ALL TO BE EXPELLED.
Imperial Trade Against Christian Mission
aries in Armenia.

The London Daily News aud the CHRONICLE
have "A report from Constrntinople, said TO be
on the best authority, that an imperial trade
has decreed the wholesale expulsion of all
Christian missionaries from Armenia who
are mainly French Catholics and American
Protestants The Daily News says there is
reason TO believe the sultan has signed the
decree, but that II has not been issued. The
Chronicle thinks the trade is aimed at the
agents of the relief fund. and is due to the
fact that the missionaries gave publicity to
massacres. The Chronicle believes Lord
Salisbury could count upon French as well
rs American support in demanding the with
drawal of the trade.
