METHOD in HIS MACNESS.

Colonel Sanders long ago contracted
the habit OF talking through his hat.
When he advocated the candidacy Of
Horace Greeley he told Montanans
that Greeley's election wasa certainitv:
when he was senator he told the peo-
pie he represented that he was in favor
OF the free coinage Of silver: when he
wanted TO be senator again he told his
political friends that he was ure to be
elected: now he is saying that Mckin-
ley will carry Montana. As a political
seer the debonair Colonel has dem
onstrated that he is not d bowling sue

1t Is said that the colonel wants the
post of minister to Mexico. If so there
is method in his madness and reason in
his vociferation. He has the IN.
qualified permission of this newspaper

HOUSE ADoRTs ARMENIAN
NJ i. REss Is. ID ~.
Those Passed by the Senate Reanirmed
Europe Called Upon to Put Down the
Continued Turkish AtrOcItIesv-StrOng
Speeches on the Matter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-The House,
after an interesting four hour debate.
adopted the resolutions passed by the
Senate, calling upon the powers sig
natory to the treaty Of Berlin, to en-
force the reforms in Turkey guaran-
teed to tho Christian Armenians, and
pIedging the support of Congress to
the President in the most vigorous ac-
ton he might take for the protection
and security of Americans in Turkey.
The House committee had prepared
some resolutions on the same subject
but it was deemed advisable afters the
Senate resolutions reached the House.
to substitute them for those prepared
by the committee.
Mr.. Quigg of New York, who had
charge of the bill, made an able pre-
sentation of the case, but there was
disposition on the part of some of the
members to 60 further than the reso-
lutions did, and Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa,
proposed to give the Turhish minister
his passports and sever all diplomatic
relations with Turkey His remarks
denouncing the Turkish outrages
and charging that the powers
signatory to the treaty of Berlin
were actuated from political and
other considerations in maintaining
the, "balanec Of powern in Eastern
Europe, were received with great en-
thusiasm, and atone time 1t looked as
if the house might be carried to his
way of thinking. But the counsel of
Mr.. Hit not to take rash action pre-
vailed. ! He@ipointed out the conse-
squences' that might result from sew
erance of diplomatic relations with o
friendly power that had fulfilled her
treaty obligations to us, and the Hep
burn proposition was overwhelmingly
defeated.
Mr.. Barley opposed the resolution
on the ground that it would be i'm
proper for us to insult the parties to
the treaty of Berlin by intimating that
they had not carried out their obliga-
tions. Mr.. Turner, of Georgia, took
similar view, and Mr.. Grosvenor of
Ohio, characterized the resolution as
''incomplete. inefficient and un-
worthy" and requested the committee
to withdraw them. They were finally
passed, however, by vote of l43 to
20, after motion of Mr.. Bailey to
send them to the committee had been
lost, SIS to 1903
