THE ARMENIANs.
They Will Probably Arrive in Port
land Wednesday Night.

Where They Will Be Distributed When
They Arrive-They Will stop at the At
Iantic House-Then They Will Go to W..
G. T. q. Headquarters.
The twenty-five Armenians that were
released from Ellis island New York har-
Dor Saturday afternoon and who will
come TO Portland did not arrive by the
New York boat last night. Mrs. i. M.
N. Stevens who is the head of the move
ment to look after the exiles coming to
the city said she doubted very much that
they would leave New York without her
being first notified as she had been in
constant communication with the
authorities In New York and had re-
oeived no telegram announcing the Ar
menians' departure.
When the New York boat arrived how
ever about nine o'clock last evening re-
porters for the PRESS boarded her ao-
oompanied By Mr.. George e. Bibber pro-
prietor of the Atlantic HOUSE, with whom
arrangements had been made for the en-
tertainment of the immigrants until they
could be fitted with warm clothing and
then sent to W. G. T. U. headquarters
from whence they will be distributed to
the parties who have arranged to provide
for them. The captain of the steamer
however said he had brought only seven
passengers and there were no Armenians
among them. They will doubtless leave
on the Tuesday boat and arrive here
Wednesday night. These Armenians are
refugees from the great insurrection in
Constansinople in September last when
the attack was made on the Ottoman
bank.
A number of people have kindly as.
sisted to the extent of their means in
sending to Mrs. Stevens at W. q. r. U.
headquarters on Congress square either
money or provisions OF some articles of
clothing. II any one feels disposed to
provide any Of these articles especially
good warm clothing it will be than kfully
received. 1t must be born in mind that
these people left warm climate at
warm time of the year and under the cir
cumstances must be very inadsquatsly
provided against our severe weather. f.
