Railway Men for Mckinley.

Our Demo-Pop. friends try to make
it appear that the demonstrations
which take place daily at Canton are
the results of the efforts of the heads Of
all great corporations. One hundred
thousand trainmen and telegraphers
were represented by the 5000 men who
visited Canton from Chicago the other
day, to pledge their support 10 Major
Mckinley and assure him of their loyal
" to the principles as set forth in the
st. Louis Republican convention and
their confidence in the man chosen to
represent them. This delegation of
5000 men represented the vast majority
of employees of all the roads Centering
IN Chicago and they came of their own
free will and not under the lash of any
corporation, and next November this
branch of the great industrial army will
cast their vote for Mckinley. AS the
Inter Ocean says "The force does not
exist that can compel myriads of Amer
lean wage-earners not only to dissemble
their opinions but to affect enthusiastic
admiration for that which at heart they
abhOr. No man can more basely SLAM
der the wage-earning class than the
vulgar demagogue who attributes TO
them such hypocrisy and coWardice."

An Oakland Woman Goes Cunning for Her
Husband
OAKLAND, J an. 2S.-Mrs. Sarah Blanchi,
wife of John Blanchi, a barber, went on
the warpath today armed with big re-
volver. She was in search of her husband.
whom she suspected OF infidelity. She
found him at lodging house on Seventh
street near Market, and when she got with
in range there was a lively encounter.
The angry wife fired point blank at
Blanchi. Her aim was wild. for the bullet
missed all the vital spots and lodged in his
left shoulder. Blanchi recovered himself
in time to grapple with the infuriated
woman, and wrenched the pistol from her.
AS soon as the fracas was over
Blanchi, accompanied by his wife
and her little stepdaughter, went
to the receiving hospital, where the
bullet was removed. After the surgeon
had completed the work. Blanchi and his
wife departed together. They healed their
differences, for a few hours later they
were found at their home, partaking of the
MONDAY meal with uIconcern.
Blanchi claims his wife was insane when
she shot him. He admitted he was in the
wrong. She said she had intended to kill
him and then end her life. The woman in
the case was discreetly kept in the back
ground. No arrests will follow as Bianchi
is willing to declare peace.

VERY PLAUSIBLE TALE
Served to Disarm Suspicion Against
Agent Krout
fiis Father Acted Strangely and Now Both
Them Arc Langushlng in Dur
ance Vile

DENVER, Jan. 2S.-Pinkerton detectives
have arrested Express Agent George Krout
of Colorado Springs on q charge of being
implicated in the theft of $4,000 from
the Wells-Fargo Co., several months ago.
His father, who recently came to Colorado
Springs from Cerro Gordo, ILL.,, was arrested
off the train at Walsenburg as he was leav-
ing the state and about $4,000 was found
sewed in his clothing.
The robbery occurred on the night of
of November l 1th, at the Santa Fe depot in
Colorado Springs, just after the night train
pulled out south. George Krout, the agent,
said that two men had overpowered him in
his office and taken two packages con-
signed from Denver banks, which con-
tanned $35, 900, overlooking another pack
age containing $4,000. AS Krout had
been in the employ of the Wells-Fargo
Express company for number of
years, suspicion did not at first point
to him. He told very plausible
tale and it was believed, in spite of the fact
the robbery was reported by him to have
taken place at time when the station
platform was full of people. He said the
robbers had got into the office while he was
looking to the express matter that came off
the train, and two masked men faced him
when he entered. They closed the door
and locked it, made him deliver the money,
and then at the muzzle of a pistol ordered
him TO get into bed and cover up his head.
There was cot in the office, and the agent
said he did as the robbers bade him, but
that he gave the alarm as soon as they
were off.
Krout's father, farmer, came to Colo
RADIO Springs from Cerro Gordo, ILL.,, Janu-
ary 21. His actions excited suspicion and
he has been constantly shadowed. Yester-
day he boarded train on the Gulf road
after having purchased ticket for Fort
Worth, Texas. Detective w. B. Sayers
boarded the train and telegraphed to Sher-
iff Farr to meet him at Walsenburg. There
Krout was arrested and taken back to the
Springs. He protested that his name was
Sam Jones and that he knew nothing
about the express robbery. When he was
searched $4,000 was found, most of it
sewed to the inside of his shirt.

THE ARMENIAN ATROCITIES
As Set Forth in the Consular
Reports
THE NUMBER OF THE KILLED
Has Been Grossly Exaggerated by The
Correspondents
The Commission Generally Displayed Great
Repugnsnce to Discovering the Truth.
witnesses Were Intimidated

Associated Press Special Wire
LONDON, Jan. 2S.--Bluebooks have been
issued containing all the official dispatches
relative to Armenia between July 25, 1894,
and October 16, 1895, and the reports of
SCUM commission.
The report gives the history of the Ar
menian agitation for several years and
records of obstacles thrown in the way OF
the commission by the Turkish delegates.
1t also acquits the Armenians of the charge
brought against them of burning their own
property to incite an outbreak among
their people, adding that the facts elected
failed 10 prove that the Armenians were
in revolt, but show that the agtator Murad
instgated several Armenian outrages On
kurds. The latter then retaliated and the
Armenians fled to their villages.
The report shows that the number of
killed has been grossly exaggerated, but
the report admits that owing to the alb
sence of registration it is impossible even
approximately to fix the number of VIC
Tins.
The British delegate, Shipley, in men,
oranduni attached to the joint report from
the evidence gathered by Consul Hampson,
during his tour, estimates the total number
OF victims in the Sassoun district, includ-
ing deaths from starvation. at about 200.
One of the worst cases OF cold-blooded
cruelty, Delegate Shipley says, was the
murder of prisoners in the camp at
Ghellghuzan under a promise of safe con-
duct. But the number of those so muir
dered was only forty to fifty, and not hum
dreds, as has been stated.
The report of the consular delegate re-
cords that the protest made by the dele.
gates against the intimidation of witnesses
and the suppre ssion of evidence by gov
ernment agents and their agents to remedy
this condition was always frutless, and
the elucidation of the truth was very diff
cult. Especially on the question of the
violation of women did the commission
display the greatest repugnance at discov-
ering the truth. Only four female wit
nesses were heard, the commission refus-
ing to hear more.
Mr.. ehipley further declares that the
Armenians were hunted like wild beasts
and if the slaughter was not greater it was
solely owing to the vastness of the noun.
tain ranges which facilitated the escape OF
the Armenians.
Without desiring to appear partial to
the Armenians, Mr.. Shipley emphasizes
the fact that they were exposed to the ex.
actions of the Kurds, who would have
burned their houses and stolen their cattle
unless they had paid their demands.
NO NAVAL ACTIVITY
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-It was semi officially
announced this evening that there was no
truth in the dispatch published by the

trated on the Armenian frontier in readi-
hess to move next spring for the partit n
