APPEAL FOR ARMENl4Ns


Urging Protest Against Turkeys EycIu-

BosToN, Jan. l7-rhn following is an
appeal TO the people of the United States
by the Society Of the United Friends Of
Armenia:
"'Ihe attitude talicn by the sultan and
the porte in refusing to allow the Amcri-
can National Red Cross society to entcr
Turkey is a special insult to the people of
the United States. and an insult to civili-
cation at large
IF the Turkish government is success
tul in her refusal to permit the Red Cross
to give food and aid to the starving Ar
mcnians the next step she will take will
be to stop the distribution at present given
by the American missionaries
Therefore we beg, in the name Of God
and humanity that the people of the Uni
ted States will raise their voice in one
solid cry, from the platform and from the
press, and from all quarters of this coun-
try, that the Red Cross shall enter Turkey
without delay"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE pension
committee Of the Grand Army of the Re
public was in session here for several
hours last night preparatory to appearing
before the invalid pension committee Of
the house today. There have been great
number Of bills relating to pensions intro.
duced in the present congress, and it was
for the purpose of carefully scrutinizing
these proposed measures with a view TO
endorsing certain of them that the com
mittee met. 1t is not believed to be prob
able that any general scheme Of any new
pension legislation will be recommended
at this time, though there may be sundry
amendments to existing laws urged which

Der wheat opened from 62M to CSC, advanc-
ed to Csc, closing at G65c-2ss612 high
er than yesterday.
Corn was a laggard in the race. Whilst
prices for this grain were fairly firm, out
of respect to the strength of wheat, never
theless, there was no energy or vigor in
the market. and only moderate apprecia-
ton took place. May corn, opened at 2i%GD

at 251sq25l4c-9sc higher than yesterday.
Cash corn was firm and IA of cent per

Oats-Prices were up just a trife, the
tone of the wheat market having a
strengthening effect, but, as business was
lacking, there was no indication of the
market participating in the boom seen In
the leading grain. May oats closed 4 of a
cent higher than yesterday. Cash oats
were steady prices showing no essential
changes
Provisions-Interest in provisions was
distracted by the superior performances
of the wheat market, and, for that reason
the pit was deserted most Of the time. The
hog market was steady and product dis
played a similar tone through sympathy.
At the close, January pork was 2izc lower
than yesterday. January lard, &c higher,
and January ribs a shade lower.
