Whereas, we have been brought to realize
the mysterious dispensation of Providence
in removing by death, from our Grange, our
much esteemed young sister Maud Clements,

deared to the order by her gentle manners
and promptness to respond to requests for
the good of the order. Desiring to perpetu-
ate her memory, be it therefore,
Resolved, That in Sister Clements, the
Grange has lost an earnest and devoted
member and the community loving friend
Resolved, That we humbly ask the privi-
lege of embalming her memory with our
praise and extend our heartfelt sympathy to
her family circle.
Resolved, That these resolutions be pub

friends of the deceased and spread upon our
records, and that our charter be draped for
thirty days.

might, the protection of our people within

Such an utterance, coming from men,
Der of the Committee on Foreign Relations

sensation, not only in the Senate, but
across the water.

Turkey. His amendment was defeated,

Senator Frye on Armenia

HOT WRATH OF AMERICA VOICED AT LAST.
CULPABLE EUROPE REBUKED WITH
FIERY WORDS.
Especial Despatch to the Boston Journal I
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. Senator Frye
OF Maine treated the Senate to-day to a
dramatic surprise The Armenian reso-
luton reported by the Committee on For
eign Relations had been called up and
Cullom of Illinois had spoken on it. The
Illinois Senator had drawn a strong and
graphic picture of the carnival of blood
and reign of atrocity in Armenia, and the
Senate was impressed with the horror of
the slaughter, when Mr.. Frye took the
floor.
The Maine Senator expected to say only
few words. He rose merely to vindicate
the Committee on Foreign Relations from
charge of inaction, to which allusion had
been made by the preceding speaker, but
he was no sooner launched upon the sub
ject than he found himself swept away by
a tempest of emotion. He was carried on
resistlessly by his subject until he had tn
thralled the Senate with an impassoned
out-burst of oratory and of genuine
American sentiment 1t was an utterance
which will ring to- morrow morning in the
capital Of every nation that placed it's sig
nature to the treaty of Berlin, providing
for the protection of the Christian sub
jects of the Sultan.
Especial interest attaches to it because
of the reports to-day of an offensive and
defensive alliance between Turkey and
Russia and the implied possibility of a
European war. 1t was an arraignment of
the Christian Powers of Europe for
watching one another jealousy with eyes
fixed only upon their armies and navies
and with ears deafened by selfshness to
the shrieks of outraged humanity in Ar
menia.
Great Britain Mr.. Frye assailed with
bitter sarcasm for her seltishness in stand
ing by while these bar5arties, which she
might have stopped, were going on
Mr.. Frye spoke of the outrages inflicted
upon American citizens, of the wrongs
done American Christians, of the burning
of the American college at Harpoot, cong
pelling the American directors to flee To-
their lives, and then, glowing with indigr
nation as he recounted outrage after out
rage, he exclaimed in vibrating tones
eff had my way, after these European
Powers had stood eyeing one another for
a year, | would have sent Congressional
memorial to Russia and say to that great
Power: Take Armenia into your posses
sion and protect these Christians, and the
United States will stand by you, behind
you, with all it's power and resources
The applause that swelled through the
galleries at this utterance showed how
completely the speaker had the people
with him. The Vice President raped in
vain for order. But this was not all. The
orator went further He asserted that the
United States had never given it's consent
or assent to the agreement closing the
Dardanelles and he exclaimed at, if
necessary in order to protect American
citizens, he would order American ships

WASHINGTON WHISPERINGS Post
master General Wilson Jan. 22nd issued
general order providing that in all cities
and towns having free delivery postal
service, the postal system be extended to
include house to house collection. For
the convenience of the department., how
ever, the introduction of boxes in houses,
until further orders, will be confined to
Portland, Maine, St. Adams, VT, Boston,
Mass, Springfield, Mass. and Is other
places. Secretary Olney has received
from Mr.. Terrell, the United States min
lister at Constantinople, a cablegram say
ing that while the Porte refuses permis-
sion to the Red Cross or to members of
the Red Cross as such to distribute relief
in Armenia, and thereby declines to of
ticially recognize that society, it will per-
NIT any person whom Mr.. Terrell names
and approves to distribute relief in the
interior of Turkey, provided the Turkish
authorities are kept informed of what
they are doing. This concession of the
Turkish government materially simplities
the Armenian situation with regard to the
effort of Miss Clara Barton and her assist
ants to furnish food and clothing to the
suffering people in the perturbed districts.

one of the new Republican senators from
Utah is Mormon, and the son of George

in Michigan from 1868 to 1879, and then
went to Utah, where he became at once
one of the leaders of the bar. He was
one of the founders of the Republican
party in Utah. 49,. Hon. William c. Whit
ney is in favor of giving the Democratic
nomination to William r. Morrison. Mr..
Whitney was something of a candidate
himself before it was conclusively shown
by the fall elections that Democratic

The Belfast Schools.

The School Committee held its regular
monthly meeting at the Superintendent 8
Office Monday evening. Jan. 9th. petit
tion for the restoration of the school on the
Searsport shore road, CORNER district No.
49, and remonstrance against the same
were received. Following are the reasons
given by the petitioners for restoration of
the school:
First. That we have a schoohouse in
good repair and all ready for occupancy,
Second. We have scholars enough i'll said
district to sustain school,
Third. We have many scholars in said
district that will not attend the city schools.
and if they did it would be much more CON
venient and better to attend in said district.
The remonstrants give the following as
the reasons for their position:
First. Our children are making much bet
ter progress in their studies than they ever
did under the district system, and we feel
that it would be taking step backward to
make such a change.
Second. a large majority of those having
scholars to send, and consequently whose
interest would be m st aft ected by "a change,
do not want it.
Third. The present arrangement is
cheaper by about So per week.
The Committee voted to refer the matter
to the City Council, after passing the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved. That in view of the sentiment
set forth in the petitions from district 13,
wherein eight out of the ten parents and
guardians of children in said district have
expressed desire that the present system
of schooling might continue, the Superin-
tending School Committee deem it unwise
to re-establish the district school against the
wishes of so many of the parents in the dis
trict.
1t was voted to print the school report for
the wear, in pamphlet form Adjourned
