MINISTER TERRELL,s ZEAL.
Armenian Americans Relatives May Leave Turkey for This Country.
 

Armenian Americans Relatives May
 Leave Turkey for This Country.
 Washington, Oct. 16.-The United States has obtained an important con- cession from Turkey in regard to nat uralized Armenans. On the 18th of January last the United States senate adopted resolution directing the sec- retary of state, 'if consistent with the public interests, to inform the senate whether naturalized citizens of the United States of Armenian birth were allowed to visit their families and whether the United States passports held by them were recognized by the Turkish government; also whether the families of such naturalized Armenians resident in Turkey were permitted to leave that country to visit the United States; or, in brief, whether naturalized citizens of the United States or Arme- nian birth had the same protection and rights as subjects of Great Britain. France Germany and Russia, the pow CTS that signed the Berlin treaty"
 This resolution was called out by nu- meyous complaints received from mis- sionary stations. It was in part an- swered on the 23d of January last by President Cleveland, who transmitted to the senate a statement of the diff1- culties which surrounded the extension of protection of our naturalization laws % persons, alien by birth, who mad nev- CT been within the Jurisdiction of the United States, but Secretary Olney al- legged that the Turkish government had on several occasions permitted the en- igration of the wives and children of Turkish subjects who had come to the United States and here acquired citi- zenship, leaving their families behind them, and that the good offices or the United States minister had been uni- fornly exerted to assist the emigration of such persons, but that the Turkish government had asserted a "discre- tionary power'' to refuse to permit the emigration of families of naturaliZed Armenians under certain conditions.
 According to a dispatch received to- day, the exercise of this discretionary power' has been abandoned by the Turkish government. The official state ment given out by the state department reads as follows:
 Secretary Olney Is in receipt of tel tSrdpHlc ulSpdtchSS IIoill tile Onileu States minister at Constantinople to the effect that he has at last obtained telegraphic orders from the Turkish government to permit the departure for the United States, with safe conduct, to the seaports, of all the native Armenian women and children whose husbands and fathers are in the United States. The subject Is one that has been be- fore the porte for g. long time, and for the gratifying result credit must be given to MT. Terrell, who has pushed the matter with conspicuous tact as well as indefatigable zeal"

This, President Eliot believed, showed a fair average of the confusion which exists in some minds upon the issues now before them. President Eliot de- clared that the government cannot regulate the price of silver Nature and the energy and invention of man have largely to do with the prices of commodities. Thought, reason and judgment are all factors. The people should be taught these things.
 President Eliot agreed with MT Fair child that the outlook is not without hope. The people are the most fortu- nate in their well being of any on earth and as the people like and are proud of their well being they do not like to be told that they are poor, miserable, down-trodden, defrauded wretches, This appeal to them will be lost. Congressman Samuel w. Mccall made a brief address. He felt called upon to dispute the view taken by MT. Fairchild that the believers in silver are honest. He declared he believed in ealing things by their right names. The financial question" said MT. Mo Call, is the most prominent one now before the American people"and I am not so sure but that there is something in real bimetallism. But the Chicago platform is not for bimetallism. It simply declares for the coinage of gold and silver at an absolutely impossible ratio. We are a great country, but we are not great enough to change the laws of nature"
 Congressman Mccall said that he never voted for MT. Cleveland, but upon entering upon his career in congress he found himself supporting the president in nearly all his public acts. Two years ago. said he, when Chicago was burning and Altgeld did not even fiddle when the mails stopped, President Cleveland said the mails must go and they did, and it was the greatest act of MT Cleveland's career
 Colonel Warren, collector of the port, when called upon to speak at once took odds with Congressman Mccall upon the suggestion which he made upon bi- metallism. Colonel Warren said their campaign is far and above the silver question. "The plank in the Chicago platform condemning the president SpillCo OuSiy liSctl SCSGSSloll. was glad to hear the speakers express their belief in the honesty of the op- position. I believe with them. But there is nothing more dangerous than lowest ignorance What of the future? We will stand together until we have seen this thing through. But after election what then? I fear we may have achieved negative victory. How are we to remedy the dangers that sur round us? What is to be the policy of the future? I cannot help the feeling that Mckinley lacks education on the financial problem. I notice that in speaking on the bond issue recently, he said: I see no remedy for the future but the extension of the protection sys- tenn I don't deny that the protective system is a good thing, but that is not the remedy. I believe there is a grand opportunity for Mckinley to call to aid the patriotic men of these parties and form comprehensive financial policy. It should be taken out of poli- tics Some system should be devised that would allow business men to know under what law they will do business 5for the next fifty years. We want a, system that will stay putt

WAGE RARNERp VIEWS.
They Call Upon Secretary Carlisle and
 Hear Talk on Sound Money.

-ASJ S"ii Cpuh secretary SArliHle anu
 Hear Talk on Sound Money.
 Washington, Oct. 16.-The Wage Banners league of Maryland, 200 strong, called on Secretary Carlisle to-day to invite him to address them in Balti- more. H. K. L. Johnson made an ad- dress in which he said they were Cleve- land and Carlisle democrats who pro- posed to vote for Mckinley, as the rep resentative of sound money. MT. Car lisle said:
 IT there is any laboring man in the United States who has saved money out of his earnings and has deposited 1t in savings bank or building associa- tion or paid it on policy of life insur- ance for the benefit of his family and who desires to have it paid back to him in dollar worth half as much as he paid out, he ought to vote for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, for that will give him exactly what he wants. On the other hand, every man in the United States whether he works for wages or not, who wants to preserve the value of what he has already ac- cumulated and to insure the value of what he may herafter receive ought to vote against the free and unlimited coinage of silver and for the mainte- nance of sound and stable currency in this country. (Applause).
 While every man who works for wa ges or receives a fixed compensation for his services must be deeply inter- ested in the result of the pending con- test, those men who work for railroad companies, and other transportation companies, many of whom reside in your city, and some of whom are per- haps here, have special interest in the questions involved because their em- ployers are confronted by situation which makes it impossible to so in crease wages as to compensate for the diminished purchasing powers of the the policy of free coinage of silver at the ratio of IS to 1 is adopted
 These companies cannot increase wages unless they can increase the re- ceipts from their business; they can not increase the receipts from their business unless they can increase the charges for carrying freight and pass engers, and if they should attempt to increase the charges for carrying freight and passengers it is safe to say the very people who are now most clamorous for the free coinage of silver would be the first to protest against it and to demand legislation to prohibit it in all cases where such legislation is not already existing.
 Now gentlemen the laboring men have their fate in their own hands. They have the power to protect their wages against depreciation and to pro- tect their country against financial dis turbance and ruin and if they are as intelligent and patriotic as I believe them to be they will so exercise their power that no reckless agitator will hereafter dare to approach them in behalf of his wild and revolutionary scheme of finance and civil government Prolonged applause)
 "Now, gentlemen, tender to each and everyone of you my best wishes for his prosperity in whatever calling he may herafter be engaged"
 The secretary retired amid applause.

FORTY BODIES ARE FOUND
Every House within q Radius OF Halt =
Mile Razed-TwO Hundred OF tho
More Seriously Injured Persons
Taken to The HospitaI-De-
tails OF the Accident
Rather Meager.

JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 20.-An eK-
plosiou of dynamite has occurred at
Niendendorf and the poor quarter of
the town has been blown to pieces.
Hundreds OF houses are in ruins and
the havoc wrought is fearful. Anum-
Der of persons have been killed and
the populace has turned out en- masse
and is working to rescue those who
may be buried in the ruins. The win
dows Of every house in johannesburg
were broken by the explosion.
The dynamite which caused the
catastrophe filed eight trucks, which
were being shunted.
The explosion caused an immense
hole, thirty feet deep. Every house
within a radius Of half a mile of the
explosion was RACED TO the ground.
Forty dead, nearly all terribly mu-
tiiated, have already been taken from
the ruins, but the work of searching
the debris has scarcely begun.
Two hundred OF the most severely
injured were admitted to the hospital,
where several died. 1t is believed
only a few white persons were killed.
