AN APPEAL TO THE POWERS.
The Senate Reminds Them OF Their Duty
Ito Armenia.

The Senate Reminds Them OF Their Duty
Ito Armenia.
Having stood idly by for months while the
Turks have been slaughtering the Armeni-
ans. it Is believed by some United States Sem
ators that the great Powers that are parties
to the Berlin Treaty of 1878 may be induced
to reverse their position out OF regard
for American sentiment, as expressed
in resolution of Congress such
a resolution, for example, as was reported
by the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions and has now been passed by the SEN
ate. The resolution calls upon European
Powers to protect Christians In Turkey and
pledges support to the President in show
Of force. In the Dardanelles.
Tho resolutions which were adopted are
preceded by preamble which sets forth the
provisions OF the Treaty of Berlin, and then
in effect criticise the Powers that became
parties TO that treaty for their failure to
carry out its provisions. The President ls
requested to communicate the resolutions to
the respective Powers. Then the concluding
resolution assures the President OF the sup
port of Congress In the most vigorous action
he may take for the protection and security
Of American citizens in Turkey. and to OBJ
tain redress for injuries committed upon
their persons or property.
Perhaps the most sensational remark made
was that uttered by Mr. Frye that If he could
have had his way Russia would have been
told to take possession of Armenia, with the
assurance that the United States would stand
by her. Mr. Frye did not refer to the posi-
bic results of such an alliance. The rcsolu-
ton now goes to the House for its concur
renee.

STORMS EAST SOUTH AND WEST.
Rain, Snow, Sleet and Heavy Wind Cause
Great Damage.


Great Damage.
One of the heaviest storms OF the season
prevailed in the South for three days and
then travelled slowly North. At the same
time there was heavy weather in the far
North and Northwest. Both storms moved
toward the Eastern coast. and New York
got the benefit Of the combination.
The storms we're characterized by terrific
winds, heavy rainfall, and snow and sleet.
Telegraph wires were blown down in many
States. in some cases the poles being blown out
of tho ground. Great trouble was experienced
in the South, especially at Baltimore, Md. A
hurricane blew there, and the rain came
down in torrents. In Buffalo, N. T.. and
Detroit, Mich, they had rain and snow.
The main storm started in the Gulf or
Mexico. and moved North. The storm centre
oscillated between the Ohio Valley, Tennes-
see and Georgia, but spread to Iowa, Ne
braska and through the Mississippi Valley.
The lake region had heavy snow.
In New York City and Vicinity the high
wind stripped the trees Of all loose branches.
which. ct daylight, were strewn about the
streets, on lawns, and in dooryards. The
wind also had the effect OF starting the large
fields OF ice In the Hudson River away With
the high tide.
Along the New Jersey coast an unusually
violent Northeast storm ragged for twenty
four hours. The wind blew with the force
of hurricane and did considerable damage
at Ocean Grove, Highlands Of the Navesink,
Long Branch, Montclair and the Oranges.
Reports state that blizzard ragged In
Southern Iowa; Eastern Kansas, throughout
Missouri and extended as far South as Little
Rock Ark
