MONTEzUMA CASTLE.
Fears That Recent Excavations Have
Weakened tho Walls.

Fears That Recent Excavations Have
Weakened the Walls.
EDITOR COcONINo SUN-Dear sir:
On u recent trip to the region OF the
Montezuma we'll and castle, / was
informed by a gentleman who lives in
that vicinity that the excavations made
this summer in the castle has greatly
weakened the walls, and it is feared
the building will fall before great
while if something is not done. 1t
seemed to me pity that this fine old
ruin should be destroyed. and said
so to my informant. and volunteered
to do what could to have it protect
ed. / have written Drs Merriam,
Fewkes and Fernow at Washington
in this behalf, and they have called
the matter to the attention of the
chief of the bureau of ethnology who
will do what he can for the preserya-
ton of the building. The main
trouble seems to be, however, that no
money is allowed this bureau for put
ting these ruins in repair and in safe
condition. therefore write You this
letter and ask that you give it space,
that any of our citizens who can be of
service may either devise some plan
for raising the necessary funds. or
unite in asking an appropriation from
Congress for this purpose. While the
ruin is located in Arizona, the mat ter
of its preservation is really one of ma
tional interest; and I believe small
appropriation could be secured. sufli-
Client, however, for all needs.
1t may not be out of place here for
me to quote what DR.. Merriam said o {
this matter in his letter:
so far as l know Montezuma Cas-
tie is the largest, and in many respects
| the finest cliff dwelling in the world,
and l should regard its dissertation rs
national misfortune"
have taken the liberty to ask the
use of your columns that our people
may know of this matter, feeling sure
of your interest and corporation.
have also written to-day to ascertain 4,
If possible, what it would be likely tn
cost to put the ruin in repair. Very
truly yours. FRANK c. REID.

The politicians have already begun
work on President-elect McKinley's
cabinet and are figuring as zealously
as though they had actually been
asked to do the work. 1t is said that
the gold democrats think they ought
to have II representative in the cabinet.
Some of them may really think SO, but
thinking and getting are two very
different things, rs Mr. Bryan can
testify if he will. Mr. Mckinley is a
very courteous gentleman, and he
doubtless feels Obliged to the gold
democrats who voted for him; but he
is also partisan of partisans, aud it
will be a good guess to say that no
man will be member of his cabinet
who is not Il republican. Even were
he disposed to have a democrat in his
cabinet the experience of President
Hayes and Cleveland in going outside
Of their parties for cabinet advisers
would probably cause him TO think
sometime before doing it.

The loss of the Senate is very
serious blow to the silver men, not
only because it was entirely unexpect-
ed and unprepared for, but because
it will destroy their last hope of being
able to keep the silver question before
the public during McKinley's admins.
tration. The silver leaders had count
ed much more confidently upon keep
ing their majority in the Senate than
upon the election of Bryan, and had
planned to use that majority to prevent
any tariff legislation during McKin-
ley's administration, unless the bill
passed should cary silver amend
ment, just as they did at the last ses-
sion of Congress. They still say that
they intend to keep up the fight for
silver, but they do not say how. Un-
less there is a hitch in the present
programme the republicans will be
able to legislate as they please after
the 4th of March, regardless Of the
silver men. Should the legislation of
the next Congress, tariff or any other
sort, fail to give the country the
promised relief from the present un-
satisfactory commercial and industrial
conditions the silver question will
keep itself before the public, but
should general prosperity follow that
legislation it will be difficult, If not
impossible, for any party to make a
national campaign with silver as the
main issue. An overwhelming ma
jority of the voters have just declared
against silver, and about the only
thing that would cause enough Of
those voters to reverse themselves TO
e,erse the result four years hence
will be failure to derive the benefits
they expect to get through their de-
feat of silver. Meanwhile, men who
voted for silver and who have not
changed their minds are already ask
ing, what can possibly be gained by
keeping up the agitationP

DIR. Smith Of American Board Of For
eign Missions ON Armenians.
The Union Preachers meeting was held
morning.
Rev. M. S. McCord was made president,
and Rev. J. G. Vose, ID. d., vice presi-
dent for the next year. BY unanimous
vote the chief or police was thanked for
doing so much TO keep obscene posters
from windows and boards throughout
the city.
Dr. Smith then spoke on Armenia. He
said: "lhe papers have said so much of
late that nobody has an excuse for ignor-
ance about the situation in Armenia. 1t
reveals the purpose of Turkey to beat
down IL not exterminate that people.
All Greeks have been spared ana for
reason. The Armenian Christians were
the people Of enterprise; the educators,
the farmers, yea, the bankers, and Tur-
key wants TO destroy such standing evi-
denoe OF the good done by Protestant
Christianity there.
OF million and a half Armenians some
rs, 900 lost their lives. The crime
against humanity is the same, whether
more or less perished. The females ravish-
ed, fomilies ruined. starving thousands,
all make a story to crimson Turkey with
shame, and I'll the nations with indigna-
tion yea. and move the powers Of the
world to do more than stand by doing
nothing. Thanks TO Christians of Ame-
rica, much relief has been sent. But
more Is needed. Moslems, from the
Mosques, aided by Turkish soldiers and
Kurdish robbers, with preconcerted sig
mails (when to begin the butchery; when
TO cease y, fell on helpless people. Yes,
!, was deliberate and adds to the guilt OF
Turkey.
Dr. Smith defended Christian mission
aries in Turkey from the charge that
they had counselled Armenians to revolt.
Never has even one done this. We have
pitied, fed, clothed, sheltered Armenian
sufferers, but that Is all we have done and
that l am rrond to say the missionaries
did those things, as Christ would have US
do for he needy anywhere.

EAST PROVIDENCE.
Annual Town Meeting Today--The
Rate of Tax Reduced.


The annual town meeting of the legally
qualified electors of the town of East
Providence was held in the Town Hall
this morning, upward of 300 persons
being present. At 10 O'Clock the meeting
was called to order by Hon. George n.
Bliss, moderator, who read the warrant,
which called for the following articles:
First, to make all necessary appropria-
tions for the expenses of the town for the
ensuing year.
Second, to raise by tax on real and
personal estate such sums OF money as
may be necessary to pay the town debts,
to- defray the charges and expenses OF the
town. TO pay the towns proportion OF
the State tax, and for other town pur-
poses.
:. Third. to act on any other business
that may leaglly come before the meeting.

Hon. IL. III. Wilson moved that the Sec
ond article OF the warrant be taken up

sets OF the town, together with the tax OF

amount of appropriations recommended
by the Town Council are Sl15,e
leaving s24, ,sCa95 for special
Rppropriat Ions, and the motion
was carried. Mr.. Wilson said he hoped
the number OF liquor and hotel licenses
would be much less than formerly.
MIR. Wilson then oierei resolution
that the rate Of taxation for the ensuing
year be s1 on each 800 OF real and per-
sonal property. Mr.. T.. 4. George spoke
in opposition to the motion and was
not in favor of reducing the rate OF taxa
tion at this time as he thought should
advance be made In the Improvements OF
the town, rather than come TO stand
still, or 20 to the rear and he hoped the
rate of taxation would remain the sans
as last year III. v. Plumber OF River
side amended Mr.. Wilson's motion tuat
the tax rate remain the same as last
year, sl.16 for each 5000 Many persons
spoke both for and against the amend
ment and there was some very plain talk
In which the conduct OF the police force
at Riverside was severely criticised at
which Mr.. Franklin Munroe, sergeant
OF the police at Riverside, responded In
defence OF the actions OF the police al the
lower portion Of the town. The ques-
tion was put and the amendment was
lost, and the rate OF taxation was voted to
be fi. 90 per 500.

main principle" says Lord Cromer,
upon which the work OF reform in
Egypt has been based from the begin
ming may be summed up in single
phrase-European head and Egyptian
hands. Our task here is not to rule
the Egyptians, but as far as possible to
teach the Egyptians to rule themselves.

misinterpreted. An interesting proof
OF the peaceful and contented spirit Just
now prevailing among the people is
found in the fact that the present dis

feeling which has been aroused be-
tween the Mohammedan and Christian
subjects OF the sultan have produced no
