Enoeh Chakurian, a native OF Turkey, is
at present student in the Pacific Theo-
logical Seminary. He is a resident of Tar
sus, Asia Minor, and has been in this
country about two years. He is deeply in
terested in the Armenian massacres and
watches every effort made to relieve the
situation. He was present and was to adj
dress the mass meeting. 1t was the inten-
ton to let him tell the audience of the peo-
pie in Armenia, their manners, customs,
methods of living, etc.
Thomas D. Christie. president of st.
PauPs Institute at Tarsus, Asia Minor,
writes to Enoch Chakurian as follows:
Every lady has been in great fear of massacre
for months past. The danger is not yet over.
You will have heard of the terrible work in
Marash. l have the names OF eighty-seven
killed. Among them is the name of orr
mourn over him. But think most OF the poor
father. Samuel was shot by the soldiers in the
Theological Seminary and died that night. Is
tlion of Tashju was shot also-four bullets
through him-but it is thought he will live.
The seminary was burned. More than 1000
some say 4500-Armenians fell. There has
been nothing since st. Bartholomew like these
days in Turkey. May God speedily put an end
to them.
1.-THE Samuel referred to-" said Chaku-
rian, sis nephew of mine. Is it any Won
der that I have some feelings regarding
the matter. Oh, am sorry it rained and
kept the people away. would like to tell
them of SOME of the terrible affairs that
are being done in Armenia under the very
eyes and with the consent of the Turkish
authorities. 1t is time for Christian ma
tons to be doing something else than
holding mass-meetings. Why don't they
send their navles there and put a stop to
such work"
AS he talked he paced up and down the
narrow room as a Gagged lion ready to
spring and devour his enemy.

triots. Can any one in his senses deny this?
No, 1t Is impossible. There have been dozen
opportunities by which Davie could have
shown his gratitude, but the political coward
ice OF his nature dare not do it. His masters
snap the blacksnake and faWningly and whin-
ingly the mandate is obeyed.
The valedictory contains much that is
true and presents faithful picture of the
manner in which reform" dailies have
been received in Oakland. It SAYS:
Have resolved to quietly discontinue, for the
present at least, the publication Of this jour
nal, which at no time has been q paying ven
ture, but which, it was hoped, with the assist
ance OF that element OF Oaklend's populace
become such.
In giving up the struggle they do SO with
many pangs OF regret that their efforts have
been misdrected and unappreclated The ex-
perience, though bitter, has served as a lesson
which will not soon be forgotten. It was
thought that paper which was not under the
thumb OF organized monopoly and the money-
lending fraternity would receive the support
of eoodly portion of this community, partiC-
ularly among the leaders OF the Peoples party .
but we have learned TO our sorrow that there is
less sympathy in the soul OF an Oakland Popu-
list otfice-holder than there is in Dead Sea
apple and that they do not want q reform daily
here-at least not well enough to support and
encourage one after 1t has been started The
oft-repeated chestnut, eve must have daily

Threats, is like tale told by idiot, full of
sound and fury, signifying nothing

tlcing the most rigid self-denial, hoping
against hope that their efforts to do something

naturally feel some bitterness toward the Pop
ulists who have been successful in getting into
Office for not more libearlly supporting them
some have not done so at all-but feel grateful
TO those who have done what they could to
Tighten the LOAD they carried, and also to those
who have aided with their advertisements and
subscriptions, comparatively few though they
be, many thanks are due.
The News, though not money maker, has
neither been a debt-maker, and lets 90 its hold
upon life indebted to no man.
Had there been capital behind the enterprise
to maintain it for a time at a loss the outcome

THOMAS CRELL|N THE MAN
Will Be Elected President of the
Central Bank at To-Day's
Meeting.
Frederick Delger Will Fill the Va
cancy in the Board of
Directors.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
COS Broadway. Ian. ~

y
AT to-morrow's meeting of the directors
of the Central Bank Frederick Delger, the
capitalist, will be elected director, and
Thomas Crellin will be elected by the
board OF directors to succeed John Crellin,
who died few weeks ago.
For some time after the demise of the
late president majority of the stock
holders were in favor of asking Frederick
Delger to accept the presidency. Although
consenting to go in the board as director,
Mr.. Delger positively declined to shoulder
the responsibility that the presidency
would entail. Mr.. Palmanteer. who is
vice-president and manager of the Central
Bank, precluded any possibility of being
put up as q candidate for president by
stating at the outset that he preferred to
remain as he is. 1t is known that at any
time during the past three years Mr..
Palmanteer could have had the presidency,
but he will not express the least desire
for it.
AS soon as Mr.. John Crellin died the
family, who own considerable stock in the
bank, were given to understand that any
one who was favorable to them would be
acceptable to the directors Thomas Crel-
lin was suggested by some of the directors,
and the suggestion proved to be acceptable
to all but the man most concerned, but
to-day Thomas Orellin signified his will
ingness to succeed his brother, and al to-
morrow's meeting he will be unanimously
elected. Frederick Delger will be the new
director. The other members of the board
comprising George G. Perkins, ]. w.
Phillips, George D. Metcalf f. K Shat
tuck, Charles d. Pierce, L. G. Morehouse,
w. G. Palmanteer, Thomas Crellin and
w. S. Phelan, will all be reelected.
Thomas Crellin, the new president, is a
weli-known capitalist in San Francisco and
Oakland and owns the Creilin Hotel and
other Washington street property. He
and Mr. Morgan own the Morgan Oyster
Company, and the business of the COM
pany takes up most of his time.
There was not the least friction over
the choice of president" said one of the
directors to-day. Although Mr.. Delger
was thought of for time, it was only be-
cause Mr.. Crellin at first expressed desire
to be simply a director. The Crellin fam-
lily is large stakeholder in the Central
Bank and the dice is unanimous

The Daily News has failed in it's mis-.
sion. 1t came into existence just two
months ago, with twofold purpose. 1t
was started on the cooperative principle
by printers who were driven out OF bust
ness by typesetting machines, and it also
attempted to force from Mayor Davie
some recognition for the Populist party
for its fealty to him at the last election.
The Mayor has been read out of the
Peoples party half dozen times during
the two months existence of the paper,
and he has frequently been charged with
ingratitude to I. ]. Roberts, the ex-presi-
dent of the A. R. q.
There are some very pronounced utter
ances in the last edition. It says in regard
to the Mayor and Roberts:
When the campaign opened, as before stated
stupendouS efforts were made to elect Peoples
party men, and in the front rank was Roberts

But few important moves were made by this
ungretetul individual then that was not at
first submitted to Roberts, not IN the sense of a
dictator or boss, but for the fact that Roberts
was possessed of good reasoning faculties and
was the recognized head OF an organization
whose support meant so much
1t can be asserted without fear of contradic-
ton that Tom Roberts asked no emoluments
from this misnomer Mayor in the event of his
success. But gratitude relied upon to be
the monitor which would prick the con-
science" of the aspirant.
OF what nature has that gratitude been?
ServlIlty to the same power that is to this day

life from the lips of Roberts and his comps

The feeling of resentment among resi-
dents OF this city toward the Turks for the
treatment accorded the Armenians during
the past few months was cooled by the
storm this evening to such an extent that
only about $50 gathered at the First Con-
gregational Church to attend the much
advertised meeting. The rain had been
falling steadily all day and the skv was
very threatening, which was sufficient to
keep people at home.

1t is said that the claim of Mrs. Marie
Louise Hastings against the estate of the
late George w. Gibbs has been settled ami
cably and that there will be no contest of
the will. According to the statements of
Mrs. Hastings the claim was for advances

Mrs. Hastings came out here from Lon
had been negotiating with Mr. Gibbs for
settlement, but this was stopped by his
death. Mr.. Gibbs in his will made no pro-
vision for any one except his wife and
the children of Mrs. Hastings. A suit
was threatened shortly after his death by
Mrs. Hastings through her attorney, r.
Porter Ashe, but as it was never begun it
is presumed that terms were offered by the
heirs upon a statement to them of the
claims of Mrs. Hastings.

Enforcing an Ordinance.
ALAMEDA, CAL, J an. 13.-Recently the
Board of City Trustees enacted an ordi-
nance which makes it a misdemeanor to
maintain vegetable gardens within GER
tain limits, which generally included the
more populous central portions ofthe city.
A number of vacant lots within the pro-
scribed territory had been leased by Chi
nese gardeners and were being plowed and
prepared for seed. The object was to pre-
vent the increase of vegetable gardening
within the residence districts and grad
ually to eliminate it. The gardeners paid
slight attention to the law, however, and
have gone on with their work. Now there
is a likelihood of warrants being taken out
for the arrest of infractors of the law, and
a test case of the ordinance will soon be
had.
