Ashmend Bartlett shows the Dangers
of tho HAtrOcltY', AGITATION.

New York, Sept. 25.-A special TO the
Herald from Paris says: 1T Is high time
that some protest was made against the
frenzy which has seized large portion of
the British press and the British public
with regard to Turkish affairs" Such are
the weighty words of Sir Ellis Ashmead
Bartlett Nj. p. I'm a long and interesting
letter on the Aremnian question. Sir Ellis
says. among other things:

man monsters depicted hy Mr. Gladstone

Turkish control would have eXterminatsd

The greater danger 70 the Ottoman en-
pire, he aitirns. Is the risk of an outbreak
OF religious and race fanaticism, which
statesmen have foreseen and have always
strtyen 10 avert Such fanaticism was
aroused iy the Armenian outbreak OF 1885
and It's result Vas an outburst OF fury that
cost the lives or thousands of innocent
Armcnians. with all the attendant hor-

state was committed By a negro boy nam
cd John Johnson in a farm house four
miles south Of Independence. Joe Cot

robbery had been made.
The only member or the family who
escaped was little Maud Miller, IA years
old, She darted from the house and gave
the alarm. She says she saw Johnson be-
gin the butchery and strike her mother
