Relief Measure. in Turkey.


United States Consul Bergholz at Erze-
rum has made a report to the State De-
partment in regard to relief measures in
Turkey. He says the number of Armenian
children under twelve years of age, made
orphans by the massacres of 1895. is esti-
mated by the missionaries at $4,000 and
that the question of their relief is receiving
the attention of the Christian world. The
American board Of commissioners for for
eign missions is giving the matter serious
thought, but, so far, has formulated no
general plan of relief, although the uues-
tion of creating orphan ages, clothing fac
tories and Industrial Institutions is under
consideration. German charitable religious
societies are preparing to establish indus
trial orphan asylums at Oorpha, Cesarea
and elsewhere, and the Kaiserwerth dea-
conesses of Germany have made provision
for receiving Armenian orphans at Smyrna.
The British ambassador at Constantinople
has initiated movement looking toward
settling number Of widows and their chill
dren on the Island of Cyprus OF such
there are now within the province of Ere
rum 2O49, who are without means. In Err
zerum there are 1SO widows with 100 chill
dren, and almost as many in Ersingan and
Balbouft. The widows at the last-named
place are in particularly distressing circum-
stances, not a male major remaining.
The consul says that no active steps have
yet been taken to carry out the proposed
philanthropic movement beyond a request
to the relief committee of the province to
ascertain II the widows are willing to leave
The consul thinks the offer will be gladly
accepted.

CHEATED BY "MOONsHINERs.,
Revenue Agents Have Been FOLLOWING
Clues In the West.

During the past week ST. Louis has been
invaded by a number of revenue agents
who have been quietly endeavoring to pick
up the threads to a swindle that is being
perpetrated upon the government. For sew
eral months past the government officials
have been In possession of statements made
by the internal revenue collectors in Mis-
souri, and adjoining states to the effect that
the government was being defrauded of
revenue by the operations of a gang of
moonshiners. who were shipping Illicit
whisky to interior towns in barrels labeled
cider. Under this harmless cognomen the
"tangle-foot' evaded the duty imposed upon
the product of the still.
When the revenue agents were apprised
of the swindle they made quiet investiga-
ton. A number of the barrels in which the
"moonshine' had been consigned to country
dealers were found to bear the brand of
number of well-known and reputable manu-
facturers of cider and vinegar. Many of
the manufacturers are located in st. Louis,
and it was for the purpose of pushing their
Investigations further that the revenue
agents visited the city last week Their
purpose was to trace, II possible, the GUS
toners of the st. Louis to whom cider had
been shipped in the vicinity. Very little
has been discovered.

Want a Monitor at New Orleans.

delegation from the board of trade of
New Orleans called at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday. and requested Assistant
Secretary McAdoo to lend the Louisiana
naval militia one of the old single-turret
monitors as a training ship. with the priv
ilege of replacing It with the wooden Mo-
nongahela when the cadets at Annapolis
are given a modern gunboat for practice.
Assistant Secretay McAdoo told them that
the Monongahela would not be available for
a year and a half or two years, and that
none of the monitors remaining In the gov
ernment possession were suitable for militia
use. He added that not one of them could
be safely towed around from League Island
to New Orleans without extensive repairs,
but assured his callers that he would do all
In his power to put monitor in fit condi-
ton IL they could secure congressional

prefer to have a monitor stationed at New
Orleans, rather than a wooden vessel, as 4

persons met at the Peoples Academy. 9th

Robert Holiday, president of the Emanc-
patton Celebration and Historical Associa-
ton. called the meeting to order, and
prayer was Offer ed by James Robinson.
President Holiday then stated the object
of the neeting. Lawyer E. G. Davis spoke
at some length. urging the election of Of
ficers fer the ensuing year. w. C. Cox
grew very vehement in his opposition to
the election of officers at this meeting. A.

meeting. w. c. Payne made an eloquent
speech. erdeavoring to show that the Off
GERS Should be elected now and that they
should be good men, who would reflect
credit on the incoming administration. A
motion to adjourn was laid on the table.
Things were warm then for a time, every
BODY wanted the floor and wanted to make
speech or have point of order decided
by the chair A. B. Jones got the floor and
moved that the elect of officers be left

arose, and the president, seeing that quiet
could not be restored. refused to put the
otion to a vote. At this juncture the
president called for a collection to pay for
the hall, and. the contribution being small
he paid fer the hall himself, after which
another attempt was made to press Jones'
motion to vote. This was opposed by W.
c. Payne and Lawyer Davis. The latter
stated that the constitution of the associa-
tion provided that at no time should a
pi esident be elected by a vote of less than
twenty-five. Major Cox here attacked the
Emancipation Celebration and Historical
Association, and declared that it was n
fraud, farce and a miserable failure and
that it did not represent the $1,000 colored
people in the District of Columbia. Presi-
dent Holiday said that he believed in q
fair representation, and that he would en-
deavor to secure fuller representation at
future meeting. A resolution denouncing
the brutal murder OF Antonio Maceo, the
Cuban general, was adopted, and the meet
ing adjourned, subject to the call of the

The Lodge BILL for the further restriction

Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock by vote
of 52 to 10. AS passed, the bill amends the

over sixteen years of age who cannot read
and write the language Of their native
country or some other language; put al
admissible immigrant, over the age of six
teen, may bring in with him, or SEND Tor,

Inability to read and write
For the purpose of testing the ability OF
the immigrant to read and write as required
by the foregoing section, the Inspection ON
GERS shall be furnished copies of the Con-
stitution Of the United States printed on
numbered uniform pasteboard slips. each
containing five lines of the Consttutlon
printed in the various languages OF the I'M
migrants in double small plea type. These
slips snail be kept in boxes made for that
purpose and SO constructed as to conceai
the slips from view, each box to contain
slips of but Cne language, and the imml-
grant may designate the language in which
he prefers the test shall be made. Each
immigrant shall be required to draw one OF
these slips from the box and read and af-
terward write out in full view of the immi-
grafton officers the five lines printed there
on. Each slip shall be returned to the box
Immediately after the test is finished and

drawing Is made. No immigrant failing to
read and write out The slip thus drawn by
him shall be admitted; but he shall be re-
turned to the country whence he came at

keep. in each box at all tines a full number
Of these printed pasteboard slips, and in
the case of each excluded immigrant shall
keep a certified memorandum of the num-
Der of the slip which the immigrant failed

The Cubar section added to the bill pro-
vides that the act shall not apply to per-
sons arriving in the United States from any
port or place in the Island of Cuba during
the continuance of the present disorders
there. provided that such persons have
heretofore been Inhabitants of that island.
An amendment by Mr. Elkins, proposing
a $40 head tax on immigrants coming in
other than American ships. occasoned con-
siderable debate and was finally tabled, az
were several other amendments. The i'm
migrant measure now gees into conference,
as the bill passed yesterday is a substitute
for the Corliss- Mccall bin passed by the
House.
