reported from the committee on ap-
preparations, with the single exception
that the salary of the librarian OF

antagonized by the joint committee on
library and the opponents of the civil
service law in a discussion running
over three days.
The bill carries a total appropriation
of 81. $40, and provides for 1o.o65
salaries.
Today's session was devoted to a

IS COMING AROUND.
SULTAN AGREES TO RELEASE
TWO THOUSAND PRISONERS.
Many of Them Were Under Charges
That Might Have Resulted in
Death.

London, Dec. PA dispatch from
says that the sultan has issued de-
cree granting amnesty to 1000 Armen-
ians who have been convicted either of
crimes against the government or
against persons or property, or who
were awaiting trial on such charges.
In addition. his majesty commutes the
death sentence passed on 80 Armenians
to im9risonment in fortress, and
promises that the prisoners will be
given their liberty if they behave them
selves for three months. This clemency
is due to the Intervention of Mgr. Or
manian, the new Armenian patriarch,
who recently requested the sultan to
show mercv to the many Armenian
prisoners. The sultan then consented
to grant a general amnesty on condi-
ton that the Datriarchial mixed coun-
ell guarantees the future good behavior
of the Armenians affected by his act
of clemency.
The paper adds that the granting of
amnesty to upward of 1000 convicted
and imprisoned Armenians has created
a good impression. Two of those who
were condemned TO death who will
profit BIZ the amnesty are Armenian
bishops, but they will be inferred in the
Armenian monastery at Jerusalem. All
the reports, however, do not concur in
attributing the amnesty 70 the action
of Mgr. Ormanian. In some quarters
it is attributed to diplomatic pressure
that was brought TO bear upon the

rrKINLEY WENT SHOPPING
The Curious Crowded Close and It
Was Fifteen Minutes Before Traf-
fic Could Be Resumed.

Chicago, Dec 22-Major Mckinley
left Chicago tonight in a special car
attached to the regular Pennsylvania
train, which departs at 1880. The
train is due in Canton at 1875 Wednes-
day afternoon. Major Mckinley was
accompanied by his wife, Miss Sarah
Duncan, a niece, and Captain H. o..
Heistand. Before his departure, Major
Mckinley said that the visit to Chi
c,.ss had been an enjoyable one and
had benefited both himself and Mrs.
Mckinley. He also remarked that he
expected few callers at Canton during
the holidays.
This afternoon Major Mckinley
drove with his wife and Captain and
Mrs. MacWilliams to one of the great
stores. A number of the party went
into the building to make a purchase
and in less than three minutes en-
ployees and customers came streaming
forth to see the president-elect. The
street was speedily blocked and ii was
a quarter of an hour before traffic was
resumed.
Owing TO the fact that it was an
ncunced that Major Mckinley had left
the city last evening, aside from the
incident just mentioned, he found this
the most restful day of his visit to
Chicago.

Atlanta, Dec. 22-Hon. William j.
Bryan arrived here at II o'clock to-
night. An immense crowd was waiting
to greet him. There were cries for a
speech, and a rush for him when he
stepped from the train, but he was
hurried into a carriage and driven to
the Kimball house. The crowd fol-
lowed him there, and insisted on a
speech. A German was being danced
in the ball room by one of the swell
clubs. Before he knew what was hap
pening he was surrounded by the fair
dancers in evening dress. The German
was abandoned for the time, and the
band played. In response to continued
cries for a speech, Mr.. Bryan appeared
on the first arcade and spoke verv
briefly, thanking his friends for their
welcome to him.
Mr.. Bryan came from Chicago direct.
He did not want any demonstrations
and came by line other than by the

Washington, Dec. PAS instancine
the antagonistic attitude of Austria

eral Max Judd, at Vienna, calls the
attention of the state department to

further importation of glucose into
Austria Hungary. All producers of
glucose in Austria have formed a
trust. The market price of syrup has
been made by them q forms ($S.4D
per 100 Kilograms (220.46 pounds). This
price has enabled producers to sell
their syrup, which is even better in
quality, at lower figure. The trust,
seeing themselves undersold. have
now urged the government to assist
them. and have succeeded in their
efforts. The duty on glucose, or syrup,
has been six forms in gold $3.50 on
100 kilograms (220.46 pounds).
A new tariff, to go into effect Jan.

duty Is forms in gold (S7.23).

it is aimed only against the United
