ENCOURAGEMENT FROM TERRELL

LONDON, Feb. 6-Miss Clara Barton,
president OF the American Red Cross So
ciety, and the rest of her party left Vic
toria station yesterday en- route for Con-
stantinople. The railway company re-
served q carriage for the exclusive use Of
the party, and a cabin was also reserved
for them on the channel steamer. In nd
dition TO this the steamer ordered its agent
Ia Calais TO show the party every possible
courtesy.
Miss Barton will remain In Paris a few
days, and will also make a brief halt In
Geneva. She will then go TO Vienna,
where she will take a brief rest and con-
suit with United States Minister Trip.
At Vienna she will take the Orient ex-
press and go through to Constantinopie.
United States Minister Terrell Of Con-
stantinople lad been asked If he would
appoint Miss Barton and her comrades in
the capacity OF individual members OF the
Red Cross society as bearers Of relief TO the
Armenians, to which Inqp.-sy Mr.. Terrell
replied that he would, but rnat he would
appoint 10 Armenian who had been natu-
rallied as al American citizen, nor would
he appoint any newspaper reporters.
Upon the strength OF this answer, Miss
Barton decided TO start for CONSTANT
nople at 1nce.
During her stay In London n number OF
the friends OF Armenia called upon Miss
Barton, who improved the opportunity
thus afforded to acquire all the inforna-
ton possible concerning the situation in
Armenia Miss Barton declined the honor
OF a public reception which was offered to
her. On Saturday she took luncheon with
Lady Henry Somerset. and Tuesday even
ing dined with Canon Wilberforce ut the
canonry OF Westminster Abbey.
