Chicago January 5.-H. H. Van
Meter who prepared the Missionary
Manifesto" bearing ON the origin Of the
Chinese outrages, has completed an
other upon the Armenian outrages, TO
be translated and sent TO every news
paper of importance published in Aus
tria, England, France, Germany, Italy
and Russia; the powers who are parties
with Turkey in THE Treaty Of Ber'
lin" of 1878. He says:
THE powers do not dare to touch Tur-
key" said an official of the Ottoman
Empire. "One watches the other and
waits, dreading to advance, as the
treachery of the past has warned them
to beware of the honor. both Of friend
and foe. If one nation stirs, another ia
ready to strike, so nothing is done"
Speaking Of the massacre at Zeitoun,
and the recent revelations Of
THE REAL RELATION
between the Sublime Porte and the
Turkish atrocities, he greatly regretted
it. and added: The Armenians have
been deceived, having been lead to be-
lieve that the powers wou2a protect
them, according to the treaty of Berlin;
pledging all necessary reforms; but
they have been betrayed by the powers
of Europe, who guaranteed their protec-
ton"
The blood of the murdered men, out
ragged women and slaughtered children
of Armenia is upon those statesmen Of
Europe who have permitted their per-
secution, in spite OF pledges and power
TO prevent.
Before the throne of the Eternal, they
stand to-day to testify against the
bloody prosecutors and their peridious
beIayers, and
THE DAY OF RECKONING
is drawing dreadfully near.
One of the most momentous times in
the history of the world is at hand, and
a crisis is coming which may end in a
clash and crash of mighty empires.
Any spark of international jealousy
i'm the Occident or the Orient may eX-
plode all the magazines Of Europe and
the Americas combined, at almost any
moment.
Let England even try to touch Vene-
zuela. and so exasperated are the peO-
ple of the Great Republic at British in
trigue and overbearing, that they would
respond instantly to a call TO arms, and
all the Americas would combine to cut
short this detested system in the new
world. when Russia would rescue Ar
menia and wrest Asia Minor from the
Turk. and The world would be at war.
Australia. Canada and the Indian En-
pire. with all the colonial possessions OF
Europe. as well as all the allied nations
of earth. Christian and heather alike,
would be drawn into its terrible vortex.
RUSSIA TO THE RESCUE.
When. in 1878. the victorious Rus
SLAMS. with their liberated allies; whom
thew had rescued from the atrocious
Turk. were laundering at the very gates
Of ConstantinOple. and had throttled
this inbuman monstrOsity upon his tot
tering throne. tll in mortal terror he
was ready 10 release the helpless vic
tins Of his Outraeings, ravishines, rob
berries and butcheries. and willing to ac-
ouiesce with any terms that would toll
erate his execrable existence, and per-
NIT him TO escape the just punishment
for his internal fcndishness, certain
mowers of Fur0De. for financial and pO-
litical purposes, interpo5ed to checkmate
fbo Car and turn back the triumphant
allied armies which had brought the
bloody Turk to bay. tin he stood face 10
face with his former victims. then his
victors. and trembled as he saw his in
evirable fate about TO befall him.
Then came the Treaty Of San StefanO,
March .. 1873. between Russia and Tur-
key. arranging terms Of peace, as the
triumphant armies closed in upon Con-
stantinople Then the humane Turk
uIeaded for international interference
"in the interests Of humanity" and
ENGLAND and Austria, anxious for their
selfish interests. began 10 intercede, till
finally five powers intervened. when
THE CONFERENCE OF BERLIN
was held. which began on June 13. 1878,
having been called Os,enzibly in tho
interests Of peace" but in reality 10
