SUICIDE OF MRS. NORMAN.
Wife of One of the Owners of Outing
Takes Her own Life.

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-Mrs. Emma wor-
man, wife OF the principal owner of Outing
high-class monthly magazine devoted to
outdoor sports, committed suicide tonight
in an apartment over the Offices of the mag
azine on Fifth avenue. She had lived at the
Hotel Majestic, with her husband and inva-
lid son, and her suicide is attributed to
anxiety for the latter's welfare Mrs Wor-
man, who was fifty years of age had re-
mained at the country residence of the
family at Westport. In the Adirondacks,
until few days ago. when she came here
to be near her son, Emanuel, who was
treasurer of the Outing Company" and for
two and one-half years past had been suffer-
ing from partial paralysis. DR.. Louis Sayre
had performed two operations in the hope
of relieving the young man and had ar
ranged TO perform another one tomorrow.
1t is to the mental strain which the knovl-
edge of this fact brought about that the sui
eide is attributed: The son, when seen to-
night, said that his father was utterly pros
trated with grief. He declared that thev
had always lived happily together and that
he knew OF no reason other than worry for
his mothers death.

of the committee on foreign relations Sem
ator Davis expressed the sentiments or a
majority OF the committee when he said:
III true, this Is the most important diplo-
matte event which has occurred in the past
nrty years. 1t means that Russia can move
her armies across the Turkish border. Such
a treaty would result in the immediate set
teHent of the Armenian question, and II
france has also entered into the alliance,
as appears probable, the result would be
that the fleets of those TWO countries would
Virtually control the Mediterranean. and
that means more than any one can now
forsee. 1t also means that England Will
have something to do besides bullying Un-
Gle Sam"
Senators Morgan, Lodge and Cullom read
the report with avidity, and all remarked
on the vast Importance of the news If it
should prove to be true. Mr.. Lodge said
that coalition between Russia and Tur-
key, such as that indicated, would mean
that England would have her hands full or
business on her own continent without in
terfering in American affairs.
Senator Villas, who, while not member
of the committee on foreign relations, takes
great interest in foreign questions. re-
marked that 1T looked as il Russia had at
last succeeded in getting foothod on the
Mediterranean and was on the eve OF yir-
tually annexiRg Turkey to her dominlons-
He confessed that his sympathies had al
ways been with Russia in this struggle.
The French ambassador was seen. but
said he had no news on the subject, and
apparently was disinclined to credit the
Pail Mall Gazette's statement: Other diplo-
The dispatch was read with great sur
prise by members OF the House committee
on foreign affairs. Mr.. Hit was inclined
to doubt the news. He said, however, that
if Russia had signed such treaty she
must have done SO with full knowledge OF
all the consequences that must follow.
The treaty of Berlin, which rescinded the
Russo-Turkish treaty OF San Stephano
was designed particularly to prevent such
an alliance as the Pail Mall Gazette out
lined and to preserve the balance OF power
OF Europe. For Russia TO trample on that
treaty must provoke the gravest imagin-
able consequences. The committee had
been considering the relations of Great
Britain and Turkey but short time be-
fore the dispatch arrived, and had adopted
the Armenian resolution which refers to
the conditions under which Great Britain
acquired the Island Of Cyprus.
Mr.. Draper of Massachusetts,, said that
in his recent trip abroad the prevailing
feeling against Great Britain because of
what the other powers regarded as her
land grabbing policy was everywhere so
strongly manifested that no coalition which
left her out could be an entire surprise.
Mr.. Quigg doubted whether Turkey would
take part in an alliance against England,
for he believed that England had prac-
tically connived at the oppression of the
ArmenianS.

Santa Fe Railway System Likely ia
BE Split Up, 1t Is RepOrted.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The Tribune to-mor-
row will say: Complete dismemberment of
the great Santa Fe railway system is likely
TO be the result of the recent reorganization
Of the main lines from Chicago to Albu-
querque, N. VI. Less than a year ago the
Colorado Midland was dropped and placed
in charge of receiver designated by the
bondholders of the Midland month ago
it was decided to give up the Atlantic &
Pacific to its first-mortgage bondholders,
and c. w. Smith was appointed receiver.
1t Is now learned that IL is the intention OF
the new Santa Fe management to also re-
linquish control of the st. Louis q San
Francisco road. The American bondholders,
1t is understood, were in favor of retaining
these properties and reorganize them, as
originally contemplated by the joint reor
ganZation committee. But Messrs. Flem-
ing and Luden, who represent the English
and Dutch bondholders. who hold three
fourths interest in the property. are said to
be determined to get rid of the auxiliary
lines. They have conceived the idea that
these lines are a burden the main line
recently reorganized. and think better re-
suits can be achieved by making traffic
agreements with those roads,

HOUSE RESOLUTIONS.
Foreign Affairs Committee ON the Ar.
menian Question.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Contrary to ex-
pectation to-days meeting of the House
foreign affairs committee did not deal with
any of the several delicate questions before
the committee, except the Armenian mas
sacres. In response to overwhelming de-
mand from religious and other organiza-
tions, resolutions in some respects pat
termed after those before the Senate were
adopted, and Mr.. Quigg was directed to re-
port them to the House. Nothing was done
about ambassador Bayard's two speeches,
because Mr.. Dinsmore, of the committee
in charge of the matter, asked for a post
ponement. The committee adopted the
diplomatic and consular appropriation BILL
which, however, does not make any decided
changes from last years allowances. The
Armenian resolution will be reported to the
House by Mr.. Quigg Monday. Its tone is
somewhat milder than that of the Senate
resolution. After reciting the purpose Of
the treaty of Berlin, the resolution says:
Whereas, by a conditional treaty be-
tween England and Turkey, dated June 4.
1878. it was provided that if any attempt
should be made by Russia to take posses
sion Of other Armenian provinces than those
at that time occupied by Russia, England
force of arms, and that, in turn for this en-
gagement on the part of England, the Sui
tan would surely reform the local admins
tration in those other provinces and would
fully protect his Christian and other sub
jects there, and would assign to England
the island of Cyprus, to be occupied and ad-
ministered by England, to the end that she
might be in a position TO perform her en-
gagement and prevent by force of arms the
Christian provinces of the Ottoman Porte
from passing into the hands of the Chris
tian government of Russia: and,
Whereas, it appears that the said i'm
provements and reforms have not been car
ried out and that the Armenian subjects of
the Porte have not been secured against
Circassians and Kurds, and that the free
exercise of religion is not permitted in many
places within the dominions OF the Porte;
and that, under color of suppressing and
Furnishing political disorder, outrages have
been perpetrated on the Armenian Chris
tians of a most cruel and malignant char
acter; therefore, be 1t
Resolved. by the Senate and House of
Representatives in Congress assembled, that
the President be and is hereby requested
to communicate 10 the governments sigma
tory to the treaty OF Berlin the profound
regret of the American people and their
government that the engagements made in
that convention for the security OF Ar
menian Christians have not been per-
formed; and, be IL further
Resolved, That the government Of the
United States expresses its sympathy for

the worst rain storms of the season

the company we're we'll known, and
every one expressed desire to hear

and small-sized audience the program
was carried out to the entire satisfac-

of the finest concerts ever given to a

encored throughout.

they will undoubtedly make the home.
team play for everything they get.
AS these will be the first games of the
season great preparations are being
made by the base ball enthusiasts to
attend. Some predict that the entire
population Of Morris, if not Stevens
county, will attend. At least there is
no doubt but what the grand stand
and bleachers will be crowded. If
there is one thing that Morris can do,
it is to turn out a big crowd to a good
base ball game
The Morris team is scheduled to go
to Glenwood the Fourth of July,
where they will cross bats with the
Elbow Lake team for purse of $75.
The team from Elbow Lake will be
strong one, and the people who will
go to Glenwood to celebrate the glor-
ious Fourth will no doubt see some
fine ball playing.
The Packers of ST. Paul have been
trying to arrange for two games with
Morris to be played on the 4th and
9Th of July, but previous arrange
ments with Glenwood makes it i'm
possible to accommodate them on
the 4th. They are trying to arrange
for games on the 9Th and 9Th, but as
yet have not heard.
The Appleton Hardly Ables,"
flushed with their victory over the
Benson Sicklies," intimate that they |
might meet the Morris team, provided |
they be allowed the privilege of NAM
ing our players. Perhaps they are
sandy enough to tackle our Daytcns
or Brownies.
