On the authority OF one Of
the leading statisticians OF
Europe, DR.. Lipsins, OF Ber-
lin, it is stated that the
Turks haved massacred 100,
900 Armenians, destroyed
$500 Armenian towns and
villages, sacked 56Schurches
and compelled 2S2 towns to
EN- brace Mohammedanism
within the last two years.
DR.. Lipslns, says the New
York Mail and Express, is a
fair witness, and has made a
careful inquiry. He began it
with a serious conviction
that the Turks had been ma
llgned and misrepresented,
but as he went on with the
work he disco vered that the
story OF their infamies had
been only half told, and that
the full truth OF their butch
cries would not bear repeti-
ton to the ears of the Chris.
tian world. His dreadful
statistics of the devastation
Of Armenia shed a vivid
light upon the character and
purpose of the nation whose
hands the European coun-
tries are now supporting in n
war Of subjugation against
Greece.

said:

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

The Republicans have 9th
er troubles than those which
will be made by the new tar
iff ahead OF them. They are
going to haveno end ofworry
oyer finance in the near fu-
ture. 1t is an open secret
that there IS Il serious differ
ence of-opinior in the Cabl-
net on the adyisability OF
comnitting the administra-
tion and the party to the
retirement of the greenbacks
and Treasury notes. Sec.
Gage, as the personal repre-
sentative OF the bankers and
ultra gold men, will make a
hard fight to commit the ad-
ministration and party to
the retirement of those notes,
although he knows as we'll as
anybody that no such legis-
latiop can be put through
during the life OF the present
Congress: because of the sill
yer majority in the Senate.
Proof that Mr.. Mckinley is
afraid Of this question may
be found in the careful man
merlin which he avoided com.
