nm Assassin--His Fall Predicted.

London, Jan. 9.-The celebration of
the birthday of Mrs. Gladstone was of
unusual interest owing to the presence
Of Armenian Populations and the UNI

and iniquity are doomed. I have a
strong idea, however. that the %iniquites
have not yet reached their close. Never
theless a better day is in prospect for
the Armenians, as the weight of dis
grace now upon the shoulders of the
six powers is so great as to force them
