Portland Argus: 1t is now a question
whether Slater plays in the Maine
League. but as we understand the facts
IN u dispute in which his services are
involved just decision would make him
a member of the Lewistons. Some time
ago he had correspondence with the
Reading, Pa, club management, which
wanted Slater for an outfielder. The
player refused to accept an engagement
under such conditions. and as nothing
further was heard from the Reading peo-
pie he naturally considered the negotia-
tons at an end. Since then Manager
Toole of Bangor. offered Slater the berth
OF player-manager of his team but not
Slater declined the offer. He then began
to do business with Manager Clarity,
and recently signed q contract to play
first base for Lewiston. He has now heard
from Reading. being rendered a contract
to play first on that club. The point at
issue seems to be whether sufficient time
has elapsed since his dealing with the
Reading club to make the claims fror,

desires to play in Lewiston

retain him il base ball law will permit.

THE ARMENIAN mAsskcass.
The Powers Not Satisfied With the suIian's
Action In the Tekat AAaIr.

Constantinople, March 25.-The steps
taken by the Sultan to punish the
Turkish officials who are held rcspon-
sible for the massacre OF 100 Armenians
at Tokat, in the Sivas district Of Asia
Minor and the pillaging Of the Arme
|nian quarter there for eight hours. are
not satisfactory to the ambassadors OF
the Powers, and unless there IL a
change in the situation very soon It is
believed that some Of the Powers will
be compelled by public opinion to make
aradical change Of their policy towards
Crete and Greece.
The remonstrance OF Sir Philiu
Currie, the British ambassador. as
cabled to the Associated Press. last
night, was one of the strongest ever
delivered by an ambassador concern
ing the massacre in Armenia, and was
intended as stern notification to the
Porte that further outbreaks in Arme-
mia would not pass without vigorous
action upon the part Of the Powers.
The immediate result was the calling
of an extraordinary meeting of the
Council of Ministers at the Yildiz
Kiosk, at the end of which the ambas-
sailors were notified that the Sultan
has ordered the dismissal of the pre-
feet OF police and CHIEF of the gen.
darmerie Of Tokat for not preventing
the massacres and for failing promptly
to put an end to the pillaging of the
Armenian quarter Of that city.
But the mere dismissal Of two minor
Turkish officials is not considered
sufficient to demonstrate the dlsplasure
OF the Sultan at the wanton killing OF
hundred Armenians. and is further
looked upon as being likely to encour-
age additional outbreaks of the same
nature. Consequently, Sir Philip
Currie has made fresh representations
to the Porte, setting forth that serious
consequences will follow failure OF the
Sultan to really punish those who are
responsible for the Tokat outrages.
The ambassadors met at the resi-
dence of the British ambassador, last
evening. and throughiy discussed the
matter. after which dispatches were
sent by those present to the capitals
of the Powers they represent Although
The results of thisN meeting has not
been allowed to become generally
known, in independent circles here the
opinion prevails that unless the am
nassadors really hold forth definite
threats of coercion in the event Of the
failure of the Sultan to adopt promp,
and efticacious measures to prevent
further massacres, there is no hope of
improving the situation
In well-informed political circles 1t
is generally believed that, IL fresh out
breaks occur DuhIic opiuiop in craof
Britain, France, and Italy will compel
the governments OF the countries men,
toned to change entirely their attitude
on the Cretan question, not only
towards Crete. but in regard to Greece.
