The officers Of the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York are endeavoring to in
duce the Southeastern Passenger Asso-
citation to limit to merchants only the
sale of excursion tickets which it has
agreed to authorize over its lines. When
the Southeastern Passenger association
last week offered to grant reduced fares
to New York over the lines included in
that organization, they proposed to make
these excursions open ones, or, in other
words, unlimited as to the number Of
persons who might take advantage Of
them. The Merchants association re-
fused to accept the concessions on these
terms. When the Joint Traffic and
Trunk Line associations granted the re-
duced rates from points in ;heir terri
tory TO merchants desiring to visit New
York for the purpose Of 'naking their
fall purchases. the Merchants Associa-
ton guaranteed TO make good all tickets
sold at the reduced rate of which uElaw-
full use might be made or which might
fall into the hands Of scalpers, these re-
duced rate tickets, however TO be is
sued only to members OF the Merchants
Association, the members Of their i'm

eastern Association for open excursions
no such guarantee as was given 10 the

drown.
] have seen in Constantinople an UNI
fortunate Armenian bound and thrust /
into cesspool in the yard of the prison.
The ordinary procedure Of the Turkish
officials is to leave the victim until ne
sinks and is sufTocated or else makes
sham confession.
Iron hands are made with screw at
the back to go round the forehead
trunk and limbs; then the ends are
screwed together and the unhappy Ar
menian forced to speak. The man is
kept for n few days, until the marks
have worn off, and it is impossible to say
that he has been tortured
Another method of torture is to sever
the skin of the scalp and insert living
vcrmin beneath it. Men have been
known TO go mad under this frightful
torture.
This form of torture is one of the
most prominent in the whole list, and
is probably used oftener than any of the
others: 1t consists of lashing the bare
soles of the feet of the prisoner, who
has been previously fastened to the
ground, so that he cannot move
muscle. The whip is laid on until the
flesh is cut and bleeding. and the victim
seldom goes through the ordeal without
losing consciousness.
The alleged father of the present sui
tan was put to death by this method:
A large N-shaped wedge with sharpened
r., 10, rr,o,1r,H
The victim is held suspended in the air,
straddlng the wedge. Huge weights
are tied on each foot and at the word
of command the rope holding him is
cut The weights pullhim down and he
is split in two halves.
It is a common occurrence when a
prisoner refuses to tell what is wanted
of him to cut off a limb, and with the
stump bleeding and sore thrust hin
into prison to reflect and if he decides
whether or not he prefers TO change
his mind or suffer another amputa
ton. The mutilated prisoners often di'
under this treatment from blood poi
soning. caused by lack of ATTENDANCE
and care.

THE UNSPEAAABLETU TURK
Punishments Inflicted by Him on
Armenian Prisoners.
A Few of the fortunes Which Are Not
Quite So Horrible in Their Ex-
IRENE Barbarity as to BE
Unprintable.

The following is an account taken
from the British consular reports OF the
various fortunes and punishments in
flicted on the Armenians by the sultan
of Turkey Some of them are so horrl-
bic in their extreme barbarity that they
are unprintabe:
The twitch is made of two pieces OF
wood with a cord passed through one
end and forming a loop. This used to
be employed in England to hold re
fructOry horse if it was necessary to adj
minister medicine. When an Armenian
is safely in prison and will not speak
out The twitch is applied in exactly the
same way until the cord cuts into the
flesh and the blood spurts.
Two pieces of fiat board,with couple
Of notches on each side of the board, are
fastened together just like a pair OF
nut crackers and then used to compress
certain parts of the body.
Eggs are boiled hard, and while in
tensely hot are inserted under the arm
pits and between the legs of the oh
stinate Armenian. His arms and legs
are bound tightly and the eggs changed
when they begin to cool.
Washers are the little tongs used to
lift pieces of charcoal from open fires in
mangols. These tOngs are made red
hot and applied to the body in the same
way that Edward II. was done to death
in Berkeley castle.
At the Turkish prisons in CONSTANT
nople the chair torture is in daily force
as applied to recalcitrant ArmenianS
who will not speak out regarding the
whereabouts of their fellow country
men who are wanted" by the officials
There is cell in every prison, in
which is pit capable of holding water
An armchair is placed in the pit ano
the back of this chair is made to lear
forward by means of screws. An Ar
menian is put into the chair, and a ban'
of iron, the ends of which go through
the holes of the chair, is fastened acrOs:
his abdomen. The water is then Lee
in and the chair screwed forward unit
the mans head and shoulders are fOrceC
