The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1897-07-16

Washington, July 14.-The price to be
aid for armor plate for the three new
atteships now in course of construc-
lon was the theme of extended and at
ines lively debate in the senate, fol-
owing which an amendment to the de-
cheney appropriation bill was agreed
b restricting the price of armor plate
b $500 per ton, or $125 less than the
|mendment reported by the committee
|nd recommended by the navy depart
hent as the minimum rate acceptable
p the armor contractors.
Another amendment inserted in the
pill directs the secretary of the navy to
|hvestigate as to the establishment OF
government armor factory and to re-
port to the next session of congress.
During the debate Mr.. Hale urged
|hat the failure to equip the battleships
Rith armor would humiliate the Unit
ID States in the eyes of the world and
Would lessen our naval power at
lime of possible foreign complication.
After inserting the armor amendments
The deficiency appropriation bill, the
asst of the great supply measures, was
passed
Senator Butler introduced bill pro-
rding for the establishment of sys-
em of postal savings banks under the
of the postmaster general
md the secretary of the treasury. 1t
reates every postoffice savings bank,
permitting the opening of accounts on
lot less than so cents and permitting
10 deposits of less than 10 cents.

-ange, Jr., of Illinois to be consul at
Bremen.

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE
Opening of the Convention at
Detroit.
A FAIR ATTENDANCE WAS PRESENT.
Address of Welcome Made by Governor
Pingree - In ths Election For the
Presidency the Candidates Express
Confidence of Success.

Detroit, July 1.-THE National Re
publican league convention opened with
fair attendance of delegates for an
off year in politics. Nearly all the
states are represented, although the
quotas of delegates are small in several
instances. The absence of party lead
ers who are prominently identified with
the administrative and legislative de-
partments of the national and state gov
ernments is a conspicuous feature.
The radical partisanship of the league
men was illustrated in the fact that
Mayor Maybury. a Democrat, was not
invited to offer a welcome to the dele
gates, Colonel H. NJ. Duffield having
been selected instead by the local COM
mittee. In his address of welcome Gov
ernor Pingree voiced his we'll known op-
position to favored corporations, while
Colonel Duffield. who followed took oc-
casion to remind the governor, who had
said that the hope of the country was
in the people, that "the hope of the
people is in the Republican party" and
that while it was easy to arouse a hand
clap against corporations the country
could not live without them.
The addresses of President Woodman-
see and of President Dingley OF the
Michigan league. son of the chairman
of the ways and means committee, were
enthusiastically received, and the con-
vention adjourned early after the usual
routine business.
Last nights mass meeting in the con-
vention hall was entertained for the
most part by extemporaneous speeches,
Senators Hanna and Thurston and
some of the others scheduled to appear
not being present.
The contest for the league presiden-
cy, which will be settled by today's
election, goes merrily on. Crawford of
Kentucky and Fleitz of Pennsylvania
each processes confidence in his cleo
ton, while Pollasky of Chicago asserts
that he is still in the race, notwith-
standing the Illinois delegation is not
giving him united support.
Today is held the convention of the
Republican College league. The at
tendance is light, as the sentiment of
the college men is that their gathering
should hereafter be held in April, dur

CaterpiIlars Destroy Forests.

Kingston, N. Y, July 13.-Forests
and orchards of Delaware county are
being denuded of foliage with frightful
rapidity by the tree tent caterpillar,
which closely resembles the gypsy
moth. The maple forests near Arkville
were first attacked about three weeks
ago, and now hundreds of acres of ma
pie and other forests are barren of
leaves and dying. Cocoons are found
in countless numbers in the infested
section. Green fruit is dropping from
the trees. The caterpillars move in
battalions like the army worm and the
ordinary arsenical insecticides have 80
far failed to stop them.

REMOVING ARMENlANS.



Paris, July 13.-Pere Charmetant the
director general of the French mission
in the Levant, has received by way of
the Caucasus and Tiflis report prepar-
ed by number of Armenian notables
and Gregorian bishops on the situation
in Armenia.
1t took the messenger who had the
document in charge nearly three months
to get through the difficulties and dam
gers along the Turkish frontier, which
was carefully guarded against all Ar
menians or Armenian sympathiZers.
The report, which fills 80 printed
pages. is very carefully prepared and
goes fully into the situation.
According to its authors the Turks In
Armenia, fearing European interven-
ton, have abandoned the old practices
of wholesale massacre, but during the
last year there have been clandestine
determinations and most terrible perse-
cutions, especially in the more remote
provinces
The Turks openly boast that they
have sworn to wipe out the whole Ar
menian race slowly. but surely.
The document recites in detail various
forms of persecution. 1t appears that
the tax collectors seize the inhabitants
If they do not pay everything demand
ed. Women are taken through the
streets with chains around their necks
and kept for days without food. In
some cases they are fastened to pill
lars head downward. Freezing water
is thrown over them, or they are beaten
until the blood runs. In other cases
their hands are tied behind their backs,
and then cats. first made furious, are
thrown into their bosoms. Often they
are burned in various parts of their
bodies with red hot irons.
"All the highways are guarded so as
to prevent emigration. Not a single
day passes without our hearing of or
witnessing somewhere within our un-
fortunate provinces some fiendish cru
city. The Turks and Kurds enter the
houses of Armenians in gangs, bind the
men and then outrage their wives sis
ters and daughters before their eyes"
The document concludes with the de-
spairing cry. "Our hope is dying out.
God help US. May Europe have pity
upon u.s."

New Hampshire Hotel Burned.

Exeter, n. H., July 14.-Fire broke
out on the roof of the Swampscott
House, the largest hotel in this town.
Before the fire department could get in
effective work the building was de-
stroyed, entailing loss of $4,000. The
high wind which prevailed prevented
the local apparatus from doing eff
fective work, and assistance was sum-
moned from Haverhill, Dover and 9TH
er points. The augmented forces by
great effort confined the flames to the
hotel. The hotel employees occupied
the upper story. They will lose every
thing. There were a number of guests
in the house, but all escaped with their
belongings. There was an insurance of
$1,000 on the property.
