HAVE TROUBLE
OVER THE WIRES

st. Louis, Jan. 5.-Under the city ordi-
nance known as the Keys ordinance, all
telegraph poles in the district bounded
by Twenty-second street and the river
and Washington and Spruce streets were
to be removed by midnight on December
81, and the wires were to be placed under
ground. The Western Union Telegraph
company did not comply with this ordi-
nance it's poles, still strung with
wires, are still standing in the district.
City Counsellor Schumacher is consid-
ering the matter, and if he can convince
himself that the city will not be liable
for heavy damages. he will issue an order
to cut down the poles in the prescribed
district.
Before the Keyes ordinance was ap-
proved the city sued the for
$3.50 900, the first installment on an an
nual rental Of S. for each of it's telegraph
poles in st. Louis. The rental was fixed
by an ordinance which was intended to
govern all w~ire-using companies. The
supreme court of the United States twice
considering the case, decided that the
company was not bound by the ordinance
as the rental prescribed was unreasOn-
able. Under the Reyes ordinance any
company seeking to place it's wires under
ground had to file an application for per-
mission from the board of public i'm
provement, to construct underground
conduits. 1t also required that Zach APP
plicant must subscribe to the terms OF
the prior ordinance, which the Western
Union had contested successfully in the
courts.
The Western Union refused to bind
itself to comply with a provision which
the supreme court of the United States
had pronounced unconstitutional. Ac-
cordingly Judge Marshal of the supreme
court, who then was city counsellor, de-
cided that the desired permission could
not be granted. Now the company con-
tends that having been denied the privi-
lege of burying it's wires, it cannot be
compelled to remove them from overhead.

OF THE
TURKISH MISSIONS

New York, Jan. 5.-Dr. J. B. Angel,
president of the University of Michigan
and ex-minister to Turkey, delivered an
address last night to the Central Congre-
gatiOnal church, Brooklyn, on the work
of the missionaries in Turkey and Of the
attitude of the Turkish government to-
ward them. He spoke in high terms of
the character and work of the earlier
missionaries and said that some of them
had aided the sultan in many ways, as
for instance in the Introduction of the
cotton planting industry and in conse-
quence they had stood high in his favor.
They found, however, that the Moham-
medans were not greatly open to CONVEX
sion and SO instead of setting Up a
separate church the missionaries bent
their efforts toward a revival of the
Christian spirit in the Greek and Gre
gOria-Armenian churches which had cX-
listed for many centuries. Later they did
the same thing for the Bulgarian the
Syrian HISTORIAN churches. However,,
the authorities of the old churches be-
came Jealous and in many ways prose-
cuted those who Joined in the revival.
Nevertheless. said DR.. Angel, the
church prospered. Many congregations
became self-supporting and in the COM
the relations between the Turks and Ar
menians became strained and the mas
sacres of 1895 began. The Armenians
had been a subject people for 600 years
and had acquired some of the character

While Being Tested BY the
Army Officers.
NOT A PERSON WAS INJURED
All Those Who Had Charge of the Trial
~
Were in a Bomb Proof Case
1.-The Charge Used.

New York, Jan. 5.-The Herald says:
One of DR.. Cuttings new steel guns
which Gen. Miles regarded as likely to
revolutiopize coast defense artillery,
burst last night at the Sandy Hook PROV
ing ground. It was an eight-inch gun,
constructed in accordance with the in
ventor's latest theories. 1t was loaded
with a charge of 140 pounds of powder
and a 300 pound projectile. Government
officials are exceedingly cautious in test
ing new ordnance and all interested in the
test were concealed in a bombproof shell
ter. The gun was discharged by means Of
an electric button. Pieces Of the gun flew
in all directions and abou the walls Of
the shelter, but no one was injured.
Maj Phipps, the superintendent Of the
Sandy Hook proving grounds and chief
ordnance officer, declined to give any
opinion last night when asked if the test
demonstrated that the Calling gun was
not superior to the gurs now in use.
Il am not permitted" said he, ito dis
cuss the matter. You may draw you own
inferences."
Advices from Washington say that the
u was being tested with the regular
service charges and that it burst at the
firing Of the last charge. 1t will be re-
membered that the cast steel Calling gun
was tested several weeks ago in the pres
ence of Gen. Miles. The general express
ed himself as much pleased with the re-
suit obtained from the test of the gun.
DR.. Calling, the inventor, was to have
been present. He telegraphed yesterday,
however; that owing to business engage
ments he could not attend.

istics of a servile people. Not having
been allowed to serve in the Turkish
army they had become unwarlike and
so bore with extraordinary patience the
robbery of their goods by the Kurds and
many outrages upon their families. On
the other hand, while the Turks are SOL
diers and unskilled in the Ar
menians developed a surprising skill in
finance and in the industrial trades. Con-
sequently after they obtained the right
to hold real estate, they grew rapidly
rich at the expense of the Turks, lending
them money, taking mortgages and in
many cases Selling their lands. This
gave rise to a feeling of hatred on the
part of the Turks, similar to hat evinced
in many parts of Europe toward the
Jews. 1t was not a religious hatred so
much as an economic rivalry and it was
out of this rivalry and the cruelty of the
kurds that the massacres grew. 70
DR.. Angel recalled the incidents at
tending the Armenian plot in CONSTANT
nople and the slaughter which occurred
in Armenia wherein 1900 or 1000 persons
persisted.
"Our missions at Harput We're burned
by he Turkish soldiers who We're sent to
guard them" said the doctor. Mission
airy Barnum was ordered to cave but
refused. Miss Gorilla Shattuck stood in
the doorway of the mission at Orfa and
declared TO the TURKS VINO threatened
her that they must pass over her dead
body before they could enter. The Turk
ish government charged hat the slain
We're revOlutionists. Thereg was mot a
word of truth in it. The revolutionists
numbered 20 or 30 young men. The rest
were innocent. Then the authorities in
the Armenian and Greek churches saw
their opportunity. They began to report
to the local officials that our mission
aries were stirring up strife. These re-
ports were carried to the sultan and the
minister of foreign affairs questioned
me. I knew many of these missionaries
myself. They la always been against
the proceedings of the revolutionists and
in some cases had discharged the teach
ers who had become tainted by anarchis-
tic associations. I made examinations
and heard no further complaint and the
last year, so far as the missionaries are
concerned, has been one of peace"
The Turkish government, DR.. Angel
added, often made improper DEGREES, but
if the minister met them with a deter
mined front and refused to abate a jot
of his country's treaty rights they would
abandon their position, for the Turks,
on the whole, are easy, g~ood-natured peo-
pie. In conclusion DR.. Angel said:
Before returning to this country I told
the foreign minister that ours was the
only power that approached Turkey with
the sole idea Of doing good. The others
had selfish views involved"
