LONDON, Nov. 24.-The lord chief
Justices court at present is interested
in determining whether the late Will
liam L. Winans, formerly of Baltimore,
was a domiciled resident of Great Brit
ain when he died in 1897. This ques-
ton is being tested on account of a
legacy of $4,000 willed to his sister-in-
law, Ellen Delarue, on which the crown
claims legacy due. AS the attorney
general smilingly remarked, the deci-
sion, of course, will affect the whole of
Mr. Winans' millions.

Senator Mason Says Cubans Are Amply
Prepared to Conduct Their Own Az
faIrs-Safe from Invasion.

Washington, April Ex-senator
Mason Thursday introduced a joint
resolution in the senate requesting
the president to withdraw the forces
of the United States from Cuba so as
to turn the government of that island
over to the Cubans by the Fourth of
next July. The resolution is preceded
by a preamble setting forth the fol-
lowing:
In entering upon the war with Spain
the United States disclaimed any dispo-
sition or intention to exercise sovereignty
over the island; that the United States Is
under treaty obligation to give indie
pendence to the Cuban people; that the
continuance of the United States in pos
session of the islano has excited the at
tention of the world and is exciting the
apprehension of the people of Cuba; that
under the Monroe doctrine the island is
safe from foreign invasion; that the Gu
bans have shown a disposition to mako
their best efforts to govern themselves
and can undoubtedly do so without en-
dangering life or property; and that the
United States has done all that could be
expected of it.

MORE ARMENIAN MAssAcREs.
some FuEitives of 1905 Return to
Turkey and BIOodshed Speed
lily Follows.

The reports have come of the renew
al of massacres of Armenians in the
villages of Erzeroum, in Asia Minor.
The district of Alashgird. in which
they are said to have taken place, is
near the Russian frontier, and is one
of those from which the Armenian
inhabitants were able to escape across
the border at the time of the great
massacres in 1895, and subsequently.
Until last spring the Russian govern
ment allowed the fugitives the hospi-
tality of its territory among their fell
low-countrymen who were delivered
from Turkish rule in 1878, but partly
on account of the burden of their
maintenance and for political reasons,
Mr.. Zinoveiff, the Russian ambassador
at COnstantinople, was instructed TO
press on the Turkish government the
necessity for provision being made for
their return to their abandoned
homes The Turkish government,
however, represented that the villages
and farms from which the Armenians
had fed, had been occupied by Kurds
who refused to give them up to their
original owners, and whom it could
not expe1 by force, and that the re-
turn of the Armenians after so long an
absence would infallibly result in
bloodshed.
Under the circumstances the Rus
sian government did not insist on
the refugees leaving its territory, but
many drifted back ard rejoined
those who had survived the great mas
sacre of four years ago. 1t is
possible that matters might have
settled down but for the action of
some revolutionary Armenians who
crossed into Turkish territory during
the past autumn. and in the fighting
that took place killed number Of
Kurds, themselves losing many of
their band. The massacre now re-
ported to have taken place in the
Alashgird district is declared by the
Turkish authorities to have been in
revenge for the killing Of KUrds by
the Armenians in the raid alluded to.
Whatever the truth of the matter
may be, the lot of the unfortunate Ar
menians in Asia Minor, more Particu-
1arly in the Kurdish districts, is. I'M
happy. They obtain no protection
from the government to which they
owe allegiance, and they are unwel-
come in the Russian territory where
alone they can find sure refuge. The
European government regarding them
as a disturbing element in part of
the world where they all desire to see
peace maintained, have long ceased
to take any account of their griev-
ances and complaints; and the sixty
first article of the treaty of Berlin
by which united Europe promised the
Armenians an ameIioratfon of their
condition has long since become a
dead letter. These last massaeres,
therefore, receive only passing no.

Many people attribute the recent reyerses
of the British to the degeneracy of the aris-
tocracy. The life of luxury certainly does not
produce vigor.- Indigestble suppers, late
hours, constant nerve strain and lack of ex-
ercise upset the stomach and weaken both
physical and mental vitality. The blood that
makes men heroes must come from active,
healthy stomachs. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
