APPEAL TO M'KINLEY.



Boston, Dec 25.-At a convention of
representatives of the Armenian Revo-
luton federation the following resolu-
ton which was telegraphed to Pres1-
dent Mckinley, was adopted:
Boston, Dec. 25.-To His Excellency
Vim. Mckinley. president Of the United
States, Washington. The committees of
the Armenian Revolutionary federation
of this country, in their annual con-
vention assent led in Boston, unani-
mously congratulate you upon your re-
election to the presidency of the United
States, and invite your excellency's kind
attention to the deplorable condition in
which our people in Armenia are per-
ishing and will soon be exterminated If
a powerful hand does not come to the
rescue OF such a nation which has been
the champion of civilization. for cen
turtles in Asia Miner.
In the present complicated situa-
ton of European diplomacy the United
States is the only nation that has been
unselfiSh and neutral in Oriental affairs
and yet q friend for suffering races;
the only nation who can terrorlze the
great assassin and his bloodthirsty IA
natics to save the remainder of their
victims from imminent bloodshed.
@Our fathers and brothers gave their
lives for the sake of our country, and
we are all ready to fall in their places,
but in this utmost struggle have we
not the right to expect assistance from
this great republic which founded its
existence upon revolution and which
has the inheritance of liberty from
washington and Lincoln2
please accept our sincere wishes and
assurances of our highest regard

Mr.. Hanford, in telling MT. Lee Arthur
what kind of a. play he wanted, said:
"A play that goes right to the hearts

simple language; that's the kind of a
play I want
And that's exactly the kind of a
play I have tried to make this one" was
Mr.. Arthur's answer Read it over and
see if you think I have succeeded
Events have proved that for once at
least one author was correct in his eSti-
mate of his own work Private John
Allen has gone straight to the hearts
of its audiences. Its thrilling situa-
tions startling climaxes, and its pictures
of characters have been followed with
close interest by crowds which included
Mr.. Hanford's old admirers, augmented
by those who We're attracted by the
fame of a successful play.
Every setting used in the four acts

MUST BE HUNTEp DOWN.
Only Way to Stop the Beers From
Fighting.


New York, Dec ga dispatch to the
Tribune from London says.
The English Christmas comes TITS
year with holly and nistletoe but with
no rue. The work in South Africa is ur-
finished but there is no sense of humili-
alton in the unexpected reyerseS and no
bewilderment over the holding up Of the
British army at the three points of at
tack and the failure to accomplish the
relief of the starving garrisons. The
news from the theater of war Is meagre
and what there is points to gradual
breaking down of resources in the B0er
resistance. It is mainly a problem of re-
mounts and relays of horses. The infan-
try cannot bring the war to a close by
sitting tight ON the railways ana in the
chief towns.
The Boer guerillas must be hunted
down and this can be done only by sup
plying The mounted force with droves of
horses for riding hard and fast over the
veIdt. The war office has never been able
to comprehend the necessity for pur-
chasing horses on an unprecedented
scale for operation in South Africa
No intelligence has been received from
Kitchener recently and private adyices
Indicate that railway and telegrapEic
communication between Cape Town ard
the north has been suspended, partly by
the operations of the Boer raiders ard
partly by the heavy rains, and this fact
may account for the silence Of the wires.
Considerable anxiety as to the situation
in Cape Colony is still said to prevail In
military circles in Cape Town, but here
there is the fullest confidence in the abiI-
Ity of Lord Kitchener, who is now Oh
the spot to crush the marauding corn
mandoes- The Beers are not in sufficient
strength to seriously interfere with the
British lines of communication and anv
damage that they may have done to
railway and telegraph lines will no
doubt be quickly repaired.

NOT ENOUGH TROOPS.
Admiral Barker Says More Soldiers
Are Needed in Luzon.

Utica N. Y. Dec. 25.-In an interview
on the Philippine situation Admiral
Barker said: THE difficulty has been
that we have not had soldiers enough in
the Philippines. The Filipinos have not
felt that they would be protected from
the insurgents in their lands. II they
should come out boldly in favor of the
Americans there is no telling when the
insurgents would swoop down on them
We have not enough troops in the ISL
ands to prevent them.
But things are better now than they
have been although we should by no
means withdraw our troops without re-
placing them.
With the passage Of the army bill we
can send our regulars over there to take
the place of the volunteers when they
are called home in the spring This not
only should be done, but must be done
if the islands are to become quiet under
the American flag. Then again, every
official whom Uncle Sam sends to the
Philippine islands should exercise the
strictest integrity and honesty in his
methods. Just at this time the people
Of the islands would hang a man for Iy-
ing as quick as they would for murder,
so great is their SUSPICION

The payment of the Duke of Man
chesters debts is not yet an accom-
plished fact.
Negotiations have been in progress for
a. settlement on Terms which would war
rant an annulment of his bankruptcy
The dukes actual debts amount to $115,-

dealings with money lenders at high
rates of interest
The remainder is due to tailors, horse
dealers, jewellers and other tradesmen.
While he is willing to pay the latter
in full, Mr.. Zimmerman has demanded
terms from the former, who have re-
fused to abate their claims The legal
expenses of bankruptcy proceedings are
SO. 500 and Mr.. Zimmerman must pay
that in addition to the total OF the

A petition is in circulation asking the
