Erzerum Is the present grea. distributing
depot OF eastern Turkey. But it has no
raalroao. and Is not on a navigable river.
1t Is merely a caravan center to which
long trains OF camels and oxen wend their
way from the Black Sea coast, and from
which, after unloading and repacking they
set out upon distant journeys into Persia
and the Tigris valley. The city itself is in
fertile valley on the head waters of the
Euphrates river. and has about 10000 in
habitants; but the valley is 5000 feet above
the sea, and surrounded by barren noun

and very cold in winter If the channels

EXPECTS NEGROES TO EMIGRATE.
Senator Morgan Discusses the Race

Senator Morgan Discusses the Race
Problem in the South.
Editor Greer of the Marion (Ala.) Stand
ard has received a letter from Senator
Morgan relative to his views on the suf-
frage question. The following is an inter-
esting part of it:
1.-THE apportionment bill and the counting
of the electoral vote without the question
being raised as to the constitutionality of
the presidential election in Louisiana and
Mississippi is distinct victory for white
suffrage.
Maryland has seen her opportunity and
has fastened to profit by 1t. When things
are coming our way there is no necessity
for clamorous discussion until they are set
tied, lest some one might interrupt. So
think the least said is the best just now
on the negro question. Those people will
begin to draw of to the Philippines at an
early day. They are already going to Ha-
wall, and we shall soon find room for
white people in the south. Then We shall
be free and happy people.
when the time arrives I will elaborate
these views, but at present 1t is better not
to discuss them. We should take a lesson
from the Cubans and discuss the negro
question with closed doors in our conven-
ton
1.-The silent progress we are making is
very encouraging"

tains bordering the sea we did not wonder
at the governors request. There is no
level land. The mountainside is furrowed
with gorges thousands OF feet I'm depth,
with slopes 30 steep that they were WELL
nigh inaccessible. Yet hamlets dotted the
surface I'm the most impossible situations,
and cultivated fields met our eyes on slopes
SO steep that one could hardly climb them
on his hands and knees, and this without
any terracing. We advised the governor
to encourage the planting OF evergreen
trees over the uncultivated areas to set
out hazelnut and blackberry bushes on the
sleeper cultivated slopes (hazelnuts are al.
ready staple article of export, agere-
eating more than any other one thingo.
and to terrace the mountainside so as TO
prevent all the fine soil from being washed
away.
But, to return to the Armenians, 1T is inn
portant to remember that they are no long,
er a nation They have no local habita-
ton. They are scattered far and wide In
eastern Turkey, and are large element
In the Russian province of the Caucasus
An Independent Armenia is a dream that
ought not to be thought OF In ones walk
ing hours. Under a Christian government
like Russia, however, the people would
have the hope OF development along the
lines Of their past noble history. Russia
Is the natural protector OF the large Chris
tian population of eastern Asia Minor.
When the jealoustes Of the other European
powers permit her to exert this protection
there will be no more Armenian massa-
cres.

before the Christian era Greeks colonized
these shores, but never penetrated far in
land. Their descendants are still here.
and preserve both the language and the
physical peculiarities Of their celebrated
ancestors. The Greeks, Armenians and
tory, are as separate from each other as
oil and water. They rarely intermarry,
They each have their own language, their
own schools and their own religious insti-
tutions. OF the three races the Arme,
mans have by far the largest intellectual
capacity. They are the principal ner-
chants and business men of the region.
Their opportunities for development. how
whereas in Russia there are more than
1000 600 in the vicinity of the Caucasus.
The minister >of education for the whole
Russian empire is an Armenian. The
richest OIL operator at Baku. almost equal
to Rockefeller in America, is an Armenian.
But in the present strained relations be-
tween Turkey and Russia the Armenians
are between the devil and the deep sea.
Russia's Prohibition.
Russia will not allow any more to come
into her territory from Turkey, and Tur-
key will not allow those already there to
come back. even to Join their own families
The shadow of the horrible massacres Of
the Armenians by the Turks still hangs
heavy over this whole region The slaugh-
ter began in Trebizond five years ago.
when 400 inoffensive citizens were shot
down in cold blood and in open daylight
Massacre after massacre followed through
out the empire. until fully 1a0,000 were
slain There were, it is true, some extenu-
ating circumstances in the fact that a Sc
cret society Of visionary Armenians was
plotting the overthrow of the sultan's pow
err Their revolutionary efforts aroused
both the fears and the religious passions
Of the Turks. In the result 1t was the
innocent who, for the most part, suffered
the penalty. In Trebizond two young Ar
menians attempted to assassinate prom
inent Turkish Official, and then took refuge
among their own people. The Turks held
all the Armenians responsible, and hence
the massacre. Probably the axsassins were
not sheltered BY their eountrymen. but the
