ARMENIANs
ARE ACTIVE I
Revolutionary Bands, Coming from
Russia, Invade Districts Of
Bayazid and sassoun.
Possible Complications in Macedonia
Are Expected to Help the
Armenian Cause.
The Russian Government Is Said to
Regard the Move With
Conlplacency.

sConstantinople, May 16.-The Turkish
authorities are disquieted at the recent
appearance Of bands of Armenian reyolu-
tionists coming from Russia, in the dis
tricts of Bayazid and Sassoun, Armenia.
and are adopting rigorous measures to
guard the frontier. The Armenians cross
in small parties in the neighborhood Of
Bayazid and thence they make their way
to the Sasun mountains, where they are
safe from pursuit. It is alleged here that
the Russian authorities of Kars, Asiatic
Russia, are aware of the movement Of the
Armenian revolutionists. but that they do
not intend to interfere.
It Is believed that the appearance OF
these bands indicates a revival of activity
on the part of the old Armenian commit
tees, which are understood to be anxious
to be In position to take advantage OF
possible complications arising from the
Macedonian situation, in which case the
claims of the Armenians will be revived
and the same advantages gained by the
Mecedonians from European Intervention
will be demanded for Armenia.
The Turkish government has notified
the Bulgarian exarch that Gerassimos,
bishop of Strumitza Macedonia, has been
removed and has invited the exarch to
appoint his successor. The exarch. how
ever, refuses to recognize the authority
of the Turkish government to remove the
bishop and has advised Gerassimos, who
is practically prisoner In his own house,
to remain firm. 1t is alleged that Bishop
Gerassimos Is a supporter Of the Macedo-
Man movement. but 1t Is also sta ted that
the charges are brought by the jealous
Greek clergy. The prisons Of Macedonia
are overlooking with Bulgarians, the Turk
ish authorities hoping to thereby paralyze
the action of the Macedonian committees.
1t was announced to-day that the Turk
ish troops entered Ipek. Albania, yester.
day and not May 8, as previously an.
nounced, after meeting with strong oppo
sition. Severe fighting occurred at the
villages of Peretsth, Sfakiana and Bahair
Artillery was employed and these villages
were destroyed. Thirty Albanians wer'
killed and many were wounded.

virtues are written on the tablets OF
time. Let US write his faults upon the
sand. The desire Of thousands who have
known his generous heart that he receive
merciful sentence should govern rather
than the mistaken view Of the few who
may urge severity, but whose Judgment
is hasty and ill considered
1T may be mentioned that the county
attorney in his closing words to the jury
said that the penalty in this case might
be fine In the discretion Of the court,
and this should be taken into considera-
ton with their recommendation OF
leniency. Considering the age and failing
health Of this old man, imprisonment IN
the penitentiary is likely to prove fatal.
y 1.-THE vindication Of the city is complete.
the public will be fully satisfied without g
severe punishment. Is It not humane!
Is it not more in accord with the
charitable spirit of our age to deal merci-s
fully with this defendant? Would It not
be.a vindication of the ctty's honor? The
conviction itself with a fine would carry
with it a more terrible punishment than
q term of years in most criminal cases.
This case has been surrounded by unusual
circumstances and the punishment cannot.
be determined with reference to other.
cases and other defenses.
1.-The vindication Of the city is complete
and now leave my client in your honor's-
hands. I have spoken with such feeling
as know your honor will pardon. Courts
will err If an error is committed in this
case, will it not be better to err on the
side of mercy than on the side OF
severity"
Court Passes Sentence.
| At the conclusion Of this address Judge
Elliott said:
In cases Of this kind the law gives to
/; the court a certain discretion as to the
| punishment to be imposed. This means q,
Judicial discretion to be controlled by the
j nature Of the crime and the circumstance
4 under which it was committed. It does
not mean that this discretion may prop
erly be controlled by personal considera-
i lions, nor does it justify the court In tak-
ling into consideration the previous high
standing and general condition of the der
4 fendant. The jury determined the fact
I of guilt, and in this case they have passed
upon the mental capacity of the defendant
to commit the crime of which he has
j been convicted. i have therefore nothing
q to do but ito impose sentence upon this
s. defendant as Iwould impose it upon any
\ other man who stands convicted by the
: jury Of the same crime. Much that has
!; been said In favorEof leniency Should more
!. properly be directed to that department.

chivalry which has been lying dormant

Acceptances are falling in upon the
baron like snowflakes in midwinter and
chilled with remorse for his thoughtless
story, he stays in his apartments and re-
fuses to be comforted. The bloodthirsty
combatants, however, insist on the rights
of the party challenged in the choice Of
weapons, and, with one accord, they select
natures weapons and Marquis of Queens
berry rules.
The baron has decided that some one
has been tri1ine; with him, and remarked
sadly to-day that he was the victim Of a
hoax, which he believed would cause him
no end Of annoyance when his friends in
Europe heard Of 1t. He is making q tour
of America, he says for pleasure, but
finds no fun in the Milwaukee experience.
Mrs. Lonstorff insane.
Mrs. Emma Lonstorf has been COM
mitted to the county insane hospital. Her
husband, heir to the Lonstorf millions,
abandoned her and the wife said this was
done at the instigation of her mother lin
law. She sued Mrs. Margaret Lonstory
for 100000 for the alienation of her hus-
bands affections. Later she was COM
mitted as insane and then released. Otto
Lonstorf the husband, is with his mother
in Europe.

Mr.. SchWab's Address.
II doubt If any man or woman here
can appreciate how deeply this demon
stration goes into my heart, or what a
lasting impression it will make. verify
believe that no honor can come to any
man that will give him more genuine
pleasure and satisfaction than to know
that the people with whom he was SO long
associated and from whom he has been
more or less separated, still retain their
love and affection for him. I want no
prouder epitaph than to have it truly said
that the working people with whom he
worked loved and honored him.
IT never say the men who worked for
me-; the men Of Homestead always
worked with me- What an answer to
theorists who say that men and employers
are not in sympathy. Homestead has seen
troubles in this respect. Thank God, they
are fast being forgotten, and it was my
proud privilege eleven years ago to con-
tribute much toward bringing about that
happy relation which now exists, and,
hope, always will exist.
Ten years ago I sent for Mr.. West
and some other directors Of this town and
explained my ideas Of an industrial school
for this great Industrial center. They re-
ceived the ideas enthusiastically and we
started, as you know, in a small way.
Thanks to the energy Of the succeeding
school boards, the institution rapidly grew
! in favor until this new building was nee
essary, and It was my happy privilege to
supply it. / believe that from such

and captains Of industry for the future
and the future will place the successful
captain Of industry on a higher niche OF
fame than ever before.

that work to boy and girl is ennobltng

We hope that many young people will here

Pacific road in an address yesterday

cation is now graded from Kirkella to
Neudorf and the track is laid for part of
the distance The laying of the rails will

Another important extension will be the

distance of forty or fifty miles. The
whole will mean an addition of about ESQ

Six years at hard labor in the state
penitentiary!
That is the sentence pronounced by
Judge G. b. Elliott this morning upon DR..
"A. A. Ames in vindication of civic honor
of Minneapolis.
Former Mayor Ames has reaped the
whirlwind which he sowed. The man
who was once almost the idol Of the
people Of Minneapolis, who has been a,
factor in this city's life for years, who
has been candidate for congress, who
has been four times elected mayor and
now stands convicted of bribery by a
jury Of his peers, is by the dictum Of
the court, sentenced to a felon's cell.
Despite the pressure brought to bear
upon him by DR.. Ames sympathizers,
Judge Elliott refused to recognize any
difference between him and the ordinary
prisoner standing at the bar Of justice.
All that now lies between the for
mer mayor and the penitentiary is an
appeal to the supreme court which Will
be urged with the same strenuousness
that has marked the other incidents of
the Ames defense.
Pending this appeal the convicted man
will be at liberty under SIS, 600 bond.

1t Is also understood that deeper reason

In view of the fact that Mr.. Washing

that disfranchisement in the south placed

acter and thrift, a large number of the
colored men who believe this to be against
their interests are anxious, 1t Is said. to
destroy Booker T. Washington's influence
in the convention.
It is probable that IL no amicable settle
ment Is reached the convention will divide
and hold two separate conventions--one OPP
posed to Booker Washington's ideas and
the other for them. The convention will be
in session until late this afternoon, and
probably there will be interesting develop
ments. The policemen have received in
structions to see that order Is maintained.
