every appearance of being of n politi-
cal character. and has been preceded
by the assassinations of other officials
of branches of the same society on the
continent. These crimes are believed

use in freeing Armenia, had disappear
ed. Immediately Young Armenia, the
Boston organ of the Armenian revolu-
tionary party began calling for an ex-

| ton and the adherents displayed a

ferences have assumed hostile proper
