The only clues to the man in possession of the authorities are a felt hat and silver plated revolver, both made in New York, which he dropped in his flight.
 The murdered man, who was a min Ing engineer, became wealthy in the Caucasus and devoted his money to tho Armenian cause. His society was entirely passive and opposed to vio- lence and 1t is thought this attitude inspired the advanced section of the Armenians with the desire for ven geance, the latter claiming that Sa- gouni's society devoted funds to char Ity which would have been better ap' piled to violent remedies for the Ar menian grievances.

MORMON CHURCH IS IN IT
Thought Sweeping investigation Of Its
"-actices May Be Had During the
Case Of Senator Smoot.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, Dec. 3o.--Senator Bur-
on privileges and elections, conducting the
investigation of charges against Senator
Reed Smoot OF Utah, said yesterday that
the committee would probably meet Satur-
day, January Q, to continue the inquiry.
Senator Burrows would make no fore
cast of the proceedings All depended on
the nature of their response. Before going
to Salt Lake. Senator Smoot said he prob
ably would deny some Of the charges and
admit others, but nothing regarding his
course has been heard since the adj ourn-
ment of congress for the holidays.
II Mr.. Smoot's denial is such as to chal
lenge the authenticity Of the information
on which the accusations are based, it is
the opinion OF some of the members Of the
committee that the authors of the charges
will be given an opportunity to prove them,
and in that event there will be quite gen
cral investigation into the practices of the
Mormon church with reference both to
marriage and politics. The committee,
however, has reached no conclusion looking
to such course, and Chairman Burrows
declined to express any opinion as to its
probability.
If Senator Smoot should admit the
charges as whole, which is not considered
probable there would then be nothing left
for the committee but to consider the legal
aspect of the case and decide whether the
facts alleged, even if true, disqualify a
man for a seat in the senate.

Boston, Dee. 3o.-Ihe o3d annual report
Of the American Board Of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions, which was made
public today, is largely review of the
work which missionaries in foreign coun-

have maintained neutral attitude, not
taking part iii the political agitations
either in Macedonia or Bulgaria.
The past year at Saonica, in Macedonia,
has been the most trying period in the
history of that station. The success Of
the missionary work was largely prevented
by the lawlcssncss and anarchy prevailing
throughout the region.
The total contributions to the American
