UNREST IN ARMENIA.
Feared That the Turks Will Resume
Their Bloody Work.

London, Nov. ga serious state
of unrest continues in Armenia where
killing and looting prevails according
to a letter received in London by the
Bible Lands Missionary Aid society
from DR.. Reynolds of h American
board of foreign missions. Writing
from Van, October 26, DR.. Reynolds
says:
Both the political and economical
conditions are very unsatisfactory.
Poverty has greatly increased. BUSH
ness is pretty much at a
and to crown all the revolutionists are
so much in evidence the people are in
constant fear lest another massacre
be precipitated. At the beginning of
September Van was brought to the
very verge of massacre and more
recently an important village has been
looted and burned with twenty or
more persons killed. So o see the
prospects for the winter are far from
bright"
The latest mails bring communica-
ions to the Bible Lands society from
missionaries in Macedonia confirming
the reports of distress there.
Conflicts Among Christians.
London, Nov. 22.-The Standard to-
day prints a long letter from Constan-
tinople dealing with the situation in
Macedonia. The writer SayS there has
been a. remarkable change in the last
six months. Formerly it was a Ques-
ton of protecting the Christian popu-
lation gains violence but now it has
become one OF the Intervention be-
tween various Christian elements.
Since the policing of Macedonia has
been taken out of Turkeys hands, h
correspondent says there have been
recurring conflicts between rival ma
tionalities, Bulgars, Serbs and Greeks,
accompanied by barbarities quite as
bad as those with which the Turks
were formerly r~eproached. The truth
is, according to the Standard CORE
spondent, each of these Christian ele-
ments wants independence and their
hatred of each other exceeds their de-
testation of the Turks. The Austro-
Russian refrom scheme, therefore, has
not fastened the solution of the Mace
donia problem or brought autonomy
any carer.

NEW RULES ARE IN EFFECT.
Employss Must Make Oath Before
Drawing Government Salary.

July l the new fiscal year begun
with the government departments
aud the federal ofiicials In the Indian
Territory were placed under new set
Of rules, many OF which are radically
different from the old ones, One Of
the principal rules provides that be-
fore any employe can draw his salary
he must make an oath to the effect
that me is not a member Of any cor
poration or organization Of any sort
which is dealing In Indian lands, and
that he is not speculatiug In lands
himself.
The provision that each month viii
be considered to have thirty days Is
rather pleasing to the government
employees. For February they Will
get as much pay as for any other
month, and II anyone should fan TO
work on the last day OF any month
containing thirty-one days, there
seems to be no provision whereby he
could be ''docked."

instructed by the Interior department
10 investigate the situation IN the

provemcnts made by intruders. by
act uf congress passed IN 1886, Chero-
kee nation was directed TO set apart
s6s. 6f5.56, with which to pay for these
improvements. This act was sutse-
quently ratified by the tribal council
and a board Of appraisers was appoint
ed 10 enroll those who were entitled
to part Of the appropriation. The
boards report included ninety-one
names, aud IN November lsa5, the pay.
ment was begun. OF these included
in the report, forty.nine accepted
their awards, the total Of which
amounted to s3e,5ll.90. There were,
however, forty-two who refused 70 ac.
cept the amount offered them, and
thus s2a, l03.46 remained unimbursed.
The matter thus dragged along un.

priation act By the last congress, when
authority to settle All debts Of the
Cherokee nation was given the secre-
tary Of the Interior. Under the Iirst
act, the payment could be made only

FULL VALUE
MUST Be PAID
BY Cherokee Citizens for Lots
In Small Towns, Says the
Attorney General.

The attorney general OF the United
States has made an important ruling
with reference TO the appraisement
and purchase Of town lots In Cherokee
towns OF less than 200 population at
the time of the ratification Of the
Cherokee treaty on November II, 1902.
Cherokee citizens in such towns
must, according to this recent decis-
ion, pay the full appraisement Galong
with those who are not Cherokee citi-
zens.
The ruling also embraces important
items with reference TO intermarried
citizens. Pending the decision OF the
court OF claims lots belonging TO In
termarried citizens may be withheld
from the schedule on the request OF
such citizen, otherwise one hundred
per cent Of the appralsement viii be
required.
Heretofore, IN the larger towns, the
lots have been scheduled and appraised
to intermarried citizens on the same
conditions as to other Cherokee citl-
zens. Many deeds have been issued
TO lntermarried Cherokee citizens on
payment OF twenty-five per cent OF
the valuation.
The section bearing upon this prop
osition Is as follows:

II Is the old, old story, that has been

Of James Stokes, . Cherokee citizen,
whose remains were In Fl Gibson last

where deceased once lived. lie had
been on a protracted drunk &C Table
quah, where he had been 20 file on his

proved 20 be his last dose.
The deceased was formerly an intel
ligent and well-to-de man, who had q
good home, wife and family. all Of
which he sacrificed for strong drink.
Unable longert to live with him, about
q rear or more since, his wife left
him, since which time he had given
himself over to the destroying demon,
which inally brought him 70 entire
destruction
There was a time when this man

himself that he could take = drink on

came when he could not let Il alone,
