United States Trying to

WITH OTHER POWERS
Secretary Hay Dealing
With England and
France.

Washington. July 12.-Powerful po-
litical influence is being exerted by
American missionary societies in sup
port of the appeal cabled to the state
department ten days ago by the Ar
menian bishop in Persia, in which this
country was asked to interfere to pre-
vent the further massacre of Armen-
ians by Turkish barbarianS. and the
president and Secretary Hay have
yielded to it. Mr.. Hay has already
acted and further steps are contem-
plated.
Facts Are Guarded.
The facts are most carefully guard
ed at the state department. 1t had
been planned, it is said, at the proper
time and place, for some cabinet mem
ber in a speech to tell the whole story
for the first time of how the United
States stepped in and put a stop TO
the butchery of the Armenians. New
York City was selected as the place
and late in September or early in Oc-
tober the time
Mr.. Hay is not dealing directly with
Turkey in his manipulationS of diplo-
macy, and he expects to accomplish
the desired end without going that far
By the treaty which closed the Turco-
Russian war the signatory powers,
which include England, France, Ger
many. Austria and Italy, virtually
guaranteed the sections of the treaty
which protect the rights of native and
foreign Christians in Turkey.
England Has Complied.
England has alreaGy complied with
Mr.. Hays request. which was submit
ted through Ambassador Choate, and
has served notice on the sultan that
the atrocities must stop. France,
which always moves more slowly, is
expected to make similar representa-
ions in a few days.

STORY BACK OF
PARKER MESSAGE
Extraordinary Precautions Taken to
Insure Its Accuracy
and Secrecy.

New York, July 12.-It Is now
known that Judge Parkers telegram
to Mr.. Sheehan was sent from the
Western Union office at Esopus, and
the story Of the precautions taken
both to keep it secret and to veEify
its authenticity before it was delivered
constitute a remarkable chapter in the
story of this extraordinary political in
cident.
Judge Parkcrs coachman. Robinson,
took the original message to the West
Shore station at Esopus at 1870
o'clock Saturday, and delivered it to
the Western Union operator with i'm
pressive caution as TO secrecy.
It was addressed to William Shee-
han. Very soon after it had been
sent. the superintendent of the West
ern Union Telegraph company of New
York called up the Esopus agent and
required him to personally verify the
original telegram by a visit to Judge
Parker himself
The delivery of the message in st.
Louis, it appears. was being delayed
until the authenticity of the dispatch
could be proven beyond question.

is NOT FIRST TIME.
Judqe Parker Has Taken Stand on
the Financial Cues
ton.
ISSUE WAS RAISED IN NEW YORK
Made n STRAIGHTFORWARD Declaration
When Candidate for Court
of Appeals.

st. Louis. July 12.-According to
Congressman John Wesley Gaines, of
Tennessee, Judge Parker's telegram to
the national democratic convention
Saturday relative to the money plank
in the platform is not the first time
that the democratic nominee has made
stand as to his views on the money
question. During the campaign when
he was a candidate for judge of the
New York court of appeals and the
question was raised as to his party
record, he said:
q will write a letter for publica-
ton, on one condition. stating l voted
for Bryan, but it must be published in
the press, because the gold committee
meets soon to indorse me for the judg-
ship nomination. l want the commit
tee to know beforehand how l voted in
1896. I won't sail under false colors.' -
Tells of Incident.
In speaking of the incident Con-
gressman Gaines said:
THE letter was then and there writ
ten to Elliott Danforth. who was
among the inquisitOrs. He gave the
letter, as he told me, to the New York
Press. This Judge Parker also told
me. Mr.. Danforth in Washington re-
Gently told me he had this letter in
his possession. This is its text omit
ting the address, the date, Sept. ,,
1897:
My Dear Danforth: 1t was entire
ly right for you to bring to my atten-
tion a question which the sincere
friends of Mr.. Bryan are pressing upon
you. l can frankly and sincerely say
to you that l voted for the last ma
tional nominees of the democratic
party, as l have voted for all the reg
ular democratic nominees since I had
a vote.
"The gold committee next day met
and indOrsed Judge Parker. 70 me
Judge Parker said, as | recall: Sew
eral members of this committee met
me afterwards and asked why l didn
wait until they had indorsed me before
publishing the letter. told them
wanted them to know the fact before
they acted
Judge Parker's telegram to Mr.
Sheehan was prompted by the same
manly. frank spirit which impelled the
Elliott Danforth letter.
Always Party Man.
Parker, we all know, was and is
gold man-but always a party man.
The original st. Louis platform was
silent on this question. Many sup
ported and will support Parker be-
cause he is and has been and will be
a gold man. Others have supported
him knowing that the money question
is not party issue in this campaign,
full as it is of other vital issues
His gold supporters might suspect
Parker of wavering in his gold views

MARRIED HIS WARD
Senator Clark, Montana Millionaire,
Was Welded in France Three
Years Ago.
FACTS JUST BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Interesting Romance. About Which
There Have Been Many
RumOrs AfOat.

New York, July 12.-Senator w. A
Clark of Montana, last night made
public the fact that he had married
his ward Miss Anne Z. La Chappelle
in Marseilles, France, May 25, 1901
Following the formal announcement
by the senator himself came the fact
that there is a little daughter in
France who is now about years old.
The announcement adds another
chapter to a romance that began about
nine years ago in the city of Butte
and in which the handsome child of
the western mining fields and the
many times millionaire United States
senator are the leading characters.
Tells His Daughters.
Senator Clark informed his daugh-
ters. Mrs. Clark Culver and Mrs. Lew
is Rutherford Morris, of his marriage
shortly after his arrival from Europe
on the Teutonic on June 80. He then
was on his way TO st. Louis to take
part in the convention proceedings.
His daughters were much surprised
when their father made known the
secret he had kept so well for three
=
keen, because they never objected to
their father remarrying.
1t was while in one of the mining
towns where his interests lie that Sen
atOr Clark about nine years ago was
present when the miners and their
wives and families were enjoying a
Fourth of July celebration. There
were all manner of costumes worn by
young men and women, but that which
particularly caught the eye of Senator
Clark represented a goddess of liberty
1t was gracefully worn by a young
woman, probably 35 years his junior
Senator Clark made inquiries and
learned the goddess was impersonated
by Miss Anna E. La Chappelle.
Takes Girl As His Ward.
Senator Clark pursued his inquiries.
He learned that La Chappelle. the
father of the girl, was a French-Can-
adian physician who, with his wife
and family. had turned TO the United
States and its western fields for a
livelihood. La Chappelle died sudden.
ly in Chicago and soon after this Sen
ator Clark decided to extend financial
assistance to the family, not for Anna
La Chappelle alone, but for her wild
owed mother and children. He was
introduced to Mrs. La Chappelle and
thus met her children. He recognized
Anna as a girl endowed with unusual
intelligence.
Senator Clark made the girl his
ward and soon after this provided her
with opportunities for such tuition as
he considered she should have. 1t be
gan in seminaries in this country and
finished in schools abroad and in eX-
tensive travel.
Mrs Clark is at present in Paris.

because of the omission on the sub
ject by our platform. To remove this
suspicion, to show that he had nothing
to do with framing the platform on
this point, to make himself fully known
to all men, and particularly to the con-
vention before it's deliberations were
finished. he felt it his duty to send
the telegram to Sheehan.
1T stamps him manly, honest. frank
and open. a man who would rather
maintain his good name and preserve
his own peace of conscience than be
president of the United States, how
ever alluring the party honor and how
ever tempting the political opportun-
ity.
Il believe we have a ticket that will
win. Former Senator Davis is a south
ern man. He is a self-made man at
the head of large affairs. When a
number of Judge Parker's friends
sought a southern man for the second
place on the ticket, it was not unnat-
ural that such a man as Henry G.. Da.
Wis should be decided upon. His nom
ination assures the return of West
Virginia to the democratic column of
states, along with the gain of most of
the congressional districts"
