THE Frankfort Zeitung sounds
warning to the entire civilized world
that another massacre OF Armenians
throughout entire Turkey Is mml-
nent. The contemplated slaughter,
It declares, will surpass that which
occurred in 1896. According to In
formation received by the newspaper
the Turkish ministers of war and OF
the interior summoned Armenian pa
triots to the yildiz vioska, or palace
of the sultan at Constantinople ana
told them that the sultan had re-
solved to give orders for general
massacre of Armenians unless the
Armenian revolutionary agitation Is
stopped at once. Foreign amoassa-
dors at Constantinople are showing
far less sympathy with the Armen-

are doomed unless public opinion Is
so vigorously expressed that 1t will
intimidate the sultan from carrying
out his plans for the massacre.

- Washington, September 3: For
the month of September, the total
receipts Of the government were $780,
25l,158 and the total expenditures
$4l,359,00O, showing a surplus for
the month of $9.S92,15S. For the
same month Of the last fiscal year
the total receipts were $46.344,6S3,
and the expenditures $40.44S,000, a
surplus Of $5,S96,6S3. The eXpendi-
lures this month were considerably
in excess of the same month last
year, but the receipts have been, as
seen, much heavier. There has been
a formidable increase in receipts
from customs ever since the begin
ming of the present fiscal year. The
total receipts for this month from
that source were s27244.146, against
$23.230,36O last year. an increase in
round numbers, of $4.0O0.0o0. The
customs receipts in the month just
closed were the largest for that
month In the history of the govern
ment. The internal revenue receipts
this month were $19.797,6S0 as COM
pared with $19,94f,123 a year ago.
From miscellaneous sources the total
was $2,209,332, compared with 49,
1888. Should the country con-
tinue to buy heavily Of dutiable goods
from abroad the opinion is that the
deficit for this fiscal year will not
be as large as the last in expendi-
lures over the last year. The total
receipts so far this fiscal year have
been $l47.14O,734. as compared with
