NEW YORK. December 2s.-Maj.. e. s..
Turner, president of the Anderson Auc-
ton Company, which sold the Milton BIZ
BILE for William H. BuckIer Of Baltimore

terday that he had received an offer for
the Bible of s1,225, the price at which 1t
was knocked down to Mr.. Richmond, and
that he had declined the offer.

declined the offer was that the Bible, al

ARMENIAN FAMINE.
Reports Show That Conditions Are
Growing Worse.

BOSTON, December 2s.-Additional ad-
vices from eastern Turkey and Armenia,
received today by the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions, in
dictate that the famine already reported
is more severe than was first anticipated,
and the tide of emigration to this country
was never so strong as at present.
Secretary Harry Wade Hicks writes
from Harpoot that upon returning to that
city recently he met hundreds Of Arabs
and Armenians going in the direction Of
SAMSON, and eventually to America. All
these persons were young or middle aged,
able-b bodied men. representing the strong
est element of the population in that
country. and sufficiently we'll off to make
the necessary gift to leave Turkey and
pay their passage to America. 1t is es-
timated that 1900 families have left the
vicinity of Harpoot since last April, and
the tide of emigration is continually
rising.
