The Recenf MasacreR.

London, May ll.-FurLher evidence
that the massscres 10 the AdaDa province
in Asiatic Turkey were pre-srrauged
and aided by the government through
out came to light today 10 the publica-
ton in the Evening News OF q letter
from q resident OF Mersipa. The letter
was written on April &c and was seut
from Smyrna. Among other things,
the writer says:
"The troops-on whom we relied for
safety--are acting like beasts. They
are committing the most sbominable
atrocities and are shooting the helpless
Christians who attempt to escape. There
is no doubt that the determination Of the
whole Armenian population Of the
province was preconcerted. The mas
sscres broke 10 a half dozen different
places almost simultaneously, and 10
every place the troops either actually
aided 10 the butchery or passively per-
mitted it. The only nstive Christians
In msny towns who escaped we're those
who fed early in the trouble to the
foreign missions. The Catholic and
American missions at Adams at one
time sheltered 10 900 Greeks and Ar
menians. In the burning OF the French
school at Adaua, which was temopo-
rsrily being used IS hospital, all the
patients persisted. The deaths in the
Adaus vilsyet alone will reach 10000,
including 5000 Greeks and 1000
Turks, the latter being the rioters"

THE TARIFF BILL.

The ability Of the republican majority
of the Senste to uphold the recommends.
ton Of the committee on finance on the
lead schedule, which contains the Ding
ley rates in the tariff bill in place OF the
lower duties fixed by theHOuse was fully
demonstrated yesterday when, by q
vote Of 50 to "A, the Senate declined to
reduce by one-quarter of a cent pound
the duty on pig lead as recommended by
the committee on finance. In this vote
IL republicans voted with the democrats
and two democrats Hughes Of Col
orado, snd McEn'ry, voted with
the republicans. By viva vcce
vote the Senate adopted the rate of
two and one-eighth cents a pound 90
pig lead, as recommended by the CON-
mitlee.
At the conclusion OF the session Chsir-
man Aldrich stated that he regarded the
vote as an endorsement of the action Of
the committee, aud he expressed conf
dence that sll the schedules Of the COM
millee would be upheld.

THE WEAVER PIANOS.

Are made to occupy prominent posi-
ton among the most distinguished
pianos now manufactured, 1t is bold
to claim place in this exalted
rank and to sustain such a claim re-
quires not only skillful mechanics aud
a musical temperament in those who
have to do With the tone OF the piano,
but the most strenuous watchtul care
of the manufacturers in every detail
of its construction. In short, every
man who is connected with the manu-
facture of such a piano must work with
his biaius as we'll as with his hands,
and both must be directed by a good
conscience. No expense dare be sp red
that will add to the musical or artistic
value of the instrument or to its dura-
bility. and no money must be wasted in
its construction or on useless attach
ments that do not enhance the value of
the piano.
A piano Of this character is too ex.
penslve for the promiscuous buyer and
must depend for its support upon the
intelligent. thoughtful and discrimi-
mating. II is the attention of such per-
sons that we shall seek through the
Columns Of this paper during the next
few months.

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY II. 1909.

THE city Of Roanoke is apparently going
IN have something from September II to
October l, which it proposes to regulate
40 far as it concerns its own laws. The
CITY Council has recently passed Its tax
and license Law for the year beginning
May l, 1909, and ending April 80,
1910. and that it is not easily carried Oh
lis feet by the will-of.the-wisp promises
of others-aud also that 1t can govern
itselfaud enforce its own laws-in order
to keep ont certain attractions has
added these words to Ito license law
which will operate for three weeks >
provided, however," 1t says, THAT
from the 18th to the Both Of September
inclusive, for the year 1909, the commits
sioner of revenue shall not for use during
such period issue any license here under,
except at the following rates" and then
the law names these, among others
"On every such circus, mensgerie or show
$500 for each day, during which it shall
exhibit, and 500 on each side show
whether attached to said circus, mensg
erie or show or not, and every dime
show under tent 500 for each day, aud
each parade of circus, mensgerie or
show 81, OOO." This is drawing the lines
of exclusiveness pretty close, but 1t was
not all, for the Council added this
"Ou every proprietor of a public or
private building kept or used exclusive
" for sny theatrical or similar perform
auce, panorama or public exhibition,
variety show or other entertainment
(whether any charge is made for sdmis-
slon or uoO $3.50 per year" If any
thing like this was presented In the
Alexandria council some people would
hold up their hands in holy horror, and
ask If we wanted to build fence around
the city. Well, it wss not only offered
in the City Council of Roanoke but tbst
body passed it and it is now the law In
that city.

IT IS said 10 Washington that prom
ineut republican leaders are worried over
the tariff situation, and are saying prl-
vately that the democrats will carry the
next House by a safe msjority. They
blame the tariff bill for the prospective
defeat. Senator Cullom is the only SEN
ator who has had the courage 80 far to
voice this fear 10 the open, but some OF
the shrewdest republican leaders Of the
House have left Washington to look ont
for their political fences at home. They
admit that they are alarmed over the
political outlook. But why should they
be? The democrats are as much d.
vided on the tariff question as are the
republicans and have had several chances
II defeat the bill now before Congress
bat failed to do so. Men protesting ard
calling themselves democrats and elected
to the House by strong democratic con-
stituencies, even five from Virginis,
voted against removing the tariff Cd
lumber and placing it on the free list.
These men should be left st home next
time aud sure enough democrats sent to
Congress In their stead.

Sixty-first Congress.
Washington, May 10.
SENATE.

lns'ead Of opening the proceedings to.
day with orstory the senate settled
down to real business. The question
before the Senate was the approval or
disapproval o. amendments made by the
fnauce committee to the Payne bill AZ
it csme from the House. The paragraphs
considered we're those which were held
up al the first reading Of the Aldhch
bill 10 the Senate.
Mr.. Aldrich asked that Paragraphs
81, white lead; So, whiting; SO, oxide Of
ziue; Sc, acetate Of white lead; aud 5S,
chromate of potash, be passed over for
future action.
A number OF Senate amendments in
most cases increasing the tariff rate over
The House bill were adopted.
There was halt and contest when
the Senate reached paragraph 81, which
places the duty Of 60 per cent on china,
pOrcelsiO, eartheD, stone and crockery
ware. This rate prevails 10 the Aldrich
snd Payne bills and the Diugley law.
Mr.. McLsurin (dem. Miss. suggested
that the users OF tarIhenware should not
be taxed as high as the useIs OF china
ware. Mr.. Bacon, Of Georgia, also
made the same criticism saying that The
esrthen, stone snd crOcFery ware were
used by the poorest people snd those In
moderate circumstances. Mr.. Beverage
said that many of these articles we're
very expensive and we're used by the
rich.
Mr.. Bacon then made an amendment
providing that the duty on eartheu
stone ard crockery ware should be 81
per cent instead Of so per cent as 10 the
bill.
Mr. Bacon's amendment was defeated
yeas %, nays 81 Mr.. Chamberlain wa
the only democrat who voted agains
the amendment and Mr.. LaFollette wal
the only republican who voted for it
The Senate agreed to the COMMITTEES
amendment on common yellow earthen
ware which makes a reduction 10 thu
House tariff bill. Mr.. Oummins O.
Iowa announced that he would late
offer an amendment tOseparate decorated
China and earthen-ware into two classes
The present rates, be was convinced
we're not high enough on china ware
or else the rate on earthen-wsre was toe
high aud he wanted these two article
