 We'll. it's as natural for Stanton to drop into poetry as 1t is for him to sing about the good things of life. It is also natural that he should at times grow reminiscent and chortle of the happy days of the past.

 It did not occur to The Ledger to say anything about the fact that The Montgomery Advertiser got out regu- iarly and well during the flood. We are so accustomed to assuming that The Advertiser will come to time that We took 1t as a matter of course If The Advertiser had failed to print. or had printed four pages, we would have been shocked into realization of the disaster.

AMERICAN MISSIONARIES
MAY HAVE BEEN SLAIN

Constantinople, April I9.-The Mos
lem fanaticism against the Christians
of Adana appears to AVE broken out
afresh. The Moslem attacks were COM
menced yesterday again and continued
throughout he night. Large numbers
of Christians are said to have been
Killed. Ono report says that 60 Arme-l
mans have lost their lives and that
many ouses have been looted and
burned.
Their is no confirmation Of the death
of the two American missionaries!
Their names are not given in the dis
patch received here. The British vice
consul at Mersina has proceeded to
Adana.
The first news of this anti Christian
outbreak said the scene was Mersina,
but this was erroneous. The trouble
occurred at Adana, which Is about 36
miles inland from Mersina. The early
reports were declared to have been ex5
aggerated and messages received here
yesterday evening said that only 10
.Armenians had been killed, that martial
law had been proclaimed at Adana and
that achievements OF troops were be-
ing sent in from Beirut. This latest
intelligence refers to disorders that
took place after the situation was sup
posed to have quoted down.
News Hard to Get.
Ambassador Leishnan has had no d.
rect news of the reported killing of the
two American missionaries. He has in-
.structed the American vice consul at
Mersina, John Debbas, to proceed i'm
mediately to Adana and report on the
situation. Railroad communication be-
tween Mersina and Adana appears to
be interrupted. The Bible house Is also
without direct information. The Mis-
sionaries Of the district are at present
at Dana for the regular district meet
Chambers, the Misses Webb, Miss Wal
lace and Miss Borel. Mr.. Christy Is at
Tarsus. Mrs. Chambers Ia a sister of
Talcott Williams, editor Of the Phila-
delphia Press. The government has
given that 1t is doing Its
best to restore order at Adana and to
protect foreigners additional troops are
being sent in.
Denial at London.
London, April 19.-The admiralty to-
day issued a denial to the report en-
anating from Vienna Of a Joint naya
demonstration at C~onstantinople. Nc
British squadron has been ordered tc
leave Malta for the Bosphorus, as had
been said, nor a information reached
the admiralty Of the intention OF
Franc or Austria Hungary to SEND
ships to Turkish waters.
Troops to Capital.
Saloniki, April ia battalion o.
troops left here by train last night 70,
the capital. Another departed today
and others are preparing to leave.
Adana is a station OF the American board
OF commissioners for foreign mission!
with a working force Of five missionarie;
and 80 native workers: an out-station O.

church IN North America and a bible de
pot and of the American bibl,
society.
