Beirut, april 25.-The situation IN
Asiatic turkey Is one of extreme
gravity. How many thousands have
been massacred can not be estimated
the disturbance having been so uide-
spread. Latest estimates place the
number of killed in Adana at approxi-
mately $4,000 and thousands have
been done to death in the towns of
other districts. The state of seige
which several of the places are nm
dergoing has brought the inhabitants
to the verge of starvation.
Several warships are In these wa
ters, but the disorders are so far
reaching that the efforts of the DOW
ers to restore normal conditions have
as yet hardly been felt. The French
cruiser Jules Ferry arrived here to-
day, and left for Balkia, where
swarms Of refugees are pouring in.
British, French and German warships
are at other ports, and marines have
been landed to quell disorders as far
as possible at the more important
points.

dretta, Mr.. Kennedy, with 45O Tur-
kish troops, has gone to the relief Of
Deurtynl, an Armenian village on the

GLE SAID TO HAVE CLASSIFIED.
Friction Between Head OF Depart

Washington. April 24.-The almost
certain resignation of Director s. N.
ID. North, of the census bureau, dur
ing the next few days is the result OF
difficulties between himself and secre-
tary Nagel. of the department of COM
merce and labor. is just the beginning.
1t Is believed, Of one of the most
through departmental Investigations
that has ever been undertaken.
For d long time there have been
mutterings that in many Of the de-
partments the most open frauds were
allowed to be perpetrated by placing
on the Government rolls the names
OF many members of the same family
when this was forbidden, and carry
Ing on the rolls names of persons
who performed scarcely any work
worth mentioning. Only last week
Senator'S Bailey. McCumber, and
others instanced on the floor of the
Senate cases Of this kind and declar-
ed that fraud was being worked on
the Government, both In the placing
OF the names Of these people on the
roofs and In keeping them there to
the exclusion Of others to whom the
places rightfully belonged.
The disclosures in the North case
will. 1t Is believed. be only the open
ing wedge to an investigation that
will lead into every department in
Washington.
From time to time Senators and
Representatives have asked for in
formation ~ different kinds and have
also iptroduced resolutions with but
Indifferent results. There is to be-
apparently-a showdown as to
whether the Government departments
arc being operated for the chiefs and
heads OF the bureaus for political rea-
sons or In the interest of the people
anu in a fair and uunprejuiiced MY !.
s 1t is believed that the Senate will
take up the matter when It meets
Monday. though 1t is impossible at
this time to say with certainty who
will take the initiative or along wha.
lines 1t will be directed outside of the
census and civil service bureaus.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
BREAKING UP OF WHEAT CORN.
Err HAS GOOD EFFECT.
demand for Securities is Renewed
And the Price Movement Turns
Upward Again, Despite Technical
Disadvantages in the Stock Market.

New York, April 25.-Develop-
ments in the outlook last week were
regarded as favorable from a financial
standpoint. The effect was to stimu-
late renewed demand for securities
sufficient to outweigh the disadvan-
tages IN the technical disposition in
the stock market, and to turn the
price movement upwards again. The
disadvantage In the technical position
lay In the extent to which the rise in
prices had been carried, the large in
crease In the long account, and the
disposition to close it ou. at the prof
Its accrued. This caused a wavering
OF prices during part Of the week. The
most potent factor in bringing specu-
lative sentiment out Of this state of
hesitation was the improved grain
crop advices and practical breaking
down OF the short-lived corner in
wheat.
Moreover news from the wheat
fields was so encouraging as to dissi-
pate the incipient crop scare, which
hung over The financial markets the
week before
Evidences multiplied of the expan.
sion Of business in the iron and steel
trade. Chairman Gray informed the
United States Steel stockholders that
their business had been restored to
about the volume Of the December
sale. Reports fromthe copper trade
also indicated a rate of increase in
the demand for refined copper. in
Guiding a large export. Reports of
the growth of the general merchan-
disc movement and Of the increase Of
railroad traffic were more conserva-
tive. In the coal trade, the feature
was the further conferences for a set
tlement of the anthacite mining wages
and the growing confidence that an
greeement was in sight.
The money market gave evidence
That the perfod Of plethoric condi-
tons was coming to an end. Rates
for call loans were higher and the
tone of the time loan braAch was
firmer in accordance with this sys-
tenn. Cash is coming to New York
still from the interior, but the outgo
OF gold has been on scale sufficient
to keep the net gain down. The loan
account Of the banks continued to ex-
pand with the underwriting of new
railroad bond issues. The bond mar
ket enjoyed sudden revival, after
subsidence of activity early in the
week. which brought the volume of
sales on Thursday to par value of
upwards Of $4,000, 900, a market sell
dom exceeded in breadth and activity.

KENNEWICK EIGHTH GRADERS
WIN HIGHEST MARKS

The Kennewick schools made a
very fine record in the recent eighth
grade examinations for diplomas
conducted by the state department
of education. IOut of the twenty
taking the examination thirteen
passed and the three having the
highest grades led the schools of the
county. Miss Frances Olbrich
ranked first in the examination,
May Pitman, second and Ellis Dor
othy third. The next in rank was
Clyde Stewart of Prosser, whose
grades were the highest of the Pros
ser pupils taking the examination.
Seventy-six pupils from the various
schools of the county took the ex-
animation, which was considered a
difficult test by those who exam
ined the papers.
