since the outbreak of the anti-Christian
rioting at 5000, The missionary ssiG today:
"A conservative estimate of the Chris
tians killed in the city of Adana is 5000.
This calculation is made up from the lists
prepared by the priests and other officials
who give permits for burials. Not less
than 1000 persisted in the towns and viii
lagos of the province, This figure is based
upon the fun information sent forward by
the British consul.
THE surviving Armenians in the entire
province are largely women and children.
They amount to about %. 200 souls, and are
today without homes, shops, tools, clothing
or bread. A most pitiable and wretched
multitude Is passing up and down the
streets of Adana like a lost people. They

OF flour is given out by the relief COM

and children are coming In from the coun-

BEIRUT, Aslatic Turkey, May 6.-The
situation at suadis. where a number Of
Armenians nave been msssacred, has been
relieved as a result Of the presence and
exertions of the captain Of the British bat
tleship Triumph and the British consul at
Alexsndretta, who went down the coast on
board the Triumph.
The two officials visited Galadoran and
Kessab and found these towns indescrib-
able charnel houses. There are more than
1000 helpless and destitute women in a
village on the sea coast near Kessah.

DEMANDS NEW
TARIFF BILL
CONTINUED from First Pase.)

Mr.. DolliveT, in his attacks Upon the pend
ing tariff bill, Senetor Cummins turned to
Mr.. Aldrich and said that the man who
challenged the republicanism Of senators
because they seek to revise the schedules
OF duties forty years old, was taking a
most remarkable course.
Have we arrived at that slavish state
OF public opinion" he asked, Tin which
1t becomes a question OF political fealty to
insist upon the correctness OF schedules
made forty years ago when we consider
them in relation to conditions existing to-
day?"
Senator Beveridge Joined Mr.. Cummins
In asking from the committee on finance
an explanation of the fact that the duty
on oil cloths had been doubled by making
II apply to narrow widths.
Mr.. Flint OF the committee replied that
the answer would be made in due time and
added that If members of the finance com
mlttee had the ability OF the senators
from Indiana they would give the answer
off-hand."
Mr.. Smoot explained that the oil cloth
duty had been put up to protect the Ameri-
can producers but before he had concluded
was interrupted by Mr.. Cummins. who said
he did not care to give way for a speech.
As the senator from Utah resumed his
seat Mr.. Burrows, rising in his place and
speaking in low tones, deliberately said he
did not think the senator from Iowa had
been quite courteous to the senator from
Utah.
Disavowing any intention TO be discour-
teous, Mr.. Cummins returned to the con-
troversy, saying he was not satisfied
with Mr.. Shoots explanation. He wanted
something less threadbare. He wanted to
protect the home manufacture but he
wanted to knOT why these duties had
been raised.
