IN DEFENCE OF HUNCHAKISTS
Local Leaders Decry Linking Martu-
gessian's Name with Their Party.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The New York papers have lately
published news concerning the unfrocked
priest Martuge essian, who is spoken OF as
an active member of the Hunchakist party
thus condemning an honorable political
organization with a convicted criminal
Ever since the dastardly assassination OF
Tavshaniian. the Armenian merchant, the
American press and public have been
under the impression that the HUnchakist
party is made up of band of blackmailers
and assassins, whereas, on the contrary, 1t
is composed cf devoted patriots whose OBJ
ject has always been TO work for the re-
generation of the Armenian nation, in
spite of Oriental despotisln.
When, few years ago. a group of its
members, under the leadership of a GER
tain AFFAIR.". insisted on the adoption of a
policy of threats and even murder for the
raising of funds and the general success OF
its political plans, they were summary
expelled from the Hunchakist party, and
were thenceforth known as Alfarists. but
who called themselves the Reformed (Eers-
gazmiaD party.
1t was this group of AIfarists which was
responsible for the murder of TaVshanjian
and for several other so-called political
assassinations. The unfrocked priest, Mar
tugessian, who was In later years leading
member of this band Of blackmailiEg Grim
inals. had never belonged 70 the Huncha-
kist party. 1t would therefore be doing
great injustice to the Hunchakists by con-
siderng these hated Oriental Black Hand
ersr as members of our party.
The 4unchakists are to-day recognized
by the constitutional government of Turkey
as a legal social-democratic political or
ganization. For twenty-three years the
Hunchakists have been serving their coun-
try by sacrificing life and treasure, and,
now that the Ottoman government has a
constitution and parliament, the Huncha-
kists are working by all peaceful means
for the social and political regeneration of
the Armenians in Turkey.
These facts are well known to the promi-
nent ArnenianS in America, but, unfortu
nate1y. through a mistaken policy of keep
ing themselves in the background, they
seem to be afraid to come forward and
openly testify TO the vast difference be
tween the Hunchakist patriots and the
Alfarist tlaCkmailers.
Trusting that, In view of these facts. you
deavor to terminate this unjust usage of
the honorable name of Hunchaklst. We beg
to remain on behalf of the executive COM
mittee of the American division of the So
cial-Democratic Hunchakist party, very
sincerely,
GENERAL SOCRAT. Khan, Chairman

DEFENCE OF THE KAISER
Government Organs View Of
Koenigsberg Speech.

Berlin. Aug. 29-The serni-ofHciaI ''Nord-
deutsche Al1gemeine zeitunS' explains to
day the governments view of the En-
peror's K6nissberg speech, which has been
construed by a part of the press as
declaration of absolutism and an under
estimation of the people and the people 5
representatives
The speech in which Emperor William
intinated his belief that he ruled by divine
right was not. it is set forth, an act of
government but the expression of the per-
sonaI convictions of the monarch, and as
such was the spirit of his sense of duty
resting on religious grounds, which his
majesty had repeatedly proclaimed and
had made actual in his conduct as ruler.
The basis of the criticism of the Emperor
was his affirmation that he went his way
without considering the opinions of the
day, says the .'Norddeutsche Allgemeine
ZeitunE," which adds;
'-He would be bad king who took cur
rent views as the chaIkline for his con-
duet. The imperial speaker is declared to
have put himself in opposition &c the con-
stitution This conclusion can be drawn
only by those who hold TO the fiction that
an independent parliamentary system is de-
pendent on ffuctuating opinion or the alb
Solutisn or the masses, WheTeo1 lie coIl-
stitution knows nothing.
The Emperor the paper adds, mentioned
the historical fact that the kings of PrIs-
sia did not receive the crown from par
lament and says that the statement was
not an expression showing any lack of
esteem of the rights of the people or the
decisions of the people. The Chancellor,
it says. knew how far the Emperor was
removed from the actual strife of political
parties and those who endeavor to inter
pret the speech as conviction OF abSo-
lutfsm artfully used their Interpretation
as fuel for an agitation. The Chancellor.
the paper concludes, will defend his uajes-
ty from the evil of misrepresentation, and
will continue 10 direct the business of state
in full agreement with the crown and
maintain all constitutional rights.

TWENTY CENT COTTON.

When the government began its suit
against certain cotton bull leaders on
the ground that they had entered into
conspiracy in restraint of interstate
trade there were loud outcrieS that it
was interfering in a speculative move
ment and casting its influence upon the
side OF the bears. Those who saw the
price of the August option reach 20
cents yesterday. at which point mag
naninCus bull leader entered the mar
ket and stopped the rise, must have
selt that at any rate the bull cam
raign had not suffered any particular
Inconvenience from the suit and that
the bears had not enjoyed any undue
advantage Twenty cents is the highest
price for Il cotton future since 1873.
Even the classic Sully. in whose ''legiti-
mate" specializing no criminal prose
cutor interested himself, had TO be con-
tent with 1712 cents for future delivery.
and if was not magnanimity which
stopped the Sully rise at that modest
figure.
The bulls in this movement just clos
ing so auSpiciouSly are said to have eX-
hibited not only magnanimity but
singular discretion. They buried the
corpse as the phrase is, with skill
that must excite the envy of other
manipulators of corners who have not
been so successful in that Indispensable
ceremony. Cotton futures reached the
high prices predicted and spot cotton
went where it would do no harm. And
-. u ~
dence Will be found of concerted action
or conspiracy such as would sustain the
governments proceeding under the
Sherman act. If. however it should
turn out that the government had found
a way TO check by criminal proceedings
corners like the present one the legiti
mate cotton industry would he the
gamer.

times as great a trade as we have Is
properly entitled to Il large share OF in
tereSt and influence and is rightly to be
consulted in whatever arrangements are
to be made for the rehabilitation of
Liherian finances.
Sir Harry Johnston's proposal is how
ever. not that the country with the larg-
est interests there should exercise para
mount influence. but that America be-
cause Of her sentimental and historic
relations with Liberia and because of
her detached and independent interna-
tional status. should provide the special
lists who are to administer affairs, in
curing however. no responsibility for
them. Their status would be much like
that which Sir Robert Hart SO long had
ai the head of the Chinese maritime Gus
toms service. Thus Liberia would have
the benefit of competent and efficient
service. such as she sorely needs, and at
the same time would maintain intact her
position as an independent sovereign
power. with her commercial doors open
to all on equal terms. And we may add
that not the least pleasing feature of the
case would be that while we had the
satisfaction of knowing that Americans
were doing the good work our own gov
ernment and country would remain quite
free from responsibility and from en-
tangling complications of any sort.

orr RELATIONS WITH CORF4.

The point of chief interest TO this and
other nations in Japan'S annexation of
Corea or Cho Sen. as it was formerly
known and is hereafter TO he called. is
that of the fate of treaties hitherto made
with Corea and the rights and privileges
of foreigners in that country under Jap
a:,eSe ownership and sovereignty, espe-
cially in trade Upon this point the
declaration of the japanese government
appears to be sufficiently comprehensive
and explicit, and its purport will proba-
hlv be regarded as satisfactory.
The old treaties of Corea lapse. 1t is
a generally recognized principle Of. inter
rational law that, as Wheaton says,
treaties of friendship and alliance, com
lnerce and navigation. even if perpetual
in terms. expire in case either of the con
tracing parties loses its existence as m
indpnendenf state. Thus the United
States regarded its treaties with Algiers
as terminated by the French conquest
of that country. and those with Nassau
and Hanover by the Incorporation of
those states with Prussia, though we be-
lieve it hesitated TO recognize the same
principle when the kingdom of the Two
Sicilies WAS annexed 10 Italy. More re-
Gently. on the cesSiOn of tie Sulu archi-
peago 10y Spain 10 the United States,
our government explicitly held that
treaties between Spain and other powers
in relation 10 commerce with those isl
ands ceased to exist. In place OF the
lapsed Corean treaties so far as possible,
the existing treaties of Japan will be
substituted. in which change other ma
tions will probably not be losers.
In respect of commerce, however, the
J.r,anese government announces an i'm
JortanI exception 10 the rule. Instead
of uIashing the Corean tariff system and
general trading regulations and substi-
tutimG her own, Japan will for term
Cf ten years maintain them not only be-
tween Corea and other lands but also
between Corea and the remainder of the
.Gapanese Empire All commercial rela
tionS with Corea will therefore remain
unchanged for the next ten years. ex-
cepting that Shinwiju will be substituted
for MaSampo as an open port: substl-
tuition which viii probably prove bene-
fetal since Masampo lies only thirty
miles from Fusan and is therefore super
fuous. while Shinwiju is an important
PLACE at the mouth of. the Galu River.
This voluntary prolongation of existing
commercial relations and conditions is :!
gracious act upon the part of Japan,
which will probably 90 far toward recon
cling the world 10 the extinction Of
COrean sovereignty.
