American Presbyterian mission sta

regular troops and Kurds are persecut

life in a successful effort to prevel.
a frightful massacre at Geogtapa,
where 5000 Assyrians made their last
stand They had fought for 3 days
and all their ammunition was gone.
At this juncture DR.. Packard unfurled
the American flag and advanced be
tween the lines. His act resulted in
saving of all but 200 of the Assyrians,
who had been burned in church.
Fifteen thousand Assyrian Christ
ians have taken refuge under the pro-
lection of the American mission sta
ton, while 2000 are at the French mis-
sion. A dispatch received at Tifiis
from Urumiah Tuesday declared that
70 Turkish regular troops had entered
the mission, hanged the orthodox bisb
op, Mar Ella, and four orthodox clergy
men and beat and insulted mission
ary named Allen. Shortly before the
60 refugees had been dragged from
the French mission and executed in
spite of tire fearful pleas of the nuns.

bills appropriating $4,000 for the Cast
Teton normal school and $4,000 to
buy land adjoining the prison at

The House disposed yesterday OF
the largest volume Of business so far

enabled the completion of much
work. The haste aroused the ire or
Mr. Hapgood, however, and during
the afternoon he protested on every
bill which was acted upon without
calendar notice. The desk slamming
squad at times threatened to stop his
protests and motions for postpone
ment on bill, but he struck grimly to
his task The situation was relieved
when Mr.. Foote of Cornwall at five
o'clock called it good days work
and moved to adjourn.
The Senate refused to suspend its
rules and reconsider the Boston &
Maine bill, so it goes on to the House.
Senator Simonds made strong Of.

dangerous character of the bill, bur
the required three-fourths were not
willing to reconsider. He said that
he had an amendment to safeguard
