THE CITIZEN KnttrtJ «t Pout five years, with a wealth of sunny hair, and eyes as blue as the Southern sky, was led up to the bell by an old man who limped and lean ed heavily on a cane. The little one managed to get behind the railing that surrounded the bell, and when the guard looked around she was patting the bell with a tiny hand. They did not disturb her—it was a common sight, the police man said, and after awhile she looked up at the old man and said; "There, G wan pa, I said I'd pat the bell, and I did, and the man didn't say a word." And she walked away as proud as a little queen. As they walked away, a by stander remarked that the old man was one of the bravest cavalry colonels in the Confederate i Army, and limped from wounds received in battle, WASHINGTON is said to lie unusally quiet, though Congress meets next week. In the years when a new Congress assem bles Washington is usually in a turmoil for several weeks before Congress meets, owing to the campaign for the nomina tion of Speaker of the House. This year there is no Speakership campaign. It was settled when the votes cast at the Congressional election, last November, were counted that Hon. Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, should again be Speaker of the House. There remains only the minor offices of the House to be determined upon, and although the friends of the several gentlemen who are candidates for each of those offices are greatly interest- the good-natured contest they are wag ing. So it is easy to understand why so few members of the House are in Wash ington and why everything is so quiet. Major McDowell, the Pennsylvania candidate for the House Clerkship, and Mr. Glenn, the New York candidate for Doorkeeper, have opened liead'fuarters in the same hotel and are understood to be working together. Ex-Representative Wade, of Missouri, may be a candidate either for Doorkeeper or for Postmaster; Ohio is said to have a candidate, not yet named, for Postmaster, and Captain Sher wood, of Michigan, ex-Postmaster of the House and of Washington, is also a can didate for the same place. l-',x-Repre sentative Henderson, of Illinois, is a can didate for the Clerkship of the House, and he is said to have declined entering a combination as a candidate for Ser geant-at-arms, a position for which Mr. Russell, the present Speaker of the Mis souri House of Representatives, is a can didate. There are half a dozen candidate» for Chaplain of the House, but the friends of Rev. 11. D. Fisher, of Kansas, says he is certain to get it. Sin* of the Sultan. The following letter has been received in Boston from a reliable correspondent in Constantinople: "The Turks have induced some of the subsidized European papers to speak of these crimes as Armenian outbreaks, etc,; but the ambassadors have full re ports. which they ought to publish, that refute all this, and show conclusively that the Sultan, within a day or two after he signed the reform scheme, ordered the Armenians to be massacred in order that there should be no question of an Armenian majority in any of the provinces. The people sought the spoils obtainable and so did not execute the Sultan's wish to the fullest extent. But the loss of life ha» !>een awful. More over, there seem, to be no way of pre venting more of the same sort. "It is the most awful crime of the cen tury, because it is so persistently falsifi ed by its authors. "Everywhere the story is the same—a deliberate preparation, and then a story sent to Europe that the Armenians at tached the inoffensive Turk, and were reduced to order after a few had been killed. "Worse times are in store for us. Eu rope is divided in counsel, and the Turks, nothing is done for this ''rfcMt will go OJI to extremities. The highest Moslem court has declared that the sultan cannot lawfully lie restrained in the exercise of his will, since he is the representative of God for the whole earth. "From 15,000 to 20,000 people have been slaughtered during the last month, and in consequence no less than 100,000 persons heretofore dependent on them for their daily food, are now in want. The coming winter will witness a vast amount of suffering. It is not alone at Sassoun, but all over the land where these occurrences have taken place. A dispatch to the I/mdori Daily News from Constantinople, giving a general resume of the situation, declares that the recent massacres put the earlier out rages of Siissoun and Moush entirely in the background. If eitlicr England, France or Russia should ptibllsli the stories reported officially by their cooi. headed cnsttls all Europe would stand aghast .it the proof, surprised to think such thing > possible. Wherever these consuls have investigated matters rhey have found that the accusations that the Armenians provoked the riols are false. The Ways and Means Chairmanship. The Fifty-fourth CongTess will shortly assemble in Washington. It is settled beyond question that ex-Speaker Reed will be chosen to preside over the House. The memorable Fifty-first Congress prov ed that he is the man for the place and by the common consent of the party the speakership will go to him, an honor j worthily bestowed. | Pre-eminently important will Vie the framing of the House committees. Most important among these will be the Com mittee on Ways and Means. The abso ! lute necessity of providing revenues to j meet the running expenses of the gov i eminent. and the fact that the people, tas unmistakably shown by the elections of 1894 and 1895, demand that such revenues shall be only raised by the ap plication of the principle of protection, will place upon this committee immedi ate and responsible duties. Next to the speakership the chairman ship of the Ways and Means committee is the most important position in the House. It should be filled by a man of recognized competency, and one in whom the party has full confidence. Allegheny county has a representative who poss esses these qualifications in the highest degree. No better man could be chosen for thus place than John Dalzell, repre sentative from the Twenty-second dis trict. With the exception of H. H. Bingham and A. C. Harmer, of Philadelphia neither of whom have served on the | Ways and Means committee. Mr. Dal zell has had a, longer continuous service than any other member of the Pennsyl vania delegation. He has for eight years represented Allegheny county, the banner county for protection in a State that has never wavered in its adherence to protection. His district has the great est iron, steel, glass, tin plate and coal industries of the country. No one is more familar with the tariff question than is he. He knows it in its very de tail. Serving 011 the Ways and Means committee in the past, he understands its work and duties. In the House he is ready and powerful in debate. Mr. Dalzell is, in every way, the m an for the place. There are, in addition to Mr. Dalzell's acknowledged qualifications for the chairmanship of the Ways and Means committee, other good and sufficient rea sons for his appointment. He comes from a State whose industries are as great as her Republican majorities are magnificent, Pennsylvania merits re cognition at the hands of the Republican party, and it can be most becomingly granted when the man she presents is one whose ability, experience and fitness commend him to the position.—Pitts burg Times. Surrounded by Death. A grim story is published in London taken from a private letter from Constan tinople, according to which a diver, while recently engaged in assisting in the work of driving piles for a new pier at the Golden Horn on reaching the sea Dottom was surprised to find himself surrounded by the bodies of a num!>er of men appar ently standing upright around him. Upon investigation, the diver discover ed that they were the corpses of students, many of whom were known to him per sonally, who were recently arrested by the Turkish police and afterwards taken out in boats and drowned in the Bos pliorus for taking part in the recent dis turbances at Stambul. All the bodies had leaden weights attached to the feet, which kept them erect. The diver said there were from forty to fifty bodies in that spot alone. A dispatch to the Times from Constan tinople says that the opinion prevails in diplomatic circles that a European con- LITRTAV'^"FERIIVSTI'''QTICSNONTOR, L AI though the powers have agreed, this agreement cannot be changed into action for fear of drawing Europe into a dan gerous eastern situation. The winter snows will keep the Asiatic provinces quiet, but something must be done before springtime revives the excitement and Macedonia is brought into the movement, Consuls estimate the loss of property as a result of the Biarl>ekir riots alone at f 2,000,000. General alarm still continues here, de spite reassuring reports from the prov inces, anfl the wealthy Armenians sleep at the hotels in preference to remaining at their own houses. Township Public Buildi.igs An act was passed at the late session of the legislature which puts it in the power of the township authorities to sup ply a public want which has long been felt in some of the rural districts. This act provides that "the Supervisors, Road Commissioners, or other officers having in charge the Constructing and keeping in repair the public roads of any town ship 111 this Commonwealth, are hereby authorized, at their option, to cause a suitable lot of .ground to be procured and cause a suitable building to be erected thereon for a town house in which to hold elections, store road machinery, hold meetings of township officers, and for other township uses." It is further provided that to enable the township authorities to carry out the provisions of this act, "it shall be lawful tor the Supervisors, etc., to borrow mon ey at a rate of interest not exceeding six per centum, and issue bonds there for: Provided, That the total indebted ness incurred by any township, under this act, shall not exceed one-half of one ]ier centum of the assessed value of real estate of such township;" and for the pur}/ise of paying the indebtedness thus created "to collect annually, in cash, a tax not exceeding fifty per centum of the rate of assessment, respectively, laid in each year for road purposes." A EIGCUHAN VICTORY. A messenger who arrived Monday, at the Cuban headquarters in New York from Cuba by way of Tampa, l'la., brings news of a fight November I') at Paguasco. The engagement is said to have been of even more importance than the one at Bayamo some months ago, in which Gen. Campos was nearly captured. The Spanish force, which numbered al most 10,000 men, was led by General Valdez, Luquc and Aldove. Ihe Cubans under General Gomez, about 4,000 strong held advantageous position at the foot of the hill. The fight lasted 36 hours, ac cording to the story, but the Spanish troops were unable to dislodge the Cubans. General Antonio Maceo, who was in the vicinity, came up at this jxiiut, the messenger says, with 3,50" men, and after a fierce conflict the Spaniards were routed. The Cubans then advanced to ward Cicnfuegos and Trinidad. It is now stated that the I'rohibiti onitrts Populists and S'/cialiits arc to be combin ed into one hij? political party.

Meredith, of Kittanning denies that he desires to "return to Harrisburg as a champion of the re-election of Don. Cameron, Harrison ie reported to be doing some talking in favor of Allison. The Republican Co. Committee of Jef ferson Co. met at Brookville lately for the purpose of taking action on the proposi tion made by the Indiana County Com mittee to change the manner of nominat ing candidates for Congress and Senate. The subject was fully discussed and a resolution was passed adopting the plan, so far as it relates to the nomination of candidates for Senator. The committee declined to make any change, at this time, in the manner of nomination Con gressional candidates. A committee was then appointed to meet a smi'ar committee to be appointed from In diana county' to arrange the details for putting the new rale into effect. Ex-Speaker Reed held a levee at his rooms in the Shoreham from early Mon day morning untill late that night. There was not a Republican Congress man in the city who did not pay his re spects to the big man from Maine. His rooms were crowded at all times, The day's experience was in the nat ure of a reception. It is probable that not a single committee place was can vassed, but the remainder of the week will bring to the next speaker great worriment and vexation of spirit. Mr. Reed was as care-free as a school boy, and his wholesome laughter and playful manner give little hint of the am bitions that lie hidden behind his round jolly face. In joking about his walkover for the speakership he laughingly said, •'lt's too bad, isn't it? I will have no friends to reward nor enemies to punish," While the remark was made in jest, it is a pretty clear indication of the policy Mr. Reed will pursue in organizing th e House. T HE Lake states, ana part of the Mis sissippi valley were swept by a blizzard, Monday night and Tuesday. On the lakes there was a great loss of shipping; Chicago was stormbound, street car trav el was blocked and some passengers were comj>elled to remain in the cars all night. Reports of the storm come from Cincin ati, Louisville, St. Louis,jlndianaoplis, Cleveland, Buffalo and other points, showing th at it was widespread. AT a monster mass meeting in New York. Monday, presided over and ad dressed by some of the leading men of the city, it was resolved, "That we extend onr sympathy to the Cuban people in their struggle for freedom and indepen dence, and we call on the Congress and the President of these United States, and request then to grant belligerent rights to the Cuban Republic."
