If Mr. Clovelnn ' were allowed to choose
between the or ents of hnvlns; i.np;ress
on his lin.nU or gout In his feet hi would
probably take bolls.
What may he definitely considered ns
one of tl o most notable mid Important

The t'hiladelphin Inquirer, which took
pl.ice last Saturday evening In the pres
ence of thousands of distinguished men
from all parts of tho United States. The
Inquire - has long since como to be
ro jognized as thu lending newspaper of

I'm statements by Secretary , Carl Ule
n.l Controller Eckels regarding their
banking pinna have not rustle the matter
nun h clearor than it was before. It is
plain they do not agree, and .ho differences
beiui'un t.em are more serious than
would have been inferred from perusal of
the Secretary's report. The questions
asked by members of the committee dis
close tho fact that there were the same
differences between the Democratic mem
bers, besides the wider differences between
nil advocates of the state banking plan
mid the iiepnblleans. TIib prospect that
nny agreement can bo reached in Con
gress d jes not seem to be bright, but the
Administration has taken hold of tho
business as if determined tb f iroe through
the measure it wants passed, whether
Democrats In Congress like It or not. It
was not, very successful in similar efforts
at the long session, and will find the ob

Mayor Pingreo of Dotroit has n theo
ry of his own in regard to horses. IIo
reasons thnt it is cheaper at prosont ratos
for liorseflosh to kill horses than to
winter them over. In tho Bpring now
ones can ho bought for less than tho
prico of feeding tho others through the
winter. Acting on this theory, Mayor
Pingroo lately had two of his carriage
horses chloroformod to death nml their
bodies sold to a rendering establish
ment. With au ooonomy that cannot bo
too highly commended, Mr. Pingreo
saved tho horses' shoes. Thoy will do

throo missions comprise 15 stations, E08 out

nnd 7:1 unmarried women: in fact it cm
ploys 791 native laborers. Thcso occupy
2119 places for stated preaching and seenro
average com-regntlons of 80,7-17 persons,
Tho Snbbai '1 schools number 20,101. Tho

481, of whom 40S were recelvnd within a

Thu educational work is extensive.
There are 4 th"olijgloal schools, SO theo

boarding schools for buys, containing 1,8(3
pupils; 20 oollegc, high and boarding
tchools for girls, containing 1,131 pupils.
Thoro nro i!7J common schools, containing
10,833 puplU. Tlisra nro 1,501 others under

under instructions consist of 10,tfi0 per
sons. Ths contributions of the natives
hut ytiar to the board amounted to 34,7rD.
These facta do not include the wort in
Eiiropnau Turkey. Numerous Inquiries
has Induced this conservative organisa
tion to furulsh tho following statement
relating to 'affairs in Turkey:"
' o are not unconcerned about the re
ports of tho massacre iu eastern Turkey.
Tho position of tho 177 missionaries of tho
American board within tho Turkish cm
piro Is an extremely dellcato oue. Sympa
Ihlz'ng deeply on tho one side with all who
ini; suffering by reason of poverty, oppres
sion nnd misrule, thoy hnvo yet been loyal
to the government under which thoy have
lived, and have never countenanced nod'
tlon or rebellion. It is not necessary for
our missionaries, after those scores of years
of devoted lalxir for the native races of
Turhey, to prove tielr sympathy with tho
suffering mid oppressed by joining others
who, at a safe distance from tho scene of
danger, aro pas.Ua rigorous resolutions
in condemnation of the wrongs lniliuUid.
It is inexpedient for us to present a full
statement of all wo hoar and bolicvo.
Some things wo may properly say to
tho full investigation of tho alleged atroc
ities, which wo trust will bo made by tho
representatives of both our government
and of the Kuropeau powor.4. In the San
eoun region, south of Moush Plain, there
uro, or recently wero, mauy villages in
habited by Armenians. Those people wore
systematically robbed of their flocks by
Kurds, and in tho latter part of tho sum
mer tho Armenian pursued tho robbers
in tho endeavor to recover tiioir property.
In the fight which ensued a dozen of thoso
Kurds wero killed, among whom were
some who wero enrolled as Turkish sol
diers. "When information was given that tho
Armenians had killed some of tho sultan's
troops, the charge of rebellion was made
nnd orders wero sout to put down tho in
surrection. Tho result was that these law
less and uncontrolled soldiers made iirtlis
crlniinate slaughter of tho people who had
sought to defend their property. Iu the
horrible mu-iKnrro which followed thou
sand were slain, some state 0,000, others
10,000. The details of this wretched affale
are-not obtainable oven by thoso near tho
scene. They will never bo obtained unless
foreign governments Insist upon a thor
ough investigation, conducted by foreign
ers. Tho poor people ure in terror and
dare not statu tho truth unless under pro
tection. "Though our missionaries In eastern
Turkoy aro often upon tho Moush Plain.
where there aro many out stations in
which the evangelical work is conducted
by them, yot tllr work has not extended
into this Sassoun district, and henco they
havo had no direct reports from tho scono
of tho massacre.
"Papers from Constantinople, printed
in that city and entirely under tho control
of the Turkish censors of the press, an
nounce that tho sultan lias sent one of his
imperial guards to tho city of Erzingiui,
111 eastern 1. uricey, 10 carry a decoration to
Zekki Pasha, tho commander of tho Fourth
army corps, which Is located thoro. Zekki
Pasha Is tho military commander who led
tho troops against the defenseless vlllnires
In tho Sassoun region at tho tlmo of the
massacre. Another envoy carries four
banners from the sultan to tho four load
ing Kurdish chiefs who wero associated
with tho military commander iu tho re
ported massacre, and who probably were
tho Instigator of it.
"After tho sultan has thus annrovod of
the action of his troops and of tho Kurds
it will bo impossible for anv commission
appointed by tho Turkish government to
investigate 1 110 outrugo and bring any re
port that reflects on either tho Kurds or
tho army. Hy this act tho sultan booms
to ossumo all tho responsibility of what
has boon done."
The Armenian Foui-iit Univcly,

A letter which appears iu a paper horo
states that for nineteen ilnvj tlm v,.cl,1ft.
of Armenian villages where tho recent
outrages wero perpetrated fought against
the Kurds, Tho Armenians lost only ton
warriors, whllo tho Kurds lost 60'J. When
tho regular troops under Zekki Pasha ap
peared the Armenians wore compelled to
succumb. After Zokkl Pasha's treachery
ill offering peace' hixty young Armenian
men wero seized and tortured horribly for
three days. Thon all wero murdered and
their bialies burled In a ditch. Among the
Armenian heroes who lost tholr Uvea the
