THE SULTA?rS REPORT.

The Turkish legation nt Washington bus

made nfter lnv"stl;;nllou by the special com
missioners of the nillnn. Numerous out
breaks were In-'luilcd In the Investigation,
hut the report ln iates that each of these,
without exception, were duo to seditious
plols by Armenians. I'.xtenslve oulracis
and massacres are alleged to have been com
mitted by ArmonWms. '1 lie report gives the
following li-t of villages hurried by the In

ilt'tr,'llng from the sane- rope. A large num
ber of women were ina.-saered and n number
of llttl" bab.-s and children hurled Into the

"These atroelth s.thc occupation of Zeltoun
by the insurgents, the piling,- and burning of
the administrative pnhce at Anderlu iiini of
the ii'-lL'hhoriu villages, as well ns the many
murders committed all went greatly to aug
ment the audacity of the Armenians at Mar
sh, who, as it was, acquired the habit of
constantly citu-Ing brawl to arise In various
parts of tho city mcl of llrlng without reason
from their windows."
The report conclud' s: "Latterly a number
of Armenians have expressed a d sir" to em
brace Islamlsm, but as they lye not believed
to lie sincere they linve been repulsed by the
authorities."

be completed very soon. '1 ho dimensions of
this new wagon will h 12 feet long, 6 feet
wide and a trllle over 0 feet high. It will
simply be 0 small postnfllce on wheels. It
will be fitted up precisely as in a mail car,
except that the sculo will bo smaller. The
b dy of the wagou will bn hung on springs
und counter springs, and the w heels shielded
with heavy ruhls-r tires. For a longtime

WORSE THAN DYNAMITE.
Manufacture of a New Explosive Is to Be
gin Soon.
A company has been organized nt Bridge
port, Conn., and a tract of land purchased
for the building of a plant to manufacture a
cannon Invented by William Horus. The can
non will use tho now explosive Invented by
Thomas Carroll.
It Is promised that the new cannon will as
tonish the world because it can use Carroll's
wonderful explosive, which the inventor says
has an exploitive force 70 per cent, greater
thau that of dynamite. In appeurunce the
explosive looks like brown sugar, and the
component parts by themselves are harmless.
Carroll has contracted with the United
Status Government and Germany to furnish
them with large quantities of his explosive
He also made a contract with the Cuban In
surgents to blow up the Idnnd.
He returned from Cuba about a month ago,
fuyiug that it would be wise to keep an eye
upon Cuba, for things were bound to Hy.

An editorial In tho Thru on the same sub

nothing by declaring war against the United
states, who. In addition, can make out a case

"The supplementary resolution was avow
