    THE SULTAN YIELDS
Will Permit Miss Barton To Dis
tribute Relief to Armenians.
IR. TERRELL'S EFFORTS SUCCESSFUL
Aaotbtr Letter Racelvod In This Country
Tailing of the Terrible Sufferings of
Christians at the Xlnnds of
tha Bloodthirsty Kurds.
Constantinople, Feb. 11.—The repre
sentative of the United Press* learns
that the Hon. A. W. Terrell, the Ameri
can minister, has procured for Miss
Clara Darton and her assistants, who
arc now enroute for this city, the sul
tan's safeguard, which will allow them
to visit the six distressed provinces of
Anatolia and personally distribute re
lief among the sufferers.
Work of the Barbarous Kurds.
Philadelphia, Feb. 11.—The denial of
the stories by the porte that Armeni
ans are boing given the choice of ac
cepting Islamism or death would seem
to be again refuted by undeniable evi- j
dence. H. M. Siragauian, who re
•ently learned of the murder of his ;
lather, the Rev. M. Siraganian, a Rap- j
tlab missionary, and thirteen relatives, 1
by Kurds and Turks, yesterday re
ceived a letter from his son at Arab-
Ida. This letter is dated Jan. 13, and :
is as follows: "We have wept ulready !
on the misery of our country. You also
read, and think, and weep. The bar
bsrous Kurds suddenly attacked us. j
Those of us who could walk escaped to j
the mountains, with the hope of sav
ing our lives, as we had no means to
protect ourselves in other ways. For
four days wo wandered in tho rocky
hills that surround our villages, hun
gry, thirsty, naked and unprotected.
After four days we went back to our
homes filled with awe and anxiety, j
but, alas, there was not even left a dry
loaf of broad or a handful of flour or
a piece of carpet. They had carried '
away everything; however, our misery
did not end with this. Our enemies did
not give us time enough to mourn our
lost property, and, above all, our !
wronged honor. They came back after
two days with double forces and
burnod down all tho houses left un
burned.
I Forced To Accept Islamism.
"I am unable to describe all the par
ticulars of it because after seeing that
bloody scene I have lost reason and 1
everything. Dear father, your Chris
tian son is now a Mohammedan (nay, !
by name only), as they forced us to ac- !
eepfc their religion as a means of salvu
tion. My name is Mohammed Zoki. If
you sver write to rae please address me
in that name, or 1 will never get your
letter. We have no bread to eat, no
home to live in, but that gives us no
more pain than to see our church
robbed of all its glory and made a
mosque of. Instead of the ringing of
the bolls we hereafter will hear the
voice of Imam (Turkish minister), and
instead of paalms and hallelujahs the
praiaoa of Mohammed. Blessed are
tkoso who are dead. They were more
fortunate than we are. Wo also will
die, while there eeoms to be no mercy
in this world. Wo will die, but alas,
they will oven decline a littlo space
near our forefathers in tho church
yard. Mohammedan priests will say
prayers upon our graves. Think, dear
father, about our condition. Accept
your son's salutation. Perhaps it is the
last."

Charged Preferred Against the Prosocu
tor of Bergen County, N. J,
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 11. —A commu
nication reached the legislature last
night through Senator Daly of Hudson,
which has for its object, no doubt, the
impeachment of Peter W. Stagg, the
i prosecutor of the pleas of Bergen
1 county. Senator Daly had the commu
nication referred to the judiciary eora
-1 mittee. The communication is from
I John G. lvehoo, a resident of Lynd
| hurst, Bergen county. lie charges
I Prosecutor Stagg with having cor
! ruptly and criminally disregarded his
duty in not having prosecuted certain
i persons for high crimes and misde
| meanors and with having cruelly and
inhumanely prosecuted certain other
| persons for light crimes. Kehoe
charges that Stagg prevailed upon
j Columbus Randolph to plead guilty
to an indictment for selling
liquor without a license, using
j the threat that ho had SIO,OOO of the
state's money and would use it to con
vict him. On sentence day Randolph
apprised the court of the threat and
he alleges was allowed to retract his
j plea. In July last, he continues, a man
j named Hoffman was robbed and sand
bagged by two men. The prosecutor
j refused to take the assailants before
{ their victim and lie died, and now, since
1 they cannot be identified, it is iuipossi
j ble to convict them. Kehoe also ac
cused Stagg of having approached him
' while lie was a member of the grand
I jury to have certain men indicted.
| Other serious charges are preferred
I against Stagg in the document.

PAYING FOR BONDS
Nearly 89,000,000 Deposited at
New York Sub-Treasury.
GOLD RECEIVED FOR EXAMINATION
Explanation of tho Story Regarding the
Rejection of Certuin Deposits—Tho
Treasury Not an Annex for a
Bullion Broker's Ollico.
New York, Feb. 11.—The deposits of
gold in the sub-treasury up to this
morning in payment for bonds amount
to 88,749,524.15. In addition considera
ble gold has been deposited for examin
ation. The report that the sub-treasury
had rejected gold arose in this way:
For some time past a bullion broker on
Wall street has been turning in legal
tenders for gold and selling the gold at
a premium. Yesterday afternoon ho
presented 8800,000 in legal tenders and
withdrew the same amount of gold.
Five hundred thousand dollars were
immediately turned into the bond de
partment. On tho socond transaction
of $300,000 lie secured the gold in bags
and gave it to tho clerks of tho firms
who had subscribed for the 4's, and
who had accompanied him to the sub
treasury. It was then that Assistant
Treasurer Jordan objected to having
the sub-treasury used as an annex to a
bullion broker's office. The dealer in
question made charges of favoritism
against Mr. Jordan, but the pith of his j
argument lies in the fact that he did j
not care to cart the gold from the sub
treasury and then bring it back. Prob- j
ably such a course would reduce the
insignificant profit ho socures by sell
ing government gold drawn out through ;
tho agency of legal tenders.
DISTRIBUTION OF SEED.
Secretary Morton Keplien to Senator Vest's
Charge* of Favoritism.
Washington, Feb. 11.— Referring to
the charge of Senator Vest that the j
secretary of agriculture had dis- j
tributed 150,000 more packages of seed j
in Nebraska than that state was en- ;
titled to last year, Secretary Morton !
says: "Under tho law one-third of tho ■
seed purchased was distributed by the 1
secretary of agriculture. Iu accordance
with that provision, some years ago ;
when there was great suffering ulong j
the sea islands of the Carolina coast,
the secretary of agriculture, through ;
Clara Barton and the Red Cross, gavo
a great portion of tho one-third of the I
seed which ho was authorized to dis- '
tribute to tho people whoso fields and |
gardens had been ruined by the tidal !
wave. As to that very large distri- i
bution of seed to those southern suf- !
ferors no complaint was made. There
fore, during the recent seasons of ex
treme drouth in the northwest the sec
retary of agriculture frankly confesses
that he gave far more than the normal
quota of seed to Nebraska, Kansas and
each of the Dakotas and to Oklahoma."

PANIC AT MADRID.
An Aerolite Explode* and People Are
Injured in a Stampede.
Madrid, Feb. 11. —A panic was caused
in this city by the bursting of an
aerolite. A shock like earthquake ac
companied the explosion, which took
place in the atmosphere, some distance
from the city. The people in the su
burbs of Madrid were also panic
stricken by the explosion. The opera
tives in the factories, the children in
the schools and the employes and
others in the markets rushed into the
streets in a wild stampede, believing
that the world was about to be de
stroyed. Many of them threw them
selves prone upon the ground and
commended their souls to God, while
others in a frenzy of terror rushed
hither and thither crying upon the
saints to save them. Many persons
were injured in the aimless rushes by
running into each other or by being
thrown down and trampled upon. The
shock of the explosion was so great in
the city that it cuused the collapse of
one house, and threw down a partition
wall in the building occupied by the
American legation. The shock was
strongly felt in Guadalajara, the prov
ince bounding the province of Madrid
on the northeast, and in other places.
Among the superstitious the visit of
the aerolite is believed to have been a
dire portent.

Not Yet Beady for Photoffraphlmr
the Brain.
THE WIZARD CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
He la Working Out a Plan Whereby the
Rays Will Have Only One
Thlckueaa of Skull To
Penetrate.
Orange, N. J., Fob. 11.—Thomas Edi
son is attempting to secure the best
vacuum in the tubes which are to bo
used in his new method of photography.
There is some doubt in his mind as to
tho degree of vacuum in the tubes
that will produce the best results. lie
will not try to photograph the brain of
a man until he is sure that he has de
cided upon the proper vacuum. He
has decided to change his original plan
for photographing the brain, and will
have a special plateholder, two inches
by two inches in size, which will be
placed in the mouth of the subject,
while tho battery of tubes will be
placed on top of the subject's head. In
this way there will bo only one thick
ness of skull for the X rays to go
through. Mr. Edison is confident of
success. He has just secured some
shadow photographs showing the rays
passing through steel bars a half inch
in thickness, ne found that on substi
tuting steel plates for the aluminum
ones in tho tubes no rays were de
veloped, they being absorbed by the
steel. Mr. Edison says that after mak
ing thorough experiments in photo
graphing the human brain he will take
up the question of tho effect of the
rays upon bacteria. lie claims that
the rays will retard the germination of
bacilli, and believes that they will
destroy them. Ho intends making an
exhaustive series of experiments on
this point.
