That the Slaughter of Armenian* Will
Continue as Long as Europe Stands Idly

Act Promptly—Snltan Denounced.
(Copyrighted, 1896. by Associated Press,]
Liverpool, Sept. 34. Enthusiastic
* crowds of people assembled at an early
hour in the vicinity otHengler’s circus,
all anxious to push into the building
and hear the eagerly anticipated address
7 /<
WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE.
which the Right Hon. William E. Glad
stone had announced his willingness to
make before the meeting called by the
Reform club to protest against recent
massacres of Armenians in Constanti
nople and those in Turkey. The doors
of the circus building were open for the
admission of the audience at 10 o’clock
and at 11 o'clock the vast auditorium
i. was packed to its utmost capacity.
Mr. Gladstone. Mrs. Gladstone, Mr.
Herbert Gladstone and other members
of the family arrived in this city during
the morning and were met at the rail
. road station by a crowd of 2,000 people,
who greeted the veteran statesman with
hearty cheers when he and his family
were recognized.
AtHengler’Scircus Mr. Gladstone was
received by a large and wildly enthusi
astic outburst of applause on the part of
the crowds who were unable to obtain
admittance, and as the great Liberal
leader entered the hall there was a roar
of applause that could be heard a mile
away. The cheering continued for a
long time after Mr. Gladstone stepped
briskly upon the platform at 12:30 p. m.
and bowed gravely in acknowledgment
of the enthusiastic welcome accorded
him.
The Earl of Derby, who presided, was
accompanied by the Countess of Derby,
and upon the platform were many per
sons of distinction.in political, commer
cial and social life. -
Recent Masxacre* Denounced.
After file usual formalities of the
opening of such a meeting had been con
cluded, the first resolution, proposed by
a Conservative and seconded by a Lib
eral, was put. It read:
That this meeting desires to express in
dignation at and abhorrence of the cruel
treatment to which the Armenians are be
apg subjected by their Turkish rulers, and
The massacres which have recently oc
.curred at Constantinople are a disgrace
to the civilization of the nineteenth cen
tury.
- v This was adopted by acclamation.
When Mr. Gladstone arose to speak
he looked well and hearty for a man of
_ , his years and hard work. He bowed
repeatedly in response ta the outbursts
•of cheering which greeted him. Wiien
he was able to be heard, Mr. Gladstone,
after a few preliminary remarks, moved
the following resolutions read, amid en
thusiastic applause, during which every
person present was ou his or her feet,
wildly waving hats, handkerchiefs,
sticks or umbrellas:
That this meeting trusts her majesty’s
government realizing to the full extent
the terrible condition in which their : el
low Christians are placed, will do every
thing p ssible to obtain for them full se
curity and protection, ami this meeting
assures her majesty’s ministers of the
support of the citizens of Liverpool in
whatever steps it is necessary to take for
tjjat purpose. ,
When the applause had been calmed
down by the outstretched hand of the
aged statesman, Mr. Gladstone declared
his adhesion to the principles contained
•in the resolutions, and said he came
* there not claiming any authority except
•that of a citizen of Liverpool. But, he
.added, the national platform upon which
the meeting was based gave greater au
thority for sentiments universally enter
tained throughout the length and
breadth of the land and urged that in
this matter party sympathies should be
renounced.
Mr. Gladstone Speaks.
Continuing, Mr. Gladstone said:
“I entertain the lively hope and strong
belief that the present deplorable situa
tion is not due to the act of default if
the government of this country. (Cries
•of cheers).

“is broad grounds of hu
manity directed against the
Mohammedans, 1 ut against the Turkish

THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
THE HOME TRIBUNE, ROME, GA., FRI DAY S uPTEMBE IC 25, 1896.’
••x*cr„, oa-in ioto, to me guut of the
massacres is added the impudence of de
nial. which shall continue just as long
as Europe is contented to listen.”
Mr. Gladstone then expressed the
opinion that the purpose of the gather
ing was defensive and prospective, say
ing that no one could hold out the hope
that the massacres were ended, although
he ventured tq anticipate that the words
spoken at the meeting will find their
way to the palace at Constantinople.
[Loud cheers].
Mr. Gladstone then said:
“I doubt if it is an exaggeration to
say it was in the sultan’s palace and
there only that the inspiration has been
supplied and the policy devised ’of the
whole series of massacres. When the
sultan carries massacre into his own
camp, under the eyes of the ambassa
dors, he appears to have gained the very
acme of what is possible for him to do.
“But,” the speaker continued, “the
weakness of diplomacy, I trust, is about
to be strengthened by the echo of this
nation’s voice.” [Great cheering].
“We have a just right <to threaten
Turkey with coercion, but that des not
in itself mean war, and I think that the
first step should be the' recall of our am
bassador (cheers] and it should be fol
lowed by the dismissal of the Turkish
ambassador from London. Such a course
is frequent, and it would not give the
right of complaint to anybody. When
diplomatic relations are suspended,
England should inform the saltan that
she would consider the means of en
forcing her just and humane demands.
I do not believe that Europe will make
war to insure the continuance of massa
cres more terrible than ever recorded in
the dismal, deplorable history of human
crime.” [Loud cheering].
Mr. Gladstone, who spoke for about
20 minutes, was in and did
not seem fatigued when he had finished.
Before the arrival of the Gladstone
party and distinguished guests in the
auditorium of . Hengley’s circus, there
was a spontaneous burst of patriotism,
everybody present standing bareheaded
and joining in singing: “God Save the
Queen.”
Copies of the resolutions adopted will
be forwarded to the cabinet ministers.

An Alabama Judge Issues a Special Charge
to the Grand Jury.
Selma, Ala., Sept. 24. —Judge Tyson,
who is presiding over the Dallas county
circuit court in place of Judge Moore,
has issued a special charge to the grand
jury touching of the lynchingthe two
negroes, Israel Mobley and Billy Hun
ter, by white men in Martin’s precinct
last July.*
He said*that the lives of negroes are
as sacred in the eyes of the law as the
lives of white men, denounced lynch
law and pronounced the lynching of
the two negroes as murder, which, if
allowed to go unpunished, would be a
blot on the fair name of Alabama.
The two negroes entered the yard of
Colonel C. D. Hunter, a prominent
planter, and shot at him with a double
barreled shotgun as he sat by a lamp in
the hall reading to his wife and daugh
ters. The negroes were caught, con
fessed and on their way to jail were
taken from the officers and swung from
a bridge.

The people who sat at meat in Du
rand’s last night at 7:39 p. m. were
astonished to see Major J. F. Hanson

A R 1 mor o’ Fusion.
It is not surprising that rumors of
fusion went flying through the air.
Speculation is still rife on the subject,
but the rumors are laughed at by Mr.
Reed and Colonel Buck, who say the
meeting was merely accidental. Mr.
Reed said when asked about it;
“We had no conference; the meet
ing there was purely accidental. Ma-,
jor Hanson ca-me down on the same
train with us and Colonel Buck was
at the depot to meet him. ”

when asked if there was any polit’eal
significance in the meeting.
“No,’’said he, “nothing of the kind.
Hanson came.down from Cartersville,
where he spoke yesterday, and I was
there to meet him. It happened that
Watson and Reed were on the train,
and we went into the restaurant to
gether.”
“There is no prospect of fusion?”
“None at all.’’
Mr. Reed said that Mr. Watson had

CANNOT CHANGE TICKET.
Butler Says Populist Committee Has Not
the Power to Withdraw Bryan#
Washington, Sept. 24.—"50 far as
the Populist party may have power in
the’ matter, Bryan aud Watson will be
its candidates until the close -of the cam
paign,” said Senator Marion Butler. “If
either retires it’will be his voluntary
act. The national committee only has
power to All vacancies, and can take no*
action until such vacancies occur.
“A general impression has prevailed
that because our nominating convention
by resolution gave the national commit
tee plenary powers and delegated them
authority to perform all acts that the
convention itself could do, we could re
move either Bryan or Watson without
their consent. My opinion is that the
convention itself could not remove one
of its candidates after the nomination
had been formally accepted.
“It is all nonsense to talk about nom
inating a Populist on the ticket with
Watson, as that could be accomplished
only by the withdrawal of Mr. Bryan.
The committee cannot remove him.”
As to the assertion that fusion be
tween the Democrats and Populists
would be declared off in a few days on
the proposition that “If Sewall wont go
I Bryan must.” Senator Butler said the
1 national committee had done every
thing in its power to unite the different
, factions and believed that in the main
■ they had been successful.
He declared the rumor of the retire
ment of both Sewall and Watson and
the substitution of John R. McLean to
be a product of a superheated imagi
nation.
| BIG FIRE IN MISSOURI.
A Military Academy Completely Destroyed
Several Student* Seriously It Jared.
I Mexico, Mo., Sept. 24.—The Misosuri
military academy, situated ten miles
northeast of Mexico, has been burned
: to the ground, causiug a loss of $75,000
to the building and a heavy loss in per
sonal effects. Insurance, $35,000. One
i hundred students were in the building
when the fire broke out and while no
lives were lost, many of them had nar
row escapes and received injuries more
or less serious.
The flames broke out in the east end
of the institution, which is a substantial
3-story structure of stone and brick, and
from the nature of the origin of the lire,
it is thought to have been the work of
an incendiary. Cadet Glopton, son of
the United States district attorney of
St. Louis, and Cadet W. W. Austin of
Carrollton, Mo., proved themselves he
roes and saved several lives. Captain
Glasscock, the military instructor, and
Lieutenant Grant, U. S. A., did heroic
rescue work. /
Cadet Glonton was awakened by
smoke. He sounded the fire call on his
bugle and aroused his sleeping com
rades. With the help of Caxjet Austin
he succeeded 4n helping several of his
frightened and almost helpless comrades,
to get out of the' burning building. Cap
tain Glasscock and Lieutenant Grand
ran from room to room at the peril of
their lives, getting out the students who
had not been-awakened by the bagle
call.
When the boys, stopping on the sec
ond and third stories of the building,
realized that the structure was on fire,
aud that escape by the rear stairway
was cut off, they were compelled to
jump from the windows. There was no
hesitation on the part of the older of the
boys, who were almost compelled to
force their younger comrades to make
the leap. Twenty-one were injured, but
none fatally.
The building was soon burned to the
ground and all its contents destroyed,
wAs saved by the faculty and
students, who were compelled to take
shelter in neighboring houses and hotels.
A FARMER’S RICH FIND.
Mr. Ab Wright Discover* an Old Iron Pot
Full of Gold Colo.
Athens, Ga., Sept. 24. - Mr. Ab
Wright; -air old farmer of Banks county,
is reported to bd richer by $7,000 today
than he was a few weeks since. The
story that comes to. Athens is that he
had the good fortune to run upon an old
iron pot full of gold coin, amounting in
value to the sum above named.
The place where he found the coin
was upon Mr. Eli Riley’s plantation,
which was purchased years ago from
Mr. John W. Pruitt. Mr. Wright is
said to have accidentally stumbled upon
this rich find a short while since while
hunting in the woods. A man’s name
was on the pot, but the name has not
been disclosed.
It is not known how the treasure came
there. Years before the war an old man
named Sol Williamson was paid $15,000
for slaves and died shortly thereafter.
When he was dying he couldn’t speak,
but pointed in the direction of the sp >t
where this treasure had just been found.
There is likely to be some litigation over
the title to the money.
EDWARD IVORY ON TRIAL.
He Is Said to Have Been Connected With
the Alleged Dynamite Plot.
London, Sept. 34.—Edward J. Ivory,
alias Edward Bell, the New York sa
loonkeeper who was recently .arrested at
Glasgow, charged with being connected
with the alleged dynamite conspiracy
of which P. J. P. Tynan is said to be
the moving spirit, was arraigned at
Bow street police court.
C. F. Gill, who appeared for the treas
ury department, said that the prisoner’s
name was Ivory and charged him with
conspiring with Tynan, Kearney and
Haines, to cause dynamite explosions in
the United Kingdom and also with aid
ing and abetting dynamite offenses.
Mr. Gill claimed that the four men
mentioned left New York in August
and he said it was quite clear that they
were supplied with money sent to this
country by a Fenian organization in
New York, for the purpose of going to
Antwerp, preparing bombs and dyna
mite and securing men in Londou and
Glasgow to explode them.
Continuing, Mr. Gill said that Sept.
15 had been fixed upon as the time when
•the contemplated last step of the con
spiracy would be consumed.
Ivory, Mr. Gill added, left New York
on Aug. 19, reached Southampton on
Aug. 26 and proceeded to Londoix his
special duty being to interview persons
considered likely to be willing to engage
in the crimes proposed. The prosecutor
then gave the dates of the different
movements of the men in Great Britain
and on the continent, saying that they
used a cipher in communicating with
each other.
WARRANTS FOR UNION MEN.
Leadville Gliners Charged With the Mur
der of Fireman Jat-ry O'Keefe.
Leadville, Colo., Sept. 24.—Thirty
warrants have been issued by the dis
trict court for the officers and members
and executive committee of the Miners’
union, charged with the murder of
Fireman Jerry O'Keefe. Fifteen of
these have been served and the men are
now in the county jail.
Mr. Boise of Boise, Ida., president of
the Western Federation of Miners, was
placed in jail Wednesday night, the
sheriff saying he was there for safe
keeping, no charge having been made
against him as yet.
There was to have been a meeting
of the Miners* union at the city hall
Wednesday evening, and General
Brooks sent a squad with a gatling gun
to the hall, with instructions to prevent
the meeting. The gun was later re
turned to battery headquarters, the
nqjon meeting having be n held at an
early hour and being in session but ten
minutes.
The order declaring that the city shall
become subject to martial law at 3
o’clock Wednesday afternoon was sus
pended until 6 o’clock. Before the lat
ter hour arrived the order was indefi
nitely suspended. Excitement is at
fever heat, owing to the flood of rumor*
and the failure to declare martial law.

Heavy Rains Benefit tbe Top Cotton in

Heavy Rains In Southern Cen

■ -**.
LOWERED THE GRADE OF COTTON
But Little Damage Was Done, However.
The Work of Gathering the Fleecy Staple
Makes Rapid Progress Under Favorable
Conditions—Farmers Sowing Winter
Grain—The Soil In Excellent Shape.
Washington, Sept. 24.—The weather
bureau, in its report of ciop conditions
for the week just ended, says: As most
crops had been secured, the heavy frosts
over the northern states during the lat
ter part of the week caused but little
damage. The heavy rains over south
ern, central aud western Texas during
the latter part ot the week lowered the
grade of cotton, but the benefit of the
top crop will more than counterbalance
the injury sustained. In Mississippi
cotton is turning out better than was
expected, and in some sections is mak
ing new growth, which, however', is too
late to be matured this se..son.
Over the central and eastern portion
of the cotton belt the week has been
dry, and the work of picking has made
rapid progress under favorable condi
tions. Except in the southern states,
where drouth continues, the general
condition of the soil for plowing and
seeding of winter grain is excellent, and
this work, which in sbnie states had
been delayed, has been pushed rapidly,
and is now well advanced. In Michi
gan, Indiana and Illinois, early sown
grain :'s coming up and is looking well.
NEWS FROM THE ORIENT.
Au Anti-Foreign Feeling Developing In
the Neighborhood of Foo I'huw.
Vancouver, B. 0., Sept. 24. —The
Empress of India has arrived from the
Orient. Among the passengers is his
excellency, Yen Nien, who is entrusted
with an important mission to Washing
ton city by the Emperor of China.
Charters of a number of Japanese
national banks expire either this or nest
year. All banks have secured permis
sion from the finance minister to reor
ganize as private banks. Most ot them
will largely increase their capital. One
paper estimated that 11 of banks
will increase their capital from 5,230,-
000 yen to 20,820,000 yen.
Much uneasiness prevails in the neigh
borhood of Foo Chow owing to the anti
foreign feeling that appears to be de
veloping among the natives. It is sta
ted that the city of Kir Ning Fu hqs
been placarded since Aug. 24, to the
effect that foreign properties will be
burned down and all fofeigners massa
cred. Dr. Rigg is the -only foreigner
there and Archdeacon Wolfe, upon re
ceipt of the intelligence, took immediate
stdps to get the Chinese officials in the
city to protect Dr. Rigg and the mission
property.
From Hong Kong comes the news
that a preacher of an English mission
has been arrested and beaten by official
gunners.
EULOGIZES CLEVELAND.
Ambassador Bayard Speaks at a Banquet
In the City of Liverpool.
Liverpool, Sept. 24.—The American
chamber of commerce here gave a ban
quet in connection with the annual
meeting of the British Association for
the Advancement of Science, which has
been in progress here. Mr. Bayard, the
United States ambassador, was the chief
guest of the evening.
In responding to a toast to the presi
dent of the United States, Mr. Bayard
referred to the queen’s prolonged reign
as a triumph of good and settled govern
ment in a free country. He also eulo
gized President Cleveland’s financial in
tegrity and good faith. His chief reason,
he said, for coming was his warm ap
preciation of the noble words spoken by
Baron Russell of Killoween, the lord
chief justice of England, now in the
United States, in favor of international
arbitration, which Mr. Bayard said he
hoped would sink into the consciences
es both peoples.
The Steamer Josephitea Evaneila Lost.
San Francisco, sept. 24.—The south
sea missionary schooner, Jose phi tes
Evaneila,--i8 reported to have foundered
at sea in longitude 147 degrees west, lat
itude 14 degrees 30 minutes south, July
26. The news was received in advices
brought by the Tahiti brig Tropic Bird.
The Evaneila was sailing 1 etween Po
muta aud Tahiti when she was caught
ina storm which so strained her that
her seams opened and she filled and
