New York, Jan. 29.—A special to The Herald from London says: Mr. Gladstone has written another letter tho Armenian question in which, after referring to the “murderous wickedness of the sultan, his absolute victory over the powers and their unparalleled dis grace and defeat,” ho says: “I cannot wholly abandon tho hope that opt of this darkness light will arise, but the matter rests with the Almighty, to whom surely all should adciress fervent prayers in behalf of his suffering matures.” -Li.t Russian-Turkey Treaty Agaiii New York, Jan. 20. — A special to The Herald from St. Petersburg says: From information obtained on the best possible authority it can be stated that nothing is known here abont the sup- iosed treaty between Russia aud Tur- :oy.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Go Th« Report Urges It to Be an Imperative Duty That Belligerency Be Accorded the Insurgents end That the President Far ther Move Towards tho Independence of the Island—Senator Tillman's Speech. Washington, Jan. 29.—Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala.), from the committee on foreign relations, Tory promptly after tho senate proceedings began, reported the resolution for the recognition of tho belligerent rights bf the Caban in surgents. The senator read the report in foil, stating that it favored action on substitute resolution. The reading of tho resolution and report were followed with close attention by senators. Mr. Cameron (Rep., Pa.) presented a minority report on the Cuban resolu tion from the committee on foreign re lations. Mr. Cameron’s insolation was brief request on the president to in terpose his friendly offices for the re cognition of the independence of Cuba. The report reviewed the conrsb of Pres ident Grant during the former Cuban n seeking to secure the inde pendence of Cuba. Tho resolution was accompanied by a report. The. report says: The congress of the United States deeply regretting the unhappy state of hostili ties existing in Cuba, which has again been tliv result of the demand of a large num ber of the native population of that island for its independence, in a spirit of respect and regard for the welfare of both coun tries, earnestly desires that the security of life and prop -rty and the establishment of permanent peace and of a government that is satisfactory to the people of Cnba should be accomplished. Ana to the ex tent that the people of Cuba are seeking the rights of local self government for do mestic pur oses, the congress of the United States expresses its earnest sym pathy with hem. The congress would . „ also welcome with satisfaction the conees- and west, are urging this policy with the by Spain of complete sovereignty to besotted blindness of Belsnazzar._ ' - -• • • ’ Idchet v Mr. uameron submitted a long report bpon the substitute reviewing the his torical part of the Cuban affair and tho course of President Grant during the Cuban revolt when he was president. Senator Tillman Speaks. Senator Tillman of South Carolina was then recognized and spoke on the financial situation, denouncing Presi dent Cleveland. Following is a synop sis of his speech: Mr. President, it is not saying too much and I feel warranted in charging that the derangement in our finances and all this cry about sound money and maintaining the honor and credit of the United States are all part and parcel of a damnable scheme of robbery, which had for its ob ject. first, the destruction of silver as a money metal; second, the increase of the public debt, the issue of bonds payable in gold; and third, the surrender to corpora tions of the power to issue all paper money, and gives them a monopoly of that function. The responsibility of providing revenue and looking after the solvency of the treasury winch rests with congress, has been usurped by the president. Why is he not impeached f The struggle from 1861 to 1865, which drenched this fair land in blood, was to emancipate 4.000.000 black slaves. We are fast approaching a condition which will place the collar of industrial bondage around the necks of ten times that many white slaves. A day of reckoning will come unless there is no longer a just God in Heaven, and when it does come, woe .be unto those who have been among the op pressors of the people. The present struggle is unfortunately . jo like that*which preceded the late civil War, inasmuch as it is sectional. The creditor and the manufacturing states of the north and east, those which have grown inordinately wealthy at the ex pense of the producing classes of the south commercial welfare of our people that congress cannot be indifferent to the fact ivil war is flagrant among the people ot Cuba. Tho report then sets forth that it is npv.-siibio’to longer overlook the fact that the destructive character of the ;:r is doing serious harm to tho rights id interests of our own people on the and and to our local commerce, tho protecti n and freedom of which is safe guarded by treaty obligations. It is re mind that in former wars of the same liaracter as tho present the United States has always observed all of its duties toward the belligerents. This, the report says, was a difficult task, but it was performed with vigor, impartiality and justice, in the hope that Spain would so ameliorate the con dition of the Cuban people os to give them peace, contentment and prosper ity. This desirable result has not been accomplished. Its failure has not re sulted from any interference on the part of our people or the government with the pe >ple or government of Cuba. The hospitality which our treaties, lairs of nations and the laws of Christianity have extended to Cuban refugees In the United States has caused distrust on the rt of the Spanish government as to the lelity of our government to its obliga tions of neutrality in the frequent insur rections of the people of Cuba against Spanish authority. This distrust has often become a source of serious annov- ;o our people and has led to a Spirit of retaliation towards Spanish authority in Cuba, thus giving rise to frequent troversies. Reference is made to the absence of responsible government in Cnba cause of delay of ^protected imprison ment and property confiscations, also to the fact that these Cuban insurrections have ever proved a temptation to fili- busterers from this country, causing trouble and expense. It is asserted that the devastation of Cuba in the present war that is “being waged with fire and sword” is a cause of unrest among the people of the United States, creating strong ground for protest against its continuance, This straggle, the report says, is rapidly changing the issue to one of existence on the part of a great number of the native population. The repefrt continues: It is neither just to the relations that exist between Cuba and the United States, 's it in keepif; with the spirit of jr the rights of humanity that struggle should be protracted until party or the other should become nansted in the resources of men and money, thereby weakening both until they may fall prey to some strong power, until the stress of human sympathy ~ _ a resentments engendered by long a: bloody conflict should draw into the strife the nnruly elements of neighboring tries. This civil war. though it is great in its proportions, find is com ucted by armies that are in complete organization and di rected and controlled by supreme mili tary authority has not a safeguard of In this feature of the warfare it becomes duty of humanity that the civilized powers should insist upon the applica tions of the laws of war, recognized among civilized nations to both armies. As our own people are drawn into this struggle on both sides, and enter either army with out the consent of our government and in violation of our laws, their treatment when they may be wounded or captured, although it is not regulated by treaty ana ceases to be a positive care of our govern- It is easy to see that the struggle for the new emancipation has begun. There are millions now on the march and they tramp, tramp, tramp; tramp the side walks hunting work and the highways begging bread, and unless relief comes they will some day take a notion to cornu Washington with rifles in their hands to regain the liberties stolen from them or which their representatives have sold. IRON MARKET REVIEWED. although it is not regulated by treaty a ceases to be a positive care of our gore ment. should not be left to the revengeful retaliations which expose them to the fate of pirates or other felons. Attention is called to the inability of Spain to deal with the revolutionists, as a misfortune which it is unfair to visit upon the United States. The report concludes: It is due to the situation of affairs in Cuba that Spain should recognize the ex istence of a state of war in the island and should voluntarily accord to thfc armies opposed to her ..authority the rights of belligerents under the law of nations. In conclusion the report urges it to be an imperative duty that b " _ aocaraed and that the president further move towards the independence of the island. Senator Cameron** Substitute.

' r Chicago, Jan. 29.—The Industrial World says: The pig iron market shows an act ive inquiry in lots of 1,000 to 8,000 tons, bnt orders as yet are slow to follow. Much of this delay is due to the fact that prices are $2.50 to $3.00 higher on northern foundry grades than they were 'ear ago, hence the hesitancy. Fin- led iron and steel are active, and a contract for between 8,000 and 10,000 tons of tank steel for pipe line was placed at an advance of $3 per ton over the price current of the previous week. Billets are higher at $19.50, aud in con siderable demand. “The South Chicago works of tho steel company resumed on double turn Jan. 27, after a shut down of four weeks, with a large tonnage booked. The gen eral outlook is more encouraging.” AGAINST HUNTINGTON. Mayor I itro Making a Strong and, Ho Thinks, Winning Fight. San Francisco, Jan. 29.—Mayor Sn- tro, who is leading the fight against the efforts of C. P. Huntington to secure the passage of a refunding bill by congress for the Central Pacific Railroad com pany, is much pleased with the letter which Huntington caused to be print ' in the Louisville Courier- Journal. The mayor says the fact that Mr. Huntington has seen fit to attack him in print is proof that the railway mag nate is desperate from a realization of the peril of the refunding bill. Mayor Sutro is flooding members of congress, cabinet officers and President Cleveland with documents which he says tend to show the corrupt means used to secure the passage by congress of measures fa- NIGHTINGALE ELECTED.
