Closely on Anarchy.

Value of Telephone Apparatus.
New York, May 28. —'Illinois, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Indiana
and New Jersey reported 631 of the
784 establishments making electrical
apparatus, their output being 90.1 per
cent of the total. The increase in
total capital was greatest in Pennsyl
vania. The total value of telephone
apparatus manufactured in 1905 was
815,863,608, as compared with $lO,-
512,412 for 1900. An apparent fall
ing off in the production c/ telegraph
apparatus from $1,642,266 in 1900 to
$1,111,194 in 1905, is accounted for
in part by the growing customs tynong
the larger telegraph systems of making
and repairing their own apparatus.
Probable Reason for Murder.
New York, May 28.—Notwith
standing that the motive for the mur
der of Father Kaspar Valorian, 'the
Armenian priest, whose body was
lound Sunday jammed into a trunk
In a West Thirty-Eighth street >ouse,
is not yet clear, some facts have
been learned which may dTSpel all the
doubts as to why the priest was slain.
Father Kaspar, according to some wit
nesses who have been found, was a
clergymaß and was identified with an
Armenian secret revolutionary society
in this city. It appears further that
recently the revolutionaries in the lo
cal Armenian colony split and that
much bad blood was engendered by
the division.

borers will be discharged by the rail
roads which have abandoned new work
and new extensions, owing to the dif
ficulty of raising money.

tiring Friday night. He went away
with one man, presumably k friend,
carrying a pistol. Shots were heard
three hours later by his wife and six
