i M By A treaty; entered into ai Berlin
in the year 1878 between Turkey nnd
various other government*, Turkey un
dertook to guarsotee protection to the
Armenians and agreed that It wouW

taken to this effect So the powers, who
will superintend their application.
"Our government was not a party to
this treaty and It is entirely obvious that
in tho face of the provisions of such a
treaty abovo recited our Interference in
the purposed investigation, especially
without the Invitation of any of the
powers which had assumed by the treaty
to secure the protection of the Armen
ians, might have been exceedingly embar
rassing. if not entirely beyond the limits
flof Justification or propriety.
“The Turkish invitation to Join the In
vestigation set ori foot by that govern
ment wgs therefore, on the 2*1 day of
December, declined. On tho same day.
and after this declination had been sent
our minister .in Constantinople wired
bis second dispatch tending to modify his
former report as to the extent and char
acter of the Armenian slaughter; ot the
same firm; the request of the sultan for
our participation in the Investigation was
repestod, and Great Drltatn. one of the
powers which Joined In the treaty of
Derlln. mode n like request.
“In view of the changed conditions and
upon reconsideration of the subject. It
was decided to send Mr. Jewett, consul at
CJvns, to the scene of the alleged out
rages, not for the purpose of Joining with
any other government in on investigation
us our representative, but that he might
be able to inform this government as to
tho extent and truth.
“Instructions to this end were sent Mr.
Jewett, and it is supposed that he hns
already entered upon the duty assigned
him.

the president suggested Hint the peti

concluding by oaflinffHtttctntiaii to the
necessity of strengthening tiho common

At tljo ooinelustou Of tho reading ot
the budget statement Count Posadow-
sky, secretary of tho Imperial treasury,
addressed the relchstag In support of
the government's fijMrtclat proposl-
Hoi*, purtldfiarly expVaiolng nnd de
fending tho projected financial reforms.
Dr. Badhem, on behalf of the centre
party, raid the centrists Itad often been
engaged in heated opposition to tho
first two ctnwicetlors; ncverheless, they
l*d supported cliancellorH upon tho
more material questions, and ..would
ouufUmie to itutwuu, the atute,, pfilcy.
They would follow that coutso with
prudence, however, tn view of the mu
tability <xf certain human re-toruttohs
oral the latter-day Mutability of mla-
IsterlaJ places.
Count Posiutowsky ettlied attention 1 to
it charge made by Herr Richter In hi»
■paper that the government had made
an artificial budget, allowing deficits,
While there was really a sur;rtus. Tats
charge Is omphsittlcally denied. Ho ad
mitted that u uurplua existed, but this
wns due, lie said, to tho unexpectedly
largo revenue realized froth Hie bourse
tax. •
Herr Richter denounced the govern
ment's policy of having recourse to
now taxes. He cast discredit upon the
sOK-alted organic finance refurin be-
tsvx-en the empire nnd the freleml
states. The liberals, ho declared, would
never susetu to nnythtng which lm-
pultxxl the tight of the relchstag to
grant a budget annually. He referred
to the fall of Chancellor von Caprlvi as
Inexplicable. A newspaper would pos
sibly laid to a change of editors; but
why, he asked the ctharfcellOr, would
Dr. von Boeltlcher, minister of the
Interior, who countersigned Gen. Ca
pri Vi’s discharge, reply! Perhaps as a
minister responsible, to tite relchstag,
he couhl explain. (Applause and laugh
ter.)
In regard to Dr. von Lmsenu'e hand
tn fhe matter of'tlle rcttgusitlon, Herr
Richter asked Chancellor von Hobea-
lolto to prevxnt In future the ohtef af
the civil cabinet from playing the part
ot bringing the silk cord to,the various
ministers. (Laughter.) ;
Richter expressed the hope That no
Prutwlon premier would ever' to far
forgot htnisolf as to make are proposals
of his cabinet capable Of realization
only by a coup d’etat.-High -treason
and revolution from above, he Bald,
would,provoke revolution bekrw.
Dr. von BoetUcher, vcplytug to Rich*
ter, declined to divulge tlto emperor's
reasons for '(uvepUng Choravltor von
Oaprtrl’s rraVnJttton. -He rcjs-lled the
Insinuation that tiny minister ewom to

The ooratedt over the chairmanship of

decidedly more IniOrroang than has
been supposed oven, by Chose wlio have
be.® taking an activq part in the nra't-
ttr.
It Is geooraJly conceded Oioit the con-
ttet to beoareen. Chairman wo tem
Bfierry and Alderman Plodiay, and that
no Wh(T names will be meniHoned In
toe corrawt. The friends of each of
these gentlemen are doing all tn their
power for their favorites among both
the old and now aldermen, but so far
as cait be learae dthe vbte how stands
0 awl S, with two aldermen in doubt.
This tsdne? tliie case, 'the two aldermen
<n doubt) hold the IbaJlancc of power, and
great Influence wHl be brought to bear
on them for Wielr support.
If the contest is not net tied' before It
goes to a vote In the council chamber.
It to highly probable that the fliBt ac
tion of the now council will cause the
drawing of fwotloaal linen that will not
be easiy eliminated during the year. It
to highly probable, however, dint before
tho moitUng tonight each oandDAvte will

the election will bo unanimous. It is
ih-jrdly probable that there will be any
