Prlueipnlly for the Righting of

Sympathy and Aid of American*.
Loudon, Aug. 18.—(Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)—G. Hagopian,
chairman of the Armenian Patriotic Asso
ciation Id England, speaking of the recent
massacres, eaid to a representative of the
Associated Press:
‘ The Armenians have been surprised by
dispatches announcing another massacre
in the very region where the first Arme
nian slaughter occurred this same month,
August. 1894. They hopevl that the intelli
gence of the dispatches had been un
founded. but their deep regret has been
confirmev by later adv Lie furnished by 1
the British consuls at Erzcroum and
Diarbekir, both of which towns are close
to the region where the massacre occur
red, and are the headquarters of provin
cial governors.
“In answer to impudent denials of the
Porte, put forward by the Ottoman em
bassy in Jx>ndon, the foreign office itself
communicated confirmation of the news
of the outrages Attempts are being made
to disassociate the Sultan and the Otto
man Porte from participation in these
atrocities, but when it is taken into con
sideration that the general of the Fourth
Turkish Army Corps, which guards the
Caucasus, was present with his troops and
that these were aided by the local Kurds,
whom the Sultan lias always aided and
assisted in their nefarious deeds, it is im
possible for the central authorities at
Constantinople to escape responsibility for
what has occurred.
“As for the Armenians themselves, gen
erally sptakiig, their conduct since the
massacres at Constantinople in 1894 has
b en exemplary. They have preferred to
leave their cause In the hands of the great
I’owtrs of Europe, who made the Turkish
settlement, as regards the maintenance
of the machinery, such as it is, cf the Ot
toman Empire, leaving the latter to per
form a duty which they have, with full
knowledge of all ihe circumstances of
Turkish rule, taken upon th< ms elves by
the Sixty-first Article of the Treaty of
Berl n. That article, signed at Berlin,
July 13, 1878, stipulated as follows:
“ ‘That the Sublime Porte undertakes to
carry out without further delay the ame
lioration reforms demanded by local re
quirements in the provinces inhabited by
Armenians and guarantees their secur
ity against Circassians and Kurds. It
will periodically make known the steps
taken to this effect to the rowers, who
will supervise their application.’
“Fortunately, it was due to British pol
icy and action that the great Powers as
sembled in Berlin and there revised the
treaty of San Stefano, of which article
16 related to Armenia. * Therefore, the
Armenians have always looked to Great
Britain to take the lead in the matter.
British public opinion since 1884 has been
so much excited that Her Majesty’s gov
ernment could not compel i<s ally, Tur
key, to fulfill the Sultan’s solemn promise
in so simple a matter as the security and
protection, not only of the Armenians,
but of all the Christians in Asiatic Tur
key in their lives, honor, property and
religion.
The Armenians have ever found a sym
pathetic friend in the United Slates. They
gratefully recall the philanthropic and
Christian succor Americans have given
their widows and orphans after great mas
sacre®, and which they still continue to
give, and on the occasion of this last
massacre they would earnestly entreat the
American people and government of the
United States to use their undoubted in
fluence with the Powers, and ask rhem
to fulfill the auties which they have un
dertaken toward the Armenian people,
In the Interests of right and justice, in
the historic provinces, so dear to all
Christian people.’*

LEGISLATI HE MEETS TUESDAY.
Kentucky’s Election Law I* To Be
Annulled.
Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 25.—The Legisla
ture meets Tuesday in special session for
the puri>ose of amending the Mote elec
tion law". Gov. AJeckham will send a brief
message to the Legislature, with brief
suggestions regarding the changes.
It is apparent that nearly every Demo
cratic member will come with a measure
of his own and that the Democratic legis
lative caucMs will have to decide among
them. About a dozen members have de
clared in favor of the Ohio election law.
The advocates of this bill declare that
the Ohio law is similar in some parts to
th* Goebel law of this state and that to
adopt it w ill be to disarm the Republicans
from their present argument against the
statute in this state. The Republican
members of both houses will meet in cau
cus Tuesday night. It is not settled
whether they will put forward any party
measure as a substitute for the Goebel
law.
YAQUIS WANT PEACE.
They Dc*lre To Be Reinstated on
Their Re*ervntlon.
Dallas, Tex., Aug. 25.—A special to the
News from El Paso, Tex., says:
“The Yaqui Indians in the state of So
nora, Mex., tvho have been at war with
the Mexican government for over a year,
are now suing for peace and endeavoring
to be reinstated: on their former reserva
tion and retain their property. Petabyte
and Batamatal, two prominent Yaquis,
arrived here from Hermoeillo last night
and gave out this information.
ißatomatal stated that about 2,000 of the
Yaquis are still holding out against the
government, but he thinks they will sur
render. The movement for peace was
brought about by the peaceful Yaquis on
t the west coast, who were actuated to the
move through fear that Yaquis would be
scattered throughout the republic and
the tribe practically exterminated.
ITALIANS PROTESTED.
Did Not Like the Recent Action of
Dr. Rouchet.
Washington. Aug. 25.—A protest has
been sent to the papal legation here by
the leading Italians of Louisville, Ky.,
against the recent action of Very Rev.
Dr. Bouehet, vicnr general of that dio
cese, in refusing o conduct a solemn mor
tuary service in honor of King Humbert's
memory.
It appears that Father Bouehet had con
sented to offer a simple low mass for
this purpose, but declined to hold any
more elaborate service. Archbishop Jlar
tlnelll has the right In this country of
disciplining any priest or prelate for
breach of duty, but since the present ee
tion of Very Rev. Dr. Bouehet, is no
infraction of the moral law. it is evident
that neither himself nor his local su
perior, Bishop McClosky, will incur any
severe penalty.

THE CHINESE SITUATION
IJikcusMil by an Anthorit > — Russia
and China, He Believe*, Will
Co-operate lu Mutunl
Interest.
(Special Correspondence Associated Prews.)
London, Aug. 18.—John \V. Book waiter
of Ohio, whose recent books on Siberian
and Asiatic problems have been much
quoted in recent English papers, in an in- j
terview with a representative of the As- j
soda ted Press, said in part:
There are two chief considerations in j
this Asiatic problem. Finst, the double
relation that Russia occupies towards
China, and that which Russia occupies
tow ard England, through her dependenc}. j
India, for since the building and opera- !
tion of the great trans-Siberian and trana- i
Caspian Railroad systems, Russia has
been brought into direct contact with '
China from the Hinterland. It is ob- j
vlous, therefore, that Russia is the mos;
potent factor in directing events which
will determine what the future relations |
of the various nations snail be in the ;
Asiatic continent.
“The importance of these railroad sys
tems and their bearing upon the Asiatic
s tuation. and especially upon China, 1
pointed out nearly two ytars ago in my
book on Siberia and Central Asia. 1 then
said that this system would have more
•far-reaching political, commercial and
even ethnological influence than any oth
er industrial or economic scheme that had
ever been conceived or executed. it
has already thrown England into
a state of alarm for the safety
of India and has caused that descent of
other nations upon the Chinese littoral,
where, in a limited area, there is to be
much future strife, wrangling and, per
haps, profitless warfare.’
“You can see how rapidly this predic
tion has already been fulfilled. It is
hardly likely that the contest between
Western civilization, represented wholly
by quantities, against Eastern civiliza
tion, represented by qualities, which must
Inevitably occur, sooner or later, would
have developed at the*present time had it
not been for the building of these great
railroad lines, the effect of which would
be to establish a practical dominance of
Russia In Asiastie countries and which
might be regarded as a menace to those
nations now holding spheres of influence
there, as well as to those who see in the
possible partition of China opportunities
for territorial aggrandizement. As an in
dication of this change, it Nray be said
that Russia was, ten years ago, the fur
iherest nation awny from China, sepa
rated by impassable steppes, and without
a navy, while all the others European
Powers could reach the Chinese littoral
by water.
“The building of these reailroad sys
tems has rapidly changed the entire situ
ation, bringing China, politically and
commercially, to the very doors of Rus
sia and making a conterminous border of
4,000 to 5,000 miles. In fact, it brings
China in physical contact with the Rus
sian empire alone, her contact with oither
nations being only through the depen
dencies of those nations.
“In view of these important facts it
is easy to see what is to be the proba
ble relation of Russia to China, which
seems to can only be of the most
friendly character, and to that end the
maintenance of the integrity of the Chi
nese Empire, especially the middle part,
is of paramount Importance. I believe
that w r hen a general showing o-f hands is
made, it will be apparent that if there
is not an actual alliance between Russia
an<l China, there will be found to be an
intimate cot-operation for the mainte
nance of their political and commercial
interests.’*
POLICE HAVE CU E.

When M. Loubet was elected President,
eighteen months ago. France tottered on
the edge of revolution and anarchy. Look
how M. Loubet has lived down his un
popularity and safely steered the ship of
the republic through tho rocks of the
Dreyfus affair and military revoM.
The explanation Is simple. M. Lou
bet smokes a pipe. None of France’s
rulers for years past have smoked. True,
M. Felix Faure, the late President, puff
ed cigarettes. But they don’t count. To
smoke is to be a statesman, and M. Lou
bet’s neat brier spells stability as surely
as cigarettes mean weakness.
Kruger’s Two Pipes.
Kruger is a great man. The way he
has raised the ‘Transvaal, engineered its
affairs and attempted to throw off tho
yoke of the British power in South Africa
proves Ills power. Oom Patti’s pipe Is
historical. I T p to a year ago it was a
home-made article. The bowl a German
visitor left behind. To it Mr. Kruger at
tached a stem from a Kaffir pipe, and
the mouthpiece he made himself.
The legend runs that this pipe, in which
he has smoked all hi* policy for twenty
years, has been inseparably connected
with his affair*. When he got the inde
pendence of the Transvaal returned in
1881 the stem broke. Just before the
Jameson raid a bit was chipped off the
china bowl. When the murder of Edgar
occurred, which led to the renal attend*’ of
the Outlendens’ agitation, and culminated
in this war, the pipe fell to the ground
and was smashed to fragment*.
A year ago he had a pipe specially made
in Dublin. It i of brier, and the bow),
carved with the Transvaal coat-of-arms,
hold* an ounce of tobacco. Two stems of
cut vulcanite—one long and one short
can be fitted at pleasure. There 1* no
doubt that this pipe made Kruger lose
hie usual caution and pend the ultimatum.
Hi* i>ent brier i* the favorite bluff of
King Leopold of Belgium, and Is the key
note to his government of the people.
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, is a prince
ling of weak ambitions. He puffs a spe
cially made pipe of meerschaum and am
ber. which cost him $3,000. No man could
be wise and statesmanlike with such n
pil>e.
A Long-Felt Want.
If the first and second fingers of a man’*
hand are stained yellow on their innsr
surface, the disciple of Sherlock Holmes
W'4l conjecture that the man Is a cigar
ette smoker; and if the hand Is also trem
ulous, that he, smoke* cigarette* in ex
eeas The habitual pipe-smoker also is
likely to leave a mark on hi* hand; It
is on tho extremity of the little finger
of the left hand, and Is a mark produced
by burning. This is because he uses
that finger to stop his pipe.
The problem of pipe-stopping present*
some difficulties. They must be faced, be.
cause, unquestionably, the pipe must be
stopped. Stopping is essential to cool and
pleasant smoking. When the tobacco
works up lose after smoking, or when It.
burns unevenly, the pipe-smoker is likely
to remedy matters with the little Anger
of the left hand. Now, the little finger is
not a thoroughly efficient pipe stopper.
It gets burned, and. owing to the pain, is
removed rapidly, before the work is near
ly complete. Also a finger which has Just
been used for stopping a pipe does not look
pretty; purists might consider the habit
uncleanly, though the ash of an aromatic
herb Is not dirt. Against this we have to
remember that the smoker always hat* hi*
little finger with him, and other form* of
stopper not always. He can use It when,
but for that finger, the pipe would have
to go unstopped. And even if he ha* an
artificial stopper in hi* pocket or on the
table beside him, the use of It involves
two actions, picking it up and applying
it, while the use of the natural stopper
only involves one. This is an important
consideration; the perfect smoker will
never take any unnecessary trouble, and
never bother himself with needless ap
paratus.
So far we have seen that both the me
chanical and the natural stopper have
their advantages and disadvantage*. The
mor* general use of the mechanical
stopper Ik desirable.-though the little fin
ger will still be used in emergencies. And
this general use would be brought about
more easily if tobacco stoppers, In com*
mon with most other apparatus for the
smoker, were not designed and manufac
tured by Idiots who do not smoke and can
not think.

Tills little combination can be procured
from any respectable tocubbonist. The
base of tho stopper is of the right size,
but the use of it Involves three actions
picking It up, separating It from its use
less companions, and stopping the pipe.
This is 100 much trouble.
There is also manufactured a knife with
a tobacco stopper a! one end of it. It is
one of those knives designed to provide
it* possessor at all times with numerous
tools and weapons which he would never
want. The stopper could only be used
when the pipe was full and Just lit, as the
knife handle was too thick to enter the
howl of a pipe. This is to say, It was
a stopper which, in 50 per cent, of the
cases where a stopper is required, would
have been useless.
T believe there is a demand for tobacco
*topi>ers, both for the table and the pock
et, if they were made with some appreci
ation of the purpose for which they are
intended. Those who smoke while they
write or draw' do not need to be told that
the ordinary cedar pencil makes a fair
pipe stopper. Penholders might be Just
a* useful, but the ordinary wooden pen
holder generally tapers to a point. How
ever, penholders with a pipe-stopping
end can be procured. And thits is the
perfection of pipe-stopping, to use for it
some implement which you are already
using for a different purpose. For then
but one action is required, and you have
the advantage of the natural stopper
without the disadvantage*.
FROZE HIS HAND.
When the Thermometer Registered
inn Degrees In the Stiude.
Slouk Falls (8. D.) Cor. Chicago Record.
To have his hand so badly frozen that
amputation was for a time seriously con
sidered, when the thermometer registered
100 degrees In the shade, has not been th
experience of many men, yet Harry
Knowles, a bartender In an Aberdeen sa
loon, had this peculiar experience the
other day. For charging beer in kegs
and forcing it to flow through the pipes
in the bar faucet carbonic acid gas is
used. This comes in liquefied form, and
Is stored in cylinders strong enough to
withstand a pressure of several thousand
pounds to the square inch. These cylin
ders are usually charged to a pressure
of about 1,500 pounds, and a safely plug
is gauged to blow out at 2,400 pounds
pressure. The gas Is not unlike liquid air
when It Is permitted to escape and come
In contact with the atmosphere, and cre
ates a very low temperature.
The safety plug blew out of a cylinder
In the saloon where Knowles was employ
ed, when the proprietor was out, and, not
understanding the nature of the gas,
Knowles picked up a damp towel and at
tempted to hold it over the aperture and
stop the flow of escaping gns. It took but
a few moments to freeze the towel stiff,
and the young man did not discover that
the excessive cold had also frozen his
hand, until the proprietor stepped Into
the room and told him to let the gas go,
as nothing could stop It, Knowles then
discovered what had happened to his
hand. He put It In charge of n doctor,
who says the hand will be saved, but the
victim suffers a great deal of pain, and
will be laid up for several weeks.

SIMULATED ABMIRMITT.
Carina* Power of Negro Who Seems
to Have Deceived Many Physicians.
From the Philadelphia Medical Journal.
An nged colored individual Is making
tho rounds of the physicians* offices and
hospitals, exhibiting himself as a man
with two heart*. He also claims to bo
able to displace his heart* into the ab
dominal cavity. He has traveled widely
in this country and has been in Europe.
There Is no evidence whatever that the
man has two heart*, nor i there any
aign that an aneurism exists. When he
is about to “dislocate his heart” he u*ks
the examiner first to listen with the steth
oscope or phonendoscope over the normal
cardiac area for the heart sounds. He
then twists and con fort* himself In va
rloue ways, using actively the muscles
of the anterior abdominal wall. As he
does thl* there la seen io rise suddenly
iit the left Iliac region a rounded, pear
shaped prominence, which Is pulsatile and
to which he now risks the examiner to
apply tho stethoscope. An obscure
rhythmio wound i heard over the area,
which is the size of a large fist, and
which conveys io the palpitating hand c*
sensation swelling, though less prominent,
on the right side.
With a great show of effort he holds the
prominence on one or the other aide for
about twenty seconds. If the exanlinor.
Instead of listening over the supposed
heart, places his stethoaoo-pe in the normal
situation of the valve pointß, he readily
! detects the heart sounds in practically
| undlminished intensity. Moreover, j>er
| rusttlon over the supposed hearts gives
| n more or le*u? tympanitic note. The man
ha* evidently by long practice gained t*
jtocullar control over the superficial ab
<k>minal muscles—such as some persons
have over the scalp and ears—by means
of which he is able to throw a certain
eection into prominence and to produce a
rhythmic vibration that closely simulates,
both in character and rate, the pulsation
of the heart.
THE SHIRT WAIST MAN.
AVnlsts That Have Been Deslamed fo
Hts Needs.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Evidently the shirtwaist man 1* hero to
slay, for several Chestnut street shop*
have already displayed special men*
shirtwaists to satisfy the demand. There
io trouble In the camp, too, for the girls
don't altogether like It. They are slight
ly jealous ait this usurpation of what they
consider is exclusively thelrtt, besides, they
say, the man's shirtwaist hasn't yet been
unanimously stamped good form by tha
smurt set. The men, au contraire, claim
that their sisters, cousins, sweethearts,
wives, first took the shirtwaist Idea from
them and now are wearing their collar,
tie and shoes.
These masculine shirtwaist* are Just,
"cute" made in all the latest and most
desirable colorings and white. One par
ticularly pretty one was of pole yellow
with white satin stripes. There was a
tucked or pleated bosom effect, both back
aml front, from five to seven each side,
according to the size of the pleats. An
other mode) was In striped blue and white
gingham, cut somewhat like a loose
b'ouse, falling from n narrow yoke across
tho shoulders. As displayed on the form
It is evidently Intended to fall very full
over a leather belt. Attached cuffs and
a guaranteed fit, so as to prevent all
objection* as to untidiness—rx*n,plee what
seems to be, from all present indications,
the coming warm weather garment for
men.
