MORE ARMENIANS MASSACRED HAOOFIAS i>is< usses the wrongs OF His COUNTRY MEN. Declare* tlie Sultan and the Porte Guilty of Complicity—Reftponnibil ity Cannot Be Shifted Prom Them. Armenian* Look, to Great Britain Prlueipnlly for the Righting of Their Wronjj* —Are Grateful for the 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.’* POPULATIONS MADE PUBLIC.

AJeckham will send a brief message to the Legislature, with brief suggestions regarding the changes.

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.

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. OFFERED REDITED RATES.

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. Are Now Trying to Locate the Sehnrn Girl's Caller. New York, Aug. 25.—After seven days, something has been found upon which the police may go to work In the Scharn murder case. They have learned that Catherine Scharn was In the habit of re ceiving a male visitor In her flat on Sat urday evenings.

Growing Confidence That the Capi tal Will Remain There. Tallahassee, Fla., Aug. 25.—Each day's developments ir. the capital location cam paign seem to give additional confidence to the members of the Tallahassee Cap ital League that the people will, in No vember, vote by a handsome majority to retain the seat of state government in this city.

West and Middle Florida seem to be practically solid against removal, and in formation received from Eastern and Pe ninsular Florida, leads to the belief that the same sentiment is rapidly growing in those sections.

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.

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.

Never Used Hut Once. The writer Ims only once known it to be used. It was by a man who thought 1: was meant for cleaning the unsmoked residuum from the bowl of his pipe. He blocked the draught In using it, was two milts from the near, at hairpin, land had to wait. 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. AIMED AT THE EDITORS.

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.
