Under such e-f_a_a_-alancaa ther*. :s a *:rong temp

anythlng but that. Let ua avold thla. aa well aa the
equally useleas apeculatlon aa to tbe varlous diplo
matic moves whlch may atlll bo made on the inter
natlonal cheaaboard. There ls only one praotloal
aolutlon of the Armenlan queatlon. and that ls the
occupatiou of the country by HuasLa, whose nosltion
and power glve her a unlque quallflcatlon tor thla
work. She ahould have aa free a hand In Armenia
aa England haa Inalsted on havlng .n Egypt. iiy
frankly admltttng thla, England would do mueh to
conctlilate the other Powera now hostlle to her, and
would etre_gtben her own poaltlon ln Egypt, and
rh? w rk of p.-iclfying Bsntern Turkey would be
undertak. n by Rusala at on ?
Hut all this is ln ?i certaln aense none of our b

Edward M. Shepavd made a Btrong appeal for
the Ar.-n-nlan-.. Hc aald England con 1. If she
would, put an end to the horrlble atrocltles whlch
have stained wlth blood th- mountalna and val

rcpresenting the best Engliah sontini.nt. "If
England," sald he. "ls not wllllng to put a .rn;,
to th? atrocltlea, lat her not l"? Hke a dog in the
rnanger. If RuasJa is willing t > take Armenia,
iot her in all faith d > It, f * any BltUBtlon ia bet?
ter for that unbappy people than tlie pravailing
regiine of crlme, plllaga and carnage.
"If we asat-rnbled here to-night oun in any way
allevlate the sufrerings of tha Annenlana, let
Bro klyn come forward nnd aa B Chrlatlan coai
munlty do what, l;i the name cf hURianlty, ls
requlred of her."
The Rev. Dr. Storrs. who foUowed Mr. Bbepard,
Bal i. In part:
"We are not here. of eourae, for the indlsT-rlm
inate condemnatlon of the Turklah people. I
have known for many years, through the truat
worthy lOUrcea Of eye-witnesses, that ani.ng the
Turks are many klnd, honeat and peaceably
dlS] used people. The Bultan, on his part. Is nol
as vi-ious as some of his prad ceaaora. He is a
devoul Mahometan aml rulea as his envlronmenta
and Idea. dlctate."
Dr. Btorra then proceeded t.i give a hlBtory of
Ttukish mlsruie and Inridents In thelr hlatory
whlch led to the later atrocltlea nnd maaaacrea
of the Armenlan people. Contlnulilg, h? sald:
The most pathettC deser'.ptlons of these people
and thelr country whlch have come under
my observatlon have been those of Engliah
writers. wrl'ten by men and women Of what they
aaw nnd heard in Armenia. Thire has tn"'n no
revoluttonary movement to Juetlfy or excuae this
lntolerable slaughter. We must giv- -h.-m our sym
pathv In large .-ontrlbutlons. I hope we ahall ...
that'lmmedlate'v. ani ln proportion to the inagni
tude of the auffertng. Bemember that ther.- are
fullv 4*0Ouu peonle abeolutely perlahlng from r-tar
vatlon, from cold and from disease. Th.'.r timiia
were taken from them. and they were obllged to
flee wlthout any clothlng. ex.-rpt what they had on
them. and ln whlch they escaped from the .?.-,ne of
thelr perll. The commlttee in New-York has alreany
sent large suma for thelr relief. The Armenlan
Hoard in Hoston has sent J46,Or?J. most of whb-h wenl
