RELIEF FOR ARMENIANS.
Noble Work to Aid the Children of
ilurtyred rnrunts.
The horror with which all Christendom
contemplates the fiendish atrocities or
Spain cannot divert the attention of hu
mane, God-fearing people from the suf
ferings of the Armenians at the hands of
their Turkish oppressors. The practices
pursued by both nations in the accom
plishment of their barbarous purposes are
substantially the same and equally ab
horrent, and the universal sympathy felt
for the poor persecuted Armenians has
taken practical form in extending llnan
cial aid to the unfortunate people.
The national Armenian relief commit
tee has just Issued an Interesting and
eoniprehenslve report giving the latest in
formation at their command from Tur
key; This information is embodied in
communications received by the commit
tee from American missionaries, diplo
mats, and Christian workers of all de
nominations now on - the ground, and
clearly Indicates the necessity foe prompt
and liberal contributions to the Armen
ian relief fund, that there may be no ces
sation of the work now being carried on.
Air. AA AA Poet, treasurer of the Amer
ican missions in Turkey, writes:
"Don't relax your efforts. It simply
wont do to let this matter drop. In some
way wc must carry our children through,
or "the latter end of this relief will be
worse than the first. There are now at
least 3.500 children In the care of the mis
sionaries, and many more are in need of
care. The future of only I.OOO is provided
for by pledges. They should be kept for
five years. AVe simply can't ignore the
situation. The ability to meet the needs
ofthese orphans is the one thing that has
supported the missionaries through the
trying limes following the massacres.
This is surely a humanitarian appeal to
which people of all creeds and of no
creed should respond."
The orphan homes at Harpoot are un
der the efficient management of Airs.
Alary E. Barntim, who cites numerous in
stances of the results of Turkish out
rages that have come under her immedi
ate notice, and of which the following
may be taken as a fair example:
"In one of the homes is a young girl
with a scarred face. Her parents were
both killed and she received a cut across
her nose. She held the parts together as
she fled to the house of a Turkish neigh-
Mior, and the wound has healed. One lit
tle boy of six has a misshapen head be
cause a part of the skull was cut off
with a sword. He is a dear little fellow
Another boy was wounded in two places
on his head, and ills left hand is disabled.
Alany of the parents were killed, others
died from want, fear and suffering after
the massacres, and the children were left
destitute. Some have mothers who are
barely able to keep themselves alive by
begging, as work is not to be found. In
a few cases the mothers have married
again, but the step-father has been un
able or unwilling to care for her children,
too."
All communications received by the
committee from Turkey prove conclusive
ly that the Turkish policy toward the Ar
menians is that of wholesale murder with
the amiable desire of exterminating the
race, and in the opinion of a well-informed
writer, it is apparent that "Tur
key will never organize practical re
forms. Not all the powers of Europe can
force them on her. She doesn't know how
to reform. Is quite content to remain as
she is. hates all innovations, even when
they come in the shape of improve
ments." The national Armenian relief committee
is now the oilly organization in this
country raising funds to save some of the
S0;O00 helpless Armenian children or
phaned by the massacres and, .except for
the efforts of this committee, about 2,000
of these io"or, homeless, friendless chil
dren wOUId have been cast out again into

Gov.
IMngree'M Address Somewhat
Pessimistic.
Lansing, Alich., Feb. 22. In his ad
dress of welcome at the Michigan Club
banquet tonight. Gov. Pingree cited
his election as proof that the people of
the State demand equal and impartial
taxation of all individuals, a reduction
in railroad tariffs and rates and all
other forms of indirect taxation and
a fearless opposition to trusts, pools
and all conspiracies against trade in
violation of the Federal statutes.
The failure of the legislature to en
act any laws to enforce these demands
was laid at the door of the leaders of
the party, and he informed the leaders
that the best way to have party har
mony was to get in touch with what
the people so plainly demanded, pre
dicting that if this? is not done the
party, both in the State and nation,
would go under.

Lieul. Sobral, who is, or is not, the

arrived in the city last night and Is now
Quartered at the legation.
Sobral has always made it a rule to
stay at one of the hotels when he was In,

for many months at a time. Now, when,
according to Senor Du Bosc. the charge

There is no doubt felt by anybody now
that Sobral did give utterance to the
words derogatory to the American Navy
that were attributed to him by a New
York newspaper man on Saturday. It is
not doubted either thut he was connected
with the legation at the time he talked
so loudly, despite the assertion of the
Spanish charge d'affaires that he had
been relieved by the Spanish government
nearly a? month before. Air. Du Bosc was
not aware of the message of condolence
that Sobral sent to the Stale Department
last week when he told the story of So
bral's recall. This is indisputable evi
dence thut Dit Bosc was using "diplo
macy" when he made this statement, di-
piomacy oi ttic Spanish Kind, it is sur-
' Prising that Sobral did not keep Du Bosc
I better informed of his movements.
Alore evidence of an indisputable kind
that Sobral was making no untruthful
boast when he told of his thorough
knowledge of the secret charts and maps
of tho Government fortifications, and'of
his complete understanding of the entiro
defense of every city on the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, was discovered last night.
He not only did visit all the fortifications
and make accurate observations, and
even obtain maps of them, with the help
of some person or persons connected with
this Government, but he employed assist
ants in his work, who traveled through
the country as. "tourists," and he did- it
all for the Spanish government and at
their orders and at their expense.
When the charge was made some
months ago alint Sobral was doing this,
he was seen by a reporter at his hotel
and asked the direct question if he had
been South on such a mission. He said:
"I have been In New York. I have just
arrived from there on the last train. I
have not been in the South."
This was wholly untrue. The gentle
man had only a little while before arrived
from tho South by a train from Charles
ton. He had been seen to leave this train
and the porter at tin. time save or.t tt.e
Information that he had traveled from the
South on It. On this trip Sobral had been
on a visit to one of the coast defenses.
Another Incident of not long since is
very easy of verification. Two seedy
looking and altogether unpleasant ap
pearing specimens registered at one of
the prominent hotels In the early part
of December. They signed their names on
the register Carlos Buoao-Cores and Luis
Chumada, and told thJ story that they
were Chileans on a trip of pleasure.
These men were interview by a Times
reporter. They statel that they had been
induced by the Cuban junta in Chile to
go to Cuba and j.-in the Cuban army.
They had been captured by the Spanish
and were confined in a Spanish pnsjn
for a long time, they .- aid. These enter
taining fakirs said that they were pre
paring a statement for a Xvr Vork news
paper with a reporter s help that would
explode many of the stories of the Span
ish cruelty to the Cuban prisoners. They
said that they had been most humanely
treated by the prison authorities. Alore
than that, they stated that they had ob
served the war for many months, and
were very sure that it Spain were allowed
to prosecute the extermination of the
Cubans a short time longer the complete
victory of Spain would be assured.
The Times reporter denounced the two
men the next day as Spanish employes.
They had promised to give him a copy of
their valuable newspaper story, but were
hustled out of town the next day as soon
as the interview in The Times was pub
lished. It Is now learned that these men were
met by a messenger from the Spanish
legation as soon as they reached the
city, that they had several long talks
with the legation peaple, although they
never visited the legation, and that, they
were the guests of De Lome at their hotel
during their stay. It Is also ascertained
that they went South with Sobral to Fort
Alonroe and very likely to other fortifi
cations. A Postofflce Fight Settled.
The lonsr-vcxed Winstcd, Conn., potofilcc field,
whicli Iijs been pending fiffy years, was settled

ADVOCATES COWARDICE.
A New York Fnper Thinks We
Should. Not Offend Europe
New York, Feb. 22. The Tory New York
Evening Post Is, of course, In favor of
peace at any price. It has, however, sur
prised even AVall street by advancing na
tional cowardice as a reason for not tak
ing decisive action against Spain. The
Evening Post today says in an editorial:
"It may turn out that Spain has allies
that we know not of. Jt has been hinted
more than once that France coasldera
tho revenues of Cuba pledged to her
citizens for the security- of bond issued
by Spain and negotiated in Paris. Some
governments consider themselves bound
to protect the investments made by their
citizens in good faith in foreign securi
ties and in foregn lands. Others do not.
The only government that has formally
announced to Its subjects that they must
take their risks in lending money to for
eigners is Great Britain. Both 'Franco
and Germany hold themselves at liberty
to collect the pecuniary claims of their
subjects at the cannon's mouth. The
Spanish debt is almost wholly owned In
France, and for a considerable part of it
the revenues of Cuba have been expressly
plcdged. Now it is a noteworthy fact
that there has been no serious decline in
these securities on the Paris Exchange.
Something holds up the price In" spite of
all tho gloom surrounding the Spanish
finances. If France has notified us that
she will look to us for the paymeift of
this part of the Spanish debt in case we
make forcible interference in that island,
all that we can say is that her right to
do so will be just as good as our right of
interference. Both of these assumed
rights may be vrong. but we cannot
amrni that ours Is any whit superior.
There is talk In AVashlngton of our as
suming this Cuban debt by guaranteeing
the outstanding bonds, That raises the
interesting question whether we are to
guarantee them in gold, if at all. Will
our Jingo Senate ever agree td that?
"This Is only one of the many possible
embarrassments that await us In the
event of forcible Interference In Cuba.
The first and immediate question would
relate to our finances. Under this head
we have been asked by an anxious cor
respondent of the Evening Post 'whether
in case or war with Spain the gold stand
ard In this country would be seriously
threatened.' The answer is that any
thing which culls for large expenditure
threatens the gold standard In the same
way that it was threatened at the begin
ning of the civil war. Whether, in case
of war with Spain, It would be 'seri
ously' threatened, would depend upon the
wisdom of our public authorities, and
especially of Congress. It would be nec
essary to borrow money largely. If it
were borrowed by the Issue of Interest
bearing bonds, the gold standard would
not necessarily be threatened. If it were
borrowed by the issue of greenbacks, the
gold standard would be lost for a longer
or shorter period. It is mot likely that
the latter method of finance would be the
most popular, because it would 'save in
terest' and prevent bankers from making
a profit out of the necessities of the Gov
ernment, probably the most unscientific
method of raising the money would be
the one adopted in spite of all that Sec
retary Gage could do or say. Our reviv
ing prosperity would be crushed In any
case. AA"liat the end would be no man
can say. The situation Li one calling fo'
the utmost prudence on the part of the
President and the utmost firmness In
maintaining whatever position he may
conscientiously take."
"PATRIOTISM IN COURT.
Washington.- Farewell Address
Head nt the Wilkesburre Trial-.
AA'ilkesbarre, Feb. 22. There was a e
niarkable scene at the trial of Sheriff
Alartln today. AA'hen court assembled
Judge Stanley Woodward announced
that owing to a press of business the
usual respect could not be paid AVashing
ton's birthday. He. therefore, requested
Attorney James Scarlett, for the prose
cution, to read Washington's farewell
address. The spectators, prisoners and
Jury broke into a storm of applause.
Intense silence prevailed while Scarlett
read the address, and applause marked
the close.
The taking of testimony for the defense
was then resumed. Several witnesses
testified that the striking miners were
1 jtous on the day of the shooting at
Lattimer, and that they were armed with
clubs long, sharp irons called miners
needles and pistols. Instances were given
of where they assaulted men who re
fused to join them In their march to
Lattimer.
Airs. James Edmunds told of the com
ing of the strikers from AIcAdoo to Har
wood a few days before the shooting, and
how they were armed with clubs, miners
"needles" and sledge hammers. She saw
them go to the bleaker, and then saw
the men and boys employed there come
running out and into the brush. Coming
down to the assembling of the Huns, In
Harwood, on the morning of September
10, the "witness said they thronged tho
single street there rome our hundred
strong, yelling for the English and Irish
miners to come out and join them.
"Some one then told me that they had
got my husband," said the witness, "and
I went out and tore him away from them.
They came at me and threatened to knock
my brains out. I dared them to lay a
hand on me. and picked up a stone. They
let me go then, but as they went away
their said, 'You can laugh now, but wait
until we come back after fixing the sol
diers at Lattimer. and we will fix you. "
Air. Alartin's cross-examination only ac
centuated the strong points brought out
by her direct examination.
To Air. Alartin's question whether she
had not been afraid of the strikers, she
replied:
"Yes."
"Then, why did you not run away?"
"I have too good blood In me and spirit
to run away from a white man, let alone
a nigger."

THE CHANTER DAY PAGKAAT3.
1'lnns for Alilltury, Imlu.-trial and
Civic Parades in New York.
Xew York. Feb. 12. The Charter Day
committee on plan and scope has reported
a general plan for a three days. celebra
tion, which included a naval parade Alay
3. a military parade Alay ! and a civic and
Industrial parade Alay 5.. On the night
of the 3d there will be hbuo'ric&l address
es and orations in the Aletropolitan AIu
seum and Carnegie Hall and the Acade
my of Alusic, Brooklyn. On the night of
Alay 4 there will be a ball and reception,
and on the last night a banquet. On
all three of the nights there will be dis
plays of fireworks in all the boroughs.
The committee has appointed three sub
committees to look after the details of
tiie three days, and have taken perma
nent headauarters la the Fifth Avenue
Hotel.
Col. Lewis IIopkin. one of the most en
thusiastic of the plan and scope commit
tee, said:
"AVe propose to make this a national
affair. We are going to have, enough in
this celebration to give it a" national in
terest. Alerchants and business men from
all parts of the country come here every
spring, and they will come at this time,
and we want them here. There Is no rea
son why we should not make this. attract
the widest possible attention, if we only
get to work."
The report of the military committee
showed that they planned a big parade.
They want the National Guard of New
York to meet here in Alay instead of in
Peekskill. and to hold their annual en
campment In Van Cortlandt park. The
State G. A. R. will also be asked to meet
here. Detachments from the United
States Alarlne Corps and the United
States Army are promised, too, by Gen.
King and Alajor Gen. Roe.
Gen. Butterfleld has promised that the
civic parade would be "all right." He
was In charge of a similar parade in the
Centennial, which, in passing the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, took from 10 o'clock until
4 in the afternoon.
ASKS FOR STATE AID.
The Johns Hopkins. University Fi
nancially Emhu.rrafj.Ned.
Baltimore, Feb. 22. The commemora
tion day exercises of the Johns Hopkins
University, held at "ArcCoy Hall this
morning, and marking the twenty
second ar.nlx-ersary of the institution,
were of high importance as inaugurating
a movement for the aid of the university
by the State of Alaryland.
President Gllman's address was brief.
He said:
"In accordance with the wishes of many
of its friends and supporters, tax-payers
and citizens of Alaryland. the Johns Hop
kins University has determined to" pres
ent a statement of its financial condi
tion to the legislature of Alaryland, and
to ask for State aid."
The announcement did not como wholly
as a surprise. For the past two years
the affairs of the institution have been
hampered in a financial way. The large
investment of Johns Hopkins in the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad was. until that
time, the source of a large portion of the
university's income. Then the railroad
went into the hands of receivers, and a
loss to the university of J1M.OO0 per an
num was the result. Public spirited citi
zens took up the matter, and by private
contributions $230,000 was subscribed, to
be paid in five yearly Installments of
550.000 each. The loss on' account or the
railroad, however, exceeded this by J100,
000 a year, and the trustees have not- been
able to overcome the difference- Another
Idea Is to make the governor of the
State and the chief judge of the court of
appeals ex-ofliclo members of the board
of trustees. This would give the State a
voice in the government of the university
and would tend to maJe It. a State insti
tution. A public meeting of the business men
of the city will be held In a few days,
probably next week, at which it is ex
pected today's action will -be Indorsed.
