THE HORRIBLE DETAILS GIVEN The roaltlon of the Miaalunarlea of th Amerlean Hoard Within the Turkish Kinplre la an Eitreinoly Delli ute On Indeed. Bohton, December 18. The American Board of Cotninieeionere for Foreign Mis gions more than any other missionary organization in America centralizes its work in behalf of Armenians in Asiatic Turkey. Its Western Turkey mission began in 1611), its Kastern Turkey mis sion In 1830 and its Central Turkey mis sion in 1847. These three iiiissionscum prise fifteen stations and 280ont-Btations, There are foity-flve missionaries, one medical missionary in Kastern Turkey, forty-two married women and seventy. three unmarried women. They employ 701 native laborers. These laborers o: cupy 200 places. The Sunday schools number 2(14. The adherents are esti mated at 40,804. There are 112 churches with a membership of 11.181. ol which 41)8 were received within a year. The educational work is extensive. There are (our theological schools; thirty-one colle((es,"hinli and hoarding schools for boys: twenty colleges, lnirli aud boarding schools for girls, ami .172 common schools containing 10,833 pupils. The contribn. tions of the natives last year to the Amcri can Board amounted to f34,758. These facts do not include thewoik in Euro pean Turkey. Numerous inquiries have been received from the press and from others in the United btates, which nave induced this organization to furnish the following statement relating to allairs in 1 111 key : "We are not unconcerned by the re ports 01 the massacres in Eastern iurkey, The position of the missionaries of the American Board within the Turkish Km. pire is an extremely delicate one. Bym pathizing deeply on one side w ith all who are sutlering by reason ol poverty, op pression aim misrule, iney nave yet oeen oval to the government -under which they have lived, and have never counte nanced sedition or rebellion. It has been their blessed privilege while preach ing the gospel of Jesus Christ to aid the poor, to protect, as far as possible, the oppressed and to deliver from unjust of ficials multitudes who have been arrested or imprisoned. It is not necessary for our missionaries after these scores of years of devotion and devoted labor for the native race of Turkey to prove their sympathy with the sutlering and op pressed by joining others who, at a sale distance from the scene of danger, are passing vigorous resolutions in condera nation of tlm wrnnira inflicted. Thev are doing their best amid no little peril to themselves in the interests of those for whom tliev have Ion if labored : hut our readers can well understand that lor the sake both of the helpless and for the helped it is inexpedient lor us to pre sent a full statement of all we hear and believe. Some things we nmv nronerlv say prior to the full investigation of the alleged atrocities, which we trust will be mode by the representatives ol both our government and of the European powers. In the Sassoun region. Bouth - of Moosh plain, there are. or were many villages inhabited by Armenians. These people were systematically robbed 01 their flocks by Kurds, and in the latter part of the summer the Armenians pur sued the robbers in their endeavor to re cover their property. In the fight which resulted some ol the Kurds were killed, among whom were some who were en rolled as TurkiBh. soldiers. When in formation was given that the Armenians had killed some of the Sultan's troops the charge of rebellion was made and or ders were sent to put down the insurrec tion,' The result was these lawless and uncontrolled soldiers made indiscrimi nate slaughter of the people who had sought to defend their property. In the horrible massacres which followed thou sands were slain, some state 6,000, others 10.000. The details of this horrible aflair are not obtainable even by those near the scene. They will never be obtained unless foreign governments insist upon thorough investigation conducted by foreigners. The poor people are in ter ror, and do not tell the truth unless untler protection. A document has been prepared near the scene of the carnage purporting to give the judgment of the people that the thousands slain in Tal- vorie met their justdeserts, and express ing regrets that it had been thought best to send Consuls to investigate since there has been no need for their coming. The value of such a document will be understood when the methods for secur ing signatures are known. But such in vestigations should be most vigorously pushed, either to relieve the government from unjust charges, if the statments are incorrect, or, if they should be proven, to bring about the conditioning punish ment of the guilty parties." The Ministers Will Ant. Sam Fkancibco, December 18. The clergymen of the citv are arranging for organization of a movement in this city similar to the Lexow plan for the im provement of municipal morals. Rev. . Cumming Smith, pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church, who has had ver bal and written communication with Dr. 'arkhurst, took the initiative. A union movement has been inaugurated by the local organizations of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist ministers to take concerted action. If the California Leg islature does not appoint an official puri fication committee, the ministers will conduct the investigation themselves. with the aid of citizens generally. They Will Marry the (llrla. WixriEbD, Kan., December 18. The Osage Indian boys. Hank and Charles Mashaw. attending business college here, eloped Saturday morning with two girls. ho were sisters.

A gal a Kelow the Limit. Washwotoh, December 17. The gold reserve took another downward plunge by the withdrawal of $4,875,000, leaving the net reserve at the close of business $:3,341,834 or $3,658,116 below the 1100.- 000,000 limit. Reeonetllattea KBeetod, 3fw York, December 15. The Com mercial Advertiser prints a report this afternoon that s reconciliation has been effected between Mr. and Mrs. W. K. anderbilt. THE GERMAN EMBARGO, There la No Anlolloratlon aa Yet of the Ntringoiit Order. up the sugar schedules of the tariff and the consequent improbability of any such action as was recommended by the President, looking to the repeal of the duty of one-tenth of 1 cent on sugar pro duced under the bounty system, the fu ture action of the German government is being awaited with some upprehension here. The speech of tho German Chan cellor in the Keichstag, in which he made a strong point ol the discrimina tion imposed by the United States to ward German sugar, is believed to Indi cate a strengthening of the policy which that government lias adopted directed to the exclusion or severe restriction upon the American products fought to be im ported into Germany. At present Mr. Itunyon, our Minister to Germany, is wnrkinu hard to sec are an amelioration of the stringent order of exclusion in the case ol American cattle, anu secre tary Ureshgin is in almost daily coniul tation with the German Minister here upon the same subject. Up to this time no appreciable degree of success has at tended the efforts of our government, the character of the negotiations appear ing to indicate a pnrro e on the part of tlm German government to procrastinate until Congress has decisively announced I its intention In the niatterol sugaruuiy. Aa lonir as these conditions remain our government is likely to wait patiently ; ut, should there be any fresh attacks by the Germans upon American inter ests, there is ground to believe the ad ministration will have recourse to the retaliation act of ISVO and Binglo out some German article, the importation of which into the United States about equals in volume the normal cattle and meat trade with Germany, and forbid its importation. THE CALIFORNIA FARMERS. Holding Their Own Wheat and import- nr,.! San Fbanuihco, December 18 w ith Vri.tit nn.vnn. nearly every warehouse in the State filled with wheat California is importing its breadstuffs in a large part from Oregon, says a morning paper. Wheat and flour are coming In by the shipload and ves sels are leaving San Francisco ballast laden to return from the north with wheat. California farmers and specula tors are holding their grain, while tlue of Oregon and Washington seem as anx ious to get rid of it. J une last 304,351 tons of wheat ol the crop of 18113 were carried over. Exports from California to De cember 1 are less than that amount. There have been received from Oregon during that period between 30,000 and 60,000 tons, which atlects local con sumption and wheat used for seeding. Tiiis leaves the crop of 1804 practically i i,,..f Nuini, fr ti, mm no nrnn linvn fallen opportunely.

The rains which have fallen in December, should favor able weather follow during the latter portion of the season, will insure an abundant harvest. Witli a good Euro pean market the grain men are appre hensive that freights may go to 60 shil lings. Instead of using the tonnage now in oort and arrivins to ship the State's surplus wheat to Liverpool from two to three out 01 every nve vessels wnicn ar rive are engaged to load in the North. From one to four vessels a week have been leaving here for the Columbia river and Sound ports. There is a likelihood that Prior to the first Monday in March, when the tax gatherer comes around, the holders of wheat will seek to dis pose of it, but with the limited ton nage here and to arrive and the immense quantity of wheat on storage, this may not prove an easy task. AN END TO BOXING. The Authorities Will Not Kven Permit s Amateur Kxlilliltloiia. Chicauo, December 18. AH exhibi tions where fists are brought into con tact with face and body, even amateur boxing bouts at the swell clubhouse of the Chicago Association, have been strictly prohibited by special order of the 1 olice Superintendent, who is backed by Mayor Hopkins. The order may even be applied to the theatrical perlorm ances of the Corbett and Fitzsimmons order. The New Orleans trugedy has served to make the authorities more de termined than ever to suppress boxing. A $200 fight to finish was in progress in the rear of a saloon last night when the police entered at the end of the eighth round and arrested everybody present. The light was a bloody and brutal slug ging affair. Governor Foster on tllove Contests. New Ohi.kanh, December 18. Gov ernor Foster was seen this evening and asked for an expression of opinion on the so-called glove contests in the light of the tragic outcome of the Lavigne- Bowen tight. The Governor expressed himself as opposed to such exhibitions. He said: "I have always been very positive and emphatic in my opposition to the glove contests as carried on in New Orl leans by professions! prizefight ers. 1 regard it as a brutal exhibition tending to the demoralization of public sentiment, and in nowise calculated to elevate the tone of public morals in the community. When the effort was made to have Cornett-Mitchell light take plane in New Orleans, I determined to exhaust all the power of the State to prevent it, and so declared at the time. The unfor tunate termination of the Lavigne-Bowen contest accentuates the importance of prohibiting any such further exhibi tions." The Indiana Were Murrendered. Denver, December 18. A report was received to-day by General McCook from Captain F. U. Law ton of the Second Cavalry, who was ordered to rapture the Moqui Indians who created a disturb ance recently and took refuge among the Oriba cliffs in an isolated village. He occupied a position on the mesa over the village with two troops and trained Hoichkiss guns. The Moquis gathered in large numiiers, and all in the valley were ordered to come out in view of the troops. Captain Law ton made a speech, giving the names of the Indians wanted, and one by one they surrendered until nineteen were placed under guard to be taken to Fort Wingate. Gratifying to Kmplojres. Milwaukee, Wis., December 16. Judge Jenkins made an order in the Northern Pacific case this afternoon, the effect of which will be to do away with garnishee proceedings on the system while the receivership lasts. The orders were entered upon the petition of the re ceivers, who informed the court that numerous suits bad been or were to be about commenced, which would inter fere with the management of the road. The court directed the receivers to pay wages only to employes personally or their authorized agents. A similar order bas been ordered in every eonrt having jurisdiction over any portion of the system. ABOUT CURRENCY 1 along Testimony. WARNER, PLATT AND RIPLEY They, as Well aa llroker Jaehaon of lloa- ton, (live Their Views Upon th Cur rency I'ruhleiiia-I'nttt Opposes the Iletlreiiient of (Ireenbacks. Wahuinutox, December 17. Ex-Kep- resentative Warner of Ohio, President of the Bimetallic League, was the first witness to-day before the House Bank ing and - Currency Committee. He went into the principles of the entire question, and urged that an elastic cur rency, such as Secretary Carlisle sug gests, was an impossibility, for prices rose as fast as the currency increased. He said that the history of the world proved that the gold standard could not be maintained by giving to the banks the power of expanding the currency, lie was amazed that this proposition should be made in this enlightened age in the face of the financial experiences of the world. A long discussion followed between General Warner and Mr. Sperry over a question by the latter as to the effect the increase of the circulation would have upon the price of labor. Mr. Sperry called attention to a statement by the Treasury Department, Bhowing that the circulation in 1873 had been $771,000,000, whereas in 18113 it was over $2,200,000,000, and asked him how he reconciled the facts with the decrease in wages. M r. Warner replied by challeng ing the treasury report of the gold in circulation at the present time, which he raid was $200,000,000 bevond the facts. I and by referring to the increase of popu- lation a ' consider anti weaitn. Air. bperry did not the replv as adequate, and in , ti mated that, if Mr. Warner's theory had nothing more 10 stand on, 11 must mil Letters from President Cannon of the Chase National Bank of New York and j ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fairchiid, regretting their inability to appear, were read, and then the venerable Baltimore banker, Enoch Pratt, addressed the com mittee, He opposed the retirement of greenback circulation, and said he would rather have it increased. At 1 :15 p. at. the committee took a re cess for an hour, and when the hearing was resumed A. L. Ripley of the Na tional Hide and Leather Bank of Boston was called to the stand. He character ized the scheme of issuing demand notes redeemable in gold as thoroughly vicious. Under this system the banks had no means of adjusting their reserves to meet the demand 01 the limes, tnus corn- 1 polling them to keep a reserve, which at one time wouiu ne too large ana at an other too small. He opposed State banks because of the need 01 unilorimiv. A speedv and uniform system of redemp tion he considered aa necessary, and this he thought could be best secured through the national banks. Referring to Secre tary Carlisle's bill. Mr. Ripley said he thought the tenth and eleventh sections would open the gates to extensive coun terfeiting unless changed. H 11 1 00 thought the provision for redemption in the case of national banks would be 1 found too inadequate. The Secretary's : ulan in this respect would, if adopted, mark a retrogration in banking. He con sidered the present system safer than the one proposed. C. C. Jackson, a broker of Boston, urged the committee to insert a provi sion in any bill thev might Bee fit to re port requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to begin January 1. 1806. to re deem and cancel $4,000,000 worth of le gal tender notes, greenbacks, etc., per month; authorize him to use the sinking fund for this purpose, and if this is not sufficient, allow him to issue bonds for the purpose. The Carlisle and other plans in his opinion would not give the confidence required by home or foreign investors. It was necessary in hia opin ion to adopt a plan to insure the cancel lation of the treasury noteB. GREAT HONORS ALREADY. No Monument to Prof. Klehard Proetor ' Contemplated. New York, December 17. Misg Mary Proctor has received numerous commu nications lately with regard to a pro posed memorial observatory to be erected to the memory of her father, the late Prof. Richard Proctor, astronomer in California. While thoroughly appreci ating the kind sentiment of her corre spondents, she wishes to say that a year or so after her father's death her step mother suggested that such a memorial might be erected, but the idea haa since fallen through. Miss i'roctor wishes to say further that she feels that this coun try has already greatly honored her fa ther's memory in the beautiful monu ment erected over his grave in Green wood cemetery by the late George W. Childs of Philadelphia. ARMENIAN COMMISSION. To Consist of the English Conaul and a French and Ruaalan Delegate. London, December 17.

The Abolition of the American Tariff on Hua;ar Advocated. Berlin, December 17. In response to Count von Koenitz's inquiry in the Reichstag to-day Freiherr von Marschal- Secretary of the Foreign Office, said that the sugar tariff waa of great importance, aa it infringed upon " the most favored nation" clause. Ihe Increase of the American tariff on sugar had affected Germany more than any other country. and it ought to be abolished. He denied that Germany conceded " the niOBt fa vored nation ' treatment to the States without receiving anything in return. He waa bound to admit, he said, that Germany had arrived at a complete understanding with the United States f;overnment, and that President Clevel and had fulfilled the promise to recom mend to Congress the abrogation of one tenth of a cent differential in the sugar tax. The final solution of the difficulty rested with the United States Congress. He urged that care be taken to avoid placing a difficulty in the way of those trying to prevent the violation of treat ies, and he added : " Having for our own part loyally ob served the treaty of 1828, we are entitled to expect similar treatment."
