Its Western , Turkey mission began in Ml), it Eastern Turkey mis sion In l&k) and its Central Turkey mis lion in 1847. These three missions com prise fifteen stations and 280out-stations. Thore are forty-five missionaries, one 'medical missionary in Eastern Turkey, forty-two married women and seventy three unmarried women. They employ 701 native laborers. These laborers oc cupy 209 places. The Sunday schools nuinbor 204. The adherents are esti mated at 40,804. There are 1 12 ch u relies with a membership of 11,181, of which 4I8 were received within a year. Tlie educational work 1. extensive. There are four theological schools; thirty-one colleges, high and boarding schools for boys; twenty colleges, high and boarding schools for girls, and 372 common schools containing 10,833 pupils. The contribu tions of the natives last year to the A meii ran Board amounted to 134,758. These fact, do not include the woik in Euro pean Turkey. ' Numerous inquiries have been received from the pre., and from others in tlie United States, which have induced this organisation to furnish the following statement relating to aifair. in Tin key : ' ''We are not unconcerned by the re port of the massacre in Eastern Turkey. The position of the missionaries of the American Board within the Turkish Em pire to an extremely delicate one. Sym pathizing deeply on one side with all who are fullering by reason of poverty, op- firession and misrule, they have yet ttecn oyal 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, aa far a. possible, the oppressed and to deliver from unjust of ficial, multitude, who have been arrested or imprisoned. It 1. 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- Sressed by Joining other, who, at a safe istance from the scene of danger, are passing vigorous resolutions in condem nation of the wronir. inflicted. They are doing their best amid no little peril to themselves in the interests in those (or whom they have long labored but our readers can well understand that for the sake both of the helpless and for the helped it to inexpedient for us to pre sent a full statement of all we bear and believe. Some things we may properly tav prior to the full investigation of the alleged atrocities, which we trust will be made by the representatives of both our government aud of the European power. "In the Passoun region, south of Moosh plain, there are. or were many Tillage inhabited by Armenians. These nle were systematically robbed of r flock, by Kurds, and in the latter part of the dimmer the Armenians pur .tied the robber in their endeavor tore cover their property. In the fight which resulted some of the Kurds were killed, among whom were some who were en rolled as Turkish soldiers. When in formation was given that the Armenians bad 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 massacre, which followed thou .and. were slain, some state 0,000, others 10,000. The detail, of this horrible allai r are not obtainable even by those near the cene. They will never be obtained utiles, foreign government insist noon a thorough investigation conducted by foreigner. The poor people are in ter ror, and do not tell tho truth unless under protection. A document ha. been prepared near the scene of the carnajr purrting to give the judgment of th people that the thousands .lain in Tab vorie met their just desert, and express ing regrets that it had been thought best to send Consul to investigate sinct there ha been no need for theircoming. The value of such a document will be understood when the methods for secur ing signatures are known. Hut such in vestigation should be most vigorously pushed, either to relieve the government from unjust charges, if the statments are incorrectror, if they should be proven, to bring about the conditioning punish ment of the guilty parties.' -The Ministers W I Vet.

In view of the disinclination of Congress to take up the sugar schedule, of the tariff and tlie cohseouent improbability of any such action as wa. recommended by the President, looking to the repeal of the duty of one-tenth of 1 cent on sugar pro- luced under the bounty .ystem, the fu ture action of the German government is being awaited with some apprehension here. The speech of the German Chan cellor in the Reichstag, in which he made a strong point ol tho discrimina tion imposed by the United State to ward (ieriuan sugar, Is believed to indi cate a strengthening of the policy which that government has adopted directed 10 the exclusion or severe restriction upon the American products nought to be im ported into Germany. At present Mr. Kunyon, our Minister to Germany, ia woi king hard to secure an amelioration of the stiingent order of exclusion in the case of American cattle, and Secre tary Gresham is In almost daily consul tation with the German Minister here upon the same enbject. Up to thia time no appreciable degree of success has at tended the effort of our government, the character of tlie negotiation, appear ing to indicate a purpose on the part of theGerman government to procrastinate until Congrec. 1ms decisively announced its intention in the matter ol sngarduty. Aa lonir as these condition, remain our f;uvernment is likely to wait patiently ; nit, should there lie any fresh attack by the Germans upon American inter ests, there is ground to believe the ad iriiniHlratiou will have recourse . to the retaliation act of 18'.0 and single 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 it importation. THE CALIFORNIA FARMERS. Holding Their Own Wheat and Import ing xrroin uregoo. San Fbancibco. December 18.

There have been received from Oregon during that period between 30,000 and 60,000 tons, which afl'ects local con sumption and wheat used for seeding. This leaves the crop of 1894 practically intact.

' Washington, December 17. Ex-Eep- re.entative Warner of Ohio, President of the Bimetallic Leagne, was the first witness to-day before the House Bank ing and Currency Committee. II went into tho principles of the entire question, and nrged that an elastic cur rency, uch as Secretary Carlisle ng- geets, wa an impossibility, for price rose aa fast a the currency increased. He aaid 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, He was amazed that this proposition should be made In this enlightened age id the face of the financial experiences of the world. A long discussion followed between General Warner aud Mt. bperry over a question by the latter as to the euect the increase oi uie circulation would have upon the price of labor. Mr. 8 perry called attention to a statement by the Treasury Department, showing that the circulation in 1873 had been $771,000,000, whereas in 18H3 it was over $2,200,000,000, and asked him how he reconciled the facts with the decrease in wages. Mr. Warner replied by challeng ing the treasury report of the gold in circulation at the present time, which he said was $200,000,000 beyond the facte, and by referring to the increase of popu lation and weaith. Mr. Bperry did not consider the reply as adequate, and in timated that, if Mr. Warner' theory had nothing more to stand on, it must fail. Letters from President Cannon of the Cbase National Bank of New York and ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild, regretting their inability to appear, were read, and then the venerable Baltimore banker, Enoch Pratt, addreeeed the com mittee. He opposed the retirement of greenback circulation, and (aid be would rather have it increased. At 1 -IS p. m. the committee took a re cess for an hour, and when the hearing was resumed A. L. Kipiey oi me na tional Hide and Leather Bank of Boston was called to the stand. He character ized the scheme of issuing demand note redeemable in gold as thoroughly vicious. Under this svstem the bank, had no mean, of adjusting tbeir reserve to meet the demand of the times, thus com nollins them to keen a reserve, which at one time would be too large and at an other too small. He opposed State banks because of the need ol uniformity, a speedy and uniform system of redemp tion he considered a necessary, and this he thoneht could be best secured through the national banks. Referring to Secre tary Ca.rli.le'. bill, Mr. Ripley said he thought the ten in ana eieveuiu eeciium would open the gates to extensive coun terfeiting unless changed. He alec thought the provision for redemption is the case of national bank would be found too inadequate. The Secretary'i plan in this respect would, if adopted, mark a retrogration in banking. He con sidered the present system safer than tbe one proposed. C. C. Jackson, a broker of Boston, urged tbe committee to insert a provi sion in any bill they might see fit to re port requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to begin January 1, 1895, to re deem and cancel $4,000,000 worth of le gal tender notes, greenbacks, etc., pel month ; authorize him to use the sinking fund for this purpose, and if thi is not sufficient, allow him to issue bonds foi the purpose. The Carlisle and othei plane in bis opinion would not give the confidence required by home or foreign investors. It was necessary in his opin ion to adopt a plan to insure the cancel lation of the treasury notes. , GREAT HONORS ALREADY. Mo Monument to Prof. Richard Proetol Contemplated.' ' New York, December 17. Miss 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. Kichard Proctor, astronomer in California. While thoroughly appreci ating the kind sentiment of her corre spondents, she wishes to say that a yeai or so after her father' death her step mother suggested that such a memorial might be erected, but the idea has since fallen through. Mis Proctor wishes to say further that she feels that this coun try ha. 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, Child of Philadelphia. . ; Fraudulent Registration. San Fbancibco, December 17. George Peterson, a porter at the Baldwin Hotel, who reside on Minna street, testified to-day in the " stuffers" cases in Judge Wallace's court that State Senator Jer ry Mahonev aBked him to reuister at from the Baldwin Hotel, stating that he would fix it all right," and told Pe terson to go out in company with Stern berg to the new city hall and register.
