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

prise fifteen stations and 280ont-Btations,
There are foity-flve missionaries, one

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 :

been their blessed privilege while preach

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

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."

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.

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.

laden to return from the north with

of Oregon and Washington seem as anx

of wheat ol the crop of 18113 were carried
over. Exports from California to De

There have been received from Oregon
during that period between 30,000 and

From one to four vessels a week have

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Childs of Philadelphia.

tax. The final solution of the difficulty
rested with the United States Congress.
