ANOTHER BLUE BOOK
It is Published in London
Today.
DEALS WITH ARMENIAN QUESTION
Twenty-fire TUousancl Persons Known
to Have Been Massacred Politi
cal Crisis in France.
London, Feb. 17. Another blue book
on Armenia was published today, the
dispatches covering the period between
September 3, 1883, and February 11,
1896. It contains the tables prepared by
a committee of delegates from the em
bassies of the six powers, showing that
the total number of persons massacred,
concerning whose fate accurate infor
mation has been obtained, is 25,000.
Cl'KZOS'B KEPLY.
It Deals With. .Russia's Movements in
Armenia.
London, Feb. 17. Under Secretary of
the Foreign Office George N. Gurzon, re
plying in the house of commons today to
questions, said the powers had not in
formed Russia that her occupation of
Armenia wonld not be objected to. Such
occupation, he added, without the con
sent of the sultan, would be in violation
of the treaties of Paris and Berlin. Cur
zon also said the statement of the Rus
sian minister of foreign affairs, Prince
Lobanoff Rostovaky, that Russia was
willing to undertake to maintain order
in Armenia was spontaneous.
THE REMEDIAL. BILL.
Both Sides Preparing for a Bard Fight
in Manitoba.
Chicago, Feb. 17. A dispatch from
Winnipeg says:
In the face of the remedial bill just in
troduced at Ottawa to restore the Roman
Catholic separate schools in this pro
vince, the Dominion government, under
Sir Charles Tupper, will make a big ef
fort to retain the Bupport of Manitoba's
members in the Dominion house. It has
been arranged to hold a big conservative
convention here within a fortnight, and
Sir Charles Tupper wires that he will
attend and lully explain the govern
ment's position on the school question.
Sir Donald A. Smith, the millionaire of
Montreal, who laid the foundation for
his fortune in Manitoba, and has large
interests here, will be invited to be the
candidate for Winnipeg. Sir Donald
will arrive here during the day. Prem
ier Greenway and hia government de
cline to take any action on the school
question until tney officially receive a
copy of the remedial bill. Then they
will, no doubt, give notice of vigorous
resistance.
A POLITICAL CRISIS.
MUNITIONS Ot WAR.
Condition of Affairs in France Very
Threatening.
Paris, Feb. 17. The political crisis
arising out of the demand of the senate
for a vigorous inqairy into the Southern
railroad scandal is practically a struggle
between the chamber of deputies, which
has supported the radical ministry, and
the senate, which seems bent upon over
throwing it, even at the cost of serious
disturbance.
There is little excitement this morn
ing outside the newspaper offices. It is
claimed the resignation af the ministry
would not alter the matter to any great
extent, as it appears to be no longer a
question of confidence or of non-confi
dence in the cabinet. The chamber of
deputies, it is asserted, has practically,
by defying the senate, endangered the
constitution, and the result is a condi
tion of affairs about as threatening as
any since the troublesome times of
1870-71.
The conservatives and socialists de
mand the dissolution of parliament.
The moderates and republicans agree
that dissolution is advisable, but claim
it. should take place under another
cabinet.

Large Quantities Received by Cubans
Recently.
- New York, Feb. 17. A dispatch to
the World from Kingston, Jamaica,
says:
Several invalid Cubans who have ar
rived here report that immense stores of
munitions of war have been received by
the insurgents, which have enabled
them to take measures for the occupa
tion of the city ot Santiago the moment
the United States recognizes . them.
General Weyler's advent has compelled
them to take prompt and decisive
action.
The Big Fight Is Off.
El Paso, Tex., Feb. 17. At the con
ference today after Julian and Connolly
had wrangled some minutes, Fitz9im
mons broke in with great heat and de
clared that as long as he could not get
the $1000 forfeit money, he would not
fight. Turning to Connelly he said :
ion are an a pact ot curs ; . you are
afraid to fight, and your man has. not
been able to get into condition because
he has been afraid all along."
Waving hia arms, he yelled to the
newspapermen and spectators, "Gentle
men, the whole thing is off; I refuse to
fight Maher unless I am paid my forfeit
money. I am willing to fight Maher,
Corbett or any man in the world."
Julian .made a proposition that Con
noil ey name five men and he would ac
cept their decision. Connolly ' agreed.
The committee named by Connolly was
Siler, Houseman, Fitzgerald, Nanghton,
and O'Rourke, Stuart being requested to
act as chairman. The committee decid
ed that the articles of agreement of Dec
ember 5, were abrogated Friday, and
under the circumstances Julian could
not justly claim the forfeit.
You hear it almost everywhere, and
read it in the newspapers, that Simmons
Liver Regulator is the best liver remedy,
and the best Spring medicine, and the
best blood medicine. "The only medi
cine of any consequence that I use is
Jmons Liver Regulator." So wrote
kr. R. A. Cobb, of Morgantown, N. C.
And W. F. Park.M. D., ot Tracy City,
Tenn, writes : . "Simmons Liver Regula
tor is the best."
