TURKISH AfROCITIES
Several Thousand Massacred
in Cold Blood.
THE HORRIBLE DETAILS,
The Diarbckir District aiuT Other
Cities Plundered.
London, -.Inly n.-Tlio Chronicle
publishes a dispatch from Constanti
nople which asserts that massacres
have occurred at Egln. In the Diar
bckir district of Annenlo, In which
4 500 persons were killed and the
city was pillaged.
The Turkish authorities are trying
tokeep'the report or tho massacres
arret according to the Chronicle's
correspondent.
HimiNo repents thai, the Rlthls dis
trict almost every vlllago has been
ruined and that a massacre Is Immi
nent 'lit Antab, the beginning being
deferred until an order Is lecelvcd
from the sultan's palace.
Canka, .July 17. Tuesday evening
altera consular council one or the
consuls declared the situation to be
very grave. The military authorities
arc outlining an aggresslvo attitude.
The general sentiment Is that Abdul
lah Pasha Is striving, In conjunction
with the Mussulmans, to prevent an
entente from being brought about.
The Turks were repulsed by tho
Christians. The affair was u serious
one, a laws force of troops being en-
gaged. The military authorities are
acting contrary to tho Instructions re-
i eelved from Constantinople. The
Mussulman population Is working
l actively with the Turkish army with
; the usual vexatious results.
Seven men and two women who
were engaged as harvesters have been
, massacred at Kostanl. Reports como
In giving accounts of lighting and
pillaging In live other villngcs. These
have rendered the consuls nnd tho
native Christians pessimistic regard
ing tho possibility of making peace.
Under the pretext of removing the
; bodies of tho sailors who wero killed
; yesterday by insurgents when pursu

; Christians. Turkish troops are ad-

Kentucky Distillers. -Louibville,
July 17. The ciics
tlon as to whether the Kentucky, dis
tillers will cease the production of
whisky for 18 months will lie decided
today, at a- meeting to be" held In the
Union National hank, at wih3h Geo.
S."Swenrlngcn will preside. The en
tire matter hinges, on the results ob
tained by Thomas S. Jones, who was
sent cast to confer with the owners or
the Kentucky distilleries. Tlioso dis
tillers, the names of whom those In
terested at present refuse to divulge,
nnd the proprietors of the Latoula
distillery, opposite Cincinnati, have
as yet refused to sign the agreement,
and the output of the combine Is so
great that unless their signatures to
the agreement tire obtained, the plan
will probably fall through.
Maceo Lives.
New York, July l7.--Tonms Ks
trndu Palma, the Cuban delegate,
when seen at the junta headquarters
last night regarding Joe Macco's re
ported death, said:
"I have no advice whatever regard
ing the matter, but I do not liellcvc
the news to be true. It Is absurd to
think for a moment that Maceo, who
Is beloved by all Cubans, could be
murdered by his own people.
"As to the alleged race war,reported
to. have broken out In the Insurgent
ranks, that Is all nonsense. The
Spaniards have often tried to spread
the same rcrlort, hoping to Injure our
cause."
LATER.
Havana, July 17. Private advices

pose. When it was about half way
over, tho rrall craft was swamped by
the wash from a passing steamer, and
It began to sink. Tho llrst report of

On the Train for St. Louis, I
July 17, 181MI. f
I loft Salem, Marlon county, Ore
gon, Thursday, for,St. Louis with a
llrni determination lo do all in my
power to secure llic nomination by all
the silver parties of the Hon. Win, J,
Rryan, of Salem, Marlon county,
Illinois.
1 left ii typical gold standard crowd
discussing the money question as the
train pulled out of Salem. They were
a stato house official, a county otllclal
and a Southern Pacific otllclal. Llko
Solomon's lllle, they wpro nrraycif In
all their glory and 1 supposo will bo
hard at. workon thcirgoldeu Job when
I return.
I wnnt to say I havo only tho
highest respect for men In public
office, but 1 do not believe in tho
salaried officials of. our country
running Its pnrty politics. Ab Salem
Is both" a county sent, a. state capital
and a city of soma importance, about
every other man In politics Is an
office-holder. Whllo I respect tho
onicc-holdcr so long as ho performs
his duty nnd attends to his business,
I do not want to overestimate his Im
portance. Ho Is not a better Judgo of
what Is sound finance or good Re
publicanism or good Democracy than
tho ninny who works font living and
pays taxes. The court houso or stato
house rat who spends time iiinnaging
primaries and corrupting voters In
blocks is a worso enemy of tho public
good than tho man convicted of a
felony and behind prison bars. Tho
latter Is to pay tho penalty of n crlmo
committed against tho common
wealth. The former Is undermining
thoconlldcnco of tho pcoplo In their
own government.
I love the men who hold tho offices
nnd at a safe dlstanconm going to tell
them somo plain truths about them
selves. But I want them to havo a
llttlo toleration for tho sound money
men who nro sound nt their own ex
pense, wjio pay their campaign bills
out of tholr own pockets. Wo aro
going to have a good time together,
but wo aro not going to surrender our
private Judgment as to what consti
tutes tho good of our country to any
class of officials. Both thoy and wo
should bo above tho suspicion of polit
ical activity for private gain.
I claim to bo a sound monoy mmi.
My father railed In one of the panics
In the early seventies, when nn era of
falling prices following the greenback
Inflation. Ho was u successful coun
try merchant and Instead of taking
the benefit of the bankruptcy law, ho
turned over all his property to his
creditors, confessed judgment on tho
balances ho owed, and wo all went to
work to earn money to pay off princi
pal, Interest, costs aud attorney's fees
to tho last cent, which was no more
than was our duty. If every business
man and banker who falls, would go
to work, with his family to help him,
and do tho same thing, they would
havo something to feel proud of tho
rest of their lives. There should lie
no blot on tho escutcheon of the fam
ily honor of any American, If tho fam
ily has health and opportunity to re
move It by honest Industry. Thero
can bo no aristocratic prldo equal to
the feelings that you have paid your
honest debts by honest labor.
Abhorring repudiation, counten
ancing nothing short of honest pay
ment of debts public and private,
having no belief whatever lu flat
money schemes,! go to St. Louis to do
SOM
SILVER SOUNDS
nil In my power, God helping me, nnd
with principle for my only guide, to
unite the-American people for Brynn
and bimetallism. I believe tho gold
standard would give us a dishonest
dollar, founded upon 'Injustice to tho
masses, hiding Its faco In every shnmo
of Its own selfishness and cheating
worst or all those who innocently or
igtiornntly advocate It. I believe
under the gold standard wo would
live lu constant rear of contraction
and departure or gold from our coun
try. The gold holders would have no
confidence In their own scheme and
would Tie suspicious of each other In
this country aud at the mercy of gold
syndicates abroad. JShort of resting
our tlnanco system upon the gold and
silver product of our own country as
agaliilst resting It upon banks and
trust nompanlos, wo havo no prospect
of security and stability for the
ruturc.
The only way to restore confidence
In our currency, bring money out or
hldlngttnd put Into circulation Is to
destroy tho gold bogey by an over
whelming vote of tho American pco
plo In ravororbliiictalllsmaiidagatnst
the pernicious doctrine that wu can
only clrculato silver money and paper
monoy that Is llrst or all redeemable
In gold. The pcoplo will get no re
lief until they elect a 'president who
will declare that nil tho money wo
now have, gold, silver nnd paper, shall
l)o legal tender money for nil pur
poses, on cqunl terms before tho law
and that tho man or men who attempt
to discriminate against any of It, or
to doprcclato a dollar of It shall bo de
clared a public enemy. Until tho
American pcoplo assert their sover
eignty on this question In a positive
mid decisive manner, their govern
ment will bo at tho mercy of tho
money specluators and they thorn
bclvcswlll be under tho bondngo of
tho money power. Holding theso
views I go to St. Louis to try
to unlto.for Bryan for president
because ho represents tho pcoplo ns
against tho gold syndicate.
McKlnloy Is a noble, honorable, pa
triotic Christian gcntloman. He was
a silver man and nbhorcd tho singlo
gold standard. With his clean
character, porsonal Integrity and pro
tcctlvo principles, ho was tho Idol of
tho pcoplo until ho refused to express
his real scntlmontH nnd honest con
victions at tho bidding of tho gold
syndicate. Ho repudiated his life
long belief In silver as tho standard
primary monoy nnd fell Into tho trap
of tho goldltcs. In tho name 'of tho
best monoy In tho world, when there
Is no such thing, ho wants n dishon
est dollar that will only lot a part of
the pcoplo prosper whllo It is crush
ing tho llfo out of tho rest of them.
As noble bravo McKlnloy, loving his
fcllowmon from tho largeness of his
heart, tho pcoplo lovo that man. Bub
as Mark Hanna's man, ns tho gold
padlocked Nnpoleon nnd hcnrt-stlflcd
politician, tho pcoplo will repudiate
him.

"I have no disposition to talk poll

which surrounded iny early home, tho
memories of other days crowd out all

speech I over tried to mako. ItwnH
on tho fair grounds near that I spoke
for the llrst tlmo on n'Fourth of July.
It was to this city and to this grato

I cannot forget whoso kindly face

I cannot forget this homo, nor theso
