WN WK ML Neither He Nor His Friends Airing It Much Encouragement. HE’S STILL A REPUBLICAN. Congressman Taylor of the Flrat District Among Democratic Possibilities For Governor —Denmark Joins In the Boy- | eott of American Meats—Civil Service I Extension—Other News. Washington. Nov. 20.—The renewed reports that Senator Cameron had given his consent to be the presidential candidate of a “protection and free silver” party meets with an emphatic denial from close and intimate friends of the senator here who are in a position to speak with authority. The senator has received a number of letters from enthusiastic silver men who assure him that they “are with yon for ’96.” These letters have received the same formal acknowledgment given all letters received by the senator. Further than that, however, there has been no confespondence Which contemplated the use of the Senator’s name at the head of an independent silver movement. Mr. Cameron said recently that while he was for silver he was none s the less a Republican, and it was as a Republican that he hoped to see the white metal suitably recognized. This statement has been widely circulated, and Mr. Cameron’s friends say it embodies his exact position. They repudiate the idea that he is conspiring with Senators Stewart, Jones and others to demand a silver plank in the Republican platform or that he will lead a defection from that party. Senator Cameron returned to this city from New York last night. A reporter called his attention to a new story connecting his name as a presidential candidate in the event of the birth of a new party favorable io silver. His only reply was that he had already expressed his opinion of the matter, referring to the denial he gave to’ the Associated Press some time since. He declined to read the dispatch and declared emphatically that he had nothing to say on the subject. Denial By Pettigrew. Sioux Falls, Nov. 20. —Senator Pettigrew, in an interview concerning a dispatch yesterday stating that he, together with Senators Stewart and Jones, will Y launch a new political party on behalf of the silver men if the Republicans do not put a free silver plank in their platform in 1896, si. ys the report is entirely false. BOYCOTTED BY DENMARK. Germany’s Neighbor Puts Up an Embargo Against American Meats. Washington, Nov. 20.—A Copenhagen cable announces, that Denmark’s minister of the interior has issued a decree against the importation of American live cattle and fresh meats, to go into effect at once. The Danish minister here says the action is probably due to a request from Germany and is not so. much himed against the United States as to aid Germany in making her exclusion effective. Denmark uses very little American meat. NEW MAN FOR GOVERNOR. Defeated Congressman Taylor Being Groomed for the Democratic Race. Washington, Nov. 20.—There is already a well-defined movement among the friends of Congressman Taylor of the First Indiana district to boom him for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in that state. He is serving his first term in congress and is yet comparatively young. It is his present intention to continue in law practice in the First district after his term in congress expires. Diamond Cutters Coming to America. Washington, Nov. 20.—Twenty-six diamond polishers have arrived in New York from Amsterdam, and were per mitted to land.

She received the brevet yesterday from the French legation in this city. Holland fully 3,000 are out or employment and that many of them are coming to the United States, the inference being that the industry is largely being transferred to New York and Chicago. Hart Say* It I* Harrison. Washington, Nov. 20. —W. H. Hart of Fkankfort, Ind., is here on business. “Harrison will have the Indiana delegation for president in 1896, whether he is a candidate or not,” said Mr. Hart. “Wherever he went through the gas belt and in southern Indiana be left a trail of Republican gains.

Washington, Nov. 20. —District Attorney Birney has notified all persons indicted for refusing to answer questions before the senate sugar investigating committee, including Havemeyer and Searles, that they must appear and plead or demur to the indictments.

A REUBEN F. KOLB.

-and Populists in which he declares his intention to be inaugurated governor of the state Dec. 1 and. calls upon his followers everywhere to gather-at Montgomery on that day and aid him in taking his seat. The arrest of Kolb for treason is not improbable, and-if his followers undertake to seat him, which, judging from the sentiments expressed at their meeting in Montgomery last week they will undoubtedly do, it is believed there will be serious trouble. Governor Jones said when shown the dispatch about the Kolb manifesto, wherein Kolb says that by the grace of God he will take his seat on Dec. 1: “William G. Oates has been elected governor by the fairly expressed will of a majority of the people of Alabama and . has-been so declared by the general assembly. It is my duty to see that he is duly installed, and by the grace of God he will be.’’

ONE 11088 ISSm. Two Thousand Dead Armenians Left Unburied at Sussan. ■W • I HORROR OF CHOLERA ADDED. DI.PHKe Breaks Out on the Soeae of An* other Reported Butchery Led by a Turkish Marshal—Effort to Keep Back the Facte—Pathetic Meeting of Chicago Armenians. London, Nov. 19.—A dispatch to The Times from Vienna says that a letter has beeir received there from Smyrna reporting that Zeki Pasha, a Turkish marshal with a detachment of Nizams and a field battery, massacred 2,000 Armenians at The bodies of the dead were left unburied and their presence has caused an outbreak of cholera, i Many Christians are reported to have I fled by secret paths across the Russian frontier. So Jar there has been no official confirmation of the news, but. if it is true it is time the powers share in the responsibility by their failure to enforce article 61 of the Berlin treaty, which imposes on them the duty of seeing that the pprte takes measures to protect Armenians. A dispatch to The Daily News from Constantinople says that the energetic action of Sir Philip Cnrrio, the English ambassador to Turkey, has caused consternation among the members of the Turkish government. Everything has Iteen done to keep secret the facts of the outrages. Information from various sources tends to prove that the Sassun affair was most serious. A dispatch fpom Constantinople to The Standard says that in response to the protest made by Sir Philip Currie, British ambassador to Turkey, the porte has unreservedly withdrawn the charge against Mr. Hallward, the British consul at Van, of inciting the Armenians at Sassun and elsewhere to revolt. The governor of Bitlis, who is seriously involved in the outrage, made the charge, it is said, for the purpose of revenge. The sultan has decided to send a commission composed of three members of his military household and one civilian to Sassun for the purpose of making an impartial inquiry into the outrages on Armenians. The latest news is to the effect that many of ths Armenians Who were supposed to have been killed fled from the soldiery and are now returning. MOVED TO TEARS.

Some speakers spoke of taking up arms and dying in the cause of liberty and vengeance. The meeting was called for the purpose of taking action in regard to the reported slaughter and to discuss ways and means by which the sentiment of the civilized world can be aroused to prevent a repetition of such an outrage. The meeting closed with the passage of resolutions thanking the press for the interest taken in the cause of Armenia and others appealing to the pulpit and all good men and women to lift up their voices in protest, against, furtlrer persecution of a Christian people.
