Uncle Sam Compels Reparation.

Prompt action on the part of the United States government has compelled the Turkish authorities to adopt radical measures to avenge the outrage perpetrated upon Miss Anna Melton, an American missionary of tho Presbyterian board in Mosul, who was attacked on tho night of June 14 lust while stopping in a little village in the Kordish mountains. Dear Arnadla Tho latest phase of the matter shows that the Grand Vizier in Constantinople has ordered the removal of the Governor of Mossul because that official did not act with sufficient promptitude in bringing the offenders to justice after repeated demands by the Government of this country. Several Amadians are under arrest charged with the crime, but their trial, for some reason, has been post pined frohi time to time. Rev. Dr. Benjamin Labare, Recording Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, received news from Oroomiah, Persia, of the brutal murder of an American-Armenian Christian in that city at the hands of a mob of Mohammedans. -•o / ■ Strange Story of a Chicago Hoy.

RECOVERY" IS SLOAV. Business Advancement Is Not as Rapid as YYas Hoped. R. G. Dun & Ca’s Weekly Review of Trude says; A complete statement of failures for the quarter which closed on Friday is not possible, hut the number thus far reported Is about 4,000, and the aggregate of liabilities about $150,000,000, greatly surpassing the record of any previous quarter. For the week the failures have been 329 in the United btates, against 177 last year, and in Canada 34, against 31 last year. -Hope deferred,” explains the week In part, and It Is doubtless true that many Indulged In teasonable hopes, but business has not entirely answered expectations. Many works which have resumed operations do not find orders as large ur the demand from customers as vigorous as they anticipated, and with some it is a question whether they will not close again. While money on call has been abundant and cheap, and about $4,500,000 clearing-house certificates have been retired, there is perceptible greater caution in making commercial loans at New York and at some Western points. Confidence, proverbially of slow growth, has been somewhat diminished, in part because advancing exchange suggests the possibility of gold exports. MUTINY IN KANSAS PRISON.
