VirX'N.v, Dec. 7.—A dispatch from Constantinople says that bir Philip Currie, the British ambassador at Coustan- 1 tinople, is dissatisfied with the porce's I statement that the Armenian outrages were only ordinary acts of brigandage, and that he has made farther strong representations to the porte that (-Jreat Britain is aware that the aitair partook of the nature 01 a rising upon the part of the Armenians owing to the intolerable situation, the absence of security for life and property, and the depredations oi the Kurds. bir Philip holds that the official communique was intended as a guide to the commission and to prejudge the case. Tiie settlement of the difficulty as to the Armenian patriarch, with regard to the convocation of the national assembly to elect anew patriarch, is due to the efforts of bir Philip Currie.

It is reported that further disturb- I ances have occurred in the Zeitun district in the mountains of Asia-Minor and at Sassoun.

Outrages Were Perpeti .ited. LONDON, Dec. 7.—A dispatch to Tlio Daily News from Constantinople says that the reports of the Armenian outrages are confirmed from various sources. A Lazzist priest from Van says in an interview that he has not been able to discover the cause of the massacres at Sassoun. He believed that, the victims numbered 2,000 and that the regular troops were the actual murderers and violators.

The dispatch adds that since the sultan invited President Cleveland to send a delegate with the Armenian commission he has requested General Blunt Pasha to go to Bitiis on a similar errand. General Bhmt's health, however, prevents him from accepting the invitation.

The Advertiser has a dispatch from Constantinople stating that owing to President Cleveland's declining to send a delegate to inquire into the Armenian troubles, Turkey has reauested England to nominate a consul fco accompany the Turkish commission.

iTHE ARMENIAN MASSACRE

Jfc would he a blot upon civilization to allow sue): a'rarities to go unpunished.—

Those Arnienian horrors, if true, show that tho unspeakable Turk is still unspeakable.—Baltimore American.

Such a story coming from the heart of Africa would hardly be credible, but the incidents occurred on the immediate frontier at, least of civilisation.—Indianapolis News.

One of the most appalling chapters of Inhuman massacre and pasha despotism has been added to the revolting hisiory uf Turkish rule in thev east.—New York Tribune. f''

The Turk is as unspeakable as ever. Tho atrocities reported from Armenia ought to lie tho signal for ending his rule over any Christian people. United Europe should "'call him down."—New York Recorder.

There seems to be every evidence that such atrocities will occur until the Armenian population throughout Asia Minor is exterminated, according to tho desiies of the authorities at Constantinople.—New York Herald.

The unspeakablo Turk has, it seems, been committing uu.ipcakuble ouirages on tiie Christians in Armenia. What the Turk needs is a thrashing of unspeakable severity, and he needs it very badly.— Philadelphia Press.

Tho time has come when tho existing administration of Armenian affairs should bo abolished and lvplaccd by a governmcnt more consistent with tho civilization of tho nineteenth century. A repetition of the awful massacre of the subject races in Turkey should be made absolutely impossible.—Philadelphia Record.

The blood of the innocent mothers and babies put to death by the half savage troops of tho sultan cries for vengeance upon the murderers, and every country worthy of being called Christian and civilized should join in demanding justice.— New Y'ork Press.
