Jlinas Tcheraz, editor of Armenia, and professor 'of Armenian at the University of London, has received the following advices from Armenian sources: Cekkl Pasha, commander of the Fourth Army Corps, has had given to him by the Sultan, the medal of husbandry. Ghendi, a Kurdish brigand at Boghazkissen, , ordered an Armenian named Apdar to bs killed for protesting against Ghendi's misdeeds. The Kurds have assassinated two persons at Daghveren, one at Armilion and one other at Keucher, The number of men, women and children who were cut down by sabers or bayonets at eleven villages of the Saseoun district was 750. "It is now proved that the people from the Sassoun district- who, during the retreat to Mount Andok, fought bravely for nineteen days, and who gave themselves up to the enemy on Aug. 27, were deceived by the proclamation of Zekki Pasha, promising them amnesty. The Turks then outraged the women and starved and tortured them for three days. Sixty young men were finally killed by the sword and their bodies were thrown into a. well. The villages of Shenik and Glelgozan have been burned to ashes, with their four churches. Thirtythreo other villages have been sacked and destroyed. Kharko.

Priest Medros, of Gleigouzan, who killed peven Kurds in a tight at Dalvorid, was made a prisoner and afterwards flayed alive. . Armenian Under Turkiuli Utile. WASHINGTON, Jan- C The following official telegram has been received at the Turkish legation in this city dated at Constantinople: "Certain newspapers have maintained lately that the number of Armenians in Turkey reaches many millions and that they are badly treated. Both assertions are absolutely false. According to the most reliable statistics the Armenians living in Turkey are a little over yoo.OOt), of whom 2O.0CO are established in Constantinople itelf. Those of the Armenians who reside in the provinces are distributed all over the country, so that nowhere do thev constitute the majority of the population. The fact Is acknowledged even by Turkey's detractors that the Ottoman Armenians have schools and a literature. This not only proves that they are not exnosed to vexatious treatment, but that, on the contrary, the Turkish government favors the'r institutions, wishes them to preserve their language and nationality and has secured their well being."

JudKe Hiiehwaller DIucIih red the Xero Wanted In Kentucky. CINCINNATI. Jan. S. Judge Buchwalter to-day delivered an elaborate opinion in the cast of the extradition of the Rev. A. S. Hampton, colored, demanded by Kentucky for shooting and wounding a Mr. Dunham In Green county. When Hampton was first before the court hi Honor refused to deliver him unless he had assurance from the Governor of Kentucky and from the judge of the trial court that Hampton would be protected from mob violence, and that he would be given a fair trial. The court sa'.d no such assurance had been received. He found both the indictment and the requisition defective in form, but on the broader ground of securing the rights of the prisoner the court held that he was justified in refusing to purrendar Hampton. The presumption that he would die without legal process If sent back had not been rebutted by proof of any kind. The vourt cited statistic of nineteen, lynchingn - in Kentucky within a comparatively short time and recalled the fact that one of the victims had been surrendered by this court. The court felt the obligation to perform a moral duty In this cae wh!ch could not be enforced bv minJamui or other proceedings.

Fb T HUE OF GERMANY SAD LACK OP, OPTIMISM IS THE VIEWS OP LBADIXG XEWSPAPERS. ' One Deplores the Country's Waning; Influence Abroad and Wishes lllsmarck at the Helm A grain. . (Copyright, 1895, by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, Jan." 3. It is a" significant fact that the majority of the New Year's day articles in the newspapers reviewing, the political situation were pessimistic in tone, expressing grave' doubts regarding Ger-, many's future. For instance, the Reichsbote, the Conservative organ, deplored Germany's waning influence abroad and wished Prince Bismarck back at the helm again. The Hamburger Nachrichten criticised the colonial and foreign policy of the past year as being vacilliatlng and devoid of vigor. The most sensational article, however, appeared in the Volks Zeitung, of Cologne, the main organ of the Centrist party, which, in the present session of the . Reichstag, is again a decisive factor. After mentioning the general feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty as to the future, due, it was added, to the instability of the governmental machine, the article says: "The main role in all this is played by the individuality of Emperor William II. No doubt he is a highly gifted monarch, Vith the best of intentions; but in his abnormally developed feeling of sovereignty he induces responsible statements to " disappear more and more from view, more than we have been accustomed to, and he. takes the initiative in fle'.ds in, which the sovereign has hitherto not interfered. At all events, the changeful decisions in the higher place render it difficult to determine with even a reasonable amount of certainty which course at any given time is to be pursued and Induce the belief that the present course will not be adhered to for any length of time.',' Later on the article speaks of the "Eulenberg dynasty" and says: "Count Botho Zu Eulenberg planned a coup de'etat and he is probably destined to be the succesor of the present Chancellor." The opinion is expressed that a constitutional conflict Is coming and is unavoidable. These utterances, coming from the leading mouthpiece of the most powerful parliamentary party, are highly significant. Some of the leading Berlin newspapers, notable the Vossische Zeitung and the National Zeitung, speak very bluntly about the) autocratic mannler in which the Emperor ordered, the district around the royal castle to be blocked . against all traffic during the court ceremonies on New Year's day. an ixauonai z,eitung, commenting on this, remarks: "The streets of Berlin belong to the Berliners. This principle was recognised by the police during the time of William I and it is time that this principle should again be recognized." Respecting the alleged untterances of Emperor William on New Years' day, the Schlesische Zeitung to-day declares authoritatively that the report that the Emperor delivered a political speech is "pure invention," adding, "he did not make the slightest reference to politics, his few words uttered relating solely to military matters." The cordial manner in which Emperor William greeted United States Embassador Runyon at the reception of the diplomatic corps was generally remarked. His Majesty warmly shook hands with Mr. Runyon and returned the felicitations of the day in the purest English on behalf of himself and the whole country, coupling these expressions with wishes for the continued welfare of the great transatlantic republic. Emperor Willianv on New Year's eve, received a long visit from Prince Hohenlohe, and it is understand that they discussed the South German situation, the approaching visit of Prince Hohenlohe to Prince Bismarck at . Friedrichsruhe, and the measures to be taken in order to pass the anti-revolutionary bill through the Reichstag. The visit of the Chancellor to Prince Bismarck is to be a mere act of courtesy, with no bearing on the political course of the government. This visit will be a concession to the admirers of the fallen statesman and to popular feeling generally. In connsctlon with the anti-revolution bill the Vorwaerts, organ of the Socialists, which has become notorious for obtaining and publishing secret official documents, on Thursday last published a circular marked "confidential" issued by the government presidents cf the provinces to the police and civil authorities, instructing them to suooress on the slightest pretext meetings held to protest against the anti-revolution bill. The Socialists are, now sending to the local leaders of their party warnings how to avoid the seizure of compromising papers and how to cope with the police in the event of the anti-revolution bill becoming a law. Tht proposal of the government to present a bill to the Reichstag raising the duty on cotton seed oil to 10 marks and reducing the duty on adulterated cotton seed oil to 3V2 marks, is opposed by the whole Liberal press The Vossischtt Zeitung especially combats the" propositoin, pointing out that in view of the conciliatoiy spirit shown by the United States lately in tariff legislation touching German interests, it is neither just nor wise to provoke new conflicts. Cotton sfed oil is being largely imported from America for the manufacture of oleomargarine. Fifteen million gallons, worth $U0O.mjO. were Imported last year, which is double the amount Great Britain imported from America. Prince Max, of Saxony, after renouncing all claims to the throne of Saxonv and entering a Catholic instttuion at Eichstadt. has just left for Riviera, suffering from lung trouble. The United States embassador on Tuesday last attended the ball at the British embassy and on Wednesday he was the guest of Lieut. Gen. Count Von Wedel, Minister of the Imperial Court. .

SUSIE CUT HER HAIR

AND" STARTED TO AVENGE .THE DEATH OP 11 Ell III SDAXD, v tint Cupid ; Interposed and 3Irs. lied Horse Became Sirs. 'Fust Thunder 'Romance of the Sioux, ROSEBUD, S. D... Jan. 5. A peculiar climax to a cold -blooded murder-' occurred here Wednesday, the details of which were made public to-day by deputy, marshal Liddiard, of Omaha.. It develops a new chapter In . the interesting story of the murder of. Red Horse, the old Sioux chieftain.. Red Horse, one of . the best known Indians in the , West, was beaten to death by Fast Thunder and Plenty Bird, near Rushville, recently. The murderers are graduates of Carlisle, University. They claimed religious power to do it. The Indian police captured them and they were subsequently released on bail. . A few days ago Liddiard was notified that Susie Red Horse, the squaw of the murdered chieftain, had gone on the war path, with a big knife in one hand and a rifle in the other. She had just heard that her husband's murderers were put on bail Almost immediately she cut her hair oi;, the significance of this action being a time-honored declaration of war among the Four Hundred of the reservation. Then the Irate s'quaw gave away all . her property, thusf. clearly indicating that she wanted to die,' but that before she did so she intended to avenge the death ; of her husband. Susie then started on the" trail of Fast Thunder and Plenty Bird, who were kept in hiding by their friends. Susie had a record. When Fast Thunder and his companion in crime were released on bail they remembered the fighting qualities of Red Horse's widow and they kept out of sight. But a mutual friend betrayed the fact of their -release. ' As soon as Susie, armed to the teeth, started on the search . for the hiding assassins the Indian police knew that if she was not stopped there would be two strange Indian faces in heaven. The police at once started in pursuit of the fighting widow. In the meantime the utmost excitement prevailed on the reservation. Word was dispatched to Deputy Marshal Liddiard, but he knew what interference in a Sioux family quarrel meant. Although a brave man, he left it to the Indian police to settle. Just a bit of dramatic tinge was added to the case. When the determined squaw went from place to place, seeking to find the hiding place of the men who killed her husband, she implored the young braves to 'betray their whereabouts. Fast Thunder was not making much noise in the meantime, and . Plenty Bird sighed for wings. They both knew what it meant to meet a squaw with a 'bad heart. especially when she was a walking arsenal. So they laid low. Just as Susie Red Horse struck a clew and there was hope of facing her husband's murderers the Indian police overtook her, and she was compelled to surrender her weapons. A few days later the police arranged an, atonement feast as an armistice. The friends of Fast Thunder and Plenty Bird gave the widow a number of ponies and reasoned with her to let the law take its course. And right here is where Cupid got into the game as a potential factor in peace. The gentle Susie Is forty-four years old and well seasoned with Sioux ugliness, but the moment she met Fast Thunder she concluded he could take the place made vacant by Red Horse's murder, and, as this disposed of the prosecuting witness, Fast Thunder accepted. Suicide of an Indian. . HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Jan. o. Thunder Hawk, an Indian brought here for his preliminary hearing on a charge of murdering a squaw named Her Good Horse and even-year-old son, at Rosebud agency, Dec. 13. hanged himself in the county jail last night with a towel. The recent execution of Two Sticks and the Indian dread of hanging was the cause. THE JyORTIILAxND LAUNCHED. Another lllg Lnke Passenger Steamship, Costing; i75O,0OO. CLEVELAND. O., Jan. 3. In the presence of thousands of enthusiastic spectators the new palatial steel pa'ssenger steamship Northland was successfully launched at the Globe shipyards this afternoon. The vessel is, with the exception of a few minor points, an exact duplicate of the steamer Northwest, which was launched by the Globe company a year ago. The, two boats are the only one3 on the great lakes ever built exclusively for the passenger trade, and are marvels of elegance in furnishings and general equipment. The Northland is 383 feet over all, 360 feet between perpendiculars, 44 feet moided breadth, 26-feet molded depth and 34 feet 5 inches depth to spar deck. The vessel is built entirely of .steel. She will have twenty-eight Belleville water-tube .boilers. Her twin engines are of the vertical quadruple type, and are designed to develop 3,500 horsepower each and propel the vessel at an average speed of twenty statute miles an hour with 195 pounds of steam and 120 revolutions. The electric plant includes a powerful electric search-light of 100,000 candle power. She will carry 442 cabin and 211 steerage passengers and a crew of 150 men. The Northland will run with her sister ship, the Northwest, between Buffalo, Cleveland, Mackinaw and Duluth. She cost about $750,000. A RAILWAY SLAUGHTER. Two Drovers and a Carload of Sheep Killed in a Wreck. . , WHITE HAVEN, Pa., Jan. 5. Two per- ( sons lost their lives and a car load , of sheep was slaughtered in a wreck on the Lehigh Valley this morning. The western ; freight train stopped at the depot siding to shift some cars. In the rear of the train were several cars of stock, a f ew cars of Chicago beef and the caboose. The drdvers accompanying the, stock were Nathan Fuller, of Nebraska, and Charles; King, of Milton. These men were asleep In the caboose. The mountain grade is very heavy here and extends 'for a mile.. At . the top of the grade the guardman saw engine No. 457, in charge of engineer' John Thompson, pulling another freieht and approaching at a terrific speed. The man made every effort to attract the attention of the engineers, as it was seen that engineer Thompson had lost control of the engine. The. railway train dashed into the caboose with tremedous force, grinding it into splinters, and the two preceding cars were thrown over a thirty-foot embankment . to the Jersey Central tracks. The sher in the cars were crushed to death. Fuller's body was mangled almost beyond recognition. King was alive when taken from the wreck, but lived only a few minutes. The tracks of both the Lehigh Valley and the Jersey Central were blocked for several l ours. . Fatal Collision In a Tnnnel. SAN FRANCISCO,. Jan: 5. By a collision with a work train in the Altamont tunnel, nine miles from Liverpool, the Los Angeles express was wrecked, its fireman killed outright and the engineer pinned beneath the wreck against the boiler of hisengine and mangled. He cannot recover. The disaster was caused by the train dispatcher rft the Oakland Mole, who sent both trains towards each other on the same track. Both trains had been informed they had the right of way. Thev met with a frightful crash in the center of the tunnel. Both engines were badly wrecked, and the ' engineer of the express was pinned against the boiler for five hours before he could be released. As far as can be learned no passengers were injured. Division Superintendent Wilder says the wreck is the worst since he has been in charge. The trains collided nine miles from a telegraph station. Six Coke Worker Injured. UNIONTOWN, Pa., Jan. 5.

FIRST MAXAGER OF THE NEW YORK ASSOCIATED PRESS. . - A Shrewd Aevrs Distributor Before and After the Introduction of the . Telegraph Ontwittins Rivals. ASBURY PARK, Jan. 5. Daniel H. Craig, who was the first' general manager of the New York Associated Press, died here at 6 o'clock thi3 morning. Mr. Craig was. the originator, of fast news service In the United , States, & field in which his efforts ante-date the introduction of the electric telegraph by a few years. The medium of communication he employed in those early days was carrier pigeons. At first, his operations were between New York and Boston-and afterwards between Boston and Halifax. At first he was engaged on his own account, but in 1817 he entered into arrangement with William M. Swain and A. S. , Bell, joint proprietors of the Philadelphia Ledger and Baltimore Sun, which, by degrees, developed into the Associated Press. Just prior to engaging in this service, Mr. Craig had been associated with F.' O. J, Smith, and the rivalries of the two ; men constitute an interesting chapter. In the history of news gathering. It is related of him that on one 6ccaslon when his rival, backed by Boston and New York newspapers, had chartered a steamer to express European news from Halifax to Boston, Craig traveled overland to Halifax, taking some carrier pigeons with him in a basket. At Halifax he took passage on a steamer inward bound from Europe and when it was within safe distance of the Massachusetts coast he let loose his carrier pigeons freighted with the cream of the news from the old world. The birds beat the chartered steamer to land and the newspapers served by Craig were enabled to score a "beat", on their irivals. This success so added to the prestige of Mr. Craig that the opposition papers gave up their chartering of steamers and left the field In the -undisputed possession of When, in 1849, the telegraph line from Boston was completed to Calais. Me., Mr. Craig established a pony news express, covering the 150 miles between Halifax and Digby, N. S., and engaged an express steamer thence fifty miles across the Bay of Fundv to St. John, N. B. This enabled him to distance competition and put it in his power to command extravagant prices for his budgets of news. It also earned for him the position of European news agent of the New York press. , John T. Smith was, at this time, Craig's most formidable competitor. The rivalries ''of - the two men constituted a subject of -frequent interest to residents of Halifax who -enjoyed watching their races from the. steamer to the telegraph office. On one occasion Smith succeeded in catching one of Craig's packages as it was tosed by the ship's purser from the paddle box to the dock and a few minutes later it Tvas being transmitted by the only wire from Halifax to Smith's patrons In New ,Y"ork. Craig's revenge came a few weeks afterwards and was ah carefully prearranged. He instructed his Liverpool agent to send by special messenger, by succeeding steamers, duplicate copies pf. latest European journals and newe , summaries, one parcel to be thrown over to hla news boat, five miles below the city and the other to be thrown over to another news boat 'stationed opposite and near the telegraph office, one mile from the steamer's wharf. A week before the next steamer Was dus, Craig engaged two new boats and arranged for a fast horse express from a point five miles below tha city, and caused the secret to leak out to Smith tha. his' news par-,A eels wera to be thrown 'over to nus Doats at the steamer near the city. The evening before tha steamer , was due, Craig made up a parcl of old European journals, including Willmer & Smith's European Times, then a noted; journal of Liverpool, taking care to have apportion of the name outside the wrapper, but carefully concealing , the date. A trusty agent was employed to stand with this parcel by the water's edge and as the steamer passed up the harbor, this parcel was thrown on to the water and recovered and then the messenger rushed at the , top of his speed to the telegraph office and deposited the dripping bogus parcel on the table' of the office, with the breathless announcement; "Here is Craig's parcel oft European news." Fifteen minutes afterward Smith, driving a fast horse, rushed from the steamer's wharf to the telegraph office. Before the horse had fairly stopped Smith had cleared the carriage p.t one bound and was at the top of the flight of stairs, which led to the operating room. The clerk pointed to the package on the-table and told him he was beaten. With a single glance at the dripping package and a malediction on his competitor. Smith turned on his heel, drove to his hotel, and in half an hour aftarwards was steaming out, of the harbor on board the steamer bound to Boston, having been hoaxed into leaving his rival the wires undisputed. Craig meantime proceeded at his leisure, after receiving his parcel from the steamer, to prepare the news for the telegraph. 4 . After this. Smith, who was the largest stockholder of the New England Morse lines, undertook to shut out his rival from the use of that company's lines.- which extended from Portland to Boston. Craig retaliated by inducing the , managers of the Maine Telegraph Company's line, another link in the system, to stop all Smith's messages from Halifax at Portland until his own tress and other European messages were "received . at that point. Craler then ran a locomotive express over the Eastern railroad from Portland to Boston, carrying his oress news and other messages, and at Boston they were telegraphed by the Bain line to New York.' ;Thls was only a temporary expedient, but -served, until the Bain line could be extended .to Portland, establishing direct connection by wire between New York and Halifax. Thus was the first telegraph monopoly -broken. ; Mr. Craig remained at Halifax in charge of the press and commercial transatlantic telegraph business until 1831," when he re moved to New Ycrk and 'thoroughly organized the Associated Press service, which may be said to have been the parent of all the press news agencies wnich hnve had an existence to the present da v. His connection with the Associated Press continued until about 18fi7. Since that time he had been engaged in numerous enterprises. Mr. Craig was 1arn in Rumney, N. H., on Nov. 3. 1811. He came to New York in ISTjO. His death this morning resulted from heart disease while he was sitting in a chair. He leaves a widow, one daughter,' Mrs. J. B. BTOwn, and one son. W. L.

LEO TO CATHOLIC EDITORS. He Praises Them for the Diffusion of Wholesome Literature. NEW YORK, Jan. 5. In acknowledgment of the address sent to Pope Lea a little less than a year ago by the Catholic editors of the United States the Pope has sent a cordial letter through Mgr. Satolli. A few extracts are made from a translation of the Latin text authorized by the apostolic delegate: "It has ever been our most arJent desire that in these days of unbridled literary license, when the world is flooded with hurtful publications, men of marked sagacity should labor for the public welfare by the diffusion of wholesome literature. That this great work was being most zealously prosecuted by our faithful children in North America we were already aware, while an address which many of them had signed and caused to be transmitted to us confirms our convictions of -their zeal." Continuing, the Pope congratulates the Catholic editors on their labor and expresses the wish that their writings may continue to please and enlighten the peop.e. lie exhorts them "at the same time to defend the rights of the church, as well as whatever is true, whatever is just, with becoming harmony and prudence." FOURNIL DEFEATEJ. Thomas Gallasuer Won tlie Ilautlieap Milliard Tournament. NEW YORK. Jan. 5. Thomas Gallagher, of Chicago, won the handicap billiard tournament at Daly's Academy, defeating Edward Fournil, the French champion. Fournil had conceded his opponent l,S0O points in a match of 3,000 points. At one time in the evening's play it looked as if Gallagher vould finish with flying colors, but Fournil at this juncture gave one of the finest exhibitions of balk-line billiards he has yet shown in this city. In the sixteenth Inning he reached and passed 200 points, the highest run of the week, and then tripped on the second shot thereafter, making a run of 201; Gallagher, , who had 189 to his credit, then" ran eleven points, winning the match. The score for the evening's play was: Fournil, 514; Gallagher, 200. The total score was: Fournil, 2,289; Gallagher, 1.2C0. The highest runs for the evening were: Fournil, 201; Gallagher, 34. Average: Gallagher, 111-31; Fournil, 52. MODERN SLAXtt IN SHAKSPEARE. Some So-Called Americanism Have a ClaMftle. Origin. Henry Cabot Lodge, in Harper's Magazine. Leaving legitimate words, and turning to the children of the street and the market place, we find some curious examples, not only of American slang, but of slang which is regarded as extremely fresh and modern. Mr. Brander Matthpws, in his most interesting article on that subject, has already pomted out that a "deck oi cards" is Shakspearean. In Henry VI (third part. Act V, scene 1), Gloucester says, ' "But while he thought to steal the single ten, . The king was slyly fingered from the deck." Mr. Matthews also cited a still more remarkable exanfple of recent slang from the sonnets, of all places in the world, where "fire out" is used in the exact colloquial sense of to-day. It occurs in the 144th sonnet, "Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt Till my bad angel fire my good one out." "Square," in the sense of fair or honest, and the verb "to be square," in the safse of to be fair or honest, are thought modern, and are now so constantly used that they have wellnigh passed beyond the boundaries or slang. If they do so, it is but a return to their old place, for Shakspeare has this use for the word, and In serious passages. In "TImon of Athens," (Act C, scene 5), the first Senator says, 'All have wot offended; For those, that were, it is not square to take ' , - On those that are, revenges."- ' In "Antony and Cleopatra" (Act II, Scene 2) Mecaenas says. "She's a most triumphant lady, if report be , square to her." "In the soup." to express defeat and disaster, is apparently very recent, and yet it is singularly like the language of Pompey in "Measure for Measure"' (Act III Scene 2, when he says. "Troth, sir. she hath eaten H her beef. ft.nd she la herself Jn the tv , Even more" VthAn saup" is the use of t "

hhl contemptuously -what may be most nearly descrfbed as large and Ineffective pretentiousness But in "Much Ado About Nothing" (Act 1, Scene 1) the messenger says: "A lord to a lord, a man to a man; stuffed with all honorable virtues." To which Beatrice replies: "It . is so, indeed; he is no less than a stuffed man: but for the stuffing Weil, we are all mortal." Here Beatrice uses the phrase "stuffed man" in contempt, catching uo the word of the messenger. "Flapjack," perhaps, is hardly to be called slang, but it is certainly an American phrase for a griddle cake. - We must have brought it with us, however, from Shakspeare's England, for there it is In Pericles (Act II. Scene 1), where the Grecian very Grecian fisherman says, "Come, thou shalt go home, and we'll have flesh for holidays, fislr-for fasting days, and moreo'er puddings and flapjacks; and thou shalt be welcome." Delusions of a Judge. FRANKLIN,' Pa., Jan. 5. Presiding Judge Charles E. Taylor, who has served sixteen years on the Venango County bench, attempted to shoot Deputy Sheriff M. M. Shoemaker. He went into the sheriff's office and started to abuse the deputy by calling him vile names. On being ordered out he pulled a revolver and cried: "I will shoot you." The deputy and two other men overpowered him and took the gun from him. Judge Taylor is seventy-four years old, and lately he has been under the delusion that Sheriff Sheaner, Deputy Shoemaker and other officials have Deen lonowing mm and spving on hi actions. The deputy threatens to enter suit against the judge for pointing firearms at him. Three "LadleR" Heard Dreeklnrldgre. CHARLESTON, S. C. Jan. 5. Col. W. C. P.
