STANDS AGHAST. Europe Is Indignant Over the Blood. Curdling Reports from Armenia. London, Nov. 19.—The chairman of the Armenian Patriotic association, G. Hagopian, has sent the following letter received from an Armenian, whose name is not given because it would jeopardize his life, to the earl of Kimberly, the secretary of state for foreign affairs. The letter is dated October 9. It says: “The so-called rebellion of the Armenians In 1893 was a got-up affair, for the repression of which the chief magnate got a decoration. This year the Kurds carried off Armenian oxen and the Armenians' appeal for their restoration w.is refused. A fight ensued. Two Kurds were killed and three were wounded. “The Kurds Immediately carried their dead before the governor, declaring the Armenian soldiers had overrun the land, killing and plundering the Kurds. This furnished a pretext for massing the troops from far and near. The troops were commanded by a pasha and a marshal and were hurried to the district. The pasha Is said to have hung from his breast, after reading it to his soldiers, an order from Constantinop’e to cut the Armenians up root and branch and adjuring them to do so if they loved their king and government. “Nearly all these things were related here and there by soldiers who took part in the horrible carnage. Some of them weeping claim the Kurds did more, and declare they only obeyed the orders of others. It is said that 100 fell to each of them to dispose of. No compassion was shown to age or sex even by the regular soldiery, not even when the victims fell suppiian,t at their feet. “Six to ten thousand persons met such a fate as even the darkest ages of darkest Africa hardly witness, for there women and tender • babes might at least have had a chance of a life of slavery, while here womanhood and innocence wore but a mockery before the cruel lust that ended its debauch by stabbing women to death with the bayonet while tender babes were Implied with the same weapon on their dead mother’s breasts or perhaps seized by the hair to have their heads lopped off with the sword.’’ Nov. 19.—The following official account of the Armenian troubles was issued Friday: “Some Armenian brigands, provided with arms of foreign origin; joined an insurgent Kurd tribe for the purpose of committing excesses; They burned and devastated severaU Mussulman villages. As an instance of the ferocity of the Armenians it is reported that they burned alive a mussulman nobleman. Regular troops were sent, to the scene to protect peaceable inhabitants against these depredations. The Ottoman troops not'*?sniprotected and respected the submissive of the population and the women and children but they reestablished order, and tranquility. Respecting the villages alleged to havQfcbern destroyed, it was the Armenians who carried off all their belongings before becoming brigands." London, Nov. 20.—JSurope is shocked and indignant over l th** blood-civrjHlng reports from Armenia. The sftation is taking’ on the aspect of that which followed the exposure of the Bulgarian outrages. The incidents run almost on parallel lines. Pretended insurrection has been used as a cloak for wholesale massacre. In the district near Philippopolis, in 1876, 12,000 people were butchered. This year, in the district of Bitlis. 10,000 Christians have met a similar fate. The diplomats see trouble ahead for Turkey if prompt redress is not made for the Armenan atrocities. It is suggested that the parties to’ the Berlin treaty take the matter in hand and discipline Turkey at once by taking control of the province out of the hands of This would be a bold step, but it is one whfcli seems justified by the circumstances. As in 1876, the porte is belittling the cruelty of its emissaries. The sultan is evidently alarmed by the cry of horror which has gone up in Europe, and is anxious to cover up .the misdeeds of his provincial agents. lie is afraid that history may repeat itself —that Armenia may prove another Bulgaria and lead to a war which will permanently dismantle his empire. WILL TAKE TIME. Business Cannot Suddenly Bo Raised from Its Depression. New York, Nov. 19. — R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review ot trade says: “In nearly all branches of business gradual improvement appears, and the hopeful feeling observed last week has continued. Then it was also noted that the main conditions of business and trade had not suddenly changed, and this becomes clearer, to the disappointment of some. Low farm products, low wages and only partial employment of labor still retard distribution, and the limited demand hinders the recovery of industries. Progress toward recovery has not ceased, and many establishments have resumed or added to their producing force, some also advancing wages, but it will take time to lift business out of its depression, and the progress made, if less than the sanguine expected, is at least encouraging. The'decision to offer tSO 000.000 bonds for replenishment of the treasury reserve was, by bankers, generally approved, but events are showing that restoration of confidence cannot by itself remove all embarrassment. “Exports of breadstuff*. cotton, provisions and oil in October were 1 57.006.367, against $68,828,935 last year, although 1.009,000 bales of cotton went abroad, and the value of the same quantities exported this year would have exceeded $70,000,000 at last year's prices, the difference in prices alone being $10,600,000 in cotton and $2,400,000 in breadstuffs. “Failures in the first week of November were rather larger than of late, liabilities amounting to $2,844,445, of which $742, 420 were of manufacturing and $2,086,977 of trading concerns. In five weeks ending November 1, liabilities in failures were $11,127,290, of which $4,464,813 were of manufacturing and $6,571,974 of trading concerns. The failures of the past week have been 270 in the United States against 323 hist year, and 38 in Canada against 36 last year." Knights of Labor. New Orleans, Nov. 17.— 1n his annual address before the Knights of Labor General Master Workman Sovereign severely criticised Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield and his recommendation for an increase of the army, together with the action of the Chicago millionaire aristocracy who were permitted to present a stand of colors to the Fifteenth infantry, as an indication of an “uneasy desire to subjugate labor through the military powers of the nation.” He urged that the assembly take strong grounds agafhst an increase of the military force of the nation, and that they “advocate a decrease in the regular army and the abolition of the state militia, for from them are coming to the surface a sense of military despotism. A Veteran Dead* Warsaw, N. Y., Noi. 19.—Maj. Jacob W. Knapp died at his home here Sunday afternoon from paralysis, with which he was stricken on Monday I.sL He was one of Gen. Phil Sheridan’s trusted lieutenants in the war. He recruited Company D, First New York dragoons, and took part in forty-four battles.
