WAR SHIPS GATHERING. 7 Freneh and Italian Fleets Making for Turkish Waters. Constantinople, Nuv. 14.—The Italian fleet is understood to be on its way to Solonica bay to join the British fleet of about twenty ships already there; the French fleet is expected there shortly and the representatives of the powers, as a result of communications exchangel with their governments, having had another informal meeting at the French embassy. When the fone | squadrons have united and Sir Phil ip Currie, the British Ambassador, returns, some decided steps on the part of the powers may be anticipat ed. News received here today from the district of Van records fresh massacres of Armenian christians there. The Kurds of Van are said to be attacking and pillaging the Armenian villages, and the Turkish Officials are reported powerless to preserve order. A telegram received from Sivas on Tuesday evening, but only made public to-day, says that a massacre of the Armenians has been com- \ menced in that city, but according \ to the Porte order has been restored | there. It is rumored here to-day that \ Shakir Pasha, the Imperial High ‘Commissioner for Armenian re- forms, is about to be recalled in order that he may be appointed Grand Vizier in succession to Hali Rifat Pasha, the present incumbent of that office. Ifthe rumor is cor- rect this;would seem to be another open defiance of the powers, for Shakir Pasha is regarded as the _ chief butcher of the Porte. Since his appointment at Erzeroum as igh Commissioner the massacres there have been more bloody and frequent than ever before, and he has done nothing to punish the §of- feuviers:; In fact, he has been charged with calmly looking on while the ‘Turkish soldiery fired upon every helpless christian they caught sight of. Abdulla Pasha, formerly presi- mt of the Sassoun commission of inquiry, and Sabedin Pasha have Mdcen sent to Erzeroum and Bitlis respectively to take command of the Turkish troops in those places. This _ lends color to the report. THE ERZEROUM MASSACRE. Constantinople, Nov. 14.—Every _ day brings further details of the massacres at Erzeroum and each eport-uegkes-the atory of the crimes there more ghastly. Moen, womea and children were shot, bayonetted, burned and assaulted for days, the tilling and mutilation lasting for seks, though intervals of rest are recorded. The orders\for these out- gas are said to have jbeen sent by Porte, and they weije carried out n the most cruel manne} imaginable. he number of killed will probably ever be known, but they are esti- pd at from 500 te ‘2,000, accord- o Turkish or Armenian versions fair, Ceftainly many hun fe were killed, and it is even said nat some Of the victims were skin- ed slive, While others were soaked war- tpe Turks of Erzeroum, as usual, | the places siadeldeini ith petroleum and set fire to 4 jie that the Armenians were the gressors; but independent reports equit the Armenians of doing any- hing more than attempting to de d themselves at Erzeroum, and @ Diarbekir; although at Zeitoun, re they captured a Turkish bat- jen, and at Marash, the Armenians @ admitted to have taken the jative in attacking the Turks. lati ‘e not always to blame Outbreaks, but there seems be no excuse for the fiendish mas- sres which follow. When once the Turk begins killing he never ; knows when to stop. Further troubles are also reported at Kharput, Malitich and Arabkir, it » ' a outrages are said to have been even 6 terrible and prolonged than at frzeroum. During the rioting at bh, Hadjin and Orfah, the erican missionaries, thanks to strong representations made on e subject to the Porte by the Inited States Ambassador, Mr. Ter- ~ were protected by Turkish mes.

Some of these | favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1; |others are friendly to silver and \wantit used to the fullest extent. The sound, conservative business interests of the country will admit of, but do not believe the sixteen to one idea, if it were possible to carry it out, would bring to the country that degree of prosperity the ex- treme silver men claim would ensue. There are still other democrats in the state who do not believe silver should be coined into dollars, free and unlimited, and such coins made legal tender—no matter what ratio is adopted. It would be most unfair to assume that because of any man’s particular views as to the silver question, be is any the less a good democrat—a patriotic citizen. It is an easy matter to call names and indulge in opprobrious epithets, and it must be admitted that some leading democrats have allowed their zeal to get the better of their discre- tion in discussing the silver ques- tion, and have applied to each other such terms as “Silver Crank,” “Gold Bug,” etc. This condition of things ought not to exist another day; dem- ocrats should practice tolerance and charitableness toward each other. There are great fundamental doc- trines to which we, as democrate, can all heartily subscribe, and it is wholly wrong for us to waste time and endanger party success wrang ling over a question upon which we may not be agreed, yet about which each democrat may entertain his own opinion, without in any manner af- fecting hia party standing. There should ba no further crimi- nation or recrimination. Vituperae tion and abuse cannot be productive of any good. There should be a generous rivalry as to who shall do most to heal party dissensions and to put the democratic torees in trim for the campaign of 1896. United we may easily win, divided we are sure to lose, but of course the forces can not be united except upon the basis of substantial agreement that all disturbing elements shall be elim- inated. The Times believes the democrat- ic state central committee should be called together by Chairman Maflit and tne work of orgapization com- menced at once; Mr. Maffit should become a leader, in fact, as well as in name; not a leader of a faction, but the leader of a united, harmoni- ous, invincible democracy. As chair- man of a party containing upward of three hundred thousand loyal dem- ocrats Mr. Maffitt has immense power, yet the power is coupled with and inseparable from great re- sponsibility. No matter what cer- tain extremists may demand, or what ether extremists may counsel the chairman te do, he has a duty to perform, and should perform it in such a manner as to best promote the welfare of the party whose ser- vant he is. Democratic defeats in Maryland and Kentucky should act as object lessons. Our leaders should know what is necessary to be done to in sure party harmony and succes, and should point out the way. If through dissensions in the dem ecratic ranks the state shall pass into the hands of the republicans in 1896 democratic leaders will be ealled upon to render an account of their stewardship. The party can stand defeat, but it can not and will not stand bad leadership. It can not and will not permit designing | | jmen to intrude their personalities | and at Marash the bloodshed and) into the campaign, to the exelusion | of plain democratic doctrines, under- | steed by all, and indorsed by all. If through incompetent leadership, factional strife or other harmful sources we should lose the state! next year the rank and file will! probe the matter to the very bottom, | ascertain who are to blame for it. downfall, and will not be slow to ad-| minister punishment. by direct order of the Porte, t@e- ; ene to the Turkish officials = “Deacon Bios, la. ; Heavy ands Tinware a Seeds, lon the Sea We Are A Western Chiua.

Carlisle, to fill the; vacancy on the Supreme bench. According to a gentleman, who is} in a position to bave correct inform- ation, there is practically no doubt ef the Secretary’s nomination. It is understood, if the President gives the place to Secretary Carlisle, he will even matters up by placing a New York man at the head of the Treasury Department. It is understood that bis ambition was toreturn to the Semate at the expiration of bis term in the Treas ury Department, and wind up: his politieal eareer in that body. The resuit of the election in Keitucky has made it impossible for bim te realize this nope. Ex Secretary Charles Fairchild is | tbe person the President is said to have in mind for Mr. Carlisle's suc- cessor. While the appointment of the ex-Secretary would be satisfac | jtory to the financial interests ef | New York City, it is not believed it! would tend to strengthen the Dem-} |ocrats in the Empire State. There are now in blast 228 iron! furnaces, against only 172 this time last year, and the output from Jan-) uary to October 25 this year is 7,-/ | 293,000 tons, against 4,850,000 tons | for the same period last year.

We are not prepared to engage in | war with auy first class power. We, are in the position that China occu- pied in the late war with Japan. We have a vast population, wealth, boundless resources snd in- tense patriotism. But we can not maintain an offensive or defensive attitude against anyone of the half dozen foreign countries. New York and San Francisco would be helpless against any one of the half dozen powerful ironclads. So faras the remaining cities are concerned they have no protection whatever. “Congress ought to make liberal appropriations for coast defenses and for addititional ships of war. If we had a dozen battleships of the Indi- could defy as powerful a maritime country as Great Britian. We have now four battleships bemg built and We need at least seven more: We need more fighting ships— battleships. The battleship is to the navy what the infantry is to the army It should be supplemented by tor- pedo boats, coast defense vessels and swift cruisers just as the infantry is made more effective by the employ- ment of the cavalry and artillery. “In event of war I doubt if Great Britian could send half of her vessels for she can not leave her interests in other parts of the world unpro- tected. But even a part of her great navy would be suflicient to give us great trouble at the start at least. On the other hand if we met here with a dozen powerful battle ships on the Atlantic coast, with} such other defense as we possess we could win the struggle. Meanwhile we could throw 500,000 men into Canada within a few weeks. The National Senate. When Congress convenes in De- cember the Senate will be made up as followe: Republicans, 42: Demo- crats, 37; Populists, 8. There will be one vacancy—in Delaware. To this Dupont will probably be ad- mitted giving the Republicans 43. The two Senators to be elected from Utah will give them 45, or just members. As the Vice-President,the Republicans cannot control the Sen- Silverite. For all party purposes except free coinage Stewart and Jones, of Nevada, are Republicans, and can undoubtedly be depended on to vote on that side. Irby and Till man, classified as Populist, are Dem- crats on some questions, but their votes would not give the Democrats control. The Democratic loss of two and probably the Senators in the elec- tions on Tuesday—in Ohie, Mary- land and Kenutcky—will asaure the Republicans control on the 4th of March, 1897.—N. Y¥. World.

Huwail May fe Annexed. Washington, D. C, Nov. 13.— Hawaii may after all become a part of the United States, and that with. in the coming year. Information of a trustworthy nature has been se- cured concerniug the Hawaiian pro gramme to be adopted by the friends of annexation ducing the coming winter. The joint resolution will be introduced either in the house or senate requesting the pres- ident to negotiate atreaty of annex ation with the government of Hawaii.

The resolution as introduced or amended, will provide that if the president concurs and the government of Hawaii be willing, the scheme of annexation shall in- clude a eubmission of the question of joining the American union to the voters of the island. Silent Adlai, Bloomington, Ill., Noy. 14.—Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson arriv- ed at their bome here last night from Washington. Your correspond- ent this morning called on the Vice President, but he terviewed at the present time. He said he was here simply to attend to business and family mat- ters prior to returning to Washing- ton for the coming session of Con- gress. While he positively declined to discuss Cleveland, a Western man or a third term, he did emphatically denounce as « “fake” the Pittsburg interview, in which he was made to say that Cleveland would be accord- }ed a vnanimous renomination for a third term, should he desire it. New York, Nov. 13—The Penn- sylvania of the Hamburg-American line, which will go into commission | 9 in June, is the longest vessel in the world.
