VOLUME LXXVIL—NO. 161 SAN FRANCISCO, PACIFIC COAST NEWS, A Riot at a Brewers’ Pic- nic Held in Sac- ramento. SCARLET FEVER AT IONE. Tents Are Sent From Sacra- mento in Which the Chil- dren Will Camp. A VERY BIG COAL SHIPMENT. The Captaln of the British Warship Royal Arthur Died on His Way Home. SACRAMENTO, Can, May 19.—The brewers’ picnic, which was celebrated to- day at Richmond Grove, on the outskirts of this city, ended in a genuine riot, and geveral persons were seriously injured. A man named Fred Markey had his throat cut, and was found slowly bleeding to death near the outskirts of the grove. He was placed in an express wagon and conveyed to the Receiving Hospital, where City Physician Fowler was com- pelled to take sixteen stitches to close the ghastly wound. Markey was so completely under the influence of liquor that he was unable to give the name of his assailant. It is rumored that he was the aggressor, and stabbed some unknown man, who retali- ated by cutting his throat. At present no arrests have been made, the police being entirely at sea until the wounded man recovers from his drunken stupor sufficiently to be able to give them information of the assault. After the general fight took place a party of young hoodlums attacked Gebhart's brewers at Twentieth and O streets, smash- ing all the windows by hurling cobbles through them. The police patrol-wagon soon arrived on the scene and one of the gang was arrested and taken to the police station. A complete list of the names of those concerned in the latter outrage has been obtained by the authorities and they will all be placed under arrest to-morrow, as the police are determined to make an example of them. This particular crowd has for a long time been creating disturb- ances in the locality named. SCARLET FEVE Is EPIDEMIC. The Preston School of Industry at Tone Attacked bu the Scourge.

THE DALLES, Or., May 19.—An un- known man was this morning run over by a freight train in the railroad-yards. His body was discovered by a man, who left at once to notify the Coroner, without re- moving it from the track.

NEWS FROM THE NAVY YARD The Fish Commissioners’ Steamer Albatross to Sail for Bering Sea. An Examining Board Will Selecta Master Jolner to Fill a Vacancy. VALLEJO, CAn., May 19.—The Fish Commission steamer Albatross left the navy-yard a couple of daysago for San Francisco Bay. From there she is to go to Bering Sea. The little steamer is in good condition, and has a gentlemanly set of officers on board, who thoroughly under- stand their business. This is the only ship that has departed from the navy-yard for some months. The cruiser Olympia is lying lazily at her anchorage, with no appearance of be- ing ordered to sea for some time to come, the only item of importance of recent date transpiring on board being religious services held by the two naval chaplains and one or two shore “‘sky pilots’’ to-day. When the Olympia becomes flagship, which will be as soon as she relieves the Philadelphia, a chaplain will be stationed on board of her. Then the bluejackets will havean opportunity of having their religious interests more closely looked after, only flagships being allowed a chap- lain. The rest of the ships in the fleet have to look to the ships’ libraries to find the Bible and works of a religious character to give balm to their souls. Jack, however, is pretty good thesedays and will yield to almost any good infiuence placed within his reach. While there is considerable work being carried on at the navy-yard and a force of 800 men employed, there is no particular great haste being made on any of the yard work. The new tug for the station continues to grow in appearance each day, and before three months rolls around it is expected she will be ready for duty. An examina- tion will be held Tuesday next to fill the position of master ship-joiner, made vacant by the resignation of Charles Daly, on account of sickness. Eightor ten aspirants for the place will undergo examination. The following officers constitute the board of examiners: Captain, A. S. Barker; as- sistant naval constructor, Laurence Spear, and assistant engineer, Solon Arnold. The place has been vacant for a number of weeks and it is now intended to make a permanent appointment to the place. Among those having filed applications for examination are Thomas Houseman, ‘William Brownlie, E. H. Pray, J. D. Sher- wood, John Massey, John McGrath, Rob- ert Hood and Frank M. Perry. Others will have their names in before the exam- ination takes place. Mr. Houseman has been temporarily filling the place to the evident satisfaction of the department. It 100ks a little strange to see the stone drydock vacant, but the setting up of the jib crame and putting in of the founda- tion for the track keeps a number of hands busy about the upper part of the dock, so that it is not at all deserted about the place. Turret plates are being placed in posi- tion on the Monadnock, and as the ship nears completion the thought is being freely expressed what will be the nextlong job to go on and keep the workmen busy. A ship should be under construction at the yard at all times to keep the men here. ‘While there will be a large amount of work performed on the Hartford, yetitis and will be performed by wood-workers, who are fast dyingont, as iron-ship buildersare coming to the front. They should be en- couraged by Congress and the Navy De- partmaent. Abreast of the navy-yard Saturday night half a hundred yachts from San Francisco anchored and presented a pretty appear- ance. They left on the return trip this afternoon. 5 ‘ MONDAY MORN MAY 20, 1895. PRICE FIVE CENTS. FETE OF SANTA CRUL Many Unique Features Hastened to Com- pletion. BUILDING THE BIG DAM. Hundreds of Sacks of Sand Will Be Used in Its Construction. AWARDING THE CONTRACTS. The Work of Supplying Seating Ac~ commodations and Illumina- tion Has Begun. SANTA CRUZ, Can, May 19.—Santa Cruz has the reputation of being a Sunday city; the day of rest is here generally ob- served. But to-day there was a slight divergence from the path, for the carnival season is coming and Santa Cruz must prepare the way for its advent. The headquarters were open the entire day and many visitors were in town and availed themselves of the opportunity of visiting them, gathering information and registering their names in the beautiful rooms of the ladies’ auxiliary. The visit- ors were mostly from San Francisco, with a number from San Jose and Watsonville, who came over on their bicycles. They all leave for their homes decorated with the beantiful souvenir badge that has just made its appearance. The afternoon was a typical California one. The beach was a favorite place of re- sort and the majority of the gentlemen wore straw hats trimmed with carnival ribbons and yellow and white neckties, while the young ladies had the carnival badge of yellow and white ribbons pinned to their dresses. Nearly all the people on the beach went to the mouth of the river to inspect the work that was done during the past week on the dam. Hundreds of sacks filled with sand, the work of the men confined in the jail, were on the banks of the river ready to be used in the building of it. Chief Engineer Hood of the Pacific Im- provement Company will be in this city in a few days to pass upon the construction of the dam. It will be built as strong as possible, and every precaution will be taken in its construction. A couple of other engineers will also pass upon it. ‘The work on the electric wiring for the illumination has commenced, the con- tract for the building of the seats at the foot of Laurel street has been let, and the work will be commenced to-morrow. George Pippy of the Union League Club was one of the visitors to-day, and pro- phesied that during the carnival Santa Cruz would have to entertain more people than at any time in her history. The club will be here in a special Pullman train, and the Half-million Club will come in the same manner, remaining from Friday to Sunday. On account of the large number of peo- ple that is expected an information bureau has been opened at headquarters, where peopie who have rooms to rent may leave their name and address, and in this man- ner accommodations may be procured for all. Negotiations are being made with Good- all, Perkins & Co. for two or three large steamers to be at the wharf during the carnival week. The contract for the fireworks has been awarded to the California Fireworks Com- pany, and the California Powder Works, whose mills are near this city, will furnish the powder. The owners of thése works are very much interested in the carnival, and are working on an illuminating pow- der to be used to illuminate the city. Mrs. Ernestine Kreling of San Francisco contributes the service of a stage-manager. The souvenir programme will be out in a few days and will be sent all over the State. Professor Roncovieri was in town to-day and the contract for the furnishing of the music was signed. His great American band will play during the entire carnival week. He has composed a march entitled the “Santa Cruz Venetian Carnival March,” dedicated to Mrs. J. P. Smith. The rooms of the Ladies’ Auxiliary ap- pear more beautiful than ever, and visitors are in attendance every day. A piano is one of the latest additions, and some beau- tiful hanging baskets of ferns have been put up, while immense bunches of the beautiful azalea, which grows in such pro- fusion in the woods in this vicinity, are used to good sdvantage in the decorations. The committee of teachers from the public schools of the county, who are on the committee on promotion, have sent a circular to every teacher in the county in which they say: B ‘“‘Asitis desirable to have a complete display from our schools, the teachers are earnestly requested to present the matter before their pupils and to assist in every way to make the school parade a mem- orable event.” It is especially urged that each school be represented by a float, and some of them, especially by the country districts, will be especially beautiful. They will, as a general rule, represent some historical event. The balloting for the Queen and maids of honor is growing more exciting every day. Miss Anita Gonzales still leads in the contest for Queen. There are twenty- two names being voted on for the honor at present. GRANTS PASS MURDER. Charles Fiester Drowns His Wife in the Presence of His Children. GRANTS PASS, Ore., May 19.—A foul murder was committed near this city to- day. Charles Fiester, a man of 68 years, drowned his wife, aged 55 years, in a hole of water near the railroad track. The crime was committed in the pres- ence of three young children, the eldest of whom was 10 years old. After the murder was committed Fiester sent the children to Merlin, four miles dig- tant, to tell his older boys what he h done. The difficulty grew out of family trou- bles of long standing. The pair had been separated for a long time, and when Fies- ter came to town he prevailed on his wife to go to Merlin, where he was lodging, and keep house for him. The woman consented to go for a week, and they started for Merlin with the three children. After going about five milesa quarrel arose over her having received let- ters from a certain man, and Mrs. Fiester started back to Grants Pass, but was caught by Fiester and dragged to a hole of water about three feet deep near the track and held under water until dead. After the woman was dead the man claims to have tried to drown himself, but failed, so sitting down on ihe track, he sent the children to Merlin to tell what he had done. Later he changed his mind, and coming to this city he gave himself up to'the Sheriff. Fiester talked very freely about the matter and says he is ready to die. He has resided in Merlin fora long time and always bore a good reputation. —_—— Columbia River Excursions Inaugurated. PORTLAND, Or., May 19.—The Oregon Railway and Navigation Company inaugu- rated their summer excursions up the Columbia River. An observation-car was attached to the train to allow excurionists to view the scenery along the line. REVENGE OF VIGILANTES. An Alabama Negro Weighted Down and Dropped Into a River. MONTGOMERY, Axa., May 19.—About a month ago Jerry Shivers and two other negro men enticed three young daughters of a white farmer away from home in Cof- fey County and detained them in the woods for a week. The girls finally made their way home, but the rascals who had led them off could not be found in spite of the search being made for them. Last night, however, it was learned Shivers was in a certain house near Taber- nacle, in that county, and a posse organ- ized last night went there and secured him. He was taken to Pea River. A rope with a sinkerjwas tied around his neck and he was thrown into the river and drowned. The other two have not been heard from, HYPNOTIZED WHILE DYING. The Occult Power Utilized to Secure a Deathbed ‘ Confession. Maggle Botton’s Tragic Description of the Murder of Miilion- aire Foust. ANDERSON, Ixp., May 19.—A scene be- lieved to be without parallel was enacted ere to-day. A Judgeof the Circuit Court, aided by the court stenographer, took down the statements of a dying woman under the influence of hypnotism. Should the Judge accept the statements as true they will cut a great figure in a murder mystery. George Hires was sentenced by Judge Ellison to thirteen years in the peniten- tiary on conviction of the murder of 'Wil- liam Foust, July 8 last. The main witness against him was Maggie Botton. After the trial she confessed that her testimony was false, and that she herself had done the deed. Dr. J. B. Callen, who claims to have hypnotic power, was granted permis- sion to place the woman in the hypnotic state to ascertain which of her statements was the correct one. To-day Judge Ellison, the official court stenographer and Dr. Callen went to the hospital, where Mrs. Botton is said to be on her deathbed from consumption, and in the presence of witnesses soon had the ‘woman in the hypnotic state. Mrs. Botton spoke in a loud, clear tone, though hereto- fore, on account of her weakness, she was scarcely able to whisper. Mrs. Botton seemed to live again on the night of the crime, and in a forcible manner she re- counted the details of the crime. Mrs. Botton said the shot that killed Foust was fired by Hires. Her confession that she had done the deed was extorted from her by Hires, who said the authori- ties suspected her son. After she had been brought out of the hypnotic state she did not remember any- thing of what she had just told. Judge Ellison was greatly impressed, but he de- clined to state what effect it would haveon his ruling in the case. A motion fora new trial for Hires is pending. e TRAIN ROBBERS JAILED. Three Men Arrested for Taking Part in the Crippte Creek Hold-Up. CRIPPLE CREEK, Coro,, May 19.— Sherman Crumley, *“Kid” Wallace and Sam Wilder have been arrested on war- rants charging them with participating in the Florence and Cripple Creek train rob- bery last March. Crumley and Wallace were arrested a few days after the robbery, and were re- leased because the evidence in the pre- liminary hearing before the United States Commissioners was not sufficient to war- rant their detention. Bob Taylor and Gibson were held, as the train men posi- tively identified them. Ever since the release of Crumley and Wallace Deputy United States Marshals and the Denver and Rio Grande Express detectives have watched them, and they claim to have positive evidence of the prisoners’ guilt. PROBABLY A CANARD, No News at Jacksonville of the Alleged ZLynching of Florida Negroes. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., May 19.—Noth- ing can be learned to-day confirming or denying the story of the alleged lynching in Lafayette County, this State, of three negroes—Samuel Kchols, Sam Crowley and John Brooks—for the supposed outrages and murder of Miss Armstrong several days ago. Diligent inquiry in Jackson- ville, Madison and Ellaville, Fla., fail to get any further light beyond the mere rumor of yesterday. On this rumor many wild stories were sent out over the country last night, and wilder stories without a sl'xr]e;: of fact in them are being sent out to- night. LT P TROLLEY CARS COLLIDE. Many Passengers Injured im Another Brooklyn Accident. BROOKLYN, N. Y., May 19.—A serious collision between two trolley cars occurred this afternoon by which several passengers were seriously injured if not fatally hurt, and a number of others badly bruised. The motormen and conductors have been placed under arrest. Ofthe 100 or more passengers on the two cars the great ma- Jority received bruises of & more or less nature, and & veritable paini sueds en- SAN JOSE HAPPENINGS An Attempt at Arson Which Nearly Ended in Murder. A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. The Garden City Cyclers’ Gun Club Win the Silver Chal- lenge Cup. EXCITEMENT AT A PICNIC. Miss Emma Gregg Wanders Away From Her Friends and Nearly Loses Her Life. BAN JOSE, CaL., May 19.—The second of the series of matches between the Gilroy Sportsmen’s Protective Association and the Garden City Cyclers’ Gun Club took place at the Cyclers’ Gun Club grounds, near this city, this morning, and resulted in a victory for the latter club by a score of 219 to 165. The matches were for a silver cup, best two out of three. The first con- test took place at Gilroy a few weeks ago and was won by the Cyclers’ Gun Club, and judging by to-day’s match they be- come owners of the cup. The matches have awakened a great in- terest among sportsmen, and a large num- ber were in attendance at the grounds to-day. Afier the shoot the Gilroy team was tendered a banquet at the Lamolle House. Nothing has so served to arouse the sportsmen of the county as this series of shoots just decided. The scores were as follows: Garden City Gun Club—F. Coykendall 24, H. M. Spring 17, Lipsett 16, Hall 21, Barker 26, G. Anderson 26, Carroll 25, R. Coykendall 22, A. Schilling 23, J. Delmas 19. Total, 219. Gilroy Sportsmen’s Protective Association— F. Kimball 23, A. Bailage 19, H. Fruitig 20, E. Bannister 13, W. Talcott 9, E. Reeves 16, J. Shilue 14, J. Reves 14, G. Furlong 19, W. Phegley 18. Total, 165. The Garden City Cyclers’ Gun Club therefore scored 54 birds more than their rivals. SAN JOSE ROAD RACES. Nearly Five Seconds Clippea From the Coast Bicycle Five-Mile Record. BAN JOSE, Car., May 19.—The sixth of the series of five-mile road races of the San Jose Road Club for a silver pitcher was held over the regular course in East San ZFose this morning. Theroadsand weather were well suited for racing,anda large number of wheelmen and spectators were in attendance, F}o;;: :Idlcl?‘ulmd won ;he race and succeeded ipping mearly five seconds off the coast five-mile road record. McFarland held the former record of 13:48, and his time to.day was 13:43 2-5, He and T. E. Belloli started from scratch, and the rest were handicapped as follows: C. E. Warren and D. E.

The remainder finished in the following order: Carroll, Belloli, Bell, Hammonds, Tremoureux, Benson, Warren, O’Brien. The silver cup has to be won three times to become the property of a rider. Benson and Navlet have won it twice, Harris once and McFarland once. ARSON AND ATTEMPTED MURDER. A Dastardly Attempt to Burn Down the Azores Hotel at San Jose. SAN JOSE, CaL., May 19.—The police to-day investigated a fire that occured early this morning in the Azores Hotel on North Market street. The blaze was dis- covered by a policeman almost imme- diately after it started and was quickly ex- tinguished by a chemical engine. It was then found that the floor of the barroom and a rear room had been saturated with coal-oil, and a five-gallon can half filled with oil was found in the middle of the floor. Asleep in some small rooms on ihe sec- ond floor of the small wooden building were three Portuguese. Itis said that if the building had burned these men would surely have been roasted alive. There were no doors or windows leading out of this portion of the house, and the fire had been started at the foot of the stairway leading from the narrow, crooked hall. The proprietors of the saloon were not around the place when the fire was discov- ered and extinguished. Itis claimed that some one broke in and set the place on fire. The fixtures in the rookery are said to be worth about $25, but they are insured for $1000. It is suspected that the place was set afire to get this insurance. . The ‘perpetrafors must have known that the three lodgers upstairs were practically in a. death trap if the attempt to burn the place had been successful. Arrests may follow for arson. NEARLY LOST HER LIFE. Emma Gregg Wandered Away From Her Friends and Fell Into a Creek. SAN JOSE, CaL.,, May 10.—At a picnic of the Grace Lutheran Church at Alum Rock Park yesterday afternoon, Emma Gregg, the 16-year-old daughter of Walter Gregg, a carriage-painter of this city, sep- arated from the rest of the picnickers, and in wandering around lost herself. The Captain of Police was notified and a search made for the missing girl. After five hours’ search she was found in the bed of a small creek, about a mile away, in a partly dazed condition. She had wan- dered away from her friends, and evidently lost her way on the road back to her friends. Her clothes were wet, and she ‘was almost crazed from fright and exhaus- tion. There was considerable water in the bed of the creek, and she must have lain ‘unconscious in the stream for some time before she was discovered. Almost a Fatal Acoident at San Jose. SAN JOSE, CAL., May 19.—In a drive to Alum Rock. yesterday forenoon the horse of Mr. Delivig became unmanageable and the rig over the steep e into Penetentia Creek, a distance of forty feet. vig was seriously injured.” Miss E. Delivig and Mrs. Georgie C. Ryan, grand officers of the Native Daughters, who were visiting here, were also in the buggy but escaped uninjured. The horse was killed and the buggy was a total wreck. BITTEN BY RABID DOGS. Residents of a Missouri City Terrorized the Crazed Canines. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., May 19.—A mad-dog scare is terrorizing the people of this city. A rabid dog ran amuck in the eastern part of the city a few days ago and before being killed had bitten a number of dogs which have been going mad since and biting other dogs. This forenoon there were four rabid ani- mals loose in Wyatt park at one time and people did not dare to venture from their homes. James Harper was bitten by a rabid animal and was taken to Savannah for madstone treatment. John Quinn Lavin, a boy, was bitten yesterday. A madstone was applied and adhered for six hours, The police have killed fourteen mad- dogs to-day, among them some valuable animals. People who live in Wyatt park dare not venture out of doors after dark. By ACCUSED OF SIX MUEDERS. Carmen Ybanez Must Answer to the Mexi- can Authorities. DETROIT, Micn.,, May 19.— Carmen Ybanez, a Mexican, who finishes servinga long sentence in the House of Correction to-morrow, is wanted by the Mexican au- thorities, who accuse him of the murder of six persons December 20, 1884. Ybanez was a captain under the famous Garza, who attempted to overthrow the Diaz Government. Carmen, with a num- ber of followers, entered a ranch in Los Tortillas, in the State of Tamalpais, for the purpose of robbery, and shot and killed six persons. He was later arrested at his home in Texas, charged with en- gaging in a war with g country with which this country was at peace, and is just com- pleting his sentence for that crime. United States Marshal Ware of San Antonio is waiting to rearrest him. Sl NORTH DAKOTA FROSTS. Damage to the Wheat Crop Said to Reach 70 Per Cent. S8T. PAUL, Mixx., May 19.—Dispatches to-night from Dickinson, Grand Forks, Jamestown, St. Johns and Neche, N. D., indicate the frost of last night was the severest in many years. In some places ice formed to the extentof more than an inch. Young wheat is frozen off to the ground in many localities. One report places the damage as high as 70 per cent. There is a heavy frost in Minnesota to- night, which is very severe in the North- western counties.’ THEY MADE BAD MONEY, Denver Detectives Arrest Three of a Gang of Clever Counterfeiters. Tin Dollars, Plated With Sliver, the Product of Their Exten- sive Plant. DENVER, Coto., May 19.—City Detec- tives Loomis and Burlew have discovered what they claim to be 2 most important job of counterfeiting, and have made three important arrests, capturing at the same time a wonderfully perfect outfit for money- making. The prisoners are James C. Cor- bett, Charles Williams and George Allen. The first two were detected disposing of some of the product to a tamale man, and Corbett has made a partial confession. So far as yet ascertained the gang's operations were confined to dollar pieces, being made of tin plated with silver. Corbett and Williams recently came to Denver from Grant, Colorado. They are married to sisters, who were aware of the employment of their husbands. The authorities believe that a third sis- ter and her husband, who live in Montana, are also involved in the counterfeiting operations. George Allen, the third man under arrest, is thought to have acted as mechanic for the others. Secret Service - Agent Walker pro- nounces the dies and apparatus the finest he has ever seen it all his long experience. Their plant and facilities were also of the best order. As yet nothing is known as to how many of the counterfeits have been circulated, but it is supposed that a large number have been disposed of, as it is the theory that Denver is but one point of many at which they have been pushing their goods. COLOR LINE OBLITERATED New Reform Inaugurated by the Woman’s Club of Chicago. Character and Intelligence Made the Only Basis of Admission to the Organization. CHICAGO, ILn.,, May 19.—The Chicago Woman’s Club has obliterated the color line. Character, and character alone, backed by intelligence, is now the only condition of membership in that organ- ization. Race, color, creed, political lean- ings are pushed aside. This was ac- complished last night after a prolonged, and at times heated, discussion, and to Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson belongs much of the credit for the victory. Since Mrs. Fannie R. Williams, the well-known colored woman, had become a member of the club early last winter, the question of color had been the one live issue in the club. But the victory is only half won for the Chicago women. They must carry their point in the Federation of Women'’s clubs, a National organization with which the Chicago club is affiliated. In the federa- tion are a number of women’s clubs in Southern cities. With them, wiping out the color line isa proposition which will doubtless cause a prolonged wrangle. e CYXCLONE IN TEXA». One Life Lost and Crops Blown Out of the Ground. LULING, Tex., May 19.—A cyclone struck twelve miles south of here last even- ing, unroofing several houses and killing a small negro boy.

Everything, From a Horse to a Bicycle, Brought Into Requisition. SCHOOL LANDS TO BE OPENED. It Is Estimated That Fully 75,000 Settlers Will Rush for Reser- vation Claims. KANSASCITY, Mo., May 19.—A special to the Times from Guthrie, O. T., says: The publication of the President’s proc- lamation opening the Kickapoo Indian country to settlement created great excite- ment in this section. Although everybody was expecting the news its sudden an- notncement came as a surprise. To-day all is excitement in the towns surrounding the new El Dorado, and everything from a horse to a bicycle is being got in readiness for the coming race for farms, which bids fair to equal the great rush to the Cherokee strip. Next Thursday at noon 132,000 acres will be thrown open to settlement. Eighty- three thousand acres have been reserved for school-land purposes, but Governor Renfrew gave out word to-day that he will immediately throw open the school lands. This fact will help hundreds of people who will fail to get in on the ground floor in Thursday’s race. The trains are already bringing in hun- dreds of prospective settlers, and it is esti- mated that by Wednesday night 75,000 people will be lining the borders of the Kickapoo country. CLEVELAND URGED TO AOT. An Appeal From the Pulpit for the Out- raged Armenians. BOSTON, Mass., May 19.—Rev. Minot J. Savage, from his pulpit in the Church of the Unity, this city, to-day uttered one of the most stirring protests against the out- rageous treatment of the Armenian sub- jects by the Turkish Government that have ever been heard in this city since the news of the atrocities became known here. An audience which filled the spacious auditorium was present and all, at the request of the pastor, rose to their feet to utter a standing appeal to President Cleveland that he in some manner, by proclamation if necessary, utter the Na- tion's protests against the conduct of the Turkish Government. Mr. Savage ex- plained that the uncivilized idea that the whole Nation must be punished for the misdeeds of a single member of it was the principle actuating the persecution which had taken place in Armenia.
