MURDERED BY MOSLEMS.
REVIEW OF THE RECENT BLOODY
WORK IN TURKEY.
Over 13,000 Christians Known to Have

tute.
Constantinople, Nov. 27.?The following
matter has been handed to the
European manager of the United
Press, who is now in Constantinople.
The statement has the full endorsement
of Minister Terrell.
During the month of October, a considerable
part of the Armenian districts
in tne provinces of Trebizond,
Erzeroum, Bitlis, Van, Harpout, Diarbekr
and Sivas, has been laid waste
and a number, not yet fully known,
of the Armenian inhabitants have
been killed by men intent on crushing
into impotence the Aarmenian race in
Turkey. As the awful tidings have
come m by driblets, the Turkisli government
has diligently telegraphed
abroad in regard to each place, that
Armenians had attacked Mussulmans,
thus arousing a frenzy of indignation,
which could not easily be controlled,
but order had been restored after some
lnss'of life. The effect of these tele
grams has been to cultivate belief that
there has been some general rising of
Armenians and that we are in the
firesence of a calamity which is merev
the result of lawless proceedings on
tne part of the Armenians themselves.
Natural indignation with the Armenians
for rising at the very moment
when the reform scheme 'was about
to be put into operation may be moderated,
when it is known lhat up to
this date, the only authentic rising of
Armenians has taken place at Zeitoum
in the province of Aleppo, and far
from the scene of the massacre. More
over, in such cases as offer opportunity
for examination, several circumstances
cited in the Turkish dispatches
as cases of bloodshed have been provViotto
Haati incidents and not
causes of the massacres. Men who
found themselves assailed by the mob
and happened to have arms in their
houses, m a number of cases, defended
their lives and their families to
the last. At Diarbker, where the
Christians are generally armed, they
made a hard fight and some 1,500
Moslems are said to have been tilled,
but aside from this one case, the destruction
of from 10,000 to 15,000 1
Christians has not cost the Turk 3
more than two or three hundred lives, i
The statement describes specially
the preparation beginning in September,
made by the Moslems for the gen- '
era! massacre, and plundering began '
on Oct. 20, and goes on to say that '<
"only meagre returns have as yet <
come in," but the total number of i
n.r Armenian Hhrifltians so far
UUAUIO VA
reported is 13,200.
The Statement says: "It is not 1
within the purpose of this paper to 1
enter upon the question of the respon- J
sibility for these inasacres mainly con- '
fined to the six provinces especially
mentioned in the reform scheme, so 1
empty and painfully wrung from the (
porte. But if the object of the origi- .
nators of this massacre were to diminish
the Armenian population of these
provinces, the maii\ object of the men
who did tne work was plunder. Many
thousands who must have perished,
had the attack been a blind outburst '*
of fanatical fury, escaped because it 1
was an artificial movement, where cu- '
pidity was the chief motive used to 1
induce men to engage in it. And to 1
Virtinrtt. nf fhft Tiirfrioh neonle be it

said that in every one of the places so
far heard from in detail, cases occured
where Moslems sheltered Armenians
saved them from death. NearTri- (
bizond, they saved an entire village.
But the very fact that plunder was tne !
chief interest with the men engaged in
this crime, makes the position of the '
survivors most precarious because of
the universal destitution that has re- 1
suited to the victims. J
"A very low estimate of the number
thus reduced to absolute want by
the loss of all their movable property !
is 200,000 souls, of whom three-fourths :
are the wives and children of the ruined
traders or farmers.
"A survey of the situation of these
people gives the following elements of '
their desperate condition:
"All trade is broken up. All agriculture
in the devasted districts is blotted
out for the stock has been carried
off, and the implements generally
burned. All the poor semblance of
manufacturing industries in these dis
tricts have been wiped out. At least,
in numbers of cases, the ruffians took
delight in destroying machinery which
^A%T "PA A* AOMWTT O TTTO TT 4A
uioj va;uiu uub uog vi w?nj w
sell. Thousands of houses and shops
have been burned. Every house or
shop plundered was utterly emptied.
The first care of the robbers after seizing
the money and goods in a shop
was to destroy all papers, account
books and notes of hana, so that the
merchants might not be able later on
to claim payment of debts previously
incurred. The people who escaped
when their houses were attacked iled
in such clothes as they chanced to
have on, and in some cases even that
was taken from them. All their stores
?f food, painfully accumulated for the
winter, as is the custom in the rural
districts in Turkey, have been carried
away. These thousands of wretched
creatures, . bereaved, despoiled
and despairing, now face the
pitiless winter, for on those lofty
highlands of Armenia the winter is
pitless, and faint at the contemplation
of what is before them. Great numbers
of them are now dependent on
charity for their food. J3ut where
a is>inlA nnnnlatinn is tVino cmiitan
how loner can local charity support
them? Where can they go? What
^ can they do? In the midst of such
desolation, how can even the strongest
of the men earn their daily bread?"
Some space is devoted to the present
aspect of the situation. The concluding
paragraph is as follows:
"This terrible sequel to the publication
of long-delayed reforms was foreseen
by the American minister, Mr.
Terrell, who on the very day when
they were published, renewed his demand
for telegraphic orders at the
porte and made demands for the protection
of American missionaries. He
refused to leave his post^for months after
leave of absence was granted and
made no secret of his belief that the
real danger would follow the announcement
of reforms from Armenia.
Did the great powers of Europe
forsee the danger? If so, why was no
care taken to provide against it. In
every town, guards were provided for
American missionaries; none have
suffered, and the universal expression
among Americans here is that their
safety is due to Mr. Terrell's prompt
and firm action and to American inllu
ence at,the place of the porte. As t<
whether the central governinen
made an earnest effort to restrain fa
naticism, it is too early to determine.
CHARLES R. ROUSS.
Something About the Northern Friend o
the South.
New York, Nov. 28.?There is n<
one hardly in the South who wouh
not like to know something mori
about this wealthy New Yorker, wh<
has offered $100,000 to f stablish a Con
federate museum or depository foi
relics, and who, following so closeb
on this magnificent offer, only a fev
days since donated $25,000 toward re
building the recently burned Univer
sity of Virginia.
Of all the interesting characters it
this city who have been prominen
before the public for the past 30 or 4<
years but few now remain. Million
aires are numerous, but they are o
the numdrum type, and there is little
in their lives to occupy the public at
tention. There is one, however, whos<
history reads much like a fairy story,
and who, though advanced in year;
and immersed in business cares sufli
cient to stagger a man of ordinary
strength and vitality, is constantly
doing something to astonish these
blase New Yorkers, and it is always
something worth relating.
Nearly everyone in this vast city
who can read is familiar with the his
tory of Charles Broadway Rouss, the
'merchant prince of Broadway," aj
he is sometimes styled.
Mr. Rouss, as 90 per cent, of American
youth, who have afterwards
achieved greatness or wealth have
done, began his climb very low down
the ladder, and slipped once or twice
before he had passed many rounds.
His history is one of poverty and
hardship, first as a poor but respected
farmer's boy, leading a dreary, mono
tonous life on his father's farm neat
Winchester, Va., restlessly longing
for nobler things, yet patiently ploddine
and nerformin<r his duties as he
saw them.
When the war broke out he was a
small country merchant at Winches
ter with command of perhaps less
than a thousand dollars. This faded
away before the ad vicing armies and
he hastened to cast in his lot with his
beloved State. When the smoke of
that conflict cleared away he was one
of the many thousand not only out an
unremunerative job, but minus food
and clothes.
In this plight he set out for the
home of his conqueror and landed in
this Christian city with $1.80 in cool
cash. There were no bunko men then
and few sideshows on the Bowery,
consequently he was not disturbed on
account of his large possession.
Fortunately for himself, Mr. Rouss
was not so modest with his possessions
and with pluck and luck and plenty
of A1 horse sense he scuffled and battled
along in one way and another
until he became known as a man who
had bought out other men's stocks at
auction and sold them again for so of
cash at reduced prices.
After his ascent in prosperity in
New York began he had a tumble,
with debts to the amount of $51,000
"on his hands," as the saying is, but
really I should say on other people's
hands. But a little thing like this
could not floor this "Napoleon of the
auction business." He had only had
a taste of weaHh and there his real
success began when he entered the
ring again.
From this time on his career has
been one of success upon success.
From small cramped quarters he has
moved and removed until he finally
decided about five year's ago to erect
the grand building he now occupies,
the fine iron building at 549, 551, 552
Broadway, and for which he has been
offered $1,500,0.00. Tne handsome edi
fice is 10 stories high, is fireroof and
a triumph of the architect's skill and
art.
In one of these large front windows
is a magnificent lifesize painting of
General Robert E. Lee by Bruce.
Right here I will mention one of Mr.
Rouss's peculiarities. While he is a
"'I t-j i j ?
Qooie-uearieu, urua.u-ix14x1u.cu. mau,
who has lived 30 years and gained
most of his success in the North, yei
he is an ardent Southerner and loves
the cause and the people for whom he
fought. He is never so happy as when
he is donating something to some
commendable cause in the South, but
for that matter there is no more liber
al and charitable man in this city
when real distress is brought to his attention
from whatever section it may
come. The remarkable thing aboul
his charities and his donations of othei
characters is that they seem never tc
make him poorer. The more he gives
the wealthier he grows.
He has, as he deserves, a charming
family, though death has only recent
ly bereaved him, one of these being a
young sou on whom he lavishes much
affection and whom he expects to sue
ceed him in perpetuating his sound
and profitablebusiness methods.
His already great business is con
stantly growing and prospering undei
his guidance, though for the past yeai
his eyesight has totally failed him,
Overwork was the cause of it, yet he
continues to labor and direct and maj
KQ fmind o* Viiej nfflnn 1 .'J VlATirC ftllf ftl
every 24. His friends in .the Souti
send him many letters of regard anc
sympathy for his affliction, and thej
are all gratefully received.
In this short sketch it has been hare
to do justice to a character so rich anc
a history so ripe in interesting anec
dotes, but I have not attempted to dc
more than give a mere outline sketel
so that the people of the South maj
come a little nearer a correct idea o;
the man who evidently has their in
terests so much at heart and wh(
cherishes so tenderly the recollectior
of the memories of his youth so ful
of adversity though they were.

FREEDOM'S BATTLE.
5
t A Telling Speech by a CoiiHtant FrI.eixl of
Struggling Cuba.
New York, Nov. 27.?The cause of
Cuba's patriots was the topic of a big
f mass meeting held in the hall of
Cooper Union last night. The meeting
was under the auspices of the Jose
> Marti club, composed of Cubans.
1 Mr. Henry Lincoln Winter intro3
duced the Hjn. Charles A. Dana,who
was a personal friend of Marti, as
5 chairman of the meeting.He eulogized
Mr. Dana as the undying friend of
p Cuban liberty.
7 Mr. Dana was received with a veri7
table whirlwind of applause, the entire
audience rising and cheering
again and againWhen
quiet had been restored, Mr.
! Dana spoke as follows, his address l>eJ
ing frequently interrupted with ap
piausc.
I "My friends, Cubans, Americans:
[ TiJc warmth of your reception over3
whelms me. I feel that I have done
[ nothing to earn such enthusiasm and
* such sympathy. I know that it is not
1 a personal feeiing. That every flash
5 of each eye that I see before me expresses
the spirit of liberty and the
hope of independence for the fairest
[ isle of the earth. And all enthusiasm,
I delightful as it is, and the soul in
5 which it is founded upon the great
principle, liberty for all,order ana the
opportunity for every man on God's
| footstool to work out the end to which
; nature and providence have directed
* him.
"My friends.it was one of the pieces
of the very good fortune that have
[ marked a career not short, that I knew
5 Jose Marti. I knew him intimately.
1 I worked with him, side by side, and
! gathered inspiration from the ideas
that flashed from his unquenchable
soul. He was a man of conviction,he
[ was a man whose sympathies went
[ over the whole range of humanity and
sought for all the full opportunities of
: life. He died worthy. He died in the
cause dearest to his heart and w?i who
! came here tonight to recall his lovely
character,to admire his great qualities
1 and to feel that a man was consec rated
' wherever he went, may well be con|
tent to gaze upon his grave and to feel
| that he did not perish in vain. No
; man perishes who follows ideas such
| as he followed.
" For freedom's battle once begun,
1 RA/nipatliAd hv bleedinc sire to son.
| Though baffled oft, is ever won"
There was great cheering at this
point and Mr. Dana had to pause a few
1 moments till the applause ceased.
"And that grave of Marti," he resumed,
though it seems to mark the
failure and disappointment of his
greatest aspirations, is in itself a monument
on the roadside which Cuba
marches to her great destiny of universal
happiness, progress, light and
5 freedom. For my part I can sav that
wherever liberty is sought for, mere is
my country, and wherever a hand is
raised or blow struck to secure the
' freedom of a people, there is my heart
1 and all that 1 can give shall be ren'
dered as long as I live.
"The freedom of Cuba is a cause
that interests all mankind and it is a
cause that specially interests all Amer1
icans. It is on the American eonti
nent, the last foothold of mediaeval
| despotism. It is the last dungeon fin
1 which the sort is perpetuated to im1
prison the human mind and repress
the energy of man.
"I cannot share that ?inimosil,y
1 against Spain which so many of
friends feel and which I know thay
1 feel justly, because that Spain did not
make herself; she inherited the dun1
geons and the institutions; she has
inherited the despotic practices and
1 what is more, she has inherited pov,
erty.
' "Where does she go for the treasure
; that is necessary to maintain her agi|
tated system. She cannot draw it from
i the pockets of Spanish peasants; she
must draw it from the rich fields arid
, the divine sky of Cuba. But that ex!
cuse can not justify the oppression,
the tyranny and the wholesale plunder
of that great and beautiful island
from which Spain is to suppty- her
' own interests.
"So Cuba must be free." The en.
thusiasm reached fever heat and the
' audience seemed to have lost control
- of themselves under the spell of Mr.
Dana's oratory. Hats were iluog in
| the air and the women waved their
. handerchiefs in their enthusiasm."
f. "So Cuba must be free," continued
' Mr. Dana, "and Spain must be reduce d
to a system of forced economy. My
| friends, I will not detain you longer.
l" There are some letters to be read an d
| after you will hear speeches from men
( whose hearts are fired with the inspi-1
, ration of freedom, and who will u:je
' words which will correspond to the I
, spirit of freedom that pervades all I
: i i *?;~i.i ? |
_ iicitrus acre wjinguLt.
At the conclusion of Mr. Dana's
L speech letters oLregret were read from
_ Gen. Russel A. Alger of Afichigan,
, Albert W. Mclntyre, governor of
Colorado, Governor Culberson of
Texas, Congressman Amos J. Cum|

Governor Allen of North Dakota, Sen^
ator Wm. E. Chandler of New Hamp\

P Andrew uarnegie ana Augustus vv.

Congressman Wm. JSulzer was the
r next speaker, and he received an enthusiastic
greeting. He said in part:
. 4'In the present crisis in Cuba my
. sympathies are all with the heroic ana
patriotic Cubans and I sincerely hope
" and believe they will succeed. Cuta
must and will be free, and independr
ent and in my judgment the end is
, near, ihe result inevitable and the
Cuban republic will soon take iis
* stand among the nations of the world.
In this revolution, the sympathy of
, every American and every believer in
freedom and in liberty should go out
to Cuba and the Cubans."

MILLIONS FOR MILLS. ""
BOUND TO COME TO DIXIE FROI^
NEW ENGLAND.
Ail National Advantage* For Cottoi
Manufacture In FaTor of the Soutli
Northern Men Who Profited by Fore
Sight.
The Augusta Chronicle has pub
lishecl the following interesting inter
view with F. B. Deberard, of the Nev
York Dry Goods Economist:
"If all the cotton goods of America,'
said Mr. Deberard, "reached the con
sflmer by the most direct routes, th<
average cost of transportation woult
be about one-half cent a pound. Th<
consumer now pays about about 1.
cents a pound freight charges on ev
er]' pound of cotton goods ne uses
Three-fifths of the total cost of trans
portal,ion is abnormal, because it ii
paid for moving the raw material awaj
from the centers of consumption in
stead of towai'd them.
"The New England States produc*
neither cotton nor fuel. They trans
port their cotton 2,000 miles and theii
fuel 500 miles, and they transport both
away from their final destination in
stead of toward it.
"And the consumer pays the freight
lie pays for carrying the raw materia
and the fuel far away, and he pays
for bringing it back.
"Nevertheless, this abnormal trans
portation tax may not be an economic
waste. There are many elements o:
cost in manufactured products, anc
some of them may be relatively s<
low as to compensate for those thatar<
excessive.
"New Engl and pays dear for itsrav
material and fuel. To compensate foj
excessive cost of these factors it mus
have siome exceptional advantages. II
it pays more for its transportation i
may pay less i'or labor, may be supe
rior in. skill, in management, in equip
ment, in methods. If it pays mor<
than the south for some things, it maj
pay less than the south, for othei
things;. Machine for machine, it maj
turn out more product than tbe south
Operative for operative, it may pro
duce more than the south. Yard fo:
yard and pound for pound, New Eng
land's cotton goods must cost less thai
the south's, if it continues ix> maintaii
its ground.
'If New England cotton goods cos
less than southern, cotton goods, i
miirf hn Ko/iohqa Kflw "Ericland eret
more out of its machinery and worl
people: than the south gets. If it doe
not do this, itu products co3t more, it
days are numl>ered and the end is no
distant.
"What are the facts?"
"They are stated impartially in th
'Looms of the South,' upon which I an
now engaged, and every reader cai
weigh them for himself. The presen
conditions of cotton manufacturing ii
the south will be fully and honestl;
set forth. None of the data given ar
at second-hand. They are the result
of careful and prolonged personal in
vestigation and inspection. For thi
purpose nearly everv leading cotto]
mill in the soith ana a large numbe
of the minor mills have been visited
The data secured are absolutely relia
ble. In nearly every Instance the;
obtained from the account books of th
mills visited, and all figures relatin,
to outputs and costs were careful!
verified from independent sources.
"That the south is entering upon
new e:ra of wonderful prosperity cai
hardly be doubted by the unbiased ot
server.
"In the 'Looms of the South,' is oJ
fered a true picture of the beginnin,
of that prosperity.
"A few years ago New England ha
*nTTtil in fhp mnrmfflnture of cotto]
goods. Practically, the whole Araer:
can industry was tnere. With stan
ling rapidity, the south lias develope
into a formidable competitor. Th
long accepted dictum, "cotton good
can t l>e made in the south," has bee:
proven untrue. Cotton goods ar
made in the south, arid for the firs
time New England finds in full opera
tion against her economic laws tha
have hitherto been latent.
"With no competitors, New Eng
land was under no disadvantages
With the south as a competitor, ne
natural disadvantages count agains
her with full force- The natural ac
vantages are .with the south, most c
the artificial advantages are with Nev
England. Which set of forces are th
most powerful?
"It is an economic truism that nal
ural advantages persist and are of pre
gressive force, while ar tificial advan
tages diminish and finally disappeai
The south produces cotton, coal, tin
Iber, iron; and it is close to the cor
sumer. New England produces neitb
er and it is distant from the consumer
As population becomes denser, thi
fundamental advantage of the south
which can never be lessened, will ex
ert continually increasing fore?
Cheap raw material, cheap labor, an<
nearby markets are economic magnet
far more powerful than any opposin,
forces, and they are ccrtain sooner o
later to attract to their support th
fnwaa nvravAH flcainst them at the out
set.
"These opposing forces, spoken c
above as artificial advantages, are pier
tiful capital, highly developed skilJ
varied development, capable manage
ment. All of these New England ha
in abundance; but she cannot preven
their free migration. They are all th
creatures of opportunity, and if th
south offers the opportunity, capita
and skill will go south and quickl;
create the varied developments.
"This is not mere theory; it is
plain statement of what is actuall
Happening now every day, and wit!
daily growing momentum. It is th
bare truth that the south today ha
better mills than the north?they ar
the product of the best engineering
skill obtainable, and in every detail o
construction and arrangement are o
the highest and most scientific type
They are equipped with the mosi moci
ern machinery, embodying; the lates
desirabie labor-saving improvement
and are of higher average eiliciency
attested by quality and quantity o
output, than any but a few northei
mills. Moreover, they have been con
structed at far less cost than othe
mills, and represent much less cost pe
spindle or per loom than the less elli
cient northern mills. With less capi
tal invested, they have greater earn
ing power than their northern com
petitor.
"The test of the relative skill em
ployed is the quality and quantity o
the output. In the comparison of sim
ilar grades the output of the best south
ern mills is as great, and in some case
greater, than that of the best northeri
mills. It is produced with the sam<
number of machines aud the sami
number of operatives, and it is produced
at much less cost than the product
of the northern mills. Finally
d it is of higher average quality than the
northern product. So much for the
results of skill and experience.
a "As to capital, hardly a leading
southern mill but numbers among its
'* stockholders many northern investors.
- Southern energy, southern cappcity
and business shrewdness have been
the organizing forces. They have
- shown that southern men have all
- the qualities needful to command suc7
cess, and can without foreign aid develop
a great opportunity until it be"
comes a great Huccess. Upon the
- foundation laid by southern men, sa3
gacious northern capitalists have aided
1 to build a great superstructure, confjs
dent in its firmness.
t "Leading investors in all river mill
stocks are also confident investors in
. certain mills in the south, from
- which they are receiving large divi3
dends.
r "Among the capitalists of Worth
- street there are many who have been
quiet investors in southern mills, and
3 .were it fiting to publish a list of the
'directors of the mills of the south, the
r number of Worth street capitalists to
i be found amongst them would cause
- a sensation. In one such board elect
ed witnin a lew aays, is a prominent
. Worth street merchant, a great New
1 York clothing manufacturer, and two
3 New. England manufacturers, identified
with cotton goods; whilst among
the stockholders are Boston capitalists,
; Maine manufacturers of woolens, and
f others who have hitherto believed only
I in northern investments.
) " 'I put my first $5,000 investment
i in a southern mill, said a Worth street
merchant, 'just to help a man along.
T I did not regard my investment as
p worth anything. Since then, I have
t changed my opinion about southern
F mills.'
t "The merchant in question has now
- propably $500,000 invested in various
parts of the south in cottOn mills. He
3 is one of the few who understand fully
r the greatness of the opportunity,
p Those who realize it are already large
7 investors. A steady current of nortn.
ern capital is already flowiug south;
- and the current seems likely to bep
come a torrent before long."

Y It came out of the northeast and in
e three hours had well nigh dismantled
g the bark and filled her with water.
y All hands took refuge on the house,
while huge ^waves continually broke
a over the vessel. One larger tnan the
i rest swept Mate]Fraser off his feet and

him, but he quickly drifted be!
yond the reach of them, and hamperg

All tbe stores were ruined and the

Frightful Revenge.
j Madrid, Nov. 26.? Sixty-two bodies,
^ of which thirty-two were the remains
L of women, have already been recovered
from the ruins of the cartridge
7 factory at Palma, Island of Majorca,
e which was blown up yesterday. It is
said that the explosion was caused by
^ a workman who had been dismissed.
>- Fourteen years ago I was taken with an
! u'ceration of the lips, which caased me
i- great anxiety as well as suffering. Both
L" lips were perefectly raw ard very painful,
. smarting and burning all the time, causing
s me great suffering. Tbere was one sore
which remained on my under lip for 14
years, and I had grive fears as to the 1 nd.
i 1 tried the b;>st medical treatment the
s countiy tfforded, and various remedies
r that friends would prescribe, but nothing
e had any effect on me whatever until I tried
'* Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy. I saw her and
* she told me she thought sht> could cure me,
l- I tried her Kemedy last October, and my
'i lips were soon perfectly curel and have
_ been well ever since. I told Mrs. Person 1
t would pay her ?50 If she would cure me,
6 but she said no. she preferred my buying
0
j ber medicine. I did so and would rot take
y hundreds of dollars for what It has done
for me.

Germany has a blacksmith who, as
a wholesale murderer, is probably a
little ahead of Holmes of Philadelphia.
Holmes is alleged to have planted
about half a dozen victims for business
purposes. The German blacksmith
killed his father, mother, wife, brotherin-law
and the latter's son, and an assortment
of other kin folks, not for
insurance money, but for the love of
killing. His case will be tried this
week, and will add another chapter to
the history of curious criminality.
