Wo arc glad to stato further that most of tho recommendations of tho commilteo woro adopted by tho board of trus tees; that tho various departments and brauchen aro now so arranged and co-ordinated aw to insure, wo believe, good and eiliciont work in tho future.

Many Helpless Armenians Henton to Death by Turks. To add to tho slate of terror prevail ing at Constantinople, a third slight earthquake was experienced there Wednesday.

On Tues j day tho principal rioting was tho work of tho Sofias, Mohammedan thoologi I cal students, who chased and beat with bludgeons ovcry Armenian thoy mot. During Tuesday night a mob of SoftaB and Turks attacked tho house of a leading Armenian, Kasim Pasha, storming tho building and threatening its destruction and killing soveral per sons who Wero unable to escape from it in time. This mob also attaokod a cafo fre quented by Armenians and twenty of these unfortunate peoplo who wore found thoro woro beaton to death with bludgeons. To tho disgrace of tho authorities, not a singlo policeman appeared on tho scone, and no attompt was mndo to savo the lives of tho Ar menians. Tho Hlot Was Deliberate. Tho critical condition of affairs at Constantinople is tho sensation of thc day in London, and all tho dispatches from that city aro road with tho great est eagerness. In spito of tho assurance to the con trary of tho Armenian committeo of ! London, tho beliof prevails in official circles that tho rioting at Constanti nople was really deliberately planned, brought about by tho Armonian agita tors who aro desirous of foroing tho hands of tho powers in order to bring about direct interference U2)on tho part of Great Britain, Frauoo and Russia in tho administration of Ar menia. lt is now known definitely that at least live Armenians wero killod after they had boon arrested on Monday and this has causod great indignation.

Til RIC A T K X151) COM PL I CAT IONS With Knglnud Over tho Venezuelan. Houndury Line. A speoial to tho New York Horaldi from Washington sayB'. .Tho great in ternational question of tho hour ia thc Venezuelan boundary dispute. Secretary Olney bas prepared a dis patch to Ambassador Bayard which will soon bring tho matter to an issue. This dispatch is of a most positivo and unequivocal nature. As soon as it f-hall be placed before tho British gov ernment it will raiso an iesuo which can be settled only by the rotreat of ono or tho other governments. Tho stand taken by tho United States ih this dispatch is ono which involve? tho oldest and mont sacred tradition? of the government-nu enforcement o? the Mon roo doctrine. Secretary Olney's dispatch is in sub stance a declination in the moat posi tivei lauguiigo that tho Unitod Stator will never consent to British occupa tion of tho disputed torritory in Ven ezuela unless that nation's right there to is first determined by arbitration. In polite but firm and significants words, Secretary Olney dudares it to be ? tho belief of tho United States govern ment that tho territorial claims whioh" Grcnt Britain has set np in Venezuela aro in tho nairn e of an attempt to scizo torritory on the American continent to which sho lins no legal right. Th? seorctary points out two horns to the dilemma, leaving Groat Britain tc choose which sho will acoopt. First. If thoquarrel with Vcnezuola is an ordinary disputo, having its or igin in faulty descriptiono, imperfect turveys or other misunderstandings} a refusal to arbitrate tho same is con trary to tho precedents of Great Brit ain herself and contrary to tho practice of all oivili/.ed nations. Seoond. If, on tho othor hand, ns appears to bo tho case, and ia tho bo liof of tho president of tho United Stntot-y tho disputo ns to tho location of a boundary lino is a moro disguise under w?ioh Groat Britain is attempt? ing by superior forco tn extend hot territorial possessions in Amorion, th?? is directly violativo of tho Moniofr doctrine, and will nover bo submitted to by tho United States.
