One Objection to tlic Attempted Kemiaeltu-
tIon of an I leetrneiited Murderer.
New \ "i;is. Nov. 15. \ reporter
called on Gov. Flower at the Windsor
hotel yesterday evening and showed
him a copy of Dr. 1*. J. Gibbon’s Syra-
cuse letter, requesting permission to
attempt the resuscitation of Charles F.
Wilson after he is electrocuted in Au-
burn prison. Gov. Flower read the
letter ea re fully and said: “1 have not
received the letter, and will not until
my return to Albany on Friday or Sat-
urday of this week. The letter will
probably be referred to the attorney-
general for his opinion as to w hether
inch a permit can be granted. 1 can
jonceive of only one objection to the
superintendent of prisons granting
inch a request. The point may be
raised that when a person has been
Sentenced to be electrocuted, and if he
should be resuscitated it may not bo
possible to punish him again. Would
he not be a free man on the ground
that his life had been put in jeopardy
for the same crime more than once'i
Bills is a question which the attorney
general will he asked to decide.’’

MASSACRED HY TURKS.
Hie Report of a Terrible Tragedy In Ar-

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 15.—The re
port received by the London Daily
News from Constantinople Monday
that 3,000 Armenians, including women
and children, had been massacred in
the Sassoun region near Moosh. 'Turk-
ish Armenia, during a recent attack by j
Jvurds, is seemingly confirmed by a
stor.v which lias reached Varna that a
force of Bashi-bazoulcs raided a num-
ber of Armenian villages and killed
and wounded 6,000 persons.
The Daily News dispatch referred to
I said that the Kurds massacred 5,000
! ^Armenians and destroyed twenty-five
villages. The Turkish officials at Con-

regions mentioned. It was added that
Lhe British ambassador at Constan-

matter.

S. Driest sustained a motion to quash
the indictments against George M.
McDonald and E. L. Weller, formerly
president and secretary of the Guar-
antee Bond Investment Co., of Nevada,
Mo., accused of having used the
mails for the purpose of a lottery,
the investment company having been
declared such by the post otliee de-

indictment, in describing the character
of the scheme, did not establish the
fact that it w’as a lottery. This is the
second time that indictments against
McDonald and Weller have been

Judge Cole'* Derision I ore*lmdow* u Com
plrlc \ Irlory for 1 hr Government In the
Sugar Trust Cumin.
Washington. Nov. 15.—Judge Cole’s
decision, overruling the demurrer in
the case of the sugar stock brokers in-
dicted for refusing to answer senate
committee questions, is held hv the lo-
cal bar to foreshadow a complete vic-
tory for the government and the estab-
lishment of a precedent which will do
much to magnify the senate’s preroga-
tive. The punishment for the offense
charged embraces both fine and im-
prisonment, without discretion, by tip;
THE CURRENCY.
Mr. Cleveland Devoting Himself to
Financial Questions.
THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
It Ih Expected to Trent tin* Monetary Prob-
lem* In an Fxhauatlve Manner—Ameri-
can ami Fngli*li Financier* Lager
for tint New HoimIh.
Washington. Nov. 15.—The issue of
$50,000,000 in bonds, which the presi-
dent decided upon and for which Sec-
retary Carlisle issued a circular invit-
ing bids, will ease present treasury
conditions, but will not afford perma-
nent relief, and there is reason to be-
lieve that the president and the secre-
tary will submit most impor-
tant suggestions on this head
to congress in December. Legis-
lation will he asked designed to
prevent the recurrence of these condi-
tions or empowering the government
to meet them promptly and effectively
and the subject of the currency will
receive exhaustive treatment. It is al-
together probable that the labor Mr.
Cleveland is now expending on the
subject will make his December mes-
sage one of the most notable ever ad-
dressed to congress. It is said that he
will favor many of the suggestions
made by the bankers’ national conven-
vention at Baltimore in September.
What is known as the Baltimore plan,
adopted at that convention, appealed
to the president as having features of
merit. He obtained a copy of the plan
and since that time he has been study-
ing and working on the subject.
Briefly stated, the Baltimore plan pro-
vides for a guarantee fund, obtained
*‘3’ levying a small tax upon all of the
banks. This fund is to be used to pay
the notes of the banks which become
insolvent.
Since it became whispered among
financiers that the president was pre-
paring to address congress upon the
currency system, so many suggestions
have reached him that lie thought it
well to gather some expert opinion
among bankers, whom he could not
personally consult. The present
visit of William E. Curtis, assistant
secretary of the treasury, to New York
city, is understood to be for the purpose
of sounding public opinion there upon
the general subject. While Mr. Curtis

as those here involved, if Judge Cole’s
decision is not upset by the appellate
court, it logically means a term in the
district jail for the millionaire dealer
in sugar and senators.
Ill* Defiance Only Temporary.
St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. 15.—Joseph
Thompson, registry clerk at the post
office, was called on to testify before
Dension Examiner Greenstreet last
night in the case of Jacob Schultz,
who is undergoing an examination
by the pension department, hut re-
fused to utter a word, and defied the
United States to compel him. When
Schultz applied for a pension Thomp-
son made an affidavit, which has been
on file with the department. He said
that he would testify if he could be al-
low’d! to read his former testimony,
lie was im-ested by a deputy marshal
and finally decided to give his testi- I
mony.
A Victim of III* Zeal.
New York, Nov. 15.—Dr. John M.
Byron, director of the bacteriological
department of the Loomis laboratory
in the University Medical college,
while experimenting with some tuber-
culosis bacteria, became somewhat |
careless and inhaled them. Two weeks >
later he discovered that he had fallen a
victim to the disease. 11 is affliction J
has compelled him to resign his posi-
tion as pathologist and visiting physi-
cian to the Columbus hospital, and as
visiting physician to the Xew \ork
dispensary, while he has had to aban-
don his lucrative private practice.
Denver’* Strangling Mystery.
Denver, Col., Nov. 15.—The three
murders by strangulation of w omen in
Denver have not only caused the wild-
est alarm among the depraved denizens
of Market street, hut have set all classes
to speculating us to the identity of
the strangler. Medical men are in-
i clined to look upon the murders us the
work of some one with uncontrollable
homicidal tendencies, developed only
upon certain occasions. Coroner Mar-

fected and of being the murderer.

Germany Mu*t 1’iiv It* DIO Kate of Duty on
It* Salt Sent Here.
Washington, Nov. 15.— Attorney
General Olney has rendered an impor-
tant opinion involving the interpreta-
tion of the “most favored nation
clause” in the treaty betw een the Unit-
ed States and Prussia. The question
propounded by tin* secretary of tlio
treasury was whether salt imported
from the empire of Germany was duti-
able under paragraph 60S of the
new tariff act, which provided
that if salt should be imported from
any country, whether independ-
ent or a dependency, which should im-
pose a duty on salt exported from the
United States, then there should he
levied upon such salt the rate of duty
existing prior to the passage of the net.
As at present advised the attorney-
general holds that salt imported froqa
Germany is legally dutiable. So far as
tin- favored nation clause is concerned,
jjhe same argument w ill apply to beet
till gar as to salt.

Ardmore, I. T., Nov. 15.—The Dawes
commission, which has been in the In-
dian territory for the past several
months negotiating with Indians and
gathering data to lay before congress
with si view to opening tip this country
to white settlement, has completed
its labors and taken its departure
for the east. Sunday, before leav-
ing, an important conference was
held at South McAlester between
the commission and the chiefs of
the various tribes. United States Sena-
tor Jones, chairman of the senate com-
mittee on Indian affairs, together with
Senator Berry, Congressmen Mcliae
and Little, of Arkansas, and Gov. Ren-
frow and Attorney-General Galbraith,
of Oklahoma, were in attendance. The
report of the commission, which will
be submitted to the secretary of the
interior not later than the 25 th
inst, will recommend a territorial
form of government for the five civi-
ilized tribes, cutting off about four-
fifths of the Chickasaw nation and the
Kiowa and Comanche country to be an-
nexed to the state of Oklahoma. The
west line of the Seminole nation will
be extended south to Red river and

OHIO LAWLESSNESS
The Washington Court House Trou,

DOIT DECLINES TO APPEAR.
Tlie Militia Colonel YY'anted at the Coro-
ner’* Inquest, hut If He Goe* He
May He Jailed ami
Lynched.
Columbus, O., Nov. 15.—Col. Coit. of
the Ohio militia,who ordered the tiring
on the mobat Washington Court House,
declines, by the advice of his attorneys,
to go to Fayette to be examined as a
witness before the coroner’s inquest,
l’he attorneys, George Nash and Henry
B. Booth, assure the governor that
Coit’s life would be placed in jeopardy
.n going. The coroner declines to come
to Columbus to take Coit’s deposition,
nsisting that he shall go there.
Leading law abiding citizens at
Washington Court House have assured
{he governor privately that if t oit
were to go there he and Sheriff Cook
would be thrown into jail, charged
with murder, after which the coroner
would become sheriff ex-officio and
ihat the men whose friends were killed
would ride over the county and gather
i mob and both Coit and Cook would
ye dragged from the jail and lynched.
Gov. McKinley assured Col. Coit that
if he were to go and harm were to
esult, the whole power of the state
md the nation, if necessary, would be
lent to his support, but Coit’s reply
was: “What good would that do to my
wife and family after I had been jailed
or lynched?”
Lieut.-Col. W. N. P. Harrow, a grad-
uate of West Point, but now a citizen
here and an officer of the Fourteenth
Ohio national guard, said to the gov-
ernor that the regiment would not al-
low Coit to be injured, and asked the
governor to detail an escort to protect
him.
While the governor was considering
some plan by which the sending of the
militia might be averted, Col. Harrow
said: “Governor, the detail from the
Fourteenth desires to go with your
official sanction. If you cannot see
your way clear to give such sanction,
I will have the regiment go as indi-
viduals and with guns to protect the
colonel if any harm is offered.”
Attorneys at Washington Court
House, who say that the governor and
military did right in maintaining the
law, absolutely refuse to assist in tlio
legal defense of Coit. because it would he
tantamount to making arrangements
to practice law in some other county.
All law abiding people in Washington
Court House are afraid to talk publicly
in regard to the troubles.
The question which is confronting
the governor is: Shall a sheriff, elect-
ed and sworn to execute the law, and
a colonel ordered to his assistance, be
sacrificed for doing their official duty?
Rev. Dr. Gladden, who denounced the
mob in a letter to the Columbus Dis-
patch, declines to give out for publica-
tion letters received from Washington
Court House from both sides, because
the writers would be made to suffer by
members of the mob. He was threat-
ened with assassination if he should
go there for any purpose.
CiOY. LEWKLLING’8 ATTITUDE.
He Will Not Call sin Extra Session of the
Legislature.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 15.—Gov. Lewel-
ling denies that he proposes to call the
legislature together for a special ses-
sion next month. He says that a spe-
cial session could not accomplish any
more than the regular session of the
new legislature in January, and he’is
not disposed to take any political ad-
vantage of the republicans even if he
could do so by calling the old legisla-
ture together.
Speaking of his attitude toward the
incoming administration, Gov. Le wel-
ling said that he was not disposed to
cause his successor any embarrassment.
He would submit a message to the
legislature, but it would contain only
recommendations of a material char-
acter, based upon his experience ol
two years as the chief executive
of the state. He would avoid what
his critics called “vagaries” or “the-
ories.” He could, under the law, send
to the senate names for places which
will become vacant in April, but his
present intention is to leave all such
offices for his successor to fill, and he
will scud to the senate only the name?
of persons who have been appointed tc
office during the legislative recess. He
expects these nominations to be con
firmed, and if Gov. Morrill gets rid of
them it must be by removal for cause,
unless the incumbents voluntarily re*
