THE ORATOR ANU STATESMAN
PASSES AWAY.
A HISTORICAL AMERICAN FIGURE.
Once Speaker of the House of Kepre
limitative*, and Succeeded Daniel
Webster In the Senate — A I.lnlc
That Hound the Present to
the Past—His Public Ca
reer Pong Ended.
Boston, Nov. 19. — Robert C. Win
throp, ex-speaker of the house of
representatives, ex-senator and fa
mous orator, died here last night at
11:.'t« o’clock. He had been in deli
cate health for a long time and the
end wus not unexpected. He had
been living in quiet retirement for
several years. He was one of Massa
chusetts' most noted men,classing high
as a statesman and orator. His gift
of oratory was something wonderful,
lie was one of the principal orators at
I tlie dedication of the Washington
j monument, the other being Senator
John W. Daniel of Virginia.
I A link that bound the present to
| the past has been broken by the
death of the venerable Robert l\
Winthrop, who connected the people
of to-day not only with the early
days of the constitution and of the
republic, but with the colonial days
as well, lie was the lincul descend
ant of Governor John Winthrop, and
of a family conspicuous in the mak
ing of Massachusetts and Connecti
cut. His father, Thomas I.indall
Winthrop, was born at New London.
Conn., a town which an ancestor
aided in establishing.
Robert Charles Winthorp, whose
death is announced, was born in lios
ton May I:.’, 1809, so that his earliest
recollections were of the second war
for independence, lie graduated at
Harvard, as his ancestors in continu
ous line had done, taking |his degree
in 1828. He read law with Daniel
Webster, whom he had known from
childhood, and whom lie had heard
deliver his great address at Ply
mouth Rock in 1820 as well as the
memorable speech at Ranker Hill
in 1824. Mr. Winthrop remained with
Mr. Webster during what he was ac
customed to speak of as “three of the
busiest and proudest years of Web
ster’s life.’’ Tlie student followed
the political teachings of the master
and when a young man became a
conspicuous Massachusetts Whig. He
was elected to the legislature in 1831,
remained in that body fer six years
and serving as speaker in 1838, 1839
and 1840.
In 1840 Mr. Winthrop was elected to
congress and served ten years. Here
he was again associated with Web
ster, and served one term as speaker
of the house.
In 1831 Mr. Winthrop was appointed
by the governor to succeed Mr. Web
ster in the senate of the United
State, when the latter became secre
tary of state under President Fill
more. With the increasing violence
of the agitation of the slavery ques
tion, Mr. Winthrop found himself un
able to satisfy the extremists on
either side._ He refused to follow
liis old political chief and was opposed
to Mr. Webster’s position in the fa
mous 7tli of March speech, and him
self voted against the fugitive slave
law, yet lie did not come up to the re
quirements of the Free Soilers, and
was defeated for governor and for
United States senator. These defeats
were by very narrow margins, but
they led to his retirement from public
life.
Mr. Winthrop was a man of fortune,
able to follow the life he preferred
and he devoted the more than forty
years remaining to him to scholar
ship, literature and philanthrope. He
adhered as a member to the‘Whig
party while he lived, but became
known to the country in other char
acters than a politician or a states
man, but principally as a great his
torical orator.

TURKEY’S EXPLANATION.
A liather Weak Statement Concerning
the Maisacre of Christiana.
Constantinople, Nov. 19.—The fol
lowing official account of the Ar
menian trouble was issued yesterday:
•‘Some Armenian brighnds provided
with arms of foreign origin joined an
insurgent Kurd tribe for the purpose
of committing excesses. They burned
and devastated several Mussulman
villages. As an instance of the
ferocitv of the Armenians, it is re
ported'that they burned alive a Mus
sulman notable. Regular troops
were sent to the scene to protect
peaceable inhabitants against these
depredations. The Ottoman troops
not only protected and respected the
submissive portion of the population,
and the women and children, but
they re-established tranquility and
order. It is not true that the Kurds
seized the furniture, effects and cat
tle of the fugitive Armenians. The
latter took their effects to the moun
tains before revolting. The Arme
nian women at present with the
Kurds belong to the families of the
brigands, and went of their own ac
cord with their husbands to the in
surgent Kurds. Respecting the vil
lages alleged to have been destroyed,
it was the Armenians who carried off
all their belongings before becoming
brigands.”
Confirmed From liulgarm.
Losuox, Nov. 19.—A dispatch to tilt
Standard from Werna, Bulgaria, says
that despite the Turkish govern
ment’s silence, facts have come out
which leave no doubt that a massacre
of Christians has occurred on as great
a scale as the butchery at Batok, Bul
garia, which sent a thrill of horror
through the civilized world. The
trouble began with the refusal of the
Armenians to pay tax on the plea,
possibly well founded, that the fre
quent Kurdish raids had impoverished
them. A few troops were sent
to collect the taxes, but were
beaten. In the meantime the gov
ernor of Bitlis reported to the
porte that a serious revolt had broken,
out and obtained permission to send
all obtainable troops to the scene.
Marshal Zeki Pasha, eoipmander of
the Fourth army corps, stationed at
Erzinger. was ordered to proceed
there and direct operations. Before
the imposing array of regulars the
Armenians tamely submitted.
The governor of Bitils resolved to
make an example in order to prevent
a repetition of the revolt He ordered
the troops to fire on the defenseless
people. The order \fas executed and
the soldiers only rested from their
labors when twenty-five villages
were destroyed and thousands0of
their inhabitants killed.
