Washington, Doe. 1.— N. A. Dun
ning, editor of the Watchman, the
I’opulist national organ. said to-day
of the probable course of Uutibcn F.
Kolb, I’opulist of Alabama, who
claims to have been rightfully elected
governor: ‘-.Mr. Kolb and the other
members of the state I’opulist ticket
will go before a judge or justice of
the peace in Montgomery to-mor
row morning uud take the oath
of oftice to the plac j to which they
were elected. Having done this
they will go formally to the state leg
islature, which is now in session in
Montgomery, and make a formal pro
test against the inauguration of Col
nel Dates anil ask that an investiga
tion be authorized by that body. It is
necessary to make the protest in this
way because there is no contest law in
the state —a condition which does not
exist in any other state in the union.
Our people in Alabama will make vig
orous protest in the regular way and
rely on our people in the legisla
ture to take up the question
and force an investigation. We have
forty-four members of that body and
the Democrats have eighty-nine. If
wo could get twenty Democrats to
help us it would force an investiga
tion and put Mr. Kolb in the guber
natorial chair. We will abide by the
Investigating committee's decision.no
matter what it may be, just so we
have an opportunity to bring persons
and show before the country the evi
dences of fraud which wo assert was
practiced at the last election."
“Will there be any trouble in Mont
gomery as a result of the events there
to-morrow?”
“There may ue some trouble, but it
will not be of ourseoking. The entire
state militia has been invited to the
city and there will be a great number
of strangers and more or less drink
lug may result in a collision between
the people. It looks like the Demo
crats are seeking trouble.”

Inflicted on ChrDtalnf by the
Kurda—Men and Women Hor
ribly Outraged and Vil
lage« Swept Away.
I.oxixin, I)ec. 3. — Dr. (5. Thoumaian,
one of the Armenian physician* at
Herrick college, Marsovan, Asia
Minor, who was sentenced to death
and forced to undergo terrible tor
tures, but was finally released through
the intervention of Great Britain in
July, 18t*3. furnished to the press to
day fresh details of Turkish out
rages in Armenia, as follows: ••The
chief of police of Moosh. which is
the headquarters of the Sassonn
district, went with a number of gond'
artnes to the village of Tchurig
and nailed the head man aud some
others head downward to posts, beat
them anil drenched them alternately
with hot and cold water. Ho then
■ attempted to assault the wife of one
1 of the victims, but she killed him
| with a knife, whereupon the gend
; 'urines made a general attack upon the
j peasants. A stubborn struggle re
| suited, in which many of the peas
| ants were wounded and thirty of
i them taken to prison. The whole
village was charged witli treason.
"The Armenian villages on the
plains of Moosli and llitlis have been
tired and their streets made to run
with blood. The villages of Kozloo
and Sheik-Aghoob have been sacked
by Kurds and young girls made cap
tives. At another village a miller
was burned alive. At Hanzusheik
three Armenians were killed. This
i is only a daily tab* of the horrors in
i these villages. If these details
) come from villages on the open
plain, what must the truth lie in
distant places in the mountains'.' In
September 112 Kurds appeared in the
village of ltaghe/.ig and plundered it.
The next day they raided the village
of Faroagh. In Dagliveran two youths
were openly butchered before the
eyes of their helpless relatives. I
could give pages of such horrors.
"None of these wrongs have been
redressed, nor will they be so long
as liahri. himself a Kurd, remains
governor-general of Van. He is the
greatest enemy of the Armenian race.
When the porte tried to hinder the
Armenians from emigrating to Hiis
sia and l’ersia, this ferocious fanatic
explained that the porte could get rid
of the Christians and at the same time
get their land. Recently he made a
tour of one of the districts and con
fiscated all of the property of absent
Armenians, including those who had
gone away on business. Those who
returned were thrown into prison."
The Papa Making Investigations,
Komk, Dec, i. — The pope has re
ceived an account of the Armenian
atrocities and is taking steps to ob
tain further details. Ilis holiness has
also received urgent appeals from
Armenians in several places asking
him to use his good office in their be
half with the sultan.
Appeals to the Vatican in addition
have been made from England, under
j the belief that none of the powers are
Willing to assume the responsibility
of opening negotiations with other
powers for joint intervention, and
also in the belief that it is impossible
for tlie pope to remain indifferent to
the sufferings of the Armenian Christ

Esmeralda. The ileal was consum
mated here within the last few days
and was managed with great adroit
ness. Chili first selling the ship to
Ecuador and the latter transferring
it to Japan. To further disguise
the fact, a report was given
currency that China had
bought the ship. This was to avert
suspicion until the cruiser was well
out of danger of being apprehended
on the high seas. She is now on her
! way to Japan by way of Tahiti. The
: purchase price was over S!,0(J0,0n:) in
j gold. The sale by Chili violates no
neutrality law, as Chili has no treaty
with China or Japan, and moreover,
her sale was to Ecuador, which is
also without a treaty with either of
the belligerents.
