LonDOir, Jan. 14. The Speaker pub lube the following from its corre spondent at Constantinople: "In addition to the reports of Ar menians and the Catholic and Prot estant missionaries in Sassoun we hare the testimony of Turkish regu lars who took part in the outrages, and who, since their return, have boasted of their deeds. There is no donbt that they exaggerate. For in stance, one boasted that he had ripped open twenty women, while another declared that he took part in the massacre of girls and women, their blood running a stream beneath the door. It Is needless to accept such stories literally, but they prove that sucn things are done with the sultan a full approval Hundreds of these statements agree on the essential points. "The feature of the situation which presents the greatest possible danger Is that these men were rewarded and Turkish officials everywhere under atand that the sultan will reward tbem for similar treatment of the Arm 'mans. . , . . "Alarming reports come from the farthest points of Asia Minor and Northern Syria of the aggressive activity or officials against Christians. Even foreign residents are in great aanger. 11 tne powers do anything they should act quickly. It will be a fatal mistake if Europe is contented so secure the rights of Armenians in Armenia and neglect the millions out tide the province." NO BVADINQ INCOME TAX. Tha Law In Fore Evan Without Col- taction Previsions. Washington, Jan. 14. Senator Gor don of Georgia, in conversation with senators, called attention to certain provisions of the income tax which compels taxpayers to make returns and pay their taxes upon incomes whether the pending appropriation passes or not. "The defeat," he aid, "of the appropriation will not defeat the collection of the income tax from the people. Under section 29 of the law all per sons and corporations with inoomes above 93,500 are required to make re turns according to the form prescribed by the revenue department and the secretary of the treasury. This is the plain duty of citizens and the mere failure of congress to appropriate money for the more effective collec tion of the income tax cannot, of course, defeat the operation of the law. nor the attaching of heavy penalty provided for on failure to make auch returns. The only possi ble way for the opponents of the in come tax. to save the people from paying this tax is to repeal the law itself. The mere withholding of the appropriation asked will have no effect whatever, except, per haps, to deceive the uninformed and beguile them into a feeling of securi ty and to neglect compliance with the plain requirements of the law itself. Those who hope to escape the payment of the income tax through the failure of congress to make the appropriation asked for, and who are thus lei to neglect making their returns at the time fixed Jby law, will find themselves in volved in fifty per cent heavier taxes and will be compelled to pay them. Failure by congress to appropriate money to collect the in come tax will not prevent such col lection and it is wrong to the people to mislead them in this matter." CARLISLE ON THE CURRENCY. Tha Soeretary Write! a Brief Latter of Thanks to Missouri Supporter. Nevada, Ma, Jan. 14. Judge J. 0 Murray, chairman of the Vernon county Democratic committee, wrote to Congressman Charles Morgan ot tha Fifteenth district on the currency question. Mr. Morgan sent the letter to Secretary Carlisle, who wrote Mr. Morgan. "I think the change of sen timent, whlcTi Mr. Murray says has occurred in his part of the country, will take place nearly everywhere when the people come to study the financial question in all its aspects. I have never been able to see why the people who want more money would not be satisfied with any kind of money that is eertainly sound and afe, and therefore, in my opinion, any plan which proposes such a cur rency for them ought to be satis factory whether it consists of gold or liver coins or paper redeemable in fold or silver coins." , Ballroad Earnings for 1894, New York, Jan. 14. Total gross railroad earnings for the calendar fear 1894 are the most unfavorable for many years. Earnings of 114 leading American lines, with 140,000 miles of road, amount to $470,000,000 or 11 per cent less than in 1893, in which year gross earnings fell off 2.1 per cent from the total in 1893, when there was a gain in gross railway earnings of 5 per cent as contrasted with 1891. Every group of roads bowed reduced earnings last year compared with 1893. ftamored Engagement of Anna Gould. New York, Jan. 14. At Delmon 1008 last night, a New York club man and a friend of George J. Gould, de- elareid that the rumored engagement of Miss Anna Gould, youngest daugh ter of the late Jay Gould, to Harry ' Woodruff, the actor, was true and would soon be announced with the entire sanction of the Gould family. NO MATERIAL CHANGE. rail are of tha CarreaeV Scheme Has Not Olvoa an Impeta to Irade, Nkw Yore. Jan. 14. R. G. Dun &, Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade'says: Neither the beginning or tne new year nor the failure of the currency bill has brought any material change to business as yet The idea that business would suddenly take a new start after : the - holidays bad rather less foundation even than usual, but the hope of strong revival a little later is still cherished by many. There has not been much time for change in the industries, but differences observed since the new year began are not in the direction of higher prices or larger demand. 1 here are more Indications than of late that stocks of different kinds of goods have been accumulating in conse quence of vast increase in production. Speculation in products has been more active. Corn has risen 1 cents, and though receipts are but little over half last year's, the prac tical r isappcarance of the export de mand, then large, counts for about as much. Little attention is paid to the government report that the yield was only 5,213,000,000 bushels, and the advanced state for wheat 462,267, 416 bushels was treated as equally unimportant As receipts of wheat have fallen to 1,305,704 bushels, against 1,818,582 last year, and Atlan tic exports have become larger than a year ago, the advance of 1 cents in price is not surprising.

HAWAIIAN NATIVES UNEASY. linmon of a Medlt ated ITprlilnr Four Leader Arretted Hatch' Mission. Honolulu, Jan. 5. The principal topic here is the rumors of a medi tated uprising of the natives, but so far it has not materialized. The trouble seems to have com menced on New Year's night, vi hen a few agitators warned many of the natives to keep away from the saloons. This they did not do, however, as it is the great feast day of the year with them. On the 3d instant the police were more than usually alert, and agitators also, apparently, for reports of the gather ings of natives came to the police sta tion from various directions. The po lice arrested four natives, but noth ing was proved against them. Outside of the extra activity in the police department the government does not appear to take any notice of the reported uprising. It is said that one of the natives under arrest has made a confession implicating several Royalists, who will probably, be ar rested.

Our Exchanges are This Plan in All Its Provisions: AETTES THAN CARLISLE'S FLAN The Secretary of the Treasury baa pub lished a plan to get rid of what green baoks we bav left, and bestow upon bikere alone the power to issce fiat maaey, money that has no intrinsic value in H, but which, being; clothed with the power to make exchanges, they can loan to the people and draw from tbem for the use of mere pieces of paper an enor mous amount of usury and wealth. His plan is unjust, unequal, uncont titutional. It would be class legislation of the worst sort A better plan for providing safe, sound, sufficient currency must be found, and we propose the following: Repeal all laws permitting private cor porations to issue their notes for use as money. fcnact a law providing that every state may make and deposit non-negotiable bonds In the United states Treasury in sums not to exceed in the aggregate twenty-five per cent of the actual value of its taxable property, and that for bonds so made and deposited as security, bearing an annual revenue to the government of one-half ol one per cent, it shall be per mitted to draw from the Treasury ninety percent of their face value in coin or greenback dollars, which shall be full legal tender for all debts public and pri vate. By state laws that may be enacted such state bonds shall be in quantity dupli cates of county bonds deposited with the state treasurers, county bonds to be issued to provide onlv what monev each county needs, and to be limited also to twenty-five per cent of each county s taxable property, and made to bear to the state one per cent annual interest. For each deposit of county bonds with the State Treasurer the state shall de posit the same emount of state bonds in the United States Treasury, and the money which shall be advanced on such bonds shall be paid directly to the prop er officials of the counties whose bonds are deposited as security with the state. The lunds so provided and secured by boads shall constitute the capital for county government banks which shall be ir. charge of regularly elected county (bank) officials whose bonds shall be ap proved in four times the sum the people may have on deposit at any one time. The presidents, cashiers and directors of these public banks shall be paid reason able, fixed salaries. ,Tne counties shall each provide their bauking representatives the necessary safety deposit vaults, fire prooi safes and other needed furniture, blank books, etc., to conduct the entire loan, deposit and exchange business of the people of the vounty, furniture to also include a com plete set of abstracts of titles of all real state in the county. 1 h9 county government banks shall be St law required to receive all surplus ash which individuals may wish to de posit, and to pay back to depositors the full amount of their deposits, but no in terest shall be paid on such deposits. " Loans applied for shall be passed upon by a board of three bank directors, who must be agreed that the security is worth at least double the amount of the loan desired. Finding the security amply sufficient, loans shall be made on im proved farms in size not exceeding 640 acres, up to half their selling value, at two per cent per annum. Cvi homesteads In town (lots built on and owned by tha parties living on them), minin g towns excepted, loans limited to S3 per cent of their cash value shall be made at two r cent. On business .property up to 3 per cent of its cash value loans at two per cent may be made, provided the owner does not possess more than a half block of such property. On warehouse receipts for grain and cotton stored in county, state or government warehouses, loans at two per cent may be made up to 50 per cent of their market value. Per sonal security for thirty, sixty and ninety days, or fractions thereof, may be taken when notes are signed by three parties ol good repute, two of whom are established Part of the railway from Colombo to Eandy, in Cevlon, cost a human life for every sleeper.

Above rates to be reduced to cost ot conducting the business when fount above it, as doubtless would be the out as soon as all money came to be deposit ed in the government banks and all loan ing should be done by the people banks. The above plan, would make losses ex ceedingly small if adopted with all the safeguards, profits . even at these rates, cut down to perhaps one per ' cent, over labor cost, would much more than make good such possible losses. The tax-payers would thus be secured by the profits exceeding losses, and by ample bonds against the occasional dishonesty of an official of their own selecting. The state would be secured against any fraudulent or over valuation of particular counties by a state board of tax rate or valuation equalisers and by the entire taxable property of each county, and the nation al government would be secured absolute ly in its state loans by the state bonds deposited in the U. S. Treasury. There would be no more money called for (or bonds given) than the people with secur ity judge they individually need to em ploy labor, and if money could be bor rowed of county government banks at rates, say, not to exceed one per cent a year above the labor cost of loaning it, all private money loaners would be driven out of business and their money would either be turned into more labor-employ. ing capital or directly deposited with the government and so would go into the circulation without enforcing usury trib ate. The volume of money would not be greatly increased by the system we pro pose, because with government banks furnishing money at cost it would draw all money not for the present needed bj individuals to their care for absolute sf curity, and when deposits exceeded de mauds bonds could be paid off and can celled. But an amount of perpetual stale bonds drawing only one-hall of one per cent a year and of county bonds dra ring one per cent a year should be kept de posited and not paid on, to supply se curity to the government for whatever money can be used profitably as capital and is needed in excess of coin to make additional state chege would be some more than the labor cost of this machin ery of credit, but it would not be a bur den, for it would furnish an income that would reduce other taxation. There would be no interest tax, except -the slight one going to the government. Now are there any who wiH object to the above financial system. ' Yes, the bankers will object to it; all whn oun hnnlr afnolr will onll it friirhffn' names. It is not in their special interest, as are the Baltimore and Carlisle plans' Were it to be enacted into law the money power would be destroyed and honest la- Dor would be enthroned.

It would prevent panics and periodsof com mercial paralysis and enforced idleness and starvation.

The Burlington Route ie a notable ex- jeption to the general run of western railroads. During a period when railroad build ing in this country has been almost at a standstill, it has been steadily pushing forward its northwest extension and now taxes much pleasure in announcing its completion to Billings, Mont.,;838 miles irom Liincoin. At Billings connection is made with tha Northern Pacific Railroad and, under a traffic agreement with that comnanv. business of all classes is exchanged there, or, more properly sneakmir. routed through that point to and from every station on or reached via the Northern Pacific and Burlington Systems. mis flew Short Line for that is ex actly what it is reduces the distance be tween Lincoln. Kansas City. St. Louis aud the territory south and southeast of those cities, on the one hand, and Mon tana, Northern Idaho and Puget Sound points, on the other, all the way from 50 to 473 miles. It thus becomes an im portant factor in bringing the vast cope of country served by the Northern racinc into closer relationship with the Ml : l l,: : i - tt u UUBBUUn UUU KllBBMHippi V BlieyB. Just to illustrate things: The New short Line saves 294 miles between Lincoln. Omaha and Helena, 224 miles between Lincoln. Omaha and Butte, 371 miles between Lincoln. Omaha and Spokane, 54 miles between Lincoln. Omaha and Tacoma, 49 miles between Lincoln. Omaha and Seattle. The New Line has been constructed in a most substantial manner. Excellently ballasted, laid with the heaviest steel pi,on more than the usual number of ties, it equals the best and oldest portions of the Burlington System.
