to Block halt Breed Schemes.
GUTH1UE , Ok.Dee. L-In the Osage
council , now in session , the full
bloods and half breeds compose two
parties that are doing their utmost to
defeat cacti other's pet measures.
The full bloods have the majoritybut
several of their members are obstreperous -
streperous and will not abide by the
caucus. In consequence the officers
of the body and a number of national
officers have not yet been selected and
the appointments of the full blood
governor have not been confirmed.
Yesterday the half breeds discovered -
ered that they had a majority of the
council present and immediately attempted -
tempted to rush through certain business -
iness and make the appointments as
well as permanently organizing the
house. they firs unseated Tsemsn-
anhah , whose election was contested
by a half breed and then started for
the offices. It was only when Richard -
ard Leahy , the half breed leader ,
arose and read a list of appointments
and moved that they be confirmed
that the full bloods realized what
was up.

MR. KOLB'S PLANS.

will 11o no Disturbance of rho i'eace.
WASrNGTON , Dec. 1.-N. A. Dunning -
ning , editor of the Watchman , the
Populist national organ , said today
of the probable course of Reuben F.
Koib , Populist of Alabama , who
claims to have been rightfully elected
governor : 'Mr. Kolb and the other
members of the state Populist ticket
will go before a judge or justice of
the peace in Montgomery tomorrow -
row inornin2 and take the oath
of office to the plat : to which they
were elected. Having done this
they will go formally to the state legislature -
islature , which is now in session in
Montgomery , and make a formal protest -
test against the inauguration of Col-
nel Oates and ask that an investigation -
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 willmake vigorous -
orous protest in the regular way and
rely on our people in the legislature -
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
we could get twenty Democrats to
help us it would force an investigation -
tion and put Mr. Kolb in the gubernatorial -
natorial chair. We will abide by the
investigating committee's de cisionno
matter what it may be , just so we
have an opportunity to bring persons
and show before the country the evidences -
dences of fraud which we assert was
practiced at the last election. "
"Will there lie any trouble in Montgomery -
gomery as a result of the events there
to-morrow-
"There may oe some trouble , but it
will not be of our eeltip , The entire
state militia has been i viteJ to the }
city and there will be a great number
of strangers and more or less drinking -

the people. It looks like the Demo-
Brats are seeking trouble. "

WASHINGTON , Dec. 3.-The annual
report of Secretary Lament shows a
saving of $500,000 in salaries and contingent -
tingent expenses in the administration -
tion of the war department at Washington -
ington , besides economies in the recruiting -
cruiting service , rents , etc. Expenditures -
ditures for the fiscal year were $56-
039,009 : appropriations for the current
year are $52,499,113 ; estimates for
next year are $52,313,629.
On October 1 the army numbered-
officers , 2,130 ; enlisted nten , 25,77. ; of
the latter , for various causes , only
20 , 114 were effective.
Secretary Lainont earnestly recommends -
mends legislation to estabiisli the
battalion formation now adopted by
the armies of every other civilized
nation. To effect that change he
recommends a return to the law of
1ST0 , fixing at 30,000 the limit of the
army. By the changes proposed the
army will be increased 20 per cent in
efficiency , 16 % in numbers and only G '
per cent in cost of maintenance. The
actual combative strengtlt will thus
become about 25,000 , the number
now contemplated by law , but which
is reduced by detachments and otherwise -
wise to about 20,000. It is proposed
to add two companies to each of the
twenty-five infantry regiments and
two batteries to each of the five artillery -
lery regiments. No increase iii cavalry -
alry is proposed.
Seacoast defense may now be prosecuted -
ecuted as rapidly as congress brakes
appropriations for the purpose , and
if these are sutiieieltt the project of
the Endicott board can be carried
out in twelve and one-half years.
The total cost of finishing the ar-
matnent of our twenty-eight chief
seaports is estimated to be $20,639,987
for guns , $9S01,120 for mortars , $12-
500,000 for gun carriages , $5,232(00
for mortar carriages ; a total , including -
ing contract wont , of $50,277,245.
Annual appropriations of $4,4O,000
will be required for armament during
the nett twelve years , which will
build and mount 683 high power guns
and S24 high power mortars By the
end of December we shall have
seventy-seven Imigiu power gnus and
fifty-one high power carriages.
ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.
Continuation of the horrible Story Heretofore -
tofore Related.
Loxvox , Dec. 3.-Dr. G. Thotnnaian ,
one of the Armenian physicians at
Herrick coil ego , Marsovan , Asia
Minor , who was sentenced to death
and forced to undergo terrible tortures -
tures , but was finally released through
the intervention of Great Britain in
July , 1593 , furnished to the press to
day fresh details of Turkish outrages -
rages in Armenia , as follows : "The
chief of police of Moosh , which is
tthe headquarters of the Sassonn }
district , went with a number of wend'
acmes to the village of 'rchurig
and nailed the head roan and some
others head downward to posts , beat
them and drenched them alternately
with hot and cold water : He then
attempted to assault the wife of one
of the victims , but she killed him
with a knife , whereupon the gend-
'armes made ageneral attack upon the
peasants. A stubborn struggle resulted -
sulted , in which many of the peasants -
ants were wounded and thirty of
them taken to prison. The whole
village was charged with traason.
"The Armenian villages on the
plains of lloosh and L'itlis have been
fired and their streets made to run
with blool. The villages of Kazloo
and SheikAghoob have been sacked
by Kurds and young girls made cap.
tires. At another village a miller
was burned alive. At lianzasheik
three Armenians were killed. This
is only a daily tale of the horrors in
these villages. If these details
come front villages on the open
plain , what must the truth be in
distant places in time mountains ? In
September 112 Kurds appeared in the
village of Baghezig and plundered it 4
The next day they raided the village
of Faroagh. In Daghvcran two youths
were openly butchered before the ,
eyes of their helpless relatives. I 1
could give pages of such horrors. }
"None of these wrongs have been
redressed , nor will they be so long
as Babri , himself a Kurd , remains '
governor-general of Van. Ile is the
greatest enemy of the Armenian race.
When the Porte tried to hinder time
Armenians from emigrating to Russia -
i
sia and Persia , 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 distrcts and confiscated -
fiscated all of the property of absent
Armenians , including those who had
gone away on business. Those who i
returned were thrown into p : ison. "

LEXINGTOx , Ly. , Dec. 3.-General
Cassius M. Clay , the venerable fire-
eater who recently married a girl of

at Whitehall the father was not only
glad to see him , but listened carefully -
fully to his statement of the case , at
whicu he showed that the child wife
was in no danger of being abducted ,
and that nobody wanted to do him
any bodily harm. He remained with
his father all night , and before he left
'Phitrsday the old man had promised
that he would disarm his amen and
not carry on the appearance of war
any longer.

phatically the story of his reported -
ported securing a large loan while in
the East for the payment of the indebtedness -
debtedness of the St. I'anl diocese.
lie refused to discuss time attack on
ltinm by Bishop McQuaid. Of politics ,
he said : "The election was asplendid
tiling for time business men of this
country in every respect. Confidence
has been restored. Time defeat of
the Populists is a blessed thing for
the Northwest , particularly- from a
business standpoint. Ilad Populism

withdrawn. The victory in New
York city will have its good results ,
for coming at that time it
emphasizes for every cityand
every tIistm ict the necessity '

CRISP ON LEGISLATION.
The Speaker Says That Something Must
Mc Done tl ith the : inancial ( juestion.
WASIiINGTON , Dec. 3.-Speaker Crisp
does not believe that time coming
short session of congress will be productive
ductive of much legislation. It is
very important , he says , that there
should be some legislation on
finances. "I am not prepared to state
what , if anything , may be done at
this session , but it must be apparent
to every one that the present situation -
tion should not be permitted to remain -
main long. Whatever suggestions the
administration has to make will be
awaited with great interest. Whether
or not Mr. Carlisle will present a
proposition which will meet with
general approval , no one can say until
the message comes in. A financial
system which puts it in the power of
any one to deplete the treasury of
gold and to compel the government
to increase its interest-b armng obligations -
gations by the issue of bonds is
vicious and should be corrected as
spe slily as possible. "
The spett.er . does not think there
will be tariff
any legislation dating
this session except to correct time
alcohol schedule of the present law.
1"urther legislation , Ire says , rests
