NEW YORK , Sept. 9.-l'errant M.
Clretchjlan , secretary of the ArmenIan
Relief association , has given the following ti '
the press , taken from a direct communlc-
lon from the valley of Ioush , being an extract -
r tract from a private letter dated August ,
not written for publcaton : "The remnant
ot the people from the Sassoun region have
returned to their villages. They are rebuilding -
building the ruins , but the government Is
raising obstacles , so theIr buidings may b.
retarded. The has let
retardel. government lose
the Bakransl ICurds over the his of Sas-

ruined vlags are In terror. Kurls who are I
frlenlly with Our villages have sent us I
word saying : "For the love of God once and
fee that you may save your lIves. The go-
ernment has brought the Balransl Kurds
for the purpose of utHly extermlnatn ;
what Is left or your Ileople. ' This has
thrown the people Into great anuhh. Last
year they bad some arms with which to
defenll themselvea. This year they have
not the means of protection and are In
( utter extremity of miser ) ' . Wo see no hope
of asslstanc ? from God or nan. "
This wi help to explain ! also the meanIng
'I of a dispatch to the London Daily Tele-
.t graph to the effect that the horrors of the
! lesent famine around , the . region of tha
recent massacre arc aggravated by the fact
that peasants of a portion or the Sassoun
district , not havIng enough land to rls
wheat sUlclent for their sustenance , were
In the habit or purchasIng the remainder
from Darbeklr , In exchange for fruit and
other products. But now with the hostIle
Kudish trlbo that were the leaders of the
massacre last year Infesting the country
the Armenians dare not \ntue out or their
villages for fear of being attacked. ,

LOUISVILLE , Sept. 9.-The twent-nlnth
encampment of the Grand Army of the He-
public was opened with a parade on the arrival -
. . and staff
rival of Commander.ln.Chlef Lmler stai
at 7:30 : a. m. General Lawler and the Columbian -
lumbian post of Chicago and other organiza-
tons on thc escort special Ionon train were
met at the union depot by members of the
committees on invitation antI } reception In
carrIages. The Kentucky National guard ,
local posts and other civIc organizations were
formed on Broadway , awaIting the arrival of
the specIal train whIch was on time to the
satisfaction of the multitudes assembled along
the lIne of march from the unIon depot on
Broadway , Third and Main streets , to the
Gait IlOUte
In the first carriage with Commanler.ln- ,
Chief Lawler were Colonel W. n. Kelly ,
editor of the Louisville CommercIal and
commander or the Grand Army of the He-
public , Department of Kentucky , and the
chairmen of the invitatIon and receptIon com-
lsiittecs. The Louisville legion was a feature
of the parade.
At the Gal house the heallquarter of the
natIonal officers are beautifully decorated and
elaborate arrangement were male for re-
ceptons during the day.
Willie the recepton or tIle commander-In-
chief and his star was the most Imposing
event or the day the receptions at the depots
or Grand Army or the Republic lions and
veterans arrIvIng In other groups were equal ) '
Interest1 ; . Special traIns arrived as fast
as they could be handled In hID depots and
the local escorts were kept busy From
early morning and thrJrg ot te day dlum ,
corps were heard In all directions. as the
veterans were being escorted to their respective -
spectve headquarters on their arrival.
neports from all the raIlroads indicate that .
the roads are foil of extra trains. but the
arrangements here are certainly equal to the
entertainment of all that arc coming.
COMING BY THOUSANDS.
The railroads estimated that during last
night anti , up till noon today they have car-
ned OOOO people Into Loulvle. WIth the
blocking system on all lines crosrlng the
brIdges the trains are handled very rapidly
and are unloaded at the most conventent
places without entering the blockades at the
dEpotS. . The railroads anticipate theIr rush
wil be durIng the next twenty-four hours
as most or the vIsitors will be here for the
naval parade tomorrow morning. The big
Grand Army of the Republic parade occurs
on Wednesda moring , All the headquarters -
quarters are open today and those of Minnesota -
seta anti Colorado are very hospiable L the .
contest for the location of the next enC3mp-
ment at St. Paul or Denver. While thc In- I
flux from northern states Is tremendous yet I ,
It does not surpass the tithe tram tile south. I
All the railroads from southern states are
running trains . as close together today al pea-
sIble for safety , and their reports Indicate that
the demand for passage wIll continue all
nIght. The attendance or confederate vet-
eran9 I very large and they arc actIve In
helping the people of Louisville entertain the
Yanltees.
The decorations were thought to be corn-
pletell last Saturday , but men , women and
children are busy everywhere today putting
out more flags. The city Is lIterally covered
with folds or red white and blue. Com-
ma11er-ln.Chlef IU1ly or the Sons of Vet-
crane Is quartered wIth Commander L1wler ,
and , the Sons of Veterans will spend the week
here enroute to Knoxville , as well as many
who are enrouto to the meetIng or the Army
of the Tennessee and the dedIcation or the
monument at Chickamauga. The day Is pleasant ! -
ant and everything on the opening day Is
favorable for the most successful entertaIn-
ment of the bays 1 blue by their brother3
In gra )
Probably the most Important business that
wIll bo transacted at the present encampment
will bE the joining of the Woman's Relief
corps and tile Ladies of the Grand Army or
the Republic In one ord r. WhIle I ha not
been fully determined to do title It will bt
recommended and the sentiment In its favor
Is such that there Is hardly a doubt or the consummation -
summation of the plan. The Women's Relief
corps has expeded In the neighborhood of
$ .000.000 In charitable purpol" . I works
through all channels , while the other body ,
being confined In its labors to tins wives and .
relatives of the veterans , Is necessarily lint-
Ited. U the proposed plan Is carried out the
work will be on a greater scale than has ever
been known before.
Union Jack and the pennant proudly waved
over the city tonight. The flagship of the
feet or the National AssociatIon of Naval
Veterans was formally put In commission to-
nlht. The vessels of the squadron were profusely -
fusely decorated with fags and buntIng. They

very Informal campfires. The posts or many

CHICAGO , Sept. ! . - Thereas ! great ex-
citement In ' ark Iethodlst
ciement Hyde , circles last
night over the report that He , ' . Herbert G.
Leonard , pastor or the leading church In that
Chicago suburb , had yesterday afternoon received -
ceIved the papal blesrlng from Igr. Satoill.
I Is said the ablegate blessed 11ev. Leonard
In the name of the pope at a function at the
Convent of the Sacred Heart , to which the
MethodIst minister had ben invited. The
fact that the blessing had been bestowed
became Public through a woman who was
present She told the tory to a local paper
Mr. I.eonarl later admitted It was true he
had receIved the blessing anll that he was
proud of it. Asked when ho Intended to
leave the Methodist Episcopal church to embrace -
brace Catholcsm he saId ho would rather
not talk on that .ubject.
Later N.V. . Harris , Anrew Fowler and
Paul Cornell , deacons 1. the Hyde Park
church , were Informed of what had taken
place and they lost no time In calling upon
theIr pastor and demanding an explanation. I
was a decIdedly stormy Interview and He , ' .
Leonard did not know which way to turn to
escape the cross fire of scathIng questions
that were hurled at him from all directions.
IlLs frt excuse was that It was all a joke.
lie said he had never been interviewed , by a
newspaper man and hardly knew what he
6a1l. Then tins reporter was called In and
asked to produce his notes of questions and
answers. After these had been read Rev.
Leonard told the three trustees t that he had
gone to the convent wih a Miss Garrison ,
a former member of the Catholic church
out of pure ctirioity to see a great man , and
that Mgr. Satol had blessed the entire congregatIon -
gregatIon . of which he was a member. I
L said that the trustes or the hyde Park
church wi institute a thorough luvestlga-
