’ tangent ADDRESS

The Sultan 801er to Blame For the
Armenian Butcheries.

‘ HOW TO STOP THE OUTRAGES

The Grand Old Man Says England Must
Be Firm and Advises Coercion—The
Powers, He Says, Are Impotent
and Diplomacy 3 Failure.

,. LIVERPOOL, Sept. 25. — Enthusiastic
1. crowds gathered here today to hearHon.
William E. Gladstone’s address at the
meeting called by the Reform club to pro-
test against the recent massacres of Ar-

. menians at Constantinople and elsewhere.

The doors of the circus building, which

had been secured by the Reform club for

the gathering, were opened at 10 o’clock,
and at 11 the vast auditorium was packed
to the utmost.

' At the entrance of the building Mr.
Gladstone was received by. a long and
wildly enthusiastic outburst of applause
upon the part of the crowds who were on
able to obtain admittance, and when the
great Liberal leader entered the audito-
rium there was a roar of applause which
could have been heard miles away.

After the usual formalities of opening
such a meeting had been concluded the
first resolution, proposed by a Conserva-
tive and seconded by a Liberal, was put.
It read in substance:

That this meeting desires to express its in-
dignation at and abhor'rence of the cruel treat-
ment to which the Armenians are being sub-
jected by their Turkish rulers and of the mas-
sacres which have recently occurred at Coh-
stantinople, which are a disgrace to the civili-
zation of the nineteenth century.

The resolution was adopted by acclama-
tion, and then Mr. Gladstone rose to
speak. He looked well and hearty for a
man of his years of hard work and bowed
repeatedly in response to the outbursts of
cheering which signaled the reappearance
of the Grand Old Man on the battlefield of

. politics. .

Gladstone’s Resolution.

When he was able to make himself
heard, Mr. Gladstone, after a few prelim-
inary remarks, moved the following reso-
lution, which was received with thunders
of applause, during which every person
present was upon his or her feet and wild-
ly waving hats, handkerchiefs, sticks, um-
brellas or anything else imaginable:

That this meeting trusts her majesty’s min-
isters, realizing to the fullest extent the terri-
ble condition in which their fellow Christians
are placed, will do everything possible to ob-
tain for them full security and protection, and.
this meeting assunes her majesty’s ministers
that they may rely upon the cordial support
of the citizens of Liverpool in whatever steps
they may feel it necessary to take for that
purpose.

. When the applause had been calmed
down by the outstretched hand of the old
statesman, he declared his adhesion to the
principles contained in the resolutions and
said he came there not claiming any au-
thority except that of a citizen of Liver-
pool. But, he added, the national platform
upon which the meeting was based gave
greater authority for sentiments univer-
sally entertained throughout the length
and breadth of the land and urged that in
this matter party sympathies should be re-
nounced. _

Continuing, Mr. Gladstone said: “I en-
tertain the lively hope and strong belief
that the present deplorable situation is not
due to the act or default of the goyern-
ment of this great country. [Cries of
“Oh!” and cheers]

“The present movement,” he added, “is
based on the broad grounds of humanity
and is not directed against the Moham-
medans, but against the Turkish officials,
evidence of whose barbarities rests in credi-
ble, ofl‘icial reports.

The Sultan the Assassin.

“Now, as in 1876, to the guilt of mas-
sacre is added the impudence of denial,
which will continue just as long as Europe
is content to listen.”

Mr. Gladstone then expressed the opin-
ion that the purpose of the gathering was

defensive and prospective, saying that no.

one could hold out the hope that the mas-
sacres were ended, although he vontured to
anticipate that the words spoken at the
meeting would find their way to the palace
at Constantinople. [Loud cheers]

Mr. Gladstone then said: “I doubt if it
is an exaggeration to say that it was in
the sultan’s palace, and there only, that
the inspiration has been supplied and the
policy devised of the whole series of mas-
sacres. When the sultan carries massacre
into his own capital under the eyes of the
ambassadors, he appears to have gained the
very acme of what it is possible for him to
do.

“But,” the speaker further said, “the
weakness of diplomacy, I trust, is about to
be strengthened by the echo of this nation’s
voice.” [Great cheering]

Mr. Gladstone then referred to the su-
pineness of the ambassadors of the pOWers
at Constantinople and said: “The concert
of Europe is an august and useful instru-
ment, but it has not‘usuaily succeeded in
dealing with the eastern question, which
has arrived at a period when it is necessary
to strengthen the hands of the government
by an expression of national opinion.

Gladstone's Suggestion.

“I believe that the continued presence of
the ambassadors at Constantiflcple has
operated as a distinct countenance to the
sultan, who is thus their recognized ally.
But, while urging the government to act,
it does not follow that even for the sake of
the great object in view' Great Britain
should transplant Europe into a state of
war. On the other hand, however, I deny
that England must abandon her own right
to independent judgment and allow her-
self to be domineered by the other powers. ”
[Cheers]

Mr. Gladstone later remarked:
have a just title to threaten Turkey with
coercion, but that does not in itself mean
war, and I think that the first step should
be the recall. of our ambassador. [Cheers]

And it should be followed by the dismissal »

of the Turkish ambassador from London.
Such a course is frequent and would not
give the right of complaint to anybody.
When diplomatic relations are suspended,
England should inform the sultan that she
would consider the means of enforcin her
just and humane demands. I do no be-
lieve that Europe will make war to insure
the continuance of massacres more terri-
ble than ever recorded in the dismal, dc-
plorable history of human crime.” [Loud
cheering] '

Mr. Gladstone, who spoke for about 20
minutes, was in good voice and did not
seem fatigued when he had finished.

Copies of the resolutions adopted will be

forwarded to the cabinet ministers.

A DEMAND FOR TYNAN.

—__-__

England Asks France For the Alleged
ii}, namite Conspirator. "

EUSTIS TAKES UP THE CASE.

 

Our Embassador Appealed to For Pro-
tection by Tynan, Who Says That
Extradition Means Certain Death.
Ivory Arraigned In Court.

PARIS, Sept. 25.—The demand of the
British government for the extradition of
P. P. J. Tynan has been presented to the
French government.

The United States ambassador, Mr.
James B. Eustis, had a conference today
with M. Hanotaux, the minister for for-
eign'affairs, regarding the case of P. P. J.
Tynan, the alleged dynamite co irator
in custody at Boulogne-sur-Mer, c arged
with participation in the conspiracy to
blow up Balmoral castle or other build-
lugs, reported as having been unearthed
by the detectives of Scotland Yard.

Tynan, who says he is an American
citizen, has claimed protection and has
asked for the intervention of the U ited
States embassy, asserting that the oath
penalty will surely be meted out to him if
he is surrendered to the British authori-
ties who have asked for his extradition.

Ivory Arraigned.

LONDON, Sept. 25.—Edward J. Ivory,
alias Edward Bell, the American saloon
keeper who was recently arrested at Glas-
gow, charged with being connected with
the alleged dynamite conspiracy, of which
P. P. J. Tynan is said to be the moving
spirit, was arraigned at Bow Street police
court this morning.

Mr. C. F. Gill, who prosecuted the pris-
oner for the treasury department. said that
his real name was Ivory and charged him
with conspiring with Tynan, Kearney and
Heines to cause dynamite explosions in
the United Kingdom and also with aid-
ing and abetting dyn: mite offenses. Mr.
Gill claimed that the four men mentioned
left New York in August and said it was
quite clear that they were supplied with
money sent to this country by a Fenian
organization in New York for the purpose
of going to Antwerp, preparing bombs and

dynamite and then securing men in Lon- .

den. or Glasgow to commit the actual ex-
ploslons.

Continuing, Mr. Gill said that the date
of Sept. 15 had been fixed upon as the time
when they contemplated that the last step
of the conspiracy would be consummated.
Ivory, Mr. Gill added, left New York on
Aug. 19, reached Southampton on Aug. 26
and proceeded to London, his special duty
being to interview persons considered like-
ly to be willing to engage in the crimes
proposed. '

The prosecutor then gave the dates of
the different movements of the four men
referred to in Great Britain and on the
continent, saying that they employed a
cipher code in communicating with each
other. Later Mr. Gill read the letters sent
by Tynan to Ivory and those sent by Ivory
to Tynan. ,

Mr. Gill further said that on Sept. 11
Kearney and Haines, who were at Ant-
werp, concluded they were being shadowed
and telegraphed Ivory to come right away,
as the business was stopped. Ivory object-
ed and pointed out how he would disap-
point his friends if he returned to America
without concluding the business.

A long letter to Tynan was also read, in
which Ivory charged Tynan with “hug-

ging the shores of France too much” and.

not forwarding the cause enough.

The prosecutor then gave the details of
the arrest of Ivory, who, he added, claim-
ed he was an American journalist. Later
Mr. Gill stated that infernal machines of
a new pattern were found in the possession
of Kearney and Haines when they were ar-
rested.

The formal evidence of the arrest of
Ivory was then presented. After evidence
had been furnished of meetings between
Ivory and his so called fellow conspirators

at Antwerp the case was adjourned until:

tomorrow.

Tynan Breaking Down.

BOULOGNE, France, Sept. 25.—P. P. J.
Tynan, the Irish Invincible, who is under

arrest here, has rejected the suggestion Of‘

the United States consul that he employ
French lawyers named by the consul to de-
fend him and informed the consul that he
relies upon the republic'to do him justice.
Tynan looks very pale and haggard. and
his health is rapidly breaking down.

After- the Foreign Devils.

VICTORIA, B. 0., Sept. 25.—Advices
from China say that much uneasiness pre-
vails in the neighborhood of Fuchau ow-
ing to the antiforeign feeling that appears

stated that the city of Kien-Ning-Fu has
been placarded since Aug. 24 to thecfi'ect
that foreign properties will be burned
down and all foreigners found there mas-
sacred.

An Embezzler Arrested.

BOSTON, Sept. 25.—George H. Wright,
49, of Newton, Mass, cashier and book-
keeper for Sherman Hanna & Co. of this
city, was arrested today charged with em-
bezzling 8500 between August, 1895, and

out of the drawers and falsify the books
that his cash accounts seemed to balance.

: The following officers and members of
the Miners’ union are in jail under strung
guard, being held for the murder of Fire-
man O’Keefe: Peter Turnbuil, vice presi-
dent; E. J. Dewar, secretary; [George
Handy, William O’Brien, Patrick Ken-'

Eugene Cannon, Cornelius Shea, Michael ] __ .:

Weible, Gus Johnson and Nels Clausen.
Five members of the executive committee,
including President Auburn, are sti at
large, and search is being made for them.

The charge against‘Edward Boyce, pres-
ident of the Western Federation of Min-
ers, who was arrested last night, is “incitc
ing riot” and is based on a speech he made
here to the miners a couple of weeks ago.

Secretary Dewar and the other officers
of the union who are in custody declared
that the outbreak of violence Monday
morning was contrary to the policy of the
union a-nd is greatly deplored by them.

The arrests have caused consternation,
among the strikers, and, it is believed,
have greatly weakened their cause.

LONDON’S GOLD SOARE.

IThe Bank of England Advances the Rate
of Discount to Three Per Cent.

LONDON, Sept. 25.—-The governors of
the Bank of England, at today’s meeting,
advanced the minimum rate of discount
of the institution a half per cent to 3 per
cent. This is an advance of l per cent in
less than a month.

Good authorities in exchange believe
that the advance will only exert a tempo-
rary restraining influence on the outflOW'of
gold to the United States and the conti-
nent. "

While the action of the Bank of England
in advancing the rate of discount from 2%
to 3 per cent, the highest figure for over
2% years, may. check the shipments of
gold from London to the United States at
least temporarily, bankers here look for
fresh exportations of the yellow metal
shortly. .,

- The proportion of the Bank of England’s
reserve to liabilities. which last week- vvas
56.14, is now 55. 45‘per cent. During the
past week the bank lost £990, 000 bullion
on balance. '

Naval Dcsertions Numerous. I

PORT Towivsnnivn, Wash., Sept.25;-—The
naval fleet concentrated at Port Angeies
for‘ maneuvering will disband at an early
date. The mobilization has been beneficial
in thoroughly drilling the men, but disas-

recently left the Philadelphia in a body.
Owing to the ruggedness of the country
