Defeat of the Antirevolution Bill Still
Being Discussed. ' I
APPROBATION OF THE PRESS.
Tho‘flohenlohe Ministry Is Not Regarded ‘
as Very Strong Owing to Grave Dis-
sensions on Questions of the
Greatest Importance.
LONDON. May 14.-—A dispatch to The ‘
Times from Berlinjsa‘ys: “When the last
paragraphs of the antirevolution bill were
read out, scarcely one Conservative re-
mained true to the government. Thus
ended ingloriously the long campaign in
defense of religion, morality and social
order. What consequences are to be ex-
pected from thls first defeat of the Hohen-
lohe ministry andwho is to blame chiefly
for the fiasco are questions new exclusive.
ly ocupylng the public opinion of Germany.
“It appears' improbable at the present
time that a ministerial crisis of great
moment is likely to result, still less a dis-
solution. An appeal to the country would,
at best, be hazardous. At the same tinic
it must not be concealed that the debates
of the last few days have been character-
ized by remarkable mistakes on the part
of the representatives of the government,
with the exception of the chancellor. But
the three chief spokesmen, Dr. Schonstodt,
minister of justice; General Bronsart von
Schellendorf, minister of War, and Herr
von Kceller, minister of the interior, all
adopted a tone completely at variance with
Chancellor von Hohenlohe, and which
contributed in no small degree to the final
failure of the measures. It will not be
surprising to learn that the defeat of the
antirevolution bil‘l creates a vacancy in
the Prussian council of ministers. No one
is inclined to'belleve that either the kaiser.
who, it is reported. had a good opinion of
Von Kceller, or Chancellor Hohcnlohe is
edified at the performance of she minister
of the interior, who, The Vorwaerts says,
deserves an honorary membership in the
Socialist party of the interior.
“’11)? No Result “’35 Reached.
“That no result was obtained is. in
the first place, owing to the fact that the
champions of religion, morality and social
order have been unable to subordinate
their own wishes to the general good. At-
tention must also be drawn to the breach
in the government Center, which doubt-
less exercised an influence in the develop-
ment of the situation. It may be taken,
for granted that the failure of the attempt _
to combat the subversive tendencies in
the basis of common law will be followed
by renewed demands for exceptional legis~
lation.
“There is scarcely a word of disappoint-
ment in the press. The Radical and So-
cialist organs are highly delighted. The
Frankfurter Zeitung says: ‘Truly the
German people could have conceived of no
fairer or more worthy celebration c the
sanguinary days of 1870 than the rejection
of the gag bill."” _
The Times in a leader says: ”The de-
cision is a serious one, and perhaps the
most serious feature is that it seems to be
thoroughly popular with some of the most
important classes of the state. It is an
unmistakable rebuff to the policy pro-
claimed by the kaiser himself in his fa-
mous speech at Kcnigsberg last September.
That result will be welcomed by a large
number of his subjects. That is not a very
satisfactory ending to the several months’
United the forces
of religion, morality and order could have
carried the day, but the one thing which,
in Germany, these forces cannot do is to
unite. The government did not care for
one part of the bills; the Center did not
care for the other. They could have car-
ried the bills as a whole had they come to
terms, but apparently they did not truSt
each other well enough to make an effect-
ive bargain. ” _
Sarcasm For \Vilhelm.
The News says: “The reichstag has
done well. The ordinary German law with
some simple amendment should be will
cient to meet all dangers. A bill to enable
the emperor-king and his advisers to un-
derstand the signs of the times would be
a far more useful piece of work. ”
The Standard in a leader says: “It is
the impression abroad that the bill was
framed and introduced without sufficient
forethoughtand defended with inadequate
vigor. . Taunts rather than arguments
seem to have been the Weapons employed.
The crown is visibly worsted in a strug-
gle of its own choosing with the country’s
representativas. The German emperor has
more than once appealed to his people to
trust him. May not the Germans say in
turn that they deserve to be trusted by the
emperor? With this or that reichstag a
ruler can afford to differ, but he cannot
safely quarrel with the sentiments and
ideals of the nation at large. "
Government Defeated Again.
BERLIN, May 14.-—The government met
with another defeat today. The relchstag
rejected the whole of the proposed tobacco
tax bill.
Rumored Petroleum Combinatioa.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 14.—The Bourse
Gazette learns that the Baku kerosene
manufacturers have agreed to establish a
union of interests; which is to last for four
years. The Grashdanin and Herold assert
that while it is possible, as reported, that
the American petroleum ring has entered
into a private understanding with the Rus-
sian union, any such agreement will not
receive official confirmation.

Afilicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Court,
says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand' up straigh
but was drawn over on one side. I trie
different remedies without receiving an
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain 5
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it to others and know'
they have been benefited by'its use. For

MORE BOWALIlEDOF
Extra Session and New Issue Rumors
Again In Circulation.
,NOT EXPECTED AT PRESENT.
There Is Said to Be Plenty of Cash on
Hand to Last Until Congress Meets,
Although Receipts Are Consid-
erably Below Expenses;
NEW YORK, May 14.——Rumcrs of-anoth-
or bond issue have been in circulation in
Washington for some days, and it has been
reported that the president had in contem-
plation the calling of an extra session of
congress to lay the whole matter before the
house and senate.
These rumors are, to say the least, pre«
mature. There is nothing in the present
condition of the treasury to warrant any
fear that it will be necessary to issue more
bonds in the immediate future. The trees-
ury receipts are running behind the ex-
penditures and will continue to do so until
increased business prosperity brings about
increased customs receipts or cuntil con-
gress enacts some supplementary tax legis-
lation. The cash balance is so' large, how-
ever, that them is no danger of the treas-
ury running é‘hcrt until the time for the
regular session of congress. and it will not
be necessary to draw on the gold reserve to
meet current expenditures. '7 -
The treasury has been losing some gold
in New York and other eastern cities by
the redemption of greenbacks, but that
loss has been more than made good by the
payments the bond syndicate has been
making on account of its purchases. This
is shown by the fact that at the close of
business Saturday the reserve stood above
$96,000,000, showing a not gain of $5,000,-
000 during‘theweek.
At the rate at which it is now making
payments the bond syndicate will have
paid in all the gold required under its con-
tract within two or three weeks, and if it
should then abandon all further efforts to
control the exchange market, and the rate
of exchange should be unfavorable to the
United States, there is no doubt there
would: be a large export demand for gold
at once. and‘the reserve would rapidly melt
away. .. .
Will the Syndicate Do It, Though?
Treasury dfiioials say there is no alarm
felt in their department on account of the
near approach of the time when the syndi-
cate will complete its payments. They
say the syndicate is obliged to continue
doing all in its power to prevent the expor-
tation of gold, and they have no doubt it
will continue to do all it can to protect the
treasury. \
The foreign exchange market is watched
very closely in the treasury department,
and it is believed there would be very lit-
tle danger of a large outflow of gold at
this time, even if the bond syndicate
should cease altogether to exert any influ-
ence on the market. One of the most no-
ticeable features of the market for some
time has been the large purchases of stocks
and bonds on foreign account, and treas-
ury officials believe that if this continues
for a short time longer there will be a flow
of gold to the United States from abroad
instead of a demand for shipment. They
regard this as practically certain to come
about late in the season, when the ship-
ment of American farm products to Eu-
rope sets in.
One of the ofilcials in confidential rela-
tions with Secretary Carlisle said that
there would be no apprehension felt in the
treasury department even if there should
be a temporary demand for gold for ex-
port. It is believed it would not be more
than temporary, and that long 'before the
gold reserve had been depleted to the dan-
ger point there would be a reaction, and
the yellow metal would begin to flew back
from Europe in payment for stocks and
bonds and for cotton, grain and meat
products. ..
Senator Brice’s Lament.
Referring to the condition of the treas-
ury, Senator Brice deplored the failure of
congress to pass the German and Allison
plan for exchequer notes to meet current
deficiencies. With .this law on the statute
books, he said, there would be absolutely
no cause for concern, no matter what the
final decision might be on the income tax
law. Concerning the fight for silver in,
Ohio and his opposition to the free coinage
Senator Brice said: ‘
“I have letters from many hundreds of
the best men in Ohio, and for the most
part they agree that while the silver agity’
tion has not entirely subsided it has de-
cidedly decreased in the last month, and
as the rise in prices and business activity
increase it will soon less a great deal of
its force. , I amsnot. regardful of the per-
sonal consequences of my stand on the all.
ver question, but I am not willing to sub-
mit to the revival of the apprehensions of
1893 and the hiding and exporting of gold
and the contraction of the currency that
brought about the panic of that year. Any
move toward the free coinage of silver
would drive out of circulation several hun- »
dred millions of gold, by the exportation
and hiding of that metal. ‘ It is not in a
political sense, but in a business one, for
the health of the country, that I am not
willing to see the agitation of the silver
question bring about a violent contraction
of the currency and a breaking up of ev-
erybody’s business. ”

'NNNN NNNNNNNNNN
A Tale of Brutal Persecution Told by
an American Citizen.
HIS STORY AUTHENTICATED.’
His Crime Consisted of Becoming an Amer-
ican—For That He Was Robbed and
Imprisoned—Deposition to: Be
Presented at Washington.
NEW YORK, May 14.-—Cricor Manassian
has arrived in this city from Marseilles,
accompanied by his wife and child. The
facts concerning Mr. Manassian’s arrest
and imprisonment in Turkey were briefly
mentioned in a cable dispatch some six
months ago. His deposition concerning
the treatment he received at the hands of
the Turkish government will this week be
presented to the department of state at
Washington.
Mr. Manassian, who is of Armenian
birth, became an American citizen in 1893
after a residence of seven years in the
United States. During most of this time
he lived at 41 Oliver street, this city, where
he carried on his trade as a shoemaker.
He is a man of medium height, an intel-
ligent face and a genial disposition. a fair
typeof the Armenian artisan class. Though
a man of no special education, he shows a
full appreciation of the nature, the rights
and the duties of American citizenship.
Mr. Manassian's statement is as follows:
“I left New York in July, 1898, and
went to my native city of Tokat, Turkey,
to visit my relatives and attend to matters
relating to my family. At Constantinople
I showed my passport at our consulate and
received a ‘yelteskere’. (permit) from the
government to goto Tokat. About three
months after I sailed from Tokat to Sam-
socn, where my nephew lay dying, I ap-
plied to the government to have my
‘teskere’ vised. They took my pass-
port also, saying the government wished
to see it. They kept both and gave me a
provisional ‘teskcre,’ with which Iwent to
Salnsoon and returned.
“I could not receive my passport, and
Was at last told, after three months, that
it was sent to Sivas to the ‘vali’ (governor
general)? I wrote to Consul Jewott at Si-
was and sent my citizensjhip papers at his
request, but could not secure the passport.
I was then beginning to inake plans to re-
turn to America. The consul wrote me
again April 15, 1894.
Delightful Oriental Methods.
“ “The veil informs me that he has sent
your papers to ton'stantinoplc.’ I was
much annoyed, but felt no alarm. \
“in September the vali came to Tokat.
I applied to him about my passports, but
he said, ‘You should not have become an
American citizen.’ ,
“Three days after. Sunday, late in the
evening. seven Turkish soldiers came into
the house where I was with my wife and
child, and in spite of my protests that I
was an American citizen and that they
had no right to arrest me without the in-
formation of an American official they
compelled me to go, saying the vali want-
ed me. I had been lying upon my bed in
my shirt sleeves, and I was forced to go as
I was.
”They took me to prison. The next
morning they put me in chains and man-
noise, with an iron ring around my neck,
together with two murderers in a dun-
geon, and then sent me in a cart to
Amasia. I felt likodead with confusion
when the people saw my terrible disgrace,
especially as they knew I was an Ameri~
can.
“From Amasla to Kavak they made me
walk in chains with the murderers, five
days' distance, making me sleep at night
in dungeons and chains. My feet were so
swollen I could not walk any more and
persuaded the murderers to pay for a cart
till Samsocn, eight hours, was reached,
which we could not walk in three days.
”Neither I nor my friends could send
telegrams. The messages would be accept-
ed, but not sent. But a person was sent to
Sivas and information given to Consul
Jowett, and yet nothing was done either
by him or the consul at Samsoon for two
weeks. They brought me out occasionally
to'ask if I still persisted in remaining an
American citizen, and when I said I did
they took me back to jail indignantly.
Out. at Last.
“At the end of two weeks I was sent as
a prisoner to Constantinople in a Turkish
steamer and upon arrival put into prison.
The next day Minister Terrell was in-
formed, and I was released and sent to
him. He heard of all I had suffered. It
was seine days after my arrival that a let.
ter came from Consul J ewett, and both he
and the consul at Samsoon have confirmed
the outrages and injury inflicted upon me
by order of the vall.
“I had my wife and child come to Sam-
soon, and as no man was allowed to come
with her 1 had to take a steamer for Sam-
seen again. I was dumfounded to find
that she had no money whatever, all my
money that I had in my vest pocket, in
gold £40 sterling, and 33% Turkish
pounds, about $350 in all, and my watch
having been stolen by the Turkish sol-
diers who remained behind and ransacked
my house on the night they arrested me.
“We sold some of my wife’s gold coin
ornaments, and with much sufl’ering reach-
ed Constantinople. I sent an appeal by
registered letter from Constantinople Dec.
12 last, to the president of the United
States, begging him that telegraphic in.
struction be sent to Minister Terrell to
secure justice for me. No answer came.
There had not been even a Word against
me from any Turkish official, and even the
chief of police at Constantinople expressed
astonishment that I should have been ar-
rested and put in chains, when my record
was so clear. My crime Was that I had
become an American citizen. But neither
our minister nor the consul general could
do anything. They took my affidavits and
said they would be sent to our govern:
ment, and that, if I managed to reach the
United States, the matter would be settled
from there. ,
”With much suffering we managed to
borrow money and reached Marseilles, and
there we lived in privations till, by work-
ing at my trade all I could and striving to
raise money for the passage, thank God, I
have been able to bring my wife and child
back to this great country. ” '
