Boston, Nov. 26. Three pri

They are as follows :

We mistrust that this virulent

WHY THE MASSACRE WAS OJJDKRED
"Constantinople, Ojt. ;ji
We have word from Bit lies that i tie
destruction of life in aassoun,
Sooth of Mooh, was even greater
than was supposed. Thebriet note
which reached us says : 'Twenty
seven villages annihilated in Sim
soun. Six thoasand men. women
and children massacred by uoops
and Hoards.'
"This awtal story ih ouly jusc be
ginning to be known bere, though
tbe massacre cook place early in
September. The tutks have nsed
infinite pains o prevent news leak
ing out, even going to the leugtb of
sending back from Trebizond maoy
hundreds from the Moosh region
who had came on this way on bus
iness. The massacre was ordered
from herein thu sense tbat some
Kourds baviug roboed Armenian
villages ol Hjcks, the Armenians
pursued nud tried to recover their
property, and a fight eusueii. iu
which a dozen Kourd wer Rilled.
The slam men were eaii-oiHuinl
robbers, i. e., enrollea as tioops
aud armed as eucb, but not under
control. The authorities there tel
egraphed bere that Armenians bad
killed some of tbe Sultan's troops.
The Sultan at once ordered infan
try and cavalrj to put down the
Armenian rubel'ion, and they did
it, only, not finding any rebellion
they cleared the country so th ic
none should ocsur in future.''

Fears Entertained Tbat One Foot. .all
Player is Internally Injured.
Washington, Nov. 29. To-day
ws a perfect football day aud
about 4,000 people witnessed tbe
annual game for tbe championship
of tbe District of Columbia, played
between the Georgetown College
eleven and the Columbia Athletic
Club team. Tbe Columbia boys
will keep tbe handsome silver
trophy for another year, winning
by scoring 20 and shutting the
college boys out.
The game w&u very rough and
four men were carried from tbe
field. Harder, the elever little
Columbia quarterback, broke bit,
collar-bone in the first 15 mmatea
play. It ia feared tha: "Shorty"
Baher is internally injured.
Shields and Callahan distinguish
ed themselves, tbe former for bis
btUliant all-round playing, and tbe
latter for his nnueoessary rough
ness and slugging, receiving a
black eye from Dickenson. At no
time was Columbia's goal in much
'danger, and wben time was called
in the first half, tbe ball was on
Georgetown's one-yard line. Tbe
Georgetown boys were plainly out
of condition, as shown by their
numerous aeoidents and tbe fact
all scores were made in the second
half, the Columbia boys standing
the rough play much better than
their opponents. The teams weigh
ed jaat about the same.
NO MORE FORCE BILLS.
rhere Will Hard y be a Republican in
tbe Jext Gonsress. Who Will Favor
It.
BALTIiTOEK, Md., NOV. 28.
The Manufacturer's Record will
print tbis week replies from several
lead ng Republicans who were
asked if tbe recent victory of their
pa. tv would result in any attempt
to revive the force bill, or any otber
measure that could, wiiu or with
out reason, be regarded as inimical
to the Soatb. The verdict of the
writers is that there will be no
further attempt at interference
witb elections anywhere by the Na
tional government.
Congressman J,. H. Walker, of
Massachusetts, the senior Repub
lican Representative on tbe com
mittee on banking and currency,
sayp: "I claim tbeie is no Republi
can in Congress who koo rs any
more thoroughly than I do the sen
timent of the Repubhcau party in
this country n-on this question.
There will nor. be three men in the
54ch Congrei-s (And I do not be
lieve there ill be one), who will
any sooner propose to enact any
kind of a national election law than
tbey would propose to pot the na
tional troops at tba pcints in tbu
Southern States from wbicb they
were removed by President Hayes
in 1877.
The feeling at the North is pre
cisely the same as tbat revealed by
the leading newspapers at tbe
South on tbe question of elections,
viz: that cheating at tbe polls by
any arty must e:id now ud for
ever, but Hccomplisbed bv tbe
local attorneys. Furthermore, the
determination among Northern Re
publicans l as strong as araoutr tbei
honest Democrats of tbe Soatb iu
favor of absolute home rule in all
matter whatsoever xeoepting these
plainly designated in the constitu
tions requiring uational legislation.
No faither attempt will be made
by Coogiess in this generation, or
the next, tore-enact any national
election I iw whatever."

REV. JOS. II. WHEEI.ER BEAD.
He
Wm the Oldest .WiniMter of the
Vorlh Carolinn Conference.
The Rev. Joseph II. Wheeler, for more
than sixty years a Methodist preacher,
"fell asleep and was gathered to his lath
ers" Wednesday evening, at the residence
in Charleston, S. C, ot his son-iu-law,
Major Hall T. McGee; aged 84.
From the Wilmington pipers we take
tbe most of tbe following facts about his
life:
He was born in 1810, in Newark, New
Jersey; came to Charleston when 14 years
of age. where be lived fcr several years,
and then moved to Camden. Wben 23
years of age, while living in Camden, be
ielt called to the work of tbe ministry,
and gave up business pursuit", in which
be had been successfully engaged, to enter
upon tbe higher vocation. Re joined tbe
South Carolina Conference of tbe Metho
dist Episcopal Church in 1834, at Char
leston, and remained in the itinerant rank
as a member of that Conference until
1861, when a portion of its territory was
transferred to tbe North Carolina Con
ference. Mr. Wheeler at tbe time was
stationed at Fayetteville and thus became
a member of the North Carolina Confer
ence. He was prominent in each Con
ference, holding for many years tbe very
responsible position ot secretaiy of the
South Carolina Conference and doing effi
cient work in some of tbe best appoint
ments. He was preacher in charge in
Columbia, Spartanburg, Raleigh, Wil
mington, Wadesboro, Fayetteville, New
Berne aud otber important point', lie
was stationed in New Berne a few years
before tbe war and a successful revival oc
curred here under his ministry.
He was superannuated last year nnd
then made Charleston his home to spend
his last days with his daughter
Iev. Mr. Wheeler was during his long
life Doted for simplicity nd purity of
character. His standard uf duty wus a
high one, his convictions were strong and
nothing could induce him to do violence
to these convictions. All his acquain
tances and friends will remember him as
one who magnified his high calling and
in thought aud life kept liiniselt un
spotted from the world.

lie acquired an education by his own
efforts and was a determined self reliant

Ever since 1809 he demoted his li'e lo

difficulties, the probable lorced sale of the

his mind.

I'nrrou -loi knal: So many in-,
ijuiries have been made lately in reference j
to immigration to the South that I have I
hardly tini -to reply to each as I should ,
wish and i hi retbre beg of you tlx.- privilege I
of ails w. rn.g through your Jot'RNAL. j
It is tin -. the -south ha not only been j
inactive, but it has been overlooked and
placed in a liiUe light by the agents of i
trunk line railroads and the newspaper'
press of the North. Its tine farm lands,
be-.-ly olli re I at low prices have found no
buyers: it- wotideri'iil wealth in coal and
iron and timber yet remains undeveloped.
There is no doubt that its lands aru the
most fertile and tire products of its oiI
the most varied of any lands in the worid,
and its people hospitable, honorable and
kind. lis winters are short and mild;
its summers long and pleasant and its
seasons good and certain. In no section
ot the globe are the lards of the same
grade s i low in price and products of the
ground so cheaply raised, yet with all
those advantages it has thin far reaped !
but little harvest of immigration and
never in the history of this country has
the S uih been the objective point of
Kuropeai) immigration.
I think ns do othe s that now is the pro
pitious moment lo act ana secure a prop
er share of lhe same sturdy, industrious
element that has turned the barren and
unfruittul prairies of the We-t into grain
eries that supply so much of food lor the
world, and bunt-lit so many magnificent
towns and villages along the various rail
roads that unite the two great oceans.
The question arises; How shall this
ti le of immigration flowing so strongly to
the West ana .Northwest be turned to the
South or to your section in North Caro- I
lintii' 1 answer, by similar means which
has been so effec ie- in (be West. It
requires money, labor and method.

store, fl-h. etc., must b- printed and dis
tributed by reliable agents in whom tbe
immigrants have confidence. These must
be printed in the language of the several
countries from which we invite settlers.
There is now a company organiz -d for
just such purposes with headquarters at
Norfolk. Va . and general agency in New
Yo:k fio'ii where such work is directed.
The company propose to bring men ab'e
to buy and pay for the lands they till, and
propos- to settle here, men who will pro
duce a surplus, not those who will con
sunie the surplus made by others. Ii is
an enterprise in which every profession
and every citizen in your State and in the
South shou'd lie i'lten sted. for such and
all will b-' benefitted by it.
The introduction of these people will
inhance lhe price of your lamb anil bring
them into market. It will increase your
surplus produets n-d (rente good com

It will enable y ni to pat am I keep your
reads in b tier condition nnd build up
town. cities, churches and school bouses
and at the same time de-crease your
taxes.
These people come imbued with the
idea of tree government and they will
never incumber themselves and you with
a bunded debt. Neither will they un
settle your present system of lubor. They
come to buy and work their own lauds
not to hire nut. Their presence and ex
ample will better your present system but
not antagonize it. If these people are of
value to a community, and this is con
ceeded, then it is worth while to make
the effort to get them.

THE W.4K KC.4RE.
I The Vrloim Situation Between the
I ni ted Ktates and reat Brltian ns
Outlined by the Washington PohI.
The situation is declared by a gentle
man thorougly acquaint d with the part
played recently by this government and
Great Britain to Nicaragua lo be serious
! hi the extreme. It is probably due to this
seriousness that the Mat; Department
officials deilire to say anything on the
subject. The seriousness of the situation
lies in this. The I'nited States govern
ment has recognized the Nicanguan rule
in the Mosquito territory. It is therefore
this government's duty to see that that
ru'e is not molested by any European
power.
Great Brilain having notified Nica
ragua that she does not recognize the
government in that territory, it will un
doubtly devolve upon the British min ster
, in that country to demand thru any British
! subjects which may have been or may be
arrested for violation of Nh-araguan laws,
be released, and that an explanation be
made by the Nrcaraguan government for
the arrest.
Shoulu the Nicaraguan government de
cline to release such prisoners, the armed
force of Great Britain may then be
brought into play to compel obedience to
tbe British minister's demands. This wil
b l:be time lor the United S'ates govern
ment to call on Great Britain to halt.
The reason lor the call will b -given.
and it will then be Great Br t on's move
on uie international chess board. A man
with no experience in diplomatic affairs
can rendily see the seriousness of such a
situation. Therefore, it is not surprising
that the State Department officials regard
the news from Managua as decidedly
grave.
On the other hand, seriom complica
tion; might arise from two sauives.
First, the dispute over the attempt ol
the Nicaraguan government to collect tax
es on land owned by British subjects;
second, the recognition by Great Britain
of Clarence, the deposed chief of that ter
ritory. The LTnited States government will see
to it that the Nicaraguans are unmolested
by Great Britain in thier collection ol
taxes. This government will also remon
strate against an effort by Great Britian or
any other European power lo restore ex
Chief Clarence to power. United States
goverment is bound to uphold the Nica
raguan goverment in the Mosquito terri
tory. It could not in honor oo other
wise if it would, and it would not if it
could.
ALL DEPENDS UPON liRII ISIt INSTRUC
TIONS It is n it bslieved that the commander
of the British warship said to have been
ordered to Bluefields has any instructions
other than to protect British inter
ests. If this is so, there is little reason to
fear any armed conflict between I his
country and Great Britian immcdi t ly.
Should the contrary be uu
howevei ,and tbe British commander liave
leen given orders to forciby prevent the
Nicaraguan government fro-o compelling
obedience to its law, there is no donbt
that so soon as tbe telegraph could bring
news of any forcible act n Great Brit
ain's part to Wasliing;":i .and carry or
deis back from this government to the
commander of the I'nited States naval
f rees in those wati rs, the British would
tind themselves confronted witb the op
position of a force of blue jackets under
the Stars and Stripes.
MANEUVERING FOR THE CANAL.
The real object of Great Britain's re
fusal to recognize the Nicaraguaii rule is
not for one moment to be considered due
to a wish to rectily any wrong w hich may
have been done the Mosquito I idians.
Neither can it be con"(de i that her ac
tion is due to any nice regard for the
obligations imposed on her by the Mana
gua treaty. Great Britain is not disposed
to depart from old anil cherished customs,
and international history shows her re
gard for treaty obligations with puny
nations to be anything but nice.
Therefore there must be some other
reasons fjr her action, else she would not
have delayed so long after the overthrow
of Chief Clarence in notifying Nicaragua
that her rule in the Mosquito territory
would not be recognized. That other
reason is believed to lie in the Nicaragua
Canal.
It is well known in the diplomatic
world that ever since tbe birth of that
project Great Britain has been maneuver
ing to get control of it. It is true that
there is a treaty which supposedly pre.
vents Great Britain securing such control,
but treaties have been broken before by
tbat country when a land-grabbing end
has leen in view. It ts strongly believed
by some officials of the State Department
that Great Britain has made several sub
tle moves with a view to g i ling a foot
hold in the territory ne ir the canal. Thus
far she has failed, however, and there is
no reason to doubt that, if this refusal to
recognize Nicaragua mle be another move
in the same direction she will fail again.
THE NICARAGUA t A IN' A I..
A Treaty Between Great Britian and
(be I'nited States Aerording to
Which Xeither Has Exclusive
Riehts In the Matter.
In view ol the massing of war-boats at
Nicaragua and in spite of the agitation in
favorfofthe Landed States building toe
Nicarguan canal it may be interesting to
recall that there is a treaty between the
United States and Great Brttain which
expressly stipulates that
The governments of the United States
and Great Brilain hereby declare that
neither the one Jnor the other will ever
obtain for itself any exclusive control
over the said ship canal; agreeing that
neither will ever erect or maiabdu any
fortifications commanding the same or iu
the vicinity thereof, or occupy, or fortify
or colouize, or assume; or exercise any
dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the
Mosquito Coast, or any part of Central
America; nor will either make use of any
protection, which either affords or may
afford, or any alliance which either his or
may have to or with any State or people,
lor the purpose pf erecting or maintaining
any such fortifications, or of occupying,

C sta liica. the Mosquito Coast, or any
part of Central America, or of assumiug
or exercising dominion over the same; nor
will the United States or Grtat Britain

The Common Bear (iriw of this Region
and Its Adaptability for Textile
Purposes.
There is many a product of this region
that lias heretofore received but little at
tention, which is capable of being devel
oped into importance. Our attention has
been called to one of these little api re
ciated natural products, by Mrs. Win.
Beard, who is here in t he interest of th
International Colonization Company.'!
TI13 product relerred to is t'ae plant
yucca, commonly designated as '-bear
grass with which ail are familiar and
which, though not generally known, is a
valuable material lor manufacturing
rope.
Driving out on Hon. II. II. JJ-yan's
plantation. Mr-. Beard gathered a few
perfectly natural leaves i-t the lar grass
and removed the solt portion, leaving the
mass of tough fibres w hich g've the leaves
their strength. Those who have never
tested the strength of these in uvidud
fibres when fully matured will Iw sur
prised at the resistance thev offer when u
attempt is made t break one. Though
only about the size of a single thread of
ordinary spool cotton they were lound to
be about as strong, and the bunch of them
in a single leaf of the best quality would
no donbt have more than supported a
man's weight.
Mrs. Beard tells us that in Cuba and
YIe.vi o the manufacture of rope from this
grass is a regular business, that it makes a
better tope than sisal, and tbat its manu
facture could be advantageously engaged
iu here. She is Fatistied that with a fac
tory to work up the yield, a good large
farm in the grass would make a fine in
come for the owner.
How Thanksirlviiig Day was Observed.
Thank-giving Day was well observed
in New Berne. The closing of the busi
nc-ss places was general, veiy lew o! any
kind being open in tbe allernooii and
many did not open at all.
S-rvices were held in the churches as
announce 1 and good collections taken foi
lhe Oxford Orphan Asylum and lhe
various denominational institutions of
like character.
The livtry stables, owing to the cessa
tion of business being so general, had
large demands made upon them for teams,
very many went out driving.
Two hundred or more vis' tors ere
to the Riverside Kennels and Poultry
Farm of F. Ilege & Co. during th
day and numbers of them wa r courteous
ly shown around by Mr. Ilege in peison.
All were delighted and Ibose who Ii id
not been out before were not only de
lighted but surprised at tbe s;ze, variety
and quality of 'be stock and tbe admirable
nnangements of the yards and houses. It
's a mo lei place and one vis:tor from a
Northern State remarked that it was a bet
ter sh w than a fair which he recently
paid half a dollar to see.
Some as usual, went hunting. Several
deer were secured and a portion of the
sportsmen brought in a number of birds.
Mr. J. C. Watkins bagged an uncommon
ly fine wild turkey, the only one we heard
of being secured.
A Proposed Cotton Factory-
Mrs. Win, Beard has been working
during tlu last few days, not only in the
interest of the International Colonizition
Company but to secure the establishment
of a cotton factory here. She informs us
that subscribers enough have been se
cured to make it a certainty.
The intention is to place it on Judge
II. It. Bryan's land opposite lhe city. A
portion oftlie subscribeis re residnts a
poitioa non-residents.
There are few tilings that will give ns
more pleasure than to see a cotton factory
in successful operation at New Berne and
we think the majority of our citizens are
with us on the matter. We are glad to
see a definite movement in this d'rection.
Proposed Changes In Counties.
The Progress! ve Age says that the pro
posed new county of Richland tube for
med out of the Aurora section of Beaufort
county will be 25 to 30 miles long and
about the same in width, that it will
contain about 1,000 voters and 5,000 in
habitants. We i!so see a notice in the Age that
application will be made to the next Leg

they have steadily increased their already
large clientage until to-day they rank
