TWOGEAAAAS CLASH
Ames’ ,I’aper on the Battle‘of Fort
Fisher Caused the Trouble.
CURTIS DRIED OUT “CRAVEN"
A Sensation at the Dinner of the Loyal
Legion In New York—Curtis Declared
That the Statements Made by
' Ames Were Erroneous.
' NEW YORK, Feb. 5.——-Not one of the 600
persons who assembled at Dclmonico’s last
night to attend the annual banquet of the
Loyal Legion of Honor imagined that be-
fore the dinner was over two prominent
members of the legion were to be the prin-
cipals in a hot altercation; that one was
to call the other a. “cravcn heart” and de-
th that
is just what happened. Not one of those
600 would say a word “for publication,”
but the facts have leaked out neverthc ess.
The principals in the altercation were
General Newton M. Curtis of Ogdensburg,
N. Y., a. member of congress for the St.
Lawrence counties, and General A. A.
Ames of Massachusetts, who was the guest
of honor at the banquet. General Curtis
used the epithets. His ire was aroused by
several direct and uncomplimentary allu-
sions General Ames made to him in a. pa-
per he read on “ The Battle of Fort Fisher. ’ ’
Both General Ames and General Curtis
took part if: that memorable fight.
General Ames commanded a large part
of the Federal forces and stood next in
point of rank to General Terry, who di-
rected the battle. General Curtis com-
manded a division of soldiers and marines
and was wounded in the eye while leading
a gallant assault on the Confederate in-
GENERAL AMES.
trenchmcnts. He fell within the Confed-
erate lines and has ever since been called
the hero of Fort Fisher.
The Loyal legion is an organization of
officers who served in the Federal army
during the war of the rebellion. General
Horace Porter is the president. Four
times a. year the legion gives a dinner,
which prominent veterans attend as invit-
ed guests, and over the cigars they discuss
the various battles in which they took
part.
Ames Admitted His Heroism.
In his paper on the battle of Fort Fisher‘,
General Ames made himself out the hero
of the fight, according to his detractors who
were present. They say that they never
heard. a more self eulogistic efiort in their
lives. He was not content with merely
praising himself, they-aver. He sought,
it is said by several veterans who were
there, to belittle the part taken in the ac-
tion by General Curtis. His allusions to.
General Curtis were direct. He mentioned
his name, and‘every time he did so the
guests applauded. '
Toward the end of the reading of the
paper the noise became so great that Gen-
eral Ames could scarcely proceed. The
audience seemed to be growing very impa-
tiept.
When General Ames sat down, there
was a. moment of silence. Then there was
some applause. One man present said to
his neighbor, “General Ames has been
throwing plenty of bouquets at himself. ”
Another said in a. stage whisper, “It is evi-
dent that General Ames put down the re-
bellion. ” There was a. loud laugh at this,
and then a guest jumped to his feet and
shouted: “General Curtis! General Car-
tis!” The cry was caught up and repeated
by the guests all along the line of tables.
General Curtis did not rise from his seat
at first. but as the crowd became more and.
more ciamorous he stood by his chair and
bowed. Then he sat down. This pro-
voked another uproar.
“Ansvver him, general, answer him!”
came from all sides. General Curtis got
up again and began his answer. He did
not look in General Ames’ direction, but
addressed General Porter, who was presid-
ing. He began by, saying that General
Ames had made many misstatements in‘
his paper. “He has told what suited his
purposes and left out what he did not like.
He has made statements that are not true. ”
Curtis Strikes Back.
General Curtis’ wrath kindled as he pro-
needed. His cheeks glowed and his eyes
flashed. Still facing General Porter, he
pointed his hand in General Amcs’ direc-
tion and shouted, “This craven heart”—
Instantly there was a wild uproar.
Guests in the vicinity of the two men
sprang to their feet and crowded around
them. Every one had semething to say,
and they all tried to talk at the 'same time.
General Porter rapped loudly on his table
for order. It was five minutes before the
tumult subsided sufficiently to permit of
his being heard. He called General Curtis
sharply to order.
General Wager Swayne jumped to his
feet and tried to quieu‘the tumult. When
he got the floor, he said that the discus-
sion was out of order, and for a moment
there was quiet. Then General Curtis got
up again and apologized for his impetuos-
ity. He did not mention General Ames’
name in his apology. Every one present
noticed the omission and commented up-
on it. ' ‘
When order was restored, General Curtis
asked for permission to read a. pap'ér on
the battle of Fort Fisher at the next meet-
ing of the legion. The permission was
granted unanimously.
This little episode was the principal
topic of discussion among the Loyal legion
members who are opposed to Ames today.
They all agreed that General Am‘es’ un-
complimentary allusions to General Curtis
They said that
the comment at the dinner, that “it is
evident that General Ames put down the
rebellion,” correctly summed up the im-
pression created by General Ames’ paper.
General Curtis, they” assermd, behaved
very modestly and did notnttempt to re-
ply to the attack until he had been unani-
mously urged to do so. .

to Australia This Week.
, SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.——-Preparations
'for the extradition of Butler are being
hurried, and should the alleged murderer
be extradited this week, he will leave on
the steamer Monowai for Sydney. '
The detectives have visited the steamer

a large room, comfortable enough to ac-
commodate Butler and should he be ex—
; traditcd the quarters, walled by heavy six
inch planks, will be put up in less than six
hours. Butler will be provided with a.
comfortable bed, and will live on the best

Says She Is Mrs. Butler.
VALLEJO, Cal, Feb. 4.-—-There is a pret-
ty little woman living in this city who
works as a. domestic servant, the mother
of a. 3-year-old boy in the care of the Good
Templars’ Orphans’ home. She says that
the Australian murderer Butler is her
husband. She will go to San Francisco to
take a look at him. She married Harry
Butler in May, 1893, and four months aft-
er he left her. ‘She has not seen him since,
but in the meantime has learned enough
of his record to make her think him cap. -
ble of any crime. That he had some tron
ble before their marriage she is positive.
He told her he had been all over the world
before he met: her.
Against Ticket Scalping.
WAsnINoTON, Feb. 4.-—Representa.tlve
Sherman (Pep, N. Y.), author of the anti-
scalping bill, has received the following
letter from Charles R. Skinner, president
of the National Educational assOciation:
“I would be glad to have you favor a
bill, now before congress, recommended by
the interstate commerce commission, to
protect the. public as well as the railroads
in s ‘ - ticket scalping; In behalf
of the National Educational associatit' ,
the largest educational body in the worl...
of. which I have the honor to be president,
I urge you to assist Mr. B. D. Caldwell,
chaiflnan of the Western Passenger associ-
ation, in his efforts to promote this meas-
ure
tiona‘i association hesibeen able to obtain
from the various trunk line associations
favorable‘retes to its annual meetings,
which'are attended by many thousands of
the More g this country. Our princi-
pal Maui! as been to prevent ticket
sniping. and in spite of all on} cfiorts,,in
connection with the officers of the passen-
ger associations, we have had. much trou~
his in this direction. If this trouble could
be removed, the passenger associations
would never hesitate to give the teachers
of the nation as favorable excursion rates
as are given to any other organization. If
you can find it consistent togive your sup-
port to this measure, I believe you will be
doing a valuable service to the teachers of
the nation and will prevent a cause of
much injustice and irregularity. ”

Satisfaction Over American
Arbitrators Selected.
LONDON, Feb. 4.——Commenting’editcri-
ally upon the amendments proposed by the
foreign affairs committee of the United
States senate, The Daily News says: “The
amendments to the Anglo-American treaty
reported to the United States senate were
clearly made with the view of amending
curious if the Venezuelan arbitration pro-
ceedings were adopted and the Anglo-
American treaty rejected. In that case the
American zeal for arbitration would ap-
pear decidedly altruistic. The Americans
would love it as something good for others,
but not good for themselves. ”
The Daily Chronicle, in anIeditorial,
claims that the amendments to the Anglo-
American arbitration treaty are even worse
than expected. It adds: “The amend-
ments would make the treaty a. mere husk.
If the United States senate succeeds in
thus wrecking the Anglo-American treaty,
the relations of all nations will be worse
than if the word arbitration had never bpen
mentioned. England can, however, do
nothing further. There is only one thing
additional that we should like to see in
this particular, and that is a. manifesto in
favor of the treaty signed by every minis-
ter of religion in both countries. If some
of our American contemporaries would
undertake to get the signatures of the
American clergy, The Chronicle would an«
swer for the signatures of the British cler-
gy. Then the United States senate would
be able to see the‘ position it really occu-
pies. ”
The Standard in an editorial says, “The
treatment of the Anglo-American arbi-
tration treaty by the United States senate
is a. significant evidence of the dangerous
vitality of j ingoism among the leading
American politicians. ”
The Journal dcs Debats and Temps both
comment upon the “destructive eflect” oi
the amendments.
Approves of Arbitrators.
The Times in an editorial today ex-
presses its fullest; approval of the Venezu-
elan arbitrators selected on both sides of
the Atlantic. “It would have been impos-
sible to select arbitrators more acceptable
to the people of Great Britain, ” says The
Times, in conclusion, “than the members
of the United States supreme court, whose
fame stands very high here as Americans. ”
The Standard in an editorial approves
of the Venezuelan arbitrators and says:
“The exclusion of the Hon. Frederic Cou-
dert may be accepted as evidence of good
faith on the part of the United States. We ,
apprehend there is no longer any won
for a delay in the resumption of direct
diplomatic relations with Venezuela.”
Mr. Thomas G. Bowlos, Conservative
member of Lynn Regis, moved in the house
of commons today that a. copy of the arbi-
traton treaty arrived at betwaen Great
Britain and the United States be laid on
the table, meaning, in British parliamen-
tary lanugage, that the full text of the
document be placed before the house. The
motion was adopted.

Action of Mill Owners intended to Cause
.Priobs to Advance. ,.
PROVIDENCE, Fab. '4 ——Aside from the
Knights and their associates, no other mill
owners hereabout have yet decided to run
their mills on short time. At the omce of
the Lonsdale company it is learned that
that Company has not signed the Fall
River agreement. The Wauregan Lock-
wood Manufacturing company and Quinc-
baug company, which control 230,000
spindles, state that no action has been
taken relative to curtailing the outp .
The Coventry company will continue
run its mill at Anthony, stopping the print
mill of the Bernon company at Georgia-
ville. The Harris Manufacturing com-
pany’s mills at Harris and Arkwright will
continue to run, as will also the Lapham
mill at Centerville, while the Crompton
company will run its fustian mill at
Crompton.
Should the market respond .t’o the action
of the mills by an advance in the price of
prints it might induce those who now leg
to accelerate an advance by makin the
curtailment general. 0n the other and,
it; might convince them that the hoped for
improvement had set in. The only hitch
likely to occur to interfere with the short
time movement was straightened out when
the directors of the Seacon’net mill of Fall
River, whose representative had not signed
the agreement, held a meeting and voted
to follow the lead of the majority.
