Feb. 1.—Tl1e action of the senate committee on foreign relations in voting to report favorably 011 the Anglo- American arbitration treaty has renewed in an unexpected manner the interest in and against that document, and it may be positively asserted that when it comes 11p for consideration in executive session thcie , will be a bitter, 111 311 acttd and decidedly interesting debate upon the question of its ' adoption. The six membe1 s of the committee who voted in favor of the treaty were Senators Sherman, I‘ryc, Davis, Cullom, Lodge and Gray, and those who voted against it were Senators Morgan, Daniel, Cameron and Mills. This vote, strangely enough, was on financial rather than on political lines Only one Democmtic senator voted for ratification and only one Republican sen- ator against it. All the votes for the treaty were cast by men who had opposed silver in the senate and in the last cam-~ paign, while those in opposition, with the possible exception of that of Senator Mills, were cast by free silver men. It is under- stood thut the silver men held that the ratification of the treaty would have a ten- dency to render this country subservient to Great Britain. An amendment EUGUAI’ .5 '.:.-DLLES. Revolutionists Again Ao We and Renewal of the War Imminent. MONTEVIDEO, Jan. 30. —— Advices re- ceived here indicate that the insurrection in this republic has not yet been suppress- ed. President J. Idiarte Borda has re: ceived news to the effect that the South American Indians are holding meetings daily. These meetings are believ d to bc hostile to the government of ruguay. The white settlers on the Argentina and Brazilian frontiers are said to be in dun- ger from the insurrectionists, and a. gen- eral uprising is expected. It is feared that a- state of siege will soon be declared, and a. rigorous censorship of telegrams is look— ed for. The insurrection in Uruguay com- menced to attract general attention and cause alarm during November, 1896. At that time the federal troops met with dis- ' aster at the hands of the insurgents who crossed the Brazilian border in Uruguay. Genera-1 Muniz, the Uruguan command- er, met General Gumercindo Saraiva in a hotly contested engagement and was de- feated, the son of General Muniz being captured and put to death. General Sarai- va, who .is at the head ol‘ the revolution- ary party, was formerly one of the leaders in the revolution in the province of Rio Grande do 8111, Brazil. Ile commanded the land forces at the engagement at Rio Grande City, and, assisted by the rebel Ad- miral Mello, leit that town almost in ruins. LATIMBR JONES ARRAIGNED. Be Declares He Has Restored Much of the 111 Gotten Money. 3 LONDON, Jan. 30.——Latimer Ridley Jones of New York, the horse breeder and spec- ;ulator who was arrested in extradition l declaring in explicit' terms that the Alaskan boundary question , should not be included in the agreement for arbitration was voted down as being unnecessary. The chairman was instruct- ed to ask the senate to give the treat-y con- sideration at as car 1y" .1 day as p1 ucticablc, ,but what the outcome 11 ill be is now more problematical than cv or. The Alaskan Treaty. The Alaskan treaty just signed between the United States and Great Britain docs not apply to the boundary in the southern part of Alaska, but only to that of the one hundred and forty-first meridian, readily fixed by astronomical Observation in the northerly part Of Alaska. It is this south- erly branch of the controversy which pre- sents serious difficulties, involving ques- tions of territory between the United States and Great Britain. The main point in- volved is whether“ the boundary is to be measured from the mainland or from the outer fringe of islands along the coast. It is a repetition of the Old contest over a closed sea, or mare clausum, which brought on the dispute referred to the fish- eries commission. The rights of the United States are those ceded from Russia when the territory was purchased. just signed will run the line along the one hundred and forty-first meridian. But the cession from Alaska states that the south- erly boundary shall be along a crest oi mountains supposed to exist near the coast, and if these are not located then the boun- dary is to be ten marine leagues (30 miles) from the coast until the line reaches the one hundred and forty-first meridian. About two years ago the United States and Great Britain made a. joint effort to locate the supposed mountain range. Gen- eral W. W. Duifield was named by the United States as a. commissioner and F. W. King was appointed on the part 01 Great Britain. They organized joint sur- veying parties. Their report agreed and is now in the hands of the secretary of state. Both commissioners state that there is no range of mountains along which to run the line. In this case the only means of dsfliblishing the line is by fixing it ten ma- rine leagues from the coast. The Vital Question. The report of the two commissioners does not say where this would locate the line, but merely submits a survey of the entire country, leaving the political ques- tion yet to be settled as-to whether the ten marine leagues is to be from the outer fringe of islands or from the mainland. This question involves a vast stretch of land valuable in minerals, including gold, and for its fishing. So far as the line can be definitely fixed, it begins at the southernmost point of Prince of Wales island, thence across to the Portland canal ten . leagues inland, then, in 11. sinuous direction, along the “coast” up in Mount St. Elias, where the definite one l1 undred and forty-first merid- ian is struck. But the difficulty is to de- termine where this sinuous “coast” is from which the 30 mile strip is measured. It is understood that the British conten- tion is that the measurement shoilild be from the outer fringe Of islands. In this they have theprccedent t0 the fisheries dis- pute, in which the American claim was based on a measurement from point to point of outer limit of islands and was a. distinct deninl of the theory of u. ‘5clos0d sea.” If this is applied to the present Alaska boundary, it will limit the Amer- ican territory largely to the islands, while a measurement from the mainland wi‘l give the United States a. strip 30 mils wide along the entire coast as far south‘ns the Portland canal. Aside from the value of the land involved it has an importance as a coast line and for strategic purposes. Until a treaty covering this part is mate it is felt that the more difficult questions are still unsettled. A \Vest Point; Commotion. Communications from church bodies in various paits of the country are being re- ceived by the members of the house com- mittee on military affairs regarding the action of‘thc secretary of war in granting permission for the erection of a Catholic cathedral building on the government grounds at West Point. The matter seems to hav e brewed a. com- motion nearly equal to that which has ,waged over school appropriations, if the letters coming in are a sign. Several com- | munications from bishops, ministers and organizations as well as from laymen have been received. Three other religious bodies have applied for information as to whether they will also be allowed to place (l_1111 ch buildings on the West Point g1 ounds It is possible that the matter may be brought before congress by a. lesoluution of inquiry or some other method. Rough Experience of the Liberty. Bos'rox, Feb. 1—Thc pilotboat Liber- ty No. 3, which disappeared in Thursday’ 5 blizzard, has returned. She was driven 50 She lost her patent log and her fog horn, which were carried away by heavy seas, and her cabin was flooded through the breaking of her skylight by the waves which swept the deck. ._ g g This boundary is easily estab- .

The United States embassy was represented by Mr. Hodson. Inspector Jarvis of Scotland Yard proved the arrest of the prisoner, and Mr. Arthur Gill, for the defense, made an application for bail. In so doing counsel said that since the al- leged Offense Jones had been to the United States, and that for three years past he had been in communication with Mr. Benja- min L. Ludington, the Broadway lawyer, who is said to have advanced Jones from $100,000 to $300,000 on notes bearing forged indorsements. Jones, it appears, became quite promi- nent in 1886 and 1887 as an active organi- zer Of the Orange County Stock Farm com- pany. the BellElectric Light company and the United States Dredging company. The warrant upon which J ones was ur- rested only charges him with forgery to the amount of £22,000, and counsel assert- ed that his client had already paid Mr. Lud- ington more than one-half of this sum. Mr. Lushington, however, refused bail, and the prisoner was remanded until Feb. 6. DEATH OF GBRTRUDE PALMER. She Is the Third vi‘é‘tm‘: or the l‘vIurderons Frenzy of Arthur Palmer. MAMARONECK, N. Y., Jan. flu—Ger- trude Palmer, the third victim of the mur- derous frenzy Of Arthur Palmer, her broth- ‘er, died early today. Her death was due to peritonitis. Arthur Palmer, who is now in jail at St. Louis awaiting extradition to this state on a charge of murder, shot and killed his ~mother and his brother Leonard Palmer and wounded his sister Gertrude on the evening of Jan. 18 at their home near Mamaroneck. The Palmer household consisted of the mother, the two broth- ers and the sister. Arthur had a milk route in Larchmont. He was married, and his wife for a. time lived with his family, but was in Toronto when the tragedy oc‘ curred. The young man was always deemed peculiar by those who knew him. Mrs. Palmer and her’ daughter were sit- ting in the kitchen lit 6 o’clock on the evening of Jan. 18 when Arthur entered, and after inquiring if Leonard was at home whisked out a. revolver and fired several shots at his mother and sister. The mother was killed almost instantly and the sister badly wounded. The man then ran out, and meeting his brother Leonard entering the house killed him. He then fled. He was caught in St. Louis on Wednesday night. It is believed that he is insane. KLEIN AT LIBERTY. Justice Hurd Decides to Release Alleged Brooklyn Firebug. BROOKLYN, Jan. 30.—Jacob Klein, whose third trial for arson resulted in 11 disagreement of the jury. was released from the Raymond Street jail today on his own recognizance. His lawyer, Robert H. Elder, appeared before Justice Hurd in the county court this morning and moved for Klein’s dice charge. Mr. Elder said to the court: “There is no necessity of my rendering any statement about the facts of this case. Your honor knows them perfectly well.” Justice Hurd nodded his assent, and, turning to District Attorney Backus, ask- ed what he had to say about the matter. “I have nothing to say, ” replied Backus. “You will take an order,” the justice said to Mr. Elder, “releasing Klein on his own ball, at, say, $100.” Elder went out to prepare the papers. Mr. Elder was asked what would be done in the case of Zacharias Snyder of 152 Ridge street, New York, who has been in- dicted for perjury in having, it js alleged, sworn falsely on the trial of Klein. uHe said be supposed the indictment would have to take its usual course. “It looks like persecution to me,” said Mr. Elder. “This man Snyder and some other witnesses are not as well up on dates as some other people. “They may have been slightly mixed in trying to explain the various times at which the lodge meetings were held to which Klein belonged. It 1s an unimpor- tant matter, and one in which almost any one might make an error. Surgeon General IVIch-lin Dead. ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. EEO—Surgeon General McParlin, U. S.

Wyman, of Chicago, went to Newport “News recently, and While waiting for a ferryboat a. stranger, a man about VVyman’s age, came up and shared his seat. They were waiting for the same boat. “You were in the Union army,” said the strange rcglancing at the button on VVyman's lapel. "Where did you serve?” . “I was in the First Wisconsin Heavy Artillery, and put in a. good share Of the time guarding the big bridge over the Green River in'Kentucky.” answered the N ortherner. “You did! that bridge. and was there when" the third attempt, which you fellows stopped, was made.

All at once I strucl: a. dry bush and 'snapped a stick unde: my knee at the same time. Then a rifle shot came from a picket at a. point not twenty yards away, and my right arm was broken by the ball. The follow had fired at the noise and made a good shot. It alarmed the . guard, and our third attempt ‘ to blow up the bridge was a failure. VJ ere you stationed there then?” “Yes,” said VVyman; “I am the man who shot you. I never saw you, but I heard the moving of the bush and the breaking of the twig. After I shot you you walked straight to the right for ten yards and then ran back for. your com- mand." _ "That is exactly what I did,” Southerner. “\Ve found your tracks in the sand the next day.

"On the shores of the largest of these ponds, known as Van Gilder’s, are the Ocean Mills. The waters of the pond are kept from running away in use- less streams by a large dam. This pond was fairly alive with muskrats. It was no common thing to see ten or a dozen of them sunning themselves on the logs of the dam, and every spring when the rising waters drove them from their holes the banks were fairly alive with them. The pres- ence of so many of these animals led to the establishment of an industry, that of hunting muskrats. _ Time and again the farmers about the pond have been awakened late at night by the mill hands to assist in stopping up some leak in the dam, through which the water threatened to tear its wayto the damage of the forms below. Year after year the'mill owner has been compelled to make re- pairs, but the reason for the continual wear never appeared clear to him un- til recently he discovered that the col- ony of muskrats had become so large that great holes were being eaten in the dam and only a few pilings remained to hold back the water. Alexander Ludlam, a farmer. while waiting for muskrats, noticed the w: - ter breaking" through the logs in a stream that promised to increase to a flood if not stopped immediately. Twen- ty of more farmers turned out and st0p- ped the break temporarily, and then the 'water was. let out of the pond through the sluiccway. Investigation of the dam showed that 300 or 400 muskruts had beds there, and when their hiding place was revealed they scnmpered away in all directions. An investigation showed that the muskruts had burrowed into the dirt banks to such an extent that these were entirely too weak, and a new dam would have to be built—New York Sun. n...— H 1-1 Excuse Insufficient.
