Washington, Nov. 23.—The largest financial transaction in which the Gov- ernment has taken part since the last bond sale took place yesterday in Washington and New York, in “the transfer to the Reorganization Com- mittee of the $13,645,250 of bonds held by the Government as a sinking fund for the company and the payment by- the Reorganization Committee of the $58, 000, 000 bid for the railroad property at the foreclosure sale in Omaha on Nov. 1. The money was deposited tol the credit of Treasurer Roberts in- the National City Bank at New York, the certificate of deposit being given to James F. Meline, Assistant Treasurer, who represented Mr. Roberts there. A portion of the bonds, $4,500,000 in amount, which had been held in .the Sub-Treasury at New York, was deliv- ered at the same time by Mr. Meline to the representatives of the Reorgani- zation Committee. The deposit of the money was announced by telephone to Secretary Gage at 12 o ’,clock in a spe- ‘rcial message from Mr. Meline, where- upon the delivery of .the .bonds oc- curred. Two clerks of the bank, "Messrs. Creek and Adee, sent to -Washington for that purpose, received the bonds \ here, $9,145, 250, in Treasurer Rebert’s 1 ofiice. The appearance of the 89 cents in the transaction has given the Treasury officials no end of 'worry, and the dis- position to be made of it may yet be referred to Congress. The sum named in thedecree of 'sale included the 89 cents, but how it got there the Treas- ury people have no idea. It was an error, and ’they express to the Reor- ganization Committee a perfect -will- ingness to waive the Government’s claim to it. But the members of- the committee said they couldn’.t avail themselves of the proffered waiver, and there it is. A suggestion to add it to the conscience fund'did not meet with the favor of the department. If Congress doesn’ t come to the relief of the Bookkeeping, Warrant and Public Moneys Division, a new account will have to be opened for the care of that 89: -.ents TROTTERS GOi’TO EUROPE. Austrian Horsemen Get the Best Horses at the New York Sale. New York, Nov. 23.—The most exten— sive auction sale of trotters and pacers ever Held in this country began yes- terday at Madison Square Garden. Nearly eight hundred horses are cata- logued, and with an intermission on Thursday and Sunday, the sale will be continued day and night until Thurs- day of next week. Upward of two hun- dred of the animals that will pass un- der the hmmer have public records ranging from 2. 061,4 to 2 30, and this re- markable array of speed has brought together a big crowd of well-known horsemen from all parts of the United States and Canada and from Europe. Mrs. Dan McPhee, widow of the well- »known Canadian trainer, who died at Vienna last Spring; John Fleischman, Henry A. Fleischman, Albert Mosher and Schlesinger & Co., all ,of Vienna, were the most prominent foreign buy- ers present yesterday. They bought the cream of the offerings. The Hon. Charles M. Reed’s fine show mares, Alice Leyburn and Georgie M. who were so much in evidence at the - HOrse Show last week, were st1uck off .«to Schlesinger & Co., of Vienna. fOr ”$30,200. The once-noted campaignm Pixley, 2. 08%, which was the contending trotter against Alix in the memorable $15,000 Columbian free—for-all race at Chicago in ”1893, brought only $650. She is 11 years old. W. M. V. Hoffman, who bought her, refused to take a profit of $700 within one hour after Pixley‘ was knocked down. N0. ARBITRATION TREATY. Denial of Story that Negotiations Had Been Comp‘Ieted. Washington, Nov. 23.—It is stated on- authority that there have been no re— cent negotiations between Secretary Sherman and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Ambassador, concerning a new arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain; that no exchange of notes has occurred be- tween Mr. Sherman and Lord Salisbury on this subject, and that Sir Julian has not mentioned the matter since he re- turned to Washington some weeks ago ‘ from London. These explicit statements were called out by detailed reports recently pub- lished to the effect that negotiations on the new treaty had progressed to the final stage. Some months ago an intimation was conveyed by the authorities here that a renewal of the negotations on the treaty would be viewed with favor, and a rough draft of a treaty was made, but negbti‘atio‘n‘s'were not begun, as it was felt the defeat of the last treaty made it inadvisable to make a new one ~ nntil positive evidence was at hand that it would not meet the same un- favorable action in the Senate.

Washington, Nov. 23.—The Govern- ment, is loser by two decisions of the Court of Claims. When John Wana- maker was Postmaster-Gene'ral he is- sued an order fixing the rate to be paid by the Government for the transmis- sion of telegraphic messages at. one mill a. word. Against this the'Western Union Telegraph Company-protested throughout the Administration of which Mr. Wanamaker was a member, and at the close of his term of office sued the Government in the Court of Claims to recover the amount of money to which it thought it wasientitie‘d for the business transacted during the ex- istenee of- that order. The matter was referied last June to First Assistant Postmaster- General Heath, as master, for examination. In September he reported that the tele- graph company was entitled to recover $258,869.84. This report was confirmed by the court yesterday, and judgment given the telegraph company for that sum. The decree, however, expressly stipulates that nothing it contains shall ’in any manner prejudice the right of the Government in case of any other litigation respecting telegraph rates to assert its right to fix the rates for Gov- renment business. The court also denied the motion of the Government to dismiss the case of Cramp & Sons for the recovery of about two million. dollars claimed- to be due the firm on its contracts for build- ing war. ships because of changes of plans during construction and delays caused by failure to deliver armor on time. BOILER EXPLOSION KILLS TWO. One Was an Insurance Company's Inspector Who was Testing the Boiler. ' Rochester, Nov. 23.—A boiler in the engine room of the Graves Elevator Works in this city exploded yesterday afternoon, totally wrecking a. one-story brick building in which it was located and burying the fireman and Patrick Shields, a. boiler inspector, beneath its ruins. At the time of the explosion, Mr. Shields, who lives in Jersey City and represents the Hartford Insurance Company, was making an official test of the boilers. He was found resting against a chimney, with the top of his head blown off. His body and that of the fireman, Robert Henry, IV cie taken to the morgue. All the windows in the surrounding. buildings were blown out, and several workmen employed in a neighboring picture frame factory were injured by flying bricks. the entire Fire Department and all the ambulances in the city. The cause of the explosion is not known. The loss is estimated at $40,000. OBJECTS TO JUDGE HORTON. Lnetgcrt Says 'i‘hey Can’t Drag Him to Trial Again at That Bar. Chicago, Nov. 33.—“There are not enough guards in the United States to make me go before Judge Horton for trial. If I go to his courtroonrit will be because they put me in chains and drag me thele, as the soldiers dragged Hammond at Fort Sheridan. I shall never walk. I would rather put a rope aiound my neck and be hanged here in jail to- day than appear for trial bef018 Horton. He would railroad me to the gallows’ Thus spoke A'delph L. Luetgert, charged with wife mui (lei, whose case was set for retrial before Judge Oliver H. Hinton, of the Circuit Court, yes- terday. Luetgert’s counsel, Albert Phalen, was equally opposed to Judge Horton, and the attorneys for the prosecution have not consented to try the case be- fore anothe1 judge. Unless an ag1ee- ment is reached by 1 o c’lock to- day, it is probable that the defence will ask for a change of venue. - Fourth-Class Postnlasters Appointed.
