San Juan Arbitration.

The following is a translation of
the text of the award made by the
German Emperor:
We, William, by the grace of God
German Emperor, King of Prussia,
DC, after examination of the trea-
ty between the governments of her
Britannia Majesty and that of the
United States Of America, dated at
Washinton, May 9Th, 1871, by virtue
of which the above-named govern
ments have submitted to our arbi-
tration the question at issue between
them, viz, whether the line of boun-
dary which, according to the treaty
dated at Washington, June Is, 1916,
after it had been continued west
ward along the forty-ninth parallel
of north latitude to the middle of
the channel which separates the
continent from Vancouver's Island,
shall be further drawn southerly
through the middle of the said chan
mel and of Fuca Straits to the Pacif-
ic ocean, should be run, as claimed
by the Government of her Britannia
Majesty, through the Rosario Straits
or through the Canal of Haro, as
claimed by the government of the
United States, in order that we
should decide finally and without ap-
peal which of these claims is most in
accordance with the true interpreta-
tion Of the treaty of June Is, 1916:

Horse Disease

Many prescriptions for the disease
have found their way into print.
We give one more, which has the
weight of an army order, issued in
the Department ofthe East:
On the first appearance of the dis
ease give the horse a thorough steam
ing with boiled oats placed in bae,
and so fastened to the head that the
steam from the oats will be inhaled.
Repeat this until the discharge from
the nostrils is free and of natural
color. Then take the leather, or,
what is better, carbolic disinfectant,
in grains like large-sized cannon
powder, place it in shallow pan, and
burn it where the horse will be oblig-
ed to breathe it.
If the throat is sore (which gener-
ally will be the case) apply FREQUENT
ly hot vinegar, rubbing it well in
with the hand, and wrap the throat
in flannel dipped in vinegar. Sponge
out the nostrils frequently dipped in
warm vinegar. Blanket well night
and day, but not enough to produce
sweating, and give plenty of feed
with clean bedding.
Give several bran mashes. with !
to | ounce ofpowdered nitre in each, |
and use linseed meal or flax seed in
5he oats. Use tepid water IN the-I
nash. '1i ,I775E

Asuatan,atio snio,aa

Suicides have come to be such a
regular feature of our social life that
the causes, methods, and spirit there
of would form an interesting study
for the philosopher. The most calm
and philosophic case of self-slaught-
er of which we have lately read was
that of Mr.. John H. Woodbury.. of
Howell, Vermont. He had a cancer
in his mouth which made his life
burden to himself and others. and
there was no hope of curing it. He
accordingly obtained some NOR
phine, making no secret of his pur-
pose, ordered a coffin, made all nee
essary arrangements for very sim
pie funeral, bade his friends good
bye, and retired to a quiet chamber.
where he took the fatal dose and
fell into a sleep from which there
was no walking in this world. If
there was always as good a cause for
suicide, and if it were done so de
Gently and in order, then we should
look upon the act with sadness and
not with the contempt which we so
often feel.-Nelc York Eveninq Nail

The Markets and the Fire.

~ ~@~1A6SSo dlA I4AC = AAC-
New YORK, November IA Bos-
ton special says it is roughly esti-
mated that 10000 sides of upper
and and rough leather and calf
skins, were destroyed. Already,
prices in upper leather have ad-
vanced from ten TO twenty per cent,
and it is quite likely that corner
will be made in this staple. Of sole
leather, it is known that three hun
dred thousand sides, at least, were
burned, but the quantity of. hides
destroyed was very small, and there
is no reason for an advance in this
material. A rise in boots and shoes
is inevitable. People who come to
buy must De prepared to pay much
higher prices than formerly, and Sc
lect from much smaller stocks. The
boot and shoe trade is regarded as
in good condition. The dealers
burned out had, az a general thing,
lighter stocks than many supposed.
The most exact statemenG of the
quantity of wool destroyed, Just
made, gives a total of 1O,225,OOO
pounds, distributed as follows: Do
nestle fleece, 425,0OO pounds; Cali
fornia, Oregon, &c, 100000; tub,
10000; secured, 10000; pulled, l.
325, 600; Australian, 1000, 600; Cape,
100000; South American, 100000
sundries, 6O4,0O0. These figures
were obtained yesterday direct from
individual losers. The amount now
in the bonded warehouses IN this
city, as reported at the Custom
House. yesterday afternoon, is IA
100000 pounds ;Philadelphia 100000
pounds, and in New York 100000
pounds. Most of the small iobbers
here are probably all right, but it is
feared that two or three of the large
| ljobbers, between whom there was
a good deal of rivalry, may fail.
There has been brisk inquiry from
manufacturers, and the sales since
the fire up to last night, have been
100000 pounds.
Cotton goods are not likely to be
much affected. 1t was the close of
the season when the fire came and
the amount of stock in store was
small. There was quite a large de-
struction Of carpets, some setting it
as high as two hundred thousand
dollars. The Lowell Company had
a large stock destroyed. The stock
from the carpet mills was mostly
stored in the city and within the
burnt district.
The market for wholesale clothing
will not be seriously affected.
1t is noticeable that outsiders ow-
ing bills here are to a great extent
anticipating their payments. Sew
eral instances of the payment of
bills due on the first of December,
and some as late as the first of Jan
uary, have been reported to-day and
yesterday. This is the best posi-
BILE aid that can be given to the suf-
ferers by the fire. The paper held
by the banks is largely that of out
siders, indorsed by burned out hous-
es, and it is fortunate that the gen
eral state of business abroad, in 9th
er commercial centres, is SO satisfae-
tory that calls are not to be made
for their settlement.

Arrest of Noted Produce Merchant
Startling Scene in a New york

Arrest of a Noted Produce Merchant
Startling Scene in a New York
Hotel.
Mrs. Clara Courtney registered in
the Astor House, New York, with
her husband from Pottsville, Penn.
about two years ago. She remained
several months, and from the cour-
tesy she received on the part of the
proprietors, formed a high opinion
of the hotel. She went to New York
about three weeks ago, and went to
the Astor House. She noticed. dav
after day, a man of respectable ap
pearance dOgging her through the
corridors, and informed Mr.. Charles
A. Stetson, Jr., of the strange con-
duct Of the man. Mr.. Stetson in
formed Special Officer Tully of the
matter, and strict watch was kept
for the man who, it was ascertained,
was not a resident of the hotel.
Tuesday morning, about IL o'clock,
Mrs. Courtney went to her room, and
shortly afterward heard knocking
at the door. Thinking it was the
chamber-maid, she opened the door,
and found her unknown prosecutor
outside in the corridor. She imme-
diately attempted to close the door,
but the man put his shoulder to it
and burst it in. He then tried to
fasten the door, but proved unsuc-
cessful. He next endeavored to
perpetrate an atrocious assault on
Mrs. Courtney, when she screamed
for help. Col. Chas. Stetson and
Officer Tully, hearing the alarm,
hurried to the rescue. The miscre-
ant, finding himself in danger, broke
away from the room and fed into
the cellar of the hotel, where he was
finally captured by Officer Tully.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that Col. Stetson and Officer Tully
could prevent the gentlemen guests
OF the hotel from inficting condign
punishment upon their prisoner.
Detective Mcdonnell, of the Third
Precinct, was notified, and on arriv-
ing at the hotel took the prisoner in
to his custody. Mrs. Courtney was
first opposed to making any com
plant against the fellow, owing to
the publicity which would Decessi-
sarily follow, but she finally did SO.
The man was arraigned before AL
derman Conan, at the Tombs Police
Court, Tuesday afternoon. He
proved to be John H. Tenant,
produce commission merchant, resi-
ding with his wife and family at No.
43 Park avenue, and does business
at 90 Pearl street. On Mrs. Court
ney stating the facts in the case,
Alderman Conan committed Ten
nant without bail for trial.

The editor of the La Crosse, Wis
consin Democrat, Brick Pomeroy's
paper, was foolish enough to stay
down town on election night anxious
to hear the Grant and Greeley re-
turns. He heard them, and about
II O'Clock concluded that it was time
for him to "go home," and, on sug-
gestion Of his better-half when he
reached his domicile, he retired to
his little bed, and this is the way he
felt after drawing the blankets over
his head:
"Soon Morpheus took us in his
arms, and we dreamed that we were
a Frear- stone side walk, and that the
whole Grant party of the United
States were walking over us from
head to foot, in single file with spike
shoes on. They were longer time
passing a given point than any
Grant procession we ever saw, but
they all got over at last, though ii
took them nearly all night. They
are heavy steppers, and we know
some of them we're drunk, they wad-
died around So"

The n. Y. T5T5uae's Washington
correspondent says:
'The President has recently been
arranging the points for his Message,
but has not yet begun writing it.
The contents of the document can
be inferred only from his recent pri-
vate utterances, but it is safe to say
that it will be more liberal in its
tone, especially toward the South,
than his former messages, the recent
vote in that section being indicative
of better feeling than heretofore
toward the General Government,
while the press is more moderate in
its utterances. The recent pardon
Of Appleton Oaksmith is regarded by
Southern gentlemen as showing a
more friendly policy and foreshad-
owing the Executive action relative
to some of the Ku-Klux prisoners
now serving out their sentences in
the Albany Penitentiary."
That is quite liberal for the paper
which is mot a Morgan" Greeley
is perhaps convinced now that he
was not specially "called" to the
Presidency.

4,403, or only aboutI20 per cent |
All Of which shows conclusively the
immediate and great increase Of
wealth and population consequent
upon the introduction of railroads.
Now, this is no fancy sketch, but
a sober reality, and a direct argu-
ment to every reasonable mimi that
no greater benefit could be offered to
our people than tEat one now ex-
tended by the proposed east and
west line. We do not believe we
could point out more clearly where
their advantages lie, than to thus
point them to what has been achiev-
ed, and ask them to vote for giving
the contemplated aid to the new line
with an amost certainty of deriving
equal advantages from it tc those de-
rived from the roads We already
have.
We come now to notice an objec-
ton urged by opponents ofthis mea-
sure, too frivolous and untenable to
stand moment with any one who
will give it that much examination.
1t is this: They say, if this aid is
voted, it will add 4 mills on the dol
lar to the taxes for the next twenty
years, in order to pay the interest on
these bonds. This would be a good
argument if the world stood still, but
as it moves, it is pure imposition.
The present taxable valuation of
city and township is $2,720,572.
Four mills on the dollar would yield
S1O.SS2 or 1852 in excess of enough
to pay 8per cent interest on proposed
bonds. But we have shown that the
averge yearly increase, for the past
| % years, in the taxable valuation Of
city and township, has been more
than $105, 900, consequently our tax
duplicate must grow yearly, and as
it grows the rate of tax required for
that purpose must decrease at 1easr
in that proportion. But still further
thus:
The Lake Shore road which runs
2 45-100 miles through city and
township, has added to the city Yalu-
alton $157,O17 and to the township
valuation $154,643-ora a total o.
$31b,660. The proposed line will
run distance of 5 miles through
city and township, and when fully
equipped will eventually, add, in the
same ratio, about double that of the
Lake Shore, or say $685., 900, or near
| Iy one-fourth of the present valua
ton, which in itself would materially
reduce the rate. But we will endeavol
to put it in little clearer shape and
to that end give table showing tbs
manner in which it will effect tax
alton. ~

The Poultry Epidemic.

The N. Y. World of the 18th says
The reported prevalence of an cpl
demic among the poultry seems to
have created most excitement among
the market men. Poultry dealers
affirm that there is no truth il the
report, and that it was started by ri
val dealers in meats and fish to weak
en- their sales, particularly during
Thanksgiving week, when they are
so much greater than at other
times. They affirm, further, that
the "poultry crop" never looked bet
ter, and that fewer chickens and
turkeys have died this year from dis
ease than in any season for many
years back. One firm received yes
terday a large quantity of poultry
from Illinois, Pennsylvania and New
jersey; and other similar shipments
from Ohio, Indiana, and the interior
of New York; and all the dealers ex-
press ignorance of any prevalent dis
ease. On the other hand, however.
the butchers and pork dealers say
that a destructive disease is certain
ly raging in the stock of poultry in
the different States, and claim that
the poultry dealers are afraid to
furnish true statement of the case,
as by this means their business
would suffer severely. Some of the
of Fulton market admit !
that there is slight disease among
the fowls, but say that the symp-
toms are similar to those exhibited |
Dy them almost every year. The |
.arge numbers of chickens, turkeys
and eggs daily received, they say, |
prove that no disease had, as yet, |
nterfered with the crop. Many
armers claim that the reported cpl
lemic is nothing but a mild form of |
he ''chicken cholera" which breaks /
,ut almost every year. \

A clause in the appropriation bill
last session, repealed that provision
which has been in force ever since
Johnson's time, under which each
new Congress began its first session
Immediately after the old retired, on
the Sd of March. The next Con-
gress will not meet until the first
Monday in December, 1873, unless
the above provision is restored by
the present Congress at its coming
session. 1t follows that we shall
have short session in 1923, and
no Congress from March Sd to De-
cemDer LIST, 1878.

The above table shows that after
the next year, allowing the corpora
tion and township taxes to be as
heavy as now, the rate of taxation
would steadily decrease, in conse-
quence of the additions to the tax
duplicate, until, in the year 1866,
the average rate would be the same
as now, and the tax be virtually
wiped out, in consequence of being
distributed upon double the present
valuation. So that, instead of pay
ing 4 mills on the dollar more for
the next twenty years, than they are
paying now, in fourteen years the
taxpayers would pay the same as
now, with less rate for the next
six years,ofthe twenty. Do not, then
allow yourselves to be misled by any
such pretense, but vote for the Rail
road and your own prosperity.

Protection to American 1nvsn+o,.


Many inventors of the United
States have expressed their reluc.
tance TO contribute to the Vienna
Exposition. for the reason that oW-
ing to the stringent character of the
patent laws of Austria, American
patentees would have no remedy
against the appropriation of their
improvements by persons of other
nationalities without compensation.
In order to overcome this dificuItv
our Government yesterday prepared
the project of treaty or convention
between the United States and Aus
tria, in order to secure in that coun-
try the right of American inventors
to the same extent that Austrian in
ventors are protected in our country.
1t designs to lay this proposition be-
fore the Austrian Government at the
earliest practical period, and the tel .
egraph may be used to facilitate the
negotiation. Should this measure be
consummated our Government will
to the various nations Of
Europe that some international ar
be made to secure the |
lights of inventors OF their respec- !
i've countries under similar circum-
tances, !
