The Search in the Ruins-Scheller
Thought to be at Madison.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 1S.--TwO bodies and
several small pieces of remains were re-
covered from the ruins of the Newhall
House this forenoon, making forty-five in
ali. OF these four have been identified
since the search began, which, with the
nineteen originally at the mOrgue, makes
twenty-three identified dead, and sixty
four dead in all. The search will be fin
ished tomorrow.
Sheriff Bentley, who accompanied Schel-
Ter, returned from Madison this morning,
refusing information of any kind, which
confirms the belief that Scheller is in the
Dane county Jail. The District Attorney
stated to press agent that Scheller's pre-
liminary examination will not be had
until after the inquest is finished, which
will take fully week. In the absence of
a statement promised by Landlord Antis-
del to the press it is positively impossible
to figure at the number of bodies yet in
the ruins, but it is supposed to be from
twelve to fifteen, which would make the
total number of victims seventy-fve to
eighty

THE MEXICAN TREATY.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The Inter
national Commission, appointed to nego-
tiate a commercial treaty between the
United States and Mexico, has held meet
ings at the State Department every day
this week, and has made very satisfac-
tory progress in its work. From
well informed source it is learned
that free list has been agreed
upon, which, although it does not greatly
increase the number of articles already
imported free into the United States from
Mexico, does, nevertheless, remove a
number OF unnecessary duties. Among
the articles upon whose free importation
Mexico lays particular stress is sugar
not above No. 16 Dutch standard in
color. This is sought not so much
with the view to the immediate free ex-
pOrtatiOn of such sugar from Mexico into
the United States as for the purpose Of
encouraging and developing the caIture
OF cane and the manufacture Of sugar in
the former country, In the six years
during which the treaty is to
continue in force it is hardly
possible, in the opinion of the Mexi-
can representatives, that expectation of
sugar from Mexico should reach any very
considerable proportions, At the same
time the development of sugar manufac.
ture there, i'll connection with the free adj
mission of agricultural implements and
machinery from the United States, would
give free play to an important Mexican
industry, and be reciprOcallV beneficial to
both countries. The list Of articles to be
imported free of duty from the United
States into Mexico has been considerably
enlarged.
Among other things there have been
added to 1t petroleum (crude and refined )
for Illuminating purposes, machinery,
agricultural implements, tools for arti-
sans and houses made of iron and wood,
A provision has been virtually agreed
upon which will relieve the commerce of
the United States from the transit duties
which have hitherto been imposed
upon goods passing from State to State
within the Republic of Mexico. 1t is in
timated, furthermore, that provision will
probably be agreed upon to permit the
transportation of commodities from the
United states to Mexico and from Mexico
to the United States under the terms of
this treaty in ships owned by citizens of
either republic, which have been Duilt with
IN the territory of either; in other words,
to allow trade between the two countries
under the treaty to be carried on in ships
built in the United States and bought by
citizens of Mexico, or built in Mexico and
bought by citizens of the United States.
Other important prOyisions are under
consideration, but it is believed that they
nave not yet taken Hnal shape.

DAVITT AND HEALY
Pleading Their Causes Before Il
Queens Bench.

Pleading Their Causes Before the
Queens Bench.
DUBLIN, Jan. 1S.-Michael Davitt ap-
peared before the Queens Bench Division
to-day. The court room was densely
crowded. Many members of the Ladies'
League, and Mr.. and Mrs. Healy, were
present, The Judge declined Davitt's re-
quest to be allowed to question sub-In-
spectOr Seymour, who laid the information
against him. Davitt contended that his
speech at Navan did not Justify
charges of melting to lawlessness.
The principles he advocated did
not interfere with the admin
istratiOn or observance of law. He had
urged immediate relief for the distressed.
The same object was alluded to a few
days afterwards in the Queens speech.
Punishment on suspicion was abhorrent
to English law. These proceedings were
calculated to bring the bench into dis
repute. His speech did the public a SER
vice. He was ready to stand by it as re-
ported in the FFeendn'S Journal. That re-
port differed from the report of the inform
ers. He asked that the application be
dismissed.
Mr.. Healy then addressed the court. He
'cOntended that his speech was no more di-
rected against the constituted authority
than was Mr., CObden's against the corn
laws or Mr.. GladstOne's on Bulgaria. He
concluded by saying that all the liberty
which had been gained in Ireland had
been gained by agitation. The court re-
served its judgment pending perusal of the
atfidavits in the case.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 1S.-Ten thousand
