A large crowd was attracted to Police Head
quarters about noon yesterday bya dude rush
Ing down Louisiana avenue, followed by
crowd of boyP, one of whom was bleeding at
tho nose. When Police Headquarters was
reached the dude rushed In and claimed tho
protection Of the police, and the fellow with
the bloody nose said the dude assaulted him,
and the dude Offset this statement by showing
bad bruise on the side Of his mock, which he

SARCASM FOR SHERMAN.
What Was Meant by Tint Cincin-
natl Riot Resolution i'm tho House



The Joint resolution introduced In the House
yesterday by Mr.. Nichols (Ga.) authorizing
Senator sherman's Danville Riot Investigating
Committee to investigate the causes which
lead 10 the riot at Cincinnati is regarded In
Congressional circles as bit OF sarcasm. No
one seems to believe an investigation OF the
Cincinnati riot has been seriously entertained
In any quarter, and much less is there llkell-
hood that II Will be ordered.
Republicans cay II Is merely
a Blow at Senator Sherman,
who brought about the Danvllle Investigation.
1t Is said that Senator Sherman has received
n lot OF sarcastic kilograms from Virginia and
Louisiana Bourbons In reference to the Oln-
cinnati riot. They say he had better go home
and look after his own rioters; that he would
do well TO hire this, that and the other organ
ization and able liar to swear for him before
the committee, etc.

THE DOMINICAN TREATY.


The New York "Herald" Points Out the Adj
vantages of the Agreement.
New YORK, Dec. 1S-The Herald this morn
ing publishes thu full text of the San Domingo
treaty, and says in regard to it: 'All CONNER
cial advantages are not only retained, but every
encouragement is given to the introduction of
American manufactures and industries. Our
legal-tender standard gold and silver is to be the
standard of Dominica and tribunal OF arbitra-
ton is to be constituted for the settlement of
every dispute which may arise from such COM
mercial reciprocity. These are some of the in
trinsic merits of the treaty. but greater one is
held in view by the administration, inasmuch as
the harbor of SANTANA will eventually become
the great coaling station Of the European world S
new highway of commerce via Nicaragua to the
Pacific, and this harbor will, it is believed IN
der the benefits of such treaty as awaits
ratification, be also the site of an American col
ony, not less important than the ones that are to
grow up at either terminus Of the interoceauie
canal. That feature of the treaty which pro
poses to adopt our standard of gold and silver
coinage as the Domican standard and admit our
silver coinage for circulation there will not only
prepare the way for American interests in San
Domingo, but will be of advantage to our mer-
camille interests with that country"

Rockland Courier Gazette.
The other day a Rockland household was
made proud and happy by the introduction of a
cabinet organ. The mother could play little,
and as there was popular collection of music
included in the purchase, she lost no time in
getting every note and stop into practice. The
organ groaned, and wheezed, and complained,
with the most astonishing music, night and day,
day and night, for week Then one morning
there was a knock at the door, and little girl
from the next house shrilly said:
"Please, marin, mother wants to know if you
won't lend her your music booll"
This was a surprising request, inasnuch as the
woman next door was known to be organizes.
After gasping once or twice, the amateur organ
ist asked:
What does she want of it}'
The child hadn't been loaded for this question,
so she straightforwardly replied:
Il don't Ksow, I'm sure, only I heard mother
tell father that if she had hold of the book for a
day or two, mebbe somebody could get a rest"
The woman softly shut the door in the little
girls face, and went and carefully locked the
cabinet organ with a brass key.

SENATORIAL Sc CRECY.
Refusal to Order an Inquiry as to How til
Treaties Became Public.

Refusal to Order Inquiry to How the
Treaties Became Public.
WAsHNGToN, Dec. 18.-In executive session
of the Senate to-day, after the confirmation of
Secretary NcCulloch, a resolution was intro
duced by member of the Senate committee on
foreign relations, reeiting in its preamble that
the Dominican treaty had been published in the
New York Herald, and the Nicaraugan treaty in
the New York Tribune, today, and proposing
that a special committee be raised to investigate
the methods by which copies of these treaties
had been secured by the press suggestion
was made that, inasmuch as the foreign rela-
tons committee had the treaties in custody, the
investigation should be undertaken by that com
mittee. To this the members of the committee
objected, on the grounds that the members of
the committee would be thus called upon to sit
in Judgment on each other and suggested that
the Senate committee on pr egeS and elections
be charged with the duty. The members of the
latter committee objected general principles
and called the attention of the older senators
to the fact that on a former occasion
such an investigation had been undertaken
and had resulted only in bringing rdicule and
contempt upon a committee of the Senate
An assertion was made on the Democratic side
that special friends of the State Department
were first supplied with copies of all treaties
and the opinion was expressed by this senator
that the administration was probably at fault in
the matter
This gave rise to a short but rather acrimoni
GUS partisan debate Several senators lamented
the inability OF the Senate to enforce its rules,
i'll reply to which the point was made that the
rules had better be amended to meet what
seemed to be popular want Some one sug-
gested that the Nicaraugan government, or the
Nicaraugan minister, had given out the Nicarau-
gan treaty, and the senators generally accepted
this as probability, until ii was remembered
that the Presidents message as transmitted had
been published with this treaty, whereupon the
new theory was abandoned
An amendment was next offered that the text
of the two treatises be published in the Congress
sonal Record tomorrow morning. This being
objected to, a motion made to lay the Origi-
nal resolution on the table, and this was carried
almost unanimously.

Seventeen and-one half miles of the canal hes
between the Pacific and tho lake; the distance
across the lake is sixty-three miles; from the
mouth of the San Carlos where the canal will
leave the San Juan, to the harbor of Greytown,
the distance is thirty-six miles, which. it is
hoped, will by new surveys be shortened ten
miles. The total canal excavation would be
thus from forty three-and one half TO ifty-three-
