No Treaty Wiih Canada.

New YORK, Sept, PA Washington
special to the Post says: "rhe treaty with
Canada, which came in a dispatch OF the 23d,
has no foundation. In fact, so far as the al
legged facts are stated, it had been submitted
to Pres dent Cleveland and Secretary Bay
ard and agreed upon. No negotiations for
any treaty with Great Britain on the part Of
the United States has been entered upon
since the convention which was laia before
the senate at its last session, and was LETT uIl-
acted on. II is within the limits OF possibility,
Assistant Secretary of State Porter says, that
the prospects for the suggested convention
amendat0ry of the treaty OF 1918 may have
been forwarded by the British colonial Office
to the Canadian ministry for suggestion.
But no credencO is attached to the statement
purpOring to give the text OF its provisions.
The further statement that q modification Of
the details had been telegraphed in cipher by
Sir John Mcdonald 10 the British minister
here is purely imaginary and untrue. The
British ambassador does not receive instrIlc-
uOns or suggestions from colonial authors

New YORK, Sept 4-ISpecial Tcle-
gram to the BEE "A New York special
from Charleston says: Virgins prediction
has done more TO unuerve the people of
Charleston than all the seismic disturbances
that have occurred since September 1. 1t is
useless to say there can be no foundation for
the prediction. Even men who know the
utter absurditv of IT., but who have been
through the earthquake, were unneryed at
reading it. Women and children are utterly
prostratcd. The News and Courier tried to
show Virgins prophesy to be without foun-
dation, but there is no use to attempt to argue
with men. women and children who have
been living on the brink OF a crater for nearly
a month. Until September % is passed there
will be no rest in this afflicted city, Many
men sent their families to Savannah, New
Orleans, Macon and other cities, in the hope
of being able to attend to their business.
Their state of mind cannot be described. The
situation, barring the Virgins prophesy and
its results is rather cheerful to-day. The
opinion among the more intelligent classes. is
that the Canadian charlatan should be
"snutted out"

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Sept. 2,-George NJ
Bartholomew was heard from to-day in Mont
real. Several letters were received fIom him.
As far as can be learned the missives con-
tanned no facts of public interest. Friends of
Bartholomew here say that under the great
pressure that was on him at the time of his
flight he would have died had he
stayed here. lie made the utmost
eXertions to protect those whose
funds he had taken. AS the matter is
studied over it is found that he gave the
Charter Oak Life Insurance company
Sl50O00 bonds, witch he said were worth 10
cents on the dollar, and gave the IIolyoke
Water Power company security for all the
money he had received from it, and
also secured other creditors as far
as he could. where he had wrongfully appro-
priated funds although the securities were
not really negotiable. The condition of the
Union Manufacturing company has not vet
been fully ascertained, but it is believed the
concern owes about S3)J,G00, which would
wipe out the stock but leave notes worth
a large part OF their face value.
Most of these have his endorsement. 1t is
known to his friends that he only took $50
with him. Isaac w. Brooks, of Terrington,
who has been appointed receiver of the
Charter Oak Life Insurance company, gave
bonds in S250,0OO to-day and qualified.
