3. Waite was met at o'clock this morning
by Inspector ByrneS at the Grand Central
depot in this city and taken to The Office of
District Attorney MARITIME. Mr.. Waite was
not under arrest as was at first thought,
but was giving information on the Broad
way franchise. Late this afternoon detec-
tives LETT the city hall with a number OF
warrants. 1t was almost positively stated
that they were the arrest of franchise alder
men of the board of 1884. District At
tOrney MARITIME said he had con-
bluded his interview with Mr..
Waite; that Mr.. Waite had not been ar
rested and it was true that the eX-alderman
had made a statement about the Broadway
franchise business. What the substance
was would not be told. The official could
not tell what might be done in the future as
to aTestlng Waite. The eX-alderman's
statement had been very satisfactory 10 the
district attorney. The official stated that
he would not go home to Harlem tonight,
but would remain down town because I'M
portant matters might turn up at any time
during these troublesome times" 1t was
Aid. Waite would be comfortably cared
for tonight, and that his mouth
had been muzzled. Waite went with In
spector ByrneS to police headquarters an d
renamed there. Byrnes said Waite was
not under arrest, and that Waite had in
formed him that he had given the reporter
for an afternoon paper a lot of ghost
stories" Later in the evening the detec-
tlyes returned TO police headquarters, hay
ing in custody eX-President James p. Kirk
Of the board of aldermen Of 1854. Inspector
Byrnes said the charge against him was
bribery, but declined to give any further
particulars.
Later-Inspector Byrnes returned to
headquarters and joined eX-Alderman
Waite in the detectives private office,
where the eX-alderman had remained dur
ing the evening. Meantime eX-Presldent
OF the Board Kirk had been taken below
and placed in a cell. He took matters
philosophically, and when told that he was
accused of bribery merely shrugged his
shoulders Friends came to see ham, but
were denied. At 10 o'clock Waite was
quietly spirited away to spend the night, it
was said, in a hotel in company with a

The British Not interested.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-The attention
of Secretary Whitney has been called to a
cable report that the London Daily News
has demanded of the British government an
explanation of the statement printed in
New York thai British constructors and
officers are interested financially in the con-
structiOn Of the new vessels to be built for
the American navy, and that the News
bases its demand upon the statement in
New York paper that these vessels were to
be designed by syndicate, of which Sir
Nathaniel Burnaby, eX-chief constructor of
the British navy, Mr.. White, present chief
constructor, and the firm of William Arm
strong " Co., are the principal members.
The secretary said there was no truth in
this statement, and added that he knew of
10 foundation for any such story, except
the fact that he has from time to time col
lected information regarding modern YES
sells, and that this has included certain
plans obtained from Sir William Arm
strong.
''Mr White" said the secretary, was the
naval constructor of the firm before becom-
ing the director of naval architecture of the
British admiralty, which position he now
holds. Sir Nathaniel Burnaby has not been,
and is in no way connected wi h he designs
or con struction of these vessels, which are in
the hands OF board of our naval officers"

Ready 70 XIII Crook.

TOMBSTONE, April 1.-Gen. Forsythe,
commanding officer at Fort Huachuca, who
arrived here to-day, made known the
startling facts that first interview which
Gen. Crook had with the hostiles Thursday
last Geronimo had band of his men with
rifles ready to fire upon all white men, in
Guiding Crook, at gun signal. Geronimo's
failure to keep his promise of surrender at
Fort Bowie is ascribed to the fact that, hay-
ing SO much blood to answer for, he could
expect no clemency, and therefore pre-
ferred life in the mountains TO prospect of
hanging at the hands of the authorities.
The hostiles had 200 rounds of ammunition
each. Gen. FOrsythe said twas impossible
10 fathom GerOnimO's intentions and that it
is an open question whether he will go
south to join Mangus or remain to harasS
the frontier. Geronimo is a man about 81
years of age, crafty, treacherous and mer-
CHESS. This is the third time he has proved
faithless.

A Handy Blue PENCIL.

CINCINNATI, April 1.-The senatorial
investigating committee sent here TO investi-
gate the charges of fraud in the election of
four state senators from this county at the

amined witnesses in regard to the Suns

date for county treasurer, and given them

mans name and Boedger's name substitu-

alter DoIph.
WASHINGTON, April lin the course
of his speech in the senate on the bill to
admit Washington Territory to the union
MIR. Dolph, speaking of woman suffrage,
said:
Mr.. President: There is another matter
which consider pertinent to this discussion,
and of too much Importance to be left en-
tirely unnoticed on this occasion. 1t Is some
thing new in our political history. 1t is full
of hope for the women of this country and
of the world, and full of promises for the fu-
ture OF Republican institutions. 1 refer to
the fact that in Washington Territory the
right of suffrage has been extended to wo-
men OF proper age. do not believe the pro-
position so often asserted that suf-
frage is political privilege only
and not natural right. It is
regulated by the constitution and laws of
state, grant, but it needs no argument, it
appears to me, TO show that a constitution
and laws adopted and enacted by fragment
OF the whole body OF the people, but binding
alike on all, Is a usurpation of the powers of
government. 1t is essential to every gov ern-
ment that IL should represent the supreme
power of the state and be capable of subject
ing the will OF Its individual citizens TO its
order. Such a government can only derive
its just powers from the consent OF the gov
erned and can be established only under q
fundamental law which is self-imposed. The
lamented Lincoln immortaliZed the express
sion that ours Is a government .'of the peo-
pie. by the people, and for the people," and
yet IL is far from that. There can be no
government by the people wherein half
of them are allowed no voice in
its organization and control. / regard
the struggle going on in this country and
elsewhere for the enfranchisement of women
as but continuation OF the great struggle
for human liberty, which has from the earli-
est dawn OF authentic history convulsed ma
tons, rent Kingdoms and drenched battle
fields with huma n blood. / look upon the
victories which have been achieved in the
cause of women enfranchisement in WASH
ington Territory and elsewhere as the crown
ing victories OF all which have been won in
the long-continued, still-continuinR contest
between liberty and oppression, and as des-
tined TO exert q greater influence upon the
human race than achieved upon the battle

SAM smALA,s FAREWELL.
A Touching Reference TO His work
i'm Chicago.

IN CnACaROs
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, April 1.-AIr. Small began the
personal preclude to his sermon by reading
verses S, and OF the first chapter
of PHILIPPIANS. He said: 1t is
feeling akin to sadness that is in my heart
to-day. l am sorry our meetings must end,
because they have been seasons of joy to
my soul. Here, those / met as strangers
have become brothers through Christ.
My full heart of thanks goes
for the sympathy 1 have had from you
in doing Gods work. As journey the
photograph of my memory will turn back
to the season at Chicago. In my
book of hearts are many names
which l shall remember as long
as God lets me live. Mr.. Small then took
for text Philippians, l., %, and saidi
need of a soul salvation. My grief IS
that hundreds have not procured this
salvation. Would that had the eloquence
to plead with you as dying men to seek
God. One thing that should send chill
through each soul is that it Is
neglecting the means that will
keep it from the objectionable
sin. Let us not forget these heated dis.
cuSSiOnS which have set many in the LAND
to thinking and talking about promises and
judgments, and things to come. Let US
not only keep ourselves unspotted, but
transmit the faith to our children. Let US
look to it that society rests solidly on
THE FOUR PILLARS
of truth, virtue. intelligence and honor.
Let us not become pa rtakers in other me g
sins. Let us mark these vices which lead
to ruin for our emnity, and fight
TO the bitter end. Let us permit no great
evil to grow or stand in Chicago with our
approval. Applause Here the speaker
entered on general charge against the
liquor and saloon forces and branded the
managers as unconvicted highway robbers.
He also dwelt elOquently on the pes
thence that walketh about Chi
cago in darkness and on the
gilded highways at MONDAY. Let
u.s." said he, ''come up to the altar Of God
and say we will fight it forever" APP
plause. The Justice of Chicago needs to
be watched [applausel, not by loading 1t
with the products of the burglars kit, but
watched in another way, not by filming
friendless man SIS and by filming hundred
gamblers 81 each. These things ought to
awaken as with trumpet every
right man in Chicago. High
tributes were paid to the
Young Mems Christian association of Chi
cago. The speaker concluded: Take care
Of the souls and hearts and honesty
of the people and all other thing
will be added to you. These
things are all spoken to you in love, and lei
us go to God for his approval. Mr.. John V.
Farwell was asked to close the meeting with
prayer for the future of the evangelistS.

A New Hampshire Town Flooded.

LANCASTER, n. H., April This
morning the ice in Israels river formed a
big jam below the Mechanic street bridge
aud caused the river to be partially turned
srom its course. One-half the stream ran
down Mechanic street, carrying huge cakes
of ice with it and all the houses In that Sec
ton were flooded. The Stewart house, a
small hotel, was flooded, but the occupants
were rescued from the second story. Dyna-
mite is being used to brrak the jam with
little success, aud 1t is feared that the jam
which has formed six miles further up the
river will break and the flood caused thereby
will destroy all the buildings on Mechanic
street.

QUoQUE, April 1.-The storm ragged
with terrific violence off here last night, the
wind blowing a hurricane from the south
vast. The steamer Europa was driven
from the outer bar. where she grounded, to
the main beach, and now lies hard on in
about eight feet of water. Immense
waves broke over her last night. and it
was impossible for any vessel to approach
her. No one has been able to get aboard
of the vessel since the offices and crew
were taken off yesterday. She is thought
to be full of water. but is in a favorable
position for hauling off when the storm
shall have ceased and the tide is high.

LABOR ARBITRATION.
The House Continues Its Discussion
of the O'Neill Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The house
went into committee of the whole on the
labor arbitration bill, general debate to be
closed at o'clock. Mr.. Gibson of West
Virginia contended the bill would accom-
plish nothing. and he advocated the passage
OF an Interstate commerce bill with com
pulsory provision requiring the commits
sl0ners appointed under it to take hold of
all cOntrOI ersies arising between capital
and labor and settle them in the interest of
the public and in behalf of the country.
lie would at the proper time move that the
Dill be recommitted for careful consider
alton. Mr.. Grain of Texas argued in sup
port or the bilPS cOnstitutionality. Mr..
Worthlngton OF Illinois said the bill was
legislative nOndescript, which bore on its
face an apology for its own existence. Mr..
Tarsney of Michigan defended the bill
on the ground that it appealed
to the highest arbiter-public opinion and
public Judgment. Mr.. Anderson of Kansas
believed the great question to be solved was
the protection of the people during the
great struggle between capital and labor.
This bill, he said, was purely a temporary
measure. Mr.. Warner of Missouri thought
The measure sensible and conservative.
Mr. Osborne of Pennsylvania gave the bill
his
CORDIAL SUPPORT,
as did Messrs. Long of Massachusetts,
Bound of Pennsylvania, and Cannon of II
linoiS. Mr.. O'Neill Of Missouri closed the
debate. He said every compulsory law
placed upon the statute books of any county
had proven failure. Public opinion be-
hind a measure was powerful. The bill
was then read by sections for amendment.
MIR. Hammond said the bill was one to pre-
vent strikes in the interest of the corpora
tons. Mr.. Kelley OF Pennsylvania said by his
remarks yesterday lie did not mean that
the gentlemen on the committee of labor
had deliberately perpetrated a trick and
fraud. They were quite TOO innocent to
deliberately attempt a fraud or trick.
Laughter. Mr.. Powderly had done more
to advance the principle of arbitration
than all the frothy eloquence that he CKel-
lOgg) and his associates had uttered yester-
day and to-day. Mr.. Powderly's paper had
been read and considered by the heads of
departments, and they had said: IF this
is the spirit of workingmen we must re-
gard it" He apOlogized to the committee
on labor for his remarks. The committee
then rose, and Mr.. O'Neill moved that all
debate on the first section be limited to one
minute. Pending vote on the motion
the house adjourned.
