HE CAN'T BE PRESIDENT.

Phil Sheridan a Native of the Land of the
Shamrock.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 15.-L. McCabe of this
city is cousin of General Phil Sheridan.
The general has on several occasions been
a visitor at Mr.. McCabe's home. The latter
was asked to-day for facts concerning his
illustrious cousin. Mr.. McCabe, who is a
shoemaker and appears to be about 60
years of age, said that the general was his
cousin and visited him every time he came
to Milwaukee. "Would you like to see him
elected president?' asked the reporter.
"Why not, if it could be?" he answered.
When asked the reason for this statement
Mr.. McCabe replied: "Phil Sheridan was
not born in this country. The house in
which he was born is not stones thrown
from my early home and was born in
Ireland.''

against Jay Gould and Russell Sage made
on behalf OF the stockholders of the Kan
sas Pacific railroad company of appropri-

drews, who presented the case on behalf of

secreting, the same demand and the same
Withholding Of embezzled property that
ensues in an ordinary case where all EN-
ploye takes what is entrusted to him by an

THE FISHERIES.
THE TREATY COMPLETED.

THE TREATY COMPLETED.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-After the daily
sessions for the last two weeks, the fisher
les commissioners at o'clock tonight
completed their labor and signed treaty
which it is believed will result in salts
factory settlement of the disputes that
have existed for almost a century between
this government and Great Britain over
the north Atlantic fisheries. The treaty is
signed by all six Of the commissioners and
is said to have their full concurrence. 1t
will be sent to the president tomorrow for
transmittal to the senate. Before the treaty
can take effect it must have ratification
of the queen of Great Britain, the dominion
of Canada and the province of Newfound-
land, as we'll as of the senate of the United
States. Although the treaty will not at
present be made public, it can be stated
that it relates exclusively to disputes con
corning the fisheries of the north Atlantic
coast and does not include any provisions
concerning the Behring sea trouble or COM
mercial reciprocity. The treaty, it may
also be added, does not contemplate the
admission of fish into the United States
free of duty. Secretary Bayard said to-
night that he could not, because of his Of
fetal position, make known the contents
of the treaty, but that it was his earnest
wish that it should be given to the press
by those having the right to make such
disposition of it and that every line of it
should be published. The dispute, he said,
had been one of long standing and had
come to him by inheritance when he as
sumed the duties Of secretary of state. He
had used his best endeavors to reach
satisfactory agreement with the govern
ment of Great Britain and believed that he
had succeeded as far as it lay in his power
to effect a settlement.

SOMETHING OF THE TREATY.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The fisheries
treaty which was signed last evening was
the subject of much speculation and dis
cussion at the capitol to-day. While de-
clining to give any specific information as
to its provisions, Secretary Bayard tonight
said that for many years the great conten-
tions among American fishermen had been
for fair and Just construction Of the treaty
of 1878 and that the present treaty had
been framed by the American negotiators
with view to meet the needs and neces-

THE UNION PACIFIC.
Its President Says the Cultivate Bill
Should be Amended.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Charles Francis
Adams, president of the Union Pacific
railroad company, appeared before the
house committee on Pacific railroads to-
day and explained the attitude of that
company towards the funding bills pend
ing before the committee. Generally he
favored the Cultivate bill with few
slight amendments intending to relieve the
restricting features. "If you will give us
a chance,' said Mr.. Adams, 1--WE are will
ing and able to pay the government and it
adjusted that we can pay it,

bill to promote the political progress and
commercial prosperity of the American

stitutional lawyer on the constitutional
objection to the bill was read by Mr.. Nor
gan. Mr. Salisbury spoke against the bill.
The debate was closed by Mr.. Blair in a
final argument in advocacy of the bill. All
through the north, God only knew under
what influences, the newspapers had
opposed the bill and had argued that such
aid to common schools was no longer
needed. Why was this? 1t was because
there was on the staff Of every great news
paper in the couiltry to-day Jesuit whose
business it was to see that blow was
struck whenever there was an opportunity
to strike it at the common school system
Of America. The senate then proceeded to
vote on the bill and amendments. Mr..
Plumb offered an amendment providing
that the money should be annually divided
among the several states and territories
and the District of Columbia in proportion
to their population between the ages of 10
and 81 as shown by the census. Rejected

CONGRESSIONAL.
The Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-In the senate the
following bills were reported from COM
mittees and placed on the calendar:
Giving to the city of Grand Forks, Oak,
the right to build two bridges across the
Red river.
Authorizing the construction of high
wagon bridge across the Missouri river at
or near Sioux City.
Among the bills introduced and referred
was one by Mr.. Sabin to authorize the
president to confer brevet rank on army
officers for brilliant services in Indian
campaigns.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Plumb
some weeks ago directing an inquiry as to
the causes of inefficient mail service was
taken up and agreed to.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Manderson
several days ago requiring the secretary of
war to furnish to senators on their re-
qnests list of persons to whom copies of
the record of the rebellion are to be issued
was taken up and discussed. Mr.. Mander-
son said his own mail and mails of other
senators were inundated with requests for
documents, among them the records of the
rebellion. There were no copies of that
document within his gift and never had
been, the whole issue of that valuable
publication having been monopolized by
the members of the forty-seventh congress.
Mr.. Cullom remarked that he was having
the same experience. Mr.. Vest said that
every day and every hour since the dis
cussion last week had confirmed him in
the belief as to the unquestionable waste
of public money in the way of printing
documents. He did not want the public
money thrown away on trash. The reso-
luton was finally adopted.
One hundred and eight private pension
bills were passed and after an executive
session the senate ad djourned until Monday.

COMMUNICATED

An old citizen of Yuma recently
took up his bed and wendell his way
towards the rising sun, in search of
some sequesLred spot where wealth,
health, and happiness could be oil
tanned. He landed at Aqua Cal
iente in high spirits and hopes, with
the visions of the great stores of his
future success wildly impressed upon
his mind, After spending few days
in that region awaiting the actions of
Dame fortune he concluded by way of
parenthesis to permanently establish
himself there and began to make pr
paration for furnishing his habitation
and replenishing his larder After duly
considering his location, wishes and
wants, he seats himself to make out
bill thereof and forwards the same to
his friend A. Tyner at Yuma, to wit:
"Please send me a sack of neal. five
gallons of whisky and looking glass.

Attempted Escape.

-FOUR years ago W1lllam fOrIer
of Ash Fork, Yavapai county, was
convicted of attempting to murder
his wife; he was sentenced to four
teen years Imprisonment in the Ter
ritorial Prison. He proved to be a
well-behaved and industrious pris-
oner. Porter is a good baker and
was consequently given charge OF
the bakery, and three times week
he was not locked up until about
eight o'clock at night, as his pres
ence was needed in the bake shop
to prepare the dough for the next
days bread. On Tuesday night the
guard whose duty it was to lock
Porter up forgot to do SO, and some
time during the night he waited I'M
til the coast was clear, scaled the
wall, and in a few moments was
free man., But the desperate con-
vict was not satisfied; he then broke
into station belonging to the day
guards, secured a suit of clothes and
"a hat and away he went.
At seven o'clock the next morn
ing when the prisoners were counted
Porter's absence was discovered and
also the fact that he had not been
locked up. Assistant Superinten-
dent Frank Hartlee and two Indians
Immediately began a search for his
trail and in little while Superin-
tendent John HI. Behan, James
Powell and two Indians were on
the road. Overtaking Capt. Hartlee;
Behan and party then took up
the trail and Mr.. Hartlee returned
to the prison. Guard Fredley was
sent to ella City by the passenger
train, to prevent Porter passing that
place.
After hot ride of several hours
through the arrow weed and mesquite
of the ella bottom, the party dismount-
I'd as it was impossible to ride through
the brush. Suddenly Porter appeared
in sight. Behan called to him to sur
render but the desperate man replied
with a shot from his Winchester rife
and then made break into the thick
arrow weed. Behan fired at him with
out effect. In little while Johnny
Behan and his party were in sight of
the hunted convict, who tried to fire
his rifle again but without success; the
gun would not work, and in few
moments more he was a prisoner.
He was captured in the Colorado
bottom about eight miles from town.
A bout six o'clock in the evening the
tired men returned and Porter was
again con'ignod to the safety of his |
little cell.
Johnny Behan although seriously i'll
did not waste any time in going after
the missing prisoner; he had a good
second in Jim Powell, who is man of
courage and GOODNESS. The
Indian trailers were frst-class and Mr. |
Behan says that they are afraid of
