considerably during Saturday night, but
the thermometer was at the freezing point
nearly ali day, keeping 1t hard and solid.
An immense crowd was on the lake at
every hour OF the dsv, and seemed 10 be
perfectly happy and delighted as they

the frozen surface. The feature OF the
day were games of handy played by boys
who formed themselves in psrties, and
thoroughly enjoyed the exhllaraiing and
healthful exercise. Another source o:
Immense amusement was the presence OF

the North, who exhibited great skill and
caused considerable fun by running races
with a fine Newfoundland dog which ac.
companied him ,iand which seemed TO un.
dersiand what was required OF him, and
10 enjoy himself as much as anybody.
No accident occurred except that dur

an air hole near the centre Of the pond
and went into the water De was
promptly pulled out, and fortunately
received no damage beyond ducking.
Mr.. William Krause, who has the re-
freshmeni privileges at the Park, did o

originating from a defective hue on the

40 Fifth Avenue, occupied by Wiling &

Improyemept of the Streets,

A city official, whose duty II is to know
says that the appropriation to the I'm
provement of the streets OF the city Vl
Richmond as compared with similar ap
preparations in other cities are simply
ridiculous. He alluded TO the fact that
while the city has rapidly grown in size
population, and wealth during the
past ten years, the appropriations
have not increased in the same ratio, 50
that at present the needs of the depart
ment greatly exceed what is allowed it
There is no doubt but that the city has
been made beautiful with little money
aud il is the intention Of the Street Com
mittee TO try and get larger fund appro-
priatons from the Council.
Colonel Cutshaw and MIR. Crenshaw
chairman of the Street Committee, have
been appointed to report TO the commit
tee AT its next meeting where improve
ments and expenditures must be made.

TELEGRAPHIC TICKS.
LATEST EVg.yTy OF INTEREST At
HOME AND ABROAD
Work to be Done by Congress this Week.
Meeting Yesterday In Defense Of tho
Reading Strikers The Proposed Extra
dition Treaty with Russia.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 29.-So
little is being accomplished in the way OF
general legislation by Congress that mem
bers are beginning TO comment upon II,
In the Senate men have allowed pol
itics, law, and private business call them
from their legislative duties much OF the
time, while In the House everybody
seems to await tho tariff bill, tho intro
duction of which is promised some tine
during the present week
For the first time in many years the
House has adjourned over business
days in the carly part OF the session,
and a number OF times tho Senate has
adjourned from Thursday until Monday.
There seems 10 be a disposition all
around TO put as little business on the
calendars as possible, and TO only taae
up measures when nothing else can be
found 20 consume time.
The Senate has already given about
three weeks 10 the consideration OF the
Blair Education bill. a week ago ii was
promised that only few days would
elapse before IL would be finally dis osed
of, but the prospects are that the end OF
the present week and even another seven
days may elapse and find it az the head OF
the calendar as unfinished business.
Chairman Davis OF the Committee on
Pensions says he intends 10 call I'D dur
ing the week the bill introduced by Mr.
Manderson and known as the U. y. X.
Pension bill II is much the same bill
that the president vetoed during the last
Congress and is referred 10 az the "De'
pendent pension bill" 0lessrs. Davis
and Manderson are prepared to make
speeches in support Of t Q measure in
which they are expected TO attack the
attitude OF the Administration on pension
matters In general and the vetoes OF the
President In particular. Mr.. VOORHEES,
is expected 10 defend the Administration
and the debate may be animated and con
sumo several days before 1t is finally
finished.
The Committee on elections will report
the Lowry-W White contested election case
from the Twelfth district Of Indiana,
which declares Mr.. White not elegible on
account Of his inability to prove by record
evidence that he is q naturalized citizen,
and declares Lowry not elected TO the scat
because he did not receive majority OF
tho legal votes cast.

PROPOSED EXTRADITION TREATY.
A Strong Appeal to the sona'c for It's Re
lection.

WAsuIY6ToS, D. C.. January pa
plea for the rejection OF the proposed ex-
tradition treaty between the Russian and
the United States Governments has been
sent to Senator Joseph r. Hawley OF
Connecticut and Mr. p. 5. Heath, 81 news
paper correspondent OF this city, by Ser
gius NJ. Stcpniak, the Russian exile, Nihi.
list,and Revolutionist, now located in Lon.
don, and whom these gentlemen met in
Russia last summer.
S,epniak makes special request that
the matter be laid before tho Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, and 1t Is
considered one Of the strongest, II not the
mos. violent, arguments that could be
made against the alliance between this
and the Russian Government. Stepniak,
who is noted author, lays down as his
text that It should be the rule with all
civilized nations that nobody eau be
condemned without being heard In his
own defense, and that the protested ex
tradition treaty with the Russian
Government, ratified by the American
Senate, will be a wholesale condemnation
to capital punishment Of any number OF
Russian patriotic people, designated as
Nihiisls, who may seek refuge from the
despotism of the Car. He compares the
Nihilis,ic party to the Russian with the
Irish Nihilists or Home Rulers. The
Russians want 10 overthrow the Cars
dcspotism, TO break tho yoke OF the
autocrat!c bureaucracy, and 10 establish
a national representative assembly or a
government By the people.
Many citations from history and news.
paper accounts, and the official reports
of Russian officials arc made, showing
that the political offenders which this
treaty is intended to take from tic United
States 10 the parent country are tried
before military courts without having
either counsel or Witness, aud that there
are determinations In trials and punish
ment Of the most cruel order against peO-
pie who take issue with the present form
Of Government, over those who cannot
murder and crimes Of the baser sort that
while the murderer Is given jury trial,
tie man who advocates the education or
a change iD the form of government Is
tried before court martial and denied
all the lights of counsel, witnesses, etc.

THE READING STRIKE.
Bis Meeting In Defense Of the Strike


BALTIMORE, January 20.-A largo and
enthuaastic meet ng of working men was
held at the Front-street Theatre this
afternoon in aid of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad and coal strikers.
Jerome Murphy Of Baltimore, presided.
4 number Of addresses were made in
defense Of the action Of the strikers.
Among these was vigorous one by
Mr.. Davis, who said the strike on the
Reading railroad and in the coal fields
was premedtated by the company. The
ruinous policy Of Franklin B. Gowan was
the cause Of throwing the road into the
hands of receivers, and TO restore It to
the company. Mr. Cogb!n, upon becom
ing president inaugurated an extreme
economy. Mr.. Mcleod was appointed
general manager. He began the clearing
out process Instantly. In the machine
shops, where a force Of sixty men was en-
ployed, 1t was reduced 10 thirty-fiye, and
they had TO do the work formerly done
by sixty. The train hands suffered like
wise. Crews Of five were reduced TO
three, and twenty cars added to them.
He alluded to the contract between the
Reading Company and the miners, and
stated the reasons why the contract was
not executed for Il longer period than
four months, and combalted the construc-
tion which President Corbin placed upon
il. He said that when the contract was
being negotiated last September the
miners insisted that 1t be for six months.
The company asserted that It's property
would be out OF the receivers hands be-
fore Januaay lst, and that contract en-
tered into with the receivers would not
hold good after that date. Hence they re-
Quested that the contract be limited TO
January /, which was agreed to by the
miners. The contract as executed does not
bind the miners 10 return 10 the old
wages of the 81 30 basis after January
Surely" said the speaker, there is
nothing in that which makes 1t obliga'
tory upon Us - return 10 the old wages.
The contract simply expired January /,
and the miners had the right 20 demand
that new contract be made and that the
wages in excess of the $3.50 basis should
continue at per cent"
Davis claimed that President Corbin
In his first statement made base and
glaring attempt 10 deceive the public as
TO the provisions Of the contract IN quot
Ing II.
The speech was continued In the same
strain at considerable length, and 3. its
conclusion the meeting adjourned.

ABURSTED WATER PIPE.
Mir. L. Leslie Spence Narrowly Escapes
Serious Loss.


Last evening, about o'clock, II wa!
discovered that water pipe in the Ma
sonic building on Ninth street near Bank
had burstcd, and that the water was
pouring ont in a perfect food over the
entire house. The location OF this pipe
was Just above the store OF Mr.. &. Leslie
Spence. and il was feared that his place
of business would be inundated and his
goods would be seriously damaged before
a kew could be obtained with which 10
turn of The water from the sheets.
A police officer on duty at the corner
of Ninth and Main streets was notified,
and he made haste 10 do everything TO
prevent al the damsge possible. No key
could be found in the building, so one
had TO be borrowed from house near
by, and the flow Of water was stopped.
As it had been pouring out for fully ten
minutes, however, 1t was impossible to
ascertain what damage Mr.. Spence had
suffered, as his store was locked and he
absent.
He was at once notified, and was at
church when he heard the news. lie at
once came down town, and on opening
MS store found the place Hooded, but
luckily the water had flown down the
middle of the room and had avoided al
his goods. The carpet was completely
soaked, and this is what saved the goods,
since II absoi bed the water like q sponge
and prevented 1t from spreading. Had
there been no carpet on the floor Mr..
Spence would have been nearly ruined.
AS 1t Is, he says his damage Is nothing.
1t was truly most narrow escape from
serious loss.
