Much Indignation Felt Over the Autopsy
 Upon Little James Sheebe.
 ELIzADETH, N. J., Oct. 13.-The phy- sicians at the Elizabeth Hospital and the County Physician, who ordered the au- topsy on the body of little James Steebe, the supposed hydrophobia patient who died at the hospital, have laid them selves open to grave censure.
 When Undertaken Michael Burning, who had been engaged by the boys father to get the body and bring it home, sent his assistants to the hospital they found the remains still lying on the dis secting table, the body cut open from the throat to the waist, back and front, and the intestines scattered.
 No attempt had been made to restore the condition it was in before the au- topsy.
 The hospital surgeons said it was none of their funeral, as the County Physician had taken the matter entirely out of the hospitals hands when he ordered the autopsy.
 There is great indignation at Elizabeth port over the matter, and the people are loud in their condemnation of the doctors and surgeons concerned.
 It is now thought that young Steebe did not die of hydrophobia at all but, ot spinal meningitis.

FAITHLESS OFFICERS
Gov. Pattison Demands That
 They Be Removed.
HE ISSUES A PROCLAMATION.
Many Philadelphia Magistrates and Con-
 stables Alleged to Be Dishonsst

Said to Have Paid Money to Bardsley,
 the Late Treasurer, to Influence His
 Action n-- A Conspiracy to Cheat the
 Comm on wealth In the Collection of De-
 1inquent License Taxes The Senate
 Convened to Investigate.
 HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 13.-Gov. Patti son issued another proclamation yester- day, asking the removal of certain magistrates and constables of Philadel- phia.
 The paper alleges that many of the magistrates of the courts, not of record of police and civil causes. in Philadel- phia have been faithless and dishonest in the performance of their official duties; that many of said magistrates, together with the constables attached to their courts have been part icipants in a con- spiracy to cheat the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in connection with the collection of delinquent mer- and county of Philadelphia, by which large sums of money have been lost to the Commonwealth; and that many of said magistrates and constables have been guilty of bribery by the payment of money to John Bardsley, late Treasurer of the city and county of Philadelphia, in order to influence the official action of the said John Bardsley and others for the purpose of obtaining control and jurisdiction of the suits against delin- quent dealers in Philadelphia.
 It is alleged and believed that the sum of $35O was paid by each magistrate be- fore whom the suits were brought in the year 1889, and that in the year 1890 to the said John Bardsley, for the personal use and private gain of himself and others.
 The document further alleges that in the year 1889 the sum of $31, ,811. S5 was paid to Israel w. Durham, Horatio P. Hackett. William H. Lisle, James F. Neall, Johnson Roney, Benton o. Severn, Robert w Smith, Thomas w. South and John T. Thompson, magistrates of Phila- delphia, as magistrates and constabl es, in suits against delinquent dealers in Philadelphia, from which suits no collec- tions whatever were made for the use of the Commonwealth.
 In the year 1890 the sum of S31, 1894 20 was paid to William B. Ahern, Israel w. Durham, Horatio B. Hackett, James F. Neal, Ambrose P. Pullinger, Thomas Randall, Johnson Roney, Robert R. Smith and Thomas w. South, magis- trates of Philadelphia, as magistrates and constables' costs in suits aga inst de- linquent dealers in Philadelphia, from which suits noScollections whatever were made for the use of the Commonwealth. The Governor convenes the Senate to | meet for the purpose of considering | whether reasonable cause exists for the removal of any of the magistrates and | constables of Philadelphia. .f

RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY.
A Proposed Treaty That Wilt Secure
 Special Rate for Ameris n Cereals.

WASHINGTON, Oct 13.-The negotia- tions have been completed in regard to the proposed commercial treaty between the United States and Germany, but un- der the law they cannot go into effect until January 1, 1892. The proviso un- der which President Harrison has been acting is contained in the Tariff Act of 1890, Section B, Schedule N.
 Under this section the President, about Jan. 1, can impose the duty on German beet sugar, which finds an extensive market here. Germany has been es- pecially anxious to make treaty, since one has been made with Spain, to allow Cuban sugars and other products to come in.
 Up to Jan. 1, the United States can do nothing in the matter, but Germany at once saw it's advantage in making 8 treaty now, so that it can go into effect on the first of the year Count Won Mumm began negotiations with the State Department, and through Secretary Rusk and Gen. J. M. Foster, acting for the State Department, the treaty has been brought to successful completion. It was signed last month at Saratoga, when General Foster and Count Won Mumm paid an unexpected and hurried visit to that place when President Har- rison was there as the guest of MT. Ar kell.
 One proviso in the treaty, which has prevented the publication of the treaty, and which will perhaps delay the pro- mitigation of the full contents, is that Germany claims the right to first an l nounce the signing and promulgation of | the treaty. At present German beet sugar comes into the country free under the new tariff law, and nothing can pre- vent. it until January 1, when the President is given the power to shut it | off, on the ground that Germany i'm | posed duties on agricultural and other | products of the United States, which, in view of free introduction of such sugar, etc., into the United States, he deems 1 to be reciprocally unequal and unreason- | able
 The treaty will not allow the free en- | try of American cereals, because to do that would give America a monopoly, and, besides, Germany could not dis criminate against other countries and make the United States a most favored | nation.
 What the treaty will accomplish, how ever, is the securing of 8 special rate fol American cereals-hour, rye, etc.
