Be Proclaimed Next Month.

Be Proclaimed Next Month.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-An important
reciprocity treaty, under the terms of
the Mckinley law, has been concluded
with the republic of San Domingo,

special commissioner of the United
States. The terms of the treaty are
similar to those in connection with
Brazil.

both countries at an early date next
month. The Cuban reciprocity treaty
with Spain will also be proclaimed
about the same time.
CAPE MAY, N. j., July 29.-General
John w. Foster left here this morning
for Washington. During his stay he
was the guest of the president, and was
busy the entire time conferring regard
ing the reciprocity treaties being nego-
tiated with various countries. No con-
frmation or denial OF the reported
signing of reciprocity agreement be-
tween the United States and San Do
mingo, June 4th, could be obtained
here. The president when approached

Information must come from the state

Length and Breadth of London.

The metropolitan area of London ex-
tends over some twelve miles from north
to south. and some seventeen miles from
east to west; within this space thirty
nine governments so rule the houses,
roads, drains of their three millions and
quarters of subjects that for the
last ten years the death rate has been
only 22i per 1000, or but per 1000 in
excess of that of the whole country. In
the seventeenth century it is believed
that the deaths exceeded the births in
London, and the death rate was then
about 40 per 1000, or more than double
what it is now, and higher by far than
the mortality rates of the unhealthiest
cities Of Europe today. London Tit-Bits.

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
The Man Who Pulled Generrl Beavers
Nose Pardoned. ...--i--.-,.

Nose PardOn6d.
CAPE MAY, N. j., July 29.-The presi-
dent this morning acted upon several
pardon cases, one of which was that of
Captain George j. Armes. The occur
renee which led to the trial by court
martial of Armes created considerable
comment at the time. Armes, at the
time OF the Inauguration of President
Harrison, was retired army officer,
living in Washington. On Inauguration
day Armes received fancied grievance
from some Pennsylvania officials. A few
evenings afterwards he met Gov. Beaver,
of Pennsylvania, in the lobby of a
hotel, and publicly insulted him, even
going SO far as to pull his nose. Captain
Armes was tried by court-martial for
conduct unbecoming to an officer and
gentleman, found guilty and sentenced
to dismissal from the army. The presi-
dent subsequently commuted his SEN
tence, and ordered that Armes be re-
stricted within the limit of fifty miles of
the District of Columbia for three years.
Upon the recommendation of the secre-
tary Of war, the president has now COM
muted this sentence, and Armes in the
future can go where he pleases.

An unusual incident occurred in JUS
tice Owens's court, yesterday morning,
in the case Kearney vs.. Kienzle.
Rev. Charles Kienzle, the defendant,
who is pastor of the Church of the
Epiphany, in East Los Angeles, re-
Gently had judgment rendered against
him for $50, for rent claimed
by plaintiff, who is widow,
and regarding it as an unjust and extor-
tionate obligation, he refused to pay.
The plaintiffs attorney then went in
search of something to satisfy the judg-
ment, and the reverend debtor was
brought into court for examination as to
his effects, Messrs. r. j. Adcock and
W. A.. Ryan appearing for the defend
ant. The defendant took the stand, the
clerical pockets were turned inside out,
but the searching examination failed to
bring to light anything of value. By
this time the crowd in the court room
was in good humor. The preacher
seemed to be judgment proof and every
body was happy. except the plaintiff.
just as the pastor was about to leave
the stand, the lynx-eyed lawyer caught
sight Of watch-guard, and promptly
asked the debtor if he had a
watch. He replied that he had
and very good one. The watch con-
tanned on the inside the picture OF Mr..
Kienzle's little child and the Judge ex-
pressed regret at being obliged to COM
pei the debtor tosurrender it. Counsel
for defendant argued that it was against
public policy to deprive preacher of
watch with which to limit his services,
during the heated term, and that it
might result in great fatality.
The court was inexorable and buzz
If sympathy went through the room as
the reverend gentleman quietly, but
with evident regret removed his watch
and guard and passed it over to his
honor to satisfy his creditors.
Had the reverend debtor been less
conscientious he would have taken" time
by the forelock" and left his watch at
home.
He has good reason TO say:
1.-THE time is out of joint cursed spite
That ever was born to set it right
The sympathy Of the bystanders was
with the pastor as the evidence showed
that he had given nearly all his salary
towards the building of his church.

WAsH1NaroN, July 29.-The national
Republican executive committee met
here this afternoon. OF the thirteen
members there we're present but seven
Chairman M. s. Quay, of Pennsylvania;
the vice-chairman, J. S. Clarkson, OF
Iowa; the secretary, J.. S. Fassett, of
New York; the treasurer, WV. Dudley
of Indiana; Samuel Fessenden, of Con-
necticutt; Garrett A. Hobart, of New
jersey, and ]. M. Haynes, of Maine.
The first business was the consideration
OF accounts growing out of the last cam
paign, submitted by Treasurer Dudley.
Colonel Scott, of Omaha, made speech
in favor of holding the next Republican
national convention in that city. Large
correspondence was also laid before
the committee. Many active poll
ticians in different parts of the
country had suggestions to make
and conclusions to draw from out of the
last congressional election. Some
pointed out the dangers Of the Alliance
movement in their states and submitted
ingenious plans to meet its threatened

referred to the Germans grievances
and cause of dissatisfaction among the
Republicans which might be overcome
by proper treatment.
Some discussion followed as to the
time and place of the meeting of the
full national Republican committee, and
it was finally decided to entrust the se-
lection of the place of meeting and the
exact date to Chairman Quay and Secre-
tary Fassett, with the proviso that the
meeting shall take place in November.
The time honored custom of allowing
six months notice if the meeting of
the nominating convention is to be
observed. This action is an indication
that the next national Republican con-
vention will be held not later than May
next. After electing w. ]. Campbell, of
Illinois, a member OF the committee, in
place of George Davis, of the same
state, who resigned from the committee
ON accepting the director-generalship of
the worlds fair, the committee took a
recess for two hours.
Every effort is being made by Chair
man Quay's fellow members to induce
him to refrain from presenting his resig-
nation. If he should persist, it would,
it is said, raise question as to the
authority of the executive committee to
act upon it, which it is considered de-
sirable to avoid at present, and several
members say they will ask that the
resignation lie on the table until the
next meeting.

An Armory AAre.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The Second regi-
ment armory, on the lake front, was
bandly damaged by fire this morning.
A large number of uniforms and arms
were entirely ruined by the fire and
water. The Hibernian Rifles and a
troop of the First cavalry also lose their
accoutrements. The losses will exceed
$25, 900. The firemen had a dangerous
fight, as the regimental powder maya
zine is in the building, but by the plen-
tiful use of water they succeeded in
keeping the fire away from it. Battery
