trouble resulted from the adoption of
this course. they were prepared to

to the existing laws of the United

After discussion progressed in this
strain for an hour the treaty was re-
ferred to the committee ON foreign re-
lations.
THE SEALING MATTER.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The meet
ing of the cabinet today was devoted
almost entirely to the consideration of
the Behring Sen question with a view
to deciding on a plan of action in case
Great Britain adheres to her refusal to
renew for the present season the pend
Ing arbitration on the modus vivendi
of last year. The matter was thorough
ly discussed, and it is understood it
was determined to insist upon the
renewal of the modus vivendi for the
preservation of seals in Behring Sea.

LOUISIANA POLITICS.
WASHINGTON, March 8--Postmas-
ter Eaton of New Orleans has taken
alarm at the prospect of shaking up
by the civil service commission, and
is here trying to get things straight
ened out, but without much prospect
of success. Commenting on the GIN
eral political situation there he said
our Republican troubles are likely to
work out their own solution and we
will have something like harmony or
reconciliation before election day
comes around.
About the Democracy? 1 think
Louisiana favors Cleveland.
Speaking of the lottery, he quoted
a copy of notices recently posted in
dicating the determination of the lot
terry to respect the law, and said he
thought that this notice was honest
and sincere and the company means
just wha' it says. The denial of the
use of the mails was fatal blow to
the lottery company, from which it
cannot recover. 1t took the United
States government to beat them. No
other power was sufficient.

WASHINGTON, March S,-Since the
above was written it is learned that
Acting Secretary Wharton delivered
to the British minister this afternoon

THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The Sen.

1t soon became apparent the treaty
was to receive severe and formidable
opposition. The opposition took
several forms and there are al
least three different views on tn,
subject. On one hand body of sena
tors resented bitterly the idea of rati
flying any arbitration treaty. They
held the right of the United States tt

MccUH's VICTIM DEAD.
The Pittston Desperate Is Now Double
Murderer.

PHILADELPHIA, March 26.-James A.
Bloomer, the overseer in the Eastern
penitentiary who was murderously as
saulted by Convict John McCue on Tues
day, died late yesterday afternoon at
the University hospital. The direct
cause of death was heart clot, or clot-
ting of the veins that had been severed.
When McCue sunk his murderous knife
in the overseer's breast, just below the
point of the shoulder, he gave the blade
twist, and this caused an ugly Jagged
cut two inches long, cutting several of
the larger veins and producing profuse
bleeding.
John McCue, the murderer, is native
of Pittston, and followed the career of a
noted ruifian up to May 3, 1888, when
he shot and killed Thomas Brennan,
one of a party of tramps with whom he
was associated, near Berwick, on the
line of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad. A plea of self de-
fense saved him from capital punish.
ment, and he was sentenced to ten years
for murder in the second degree. Since
he was brought to the penitentiary he has
been constantly violent and incorriglble.
The secrecy thrown about the case
was due to the instructions of Warden
Cassidy to the injured men and other
attaches of the prison to keep quiet. A
meeting of the inspectors was held on
Monday and they also kept quiet. 1t
was not until Sergeant Shilling of the
Ninth police district, reported the case
to the department of public safety that
anything became known about it.

TERRORS OF THE SEA
Fearful Sufferings Of an American
Schconer's Crew.
MADE DELIRIOUS BY HUNGER.

For Days without Food, Buffeted
by Wind and Wave, the Men Were
Driven to the Verge of Despera-
tion-A Friendly Sail Saved Them
{ from Cannibalism.
NEW York, March 90.
T A thrilling story of hardship, peril and
starvation rarely equaled in the adven-
turous life of storm beaten seamen is
that told by Captain McRitchie, of the
American schooner Winnie Lawry,
which has just arrived here from Hayti.
The Winnie Lawry left st. Marc,
Hayti, Jan. 8, with a cargo of logwood
for New York. She carried a crew OF
seven men-Russian Fins. A northwest
gale struck the vessel shortly after pass
ing Mole st. Nicholas. In eight days
the schooner had reached Hatteras. She
was here struck by hurricane and
blown back to Bermuda. After n num-
Der of days the vessel succeeded in
crawling back to the Gulf Stream,
where she was again struck by fierce
gale and blown out to sea.
Provisions began to run short, and
finally gave out altogether while the
battle was at its height. just then the
steamer Johannes Brun, bound for New
York, came along and gave supply to
the Lawry. The crew had been four
days without provisions. The schooner
then tried to reach Hampton Roads, bnt
was again blown out to sea. 1t was a
long and hard fight against wind and
seas in beating back to the coast. Food
ran short again, and finally gave out
completely.
Delirious from Hunger.
Starvation faced the crew, but the
men had to work necessarily to keep the
vessel aAOat. Day after day passed, and
the crew were gaunt and famished rs
they scanned the horizon for the sight
Of some vessel to give them food The
men were becoming weak from hunger,
and We're on the verge of insanity.
There was q small dog on board. The
men took the animal, cut its throat and
Skinned it. They cooked and ate il, but
ii was so small that instead of satisfy
ing their hunger it only intensified it.
Some of the men We're delirious, and
one of them finally proposed that one
man should die in order to preserve the
lives of the others. They were desper-
ate and walked the deck with wild
glare in their eyes The captain feared
amurder would be committed and armed
himself just then the lookout cried
"Sail ho!' and the schooner Andrew Ad-
ans, bound to Fortress Monroe from
Dcmerara, have in sight.
The Adams put quantity of food
aboard the Lawry, and her crew began
the battle anew. But their trials were
not ended yet for the vessel was blown
up to Nova Scotia by hurricane and
again ran out of provisions, which were
supplied by the steamer Jersey. The
schooner finally made her way to Tar
paulin cove, and thence to New York.
