ALBRECHT's DILEMMA.
He Came Out With Flying Colors
and the Enemy Was Fooled.

Judge Mahoney had 10 act as arbitrator in
another family row yesterday. Frank AL
brect q corpulent German, was brought into
police court by officer Arnold. He was
charged with disorderly conduct, and Mrs
Margaret johnson, his neighbor, on Nine
tenth avenue north and First street. was
the complainant. A large portion Of the
female population of the neighborhood was
in court TO testify, some for Mr.. Albrecht and
others for Mrs. johnson. The latter swore
that Albrecht had acted disorderly about her
house, threatened to kick her darling little
popsy wopsy of boy, and nearly frightened
her out of her senses Her hubby Thomas
and several sharp featured females corrob-
grated this story, SO also did her boy who
stood cliuging TO his mothers skirts. and en-
deavoring in every way to dislocate his jaws
by showing q dirty little paw into his mouth
Matters looked fearfully black for poor AL
brecht. who sat listening to the dreadful evl-
dence that was being piled up against him
with an apopletc look in his face. He
took the stand and told his woeful story in
broken German.
"Ach du lieber Gott :" he calculated. dis

The judge fined Albrecht ST. but suspended
sentence, and then arraigned the mplain-
ant herself on charge of diSorderly conduct.
This was turning the tables in earnest, and,
of course, Mrs. johnson could not under
stand The philosophy of such reasoning. She
understood it great deal better, however
when the judge fined her IS, and made her
pay it.

RAUM ON THE STAND.
He Denies Using the Pension Blu
reau for Political PurpOses.

WASHINGTON, March 81. AT the be-
ginning of the pension office investiga-
ton today, Mr.. Enloe asked of Commits
sioner Raum question he has been
putting to the commissioner for several
meetings past namely: Where Mr..
Lineaweaver, one of Commissioner
Raum's confidential clerks, is, and
where has he been. The commissioner
responded today that Mr.. Lineaweaver
had returned to Washington. Mr.. Pay
son, Mr.. Raum's counsel, said it had
been by his advice the commissioner
had declined to disclose Mr.. Linea-
weaver movements, as publicity
might defeat the purpose of the trip.
which was perfectly justifiable and also
had no connection with the inve5tiga-
ton so far as it had gone. The matter
was passed over for the time.
The commissioner admitted that an
examiner named Sprosser was brought
to Washington TO observe the move
ments of man named Fleming, who
the commissioner thought was engaged
i'll an intrigue against him. The in
Quiry soon took q decidedly political
cast when Mr.. EnlOe asked if the bureau
was not used for political purposes.
In answer to numerous questions MIR.
Raum denied that pensions were more
freely granted in close congressional
districts or where votes were most
needed, claiming that 1t just happened
so in late years i'll Indiana and was not
matter of design, and finally referred
Mr.. Enloe to Gen. Black for farther In
formation.

it added to the free list, because it was
in the right direction. 1t increased the
free list and reduced the duties on
manufactured articles. Free wool would
mean less shoddy in our wooden cloths.
He hoped that this Democratic house
would pass bills putting coal, lumber,
iron ore and lin order to take his own
medlcine) steel rails and agricultural
implements on the free list. A protect
i've tariff paid premium on smuggling.
1t made by law crime what was not
crime. Naturally man had a right to
trade where he wished. A protective
tariff made natural law an artificial
crime.
= Mr.. Kyle. of Mississippi, also spoke
in favor of the bill, but dire cted his re-
marks especially towards portrayal of
the benefits which would accrue to the
Southern farmer from an abolition of
the duty OH cotton ties.
The debate today was without Incl
dent. 1t flowed into a calm, unimpas-
stoned stream. There was not an OBJ
stacle to disturb the onward course of
el0quence. Mefrlly the stream rippled
over the pebbles of discussion without
meeting a rock which would break it
into eddieS and rippleS.
The committee having risen. the house
took recess until s o'clock.
Less than a dozen members were
present when the house reassembled at
8 O'Clock and went into committee of
the whole on the free wool bill. After
speeches by Messrs. Parrett, of Indiana :;
Milliken. of Maine; Greenleaf, of New
York, and PendletOn, of West Virginia.
the house adjourned.

that has many elements OF strength. In
many ways it is superior to several society
dramas that have been wondrously and per
ennially successful It's, however, deficient
in one particular, and that deficiency causes
the interest to lag somewhat at times The
comedy element is rather weak. Henry Lee
gives q strong rendition of the part of Arthur

success, He is supported by company that

A SUIT FOR MILLIONS.
Claflin & Co., Of New York, Sue a
Cleveland Firm.

Claim u Co., OF New Ork, sue q
Cleveland Firm.
CLEVELAND, O, March 31.-The lit
igation of E. NJ. MCCLELLAN against I'll. B.
Claflin & Co., of New York, changed
today into suit of huge proportions.
Mr.. MCCLELLAN dropped previous case
today and sued for S2,093,0 900, garnishee-
ing the insurance due the E. NJ. McGil
Ian Dry Goods company, in which the
New York firm is heavily interested, for
the fire which recently destroyed their
large store in this city. The causes of
action alleged are: For stock of the
Harlem Cattle company delivered to the
firm. S35O,0OO; for American Cattle
Trust stock, S750,000; book accounts,
notes, ETC., $4,000; due on Cleveland
dry goods store, 1929, GOO; for alleged
breach OF contract in the cattle trust,
100000; due OIL land in Chicago, $50,
coo; OH notes of the Harlem Cattle com
pany, $4,000; for profits on the sale of
American .Cattle Trust stock, $1,000.
The litigating grows out of the transac-
ton by which, in 1885. f. NJ. McGillin
sold his big dry goods store in Cleveland
to McGilln Dry Goods company, in
which II. B. Clafin & Co. are heavy
stockholders, and entered with the firm
into the cattle raising business in
Southern Nebraska under the name of
the Harlem Cattle company. The cattle
venture did not prove successful.

OTTAWA, Ont. March 31.-The Citi-
zen, referring editorially to the Behring
sea dispute, says:
q ssThe ratification of the treaty be-
tween England and the United States
providing for the settlement of the
disputes by arbitration will have re-
assuring effect upon the public mind Of
both countries and of Canada. After
all. the screening of the violent news
paper enemies of England has little
effect upon the sober sentiment of the
responsible rulers of the country, es
pecially the senate, which is composed
of the best character OF ability of the
nation. Canadians cannot but welcome
the result. Our case is improbable,
although falsely accused of making eX-
IRENE demands, this government has
never taken any position not fully justi-
fed by the established principles of
international law. We, therefore, can
await the result of the arbitration with
confidence in harmony, with the firm
ness constantly maintained by our
representative"
OTTAWA, Ont, March 31.-Lord Sails
bury has refused to consent to indie M
Nifty the Canadian sealers this year for
any loss they may sustain by being ex

dian sealers have been informed that
they will go to Behring sea at their own
risk, and cannot lay claim to any pro-
lection from the British or Canadian

Martin, as guardian, was to sell the property
to Baliff, who should give pretended note

The note should be due in one year, and

A CELEBRATED CASE.
1t Is Not Likely That 1t Will Lead
to War

Special Agent Tatro. of the humane So
ciety has given Judge Rea his statement of
the condition of affairs which led up to the
persecution of The British subject, Christie
pher Ellis" whose horse was taken away
from him and placed in the care of veter-
mary surgeon. The statement will no doubt
prove satisfactory to the British minister at
Washington, the vice consul, Mr.. Morphy, of
ST. Paul; 10 Judge Rea, and, in
fact, everybody but the prosecuted
subject" Mr.. Tatro assures the pub
lie that Lord Salisbury will not
take the matter in hand, inasmueh as he is
busted with other matters of equal impor-
lance The statement recites the history OF
the Ellis equine from Oct. 90. 1891, when
Agent Tatro ordered the horse put in the
stable until it was i'll condition to work On
Dec. . he again ordered the horse laid up
from work. On Dec. he took charge of the
horse and kept him torty-two days under the
care OF a veterinarian On Dec. Ellis was
sentenced to the wor6house for thirty days
for neglecting the animal. On March Is Tatro
took the horse away for the second time.
Agent Tatro, i'll concluding his "ultimat-
I'm, ~ says that he will release the nag only
on condition that Ellis pay the charges up to
date, and keep the ANNA! i'll the care of

NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Senate Reports the Work
Progressing FavorabIy.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Notwith-
standing the prevailing rain storm, the
new senator from Texas set a good eX-
ample to his fellow-senatorS of being in
his seat at the opening of today's ses-
sion. The junior senator from New
York was also present. The general
attendance, however, was very slim.
In reply to direct question proposed
to the committee on foreign relations,
touching a petition presented by Mr..
Allen, on the subject of the Mic
aragua canal, Mr.. Sherman, chair
man of the committee, stated that the
work of the Nicaragua canal was pro-
crossing favorably under private cor
poration; that the company was making
favorable progress; that the congress
had nothing whatever 10 aid it.; that a
bill for that purpose was reported last
session, but was not acted on; that the
bill was now under consideration by a
subcommittee of the committee on for
eign relations, which was now taking
testimony in relation to the present con-
dition and future prospects of the canal
and expected to report as soon as posi-
BILE. If the committee was hopeful
that congress would respond to its rec
concentrations, its members would be
much more willing to serve, as they
were now doing-taking testimony. He
hoped, however, before long to make a
report to the senate on the subject.

TARIFF IN THE HOUSE.
The Free Wool Bill Discussed in
the Presence of Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-The house
today went into committee OF the whole
{Mr. Blount. of Georgia, i'll the chair,
on the free wool bill. Before this bill
was considered the Peoples party rep
resentatives made an attempt to call up
the anti-Pmkerton resolution introduced
several months ago by Mr.. Watson. of
Georgia, but which has never been re-
ported by the committee on judiciary.
After repeated efforts to receive recog-
milton from the speaker without avail
and statement by its friends that they
would call it up from day to day until
recognized, the house resolved itself
into the committee of the whole for the
consideration of the tariff bill.
The most significant event in the tar
if discussion today was the presence on
the floor of eX-Representatlve McKin-
ley, the author of the law against which
all the Democratic speeches were di-
rected. He was warmly greeted by the
members of both political parties, and
paid close attention for time to the
speech of Representative Wheeler. of
Alabama, in support of the free wool
bill.
The first speaker today was Mr.. Bros
oluS, VI lEoDidi wiz opOhC up
position to the measure, and made a
made vigorous defense of the pro-
tective system.
Mr.. Wheeler. of Alabama, is an ener-
getic talker, and when he took the floor
to conclude his speech (begun week or
more ago. in advocacy of the bill, he re-
ceiyed the attention of the hundred and
odd members present. He spoke but
for brief space of time which he de-
voted to denunciation of the Mckinley
act.
Mr.. johnson, of Ohio, said that he
would vote for the free wool bill with a
great deal of pleasure, but he would
like the measure very much better if it
did notsuit the manufacturers of WOODEN
goods SO we'll. When he welcomed free
wool he would be delighted if there
could be lower duties OH wooden goods.
