ELECTION MIDDLE
A New Jersey County in a Tumult d
Excitement.
BALLOTS SAID TO BE ILLEGAL

Although the Democratic Voters
Were Largely in the Majority, II
Ms Claimed That NOT single Lc-
gal Ballot Was Cast for Their Cam
tiidates.
MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., March s.-The
Democrats carried Burlington county by
large majority yesterday, but it looks
now as though the Republican candi-
dates would hold the Offices. The entire
county Is in state Of excitement. Under
the state law not single ballot was
cast for Democratic nominee.
The Democratic ballots in this county
were not printed according to law. The
trouble seems to have arisen through a
misunderstanding. When the law was
passed three years ago 1t was SO framed
that it did not apply to township cleo
tons. BY the present legislature the
law was so amended that it applied to
every election Ia the state which were
general, county or local.
The irregularity OF the Democratic
ballots was not noticed until the voting
day had almost passed. Then some Of
the Republicans who had obtained one
of the Democratic ballots discovered the
error, and the fact that there was an err
ror was ut once communicated to Hon.
Joseph II. Caskell, who Is president Of
the State League Of Republican clubs,
and resides in this city. Mr.. Caslxell
promptly took advantage Of the error,
and at each election district in hecounty
protests were entered against the count
ing of these ballots and the issuance ty
the boards Of certificates Of election TO
Democrats having majorities.
In most instances the. votes were
counted as they were voted, and the
certified returns filed with the city and
town clerks. It viii now deyolve upon
the county boards of elections to pass
upon the legality OF the ballots. No
matter what they may decide the case
viii be carried to the courts, and the
constitutionality Of the Werts law,
which has been IN dispute but never be-
fore tested, win be passed upon.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The house
committee on rivers and harbors decided
to close its hearings on river and harbor
bills. The committee for two months
past has heard persons from every sec

tative blanchard said that the pressure
for river and harbor improvement had
been 20 per cent. greater this year than
ever before. The river and harbor bill.
he said, was at present nearly completed,
and would be finished in weeks time.

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, March 9.--Albert
Strobecker, a young man of Port Provi-
dence, this county, was walking along
the Schnylkill Valley railroad near
Locustwood, when he came upon four
tramps basking inthe March sun. With
out word as to their purpose, they
shamefully attacked him. Not content
with their fiendish work, one of the men
drew knife and plunged it into ,Stro-
becker's leg above the knee. They then
skunk away, leaving him to live or die,
as the fates might decree. He was weak
from the loss of blood, and but for his
timely discovery by persons who hap
pened by would probably have died
from exhaustion. His assailants fled and
left no possible trace of their identity.

Jealously Caused the Hitch.

TRENTON, March 9.-Jealousy is the
cause of the apparent hitch in the Read.
ing coal investigation. Assemblymen
Lane and Beekman are responsible for
the trouble. Beekman is the chairman
Of the house committee ON railroads and
canals. His committee was first desig-
mated to conduct the investigation. Then
Q special committee was appointed, with
Lane as chairman. That displeased
Beekman, and he tried to have the whole
matter referred to the attorney general
A compromise was arranged by which
the two committees were combined, and
Beekman was elected chairman. Now
he refuses to do anything until the ses-
sion closes.

SENATORS OBJECT
They Dislike England's Attitude on
the Bhring Sea Natter.
.RATITIOATIoN MEETS OPPOSITION.

They Urge That the Submission Of
the Matter 70 Foreign Arbitrators
will be = CowardIy Surrender on
Our Part-onIy the Beginning or
the Opposition.
WASHINGTON, March o. The Behring
sea arbitration treaty was sent to the
senate yesterday afternoon by the presi-
dent, and at $3.50 the senate went into
executive session to consider it, on mo-
tion of Mr.. sherman, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations. The
message Of the president and full text Of
the treaty was read. There was moth
ing Of an important nature in the presi-
dents letter, it being simply letter Of
transmittal, and containing no recon-
mendations or suggestion. After short.
concise explanation of what the treaty
proposed an appeal to the senate con-
corning the urgent necessity for speedy
action had been made on behalf Of the
administration by q prominent senator.
An animated and interesting discussion,
free from crimony, however, followed
on the matter, and some Of the remarks
that were made showed disposition on
the part of some senators, particularly
ameng those from the Pacific coast, to
wage earnest opposition to its approval,
If not to its consideration.
Senators Resent Ratification.
Several senator's were uncompromis-
ing in their attitude. They held that
there was no question as to the right of
the United States to the waters ac-
quired from Russia by the Alaska treaty
Of 1867, and contended that the sub
mission of this right to the decision Of
foreign arbitrators was q cowardly sur
render on the part of this country. Rati-
fication under these circumstances they
resented bitterly. Another argument
urged against ratification of the treaty
was that one Of the arbitrators, Italy,
had not the friendliest feeling towards
the United States ON account of the
New Orleans affair.
Sustain United States Law.
Much feeling, almost general In its
was manifested over the
omission from the treaty of clause re-
0ewing the modus vivendi, and some
senators urged that q refusal TO do this
during the tendency Of arbitration pro-
ceedings justified the United States in
directing its armed vessels to seize any
sealers, without regard to nationality,
found violating the present law. The
discussion lasted more than an hour and
ended with the reference of the treaty
to the committee on foreign relations.
But yesterdays discussion is only the
beginning of the opposition which will
probably arise when the treaty is brought

WASHINGTON, March 9.--At yester-
days cabinet meeting the question was
discussed whether or not, under the con-
ditions that exist now, the recently ne
gotiated Behring sea treaty Of arbitra-
ton should be sent to the senate, and it
was decided in the affirmative. It was
asserted that it would not do for the
United States government, after having
proposed arbitration, to withdraw from
the arrangement made by its represent
atives and that of Great Britain to
carry that proposition into effect, what
ever position the other party might as
sumo. This government, it was further
stated, must show its good faith in the
matter. Other means than the proposed
arbitration could be found, and doubt
less would be, under the new conditions
arising out of the refusal of Great
Britain to renew the modus vivendi, by
which the seal herds could be protected
pending arbitration
President Harrison, it is said, fully
realizing the necessity that exists for
expeditions action, If there is to be any
effective protection of the seals against
poaching this season, will endeavor to
reach an understanding with Great
Britain as soon as possible. Should
Lord Salisbury persist in his refusal to
join in modus vivendi, after receiving
the reply to his recent note, sent yester-
day, it is probable the president will
notify him that the Law of the United
States against illegal sealing will be en-
forced against all vessels offending, and
theusual proclamation warning poachers
off the sealing waters viii be issued.
The programme, however, will depend
largely upon developments from time to
