ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
Result of a Drunk's Claim of Having
Been Rolled.

At 40 last evening John Welsh and
Frank Curtain were arrested by Officer
Harvey, on suspicion of having COM
mitted burglary on San Fer
nando street.
Several gangs seem to be operating in
that region, and OF late a number OF
bunco steering and highway-robbing ex-
ploits have been reported from there,
without the discovery OF more than a
clue to the perpetrators. Last night a
drunk on San Fernando street COM
planned that he had been "rolled." and
that S23 had been taken from his pock-
cts. He gave a rather indefinite de-
scription OF the two men who had rob-
bed him. and Officer Harvey thought
that Curtain and Welsh approximated
the description. After the two had
been arrested on Upper Main street,
and searched at the police station, no
money was found on their persons. The
same two individuals have slept at the
station for several nights.

A Lovers Rare Property.

Young Toddleby was true hearted
and promising youth. He had graduated
with honor at Yale, and was studying
law with Mr.. Lofter. 1t SO happened
that Toddleby became acquainted with
a beautiful young lady, daughter of old
Digby. He loved the fair maiden, and
when he had reason to believe that his
love was returned he asked Mr.. Lofter
to recommend him to the father, Lofter
being on terms of close intimacy with
the family. The lawyer agreed, and
performed his mission; but old Digby,
who loved money, asked what property
the young man had. Lofter said he did
not know, but he would inquire. The
next time he saw his young student he
asked him if he had any property at all.
"Only health, strength and a determi-
nation to work" replied the youth.
"Well," said the lawyer, who sincere
ly believed the student was in every way
worthy, 'let us see, what will you take
for your right leg? 1 will give you $50, 900
for it,
Of course Toddleby refused.
The next time the lawyer saw the
young lady's father he said
81 have inquired about this young
mans circumstances. He has no money
in bank; but he owns a piece of property
for which, to my certain knowledge,
he has been offered, and has refused,
100000"
This led old Digby to consent to the
marriage, which shortly afterward took
place. In the end he had reason to be
proud of his son-in-law, though he was
once heard to remark, touching that
rare piece of property, upon the strength
of which he had consented to the match:

Much Talk and No Fight-Two Matches
Finally Arranged.
New YORK, Jan. 16.-Many of the
offers of purses made last month to
fighters by Captain Williams on behalf
OF the Olympic club of New Orleans as
rule were without much success.
Charley Mitchell refused to meet Jim
Corbett for purse of $4,000, and
Frank Slavin also declined the tempt
ing offer of 5000 to meet Corbett.
Corbett refused to meet Maher for
$4,000 purse. on the ground that
Maher had never fought frst-class
man. Corbett was then offered
$4,000 to meet Bob Fitzsimmons, but
refused to meet the middle
weight then $1,000 purse
was offered for a fight between
Fitzsimmons and Maher, but Fitz de-
clined to meet Maher, considering him
a second d-rater. The next move was to
offer an $4,000 purse for battle between
Fitz and Jimmy Carroll, of Brooklyn,
but Fitz refused to meet Carroll. The
next offer was a $4,000 purse for a
fight between Maher and Choynski.
Maher could not make match with
out the consent of Sage, of Dublin.
This was received tonight, and fight
between Maher and Choynski will surely
take place. While Lumley was waiting
for an answer he hunted Jack McAuliffe
and succeeded in getting him to sign
articles to fight Billy Maher, March 2,
for 1000, the winner to take all.

BerinK Sea Arbitration.

WASHINGTON. March S.-The senate,
in its executive session this afternoon,
considered the arbitration treaty in regard
to the Bering sea. There was much oppo-
sition to it. One body of senator's bitter
ly resented the idea of any treaty, hold
ing the right of the United States to
waters acquired from Russia beyond
question and that it would be cowardly to
surrender on the part of this government
to submit its rights to an uncertain decis-
ion of foreign arbitrators. Attention was
called to the fact that one of these arhi-
traitors was a subjet Of power with which
our relations were much strained.
Other senators appeared to believe the
approval of a treaty would be a distinct
gain in diplomatic battle inasmuch as it
committed Great Britain to a recognition
of the fact the United States had a claim
to the Jurisdiction over the waters of
Boring sea under the Russian title-a
point which she heretofore steadily re-
fused to allow. The third group thought
a treaty should not be approved finally
without the addition of a clause renewing
the modus vivendi indeed. There was
manifested a general feeling OF disappoint-
ment growing out of the refusal of the
British government to accede to a reason
able request of this government In that
respect. Some senators took the ground
while the treaty might safely be ratified
the administration should be instructed in
the event of a continued refusal of the
British government to insure the protec-
ton of seal during arbitration proceed
ings, 10 order vessels of the United States
to seize every offending vessel without
regard to nationality. After considerable
discussion the treaty was referred to the
committee on foreign relations.
