Anxiety For the Alvo.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2-The Atlas line
steamer Alvo sailed from this port Aug.
IL for West India ports with q doxsn
passengers and q general cargo. From
the time she passed outside Sandy
Hook she has been unreported and the
gravest fears are fei. for her safety.
The passage from New York to Coma.
vios usually takes the Alvo from sir ID
seven days. The course IL directly Ii
the path OF the late hurricanes, and
this fact causes alarm at her non-ar-
rival. The vessels passengers are
wealthy residents of the West Indies.
The steamship had q crew of 60 officers
and seamen.

the Russian Minister at Washington, and
sent to the Senate by President Cleveland
himself. nearly seven years ago. 1t failed
TO satisfy a majority of the Senators in its
provisions upon the very point on which ii
is so severely criticized now; that is, it did

So 1t remained on the calendar throughout
Harrlson's administration until Foster be-
came Secretary of State. He investigated
the reason for the hesitation of the Senate, and
secured the consent of Russia to an amend
ment, after which the Senate gave consent
to ratification. This amendment sought to
define to some extent the term political
crimes" by taking out of the category mur-
der. assassination or poisoning of the sover-
eign of either country, or a member of his
family. The treaty has been in st. Peters
burg for some days, the exchange copy hav-
Ing been sent, together with the necessary
authority and instructions to Minister
White to effect an exchange with the rep
resentative of Russia. Indeed. the exchange
may have been already effected, though the
Department Of State has not been informed
OF the fact. To withdraw or withhold the
exchange at this stage of the proceedings
would be entirely Unprecedented In diplo-
matte history and might even be construed
as q grave affront by Russia.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Speaker Crisp's
private secretary says there is no truth in
the report that President Cleveland re-
qussted him to see about arranging his
committees, as he intended TO call an extra
session the 1st of September.
The publication referred TO was in the
Post and was as follows: Speaker Crisp
has had consultation with the President
with reference to an extra session. The
President, it is understood, eXacted an
assurance from Crisp that the latter would
support the Presidents tariff reform, mon
etary reform and pension reform policies.
The Speaker gave those assurances. He
was then informed that an extra session
would surely be called in September and
the vacant committee chairmanships should
be given immediate attention. Owing to
the determination to retire Springer the

new chairman, with McMilliu the next

be called not later than Septem Der 10.

There Is Much Surprise Over the

Gresham Has Talent for That
Sort of Thing.
Special to The MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-The disclosures
with regard TO the Bering Sea Commission
expenditures still continue 10 excite sur
prised comment. All Of the arrangements
for the representation of this country at
the conference were made by General Fos-
ter, and evidently with a determination
that its staff should not lack wealth with
which to make a display. Looking at it in
that light, there are some people who are
willing 10 admit that the ex-Secretary had
the right idea, but they think that he car
Tied it to an extreme. For instance, they do
not see why the paymaster of the commits
sion. whose duties occupy no more than one
or two days at the outside in every month.
should have been allowed so large a sum
for his expenses over and above his per
diem and salary. In fact they fail to see
why paymaster was necessary at all, and
say that his duties could have been lust as
we'll performed by one of the clerks, or
even by one Of the Commissioners them
selves.
Members Of the House who are in the
city are outspoken in their protests against
the extravagances which the investigation
of Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle has
disclosed, and there is talk of introducing
resolution in the Senate for an investiga-
tion. This mode of procedure is discour-
aged by some, who say it is wholly unneces-
sary, in view of the fact that the two Secre-
taTies are doing all the investigating neces-
sary, and when they reach a conclusion
they may be relied upon to act quite as
vigorously and fearlessly as any Senate
committee. Moreover, there is widespread
feeling OF confidence in Secretary Gresham's
ability to get at the bottom of a compca-
ton of this kind

Miss Simmonds, the housekeeper, Miss

discovered what she supposed TO be water

oil from gasoline tank, and he shouted to
the women to flee for their lives. But they
stood dumfounded. In a moment the gas
had communicated with the fire in the fur
mace. and there was terrific explosion.
Wright caught Miss Simmonds and Miss
Collins and fought his way to the open air.
He endeavored to return for Miss Nc
Grath when he met with binding sheet

heroically tried to gain an entrance, but
was unsuccessful. and the unfortunate
woman was left to perish.
