Relics In the War Office.

There is an old clock in the office of the
secretary of war which is the only piece
of furniture that was there when Jeffer-
son Davis was secretary of war 40 years
ago under President Franklin Pierce
The clock, which is a specimen of what
was in style in the way of mantel time
pieces during the empire, is covered by a
glass case and still keeps perfect time.
over the mantel on which it stands is an
other glass case containing the flag that
was wrapped around Lincoln's casket on

WASHINGTON.
The New Treaty and Other Matters of
Interest.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Herald's
Washington special says: A gentleman
closely connected with the administra-
tration is authority for the statement
that the Hawaiian matter will be taken
up Immediately by Secretary Gresham,
and that a message transmitting treaty
of some kind will be sent to the Senate
during the present special session. This
gentleman proclaimed further that the
treaty would be on annexation lines,
though radically different in its terms
from the Harrison treaty. Features will
be added, he states, which will leave no
possible chance for sugar syndicate to
reap any benefits, and which will relieve
the United States from any financial re-
sponsibility for the support of islands,

A FRENCH CRISIS.
Caused by the Startling Testimony of
Madame Cottu.

PARIS, March 12.-Today's sensation
is great. Nine. Cottu, wife Of one of the
condemned Panama prisoners, went up
on the witness stand and swore that a
representative. of the government offered
to secure her husband liberty if she
would disclose the names of those depu-
ties of Right who had received Panama
bounty.
Since the outset of the Pa mama scan
,dal the government has used its utmost
efforts to implicate members of the
Right as an offset to the corruption of
their own supporters.
Attempts were made to explain or con-
tradict Nine. Cottu's startling testimony,
but they only made matters worse. The
effect eff these last revelations can hard
ly be exaggerated, and it is idle to proph-
esy the turn events will tgke.
The public excitement tonight is at a
high pitch. There is plenty of wild talk
about compelling not only the ministry
but the President to resign.
Bourgeois has already resigned, and
the cabinet is fast breaking up.

BosToN's FIRE.
Four Dead and Thirty-six Injured.

BosToN, March 11.-A large force
of men have been engaged all day in re-
moving the debris from the burned dis
trict, careful search being made at the
same time for bodies that may be buried
there.
District Chief Eagan of East Boston,
who so niraculously escaped death by
sliding down an electric wire cable, and
who suffered from the nervous shock, re-
ported for duty this morning, although
contrary to the advice of his friends.
One more death is added to the death
list this afternoon, that of Henry Turner,
an employe of the Jaquith Company,
and who, without doubt, was overcome
by the smoke and burned to death.
This makes four dead, as follows:
Leonidas H. Redpath, senior partner
in the firm of Redpath Brothers, boots
and shoes, had multiple injuries.
Fred Meadowcraft of At Chestnut
street. Cambridge, jumped from the third
story of building.
c. T. Odinrne. employed by Redpath
Brothers.
Henry Turner, employed by the. Ja-
quith Company, overcome by smoke and
burned to death.
The list of wounded remain the same
as has been already sent.
The condition of Miss Margaret Flynn
and Charles J. Wellsworth, who are still
at the City Hospital and of Theodore
Crocker, who was taken to his home in
East Boston, remains very critical. All
the other injured are reported rapidly
recovering from their bruises.
Attempt is being made to obtain iAdi-
vidual losses and insurance in detail, ex-
cept in few instances, and nothing like
an accurate and positive statement of
either can be made until the wet, burned
or smoked stocks are overhauled. All
figuring is at present based upon esti-
mates. The aggregate loss, it is believed
will fall short of the figures given last

fact that the bill embodying the pet the

now that there is another definite propo-

THE BRUNSWICK RAILWAY CASE.
Messrs. Powell TT Ais Must Pay Their
Portion of tho Tax.

WASHINGTON. d. c., December A.
Unless Messrs. Powell ct ais, Of Bruins

means OF relief than through the assist
ance of the Supreme Court. they Will have
10 bear their proportion OF the taxes
necessary 70 meet the payment Of bonds
voted to the Atlantic ana DanVlle Railroad
Company by that county. From the rec
ord in the case il appears that the SUI
pervisors Of Brunswick county made a
subscription TO the stock Of the Atlantic
and Danyille Railroad Company 90 be paid
i'm bonds Of the county at the rate Of
5000 a mile. Powell and a dozen others
with him brought suit 10 enjoin the SUI
pervisors and the railroad company from
selling any bonds issued for that purpose,
or from making subscription 10 the stock
of the corporation. The state courts, both
District and Supreme, on appeal, decided
against Powell ct ais, and they tried 10
have the Supreme Court Of the United
States override the State court. But jus
tice Fuller, for that tribunal answered
to-day that it could see no reason for
taking the case under consideration, and
dismissed the appeal.

There was a general air Of respectful
attention manifested on both sides or

proceeded. and it was found TO be 10
far different from what hgh-strung cX-
pectatiOn had anticipated, the interest
manifested in its contents perceptibly
diminished.
The reading progressed quietly and UNI
eventually until the end. but then Mr..
Dolph rose and inquired whether the
COPIES Of the message which had been laid
upon the desks Of the senator's were the
same as that from which the Secretary
had read. lie was prompted to do this

no reference was made 10 Hawaiian ar

having thus been called 10 the attention
Of the Senate. the Nice-Prcsident directed
the secretary TO read the page, which
was done.
The point Of Mr. Dolph's inquiry was
made clear then, for he Immediately gave
notice that tomorrow after the meeting
hour he should ask the Senate 10 indulge
him IN few remarks on that point Of the
