SEVERE ON A AMERICANS.

New One of John Balls Watchfnl 0rgans
sisss Up Some American Subjects.
Except Yorkshiroman thore Is no
moro self conscious person than your
untraYeled American. lie knows every
thing. You can't take him in. he
comes from stho biggest country In tho
world. His smartness is proverbial. He
docs not continually exclaim, II am a
Yankee, am" but he metaphorically
waves his flag in tho face Of an effete
civilization and trails his egotism be-
forc the darned old country all tho time,
you betl And it is done surely and per-
sistently. Every whippor snapper OF a
sneak thief has him. Notwithstanding
the stalencss Of the confidence trick IN
his own country, he is prey to the first
American sharper or tho clumsiest imi-
tator Of tho Yankee methods whom he
meets in street or barroom Tho papers
lately have contained several instances
Of tho successful practice Of the conf
dence trick ON Americana Tho wonder
is that any one can be fleeced so easily.
Imagine any sane person being in
duced to hand ever his watch and his
purse to total stranger and letting
hin, 60 out of sight I'd test his faith in
the said stranger-'to show his conf
tience" in man he does not care n but
ton about, and whese acquaintance no
has only just made. This happened the
other day in Holborn to an American
gentleman who parted with watch, ring
and notes to the value of nearly $500.
The story began by one of two conf
ienco men spotting him for an Ameri-
can in Holborn and asking him, "Say,
stranger. is this new street,"
The two men were Americans; they
came from Virginia; the dupe was from
New Jersey. OF course they all adj
journed to the restaurant to have a
drink. The first Virginia gentlemen had
come into large fortune and wanted
to give lot Of it away, but not to Brit
ishers-oh. no-but to his own country
men.
Tho Jersey gentleman was induced to
undertake the Office of my lord bounti-
full to the millionaire and was permit
ted for a time to hold possession of a
great bundle of spurious notes. Then,
to show his confidence in his new
friends, he banded over all he had about
him, and they presently decamped with
his money, Jewels, cash and plate. "
Ho had to so home before the police
could catch the masqueraders, but ON
reaching New York he will be asked by
cable to keep the promise he made that
he would return and prosecute them if
the dull London detectives could lay
hands on the astute operators from Vir-
ginia.
And this kind of thing is going on
continually The credulity of people in
general says great deal for the trust
fulness and sympathy of humanity as
whole. Cypics would say that it may
be taken as still more indicative of its
greed. 1t certainly says little for its
caution. The most transparent swindles
of the day in the direction Of compa-
MES, partnerships, offers Of fortunes for
a few pounds, successful systems Of bet
ting and speculation catch their dupes
day by day, and Monte Carlo is extend

carnot and jean Carries

The death of jean Carries, the sculp-
tor, recalls an anecdoto in which he and
the late President Carnot were the prin-
cipal actors. The artists busts and
figures at the Champ de Mars excited the
admiration of all, and they were de-
servedly classed in the first rank. M.
Carnot, when on his visit to the salon,
noticed an old man, who seemed much
moved on seeing him, standing before
the works OF art Of the sculptor. Some
one said to tho president, after pointing
out tho artist: Here is need for repara-
ton, M. le President. Carries is one
Of our most skillful men Of art, and he
is not yet decorated. Forthwith M.
Carnot detached from tho buttonhole Of
one Of the officers OF the military house
hold in the place Of a cross of the chew
alier cross Of an officer Of the Legion
Of Honor and placed it himself on the
breast of Jean Carries. The next day,
in The Officiel. the artist was named a

The train had stopped at o small town,

back and forth on the platform at the

trunks, and in doing SO carelessly pitched
one onto the platform, and it burst

Walsh Issued warrants to-day for the ar
rest of Vineenso de Viln. an Italian banker
of New York, aud Valesco Ferreni, his
clerk. on charges of subornation of per-
jury. There is evidence in the District
Attorneys Office that De Vilo sold nat
uraIization papers to Italians just landed
at from $40 to SIS apiece. The papers are
forged and have been used by the Italians
TO secure employment in city department
works.
In connection with these arrests the
World this evening devoted an entire page
TO the developments of the case, showing
an organized system of buying and selling
citizens papers obtained by fraud, selling
them to aliens not lawfully entitled TO be
naturaized and who, having become par
ties to the fraud, are controlled and driven
TO the polls like sheep. The article fur
ther states that when these aliens return
to their own country the papers are bought
back at big discount and sold again to
new arrivals.

CHICAGO, March M.-Passenger Traffic
Manager White of the Atchison and Third

ern held long conference this afternoon
regarding western passenger rates, but
nothing was definitely determined. There
is now stronger disposition to compro-
mise than has been evident during the
past few DAYS. The compromisers. how
ever, were given something to talk about
this afternoon when Information was re-
ceived tending to prove that the Uninn
Pacific is, through brokers, making S2q
rate from San Francisco to Chicago.
The Atrhison to-day asked the Southern
Pacific to control if possible the action of
the Union Pacific in the San Francisco

Union Pacific could net be regulated II
would be compelled to take other steps t.

hat the rate from Chicago to the Missouri

FINDINGS ARE BINDING
Preparations for Carrying Out
Bering Sea Patrol.
There Is an Interesting Controversy
Over the Coal Supply and
British Lethargy.

WASHINGTON, March 24-The Naval
Bureau, whose business it is to fit out
men-Of-war for service. is very busy just
now in getting together the supplies
necessary for the Bering Sea feet. The
repairs needed in five vessels are being
made under difficulties. owing to the low
state of appropriations available for con-
structnn and repair.
Tne equipment bureaus are also both
cred by the same old question which
arises every year as to the coal supply Ior
the feet. Persons interested in he Pacific
Slnpe coal fields have been insisting that
the navy use their coal in preferences to
imported coal, but the naval officers. while
willing to make any reasonable eonces-
sion TO patriotic feeling. have been obliged
10 declare agains; the Western coal, which,
they say, is not only inferior to the i'm
ported article for steaming purposes, but
is also destructive TO boilers and CRATE
bars.
Recently, however. the Seattle people
claim to have developed new vein of coal
that is free from the objections hereto
fore made. and they have renewed their
demands that the Bering Sea feet be sup
piled with American coal.

the result OF the Bering Sea arbitration IS
likely to fail of consummation for this
season at least, owing to diIatory policy
pursued by the British Government, has
produced no effect here, and the State and
Navy departments are making their ar
rsngements for the execution of the laws
in the seal waters on the assumption that
full lorce and effect is to be given to the
decision of the arbitrators, which was so
clearly explained that there is no chance
of misunderstanding. The thoroughness

the naval commanders of our vessels bode

waters with the intention of taking seals
in violation of the findings of the arbl-
traitors.
1t is of course desirable that these find
ings take the form of statutes in each of
the countries concerned, aud to that end
the McCreary bill was submitted to the
House and Senate; but regardless of this,
the contention of the United States is. and
has been, that the findings of the arbitra-
tors are binding upon the Two partie> the
treaty of arbitration, and that they have
even greater force than statutory law. The
United States Government proposes to act
upon this theory, too. and offending craft
in forbidden waters will be surely seized
and the masters subjected to the penalties
of the law.

bassador, had another long conference to-
day on the subject with Secretary Gres-

fore the expiration of his term in Novem-
ber.
PERNAMBUCo. March 24-The news
that Peix"to las revived the imperial de-
cress of 1888 and 1851 has reached here and
is causing great excitement. Some of the
in nhabitants of this state believe that the
decree might be stretched SO as to cover
many prominent people in the district. as
we'll as giving the Government power to
execute without trial some of the foreign
residents who may be suspected of having
been in symp athy with the insurgents.
MoNTEvIDEo. March 24.-The Portu-
guese warships having Admiral da Cana
and the other insurgent refugees on board
arrived here to-day. The authorities re-
fused to allow the warships TO enter the
quarantine station. 1t is thought probable
the Portuguese ships will now proceed to
Buenos Avres.
LONDON. March 4.-The Times this
morning has an editorial on the subject of
the action OF Peixoto of Brazil revlving
the imperial DEGREES of 1888 and 1851. by
the terms of hich the Government is au-
thorized to execute without the benefit of
formal trial all persons, whe ther ma
tives or foreigners. who either directly or
indirectly have aided or abetted a revolt.
The Times strongly protests against the
revival of this musty decree. and says that
they might be applied to quite innocent
British subjects. Peixot''s record, it adds.
is not clear enough 10 justify such action.
| The paper further says that the claim Of
President Peixoto upon Portugal for the
surrender of Admiral da Cana and the
other fugitive insurgent officers is also not
uDdisputed.
1t IS inconsistent alike with humanity
and expediency to prosecute the terrorist
policy before the revolution in the southern
provinces is suppressed. The Times
thinks that President Peixoto should have
| seen the Importance of building golden
bridge for the retreating enemy, and con-
eludes by saying it is desirable iu the in
! terests OF all the countries having dealings
with Brazil that the state of il. security
and excitement that has existed since the
| downfall OF the empire should cease. 1t
sees no promise of Improvement in the
prejudice of military autocracy with meas
ures Of vengeance against its defeated
political opponents.
NEW YORK, March 25.-The Herald's
Santos (BraziD s,ecia says: messenger
