Terrible Experience of a Fisherman
From Raaine.
ST. JOHN, n. B., July IA, 1S94.-Ship
Celeste Burrill, from Dunkirk, picked up a
fisherman named Hobert Harding, who
passed through a mo thrilling experience.
He joined the fishing schooner Libana of
Lockport for a fishing cruise, and sailed
from Lockport ON the I'd The first day out
the schooner anchored on.Quero Banks, and
Harding left the schooner in dory to fish.
He took but little water, expecting to re-
turn in short time.
Thick fog set in and he lost sight of the
schooner. 1t was impossible to find his yes
sci, so Harding decided to remain at anchor
on the banks in the hope that the fog would
lift or that he might come across some other
fishing boats The next day was foggy
again He waited on the banks until he con
cluded there was little hope, if any, of being
found by the fishermen, and then rowed to
the southward, with the hope of getting in the
track of vessels.
He Kept continuously at the oars, but
without being on any particular course. for
when he sighted the Celeste Burrill ne still
on the Quero Banks When taken on board
the man was much exhausted, having been
four days and five nights without food or
sleep.
The fifth night was very stormy There
was heavy sea on, and Harding suffered
fearfully from cold and exposure. He had
nothing to eat all the time he was drifting
about,

WANToN MISCHIEF.

ST. LOUIS, July IA, 1S94.-A Missouri Pa
cifc switch engine, which had been left
standing alone with steam up at Eighteenth
street, was boarded by two men last night,
who opened the throttle and started toward
the depot at full syeed. Nobody was in
jured The officials are confident that the
work was done by strikers, while Strike
Director Elliott thinks the engine started it
self. The police are looking for the mis-
creants.
ST. LOUIS. NO.. July IA, 1S94.-Chief
Deputy United States Marshal Nell has ar
rived here, having in custody ten strikers
sympathizers, arrested at Thayer, Mo-, for
obstructing trains All were held in bonds
of from $1,000 to 5000 each. One of the
prisoners, h Garwood, is ex-Mayor of
Thayer
So far as appearances indicate here the
strike is thing of the past. All the rail-
roads are running passenger trains on sched-
ule time, and have notified their contracting
agents to receive freight without any re-
strictions.
General Managers Gays of the Terminal
Association states that many of their former
employees are applying for positions, but that
they viii only be received as individuals
and not as members of the American Rail
way Union. He also declared that they
would not be goverened by any action taken
by the railways of Chicago today.

SUGAR AND THE TARIFF.
The Pending viii Provides for Duties
DESPITE RecIprocity.


Despite Reciprocity.
NEW YORK. July II, 1S94-It is learned
here on good authority that Secretary Car
Isle, while not finally disposing of the i'm
portant question raised, has informed New
York firm OF sugar importers that any re-
ciprocal arrangements in force between the
United States and other countries would
not be considered as obstructing in any way
the collection of duties upon sugar under the
pending Wilson tariff bill, whether coming
from such countries or other countries.
Under reciprocal arrangements ,br agree
ments, which some hold have the force of
reciprocal treaties certain countries, prin-
cipally the republics of South America,
agreed to allow the admission duty free into
their borders of agricultural implements
and machinery, in return for the free entry
into the United States of certain of their
products, principal among which is sugar.
Provisions carrying out this reciprocal
idea were Incorporated into the Mckinley
tariff bill, and this statement of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, foreshadowing the of
fetal action of the government, should the
duty on imported sugars still be retained in
the Wilson tariff bill, is looked upon as sig
nificant

THE TROUBLE IN CALIFORNIA.

WASHINGTON, July IA, 1894 = General
Schofeld received the following telegram
last night at late hour, from General Nc
Cook, at Denver
'eThe situation at Williams, Winslow and
Peach Springs on the Atlantic and Pacific is
SO critical that / have ordered three com
panies OF infantry from Whipple Barracks
to take station at these points and move from
point to point on the railroad, as deemed
necessary
This is considered to be a spreading of the
troubles that existed at Trinidad and other
points near Santa Fe on the road which
connects with the Southern Pacific
near Los Angeles. These sporadic
strikers distant from the centres of
disturbance, are not expected TO amount to
much General Schofeld anticipated any
number of such small troubles, and is fully
prepared to meet them whenever they occur.

CRANK LEGISLATION.
BILLS For Compulsory Arbitratfon II
Introduced in Congress.

bills For Compulsory Arbitration
Introduced In Congress.
WASHINGTON, July II, 1894 Compulsory
arbitration or the Judicial enforcement Of
awards by boards Of arbitration is the fea-
ture of the several bills recently introduced
into Congress i'll order to prevent re-
currence of such labor troubles as the
present. But this idea is not new one, as
might be supposed. 1t was included in the
bill originally introduced by Represen
tatiye O'Neill of Missouri, which, as amend
ed. was passed by Congress, and is now the
law of 1888 under which the President has
appointed his commission of inquiry. The
subject of enforcing the findings of the ar
bitrators as provided for in another part of
the bill was then thoroughly discussed, says
Mr.. O'Neill, and it was the judgment of
Congress that this could not be done by
judicial process, and the sections providing
therefor were stricken out. They were sub
Stantially as follows:-
THAT when the award provided for has
been filed with the clerk of the District or
Territorial Court, he shall enter it upon the
records of said court and thereupon said
award shall have all the force and effect of a
decree or Judgment rendered in said court,
and may be enforced as such decree or judg-
ment is enforced. Such award, when made,
shall be irrevocabIe unless impeached for
fraud or set aside by mutual consent of
parties interested.
That whenever the Board Of Arbitrators
has been organized and entered upon the dis
charge of its duties, it shall be unlawful for
the employees to interfere in any way to in
jufiously affect the business of the common
carrier who is party to such arbitration,
and if any such interruption occurs, the ar
bitrators shall certify the fact to the United
States Court within whose jurisdiction the
hoard is sitting, and the judge shall use all
his mower and authority to preyent s,lcI
Interruption
The bill in question was introduced first
in the Forty-ninth Congress by Mr.. O'NeiH.
and it passed both branches, but reached
President Cleveland too late TO be signed III
the life Of that Congress, but in the Fftieth
Congress it got through all right. 1t was
prepared in response to the special message
of President Cleveland on the subject OF ar
bitration which has recently been repub-
lished in these dispatches

SENATOR MARTINS CREDENTIALS
So Gorgeous That They are Great
Worry to the Senate Clerk.

WASHINGTON, July IA, 1S94-The creden-
dials of Thomas Staples Martin, the next
Senator from Virginia. wheh were pre-
sented to the Senate yesterday, were alto
gether unusual and unique. They We're en-
crossed upon huge sheet of Bristol board,
nearly three feet square, to which were at
tached several yards of light blue ribbon
bearing the golden seal of the State The
letters were beautifully executed in pen and
ink, the body of the credentials appearing in
ornate script. while the important clauses
and words such as the new Senator's name,
were made prominent with all the decoration
of which the artist was capable
The clerk who has the custody of the
credentials felt, however, as though he had
a white elephant on his hands. He would
much rather have had plain, typewriter
document that could be easily filed. As it
was, he hesitated about bending the elabor-
ate example OF pen work, and 50 it remained
untouched upon his desk all day. 1t is
probable that Senator Martin will be asked
to furnish a duplicate of a less artistic
nature, and then he can have the original to
put in frame under glass and keep it as an
heirloom in his family.

SHOT INTO THE CROWD.

LOGAN, Ohio, July IA, 1s94.-Great ex-
citement was caused on the streets, last
evening, by non-union man shooting INTO
a crown of citizens. A crew of new men
ran an . ngine off the track In Hayden's
brickyard here and number of men and
boys were standing near watching them put
the engine on the track, when
some boy cried "Scabs." A non
union brakeman from Pittsburg named
Harry Sox, without word drew his re-
volver and shot into the crowd Fortunate
ly no one was hit. A warrant was soon
issued for Sox and he was taken before
Squire McBream and pleaded guilty to
shooting with intent to wound In default
of $1,000 bail he was sent to jail The
strikers are very orderly. An attempt to
move train to Nelsonville by the Sheriff of
Athens County will be made today.

WILL SUMMER AT GRAY GABLES

WASHINGTON, July Il, 1S94.-White
House authorities are consistently reticent
as to probable movements of the President,
and the President is understood to feel
strongly that his official position should not
debar him from the right of maintaining a
reasonable degree of privacy about his
domestic affairs and personal movements.
Therefore, as to published statement, origi-
mating in the same source as many recent
unfounded rumors, that the President was
going bear hunting in Colorado, no official
denial or confirmation can be obtained. But
it is stated, by authority, that Mr.. Cleveland
desires TO pass all the time he can spare from
his official duties this summer with his family
at Gray Gables, and an inference is
drawn that he cannot be in Massachusetts
and Colorado at the same time.
