CAN DEAD MEN VOTE.
Henry Farr's Name still Remains on
the Third W ard Voting List.

The report that the voting lists of
number OF the wards OF the city of
Providence were weighted down with
dead mems names appears to be
something more than q rumor, and il is
quite probable that some arrests will
follow the election IL the names are voted
next Wednesday.
Mr.. John I. Blodgett, who was former
~ chief federal supervisor for
Rhode Island was seen this morning
and he said that the report was
true. lie said that il was impossible to
tell how many cases there were, but his
attention had been particularly called to
one instance.
When he took charge of the federal
work in this State, he found the
name OF Henry Farr OF 9s Vande-
water street on the list OF the
Third Ward. As Farr was known TO have
died in February 3, 1855, his supervision
Investigated the matter and upon liking
oath TO the fact the name was removed for
the election in Nov, 1892. A few weeks
later the city election was held and once
more the name appeared on the list.
When the lists were prepared for the
special election In April, 1893, Mr..
Blodgett obtained an official no.
tiee OF Farr's death from the
health department. This was presented TO
the Board but the matter was laid on the
table until the Saturday before election
when the name was removed uuder threat
Of prosecution II IL was allowed TO remain.
These documents still remain in the
hands OF the Board. Farr's death was re-
corded IN the directory OF 1883, aud since
that time his wifes name has appeared
each year As Elizabeth, widow Of
Henry Farr." Notwithstanding these
facts, ,however,th name has been replaced
upon the voting list and IL now appears
among he propertv yoters OF tha Se~ond
District of the Third Ward.

NEW LINE OF STEAMERS.
Providence Business Men Want Fair

Proposed Line To New York Again
Under Discussion and VIM lie

About year ago, several leading manu-
facturers of the city and State inaugurated
movement for the organization OF
stock company TO establish
freight line of steamers between this port
and New York, TO run independently of
the Providence line. Negotiations were
entered into 10 secure the lease OF a
pier in New York, the occupancy OF whic h
was about 10 expire ana also for the
purchase of fleet OF steamers.
The enterprise, however, failed TO
materialize from lack OF substantial sup
port, and was subsequently abandoned.
An attempt is being made 10 re-
vive the project based on the
unjust discrimination in freights by
which the interests of Rhode
Island business men are initiated
against az compared with Boston
firms. A circular is in process of prepara-
tion to obtain stock subscriptions, and a

BERING SEA CASE.
New Bill to be Introduced into Brit
ish House of Commons.
Bv The Associated Press.


LONDON, March 31.--As a result of fur
ther exchange of views between London
and Washington, the Attorney General,
Sir Chas. Russell, has withdrawn the
Beripg sea bill, providing for the enforce
ment of the award ofthe Board of Arbitra-
ton, which he recently introduced in the
House of Commons.
The object of Sir Charles Russell in
withdrawing the bill is that it may be sub
jected to modification and re-introduced
on Thursday next.
II is supposed here that Sir Charles
Russell's action i'm withdrawing the Bering
Sea bill in order to modify it was due To
strong protests on the subject which have
been received from Canada.
Dispatches from Victoria, b. c., say
that the sealers are indignant at the
prospect of United States officers being
empowered to seize their ves-
sells. The sealers declare that this
would entail their total ruin for the bene-
fit OF the American spectators and poiti-
ticians Who own the seal islands.

NEW YORK, March 3l.-R. G. Dun &

Fall trade in woolens is still very small,
but needs OF belated clothiers have caused
quite an improvement in spring goods.
Cottons are also in better demand and
print cloths have advanced a sixteenth.
The shoe manufacturer is supported b,

for women's goods. with many small pur-
chases for immediate delivery at the east

ings OF Thursday.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-Immediately
after the reading of the journal
in the House this morning, Mr.. Payne
(kep., N. Y.,) arose to a question OF per-
sonal privilege and made an explana-
tion of the incident which occurred

the speaker had stated, in reply to a seem
ing defiance Of the chair by Mr.. Payne,
when the latter was ordered to take his
seat, that he would recognize motion to
bring the contumacious member to the
bar Of the House.
Mr.. Payne stated that on that occasion
the reply which he made (that he would
take his seat when he got ready was in
response TO something said by Mr..
Cultivate, not to the chair. He
had not heard the decision Of
the Speaker. He thought an
injustice had been done him. Mr.. Payne's
statement led TO mutual explanations
from Mr.. Outhwaite and the Speaker,
which cleared up the incident.
The Speaker will enforce his rulings of

friends last evening. II was a
good show. p. j. Waters, colored, of

most points.
The contest OF the evening was between
Patsy Broderick and James Boyle, ban

and gave evidence OF training. They
didn't get fresh and went to
work cautiously. As the rounds pro-
gressed and the style of each became more
familiar rapid and skillful exchanges
were made with the advantage toss up.
