member for the Kirkdale division Of Liv-
nation regarding the payment Of $i25ooo
which the United States had undertaken
as compensation to sealers under the
award OF the Berlng sea tribunal ar arbi-
tration. He desired TO be informed
whether any steps for the appropriation
OF this sum would be taken by the United
States congress before the rising of that
body, which would occur in March.
Sir Edward Gray. under foreign sec
retary, replied that President Cleveland,
In his message 10 congess, had recon-
mended that provision should be made for
the prompt payment Of the sum awarded.
Sir Edward further said that the British
ambassador at Washington. Sir Julian
Pauncefote, in his reports to the home
government, concerning the matter had
stated that there was no reason to doubt
that the amount would be appropriated
before the rising of congress.
This statement was greeted from all

which, Il was understood would remain In
force until either party gave formal no

ions.

pany, which has been in session in Wash
ington for nearly week, has been unable
to come to an agreement with the repre-
sentatives Of the railway company The
company, through its third vice president,
Mr.. Baldwin, made very fun and frank
statement of the affairs Of the company
and showed why it was not advisable
tnat there should be a general increase
IN wages, as demanded by the employees.
since receiving the statement the en-
ployes' committee has been in secret ses-
sion and has finally concluded not to ac-
cept the schedule proposed by Mr.. Bald
win, and the grand chief of the various
trainmen's brotherhoods have been sum-
moned TO this city to assist if possible
IN arriving al satisfactory arrangement
OF the difficulty. These gentlemen are eX-
pected to arrive here tomorrow. Those
into whose hands the matter now passes
are p. NJ. Arthur Of Cleveland, o.. grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers; E. E. Clark of Cedar Rapids

way conductors; Mr. Wilkinson, grand

is probably on his way now. Chief Clark

have to come all the way from Cedar

can be done toward solving the knotty
problem, and the members of the COM
mittee are simply waiting. it was stated
to-day that Vice President Baldwin had

The RiaItO of Liverpool Abandoned
In Mid-Ocean.


New York, Feb. 19.-The White Star
freight steamer Tauric, from Liverpool
commanded by Capt T. J. Jones, r. n. r.,
arrived at quarantine at noon with four
teen shipwrecked mariners on board, hav-
ing rescued them in mid-ocean, during a
severe gale OF wind, after a delay of
more than six hours and under circum-
stances which severely tried the pluck
and endurance of some of the crew. Capt
Jones says: "On Feb. 10. in lat. 50 degrees,
.01 min, long 19 degrees, II min., a ship
showing signals of distress was sighted
from the bridge of the Tauric The course
Of the vessel was at once changed and we
bore down to the vicinity of the wreck
The seas were running to an enormous
hight, and every time we descended into
the trough of the sea the wreck would
disappear from view The chief officer Mr.
Kerr, and seven seamen volunteered to
launch the life boat and go to the rescue.
Several attempts were made to board the
ship, but were Intellectual owing to the
ugly cross sea. The chief officer called to
the men to jump, some of whom did.
Others passing line from the wreck
were hauled into the boat drenched and
nearly frozen. The vessel, which was
abandoned, proved to be the ship Rialto,
for Liverpool, laden with guano. from
Valparaiso for Antwerp"

Filled with Tomatoes and Corn.
Baltimore Feb. 19.-The suicide. a few
weeks ago, Of William w. Crozier,
prominent business man of this city was,
at the time, generally attributed to tenn
porary insanity. It developed to-day that
he had been guilty Of fraudulent prac-
tices, and it is believed he committed sui
eide rather than face disgrace.
Mr.. Crozier was the only surviving mem
Der Of the firm Of II. S. Lanfair & Co.
and a large dealer in canned goods.
Throughout the winter he was a bull In
the market, and just previous to his death,
stored thousands OF cases, obtaining ware
house receipts therefor. The receipts he
hypothecated, receiving large advances
from banks. When $4,000 cases Of goods
on storage in Browns warehouse, were
overhauled, It was discovered that over
5000 cases, supposed to contain oysters,
were filled with tomatoes and corn. The
packer says he was instructed by Mr.
Crozier to stencil the cases az contain
ing oysters The loss through this fraud
will be about $4,000. Meantime the inves-
tigation is going on, but the system Of
lending money to fruit and oyster packers
on goods in storage has received a severe
shock. The banks will not be able to re-
cover their losses from the estate.
