N. Y, Jan. 31.-The legal
bombshell which Mirabeau L. Towns, coun-
sci for District Assembly IS, threatened to
explode to-day, turned out to be an appeal
to the United States courts regarding the
use of United States mail signs by the
A-tlantic-avenue Railroad Company on cars
which, it is alleged, never carried the mails.
Two motormen, George w. Layton and
James Dwyer. formerly in the employ Of
the Atlantic-avenue line. presented affida-
Wits before United States District Attorney
Bennett to-day charging the company with
violating Section 1919 of the United States

answer to the charge made against him
of breaking the law in making his men
work more than ten hours a day. His at
torney asked for an adjournment until Sat-
urday morning at 10 o'clock, which was

There was a lively row this afternoon on

crowd of about a dozen strikers approached
a car of the Brooklyn City Railway Com
pany that had been sent out without any
police escort, and pelted it with stones.
They drove the motorman away and gave
the conductor. named Shaw, an ex-striker. a
severe beating. Two policemen seeing the
disturbance hurried up but their appearance

nearest saloons. When the next car came

both cars with one motorman proceeded to
the ferry.

WASHINGTON, Jan. a.-Minister Kur-
inc, of Japan, was delighted to hear of
the capture of Wei-Hai-Wei by his coun-
trymen. He had been expecting to hear it,
but his first notification came through the
press bulletin. A dispatch was received at
the Japanese legation from the Minister of
Foreign Affairs saying that the peace en-
voys were expected to arrive at Hiroshima
to-day, and would be received with all the
honors decreei in such cases by interna-
tional law. Speaking of the dispatch, Min
lister Kurino expressed the fear that the
peace negotiation might fail. IF such
should be the case," he said, sit will be
entirely China's fault. We have repeatedly
stated publicly that our conferees, Count Ito
and Count Mutsu had fun powers to treat
and we have demanded that the Chinese
ENJOYS should be similarly commissioned
Although we cannot tell absolutely unit
their credentials are presented, it now ap-
pears that the latter have not power to
agree absolutely to anything. Under these
conditions we shall probably decline to treat
and in that case the blame will rest entire
ly on China"

WASHINGTON, Jan. a.-To-day's brief

declare the seat of Senator Martin, of
Kansas, vacant, was the beginning Of the
tactics which some of the Republican Sen
ators have decided on for the purpose OF
delaying legislation, and is so recognized
by the Democrats and SO confessed by
some OF the Republicans. Senator Chandler,

Programme of Democratic S~teerers.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The Democratic
steering committee of the Senate was in
session to-day trying to agree on the order
in which the general bills outside of the
appropriation bills shall be taken up and
the length of time which will be given to
each Of them. While all the details of the
understanding have not been reached, suf-
ficient progress has been made to justify
the Democratic managers in promising the
Republicans Senators that they will be able
to outline the Democratic programme for
the remainder Of the session. The agree
ment, as far as reached, provides for the
prompt consideration of the appropriation
bills as soon as reported, for the displace-
ment of the bankruptcy bill after the pres
ent week, for taking up the territorial ad-
mission bills next week and for their dis
placement by the pooling bill after two or
three days, if it becomes apparent that the
territorial bills cannot pass. Democratic
Senators generally say that it has already
become apparent that the bankruptcy bill
cannot pass. and doubt is even expressed
whether on account of debate on the APP
preparation bills it will be possible to again
get it up in the Senate. Many of them
also express the opinion that it will be i'm
possible to get the territorial bills through
and admit that this is the reason for al
lotting so short a time to them.

able time. Chairman Hit, of foreign aft
fairs which seems likely to be the most
important of this Congress next to the
two mentioned above, says he will call
a meeting for an early day There are
several International questions that the
committee will soon have to deal with
and some of them are so conspicuous
IN interest that its action will prove of
great Importance. Foremost among these
is tn movement by the Cuban insurgents
and their American supporters to secure
recognition of their status as belliger-
ents. Even if it was disposed to post
pone this delicate question, and no such
disposition is manifest, it would be diff
cult to ignore it for several reasons and
great number of petitions have already
been referred to the committee.
Chairman Hit says that this will be
one OF the first matters to be taken up.
There is talk, which has not crystallized
into definite movement, that the most
feasible plan of dealing with the ques-
ton would be to appoint a delegation to
investigate and report upon the standing
OF the revolutionists. In addition TO
Cuba and Venezuela, the Waller case
and the alleged attempt of Great Brit
ain to advance its Alaskan boundary will

tons calling for information have been

Ieged resolutions which call for consid

Newport News Wins.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The board of
naval bureau chiefs, after carefully con-
sidering for several weeks tl,eHbids sub
mitted for building battleships five and
six, has recommended to Secretary Her
bert the acceptance of the bids of the
Newport News Dry Dock and Ship Build
ing company of Virginia to construct both
ships ON the plans of the navy department
for s., 100000 each.
In the event, however, that the Union
iron works of San Francisco, the next
lowest bidder at 81, 100000 shall scale down
the bid so as to leave only reasonable
difference between their figure and the
81, 2500OO asked by the Newport News COM
pany for one ship, it is recommended that
each of these companies be awarded the
contract for building one vessel. The sec
rotary has before him the alternative
proposition to ask congress for authority
to accept the bids to build six ships. of
the Kearsarge class, two to go to the New
port News company, two to the Union
works and two to the Cramps, on condi-
ton that all the bidders shall meet the
figures set by the Newport News COM
pany in their bid, namely, S2,250,O0O for
each ship. The secretary has taken the
bureau chiefs report under consideration
in connection with this alternative propo-
Siti0n
