STREET-CAR TROUBLES.
Those of New York and Philadelphia
Closely Linked.


PHILADELPHIA April S.-The
street car troules of Philadelphia and
New York are closely linked. From
what could be gathered here to-day it
is likely that there will no strike in
New York, but that the agitation will
be transferred to Philadelphia.
ICwin B.rne, President of the local
branch of the Amalgamated Association
of Street Railway Employees, went to
New York and saw President Mahon
to-day. The object of the visit was to
have Mahon modify the terms of the
ultimatum which the Amalgamated
Association is to submit to the Union
Traction Company. One clause of this
ultimatum requires the traction company
to recognize the association. The lead
ers of the association know full well
that the traction company Will fight
this demand to the death. Therefore
Mr. Byrne went to New York to see
President MahOn and have him erase
this demand in the ultimatum This
President Mahon consented to do.
Despite the admission of the local
leaders of the Amalgamated Assocla-
ton that the American Railway Union
had become affiliated with the street
railway men, Mr.. Mahon authorized
Byrne to deny the affiliation. The local
leaders of the great railway brother
hoods also denied that they had any
intention of affiliating with the Ameri
can Railway Union

trade for the expulsion of all Christian
missionaries from Armenia, and urg-
ing the British Government to make
every attempt to prevent such a step
being taken. The resolutions also re-
quested the Government to make i'm
mediate efforts to obtain the release of
Rev. George P. Knapp, the American
missionary, who was ordered to pro-
ceed from his station at Bitlis to Con-
stantinople to answer charges of sedi-
ton and murder made by Turkish Off

existence of country stores in that re-
glon meant that there were no thieves
there, or that the thieves had been over

from this that where there were priests
there were churches, and where there
were churches there were pannle bnt

paign as being an imitation of that of
the Duke of Alva in the Netherlands,

same. May he exclaimed, Cuba is

lost. There is no more chance on the
face of things to-day for the re-estab-
lishment of the French dominion in San

AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS.
Ballington Booth Addresses Large
Audience at Chicago.

CHICAGO, April S.-Willard Hall, in
the Woman's Temple, was jammed at
neon to-day with people who came to
hear Ballington and Maud Booth. the
commanders of the Volunteers, they
having been invited by the Women's s
Christian Temperance Union to address
the usual noon hour meeting. The motto
of his address was Our God, Our Coun-
try and Our Work. He was followed
by Mrs. Booth, and the hearts of those
crushed to see and hear the noted Sal
vationists were touched by her tender
ness and pathos. No reference was made
to the old army.
Although apparently wearied by their
exertions since leaving New York. the
commander and his wife addressed an
other immense audience tonight at the
Oakland Methodist Church.
Miss Eva Booth was in a happy mood
when seen at the Salvation Army head
quarters this morning, and spoke un-

SEIZURE OF CANADIAN SHIPS.
Subject of Consideration in an Execu-
tive Session of the Senate.

Subject of Consideration in an Execu-
tive Session of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April S-The execu-
tive session of the Senate this afternoon
was brief and was devoted to the recep-
tion of report from. Sherman, Chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
items, on the treaty now before the Sem
ate relating to the appointment of a
commission for the assessment of dam
ages growing out of the seizure of the
Canadian vessels for violations of the
regulations relating to the Behring Sea
seal fisheries.
Sherman reported few amendments,
which were ordered printed. The treaty
will be taken up in a few days. Objec-
tion was made to its consideration on
eccount of the illness of Senator Nor
gan, although Sherman stated that the
State Department was very anxious to
have the matter disposed of.
The text of the treaty will not be
changed in any material manner. An
addition Of four vessels not included in
the statement Of facts submitted to the
Paris tribunal, and which were thrown
out by the committee, have been per-
used in the treaty has, however, been
expurgated, for the reason that the
committee does not agree with the claim
OF the British ambassador that the
Paris tribunal made any award in con-
nection with this matter. On the con-
trary, they contend that the question of
damages was not before the tribunal,
and that high court of arbitration ex-
preSsly declined to consider any ques-
ton relating to damages. Believing
that the word award if permitted to
stand, therefore, may lead to confusion,
the committee has reported in favor of
striking it out and changing the text re-
lating to the statement of facts 50 as TO
read: GAS found by the Paris tribunal" :"
instead Of las found by the award of
the Paris tribunal" etc.
The only other amendment of conse-
quence is one that provides that the
commission may sit either in Vancouver
or San Francisco, the nal draft of
the convention stipulstr hat the ses-
sion shall be held in Va ouver. Should
the illness of Morgan (who it may be
stated is antagonistic to any treaty. be
prolonged, it is believed that the matter
will be taken up and disposed Of for the
State Department has been urging
speedy action, owing to the presence in
Washington of Sir Stafford Northcote,
who is understood to he the English
member of the commission to be au-
thorized by the treaty. The season for
sealing is so far advanced that there is
also an additional reason why the mat
ter should be disposed of at the earliest
moment
