werN faithful members et our loved order, LodE
No, /, Ancient Order Of United Wnrkmen. A
Tho memorial service, held January 23d, th'
chair of each brother WAS draped, bearing hi
respective name, and their silence suggested
these lines:l
Farewell, brethren, but not good.by,
For we shall surely meet again;
tod lives He lives above the sky;
And safely on the heavenly plain,
our brothers live in fields of light,
Beyond the shadows OF the night.
How swiftly sped the passing year,
And each of you were in your place,
Within our lodge room; not fear,
Or sorrow crossed your smiling face;
And now these chairs speak to us all,
That you have heard the Master cali
The rain falls gently DER your grave,
The wind solemn requiem sings;
Our hearts are heavy, and the wave,
of memory only sadness brings
As on these vacant chairs we stare,
And find our brothers are not there
And so we think, and think and think!
oh, death Thou woudrous mystery
Shall we thy poison surely drink?
Is there 10 help, escape from thee?
Is there no hope, may we not trust,
And are we nothing more thai dust?
Nature 10 hope. no answer gives;
Philosophy is more than dumb;
Science allures and then deceives.
Until the staggering brain Is numb
Great God Is man lump of clay?
10 move and die, to melt away?
oh precious voice from out the gloom.
Thou weary one, oh come and rest
Light gilds henceforth the somber tomb.
Pillow thy head upon My breast,
Trust thou in Me, thy loving friend.
Oh Trust Me to thy journeys end !"
So, looking upward through our tears.
We see the rainbow span the sky;
Gained are our sorrows. hushed our fears
And 10 The Son of God is nigh
lie is the way the Truth, the Life.
From darkness, sorrow, sin and strife
Thus as the little child is fed,
And cherished by mothers care.
We take from Christ the living bread,
And breathe His holy name in prayer;
His blood shed on the Cross for sin,
Takes all the world of sinners in
oh love untold! oh grace divine
oh Saviour of the world we come;
Thy light OF mercy still doth shine,
To beckon wandering sinners home:
Our blessed dead are safe with Thee,
Thou God Of Heaven, and Galileel

TURKEY AND RUSSIA ALLIED
An Offensive and Defensive
Alliance Concluded.
TREATY SIGNED AND RATIFIED
Based on the Unkiarskelessi
Agreement of 1888.
Turkey to Close the DardaneiIes to War
ships of All Nations in the Event OF
Russia Going to War-Probability of
France Being Included in the Alliance.

London, Jan. PA dispatch to the
Pail Mall Gazette from Constantinople,
dated yesterday, says that an offensive
and defensive alliance has been con-
cluded between Russia and Turkey.
The dispatch adds that the treaty was
signed at Constantinople and that the
notifications were exchanged at st.
Petersburg between Arej Pasha and
the Gar. The basis OF the treaty is
declared to be on tho lines Of the Un-
kiarskelessi agreement of 1883, by
which Turkey agreed in the event of
Russia going to war to cloae the Dar-
danelles to warships of all nations
The Pail Mall Gazette correspondent
says that the treaty must soon be
abandoned owing to the refusal of the
powers to recognize 1t. He also says
that the French ambassador, M. Cam
bon, conferred with the Sultan yester-
day and that it is probable France will
be included in the new alliance.
Commenting on its dispatch from
Constantinople, announcing the sign.
ing of treaty between Russia and
Turkey for offensive and defensive pur-
poses, the Pail Mall Gazette says
1--WE regard the news as true and the
result of the treaty is that the Oar
danelles is now the southern outpost OF
Russia and Turkey is Russia's vsssal.
We presume the British government
will protest against the treaty for all
it iH worth.
1.-The information ia plainly Of the
very gravest Importance. The first in
timation reached lis four days ago, but
we withheld it until the arrival of
strong confirmation, which we received
this morning This brings Russia into
the Mediterranean with vengeance
and may necessitate the strengthening
of our fleet in those waters. Politically,
the effect will be far greater The
treaty means that Turkey has realized
her own impotence against disorders
both from within and without and has
decided to throw herself for safety into
the arms of Russia She is now Rus.
sia's vassal and Russia is entitled to
dispatch troops TO any part of the
| Sultan's dominions whenever there is
| the least breach of disorder--and when
is there not,
"We presume the arrangement will
give the keenest satisfaction TO the
| Anglo Armenian section of our people.
| With them lies the chief blame for the
| complete alienation Of Turkey, though
! it must be owned that it has been
sedulously fostered by long term of
weak policy at Constantinople. ="
The officials of the Foreign Office,
when questioned on the subject this
afternoon, said they had no information
regarding the statement telegraphed to
the Pail Mall Gazette from Constanti-
nople saying that an offensive and de.
fensive alliance between Russia and
Turkey had been formed. IS

AN EARLY HEIRING DESIRED.
Tie Hoard of Health Desires the LieblE
Matter Settled Promptly.

Matter Settled Promptly.
A special meeting of the Board of
Health was held Tuesday night to COO
slider the alleged nuisance at the works
Of the Liebig Chemical Co. After the
Chancellor's injunction had been read
the members entered into discus
sion and DIR. Shortlidge exhibited some
fish which had been caught in the
Christiana and which smolled strong
Of oil This was dono to convince the
board that the water was contaminated
and was affecting the fish in the
stream. DIR. Shortlidge also stated
that he had received petitions signed
by between 400 and 500 persons who
fish along the banks of the Christiana.
A complaint signed by 220 employees
and officers of the Pusey n Jones Co,
which had been received by Secretary
Colauhoun, was read, as were also
letters from Alfred d. Poole and resi-
dents of New Castle and Newport.
After considering the matter al
length City Solicitor Harman was in
structed to go to Dover yesterday to file
cross bill, if possible, and if not, to
ask for a hearing on date earlier than
February sth, the time fixed by Chan.
cellor Nicholson when he issued the
restraining order
The board is anxious to have the
matter settled in the city court which
has jurisdiction, while the Liebig Co.
wants it taken before the superior court
and tried by jury.
A warrant which was sworn out by
Alfred d. Poole was served on Frederick
II. Ward, as manager of the Liebig
Co., Tuesday night, charging him with
maintaining nuisance, and yester
day MIR. Ward was arraigned in the
municipal court. Several witnesses,
the majority of whom are connected
with local manufacturing establish
ments. testified to the effect that they
consider the plant q detriment TO the
public health. They said the fumes
in tho air, which arc supposed to come
from the works, affect their eyes and
nostriis, and that they were not troubled
in that way until after the Liebig Co.
had commenced to operate in this COM
| munity.
District Attorney Vandegrift, who
represented the defendant, claimed that
there had been no testimony offered TO
connect him (Ward) with the charge,
and as it had not been proved that
| he was the manager of tho plant, he
asked that the case be dismissed.
City Solicitor Hartman acknowledged
! that Mr.. Ward had not been connected
with the affair, according to the testi-
mony, and the case was dismissed.
Judge Ball stated that it would
hardly be the right thing for him to
do anything while the injunction is in
force, and it is hardly likely that he
will do anything. although the city
solicitor intimated that the suit would
be brought against the company and
not against the manager.

Mr.. James NJ. Macoun was the Ca
madam member.
Aside from those men were DR..
Leonhard Steineger and F. A Lucas of
the National Museum, and C. H. Town
send, chief naturalist of the ship.
The Albatross arrived in Unalaska on
July Sd, and remained over the 4th.
All hands were landed on the Seal
Islands, and the work of investigation
began. Dr. Steineger and Captain
Moser were detailed by Dr. Jordan to
do the surveying of the Commander,
Kuril and Robben Islands, and they
remained aboard ship.
Left Unalaska July 23d and crossed
Eehring Sea to the Siberian Coast.
The Albatross was forced to go to
Hakodate for coal, after taking which
10 was found that it was too late to go
back to Behring Sea, so she made for
Yokohama to await mail and orders.
Through the courtesy of the Japanese
Government the Albatross was docked
at the naval station in Yokosaka,
where her bottom was cleaned in prep
aration for the trip across. The orders
were to return home by way of Homo
lulu. After waiting month at Yoko-
suka the Albatross went to Yokohama,
from which port she sailed for HonolL-
lu on October 22d, arriving on No
vember Sth.
The Commissioners on the Seal Is

In the upper laboratory were trian-
gulations of the rookeries on the Seal
Islands, made for the purpose of de-
termining the actual position of rook-
cries and the number of seals contain
ed therein. The previous maps were
found to be inaccurate and new ones
were prepared under the superintend-
ance OF Captain Jefferson F. Moser
who was assigned the deleniation and
surveying work of the rookeries or
the Pribyloff Islands.
LOWER LABORATORY.
Perhaps the most interesting place
on the Albatross is the lower labora-
tory, where the specimens obtained
from time to time and the appliances
used for carrying on the work are
stored. This is abaft the steerage, but
separated from it by an iron bulk
head with air and steam pipes running
through, and is situated Immediately
below the upper laboratory, through
which they can be entered. The room
extends quite across the ship, is 20
feet fore and aft, feet 10 inches be-

light and air by six S-inch air ports,
two Pinch deck lights and the hatch

Ample and convenient storage cases
and lockers are provided for alcohol
tanks, jars and specimens in bottles
Of all sizes; long work tables are fit
ted along each side; in one corner is a
Iead-Iined sink with running water;
in the other is a Photographic dark

the two is the chemical laboratory.
Between the beams overhead are
slings and hooks for slowing dip-nets,
scoop-nets. harpoons, spears, lances
and other fishing appliances.

UPPER LABORATORY.

About midships on the main deck is
what is known as the upper labora-
tory. This is Il feet in length and the
whole width OF the house. II is sup
piled with light and air by two win
dows. a door on each side and a sky
light 6xS overhead. In the center is
a very. conveniently arranged work ia
bic. square in shape, around which
four persons car seat themselves, each
having at his i1ast hand tier of
drawers which form the legs of the
table. There are also two hinged side
tables where the maps are made, a
sink with alcohol and water tanks at
taehed, wall cases for books and ap-
params, and in one corner a medical
dispensary.
II is into this laboratory that the
specimens are taken fresh from the
sea. They are spread out in a large
tray set on the table already spoken
of, sorted out and separated according

largest into tanks especially designed

petent to perform.
When the net reaches the surface
its contents are dumped into a large
tray and taken to the upper laboratory.
The handling of the trawl and the
maneuvering of the vessel while trawl-
ing is under the personal supervision
of the commander or executive officer.
In both the sounding machine, sit
uated astern, and the dredging appar-
atus, the whole idea is to relieve the
sudden strains incident to the motion
of the vessel. To accomplish this the
former is provided with springs in
columns, and the latter with "accumu-
lators."
