THE pRoposnD REPATRIATION.
Rev. R. Heber Newton and Rev. Madiso,

Rev. K. Heber Newton and Rev. Madison c. Peters Deliver Sermons on the Subjp ct.
 New York, Jan. 17.-Rev. R. Heber Newton, in All Souls church, to-day, delivered 3 sermon on the proposed ar- bitration treaty between this country and Great Britain. He said it was one of the greatest events of the closing century and the greatest blessing ever given to humanity. It would make England and the United States the ar biters of the peace of the world. Other European nations would before long apply for admission to the alliance and step by step disarmament of the Euro pean nations would follow. War would be a thing of the past and all differ ences between nations would be set tied by arbitration.
 Rev. Madison c. Peters, at the Bloom ingdale Reformed church, said
 The arbitration between England and America is the most magnificent triumph of human progress, the crown ing glory of the nineteenth century. It means that we have outlived the bar barous fancy that question of right and wrong can be settled by gunnery. It means that politicians less peacea- ble than poltroonists dare not longer endanger the peace of any country by appeals to passion or prejudice The United States senate will hardly ratify this high achievement of free popular government. To spite the president some senators would throw us out of contact with the civilized world hinder all pressing legislation and postpone the era of business prosperity.
 Teach the senators wisdom is the nations prayer, I hail this treaty as new pledge of peace on earth and good will to man.

THE SHERRY RAID.
Rev. Thomas Dixon Takes it for Sermon
 Text.


 Text.
 New York Jan. 17.-The Rev. Thomas Dixon preached to-day at the Academy of Music. In the prelude of his ser mon he spoke of ''The Sherry Raid." In part he said: Tt was a remarkable fact that the entire New York press at first condemned Captain Chapman for his action. The facts revealed at Cap tain Chapman's trial entirely justified his action. The facts brought for at the trial indicate that our society is rotten at the top, and that our social organization is in state of atrophy. "A marvellous thing about this dinner is the idiotic state of mind of those who engaged in it. Here's group of mild idiots who get together and hire one of these idiotic women who come to New York by way of Chicago to go through her performance. It is pitt fable spectacle to look at this group of simpering idiots gathered together for such purpose.
 New York city is now entirely diff ferent from what it was ten years ago. Ten years ago the idea of raiding Sherry's would have been beyond the dreams of the mightiest powers. The action of the police in raiding a place like that is the highest compliment that has yet been paid to Theodore Roosevelt New York city is not the worst city in the world. New York is the cleanest city on this continent, and Chicago is the dirtieSt.''

nE CAUSED THE SHELBY RAID.
William s. Moore, Father of "Annabelle,'' g
 Dies of Pneun Ona.

New York, Jan. 17.-William S. Moore, the theatrical agent who was the cause of Captain Chapmans raid~ ing the Seeley dinner at Sherry's by re- porting that his stepdaughter, Anna belle, the dancer, had been asked to dance in the altogether" died here to- day of pneumonia.
 Moore was taken with a congestive chill last Wednesday, but he did not notify his wife and Annabelle, who were showing in New Haven, as he did not want to worry them.
 Moore was fifty-two years old. He was at one time the manager of the Little Tycoon" opera company, and also acted as manager of many of H.. R. Jacobs theaters, and of Harry Min CTS Fifth Avenue theater, this city. He was also manager of the Imperial Opera company.
 Moore had been greatly worried over the publicity that came to him and his family because of the Seeley dinner. Mrs. Moore thinks that her husbands death was hastened by this worry. She also says that Moore received many threatening letters from some of the guests at the dinner, who threatened to knock him out" for what he testified to in the hearings before Commissioner Grant.

THE CAMERON RESOLUTION
NO DISPOSITION TO CALL IT UP IN
 THE SENATE.

Work Which Will Engage the Attention
 of Congress This Week-Appropriation
 Bills to be Considered in the Senate
 Also the Nicaraguan Canal Bill-Extra-

 Washington, Jan. 17.-Appropriation bills will demand the attention of the senate this week. The army bill has been reported, and the military acad- emy and legislative bills will be report ed from the committee tomorrow.
 Senator Morgan will probably ad- dress the senate tomorrow on his bill for the appointment of board of gov ernment trustees to operate the Pacific roads until the government claim is liquidated.
 The Nicaraguan canal bill, in accord ance With the decision of the republi- can steering committee, will be made the unfinished business Monday
 The proposition to guarantee the ca nal bonds will be antagonized by Messrs. Turpie, Vest, Teller and oth- ers
 To hO lieiiSceiOil Ol ally ihtSii- tion to call up the Cameron Cuban res olution. The utterances of MT. Sher man on this subject since the formal announcement of his acceptance of the state department portfolio are looked upon by his associates as @ request from the incoming administration that nothing should be done pending it's ac- cession to power. Several influential senators who were previously charged with being "jingoes' have, since their visit to Canton, become very conserva- tive. and no one on the republican side of the chamber is now urging action of any kind with respect to the war in Cuba.
 The extradition treaties between the United States and the Orange Free state and the Argentine republic will probably be disposed of this week, and the remainder of the time will be de- voted to clearing up unobjected mat ters on the calendar.
 In the house no program of business has been arranged, except a Virginia contested election case. It is the eX- pectation of the members of the conn mittee on rules that in the course of the week the agricultural and Indian appropriation bills will be considered.

THE BIC SUGAR FIGHT.
4 Hope That the Trust and ArbucISles vii
 Effect a Truce.

THeCI ~
 Chicago, Jan. 17,-"Unless a compro- mise is effected between the Have meyer interest and MT. Arbucxle within the next four or five days" said w. F. Mclaughlin, to-day, the fight be- tween them will be long and bitter and will prove expensive to both. am beginning.to hope, however, some of my arguments with each of them are beginning to have some effect and that the whole matter will be settled. MT. Mclaughlin bases his hopes of compromise on the fact that contin- uance of the hearing of arguments for a receiver for the Woolson company of Toledo, Thursday, was taken until January 22 at the request of the plain tiff and with the full consent of the defendant.
 The sales are being made at cut prices in Chicago. MT. Mclaughlin would neither deny nor affirm that the Havemeyer interest had been negotiat- ing with him for the purchase of his plant, but reiterated his former state ment that he had not sold and did not want to sell
 '"The lowest price I would consider" :" said he, would be at least three times the value of the business and, of course, anybody would be foolish to pay me that"

AN 4CCIDENT OR sur IDE.
Death of Rudd Smith a Well Known New
 York Newspaper Man.


 New York, Jan. 17.-Rudd Smith, a well known newspaper man, was found dead in bed this morning at the Put nam house, Twenty-sixth street and Fourth avenue, death having been caused by asphyxiation. He had gone to the hotel at 80 and was assigned to room on the third floor. He was shown to his room at once, and that was the last seen of him alive. A chambermaid passing MT. Smiths room about 8:30 detected the odor of gas, and the door was forced. The room was filled with gas. A doctor who was summoned pronounced MT. Smith dead. The gas was turned on full head. MT. Smith had apparently undressed leisurely and gotten into bed. On the table were two powders, prob ably for the purpose of producing sleep. An empty paper on the table in- dicated that he had taken a similar powder.
 MT. Smiths associates think that death was due to an accident They say he was in apparently good spirits and light hearted, and so far as known in perfect health. MT. Smith was thir- ty-eight years old and had been in newspaper work in New York about fifteen years. He was brother of Bal lard Smith, the London correspondent of the New York World.

SENATOR PLATES COMMITTEE.
Some Important Information Bearing or
 Alcohol.

Alcohol.
 Washington, Jan 17.-Senator Platts special committee charged with the in- vestigation of the question of the re- bate of the internal revenue tax on all cohol used in the arts has had the sub ject under consideration for several weeks and has taken very large amount of testimony.
 Some important information bearing upon the subject has just come to the attention of the committee. It has been learned that a movement is on foot in France to abolish the tax on alcohol for all uses except alcoholic beverages. France is moved to this by the effect of the liberal laws of Ger many, which have resulted in an enor- nous increase of her foreign commerce in articles in which alcohol is @ fac tor.
 Supplementary to this comes a pre- sentation to members of the committee of the fact that if the use of alcohol in the arts were as large, in proportion to the entire consumption of distilled spirits in this country, as in Germany, it would increase this consumption in the United States from it's present amount of about eight million gallons to one hundred million gallons. This would. members of the committee say, make a market for thirty million bush els more of corn than can now be sold.

JOHN F. ALLEN OF SUFFIELD.
He Was Found Wandering Aimlessly
 About BaItimore's Streets.

Baltimore, Jan. 1.-The man who was picked up on the street hereslast Wednesday and who maintained that he could remember nothing of his past history, regained his faculties to-day and said that he was John B. Allen of Suffield, Conn. He said he left Sufield on January ' to make a business trip to Westfield and from the time he got on to the train until noon to-day his mind was a blank. He will be kept at the Maryland general hospital until his friends come for him.
 Physicians who have made an exam ination of the man during the past few days met with little success either in ascertaining the nature of his con- plaint or the causes leading thereto. Some of the experts believe the man was feigning for some reason or other, and did not want his identity dis closed.

TO C0ERCE THE SULTAN
ENGLAND AND ITALY FAVOR AN
 ARMED DEMONSTRATION.

Germany Opposed to the Plan. the KSeiser
 Believing That the Sultan Should be AL
 lowed His Own Time in Putting Reforms
 Into Force Russia Prefers Deferring
 Action Until the Coming Spring.
 Berlin, Jan. 17.-Under instructions from the foreign office, Baron Saurma Won Jeltsch, German ambassador to the porte, has given persistent support to M Nelidoff, the Russian ambassa- dor, throughout the series of ambassa- dorial conferences held in Constantino- pie, which are now about to terminate. In the discussion of the financial and administrative reforms proposed by M. Nelidoff, however, Baron Saurma has taken no prominent part. M. Cambon and Sir Philip Currie, respectively French and British ambassador, are understood to have obtained some inn portant amendments to the Russian proposals, which have now received the assent of the European governments. The English and Italian ambassadors advocated a distinct plan of armed en- forcement of the decisions of the pow CTS, and argued that the presentation of the reform projects to the sultan should be accompanied by an explicit declaration that the powers were pre- pared to enforce them by sea and land. | The report is entirely credited in off cial and diplomatic quarters here that Ci1~D ,,Jo hnf ha of,o- 1 bassadors a. fully matured project of naval and military operations, design | ed to cover the occupation of Constan- tinople, the Dardanelles and Bosphor- ous, and also to overawe the Moslem population in the all too probable event of rising and an attempted massacre.
 In any consideration of coercion Bar on Saurma took a decided stand in op- position. The kaiser obviously contin- ues to hold that the sultan must be trusted to carry out the reforms, and that his sovereign rights should not be l interfered with.
 M. Nelidoff professed no unwilling ness to agree to the principle of coer- cion, but opposed the English propos- als on the ground that they were pre- mature and that the sultan must have l time in which to act. On this point of time communications are proceeding between the powers. The English gov ernment, which appears to think that the kaiser's opposition to the coercion will disappear if France and Russia agree to act with England, is negotiat- ing direct with St. Petersburg and 1 Paris
 | It is known here that under no cir cumstances will Russia assent to any l form of armed interference until the spring is well advanced, the Black sea ports unobstructed by ice, and the roads, railways and rivers in south l ern Russia in good condition. It is a winter of almost unprecedented mild ness in southern Russia, being as warm as in early spring at Odesso, and navigation with Nicolieff and Kherson
 is still open. But it Is no part of the present Russian policy to permit a con
 certed armed intervention in Turkey The sultan will get time and take it.

Professor Bergman to Perform an Opera.
 tfon on the Ruler of the Russias.
 St. Petersburg, Jan. 17.-Yesterday a summons was sent to Berlin for Prof. Bergman, the distinguished German surgeon, to come to this city to per- form an operation on the czar to pre- vent the extension of an osseous excre- sence. which has appeared in the re- zion of the cranium This trouble is due to the blow inflicted by the fanatic in Japan upon the czar, then the czare- witch, when he was travelling in Japan in 1891.
 His majesty was visiting the tower of Otsa on May Il, that year, when he was making a tour of the world, and was set upon by the fanatic. who would have inflicted more serious injuries had 1t not been for Prince George of Greece who accompanied his majesty, and who knocked the assailant down. This os- seous growth, which Prof. Bergman will remove, has, combined with over work, caused the attacks of vertigo, from which the czar has suffered for some time.

GARNET GOSSIP FROM CANTON.
Representative McCleary Talked of for the
 Treasury Portfolio.

AieHsuES
 Canton, O., Jan. 17-This was quiet a Sunday at the Mckinley home The president-elect rested and went to church. Webb Hayes, son of the late President Hayes, dined with MT. and Mrs. Mckinley and took drive with them in the afternoon, returning home on an evening train.
 Now that Senator Sherman has &C., ceputed the portfolio of state, the rest of the cabinet seems to center on a secretary of the treasury. Charles Emory Smith has been mentioned fre- quently in connection with this posi- tion, but another name has been sug- gested, which will also receive due con- sideration at the hands of the presi- dent-elect. This treasury possibility is Congressman J. M. McCleary of Min nesota. He attracted the attention of the president by his forcible speeches in congress on the silver ques- ton, and was here once during and once since the campaign.
 Representative McCleary is a Cana dian by birth, and was an educator be- fore he went into politics The presi- dent-elect would be glad to find a suit able man for the secretary of the treas ury outside of New York, in order that no suspicion of complications with Wall street may attach to him. Still, if the best man for the place is clearly shown to be in New York the appoint ment will be made from that state.
 It Is likely that the present week will see the president-e -elect reach definite conclusion respecting the appointment of a, cabinet officer from the Pacific slope. Judge McKenna is thought by those much given to cabinet specula- ton to be in the lead.
 An effort of great persistency and vigor is being made to secure the ap- pointment of a man from this state to the position of secretary of agriculture. The other name most frequently heard in connection with this is that of ex- Congressman James Wilson of Iowa. MT. Wilson was strongly endorsed by Senator Allison.
