Trenton, n. J., Jan. 31.-Mrs. Bal
lington Booth, formerly of the Saliva
ticn army, and head of the American
volunteers, is a visitor at the state
prison here, with the object of securing
members from among the convicts for
her organization. She delivered two adj
dresses, one this morning and the other
in the afternoon. in which she eX-
planned to the prisoners the character
of the work she was now engaged in.
Her audience in each address consisted
of about 500 convicts, and there were
present besides, as invited guests, Mrs.
Emily Williamson of the State Char
ties Aid association; Mayor Yard, of
Trenton; Senator Voorhees,, of Union
county; Speaker Macpherson. of the
house of assembly, and a few others.
Mrs. Booth informed the prisoners that
eight months ago she had dedicated
the remainder of her life to the service
of men and women in the prisons of
this country. She loved them and
could and would help chose who wanted
to lead better lives. There were outside
the prisons many people worse than
those inside. Her organization she ex-
planned, was the Volunteer Prison
League. Homes would be established
for eX-prisoners or graduates" as she
preferred to call them and detectives
and policemen would not be permitted
to cross their thresholds. In New
York she had established a Hall of
Hope, in which she expected to shelter
many graduates
She expected about 100 of them down
from Sing Sing next April.
Rev. George Maddox, chaplain of
the state prison and the prison quar-
tette. took part in the exercises and
nearly 800 prisoners declared their in
tention of joining Mrs. Booths league.
Tomorrow, Mrs. Booth will go into
the cells of the prisoners for individual
work. which is even more effective. She
intends visiting, in turn, all the great
prisons. Financial help will be forth
coming, she says, for the establishment
of several homes similar to the Hall of
Hone

his wife. Yesterday his hotel was dis
covered to be on fire in three differ
ent places at the same time, and be-
fore assistance could be obtained it

a cistern which was in the basement
of the hotel. Alongside of the body
was found Haug's revolver, with one
that he first fired the hotel in the
basement and at two places in the

His Theme Was Liberty"

Fort Monroe, Va, Jan. S1.-Founder's
day, the birthday of the late General
S. c. Armstrong, founder of the Hamp-
ton institute, in Virginia, was cele-
brated at the school yesterday evening
by exercises in which the students,
negro and Indian, took part, and today
by an address by Professor Woodrow
Wilson of Princeton university. He
took for his theme Liberty liberty
according to its meaning in different
ages and by different people, and as it
is understood today by the most en-
lightened people. His tribute to Cen
eral Armstrong; character and work
was simple and graceful, and as a
native himself of Virginia, he
claimed, if not of General Arm
strong's birth. his life work was
for the state already noted for
it's great men. The Rev. DR.. Nc
Vickar of Philadelphia spoke in the
evening. Quite a large party from
Philadelphia was present and many
from Fortress Monroe and the town of
Hampton.

BOLT TRUST BUSTS.
Prices Have Fallen Twenty Per
Cent Within Three Days.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-A morning paper
says: The bolt trust has collapsed and
prices have fallen 20 per cent within
the last three days. The market is still
demoraliZed with values uncertain and
irregular and there are prospects of still
further decline next week.
The bolt trust included in its control
the manufacturers of machine and car
riage bolts and nuts and lag screws. 1t
was formed shortly after the nail trust
and J. II. Parks. of Boston, as com
missioner" drew a subsidy of ) cents
a keg on the entire output of the manu-
facturers as long as prices We're main
tanned. Though the combination adj
vanced prices 80 per cent it did not so to
the extortionate lengths of its sister or
ganization and for that reason has lived
longer.
The Shovel trust which was formed
about the time of the bolt agreement is
still working satisfactorily. Prices are
30 to- 100 per cent higher than before
the agreement was formed. but it is gen
erallv conceded that the shovel and
spade men now in the combine were los
ing money at the prices which prevailed
previously. The plant of a Pfttsburg
manufacturer, the largest in America,
which burned down just before the trust
formed. has been rebuilt put has not
been put in working order. In trade
circles it is known that the trust pays
to keep the plant idle. and. as a local
dealer expressed it. the plant makes
money but no ShoVelS.

A Mill In Washington.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 31.-Bud Evans
of Portland and Jack Hayes, once of
Salt Lake, well known middle-weight
pugilists, accompanied by a steamer
load of local sports. left this after
noon, with the intention of having a
finish fight at point beyond the juris-
diction of the state of Oregon. The
mill took place on the Washington side
of the Columbia river, about eight
miles below Vancouver.
In the eleventh round Hayes delib-
erately fouled Evans and the fight
was declared a draw amid much COR
fusion. A local gambler refereed the
fight, and knew nothing of the Queens
bury rules.

A M. P. Resigns.

London. Jan. 31.-Sir George Otto
Trevelyn. NJ. P, for the Bridgeton divis-
ion of Glasgow. has resigned his seat
in the house of commons owing to III
nealth. Sir George has been a promi-
nent figure in politics for many years.
and his retirement will be severely felt
by the Liberal party. From 1868 to 1870
he was a lord of the admiralty. and later
became secretary to the admiralty. In
May. 1852. he was appointed chief secre-
tary for Ireland and two years later
was made chancellor of the duchy of
Lancashire with 4 seat in the cabinet.
He was first elected to parliament in
1860 when he was returned from Tyne
mouth. Though a liberal he opposed the
home rule bill in 1856 and was defeated at
the ensuing general election. Subsequently
he changed his belief regarding home rule
for Ireland and in 1887 was elected from
the district he has since represented.

SPANISH WEST INDIES.
Queen Regent Christina Agrees to
Grant Reforms.

London. JAN 31.-The Standards
Madrid correspondent telegraphs that
Queen Regent Christina will on Thurs
day next sign at a meeting of the cab
met the prime minister's scheme for
reforms in the Spanish West Indies.
The scheme was devised after several
conferences with the leading conserya-
tive senators and the Marquis de
Apezteguia, the leader of the Cuban
conservatives, who is now in Madrid.
The reforms will go into operation in
Cuba as soon as the pacification of the
island will permit. The scheme will
state that the government is willing to
entertain suggestions as to West In
dian tariff reforms and the subsequent
Improvement of commercial relations
with the United States. The whole
matter will be handled cautiously. The
correspondent adds that it would be
premature to suppose that the scheme
will effect in Cuba autonomy similar to
that enjoyed by the Australian
colonies and the Dominion of Canada.

Outlaws Are Doubtless Known.

Roseburg, Or. Jan. Sit is believed
by the authorities that the outlaws
engaged in Thursday nights Southern
Pacific hold-up near here are in town.
The outside search for the present has
been abandoned, and the suspects are
being so closely Swallowed that it is
impossible for them to get away. To-
day the fact was also disclosed that
during the past week considerable dyn-
amite was stolen here, which presum-
ably was used in the contemplated
robbery.
The authorities will give nothing fur
Their for publication for prudential rea-
sons, but it is believed that the out
laws belong in this locality and that
sufficient evidence will be accumulated
in a few days to warrant arrests.

Many Bets Made.

New York, Jan. 91-There have been
several large bets made on the coming
fight since its location was decided
upon. Some even money has been
wagered, but as a general rule Corbett
is the favorite' of the big betters and
his admirers are compelled to lay odds
in order to get their money down.
The best wager on the battle recorded
to date was made by Joe Vendig, who
laid $1,000 even with a prominent
wholesale dry goods merchant. AL
Smith put up $1,000 to 500 with noted
physician at Delmonico's on Thursday
night.
There is plenty of Corbett money in
sight to wager at the prevailing odds
of 10 TO Z. 1t is said that Al Smith
has been commissioned to bet $4,000 at
this price, while johnny Kelly has
$1,000 from a bookmaker, J. E. McDon-
aid, who sailed for England last We'd
nesday.

ARBITRATION TREATY.
1t Is Alleged to Be Highly Objection
able to the Administration.

! New York, Jan. 31.-The Herald
prints a lengthy special from Washing
/ ton, in the course of which it says 1t
| can be asserted. upon high authority.
| that the Anglo-American arbitration
| treaty, as amended by the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, is highly
! Objectionable to the administration.
! If the treaty in it's proper amended
shape is ratified by the senate, it will
not be proclaimed during the present
administration here or during Lord
Salisbury's incumbency of office in En-
I gland. Such at least, is the opinion OF
| leading members of the administra-
ton, who, recognizing that Lord Sal
iSbUry has already made considerable
political capital for himself out of the
/ fact that he was able to successfully
negotiate a treaty with the Cleveland
administration, will have nothing to
| lose by refusing to accept amendments
made by the senate, purpOsely made
Objectionable to Great Britain.
The amendments will be opposed by
the administration, not only because
they destroy the vital parts of the pro-
posed treaty, but because the state de-
partment is morally certain that if the
treaty goes to Great Britain in its
presented amended form it will be
turned down and a long time may
elapse before the United States will
ever again have the opportunity of Sc
curing peace on such easy terms. II is
not definitely known whether Secretary
Olney or Sir Julian PauncefOte have
conferred regarding the amendments.
but there is positive knowledge that
the administration officers have aban-
doned all hope of acceptance of the
treaty by Great Britain, if ratified in
its amended form.
1t may also be stated that whatever
influence the administration has been
and will be eXerted toward securing a
return to the original draft submitted.
The whole vitality of the treaty has
been stricken out in the opinion of
administration officials. The changes
made by the foreign relations commit
tee prove to be more radical than at
first given out. The whole of article
VII was stricken out and a substitute
inserted still further limiting the scope
of the treaty.
A substitute for this article provides
that in case any claim which may arise
contains a disputed question of prin-
ciple it shall not be referred to a tri-
bunal appointed under the terms of the
general arbitration, except by special
agreement.
