THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
One Of the Obstacles to Its Ratification
Removed.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-One of the great
obstacles to the ratification by the senate
OF the general arbitration treaty has been
removed in the arrangement by negotia-
tion of plan for the settlement Of the
Alaskan boundary question. In the course
OF day or two q treaty will. be laid be-
fore the senate for its action, which, II rati-
fed, will provide the means for the final
settlement Of the long standing boundary
question.
Certain Of the northwestern senator's
have secretly opposed the general arbitra-
tion treaty because Of a discrimination on
their part not to have this boundary
question submSjted to arbitration They
felt that the territory was too valuable,
particularly since the discovery Of the

chanceits loss through Any such accident

come by repeated representations to the
effect that such disputes might be easily
excepted from the operations of the gem
eral treaty.
Now, however, by the treatment of the
Alaskan boundary in separate treaty,
just as was foretold by ths Associated
Press at Che timo the general arbitration
treaty was signed, tho whole subject can
be easily removed from the path of the
general treaty and disposed Of in advance,
If necessary. This special treaty is similar
= in terms to the usual run Of treaties, and
provides for the appointment of a COM
mission to visit the country and fix
definitely the 10th meridian. which,
under the treaty of cession to the United
States, forms the boundary between that
territory and the British northwest terri

A Happy Conference at Canton.

CANTON, O., Jan. 29.-It was happy,
social, after dinner conference that the
presidens-elect, Mr.. Gage, Ex-Governor
Cornell and Colonel McCook held in the
Mckinley sitting room last night. 1t is
evident that the public announcement Of
the settlement Of the treasury portfolio
was regarded as the conclusion of good
days work. Colonel McCook spoke most
highly Of the estimate of Mr. Gage in the
east. Governor Cornell said he was glad
the country was to have secretary of the
treasury who will have Learned his trade
before he enters upon the duties of his Of
flee. The expression of regard for Mr.
Gsge by woridngmen in Chicago inter-
views are beloved to he largely due to the
fact that ho has often mot with them and
joined in discussion of public questions.

NEW CASTLE NEWS
Correspondence Of the REPUBLICAN,.
NEW CASTLE, Jan, 90

AVE" SAol LI.t bhh, 50"
New Castle looked yesterday like the
days of the blizzard two years ago when
fireman Michael G!iffin lost his life at
. Wyoming in a snow drift. The reports
were coming in from different points
along he road about the snow drifts and
consequently very few people travelled
from this city.
The charitable people of New Castle
have been visited by droyes Of poor un-
fortunate men who are tramping from
place to place. 1t is inconceivable how
glad the men are to got admission into u
heated cell at the jail. The majority of
those who applied for lodging last night
were men willing to work but who cannot
get any work to perform. Some of them
had hardly any shoes and but little cloth
ing while several had frostbitten hands,
feet and faces.
Since Attorney Hilles at the dinner in
Wilmington on Tuesday evening called
attention to the grass that grows in New
Castles streets it Is not out of place to
state that such a condition Is caused by
hayseed legal talent wandering over the
city to get cases from the jail But MIR.
Hillcs is not in that class.
Last evening while James E. Biggs was
lighting the gas In his store window part
OF the match fell among the goods in the
window and caused fire, which broke
the large plate glass window and dam
aged the goods.
The Union Republicans were jubilant
last evening when it was learned that the
Superior Court of Kent county had Or.

The new tug Catawissa is still aground
on Pea Patch Island. The superintendent
of Reading boats came down yesterday
morning on the company's outward bound
tug, but owing 10 the low water all efforts
were futile. When the company's big
tugs return they will be halted here and
ordered to try to float the new tug.
Daniel B. Malonoy and Miss Jennie e.
Armstrong of Christiana were married on
Wednesday evening by Rev. II. X. Miller
at ST. James rectory, Newport. They

Tho peculiaritos of DIR. Johnston were
strongly brought out by twenty witnesses.
all of whom, however, considered him of
sound mind. TO one person who asked
him why he talked to himself, he said he
had two reasons; one was he liked to
hear a sensible man talk, and the other
was he liked talking to man of sense. A
woman witness testified that Mrs. John.

Il did not leave when the doctor had the

thing would come of it, l have screened
him for many years; I thought this
