WILL REDUCE ARCTIC PATROL.
Popular Belief that United States is Doing
More Than Its Share.

New York, January 30.-It is doubtful
if the United States sends more than
three patro! vessels in to the Behring sea
for the coming season. During the past
year the force consisted of seven revenue
cutters. The British government in as
suming to do it's share OF the work sent
only two gunbosts.
1t is asserted that ths bulk of the work
fell on the American vess els, and as it Is
claimed that the British are aa much in
terested in the preservation Of seal life as
is the United States, the conclusion seems
TO be THAI She work should be shared
equally.
The revenue cutter Bear, it is reported,
will this spring and summer cruise into
the Arctic ocean to render such assistance
to the whaling fleet as may be possible.
During the past season the Bear reached
Point Barrow and turned over the United
States refuge stations there to the repre-
ssntatives of the whaling feet. The relief
station consists Of a couple Of stone build
ings, which in the past have always been
proyisioned for period Of thrse years.
| Each summer the Bear has endeavored to
reach Point Barrow, and to land supplies
and coal sufficient to maintain the three
years. allowance.
The Bear has Leen considerably altered
from her original appearance. She is
! filed in with solid oak for length of
Is feet abaft the stem, and her hull for
a height of five feet above the winter line
is sheathed W ith ironwood. The stem
and water line for considerable distance
abaft the cutwater is further protected
| by metal.

! Capt. Francis futile, U. S. revenue cut

A HALL OF HOPE.
Mrs. Bal.ington Booths Work Among
the Convicts.

Trenton, N. j., January 3l.-Mrs.
Ballington Booth, formerly of the Saliva
tion Army now of the American Volun-
teers, is a visitor at the state prison here
with the object OF securing members
from among the conviots for her organi
zation. She delivered gwo addresses to-
day In which she explained to the prison
ers the character of the work she was en-
gagged in. Her audience at each address
consisted of about 800 conyiots. Mrs.
Booth informed the prisoners that eight
months ago she dedicated the remainder
of her life tc the service OF the nsn and
women in the prisons of this country.
She could and would help those who
wanted to lead better lives. In New York
she had esta blished Hall of Hope in
which she expected to shelter many
graduates. She expected about 100 from
Sing Sing next April. Nearly six hum
dred prisoners declared their intention of
joining Mrs. Booths league. Financiel
help will be forthcoming. she says, for
the establishment of several homes
similar to the Hall of Hope.

PASSES BY FoRGERiEs.
A. W, West Was sthe Head of Railroad
swindling Syndicate.

New Xork, January 30 A. W. West,
now under arrest in Buffalo on charge
of having secured passes over the Della
ware and Lackawana railroad by means
| OF forgery, is believed to be at the head
| of a gang OF swindlers who have not con-
fined themselves to yietiulizing ths rail-
roads Of free passes, but have also plum
dere6 people who do business with those
corporations. West, or as he is known
in Jersey City, Burns in conjunction
with two confede1ates, named sM cKenna
and Stamengen, recently swindled the
jewellers of that city, OBJ tanning consider
able jewelry by means of forged eeTtih-
Gates. The certificates went to show thai
they were employed on railroads entering
that city. Vests real name is said to ba
Byrnes and professedly he halls FROM
Denver, Col For two years railroad
detectives have heen on his track. Dur
ing that period he has successfully oper
ated number of aliases. In January
1895, West was arrested in Chicago on "a
similar charge.
In point of general scope and area of
operation, the syndicate of swindlers OF
which, West was the head, is probably
one Of the most extraordinary discovered
in years. The foundation of the whole
scheme was the wholesale forgery by
West of orders on railways, orders from
one official to another, personal letters to
and from railroad magnatss, the indorss-
ments on tickets and the letter heads OF
companies. The passes, whicha were in
gariably obtained, were placed with the
scalpers who were in touch with tho West
conspirators. Much care and fneness
were exercised iu asking for passes, the
sale of which should be at once safe and
lucrative. The amount made by the
swindle is placed at ST.. 000 600.

The general treaty of arbitration between
the United States and Great Britain Will
be reported to the Senate tomorrow, as
amended hy the committee Saturday. In
addition to this general treaty, there ers
the trade mark and copyright treaty with
Japan and the convention provldlng i9r
the appointment of a commission to &C.
termlne the boundary line between
Alaska and British possessions, which
will probably be sentss to the Senate
tomorrow. These matters TO
say nothing of the unrestof vhe
Democrats on account of the hold
ing up of the post office nominations ty
the post office committee, will cause
more or less executive debate.
The Nicaraguan Canal bill, on which
Mr.. Morgan has vainly endeavored to
secure time for vote, still remains ur-
finished business. The bankruptcy bill
was agreed upon to follow this. but the
two steering committees have decide'i
that the Hawaiian cable bill shall be
considered first.
The aouse will devote the coming
week largely to the consideration OF az
propriati0ns bills and election cases. The
case OF George A Cornett VS.. Claude A.
Swanton OF the Fifth district of Virginia
is on the calendar. Mr.. Thomas, Repub
lican of Michigan, has given notice that
he will call it up for action Wednesday.
The diplomatic and consular and District

Goodwin $500 each to Langley, and in
return received shares OF stock OF the
company. Clifford was to be the general
New England agent of the concern !;
Wilder was 10 have the Rhode Island
agency, and Goodwin was given "all
the territory north Of the New York
Central railroad"
They learned, however. that they had
been victims of false representations on
the part of Langley and took legal means
to have him punished. Charges against
him were brought in the Municipal court
here several weeks ago and a continuance
of the case was granted. Meantime
Langley slipped out of the state but
was located at Hartford, ; Ct, and brought
back to Boston.
Langley's counsel will probably file
exceptions in the case asking for a new
trial and will have until next Wednes-
day to do so.

TROUBLE IN SHOE CIRCLES
Big Lockout in Prospect at Brockton,
Mass.

Brockton. Mass. January 31.--The
lockout at i. D. Barry's shoe factory
may result in a strike or lookout. involv-
ing many factories in this city. 1t is
possible the trouble will equal the
famous lockout by some forty ytwo manu-
faeturers of this city some years ago. Mr.
Barry requested his help to return to
work tomorrow morning under the con-
ditions existing Just previous to the lock-
out Tuesday. To-day Secretary Williams
of the lasters, and Secretary MoSherry,
visited the general officers of the boct
and shoe workers in Boston, and OBJ
tained the support of that organization
with which the local unions are affiliated.
At the meeting Of tie shop crew, to-
night, it was decided to refuse to return
to work tomorrow morning. Mr.. Barry
employs $50 hands.

WITH AMENDMENTS.
The Arbitration Treaty Reported by a
Narrow Margin.

Washington, January 30.-At 80 p. NJ.
vote was taken by the Senate commit
tee on foreign relations on the arbitration
treaty and a favorable report was or
dered made to the Senate Monday, with
certain. .amendments.
This action was not unanimous and
some individual amendments were for
su omission, to the Senate when the sub
lect shall come up.
The most important amendment was
that which added at the end of article
l the following, words: "But no ques-
| tion which affects the foreign or domes-
tic policy of either of the high contract
ing parties of the relations either with
any other state or power by treaty or
otherwise, shall be subject to arbitration
under this treaty except by a special
agreement"
The second amendment strikes out all
reference to His Majesty, the King of
Sweden and Norway, as the umpire, in
case the court fails to agree upon an um-
nj re in accordance with the provisions of
article and article 5.
The motive to strike out this clause
was carried with but one negative vote,
that of Senator Gray of Delaware.
1t was decided that the treaty should
be called up in the Senate at the earliest
day possible.
The question of it's possible considera-
tion in open session was discussed infor-
mally.
Tt is understood that while the mem.
bers of the committee believe that such
motion may prevail, If made,l no mem
ber of the committee will initiate It,.
| This motion, however, will find some
votes in the membership committee.
The vote on the final motion to report
the treary to the Senate, as amended,
startled some of the friends of the con-
yention who believed there would be
practically no opposition to the amend
ed treaty. When the roll was called, the
| votes were cast as follows: In favor OF
reporting the treaty to the Senate
| Messrs Sherman, Davis, Frye, Lodge,
Cullom, Republicans, and Gray, Demo
orat. -6; against reporting the treaty to
the Senate-Messrs. Morgan, Mills, Dan
iel, Democrats, and Cameron, Republi-
| can-4.
| All amendment was also offere insert
| ing clause stating in positive terms
that the Alaskan boundary question
should not be submitted to arbitration
under this treaty, but ID was rejected by
the same vote. 1t will be offered in the
Senate. The debate in the committee
room developed opposition to the treaty
under conditions entirely unexpected
and if the minority Of the COMMITTEES
represent pioportionate pr membership ol
the Senate the indications are the treaty
| will have hard time in securing ths
fsquisite twosthirds vote.

the greatest humbug to be found in

Mr.. Morse, Republican of Massachu

exposing what he termed "the general
stealing of seeds, books and maps, 'goinq

men were the victims and which he
claimed accounted for the supplies OF
government publications found in many
stores. Congress owed it to itself and to
the public to make a thorough and
searching Investigation of this scandal.

Thirty Families Made Homeless py
Fire in That City Saturday and Sunday
Marrow Escape of Other Inmates.
Hoboken, N. j., January 31.-This city
was visited by two disastrous fires between
IL. 80 Saturday night and this morning.
Seven persons were burned to death and
so families made homeless.
The Saturday night fire started in the
three story frame building at 410 Newark
street. Here six persons lost their lives.
They were: Mrs. Nellie Schroeder 40.
Henry Schroeder II, Maggie Schroeder I,
Kate Schroeder 9, John Schroeder 8 years,
and Willie Schroeder 8 months. The
father of the family, Charles Schroeder,
was in nearby saloon playing cards
while his wife and children were dying.
The second fire started in the five story
double deck tenement at 157 1ith street,
over mile from the scene of the first
In this fire three tenementa were entirely
wrecked and one badly burned. One
child was burned to death. She was
Mabel Mangles 8 years old.
AS near as can be determined the fire
last night on Newark street started In
a defective hue in bake shop on the
ground floor. The front rooms on the
third floor were occupied by Charles
Schroeder and family. When the police
entered the building little save the shell
remained.
They finally reached the top floor and
made their way into the front ROOM.
Stretched across the bed, blackened and
charred, was the mother and olasped
tightly in her arms was the baby Willie.
Beside the mother and bapy in the same
bed lay the charred bodies of the gi11s,
Maggie andssKate. On a mattress on the
floor lay the body of the boy John. The
body of Henry, the oldest boy was no.
where to be seen. Upon further search
tho boys body was found under mass
of debris in the ball burned almost to a
crisp. 1t is believed the boy was aroused
during the fire, and in his efforts to
escape ran into the nall. There he was
overcome by the smoke. The fire on
Fourth street started from an unknown
cause. Two families were on each floor
of the four tenement house, and all were
forced out with what little covering they
could grab. A family of Manglos occn-
pied the fourth floor. Mrs. Mangles with
her four children started for the street
which she reached in safety, with the
exception of Mabel. who was suffocated.
The loss on the buildings was $4,000.

NEW CABINET OFFICE.
Congress Likely to Create One At
An Extra Session.
WILL BE DEPARTMENT OF INDUS
TRY AND COMMERCE.

Major Has Heard Nothing from Judge
Golf and His Refusal Will Open Ques-
tion of Southern Representation Again
Nothing New on New York Situation.
Canton, o., January 31.-With Major
McKinley's inuguration a H1tle more
than four weeks distant, there stlll re-
mains a good deal of work to do in the
way of completing the Cabinet. NO word
has been received from Judge Goff, but
the conviction grows that he may lind 1t
impossible to accept portfolio. In Case
ne does not go into the Cabinet, the
whole question of Southern representation
in that body will be re-opeDed and there
will be another rush for Canton on the
part of delegations in tho interest OF the
rival candidates.
There is no light to be had on the New
York situation. Consideration of some
candidates for tho position of assistants
to Cabinet officers will next follow
1t may be stated upon excellent au-
thority that applications for appointment
to diplomatic and consular service will
not be considered until after April first.
This will not apply to important en-
bassies which will no doubt be filled
pretty shortly after the fourth of March.
1t is proba BILE the extra session of Con-
gress will consider and pass bill pro-
viding for the establishment of depart
ment of commerce and industry.
Members of Congress who hav visited
Canton have talked a good deal about
the wisdom and necessity of creating an
other department of the government,
and the prevailing opinion is that it
ought to be done.
