the Court House, and the guard was

doubled.
The next morning, Friday, Novem-
Der 81, at 10 o'clock, We heard the
drums and a regiment of infantry
marching down to the Jail, and a wa
gon with a coffin in it was driven up,
and the provost marshal went into the
Jail and brought Davis out. He got
into the wagon and stood up and look
cd around at the Court House, and,
seeing us at the windows, bowed to
us his last farewell. He was dressed
in a dark brown ovcrcoat, with a cape
to It, which had been a blue Federal
coat, such as many of US had captured
and then dyed brown. / note this be-
cause it has been stated that he was
dressed in citizens clothes. l do not
remember exactly, but l think he had
on a gray jacket underneath. He
then sat down upon his coffin, and the
regiment moved off to the suburbs
of the town, where the gallows were
built.
Upon reaching the gallows he got
out of the wagon and took his seat on
q bench under a tree. He asked Capt.
Armstrong how long he had to live.
He replied, "Fiftcen minutes" He
then asked Capt. Armstrong the news.
He told him of the battle of Mission.
airy Ridge, and that our army had
been defeated. He expressed much
regret, and said:
"The boys will have to fight without
me-"
Armstrong said: II regret very
much having to do this; [ feel that l
would most rather die myself than
to do what I have to-" Davis re-
piled:
~ do not think hard of you; you
are doing your duty
Gen. Dodge still had hopes that Da-
Wis would recant when he saw that
death was staring him in the face, and
that he would reveal the name of the
traitor in his camp. He sent Capt.
Chickasaw, of his staff, to Davis. He
rapidly approached the scaffold, jump
ed from his horse, and went directly
to Davis and asked if it would not be
better for him to speak the name Of
the one from whom he had received
the contents of the document found
upon him, adding, cit is not too late
yet" And then, in his last ex-
tremity, Davis turned upon him and
said:
"If I had a thousand lives I would
lose them all here before | would be-
tray my friends or the confidence Of
my informer.'
He then requested him to thank Gen.
Dodge for his efforts to save him, but
to repeat that he could not accept the
terms. Turning to the chaplain, he
gave him a few kcepsakes to send to
his mother. He then said to the pro-
vost marshal, II am ready ascend
ed the scaffold, and stepped upon the
trap.
Thus passed away one of the sub
FINEST and noblest characters known
in history, and in future ages his act
will be pointed to as worthy Of cmula-
ton.
The bust in the Parthenon by the
sculptor, George Julian Zolnay, is a
heroic figure, and n of the most ad-
mired works of art in the building.
Mr.. Zolnay has given the work a no.
bleness, a frmness that, while it ap.
peals to the masses on account Of
its strength, also has a softness that
impresses every visitor. It is n OF
Mr.. Zolnay's best productions.
A number of leading Confeder rates
are now raising a fund to erect a mon
ument over the spot where he was OK
ecuted. A large amount has already
been contributed for the purpose.

- 1t is said that dogs in a wild
state do not bark. An investigator
is led to believe that the true reason
for their barking was their cndeavor
to talk to man. Wild dogs howl and
whine, but do not bark. In the wilds
of Egypt the shepherd dog makes a
soft, peculiar noise, but it does not
suggest barking.

HOW to Manage Boys.

During the spring and summer seasons
the police are constantly receiving COM
plants against the irresponsible small
boy. Congregating on the street corners,
making loud noises and playing base ball
are charges received almost daily, and
these complaints give the police more
trouble than do the more serious violations
of law.
Occasionally complaint is made of the
smashing of a window, the tearing down
OF houses or of the threatened destruction
of the city. Recently q complaint was
received in which complaint was made
that some boys in Southeast Washington
were setting off fireworks in a vacant
house.
Major Moore says that some of the COM
plants indicate the probable destruction
of the city, and n morning, when the
question arose of what should be done to
keep down the small boys, he asked:
"What are we to do with young Amer
lea Are the police powerless9"
''There's only one way to put an end
to these complaints" suggested Lieut.,
Vernon.
"And what Is that ?"
drown the boys?'
The youngsters have not beer drowned
and complaints are as numerous as ever.

ARBITRATION PLAN AMENDED.
THE TREATY TO BE REPORTED TO
THE SENATE MONDAY.

The Vote Ordering a Favorable Re-
of Foreign or Domestic Policy
Eliminated From the Treaty
Agrecment-AII Reference to King
Oscar As Umpire Also Stricken Out.
The Treaty Not to Have Plain Sail
ing in the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 3O.-Every member of
the Senate committee on foreign relations,
with the exception of Mr.. Turpie, was
present this morning, when the commit
tee convened a few minutes before IL
o'clock. The entire session was devoted
to consideration of the general treaty of
arbitration between the United States and
Great Britain. Members denied them
selves to several representatives, who
came over from the House. and refused
to be disturbed.
At 1:3O o. clock this afternoon a vote was
taken on the treaty, and a favorable re-
port was ordered made to the Senate next
Monday, with certain amendments. This
action was not unanimous. and some in
dividual amendments were reserved for
ject shall come up.
The most important amendment was
that which added at the end of article 1,
the following words, But no question
which affects the foreign or domestic pol
icy of either of the high contracting par
ties, or the relations of either of the high
contracting parties with any state or pow
er by treaty or otherwise, shall be sub
to arbitration under this treaty, except
by a special agreement"
The second amendment strikes out all
references to his majesty, the King of
Sweden and Norway, as the umpire, in
case the court fails to agree upon an UNI
pire in accordance with the provisions or
article III and article V.
The vote on the final motion to report
the treaty to the Senate as amended was
so close that it startled some of the friends
of the convention, who believed there
would be practically no opposition to the
amended treaty. When the roll was call
ed the votes were cast as follows:
In favor of reporting the treaty to the
Senate-Messrs. Sherman, Davis, Frye,
Lodge, Cullom, republicans, and Gray,
democrat. Total 6.
Against reporting the treaty to the SEN
ate-Messrs. Morgan, Mills, Daniel. dem
ocrats, and Cameron, republican. Total
4.
An amendment was also offered insert
ing a clause stating in positive terms that
the Alaskan boundary question should not
be submitted to arbitration under this
treaty, but it was rejected by the same
vote of to 4. 1t will be offered in the
Senate.
The debate in the committee room de-
veloped an opposition to the treaty under
any conditions that was entirely unex-
pected; and If the minority of the COM
mittee represent a proportionate member
ship of the Senate, the indications are
that the treaty will have a hard time Sc
curing the requisite two-thirds vote.
1t was decided that the treaty should
be called up in the Senate at the earliest
day possible. The question of it's possible
consideration in open session was discuss
ed informally. 1t is understood that,
while the members of the committee be-
ieve that such a motion may prevail, if
made. no member of the committee will
initiate it. This motion, however, will
find some votes in the membership of the
committee.

Jimmy Barry and Sammy Kelly
Prove Fast and Scientific.
New York, Jan. 9O.--Jimmy Barry of
Chicago and Sammy Kelly of New York
boxed a very fast and scientific 20-round
draw at the Broadway Athletic Club to-
night. Barry was the aggressor after
the first round, but was nearly out with a
left swing on the jaw in the fifth. He
revived wonderfully, however, and forced
the pace after the eighth round.
Kelly showed remarkable cleverness,
and his advantage in hight, weight and
reach, stood him in good stead. Barry
put up great battle, and many os the
spectators thought he had a shade the
best of the argument but 1t was a very
even thing, and the decision was a good
one. The betting was 100 to 50 on Barry.
There were about $500 people present
when Barry and Kelly got in the ring at
10 o'clock Barry's seconds were Joe
Choynski George Dixon and Bob Arm
strong. Kelly was looked after by Larry
Burns, Paddy Moran and Frank Peabody
Dick Roche was referee, and Jim Lavelle

CYLINDRICAL COTTON BALES.
Talk of the Formation of a Company
With S5,OOO,OOO Capital.

With S5,OOO,OOO Capital.
Galveston, Tex, Jan. 30.-It is learned
from a very authentic source that there
Is in contemplation here the formation in
the near future of a stock company, with
an authorized capital of $5,000,OOO having
for its object the Introduction and opera
ton of cylindrical bale cotton congresses
throughout the cotton states. AS this
system of COMPRISING involves a com
plete change in the present manner of
handling cotton, it is aimed to make it an
international affair, in order to find a
ready outlet for the cotton thus put up.
The company contemplates establishing
ginning and COMPRISING plants at all
joints in the cotton growing districts
where it may expect to handle 10000 dur
ing a season. Eaca of its plants Is to
have a capacity of not less than 100 bales
per day, and all are to be of the most
improved order
The company will control the patents
covering the compressors, as well as other
machinery used in the makeup Of its Sys-
tenn of ginning, cleaning and COMPRISING
cotton, and will erect machine shops and
boundaries at the most advantageous
points for the manufacture of all Its ma
chinery. This system of baling cotton
will, it is claimed, result In great saving
to the producers, as well as to shippers
of cotton.

TRIAL OF GEN. RoLOFF.
The Court Proceedings at New York
Postponed For n Week.

New York, Jan. 30.-When the case Of
Gen. Carlos Roloff, who is accused of nav,
ing aided and abetted a flibustering ex-
pedition to Cuba on the steamer Woodall
in 1896, was called before United States
Commissioner Shields this morning. Unit
ed States District Attorney McLane ap>
peared for the government, but when ne
called for witnesses none responded. AZ
ter waiting some time for their appear
ance he asked for an adjournment until
next Saturday, which was granted.
The cases of DR.. Jose ]. Luis and En-
rique Trujillo, who are also accused of
aiding flibustering expeditions, were also
adjourned for the same reason. 1t is be-
lieved the charges against Gen. Roloff, as
far as the Woodall expedition is concern
ed, will be held in abeyance or dropped in
this district, as the witnesses We're .o-day
before the United States grand jury in
Baltimore, and it is probable that the
whole Woodall matter will be disposed of
there. DR.. Luis connection with the
Woodall affair was also being inyestigat-
ed in Baltimore to-day.
Baltimore, Nd, Jan. So.-The United
States grand jury to-day found indict-
ments against Gen. Carlos Rolof, secre-
tary of war of the Cuban provisional gov

Luis, on the charge of beginning, setting
on foot and providing, within the dis
trict of Maryland, means for military ex-
pedition against the territory of foreign
prince, with whom the United States is al
peace; to wit, against the island of Cuba. y
The CRIME is charged as committed July
8, 1895.
Capt. Hudson on that date purchased
the steamer James Woodan in this port
for $4,000 for the Cuban junta and fitted
her up as a ilibuster. On July 9 Of that
year the Woodall sailed hence, ostensibly
for Yucatan; but it is alleged that Rolof
and Luis caused the vessel to put in al
Arbor Key, Fla, where men and munitions
of war were taken on board and subse-
quently landed on the Cuban coast

found against the men, in which the
