MAJOR LOWRY REPRIMINDED.
Secretary Herbert Holds Him to Have
Been Careless and Insubordinate.

Secretary Herbert Holds Him to Have
Been Careless and Insubordinate.
Washington, Jan. 20.--Major H. B.
Lowry, staff quarternaster Of the ma
rine corps, has been severely repri-
manded in public orders by Secretary
Herbert, thereby escaping court-mar-
tial. A court of inquiry recently in
vestigated the contracts let by Major
Lowry for the laundry work of the ma
rine corps, and found that, although
they were let to the lowest bidder, the
price paid was clearly exorbitant.
A man named Belford, who was not a
laundryman, secured the contracts at
all the navy yards and then sub-let
them at an enormous profit, the condi-
tions and prices in the Washington
contract being similar to those at
Portsmouth, N. H., Philadelphia,
Brooklyn, Norfolk, Boston and Annap-
oils. The court decided that Major
Lowry had committed seven specific
offences.
Secretary Herbert Concluded not to
convene a court-martial for the reason
that it does not seem probable that
any further evidence can be obtained,
and the evidence now before the court
Of inquiry is not sufficient, when taken
in connection with the previous good
character of Major Lowry, to justify
the conclusion that he has been corrupt
or guilty of anything else than care
lessness and insubordination."

Chicago, Jan. 20.-The Metropolitan
West Side Elevated railroad was nlac-
ed in the hands Of a receiver appoint-
ed by the federal court this afternoon.
The New York holders Of $4,000, 200 Of
the company's mortgage bonds forced
the receivership. The company admit
ted It's insolvency and made no obiec-
ton to the bondholders' action 1t il
understood judicial sale will soon
follow the receivership and that a re-
organization will be effected in the in
terest Of the bondholders. The stock
has been selling at and there Is not
much expectation Of the holders reaIiz-
ing anything from the present condi-
ton Of affairs.
Adrian Fl. Joline, Of the New York
firm of Butler, Norman, Joline & Myn-
ders, counsel for the bondholders, ap-
peared before Judge Showalter In the
United States district court and pre-
sented the bill of complaint filed by

mortgage executed in August 1892, by

company borrowed at that time $15,-
900, 900 with which to build the first Sec
tion Of the road, issued its bonds to that
amount and secured the payment Of
the bonds by a mortgage on all the
property.
The company made default in part
of the installment Of interest due in
August, amounting to $4,000, and the
bill alleged the company would be
wholly unable to pay the installment
of interest due next month. On that
account a receiver was prayed for to
protect the property covered by the
mortgage, which is said to be worth
less than the amount Of the bonds
issued Hereunder. A judicial sale of
the mortgaged property was also asked
for.
On the answer of the company Judge
Showalter appointed Dickinson Nc
Allister of this city receiver on recon-
mendation of the compIainants. The
receiver gave bond in $4,000 and took
charge of the road. The system con-
sists of 161s miles in first class opera

MRS. FLINT ON GREEK ART.
Lecture at United Church Last Evening
Well Attended.

Although the evening was stormy a
good sized audience was present at
United church chapel last night to hear
the second in the course Of lectures on
Greek art being given In the Univer-
sity Extension course by Mrs. Flint Of
New York. Mrs. Flint has made wide
study of Greek art and spent about
ten years in Italy and Greece studying
the works of the old masters in sculpt-
ure. Her first lecture was very inter
esung and instructive, but last nights
talk was even better than the first.
The lecture was finely Illustrated by
stereopticon views presented with great
distinctness and bringing out every
point in the objects represented.
The first part of the lecture dealt
with Doric, Ionian and Corinthian col
umns, explaining the distinctive char
acteristics of each AS illustrative Of
her explanation, Mrs. Flint showed
views of these columns as found in
famous buildings, both in Greece, and
in this country.
After speaking at length on the ar
tistic features Of these columns, Mrs.
Flint turned to a description Of old
Greek statuary and showed views Of
some Of the most famous fra gments
found in old Greek ruins.
There will be four more lectures in
the series and no more pleasant eve,
ming can be passed than one spent in
listening to these instructive talks. It
is hoped that the remaining lectures Of
the course will be well attended, as the
University Extension lectures have
been started at considerable trouble
and expense and their continuance
should be now encouraged.

Nor Do ANY questions AFFECTING Foreign
Policy OF Either Government-Secretar
Made No Impression on the Members
ana doubtless the Committee win Sug-
gest Radical Amendments.
washington, Jan. 20.-Secretary OF
ney appeared to-day before the com
mlttee on foreign relations in behalf Of
the proposed Anglo-American arbitra-
tlon treaty. In celebrating his state
ment that the Monroe doctrine would
not come within the terms Of the gen
eral treaty of arbitration, Mr.. Olney
told the committee that it was under
stood by the negotiations of the con-
vention that all questions relating to
the foreign policy Of either government
We're not intended to be included IN tha
terms of the treaty.
1t is understood, however. that when
pressed on the subject of the Nicarag-
uan canal, Mr.. Olney said that if Great
Brltaln sought to make an issue on tha
supJect growing out of the terms Of the
eXlstlng Clayton-Bulwer treaty it
would probably come within this gen
eral treaty under that clause which
provides for the settlement Of disputes
between the two governments arising
under treaties or otherwise.
The suggestion was made that a
clause pc put in the treaty relative to
the elimination Of the Monroe doctrine
SO that there could be no dispute on
that question in the future 1t was
also contended that the isthmus canal
should be reserved in like manner So
far as can be learned Mr.. Olney made
no impression ON the committee. and
the committee is as firmly convinced
as ever that the convention requires
radical amendment before 1t is ratified
In reply to the criticism Of the selec-
tion Of the King Of Sweden and Nor
way as the umpire, Mr. Olney said that
article 10 fully provided against pos
sible miscarriage Of justice in that it
enabled either party to select another
umpire, either for eleven cases to arise
under the treaty or any particular
| case Everything that could be done
to make the court absolutely Impair
tial and its findings just had been ac-
complished.
Mr.. Olney insisted that there was ro
ground for the fear that the Monroe
doctrine would be attacked. It had
not been mentioned in the treaty as to
do 50 would have been impolitic and
dangerous. The provisions Of article
/ 8 relative to the method Of procedure
in territorial rights gave assurances
| that all the rights Of this country
would be carefully guarded. That ar
| ticle stipulates that any award to- be;
/ final must be made by a vote of not
| less than five to one in a court consist
| ing Of three American jurists and three
I English.
It could not be conceived, said Mr..
! Olney, that two Americans would join
the English side Of the court on any
question, unless they were warranted
in so doing by the facts and the pre-
sentation Of the case before the court
A five to one award. Mr. Olney declar-
ed, guaranteed absolute fairness ana
justice, and disarmed all the criticism
that had been directed against the con
Isvention.

The Dose Too Large to Produce Death
Cause Was Dependency.
Henry F. Douglass, who lives at 27
Davenport avenue, attempted suicide
by taking laudanum last evening about
$50 o'clock. Douglass and his wife had
been playing cards with Henry Can
ley and the latter's daughter. Sudden
ly Douglass arose from the card table
and went into the bedroom, which ad-
joined the room in which they were
playing. Douglass had been in the
bedroom but few minutes, when his
wife called to him, saying: "Are you
not gong to play any more?"
On hearing the call Douglass re-
turned. All the company detected a
peculiar odor like that of laudanum as
Douglass came into the room.
Douglass, as if replying to his wife's
question, said: 81 shall never play
cards again"
What have you done, Henry?" asked
the now frightened wife.
"You will soon find out" was the
reply of the stricken husband.
Both the wife and the Ganleys saw
that Douglass had taken some drug
either purposely or by mistake.
Il have taken laudanum,' was the
only thing the man could say.
Ganley rushed into the street and
called Patrolmen George Hyde and P.
Smith, who Immediately notified a ply
sicia.n, but who could not attend the
patient, as he was at the time engaged
on an important case. The men We're
advised to go Immediately to the hos
pital for one Of the physicians. On ar
riving at the Douglass home the doctor
ordered the officers to walk the would
be suicide to the hospital. By the most
persistent work the man was kept
awake. Upon reaching the institution
remedies were applied which restored
Douglass to his normal condition.
The wouldzbe suicides wife remem-
bered that he had raised the window
Of the bedroom during the time he was
in the room. She expected to find the
bottle which contained the laudanum in
the yard below. Her idea was not i'll
founded. The bottle, half-ounce one,
was found there. 1t was marked lau-
danurn and had the label of a Congress
avenue druggist upon it.

Respondent.
Douglass is the son of the late Nor
val Doglass, who was once a well
known manufacturer of trunks.
