TOUCHING THAT TREATY.
Arbitration Question Is Referred
Back to the Committee.

By telegraph to the Times.
Washington, March s. S.-Senator Da-
Wis, at the afternoon executive session
of the senate, made a motion to refer
the general treaty of arbitration be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, which is now on the table,
back to the committee on foreign re-
lations, together with the pending
amendments. This action was taken
without opposition, although there
was some immaterlal discussion as to
the method of getting the convention
there.
Senator Morgan contended, and
read rule IN support of his conten-
tion, that the treaty at the end of con-
gress went back to the committee,
and that all proceedings with respect
thereto must be begun de novo. This
was disputed, and Senators Hoar,
Morgan, PANEL, Teller, White and Da-
Wis engaged in the discussion that en-
sued. The merits of the treaty were
not debated, and the motion of Sena-
tor Davis was agreed to without the
formality of vote.
THE SENATE.
The senate met at noon and con-
frmed the nomination of Oscar A.
James as pension agent at Detroit,
Mich, and adjourned at p. IN. until
Wednesday.
A message from President McKin-
ley was read by Mr.. Pruden, one of
his secretaries.

Murderer.
By telegraph to The Times.
Savannah, March S.-Messrs. Charles
N. West and Thomas P. Ravene1, at
torneys for Abe Small, the convicted
murder of Jansen G. Neve, gave no.
tlce today that they are preparing
bill of exceptions and will take the
case to the supreme court. Several
days ago they argued a motion to
quash the coroner's inquest on sever
al grounds, notably that there were
only six instead of twelve jurors on
the panel, and that the inquisition did
not state the time or place where the
tragedy occurred.
They also wanted to have the re-
mains of Neve disinterred and a new
inquest held. Last Saturday the
court overruled the motion aud today
the preliminary steps were taken to
have the case go again to the supreme
court.

BY telegraph to the Times.
Athens, March SIN view of the
fact that the time allotted by the pow
ers for Greece to withdraw her troops
from Crete is on the eve of expiration
and the certainty that the powers will
be deded by King George, some of the
foreign ministers here have recon-
mended that all foreigners in Athens
leave the city while they may do so in
safety.

Washington, March S.-The inaugu-
ration ceremonies are over and the Sc
rious business of politics has begun.
There Is no more fuss and feathers,
but plenty of fussing. The terrific
pressure for office has already begun
and President Mckinley is under the
screw.
Nothing definite has as yet been
learned as to the disposition of the
minor offices, especially in Georgia,
but your correspondent has it from
pretty good authority that sweeping
changes will be made IN short order.
~ Jackson, the former postmaster at
Darien under President Harrison, will
get his old place again, and Dunn will
in all probability be appointed to the
collectorshlp at Brunswick.
The Savannah collectorship and the
postmastership will claim attention at
an early date. The greatest contest
is for the collectorship, there being al
ready four candidates, johnson, Doyle,
Devereaux and Morse, with the
chances in favor of Johnson.
The candidates for Postmaster
Haines' place are Messrs. Pease, Blum
and Sholes. At present the chances
seem to favor Mr.. Blum though it is
thought that Mr.. Doyle could get
there without any trouble if he were
to try, but he has set his heart on a
more luscious plum.
II is pretty certain, however, that
the postmastership will be offered to
Mr.. Doyle. the incumbent under Pres
ident Harrison. This will be done to
relieve the present deadlock in the
| fight for the cOllectOrship.
THAT NEW BROOM.
1t is believed here that many of the
better class of postmasters throughout
the country will be removed and Re-
publlcans put in wherever it may be
practicable. Already it is said that
there will be successor to Angus
Grovensteln, postmaster at Guyton.
Colonel Buck, of Atlanta; Colonel
Hanson, of Macon; Mr.. Leaken, of
Savannah. and others representing the
''Lily Whites" are here, trying to get
the machinery in good working order
before they return home.
Mr.. Leaken is dumb, and would only
say he had endorsed no one but Marion
Erwin, of Macon, for district attorney
for the Southern district of Georgia
Mr.. Lsaken could have had this plum
himself, but prefers to be made assist
ant attorney and retain his Savannah
residence. MIR. Barnes, of Thomson,
will probably be made marshal for this
district.
1t seems settled that Boss Buck will
go as minister either to Brazil or Mex
Ico, and that General Longstreet will
get the other berth. Major Hanson
refuses all proffers of political plums.
The candidates here outnumber the
offices to be distributed ten to one,
but as there are over 1000 postoffice
alone in Georgia to be filled, there is,
after all, considerable margin for hope.

How the Queen Dubs Knights.
(Sir Richard Tangye in Chamber
1011rrnnl \

(Sir Richard Tangye in Chambers
Journal)
Her Majesty being now ready to re-
ceive US we were ushered into her pres
ence one at a time. My turn was the
18th; hence one of my friends has dubbed
me the Twelfth knight. The equerry
took me to the door of the apartment and
then left me. 1t was lofty room, but
not very large, being perhaps 40 feet
long and of a corresponding width. The
queen was seated on a very low seat at
the end of the Apartment opposite the
door; behind her the ladies-in-waiting
were arranged in semi-circle some of
the princesses being on her left, and the
lords-in-waiting and the duke of York on
her right hand.
On entering gave my "best bow. -
and advancing few steps stopped and
bowed again, when 1 was introduced to
her Majesty (my name being pronounced
wrongly; another bow on closely ap-
preaching her, and then dropping on my
left knee, extended the right hand, back
uppermost- the Queen has great OBJ
lection to moist palms. The Queen then
laid her right hand-a very little plump
one-upon mine, and I kissed it. Then
sheitook a sword-dreadful momentl-and
smote me-ever SO gently-on my left
shoulder, saying in very low, sweet and
soft tones, Rise, Sir Richard" and l
became a dubbed knight, but not a
'belted" one, as nowadays knights have
to find their own belts.
Then caine very difficult part of the
ceremony; I had to retire from the pres
ence backward. Now, had always been
going forward" during my previous
life, and was somewhat doubtful as to
how 1 should perform this retrograde
movement I remembered the fate Of the
Mayor Of Truro, who, having presented
an address to the Queen on board her
yacht in Falmouth harbor, walked back
ward into the sea. However. I stepped
back a pace, and, having steadied myself,
bowed; then another half dozen PAGES,
bowling again, and after repeating the
opration once more, to my great relief
found myself at the door.

Rev. John Hall, a Mennonite prea cher
who is said to have prayed for some ca

brighten people into seeking salvation
had his prayer answered few nights ago
in an unexpected way. A wind storm
struck his tent while services were in
progress, leveling it to the ground and
rending it in twain. There was a wild
panic in moment, and desperate
struggle to get out of the wreck by the
hundreds of people in attendance. No
one was seriously injured though DR.

time president of South Carolina Col
lege, and the reviser of the statutes OF
South Carolina. Later it came into the
possession of Mr.. Matsel of Brooklyn.
Mr.. Conway asserts that since the burn
ing of Peale's portrait of Paine in the

portrait of the great freethinker taken
from life that is now in existence.

Russia utters a deep and significant
growl at the new British policy of I'm
perial federation and through one of its
official organs scorns the idea that such
federation will enable the British Empire
to dictate with impunity to the world by
means of an enormous fleet created by
the common resources of the Empire and
complete economical independence. 1t
would be impossible for Great Britain to
blockade all the ports of Europe and
certain number of the enemy's warships
would always escape pursuit and be able
to cut off or at least interfere with the
ocean trade of the Mistress of the Seas.
1t is further pointed out that without
allies on the continent the island power
will never issue victorious from a mill
tary conflict, and England cannot find
an ally even now. This is the fruit of
an exclusive, selfish national policy long
pursued without discrimination as to the
means to the end. A state shutting itself
up within the narrow circle of egotistical
aspirations will remain alone in the day
of misfortune and no project of federation
is likely to help it.

The same elements that fought the
creation of street commission because
it abridged their power of taking care of
their constituents at the citys expense
and made it more difficult to use the
street gang for. political purposes on cleo
ton day are behind this proposition of
Alderman Rounds to investigate. The
force of public opinion was too great for
them to withstand and they reluctantly
consented to the commission S
creation, but they have been at
work ever since in all sorts of devious
ways trying TO discredit it. We
have read through Alderman Rounds S
series of harangues in search of charges,
but the only thing in shape of charge
that we have been able to discover is
that the commission thinks itself bigger
than the city council, which means we
suppose that the commission has at vari-
GUS times refused to accept suggestions
from the patriot and reformer from Ward
8. 1t is clear enough to anybody who is
not blind that fair and impartial inves-
t1gation of the work of the commission is
not what is proposed by the chairman of
the investigating committee. His re-
marks about the commission in the Board
shows he is thorough hater of 1t and
wants to get rid Of it, in order no doubt
that he may more easily help some of his
constituents who are after jobs and con-
tracts. Furthermore, if his language were
not enough to show his animus his de-
clared purpose of holding the investiga-
ton behind closed doors supplies all that
is lacking. If he intended fair and
impartial investigation he would open it
to the public and let the public hear all
the testimony for and against the COM
mission There is no objection to an in
vestigation of the street commission or
any other city board or officer properly
conducted, but there is very serious OBJ
lection to an investigation of any board
by Alderman Edgar E. Rounds.with closed
doors. A gentleman of the standing in
this community of Mr.. George N. Fernald
has a right to demand that he shall be
heard publicly and shall not be subjected
to the risk Of having his side Of the case
as well as the other given to the public by
Mr.. Rounds whoIin this case proposes
apparently to be both prosecutor and
judge.
