COMMISSIONEROF PENSIONS
Mr., Mckinley to Offer the Position to Gen
Daniel E. Sicklss.

From Canton comes what is considered
strong tip today that President-elect Nc
Kinley is going to offer the post of commits
sioner of pensions to Gen. Dan Sickles of
New York as recognition of the gold
democrats and as recognition of the work
Of Gen. Sickles In the last campaign. 1t is
said that Gen. Sickles has not intimated
the remotest desire for the place, but that
his name has been suggested to the Presi-
dent-elect as one In which the old soldiers
of the county have confidence.
The source of the Information is not from
man who has any interest in the appoint
ment. but is from a republican who would
have no objection to the appointment of
Gen. Sickles. He says that the speeches of
the latter in the House pleased the soldiers
of the country
Gen. Sickles was originally republican,
having been appointed minister to Spain as
republican. He led the-tour of the Union
generals In the last campaign as a gold
democrat ana did effective work.
hepupi1can leaders in the House who
We're spoken to on the subject today said
there could be no objection 10 Gen. Sickles'
appointment One of them, however, ex-
pressed doubt as to whether Gen. Sickles
would accept the place. He said that Gen.
Sickies health Is bad aad he would not
IKE the drudgery of the work. Gen. Sickles
IS well OF financially and would not care
Tor the salary. He thought the only con-
sideratfon which would induce Gen. SickIes
to accept the place would be his desire to
serve the old soldiers

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Ii Was Considered in Executive Ses
sion Today

AS soon as the Senate went into execu
tive session today the arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great Rr;t
ain was reported with the amendments
made by the committee on foreign reIa-
tons. The Senate removed the Injunction
OF secrecy from the amendments, as had
been previously done with the treaty. Some
discussion took place as to when the treaty
woulc he taken up for consideration. and
a disposition was shown that it should go
over until it could be printed as amended.
The Senate also took up the japanese
treaty with reference to trade marks, ETC..
the features OF which have been published.
and ratified it.
Senator Morgan, notwithstanding the fact
thdt the treaty was to go over inss ted
upon expressing his views to some extent
on the subject. After he had talked some
time. the Senate concluded not to make
public at present the amendments made by
the committee on foreign relations several
senators desiring this course for tn. pres
ent.
Senator Morgan made il very plain in his
remarks that he was opposed TO the treaty
Several senator's expressed the opinion that
the amendments, well as the treaty
should be made public, and also took the
stand that its discussion should be public
in order that the people might the ad.
vantages or defects in the Instrument, and
several senators announced their inten-
ton of giving much publicity to the
treaty as possible.

secretary Herbert has accepted an inyi-
tation from the Charleston, s. c., chamber
OF commerce TO visit that city on the
nth instant, when it is expected thar
admiral Bunce will be carrying OIL; his
plan of lnstituting a sham blockade. of the
port with all of the available ships of the
North Atlantic squadron. The details of
the admirars plans have not been given
out. nor, in fact, are they yet known at
the Navy Department. but the officers sey,
to guard against popular disappointment
that very little Of the squadron will be
seen at Charleston during the blockade
The ships are generally of heavy draft
making 1t hazardous for them TO attempt
to enter the harbor. and consequently they
in wait for the one or TWO small craft
that will be selected to run the gauntlet.
If the blockade is maintained for any
length of time 1t will probably cause the
fleet TO use the Port Royal naval station
as a base from which to draw coal and
other supplies and for a refuge in certain
emergencies. These conditions. the lying
Well out to sea of the fleet, and The use
of another port than the one blockade9 as
a base of supplies, will more nearly dupli-
cate the conditions of an actual blockade
than would be the case if the fieet should
run into Charleston harbor. The ac. ident
to the Brooklyn is deploTed by the Cffi-
GERS, who are deeply interested in this
sham blockade, for she would have been a
valuable addition to Admiral Bunce's squad
ron. 1t is probable that many of the
merchant steamers and sailing coasters
running into Charleston will be dressed
into service, all unknowingly, i.y the ad-
miral as representing would-be blockade

Comment ON the Proposed Amend

LONDON, February 1.-The afternoon
newspapers generally express great disap-

the arbitration treaty. and the Westmin-
ster Gazette hopes that public opinion in
the United States will make itself felt
before the Senate acts upon the report of
its committee on foreign relations
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
The committee is doing its best to make
way with the treaty. IL has not dared to
brave public opinion in absolutely with
holding its approval, but it has left 1t
yalueless.'
The Globe remarks:
The amendment excludes every cues
uon OF real Importance and leaves the
treaty meaningless. The most dignified
course for the Senate TO pursue would be
TO declare that the treaty mas become worse
than useless, and decline TO ratIfy it,
The Globe adds:

say OF free-trader Atkinson and his "cheap

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, the FteeTrade
"statislician," also dabbes in domestic
science aud bas given considerable atten-
ton to the investigation Of foods. His
chief object seems to be the finding out
Of cheap foods for the laboring people,
and he spends much time in recommend
ing these cheap foods to the working peo-
pie. Cheap soups are his especial hobby.
This is not at all surprising. II the policy
of Free Trade advocated by Mr. Atkinson
were to be fastened upon the country, the
working people, and, in time, all the
people, perhaps evep Mr.. Atkinson him
self would have to live on cheap food, il
he lived at all. In fact, far too many Of
the people have been forced, since the adj
vent OF partial Free Trade, to partake Of
soup cheaper even than Mr.. Atkinson
viz. free soup. But the working people
OF the country have no desire for either
free soup or fer Mr.. Atkinson's cheap
soups They prefer the high wages and
good living that they get under a Pro
tective TariT Mr.. Atknson's labor need
not be lost, however He can recommend
his cheap foods TO the down trodden cheap
laborers OF those countries where Free
Trade exists. They need them But as
for the workmen of this country, they did
away with the need for cheap soups when
they voted for the high wages OF Prolec-
tion ard gave Free Trade its fin n quetus
