Canton, o., Feb. 3.-Two Maryland
booms for cabinet appointments met
here and Senator Wellington of that
state, who did not come nearer Canton
than Cleveland, is credited with having
quietly assisted in causing one of them
to drop quickly from public view. The
withdrawal of Judge Golf from the list
of cabinet possibilities caused the
friends of James A. Gary of Baltimore
to think that theSe was an opportunity
for Maryland representative in the
cabinet, and as he is Endorsed by inhu
ential politicians in all but two of the
southern states strong showing was
and has again been made in his behalf.

The Arrest of Butler in San Francisco
Cuts Short Murderous Career.

OuIB snort a Mur0erOu9 career
San Francisco, Feb. 3.-Frank Butler
the Australian murderer, who was ar
rested yesterday on board the Swan.
hilda, from Newcastle, Australia, is
now confined in steel cage in the
county Jail, shaclxled and handcuffed.
and closely watched by a guard. He
will be returned to Australia by the
first steamer. The greatest precau
tions were taken to affect his arres
when the vessel arrived. When. the
Swanhilda was sighted a tug sig
nailed to the waiting officers that the
long-expected vessel had arrived, and
that murderer Butler was aboard. The
revenue cutter Hartley, with detectivei
and reporters aboard, put off at once.
When the Swanhilda was reached her
crew was lined up on pretence of ex'
animation by quarantine officers.
Australian detectives Egan and Silvey,
disguised, stood beside the physician.
When Butler was reached in the line
the detectives sprang forward and
pinioned his arms. The warrant was
OAACA ICelu anu PAloOhOA hnhNSuAASNi
and with rope about his waist he was
taken aboard the Hartley and after
ward turned over to the local police.
The captain and sailors of the Swan
hilda say that Butler was very quiet
and pious. Capt. Held of the Swan
hilda had received warning from
passing vessel of the character OF
Butler, but had not considered it neces-
sary to place him in irons. A close
watch was kept upon him, however.
Butler is known in Australia under
vorious names. He possesses the Gun
ming of Deeming and the facility OF
execution of I'll. Ell. Holmes. Butler is
accused of various murders which can
not be proved against him, but there
is no doubt that atleast two men, Capt
Lee Weller and Arthur L. Preston,
met death at his hands. He lured his
victims to unfrequented spots on pre-
tence of prospecting for gold, there
killed them, removed everything o
value from the bodies and buried them
on the spot.

New York, Feb. 3.-The United

days, have completed the purchase Of
Fishers island and part of Plum island,
off the Connecticut coast, in Long Isl

important points ofdefense on the At

have often expressed surprise that they
were not aquired by the government

eRIDIRoN MEMBERS INDIGNANT
The Story That Congressman BOutelle De-

Washington, Feb. 3.-Newspape1
articles to the effect that Congressman
Boutelle of Maine angrily denounced
Speaker Reed at the annual dinner OF
the Gridiron club on Saturday night
last do Mr.. Boutelle great injustice, as
they are entirely unfounded. The
rules of the club prohibit publication
of the remarks of guests, which fact
appears to have been taken advantage
of to circulate stories of sensational
character. The remarks of both the
gentlemen from Maine were in entire
accord with the spirit of the occasion
and gave no indication of anything
suggestive of loss of temper. Thepub-
LEGATION of Washington dispatches to
the contrary in papers which reached
here to-day created great surprise and

Brussels, Feb 3.-The action brought
by the Prince of Chimay for divorce
against his wife, formerly Clara Ward
of Detroit, Mich, who eloped from
Paris last fall with Janos Rigo, Hun
garian gypsy fiddler, which was adj
journed on Jan. 10 for a fortnight,
came up in court at Charleroi yester-
day afternoon for the pronouncement
of Judgment. The court, after half an
hours deliberation, announced that a
decree of absolute divorce was grant
ed to the Prince of Chimay upon the
grounds alleged in his complaint
against his wife. The court appointed
the Prince de Chimay guardian of the
children. The princess will be allowed
to see them once month, but only in
The presence of a third party. She
agreed to pay the costs of the action
and $4,000 francs annually as alimony
to the prince.
Many Acts of Misconduct.
Maitre Delacroix, who appeared as
counsel for the prince, said, during
the hearing of the case, that his
client was entitled to a divorce on
the admissions that the princess had
herself made. In setting forth the
grounds of the princes request for a
divorce NJ. Delacroix said that he was
prepared to produce evidence showing
that on twenty-five occasions the
princess had committed herself, and, if
desired, he could prove facts relating
to four times as many occasions. He
then proceeded to read letters written
by the princess to her husband, in
which she offered to retreat to Car
melite convent for five years, and then
return purified to the conjugal hearth.
To this the husband replied from Paris
that he intended to retire to Chimay,
and wished to see her no more.
The Princess Defense.
M. Allan, addressing the court for
the defense, said he did not deny the
principal charge, but maintained that
all the accessory charges made in the
course of the inquiry were either false
or grossly exaggerated. In particular,
he sought to clear the princess of the
reproach of being bad mother. If,
said counsel, it was necessary to look
for the cause of the Princess Chimay's
domestic shipwreck it was to be found
In the weakness of her husband, whom
she had loved and loved still, and who
In his excessive kindness had not the
wisdom to exercise control over her.
Maitre Allan asked the jury, in pro-
nouncing its verdict, not to allow the
princess to suffer from the monstrous
charge of having abandoned her chill
dren without regret

Brockton Shoe Trouble Not an Effort To
Reduce Wages.

Brockton, Mass, Feb. AT the
conference held last evening between
the officers of the Boot and Shoe Work
ers' international union and L. d.
Barry & Co. the union proposed that all
men should be returned to work at ex-
actly the same price and under the
same conditions as when the strike OF
the sole-fasteners was ordered. Mr..
Barry of the firm said that he could
not accede to the proposition, as he had
his factory full of help and was getting
along nicely, independent of the union,
and that he would so continue. This
lends color to the belief that the pres
ent fight is against the unions in
general rather than against prices.

ARBITRATION TREATY IS SIGNED

Washington, Feb. 3.-The Anglo
Venezuelan arbitration treaty was
signed by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador, and Senior An
drade, the Venezuelan minister, in the
office of Secretary Olney at the state
department 4:3O o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, signalling the amicable ter
mination of a controversy that has
lasted nearly a century, as well as the
resumption of diplomatic negotiations
between the two countries which had
been suspended for ten years. The
British ambassador, accompanied by
Henry Outram Bax-Ironside, attache
of embassy, reached the department
just before o'clock, and few minutes
later the Venezuelan minister APP
peared with Manuel M. Ponte, jr., sec
rotary of legation, and James ]. Stor-
row, the counsel of Venezuela before
the commission and the arbitral tri-
bunal. Senior Andrade brought with
him a magnificent pen, with which the
important document was subsequently
signed. 1t was sent to him by his
brother, who, it is universally con-
coded, will be the next president of the
Venezuelan republic, and to whom it
will be returned as a souvenir. 1t con-
sisted of gold pen fastened in
holder made from an eagles quill,
bearing midway from the top a gold
heart thickly encrusted with diamonds.
While the two plenipotentiaries were
formally exchanging their credentials,
the copies of the treaty which were
printed were carefully compared by
Mr.. Bax-Ironsides and Mr.. Cridler,
chief of the diplomatic bureau of the
state department., who made all the
drafts of the document and printed the
copies. These were in the English
language, Spanish not being used, al
though the tongue of Venezuela, the
only difference being that in the Vene-
zuelan copy that country is mentioned
always first, and the British vice versa.
The British ambassador signed "Julian
Pauncefote" to both copies, Senior An
drade following, affixed his signature,
and Mr.. Cridler affixed their respective
seals. The formalities having been
quickly completed, there was a general
exchange of congratulations, which
were pressed upon Secretary Olney
with particular cordially, and before
o'clock the negotiations had returned
to Their official residences.
