ANOTHER ARBITRATION TREAT,
Secretary Sherman and the British
mbassndor Soon to Confer


Ambassador Soon to Confer
1t is expected that Secretary Sherman
will shortly confer with Sir Julian Paunce-
fote. the British ambassador. with regard
to the expediency CT reopening negotiations
for an Anglo-American treaty of arbitra-
ton. There is said to be no disposition on
either hand to press the subject unduly
but rather to allow it to develop along
natural lines and responsive to public senti-
ment. Mr.. Sherman made known to the
British authorities some months ago that
the President would view with favor a re-
opening of the negotiations and was hope
full that Ieace treaty ultimately would
be secured. The British officials were much
grat1ied at this suggestion. but no negotia-
tons were entered upon. Since then, Sir
Julian has visited London and has had an
opportunity to learn the views of the for
eign office as well as the state of British
feeling on the subject. All the tendencies
on the other side are favorable to arbitra-
ton, although there is a general indisposi-
ton to take Up the treaty question as long
as there is chance that 1t would meet the
same fate as the Olney-Pauncefotet treaty.

with the report.
The report was received and filed and

But this wasn't the only bone to be
picked with the fire department.. From
the health department came complaint
against the action of Chief Black in or.
dering the shooting of a horse with
suppositious case of glanders without
the authority of the health board.
The report charges the chief with
carelessness. He, it is claimed, on the
report of DR.. Forsyth, the official veter-
mary of the fire department, sent
horse to the renderers to be shot Oh
account Of it's having case of glanders.
The renderers found that the horse was
not affected and they used it for them.
selves. Later the chief caused the ami.
NAL to be taken back, and the renderers
now threaten to sue the city, claiming
the animal as theirs.
The council recognizing that it has no
authority in the matters relating to the
fire department, referred the complaint
to the grand jury.

reduction of the Fl, ,e. The report of

from their testimony the committee be-

That one of the thirteen men dis

that of the 12 men now out the average

of five years and five months and the
minimum two years with the single ex'
ception of one man who has been on
only three months; that 10 of the men
have families to care for; that four OF
them are taxpayers; that all are mem.
bers of the firemen's union; that two Of
them were on the committee that made
complaint of the decrease in "off" hours;
that the oldest was &C and the youngest
25 and the average age 80; that they
seemed to be good, healthy, able-bodied

nine men claimed to have been in good

 good first and doing our feasting after wards, but we are evidently in the minor- ity, as this custom dates far back into the middle ages. In the dark ages when people had more time and money than they knew what to do with, they began feasting on Jan. and continued through Shrove Tuesday. Each particular day had name, Blue Monday being among the number as the school children will be interested to learn. In modern times this has been cut down until now we only celebrate one day. Mardi Gras, or the Tuesday preceding Ash Wednesday,.
 "In our northern countries we usually wearing of masks, etc., but in Italy, the land of it's birth, every kind of mad folly, fun and frolic is indulged in and encour- aged. Venice was formerly the leading city, but recently Rome, though closely rivaled by Naples and Milan, has taken her place. The chariot races of ancient times have there been superseded by the racing of riderless horses and immense crowds from all parts of Europe yearly flock to these races. The throwing of flowers and confections is a lSo one of the pretty customs of these gay southern people, and many a thrilling romance has been enacted under cover of mask and merriment
 "The festival was never deeply rooted in France. Tn Germany, the Rhine coun- try being the cradle, it quickly spread to all the larger cities. The custom of or ganizing societies of "fools" originated in some of these cities. These societes would meet once a week, beginning with the new year, and songs would be sung
Birmingham state herald., 1897-02-26

and Liederkranz societies in New York have long followed these old customs, and the paper published by the former is remarkable for the wit and ability dis played in its articles, which are usually merely jovial and good-natured, but sometimes develop into stinging satire. Indianapolis, St. Louis, Mobile and New Orleans follow closely on the footsteps of their sister city, and the Birmingham Carnival, though in it's infancy, bids fair to take her place among the proudest of her contemporaries"
 HOW REX WILL BE RECEIVED.
 Following is the programme of recep- tion to his majesty, Rex Vulcan H.:
 The imperial German court and princes will arrive here at a. m., March 1, via the Louisville and Nashville railroad. They will leave with the reception com mittee by special train on the Louisville and Nashville for the south and meet the imperial train bearing his majesty and court somewhere between this city and Montgomery. The reception committee and German court will, by special per mission, board the imperial train. The latter will arrive in the union passenger station promptly at 1:30 p. m.
 The following gentlemen comprise the committee which will attend the Ger man court: B. Lesser, F. Y. Anderson, J. B. Cobbs, Rufus N. Rhodes, John W. Tomlinson, B. Steiner, W. B. Leedy and A. M. Lopez.
 Rex Vulcan II. and court, on arriving, will be received in behalf of the Birming- ham Carnival society by a committee, with MT. Joe Beitman as chairman.

ham mardi gnas of 1896 was success far greater than even it's most enthusias- tic advocate dared to hope for when the work was first begun.
 At no time within the history of Birm- ingham were so many people gathered within the city; the parade was in size and splendor the greatest pageant that was ever seem on our streets, and the Rex ball in the evening was fit end ing of a celebration of which we all have just cause to be proud. The people entered into the spirit of the day with a will. The reception of Rex Vulcan I. (Col Erwin Schillinger) was delightful spectacle to the thousands who had gath cred about the streets leading to the de- pot and was carried out without a flaw according to program; and while from early to late the streets were thronged with maskers and merry makers, not a single arrest had to be made nor did a disturbance occur to mar the enjoyment of our first grand carnival
 "The success of the carnival of 1896 has forever silenced all objections and doubts No one any longer questions the ability of Birmingham to- arrange Mar di Gras festival that can vie with the
