NEW TREATY WITH ENGLAND
Report Of an International Conference to
Meet Here in October.
Expected That a Treaty Of Less scope
Than the Last VIII Be
Then Arranged.

LONDON. July4 21.--it is now semi-ofi-
cially reported that an international con-
ference will be held at Washington early
IN October on the basis Of John w. Fos-
ter's suggestion on behalf Of the United
States government that the experts repre-
senting Great Britain and the United
States should meet. and compare the re-
suits of their investigations with a view
of arriving at an agreed state Of facts.
Pending such an agreement, there is no
question of extending the scope Of the con-
ference to include a revision Of the present
regulations. The primary object will be
not legal, but scientific.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that v lille the statements in
the English press to the effect THAT Sir
Julian Pauncefote brought from the United
States draft of a new arbitration treaty
are untrue, 1t is a fact that Sir Julian dis
cussed the question with Secretary Sher-
man. and since his arrival here has dis
cussed it with Lord Salisbury.
There Is the best reason for believing
That the matter will be reopened at Wash
ington in October. and that a short treaty,
of less scope than the last will be ar
ranged for submission to the respective
governments.
1t is thought that the matter would not
nave been revived unless the feeling of
leading United States senators has been
previously ascertained and Lord Salisbury
ocen assured that President Mckinley Is in
favor or such an arrangement.

THE CAPITOL POLICE FORCE.
Annual Report of Its Work During
the Last Fiscal Year.

The annual report of the L. S. Capitol
police for the fiscal year ending June 30
has been prepared. The report is COM
prehensive statement of the duties and re-
quirements Of that service, as well as a
statement in detail of arrests and findings
of the court.
The report shows that 1856 arrests have
been made during the year, ninety-seven
of which were sent TO the sixth precinct
station; the remainder of the number, after
being examined in the guard room, We're
reprimanded and dismissed outside the Cap
itol grounds. The fines and forfeitures of
collateral in the court aggregate $40; ag-
greSate of days sent to workhouse $40.
Following is the number of arrests under
the various charges: Drunk and drunken
ness, 43; di. orderly conduct %; begging, L.;
vagrancy, 10: trespassing on Capitol
grounds, 10; soliciting, 3; violating wagon
rule, 8; defacing statuary, walls, etc, :;
larceny, 4: selling or offering goods for
sale. 4: committing nuisance. S; suspicious
characters. ): fast riding and driving. 1;
displaying signs. 3; insane. 3; insulting
ladies. =: indecent exposure, =; indecent as
sault, 2: fighting, 2, and % under various
charges.
The report also shows the number con-
victed by the court under each charge. 1t
appears from the report that the number
of arrests made by the police is no indica-
ton Of the work performed. They are con-
unually employed keeping order, answering
interrogatores. directing persons about
the building and enforcing the rules gov
erEing the Capitol and grounds.
The theory upon which the Capitol police
force is worked is that of prevention Of
crime and disturbances, rather than any
attempt to make a record for the number
of arrests, and in every case where the
facts will justify it persons apprehended
are dismissed with warning.
