THE RICHMOND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. JANUARY 80, 1897:

of some Norfolk, Richmond, and Bait'-
more so-called "soundmoney" men, VINO
has been here for several days making
his own fight, left for home Tonight
seemingly we'll pleased with his pros
poets. On the heels of his departure IL
is reported that charges in affidavit fQrm
against Mr.. Walter Sharp. the CANDIDATE
of the businessmen OF Norfolk. VINO mas
been endorsed by Representative Iyier
and the two Virginia senators. have peeh
filed i'm the Post-Ofice Department. Inc
next announcement made Is that MT.
Sharp will be here tomorrow TO answer
and refute these charges. Representa-
tive Tyler called upon the Postmaster
General to-day In behalf Of Mr.. Sharp
and was informed that the matter was
still under consideration, and that no
action had yet been taken.
The opinion prevails here that the con-
test "a assuming such n bitter and per-
sonal shape that some other candidate
for the place may be presented TO the
Postmaster-G General for his recommended
ton.
Representative Tyler has reappointed
Fielding r. Marshall OF Portsmouth. a
cadet at the West Point Military Aca-
denny and Marshall Parks Page, of Nor
folk. as alternate.
Colonel James f. Boyd, Of Greensboro
n. c.. is prominently mentioned I'm con-
neotion with an appointment I'm Mckin-
ley's Cabinet Senator Pritchard. ac-
companied by the Republican members OF
the North Carolina delegation. and other
prominent North Carolina Republicans,
will leave here for Canton next week, to
call on the Presidentelect in his behalf.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Petitions for It's Ratification from
London and Philadelphia.

WASHINGTON. January Ex-senator
Sherman, chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations. has received a petit
ton from the British Arbitration So
ciety, Of London, which that organiza-
tion asks him to lay before the Senate.
The petition is similar 10 many that
have been received from American So
cieties. and urges the ratification Of the
proposed general treaty of arbitration
as the first step between the two great
est nations of the earth towards univer-
sal peace.
Unfortunately for the British associa-
ton. II was ignorant of the provisions
of the United States Constitution when
it addressed its petition either to Con-
gress or to any individual member
thereof. The receipt of petitions or
memorials to Congress from aliens is
prohibited unless the same come through
the State Department. Senator Sher-
man cannot. therefore. present this petit
ton to tho Senate. He will lay it before
the committee AT the special meeting to-
morrow evening. where it will. Mr.. Sher-
man says receive all due consideration.
He declines to make its text public or
discuss the petition in general terms,
even.
A petition deliberately printed on
parchment. and signed by an even hun
dred of the leading citizens of Philadel-
phia, was presented TO the Senate this
morning. 1t urges the Senate TO ratify
the treaty of arbitration now pending
between this country and Great Britain.
The memorial is signed by Mayor War
wick the judges of tho various courts;
ex-senator Edmunds formerly of Yer
mont. and bankers and capitalists rep
resenting money values way up in the
millions. The memorialists state that
they represent the sentiment of the
community when they urge the prompt
ratification of the treaty for the arbi-
tration of all questions that cannot be
settled by the ordinary process of di-
plomacy. II is denied in the memorial
that the treaty would expose us to any
disadvantage in connection with the
various questions calling for settlement
in the near future, because the treaty is
only tentative and limited in its scope.

ship Indiana of the eophone, new device
designed to prevent collision during fogs

device was also successfully tested In
coastwise service on board two of the
steamers of the Old Dominion Line during
the recent heavy fogs off the Virginia
coast II proved its efficiency thoroughly
The eophone is placed on top of the
pilot-house of a vessel. and by ITS as
sistance sounds inaudible to the human
ear may readily be detected and ac-
curately located. By this means vessels
will be enabled to hail each other when
even invisible in fog or darkness, and 1T
