OPPOSED TO ARBITRATION
IRISH NATIONAL ALLIANOE ISSUES
 PETITION TO THE SENATE.

Declares That Advocates of Arbitration
 Treaty Here Are Modern American Tories
 and Descendants of Men Who Would
 Have Hanged Washington-Bishop
 Doane Denounced.
 New York, Nov. 26.--A petition to the United States senate was issued to-day from the headquarters of the Irish Ma tional alliance in this city against the adoption of the proI osed general treaty of arbitration with England. The peti- ton will be circulated by the various councils of the alliance throughout this country, the Ancient Order of Hiber- nians and other Irish-American socie- ties.
 The petition says that the advocates of the arbitration treaty here are the modern American Tories, descendants of the men who would have hanged Washington, among the number being Bishop Doane of Albany, N. Y, well known supporter of the defunct A. P. A., who upon returning from a con- ference in Lambeth palace, London, &C., tually urged that our history should be falsified so that young Americans might grow up in the love and fear, not of God, but of England.
 The petition further says that no more entangling alliance than the sign- ing of the treaty could well be imag- ined and Washington and the founders of this great republic have solemnly warned us against such a danger. In conclusion the petition says:
 Animated, therefore, with the sin cerest love of our country, the pro- foundest respect for her institutions and loyalty to her interests, and believ- ing that any treaty with England, such as proposed is and cannot be but inimical to her honor and integrity, a menace to her best interests, more es- pecially to that peace which is her heritage we appeal to repudiate and cast out from your honorable chamber all proposals to enter into a general agreement with Engdand, as an insult to the nation and to your patriotism. {"

REPR1MAND FOB CAPT. LOWERING,
Court-MartiaI Finds Him Guilty of Cruelty


 to Private Rammond.
 Chicago, Nov. 26.--On the authority of man who is in position to know, the exact verdict of the court-martial which completed it's labors in the case of Cap tain Leonard A. Lowering of Fort Sher- idan, charged with brutal treatment of Private Hammond, is as follows:
 '"The finding of the court-martial is that the accused is guilty as charged in the specifications and
 That he be reprimanded by the re- viewing authority. The court is thus lenient in view of the good character of the accused, as shown in the evil dence."
 It took the court-martial one hour to reach it's decision. The first ballot re- suited in seven members of the court martial voting guilty" and five mot guilty" The usual court-nartial Is composed of thirteen members, but Ma jor Randolph, who had been detailed to attend, was unable to do so, and so twelve men sat as jury to decide the fate of Captain Lowering.
 There was vigorous effort made to have those parts of the specifications charging Captain Lowering with "cruel- ty" and brutality" stricken out, but 1t was finally decided to consider the charges as they were set forth in the specifications, and the decision was reached without making the changes.

PROF. WHEELER'S STATEMENT.
He Says Cornell Has Received no ChaI.
 lenge from Yale.

lenge from Yale.
 New York, Nov. 26-Professor Benia- min I. Wheeler the advisory member of the Cornell Athletic council, is in the city. It is understood that Professor Wheeler had come to New York to con- fer with some Yale parties relative to the challenge which Yale is reported to have decided to issue to Cornell for uni versity boat races next season. Profes- sor Wheeler said:
 q am not here to see any Yale par ties. Yale has not as yet sent our ath- letic council any challenge for boat race, although it is known that Yale alumni are talking of the advisability of such a step. I am here to confer with Cornell alumni whom I may meet and to secure their opinion as to what will be Cornells best policy in case such a challenge is received by us.
 ''Tf Cornell rows Pennsylvania and Columbia, as has been her custom in recent years, it will be unfair to add to this the burden of a race with Yale and Harvard, each singIy, making in all three races for us. Yale prefers the New London course. Cornell has been is better than Poughkeepsie Cornell will the best opportunity for a fair race, but if any other course is suggested which is better than Poughkeepsei Cornell will be for that. Cornell, being the champi- on this year, will not issue any chal- lenges, but will be willing to row any one who will row with her and impose no unfair conditions"

UGLY SCENES IN RH1oHsRArH.
Mark Twain Among Those Expelled from
 the Galleries.


 Vienna, Nov. 26.-After many ugly scenes which the police were called to quell during the morning, the lower house of the reichsrath re-assembleu this afternoon. The reappearanca of the president was greeted by storm of abuse, the slamming of desk lids, whistling, etc. He repeatedly tried to address the Leftists, but his voice was inaudible amid the uproar, the only ar ticulate sounds distinguishable being cries from the Leftists of Out with the police" Dr. Wolff, the German nation alist leader, as yesterday, contributed prominently to the uproar. He kept blowing a shrill whistle and was finally suspended by the president. So soon as the Leftists realized what had occurred they burst out into a state of unbridled fury, shrieking insults at Dr. Abraha- moics. Herr Dasynsld socialist dep- uty yelled out: You ought to be in jail"
 In spite of this disgraceful scene and the insults hurled at him the presi- dent was apparently unmoved, but when he recognized that it was use- less to make any further attempt to transact business, he quietly spoke a few words to police officer near him and then suspended the sitting amid deafening and vociferous cries of shame" from the Leftists and ap- plause from the Rightists. The sub stance of the few words spoken to the police officer by the president soon be- came apparent, for an officer and four policemen arrested Dr. Wolff and re- moved him by force in spite of consid- erable opposition upon the part of his clique. The house finally adjourned un- til tomorrow.
 Large crowds gathered this evening between the university buildings and the parliament houses owing to an an- nouncenent that the students contem- plated a demonstration. This, how ever, was prevented by the police, who promptly dispersed the students gath erings. They made more than forty ar | rests After o'clock the aspect of the street became more threatening. A crowd of ten thousand. including a large number of students, assembled and threatened the government with revolution and Count Badeni. the pre- | mier, with the guillotine. An attempt was made to attack Count Badeni's house. The police repeatedly charged the crowd, but refrained from using arms. The students resisted with sticks. Two inspectors were severely injured. | MT. Samuel l.. Clemens (Mark Twain) was among those expelled from the gal 1 lery of the unterhaus to-day.

The Cuban Constituent Assembly Issues 8
 Determined Proclamation.
 New York, Nov. 26.-The Cuban con- stituent assembly which met recently at Camaguey to remodel the constitution and elect a new president, issued a manifesto which reached the officer of the Cuban junta here to-day. The doc- ument is dated at La Yaya. October g., 1897, ard is signed by Domingo Mendez Capote, as president of the assembly. The document says that the assembly, before adjourning, deemed it it's duty to proclaim, among other things that:
 NO special laws, no political reform or autonomy nothing in short that the Spanish government will be willing to grant which may mean Spanish sover- eighty over Cuba, will be accepted by the Cubans as a settlement of the war. Independence or death is and shall be the unalterable and sacred motto of the Cubans.
 "The Cubans have not resorted to arms in order to obtain any political measure which does not once and for all solve the Cuban question. That is the reason we shall accept nothing short of absolute independence. We are firmly determined to carry on the war until victory or death crown our efforts"

HIS FAMILY GREATAY EXCITED,
It Was Believed That John Kirk Was
 Burned to Death.


 Danbury, Now 26-The family of John Kirk, a well-to-do farmer living in Mill Plain, was thrown into great excitement tonight by a fire which de- stroyed the barn and also, as 1t was thought, consumed Mir Kirk in the ru- ins. After the barn had been wholly destroyed a search was instituted by the police and neighbors among the ru- ins to find if possible any of his re- mains, but after they had about given up the search MT. Kirk himself ap- peared on the scene. How he managed to escape from the barn, and where he had been during the fire, he failed to explain.
 It is said that he returned home some- what under the influence of liquor and soon after going out to the barn one of his boys discovered the fire. The fire was in the hay loft and the young lad tried in vain to reach it to rescue his father, whom he believed to be up there The flames, however, drove him back and it was believed by the family that the father was burned to death. Mrs Kirk completely collapsed and in the excitement the house also came near being burned. The damage is about $1.- ZOO.

 Farmer's Wife.

Farmers Wtfc.
 Montreal, Nov. 26.-Monday morning last the dead body of Isidore Poirier a farmer, was found in his house at St.. Canut He had undoubtedly been mur- dered, his body showing many stab wounds and his throat having been cut. Mrs. Poirier, when questioned, said that her husband had killed himself. The woman at first made a great showing of grief, but later treated the matter lightly. Detectives were sent for, and yesterday Mrs. Poirier and Samuel Parslow, who had been paying atten- ton to her, were arrested, charged with the crime. To-day Parslow made full confession.
 In his confession he says that on Sum day evening, urged on by Mrs. Poirier, he stabbed her husband with a butcher knife. Poirier was in bed asleep at the time. He does not remember anything of what happened after the first stab until he found himself at his brothers house some distance away. Mrs. Poir- fer, in a statement absolutely denies any complicity in the affair. She claims that she was at her fathers house at the time that Parslow says he stabbed her husband.

 Judge McMahon in charging the jury said that there was no evidence that the defendant forged the note, but the fact of her delivering it would make her guilty of forgery in the second de- gree. The jury then retired. Two hours later the jury returned and an- nounced they were unable to agree up- on a verdict. They were then discharg- ed. They stood seven 70 five for ac- quittal.

MERCHANTS CoMMIrrEE MEETING

 The committee of business men, ap- pointed at the meeting or merchants Of the city last Monday night, to devise plan or plans for divesting the city ot the trading stamp and coupon sys- rems, held conference in the parlors of the Tontine hotel yesterday after iloon at o'clock.
 Several feasible plans for accomplish ing the desired purpose were submitted but no definite action was taken re- garding any of them, and another meeting of the committee will needs be held before O final decision will be made. This meeting must be held be- fore Monday night, when the merchants will in open meeting agaIn consider the question.

 Another more likely plan is that a stamp system be operated by the mer- chants association, and this would pre- clude third persons from reaping the benefit, as is now the case.

Capt. Goodrich of Harvard Receives Word
 to This Effect from Yale.
 Cambridge. Mass, Nov. 26.-Captain Goodrich of the Harvard crew has re- ceived word from Yale that the course at New London has been chosen for next June's races with Harvard. Last year, when Harvard and Yale made their five years athletic agreement, Yale had to row at Poughkeepsie owing to Harvards previous agreement with Cornell. It was agreed, however, that this year in the race with Harvard Yale should have the choice between New London and Poughkeepsie.

JAMES 4. CLEMMER ARRESTED.
Another Chaper in the Murder of Mrs
 Emma Kaiser.

Emma Kaiser.
 Newark, N. J., Nov. 26.-James A. CIemmer of NorristoWn, Pa., was ar rested here to-day on the charge of murder. He admitted his guilt. On October 26, 1896, Mrs. Emma P. Kaiser went driving near Noristown with her husband, Charles o. Kaiser, James A. Clemmer and Elizabeth l.. DeKalb. The start was made from the Kaiser homestead early in the morning and that was the last seen of Mrs. Kaiser alive. Mrs. Kaiser had not lived with her husband for some time previously, but she had placed a $10,000 insurance policy on her life and this accounted later to the police for the interest her husband took in her.
 On the same day Kaiser CIemmer and the DeKalb woman returned with Mrs. Kaiser's dead body. They told a story of having been waylaid by high waymen, Mrs. Kaiser being shot dead and Kaiser himself being slightly wounded In the arm. The story was not believed and Kaiser and the De- Kalb woman were arrested, Clemmer making his escape. Kaiser was even tually sentenced to death. The DeKa1b woman is now on trial.
 The first Newark authorities knew of the presence of Clemmer in this city was when they received instructions from the district attorney of Columbia county, Pa., to arrest him. A personal had been inserted in a New York paper purporting to be from the DeKalb wo- man. Clemmer was @ victim of the de- coy and responded with a letter, which fell into the hands of the district at torney. Clemmer was easily located.
