THE TREATY
Between the United States
and Great Britain VIII Not
be Signed for a Few Days.

Dc SAS neu Tor a Few Days.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 81.
The new treaty between
the United States and
Great Britain, by which all
differences between the two
countries for the next five
years are TO be referred TO
arbitration. Will not be
signed at present. Mr.. Oh
ney and Sir Julian Paunce-
fote closed the negotiations
about seventeen days ago,
and the anal draft was
made ard forwarded 10
Lord Salisbury. As it en-
bodied all the features
which had been agreed on
during the negotiations. no
doubt was felt that a
spoey approval would be
gwen by Lord Salisbury
md that the signatures TO
the instrument thereupon
would be affixed at Wash
ington. IL was expected
that the document would
be signed coincident with
the new year, but this ex-
pectation will not be real
lied and the signatures, it
is now stated. cannot pos
sibly be affixed before the
end of next month. The
causes for the delay cannot
be stated. but they are suf-
fcient 10 defer the consum-
nation of the treaty. In
the meantime there is no
reason to believe that the
prospects of ultimate agree
ment are less favorable
than they have been, the
delay doubtless being due
TO some unessential ques-
tiOn. as there is complete
understand on all material
questions.

Sistersville, w. Va, December 81
Another poisoning case came to light
here this morning when it was learn
ed that a couple of ladies had been
taken seriously i'll during last night
from eating picked pigs feet. Last
evening, for their lunch, Mrs. c. NJ.
Vanderlin and her sister, Miss Gertrude
DOuglesS, ate some picked pigs feet.
During the evening they did not feel
any serious effects from their repast,
but later in the night they became
very i'll and two physicians were called
in. The women were in a terrible con-
dition. and when the physicians arriv-
ed were in convulsions, and if it had
been a few minutes later it is likely
they would have been beyond human
aid.
The pigs feet they had eaten were
secured at a local store, and were sup
posed to be the finest in the market.
One of the physicians, in speaking OF
the matter. said that he had never in
all of his career as d physician. seen
anyone who was more seriously affect
ed by poison than the two women, and
that if they had not been called in at
the time they were there would have
been fatal results from the effects Of
eating the stuff.
This afternoon one of the women is
still in a very serious condition, but
the other is out of danger. It is sup
Dosed that the delicacy had been put
I'D for long time and that the poison
had come from the tin on the cans.

Pittsville, Pa. December 31.-Some
startling testimony was given to-day
in the preliminary hearing of e. A.
Van Valkenburg, who has charge of
John Wanamakers Senatorial cam
paign at Harrisburg, and who was ar
rested last night charged with attempt
ing to bribe Representative Webster
c. Weiss. of Northampton county, to
vote for Mr.. Wanamaker for United
States Senator. After Mr.. Van Walk
enburg had been called and pleaded not
guilty the prosecution called ]. Tillard,
who said he was employed by the In
ter-State Detective Agency Of Scran-
ton. Tillard said he was sent to the
Wanamaker people early in the sum-
mer to hire out to them and then dis
close all information he could get to
his superiors. He described at length
interviews he had had with Mr.. Van
Valkenburg. He said it was agreed
that he was to help the latter secure
votes against Senator Quay's candi-
date for United States Senator. He
told how he had cohspired with and
induced Van Valkenburg to give him
money to bribe representatives in va
rious parts of the State. notably in
Luzerne, showing Photographic re-
ceipt from Dr. Mackey, of Luzerne
county, for 81 $50 and pledging himself
to vote for Wanamaker. Tillard ac-
knowledged that he had kept $50 out
of the original sum, which was $1,000.
He said it was given him by Van Walk
enburg to give to DR.. Mackey.
The defendants counsel objected TO
the testimony as having no bearing on
the Weiss case, but the justice admitted
ii. a recess was then taken.
Mr.. Van Valkenburg says Tillards
statement is tissue of lies.
The trial terminated abruptly this af-
ternoon, when the defendant waived
a further hearing and entered bail.
This was done because of the admis-
sion of Detective Tillard's testimony
regardless of the objections of the de-
fense. Shortly after leaving the Of
flee another warrant was served upon
Mr.. Van Valkenburg, charging him
with conspiracy TO bribe DR.. n. j.
Mackey, of Lackawanna. Bail in the
same sum was entered After the
withdrawal of the defendant and his
counsel, the taking of testimony was
proceeded with in their absence. Til
lard swore that he had received $500 in
five notes of 500 each, TO pay to rep
resentative Weiss He said the money
was given to him by Van Valkenburg
He subsequently refused FIVE other 800
notes from Scranton and returned to
Van Valkenburg, who afterwards ac-
knowledged their receipt.

Prize flights VS.. Foot Bail.

Now that Nevada has passed law
permitting prize fighting there will no
doubt be a revival of this kind of sport,
and in this connection 1t is not regarded
10 quite the same light since modern
foot ball came into vogue. Prize fight
| ing is not half as brutal as game of
| foot ball and not one-tenth the people
are injured or killed that occurs through
! foot ball. Again, if prize fighter is
killed off there is no particular loss to
society or the world at large, while many
promising youth is manned tor life by
indulging IN foot ball. The more brutal
foot bail player the more he appears
to be appIauded. Foot ball is permis-
able because society endorses il, while
prize fighting is reprehensible because
the sport is looked down upon by the
powers that be. From a gambling and
moral proposition there is little differ
ence, as more money changes hands on
the result of the Harvard Yale Princeton
contest than fight, and fully as much
drunkenness ensues. 1t is Hobson's
choice.
The writer is not endeavoring to en-
dorse prize fighting, but simply compar-
ing two kinds of sport, and as long as
the present foot ball rules prevail and
are lauded by society we can see no
reason why such fuss should be made
over a pugilistic mill One is scientific
brutality while the other is rough.and-
tumble.get.Yo neck broke sport.
