LOTS OF TALK BUT NO TREATY

TBy Cable to The Associated Press
LONDON, June 21. 1ssT-The correspon-
dent of the Associated Press learns that
while the statements in the English press
to the effect that Sir Julian Pauncefote
brought from the United States a draft OF
new arbitration treaty are untrue, it is
a fact that Sir Julian discussed the ques-
ton with Secretary Sherman and since
his arrival here had discussed it witA
Lord Salisbury.
There is the best reason for believing
that the matter will be reopened at
Washington in October. and that short
treaty, of less scope than the last, will be
arranged for submission to the respective
governments
1t is thought that the matter would not
have been revived unless the feeling of
leading United States Senators had been
previously ascertained and Lord Sails
bury been assured that President McKin-
ley is in favor of such an arrangement.
1t is now semi-officially reported that
an international conference will be held in
Washington early in October on the basis
of Mr.. John w. Fosters suggestion on be-
half of the United States Government that
the experts representing Great Britain
and the United States should meet and
compare the results of their Investigations
state of facts.
Pending such an agreement there Is no
question of extending the scope of the
conference to include a revision OF the,
present regulations. The primary object
will not be legal but scientific.

DISGRACE TO THE FORCE
1t Was Roundsman Frey Who
Ordered Bismark Locked
Up. Though Severe
ly Injured.

The Police Commissioners will probably
make a rigid investigation Of the stupid
ity which resulted in John Bismark being
eye almost gouged out and two ribs
broken without being given medical at
tendance. Bismark is still confined in
the City Hospital and it is quite likely
he will remain there for a few weeks to
come. What puzzles the Police Com
missioners is that Bismark should have
been locked up at all. The man Byrne,
who, by constant association with Bis
marks wife and interference in his family
affairs. precipitated the row in which
Bismark was so brutally beaten, was al
lowed to go scot free by the police and
was actually allowed to become complain
ant. Bisn1ark's condition was pitiable.
He was in fearful agony and he was COW
cred with blood from head to foot. Not
withstanding that Roundsman Frey, who
was behind the desk, accepted Byrnes
complaint and landed the unfortunate
Bismark in a cell. The man was scarcely
able to walk from the sergeant's desk to
cell. Every move caused him intense
agony. Not a thought was given him
until Justice NevIn saw him the following
morning.
Captain Farrier is investigating the
case and Roundsman Frey and the police
men in the case may have to answer to
the Commissioners. The Police Commits
sioners~ are also looking up a, charge that
prisoners are unnecessarily roughly
handled in the Gregory street station.
Justice Nevin is holding Byrne, Bis
marks assailant, without bail until such
time as Bismark is able to appear in
court

LONDON, July 21, 1S97.-A correspond

writes:-
THE demonstration by the United

leigh has had wonderful effect. The
continual ignoring of the rights and
claims of Americans had embittered the
relations between them and the natives
for some time and finally culmineaed in
the desperate assault by the Moors on
the servant of Mr.. Burke, who was car.
rying money to the bank.
Mr., Burke promptly demanded repara-

Moorish officials was so overbearing that
Mr.. Burke felt compelled to appeal to
Washington, as has already been cabfed,
for help to enforce his demand.
'The San Francisco by her prompt ar
rival so stirred up the Moorish officials
that the Foreign Minister Immediately
visited Admiral Selfridge, an honor never
before conferred upon any one. The
foreigners here are still commenting upon
this Unprecedented concurrence
THE terms of settlement Of the trouble
will soon be arranged; but the incident
is being taken advantage of to make a
display of American force at the towns
along the coast which will insure better
protection and more privileges for Ameri-
cans and their property hereafter Every
thing possible will be done to make SUCH
a display as will impress the Moors with
the notion that in the future all just

if necessary by shot and shell.

WALDMANN OPERA HOUSE SUIT
HOW Many Glasses ina Keg of

Chancellor Stevens had under con-

Chancery the Question:-"Hew many
glasses are there in keg of beer, or a
bottle of whiskey." The question arose on
the continued hearing of the rule to show
cause why receiver should not be ap-

of Newark. The points in controversy be-

for the appointment of the receiver, said
that the report of the expert who had

Mr. McCarter, who appearedFfor Wald@

from a keg of beer or poured from a
bottle of whiskey. He said that some
men took more and some less of whiskey,
while the glass of beer contained more or
less according TO the ability of the bar

The Vice-Chancellor appeared to have
his doubts about the matter.
Mr. Flavel McGee argued for a receiver

Cuban Speech Makes a Sem

MADRID, July 21, 1Sg7.-There have
been serious outbreaks and riots at Bar
celona and the gendarmes have been
stoned by the mob. The government has
sent large reinforcements to restore or
der.
Senor Moret Prendergast's speech at
Saragossa, on the Cuban question and
in denunciation of the policy of the gov
ernment, has made great sensation.
The "Epoca' says
The frightful picture of Cuba, painted
by the Liberal leader at Saragossa, can
only be compared to the intiammatory
utterances of the worst enemies of Spain.
We believe that his insinuations against
the throne must permanently keep the
Liberals out of power owing to the in
creased strength which such utterances
give the Monarchists in the eyes of the
public"
Senior Canovas del Castillo, the Pre-
between Spain and Japan is correct. The
most cordial relations exist between the
two powers, but the understanding does
not extend further. He adds:-"It was
government to consider what reforms
ought to be introduced in Cuba"
1t is reported that the government is
negotiating for the construction of four
large WarshipS.
At a banquet given last evening at
Saragossa, in honor of Senior Moret y
Prendergast, the Liberal leader and for

violent attack upon Spanish Ministers
beyond seas referring evidently to
Seror Dupuy DeLome. A representative
of the government, who was present, in
tervened, resenting the Counts remarks,

ment's representative drew a revolver.

TO PROTECT THs VETERANS.
naJtty OF the Act Giving
Them Preference DoubteA.

Them Preference Doubted.
Lawyer ]. A. Beecher, of Newark, made
an application this morning to Justice
Lippincott for writ of certiorari which,
If it is granted. may result in determining
whether law passed by the last legisla-
ture giving preference to veterans in mum
icipal appointments is constitutional or
otherwise.
ange removed Frank Hardy from the pos
ition of reservoir keeper, which he had
held since June II, 1894 and appointed
George w. Gray in his place. Hardy
claims that he could not be removed be-
cause he is a veteran and there is no
fixed term.
City Attorney Thomas Davis, who rep
resented the Common Council, held that
there is fixed term. When the Council
increased Hardy's salary in 1896 to $3.50 the
term was fixed for one year. Mr.. Davis
conter I'd that the. Council is not obliged
TO appoint a veteran to the Office.
Mr.. Beecher insisted that all the laws
passed by the Legislature bearing on the
subject require municipal bodies to give
veterans the preference in making ap-
pointments. He quoted the law of 1897 as
having a special bearing on the subject.
Justice Lippincott said there was a
grave question of the constitutionality of
such an act. The laws protecting yeter-
ans already in position have been decided
to be good, but law giving preference to
veterans in making appointments is ques-
tionable. If counsel proposed to rest his
case on the act of 1897 a writ would be

give decision tomorrow morning.

Mr.. Young submitted the report of the
committee which was appointed to con-

the capital stock be fixed at 100000;
that the company locate as near as pos
sible to Monticello, Harrison and Com

ton lists be opened at once. All these
recommendations were adopted, with the
exception of that relating to the loca-
tion.
It was decided to leave that matter to

seems to be in favor of the triangular
strip at Harrison and Monticello avenues.

WHERE WERE THE POLICE?
HoodIums Prevent salvationists
From Holding Services.


A branch of the Salvation Army, whose
barracks are located at the corner of
Bowers street and Cambridge avenue,
have been in the habit of holding nightly
religious services in front of Huderburth's s
saloon, at the corner of Bowers street and
Webster avenue They arrived there
last night, as usual, about 7:30 o'clock
but were not allowed to continue their
services without molestation. because a
number of gentlemen decided to play
what the considered practical joke on
the Salvationists.
A German mud gutter band which had
been playing on an adjoining block was
pressed into service and for a small purse,
supplied by the alleged jokers, was induced
to go to the corner where the Salvation
lists were meeting and outplay them with
noise. They reached the place while the
members of the religious organization
were on their knees praying and i'm
mediately started up the refrain tara
ra-boon-de-ay."
The Salvationists then attempted to
sing to the music of drums and tambour-
ines, but the German band by strenuous
efforts managed to drown the sound of
their music. A large crowd soon gathered
and many opinions unfavorable to the
made to drive away the band. At every
attempt to talk or sing the Salvationists
voices were drowned by the din of the
music from the German band.
This continued for an hour, the mem
bers of the band going into the saloon
between each tune and refreshing them
selves with copious draughts of their
favorite beverage, only to return and re-
new their musical attack on the Saliva
tionists who were finally obliged to desist
and leave the place.
The proceedings of the hoodlums were
denounced as an outrage which should be
suppressed by the police.
