ALLEGED INHUTAN BEREAVEMENT, Captain Reed of the Ship T. F. Oakes Un-
 der Serious Charge.

New York, March 29.-Two men, gaunt and wan, arrived here this morn- ing from the Marine hospital, Staten Island. They tottered along South street to the office of the Atlantic Coast Sea- mems union like drunken men. They were so weak they could hardly stand. They were James Robinson, boatswain of the ship T. F. Oakes, and s. A. Fra ser, able seaman of the same vessel.
 They had left the marine hospital to appear before the United States district attorney to-day to prefer charges against Captain Reed of the scurvy stricken Oakes. Fraser and Robinson were taken to the office of the unions lawyer, and it is said every effort will be made to prevent Captain Reed from evading the legal papers which will keep him here to answer both a civil and criminal complaint.

DISCUSSED THE rEAcE rREAry.
Dull and Uninteresting Debate by the Sem
 ate Behind Closed Doors.


 Washington, March 29.-The debate on the arbitration treaty in the execu- tive session of the senate to-day was dull and spirtless and of short dura- ton. MT, Bacon spoke in favor of such amendments as should effectuaily eliminate certain questions from arbi- tration under the terms of the treaty. He thought it was essential to either adopt the amendment of MT. Chiffon, which leaves the senate to act upon and approve any and all propositions pro- posed to be submitted to arbitration or to eliminate the great questions involv- ing the Monroe doctrine, matters of for eign or domestic policy and kindred subjects by name. He denied that Lord Salisbury would be justified in reject ing the treaty, as was reported in some of the press dispatches if it were so amended or if it were made applicable to pecuniary claims only. He would be estopped from such rejection by his own attitude when the treaty was being ne gotiated as he at that time insisted that only such matters should be in cluded.
 Senator Turpie followed in a brief speech in advocacy of the ratification of the treaty as it stood with the commit tee amendments which have heretofore been agreed to. These he believed cov- cred every point that has been made in criticism of the instrument and pro- tected the United States completely When MT Turpie had concluded the senate adjourned.
 The vote on the various amendments that have been offered will be taken Wednesday afternoon at o'clock and If any amendments are subsequently, offered the vote on them is to be taken the next day at 4 o'clock.
 After that no amendments are to be received and the debate will be direct ed against the amendments. Chairman Davis hopes to get the final vote this week.

APRIL 15 THE DATE FIXED.
When, if it Passes, the New Tariff Will Go
 Into Effect.

Washington, March 29.-A member of the committee on ways and means said this evening that the committee had approved the recommendation of the subcommittee and that tomorrow a motion would be made to add a new section to the tariff bill making the new duties operative as to all imports after the 18th of April. He stated that the correctness of the principle in volved had been upheld by the supreme court of the United States in numerous decisions and eXemplified in many state laws.
 There was nothing, he said, in the constitution which would prevent con- gress from creating a lien against inn ports after a certain date for the diff ference between the rate of duty then prevailing and that which might be later imposed. Any importer who brought goods into this country, or person who purchased goods from an importer, after congress had given mo- tice of it's intention to create such a lien could not be held responsible for the payment of the amount involved.

THE HIsroK1c.4L SOCIETY.

1 An Interesting Paper Read Before the So- clety Last Evening by MT. Frank Strong. Before the Historical society last eve ming MT. Frank Strong read most in- teresting paper on "The Attempted Re moval of New England and Especially New Haven People to the West Indies
 and Ireland in the Seventeenth Gen. tury.'
 Mir Strong dwelt upon the fact that, had Cromwell been successful in the
 plans he had formed for the coloniza- tion of Ireland and the West Indies with New Englanders, aspects Of New
 England life would have been conn
 pletely changed. The Irish by thou
 sands were sent to the continent and to America, the men to serve in the
 army and the women and children to be sold as slaves.
 The Protestants of New England and of Germany were then encouraged to
 settle in Ireland in the homes of those
 who had been driven out. Ireland was l devastated until it was bowling will derneSS.
 Mir Strong said that Cromwell desir- Cu eSpeSldlly ANCW iSiiS,io SSseASAS AAA Ireland as these people had demon strated their ability to overcome natu-
 ral adversities. Cromwell went so far
 as to send a proposal to Massachusetts for settlers to go to Ireland, and he was
 answered by six well known Massachu- setts clergymen in letter. They made
 no definite answer, but left the matter open, taking care not to offend Crom-
 we'll They demanded, if they were to
 emigrate, the same religious freedom in Ireland as they had in New England. free schools, lands in a healthful part of Ireland, and freedom from public charges for some years. The salaries
 of clergymen in Massachusetts had
 been reduced by law, and so many Of them were, on that account perhaps, | willing to emigrate.
 The attempts to get emigrants to go to Ireland did not affect Connecticut or
 New Haven people so much as it did those in Massachusetts, but neverthe-
 less an attempt was made to get a col | ony of New Haven people to settle in
 Galloway. Ireland, but it proved unsuc- cessful.
 After speaking at length on the at tempted COlOnlZdIlOn OI lTeldHu Wlll
 Protestants by Cromwell, MT. Strong l told of like attempt to colonize the | West Indies from New England. At that time the dominating idea of com | merce was that it was a great disad-
 vantage to a country to pay cash bal l ance for imports, and that it was also | disadvantageous to one country to be obliged to buy staple products from another With this idea, then, Crom- well desired to colonize the West h. | dies, whence staple articles could be obtained and the necessity of buying them from other countries could be ob- | viated.
 l Mir. Strong then showed how it was l impossible to induce New England peo- | pie to go to the West Indies by the promises made to them, as they were | to give up all voice in the government, thing that those who were strongly in 1 favor of a theocracy were not prepared | to do.
 | The paper was, as a whole, most in | teresting, and at it's conclusion vote 1 of thanks was rendered to MT Strong.

 Tenths Knots Above Central Speed.

Tenths Knots Above Central Speed.
 New London, March 2S.-The Helena, the second of the gunboats constructed for the government by the Newport News Shipbuilding company on her of- ficial sped trial on Long Island sound to-day developed a speed of 15 S-lO knots. The government contract with the builders called for speed of 13 knots and premium was offered of $20,000 for each knot attained in excess of that. The conditions for the trial to-day were nearly perfect. There was a good wind from the northwest, and the sea was perfectly smooth. The members of the government trial board declared that
 the run was most successful.
 The Helena, which was constructed by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company, is designed espe-
 cially for river service. She is 250 feet
 3& inches long on the water line and 251 feet 10 inches over all, with a max imum beam of 40 feet and depth from the flat keel to the top of beams of the
 upper deck of 25 feet and inches. At a draught of nine feet her displacement is 1891 tons. She will have large mill itary mast, With two military tops. There will be a coming tower on the mast just below the military top, thus enabling her captain, at a height of 45 feet above her water line, to direct her movements. Her berthing capacity is sufficient for many additional men be- sides her crew. Her machinery con sists of triple expansion twin-screw en- zines, having cylinders 141a, 22 and 33% inches in diameter, and 1S-inch stroke. The total coal bunker capacity is about 2S0 tons
 | To facilitate landing a large body of | men, she has ships boats of an unusual | size, her steam cutter and sailing | launch being each 35 feet long. She is provided with a searchlight to be plac- ed on her military mast, but she has
 no torpedo tubes.
 | The arrangement of the battery will 1 be as follows Four four-inch guns,
 mounted in pairs, two forward and two
 aft, those aft being mounted on the
 main deck, those forward on the fore
 castle deck, all protected by gun 1 shields; four four-inch guns, mounted
 in armored sponsons on the gun deck, two on each side, amidships; two six
 pounders, mounted in armored spon-
 sons on the gun deck; two six-pound-
 CTS, mounted forward on the forecastle deck; four one-pounders, two on the
 bridge and two in the lower top; two
 Gatling guns in the upper top All of | the guns will be of the rapid-fire type.
 The speed requirements of this gun
 boat, according to contract, are thirteen
 knots per hour, and premium at the | rate of $20,000 per knot will be paid to
 the builders for speed developed in ex-
 cess of contract requirement.

 in Rents Since the Change in Grade Was
 Made.
 The change of grade in Union street
 for the purpose of making the approach
 to the Water street bridge, built by or
 der of the court of common council of
 1894, has been fruitful source of trou-
 ble and deliberation for the city fathers
 for several months, and Corporation
 Counsel Ely has not been exempt from
 the work that the building of the bridge entailed upon the city officials. The Consolidated road is one of the claim
 ants for damages arising from the
 change of grade, 1t being a large abut- ting property holder
 Yesterday afternoon the committee on claims, to whom the court of com | mon council referred the petitioner $ request for damages, visited the section in company with City Engineer Kelly
 and made an investigation of the prem ises.
 Last evening the committee gave a
 hearing to the railroad company it be- ing represented by Attorney E. G. Buckland. Corporation Counsel Ely looked after the city's interests. The petitioners called as experts Charles H. Webb, Lucius B. Hinman and John T.
 Sloan, real estate dealers. c. H. Ryder, rent agent of the Consolidated road, also appeared before the committee. Charles H. Webb was the first wit
 ness called. He said that the total damage for widening and changing the grade of Union street in consequence of the building of the bridge would. ac- cording to his estimate, amount to $6,- PAP, divided as follows: Old buildings
 on the west side of Union street, Nos.
 and 10, $1,00O; Nos. IA and 16 $1,5O0 for filling in 1856 cubic yards of dirt s69s; wall, $94S; total damage on the west side, $3,7s6.
 On the east side MT Webb estimated the loss as follows: One building used | as barn, $500; two frame buildings, F and 19 Union street, $1,000 filling, $956; | total, 2,456, This makes the total loss
 on both sides of the street $6,242. I John T. Sloan, the second witness
 made a lump sum of the damages and placed them at $4,5O0.
 Lucius B. Hinman said that the in jury to the buildings, according to his opinion, would amount to $2,6S3; filling in on the east side, $s25.60; on the west side, $423.90; total damage to the com panY'S property S4 O99 50
 A. H. Ryder, rent agent for the Con- solidated road, was then called. He had charge of collecting the rents from the property in question. At 8 Union street the change of grade caused the tenants to vacate October 1, 1894, and the place has been idle ever since, at a | loss amounting to $450. The loss at 1( Union street had been $165; at No IA | $665; at No. IS, $50; at No. 19 $203; total | loss in rents, $1,5333.

FUTURE OF pACIFIC ROADS.
MT. Morgan Submits Minority Report to
 the Senate Committed.

Washington, March 29.-Mr. Morgan submitted the views of the minority of the committee on Pacific railroads in the senate to-day on the bill to amend the act for the construction of the Pa cific railroads reported by Mir. Gear on March 1S The report in part says:
 Legislation that separates the Gen. tral Pacific and the Union Pacific rail- roads into two companies destroys the greatest value and denies to the people the real advantages of the great trans continental highway created for their benefit and built with their money un- der the laws that this bill seeks to abol- ish.
 "The pending bill provides for an agreement with the owners of the Central Pacific without declaring who owns it and deals with it as if the United States government is not the owner. If this fatal act of separation between the roads has not reached a stage that Is conclusive upon the gov- ernment it should be intercepted and placed by act of congress in the hands of the commission, provided for in this Dlli. The UHlteu olaleS could no more afford to have this great highway pass beyond it's reach as an instrumentality of government than Great Britain could afford to have the Canadian Pacific which in a military sense is the spinal column of the empire pass into the hands of the American government There cannot be a more dangerous po- liticaI arrangement in any form of pro- ceeding to be employed in the admin istration or disposal of the railroad properties and franchises than that which is provided in the bill reported to the senate.
