Advocates of Arbitration Are
Again Stirring.
PAUNCEP0TE READY TO NEGOTIATE
Cremer VIII Sail For This Country To-
morrow, With Petition to the Senate
Representing 2.750,oOO wopaingmen.
An English Minister Already Here.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Sir Julian
Pauncetote, the British ambassador,
who is just back from London, proba-
bly, will confer with Secretary Sherman
at an early day concerning the reopen
ing of negotiations for an Anglo Amer
lean treaty of arbitration. There is
said to be no disposition on either hand
to press the subject unduly. but rather
TO allow it to develop along natural
lines and responsive to public senti-
ment. Mr.. Sherman made known to
the British authorities some months ago
that the president would view with
favor reopening of the negotiations,
and was hopeful that peace treaty Ill
timately would be secured. The British
officials were much gratihed at this sug-
gestion, but no negotiations were en-
tered upon
Since then Sir Julian has visited
London and has had an opportunity to
learn the views of the foreign Office, as
well as the state of British feeling on
the subject. All the tendencies on the
other side are favorable to arbitration,
although there is a general iadisposl-
ton to take up the treaty question as
long as there is a chance that it would
meet the same fate as the Olney.
Pauncefote treaty. AS result of that
treaty, an arbitration league has been
formed throughout England, its aim
being to bring about peace compact
between that country and this.

Democrats VIII Thus Prevent the Issu.
ing of Certificates to Republicans In
Certain Ohio Counties - Republicans
Also Preparing Cases of Contest.

COLUMBUS, Nov. 5.-The courts will
be resorted to for the purpose of pre-
venting boards of election from issuing
certificates to the Republican candi-
dates in certain counties.
The cases will be brought in the
lower courts and thence to the supreme
court as soon as possible. The Repub-
llcan state committee also has LAWYERS
preparing cases of contest. The Repub-
cans get three representa-, es on the
face of the returns from Delaware,
Noble and Wood counties, whose plu-
raltles aggl egate only 142, and a
change of 70 votes would have given
the Democrats control of the legisla.
ture
The Republicans claim thar the Dem.
oerats also elected members Of the legis.
lature on close margins, that there were
ten counties ~ the state that gave less
than 100 plurality each for their candi-
dates for the Legislature and that the
Democrats secured as many members
on these small pluralities as the Repub.
licans. Both sides are preparing for
contests rst III the courts and after
ward Il the legislature AS each branch
of the legislature is the tribunal of last
resort in ludging of the qualifications of
its own members, the Republicans have
an advantage i'll their control of the
house over the Democrats, who control
the senate. There are 36 senators with
only rwo or three contests possible in
that hoiy.
n the house there are 100 members
with dozen or more seats that can be
contested. and the Republicans. claim a
majority of seven in that body, so that
more democrats could be unseated in
the house than Republicans in the sem
ate. While both committees are keep.
ing secret any arrangements for legal
proceedings yet it is stated that the
Democratic state committee will seek
to enjoin enough certificates of election
from Republican representatives to pre-
vent the Republicans from organizing
the house and appointing the commit
tee that will consider contests. Deyel-
opments are expected today in the poll
cies of both parties, so far as appealing
TO the courts is concerned.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The issue of shares

the beginning of the end of England's
dependence on the United States for
cable connection with the West Indies.
But for President Cleveland's Vene-

pend upon the United States lines via
Florida and Cuba, but directly the Off
Gals here realized the possibility of a
war with the United States and the
consequent isolation of the West Indian
colonies they set about the negotiations
which resulted in the imperial subsidy
of $4,000 yearly for 20 years to the
British Canadian capitalists who own
the Halifax Bermuda cable for it's ex-
tension from Bermuda to Jamaica. and
ultimately to other leading West In
dian islands and South America. The
cable will be completed by the first
week of February next.

Who held in clinging desperation
along the fringe of the continent, de-

agery behind? The common people.
When lapsing time showed the pos

began to dream of rights based upon
conditions here, uninfluenced by the
dicta of remote and halfcrazy mon
arch, the common people watered
the ground with blood.

fronted this plain people. BY splen-

SO that its culture, its progress its

magnificent power of common people,
untrammeled by traditions.

by an idea, their response is splendid.
Like some huge engine, their pro-

it is closely related to the permanency
Of national purposes that they are
slow to awaken to danger.

AT ITS OLD TRICKS

The Poker" Davis gang has returned
to the city and is doing business at the
old stand, defying all attempts to bring
it to book for it's nefarious deeds. 1t is
getting to be a question as to whether
the gang or the city authorities shall
run the town, with the chances at pres
ent slightly in favor of the former.
A man was enticed into Davis Spring
street den Friday afternoon and robbed
of $42, all the money he had, according
to the news columns of yesterdays S
Herald:
When the victim afterwards threat
ened the members of the gang with ar
rest, they gave him the wild ha, ha,
and told him to prosecute them if he
thought that he could make out case;
that the police and detectives knew
where the gang made its headquarters,
and could find them there at any time.
Why should this gang of robbers feel
so secure that they snap their fingers
at their victims and laugh at the au-
thorities? Last week in one of the
justice courts a member of this gang
was acquitted because three other mem
bers of the gang swore in opposition to
the testimony of one victim, and because
there was no apparent effort on the
part of the prosecuting attorney from
the district attorneys Office to show that
Davis "office" was a gambling place
despite the fact that the case had beer
once postponed in order that the prose
cution might obtain evidence on this
point.

ed. Go ahead and prosecute u.s." they
told their latest victim, "if you think
you can make out a case against us"
Is it true that these men may violate
the law with impunity and snap theii
fingers at justice? The Herald cannot
accept such a scandal.
The confidence men must go.
