Gardner May Retire.


The Trenton correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Inquirer sent the following dis
patch yesterday:
According to political gossip here,
Congressman John J. Gardeners adverse
vote on the final adoption of war resolu-
lions in Congress has made his renomina-
tion next fall improbable. Consequently
there is discussion among the Republican
leaders in the Second Congressional dis
trict as to his successor, and no candidates
are coming to the front. The district is
composed of Mercer, Burlington, Ocean
and Atlantic counties.
"'It is rumored that ex-Assembly George
Wildes, of Burlington county, will make
a fight to secure the nomination Mr.
Wildes was a fearless champion of the
farmers interest when in the Legislature,
and has host of friends among the farm
ers of the district especially in Burlington
and Mercer counties He is not alto
gether in accord with some of the leaders,
but the result of the recent Senatorial
election in Burlington county may cause
the leaders not to oppose Wildes if he
comes to the convention with a strong fol-
lowing.
"Another factor in Mr.. Wildes' interest
is the claim of Burlington county Repub-
licans to the Congressional nomination
Ocean county probably has the strongest
claim, but ex-senator Smith, of Lake
wood, who was mentioned as a prospec-
tive candidate has entered the race for
the Senatorial nomination from that
county"
The vote referred to was that on the
now historic conference report on the war
resolutions Mr.. Gardner is said to have
offered the following explanation on his
vote: I was against the conference re-
port because it surrendered the House
proposition which | preferred. 1t is not
my habit to surrender legislative posi-
ton, after the body has adhered to it all
day and allnight because men are getting
sleepy. To surrender because of some
fatigue is not an inspiring example just
now. The report enacts a fiction and a
paradox The resolutions now say to the
world we are to Interfere to free peo-
pie who are free and independent. We
are to rescue a free and independent peo-
pie from the tyranny of their sovereign
under international law"

IN MExlco,s FAVOR.
Surprise Over Decision in CberIander and
Messenger Case.

mSSSCHSo SdoCs
Washington, d. c., Jan. 4.-The cause
of arbitration in the settlement of
claims between nations has received a
severe check in the award by the arbi-
traitor in the case of oberlander and
Messenger, who claimed $4,000 and
$4,000, respectively, for III treatment
by the Mexican authorities.
The arbitrator was the Argentine
minister at Madrid, Senior Quesada, and
his decision was IN favor of the Mexi-
can government and against the Ameri-
can claimants The discouraging fea-
ture of the decision is that IN making
the decision the arbitrator apparently
overlooked every point of law, accord
ing to English standards, and decided
the case with reference to his sym
pathies. 1t Is sad that a more extra
ordinary opinion than this, from legal
point of view, was never seen at the
state department
Oberlander was a deputy sheriff in
California and was kidnapped and talk
en- across the border by Mexican Off
GERS. Mrs. Messenger, in whose house
he mad taken refuge, was i'll treated.
When it came to rendering the opin-
ion, the arbitrator, it is said, ignored
the facts and reasoned that because
the United States government had not
recognized the rights of the Chinese
government to indemnity for the kill
ing of Chinese in Wyoming, while in
sisting upon indemnity for losses sus-
tanned by American missionaries in
China, we could not expect to have an
indemnity awarded our citizens in SUCH
cases as this. This peculiar lack of
legal perception is said at the depart
ment to be almost without parallel
In the history of arbitrations and has
undoubtedly done much to prevent the
submission of other claims to arbitra-
ton, unless it can first be shown that
the arbitrator is familiar with the pr!n-
eiples of common law according to the
English standards

AS Yale received about $4,000 from
the Yale-Harvard game, the past sea-
son will go or record as the most pros
porous in the foot ball history of the

THE BOGUS NOTES.
Boston Business Men Wary of
500 Silver Certificates.
A Great Many of the 500 Denomination
in the Hub-counterfe Note Found
In fhiladelpIia.

Boston, Jan. .4--As the result of the
notice sent out from Washington, that
a number of counterfeit 500 silver cer-
tificates We're in circulation, business
men experienced much inconvenience to-
day because of the reluctance of the
banks to accept certificates of this de-
nomination. The banks unloaded these
bills with generous hands, and about
$4,000 worth was received at the GUS
tom house before Cashier rockingham
learned Of the warnin sent out. and re-
fused to receive any more OF them.
Bills Of this denomination are usus-
ally very popular at the custom house,
because of the ease with which they can
be counted in the payment Of large
amounts.
1t was at that place the great difficult
ty was experienced. Mr.. Frothing-
ham tried to get banks to stamp these
bills as they gave them Jut but the
bank officials refused on the ground that
they were not dealing directly with the
government
Mr. rockingham, therefore, was
obliged to apply the rule to individuals,
and would not take the money unless it
1t, and he was supported in this decision
by notice which he subsequently re
celVed from the Sub-treasury, ordering
MIN to stamp all such bills.
AT the sub-treasary the rule was APP

MARcHAND EXPEDITION.
A Frenchman Tells Row to Deal VIII
African Natives.


Paris, Jan. A letter from an officer
of the Marchand expedition, which, ac-
cording to the authentic news received
here yesterday, under date of Sept. II,
had arrived on that date at Rafi, in the
Tambura district of the Nile basin,
published in a newspaper of Toulouse,
says the French force consists of %
white men and 500 Senegalese rif1emen.
Describing the hardships endured, the
writer remarks:
THE native carriers give much
trouble We seized them forcIbly, and
they attempted to escape at every OPP
portunity. We vainly shot or hanged
those who were recaptured, but others
continued to escape. Many were re-
captured, but several succeeded in es-
Gaping. We were obliged to enter viii
lagos with few rifiemen and seize all
the men and women found therein.
Sometimes the whole population fled.
We then burned a few huts, which
generally induced them to return. We
then seized the chief and compelled
him to give us slaves to carry our
loads. This is the only way to deal
with these brutes, whom we have seen
quarrel over the bodies of their shot
comrades for food"

Attorney General Knowlton on Laws
for the Laboring Glasses.

Boston, Jan. AT the annual BAN
quet of the Bank officers Association,
held at Copley hall tonight, Postmaster
Henry A. Thomas, General W. w.
Blackmsr and Attorney General Knowl-
ton were the chief speakers In the
course of his remarks, Gen. Knowlton,
referring to the cutdown in the various
cotton mills of New England, said he
was surprised that the men connected
with this industry should be trying for
the repeal of laws that were enacted for
the benefit of the laboring classes. That
alternative will not come, or, if it does
come, Massachusetts, will not take that
backward step. The mill children and
women of our cities shall be protected
even though the mill owners do not re-
ceive their dividends.
