CHECK TO ARBITRA1IoN.
Decision Against the United States Which
is Thought to be Unjust.

IN AHOuHhI 10 Oe y UJusts
Washington, Jan. 4-The cause Of ar
bitration in the settlement Of claims be-
tween nations has received a severe
check In the award by the arbitrator
in the case of Oberiande and Messenger,
who claimed $4,000 and $4,000 respec-s
lively for ill-treatment by the Mexican
soldiers. The arbitrator was the Argen-
tine minister at Madrid, and his decis-
ion was in favor Of the Mexican govern
ment and against the American claim
ants. The dscouraging feature of the
situation is that in making the decision
the arbitrator apparently overlooked
every point of law according to Eng
lish standards and decided the case
with reference to his sympathies.
Oberande was deputy sheriff in
California and was kidnapped and TAX
en- across the border by Mexican Off
GERS. Mrs. Messenger, in whose house
he had taken refuge, was ill-treated.
The arbitrator it is said, ignored the
facts and reasoned that because the
United States government had not rec
ognized the rights of the Chinese gov
ernment to indemnity for the killing Of
Chinese in the United States 1--WE could
not expect to have awarded our citizens
in such cases as this" The peculiar
lack of legal perception Is said at the
state department to be almost without
a parallel in the history of arbitrations,
and has undoubtedly done much to pre-
vent the submission of other claims to
arhit ra tion unless 1t can first be shown

1oNDoN,s CITY HAIL DISASTER.
of the City to Relatives of the
Many Victims.

London, Ont, Jan. 4-The coroners
inquest on the city hall disaster began
this afternoon, but the proceedings were
purely formal. One of the bodies was
viewed by the coroner and then an ad-
journment was taken. The whole point
of the inquest will be the liability of the
city to relatives and friends of the de-
ceased. A number of architects will tes-
tify that the building was unsafe, and
should have been condemned. This will
be the basis Of the claim that will be
made against the city. Mayor-elect Will
son is much more seriously hurt than
he permitted his friends to observe last
night when he worked until nearly
o'clock among the wounded. He visit
ed both hospitals and with the other
doctors did all in his power to relieve
the sufferings, although he himself was
suffering greatly from the wounds he
received when on the floor. His left
side was badly bruised and cut and so,
too, We're his arms, legs and back. He
is now in his bed.
Alderman-e Cooper is reported to
be in a serious condition, being injured
internally. At a meeting of the city
council, held this evening, meas
ures were taken to relieve temporary
financial distress caused by the acci-
dents and to see that all funeral ar
rangements are carried out in a proper
manner, the city guaranteeing all ex-
penses Benjamin J. Nash, whose body
was taken from the ruins badly man
gled, was one of the most prominent
citizens of London, being at the time Of
his death president Of the Conservative
association and of St. Georges society.
John Turner, another of those killed,
was also prominent in civic affairs, hav-
ing served as alderman for number of
years.

FIRE COMMISSIONERS.
Equipment of New Engine Houses Dis
cussed Last Night.


AT the meeting OF the board of fire
commissioners held last night the most
important business was the discussion
of the equipment of the new engine
houses, numbers 8 and 10. President
Morgan called attention to the urgent
need that the new houses be equipped
as soon as possible. He said that the
wait in equipping them was due to the
uncertainty as to the amount of the ap-
preparation which would be made. The
appropriation for the new houses, in
cluding heaters and all expenses, is $13,-
900. The board has decided that the
best heaters to put in the new houses
are combination engine and house
heaters, which not only heat the build
ings but also keep up steam in the en-
gines. The matter was referred to the
committee on houses to advertise for
bids
Superintendent Hubbard submitted to
the board the following recommended
tions in addition to one advising the
placing of new heaters, that new
house boiler be placed in No. SIS house,
that larger wire be used in the fire
alarm telegraph service, the purchase of
5000 feet of hose and the equipment Of
the new house as soon as possible
These recommendations We're referred
to committee on houses and apparatus,
with the exception of that concerning
fire alarm telegraph wires In regard
to this Superintendent of Fire Alarm
Telegraph Grant appeared and said it
was advisable to wire at least two sizes
larger than that now in use. He said
that the accumulation of sleet on the
present wires easily breaks them. He
said, also, that the cost of the larger
wire recommended would be about 81
per mile greater than the wire now
used. The recommendation was then
referred to the committee on fire alarm
telegraph with power.
In speaking of the equipment Of the
new engine houses. President Morgan
| said that he thought that the New Ha-
ven fire department now needed a
combination chemical and hose wagon
| with each engine to be used with still
| alarms and small fires. He thought
| that New Haven had grown to such di-
| mensions that it was now inadvisable
| to purchase the old fashioned hose
wagons. His Views were coincided with
| by the other members of the board and
| 1t is probable that combination chemi-
cal and hose wagons will be purchased.
These cost abouts1. 500 each. The entire
matter Of equipping the new houses
was referred to the house and appara-
| tus committee. An invitation was re-
ceived from firm in Providence for a
delegation from the local fire board tc
visit that city at the expense of the
| company to witness the working Of a
| combination wagoi,

luton calling for information as to the

mendations, if any, the secretaries have

from the civil service matter no ques-

BAD ACCIDENT AT BELLE DooK.
Brakeman Quinn Crushed TO Death and
Three Others Injured.

Three others lnJure
A serious freight accident which oc-
Cured at Belle dock shortly after three
o'clock this morning caused the death
of Edison P. Quinn, a brakeman, who
resides at 1856 East street, and the seri-
Gus injury of two conductors, William
C. Norris of 1879 Wallace street and Will
liam G. Jenner of COS East street, and OF
Edward D. Berry of As Coils street,
brakeman employed in the railroad
yards. A freight train was being made
up and the engine, with four cars and
a caboose, was making a switch, when
it took the wrong track and crashed
into a line of coal cars standing on a
switch.
The locomotive of the made-up train
Jumped the track and the freight cars
attached to it piled up, the caboose
alone keeping right side UP. Quinn was
on a car at the time and as the cars
piled up he was thrown by the force of
the collision between the cars and was
caught under falling timber and in
stantly killed. his body being horribly
mangled. The body had not been ex-
tricated from the wreck at 4 o'clock
this morning.
Conductor Norris, who is a conductor
on makeup trains at Belle dock, was
taken in the Grand avenue police am
bulance to his home on East street and
Conductor Jenner, who is conductor
on the Hartford division, was taken In
the ambulance to his residence, 800 East
street. Edward D. Berry, brakeman,
received a broken arm and several Sc
we're bruises. The two conductors were
not seriously injured, but were badly
bruised and shaken UP. The wreckins
train was called Immediately after the
accident and at once began work of re-
moving the piled up cars and debris in
order to remove the body of Quinn, the
brakeman, who was killed. The wreck
ers worked rapidly, but after an hours
work had not been able to take out
the mangled body of Quinn. Conductor
Jenner was in charge of an early morn
ing freight, which was to leave this city
over the Hartford division at A o'clock,
The accident created much excitement
in the railroad yards and the rumol
soon spread after the wreck that a halt
dozen men had been killed. 1t was
thought, however. at 430 this morning
that the only death which resulted from
the accident was that Of Quinn, ant
| that those mentioned above were the
only injured ones. The men engaged
in clearing up the wreck We're neverthe
| less on the lookout for other bodies o.
killed or for injured ones.

1t Says England's Policy Aims at Main
tanning the Chinese Empire as the Field
for the Extension of Trade and Not at
Acquiring Land as Security for a Loan If
One is Negotiated.
London, Jan. 5.-The Times COM
menting editorially this morning upon
the statement of the Cologne Gazette
that since Thursday last negotiations
have been proceeding in London for
Chinese loan upon proposed security
of the land tax and a cession of terri
tory, denies that England has any in
tention to demand territory or to take
the lead in the partition of China. 1t
says England's policy on the contrary
aims at maintaining the Chinese empire
as the field for the extension Of trade.
In pursuing this policy we are glad to
note that England enjoys the powerful
support of the United States govern
ment as well as the public opinion of
that portion of the people which is not
swayed by blind jingo denunciations.
The cruiser Arrogant, at Devonport,
has been ordered to prepare for sea. 1t
is supposed that she will proceed to
Chinese waters. According to dis
patch from Berlin Herr Rothstein has
just returned to ST. Petersburg from a
sojourn in Berlin, where he has been
endeavoring to negotiate a Russo Chi
nese loan, with the impression that the
German banks are willing to issue the
loan if permitted to allot a portion to
English banking houses. The Cologne
Gazette's statement, however, is ac-
cepted, as official in Berlin. The North
German Gazette thinks the presence of
British warships at Port Arthur may
lead to complications.

Schenk declines to reveal it until he
has placed his discovery before the
Academy of Sciences, but he says the
influence depends upon the nature of
the food consumed by the female.

the deposits of the Klondike. 1t is as
serted that the deposits in Labrador are
on the same range as those on the Klon-
dixie. Preliminary arrangements for a

Friction Over the Election of United

Annapolis, Md, JAN. 5.-What prom
ises to be a serious split among the
republicans in the Maryland legislature
developed tonight when an attempt
was made to caucus for officers of the
general assembly, which convenes to-
morrow. Twelve of the eighteen men,
bers from Baltimore refused to take
part in the caucus and the other men,
bers met without them. The recalci-
trants are known as the "Maltser fac

that the Malserites will combine with
the democrats and organize the lower
house tomorrow.
