AUSTRIAN CLAIMS REJECTED.
Proposed Arbitration OF HaxeIton
Riot Questions Declined.


VIENNA July fO.-The United States
Government has declined the proposal Of
the Government Of Austria Hungary 20
arbitrate the claims for damages arising
from the death Of Austrian-H Hungarian
subjects during the rioting at Hazelton.
Pa, in September, 1897.
PROBABLY ENDS THE MATTER.
WASHINGTON. July 1O.-The officials
here confirm the adyices from Vienna
that plan Of arbitration. proposed as a
means of settling claims growing out Of
the Hazelton Pa) riots. had been re-
jected by the United States. This proba-
bly, disposes of the matter. according 10
the view held here. as 1t has run the en-
tire gamut of diplomatic negotiations, and
all of the plans Of settlement. including
the last one Of arbitration, have come TO
naught
At the outset the State Department
called the matter 10 the attention Of the
Governor OF Pennsylvania. who I'm turn
awaited the action of the grand jury at
Hazelton which tried the Sheriff on the
charge OF murder. The jury acquitted
the Sheriff; whereupon the Pennsylvania
authorities held that they could not
recognize a responsibility which a jury
had held did not exist. The state Depart
ment took a similar view; whereupon
Austria Hungary proposed arbitration Of
the claims.
AZ Is This last proposal which Is reject
cd. and il seems ITO close the matter as
the claims are hardly considered Of suffi-
cient Importance TO justify Austria Hun
gary in going beyond the diplomatic rep
resentation she has made already.

The Allegemeine Montags Zeitung adj
mits, however. that the Legal standpoint
adopted as the reason for refusal de-
prives this Of any offensive or hostile
character, and says it is inconceivable
that the reply Of the United States Gov
eminent should lead to any retallatory
measures on the part of the Austrian
Government or to conflict between the
two Powers.
The papers consider that the matter
will now be dropped

WOMEN BOOM 4 TOWN.
Success ns Aldermen May Lead to
Choice of Woman us Mayor


LINCOLN, y. j., July 10.-The little
town Of Lincoln, y. j., having taken
breath after the first great effort which
resulted in a board Of women aldermen,
is now thinking seriously Of having a
woman mayor. There is a good reason
for this. 1t is that the 300 inhabitants Of
Lincoln have found their Council OF wo-
men great managers, who have made the
town a thoroughly up-to-date place. Silas
Dewey Drake, the present Mayor, would
like to have another term, but he has but
one hope-perhaps the women can't agree
on their candidate. In two years the
women have secured for the town all
modern improvements The streets are
paved and severed electric lighting has
been installed, and electric cars connect
Lincoln with all the big cities Of Jersey.
