GAMBLING IN GERMAN ARMY.
Scandals III Berlin and Hanover Dis
cussed in the RcichstaS.

Berlin, Feb. I'm the Reichstag yester-
Gay there was a discussion of the recent
gambling scandals in Berlin and Han
over. in which number of army officers
are implicated. The minister of war,
General Won Gosser. expressed regret at
the occurrence. and said the Emperor was
proceeding unsparingly against those who
were concerned in the scandals in order to
uproot the evil. AS a matter of fact, he
added, gambling in the army had decreas-
ed, and the expediency was being consider
ed of compelling officers to inform the au-
thorities. in the event of their receiving
offers OF money. which were often of a
shameless character and even emanating
from abroad. which were made with the
view of inducing them TO gamble
The authorities also intended that the
military cadets should be seriously en-
lightened regarding the dangers besetting
them.

Rochelle police are searching for James
Cosgrove, a well-known business man Of
this place. who disappeared mysteriously
last Wednesday. Cosgrove is the propri-
etor of hotel in Main Street. He lived

Street, and last Wednesday he arranged
with Father Kellner. pastor of st. Gabriel's
Church, to have the baby baptized on
Sunday He then took a train for New
York, and has not been seen since.
Mrs Cosgrove is unable to account for
her husbands disappearance, as they had
always lived happily together and business
was good. She is inclined to believe that
he has met with foul play or has drowned
himself. All he took with him was $40
in cash. and he wore an ordinary business
suit leaving several hundred dollars in
the bank and his good clothes behind Cos

Barre. Vt, Feb. Emma Goldman, the
New York Anarchist. Tuesday night was
prevented from giving her address on '-Au-

officials Yesterday morning she made this
statement: .-.
Where is your free country and your

papers have lied about me. They are all
tied down and are, slaves to the men who

at the action that has been taken. l and
others who believe with me have been
stopped from speaking in public before.
But there is one thing that | want the
people of Barre to remember. l am not
done with Barre yet. neither are the An
archists done with Barre. l shall come

WELLINGTON ON THE TREATY.
The Maryland Senator VIII Vote for
Ratification.

VRt1ncItfOn.
Baltimore. Feb. 2.-Senator George L.
Wellington, who was in Baltimore today,
said that he believed that the Peace Treaty
would be ratified, practically without
amendments.
Mr.. Wellington said that he himself was
in favor of amending the Treaty so as to
prevent the acquisition of the Philippine
Islands, but that he could see no prospect
of securing votes enough to adopt such an
amendment. When asked as to how he
expects to vote when the Senate takes final
action on the Treaty he said:
81 have not decided that question. /
am opposed to the Treaty and do not think
the country ought to be placed in a posi-
tion of responsibility for the government
of such distant colonies. But the question
may be narrowed down to choice of sew
eral evils, in which case l shall choose
what | consider the least, and may feel
obliged to vote for the Treaty, although l
shall do so with great reluctance, should
| reach such conclusion
The impression gained from Mr.. Yelling
toms conversation was that in the end he
would vote for the ratification of the
Treaty whether it was amended or not,
This is a significant statement, as the Sen
ator has been counted as in the opposition
TO the end.

TROLLEY TO THE PYRAMIDS.
Nile boats and DonI>eys to Give Way

Pittsburg. Pa, Feb. 2.-Coatraets were
closed by the Westinghouse Electric Com
pany yesterday for the equipment of four
teen trolley cars for line in Cairo, Egypt.
English capitalists will build the road
which will be extended to the Pyramids
as soon as the natives become expert troll
ley dodgers.
Ordinary trans are now in operation in
Alexandria and Cairo, but they do not ex
tend beyond the city. Tourists parties for
the Pyramids have to make a slow journey
by Nile boats of an antiquated type or
overland by donkeys.
1t is proposed to make motormen of the
dragomans now employed to conduct par
ties up the Nile. These can be hired cheap
er than Englishmen. Americans will ac
company the finished equipments to in
struct the natives in the operation of the
cars.
1t is said that the order is to be followed
by others. One scheme now under consid-
Grafton is to connect Alexandria and Cairo
by trolley.

the subject. My promise has not been for

What do you propose to do for the vol
unteers?"
Well the matter is under consideration
by the militia committee of the senate
and by the military officers. There are
three plans under consideration: One is
that which is embraced in Senator Braun S
bill to give 800 to each. but those with
whom l have talked think that is too
much. Another is to give a small lump
sum OF probably s25. and the other is 10

What about some cases of suffering
that now exist in several parts of the State
where assistance is promptly requred?"
Il should think that the proper course
for those who are interested in such cases
would be to have their senator or assem-
blyman report the matter to the senate

probation of the State for the devotion

Mr.. Spooner-They would have to be re-

liberty, and who has fought for liberty
a man whose conduct in all this business

Leave them to what? Leave them TO an

There is but one course for us. and that is
TO take the cession OF the archipelago as
provided in the Treaty. and thereby sue

his principal objection to the Treaty was
that the ten million people of the Philip

Mr. Spooner, however. declined TO go
