ARBITRATION WAS REFUSED.
The Claim of AustrO- Hungary for
Damages Finally Rejected by
the United States.

Washington, July 1.-THE officials
here confirm the advices from Vienna
that plan of arbitration, proposed as
/; means of settling claims growing
out of the Hazleton iPa.) riots, has
been rejected by the United States.
This probably disposes of the matter,
according to the view held here. as !.
has lun the entire gamut of diplo-
mauc negotiations, and all of the
plans of settlement, including the last
one CT arbitration, have come to
Gaught.
At the outset the state department.
called the attention of the governor of
Pennsylvania, who in turn awaited
the action of the jury, at Hazleton.
which tried the sheriff on the charge
of murder. The jury acquitted the
sheriff, whereupon the Pennsylvania
authorities held that they could not
recognize responsibility which jury
had held did not exist.
The state department took n similar
view, whereupon Austria-Hungary pro-
POSED arbitration of the claims. 1t is
this last proposal which is rejected,
which seems to close the matter, as
the claims are hardly considered of
sufficient Importance to justify Au-
siria-Hungary to go beyond the diplo-
matte representations she has already
made

NOTED WAGERS.

One man afflicted with the gambling
spirit was Sir Mark Sykes. He offered
TO pay anyone guinea a day for each
day Napoleon lived, provided the taker
would pay 100 guineas down. A clergy
man accepted the offer and made fine
profit, as Napoleon lived three years.
A nobleman of England made a
wager of $500 100 years ago that a
man could live IL hours under water.
A man who was reckless of life offered
to go down and was sunk in an old
ship. Neither the man nor the shin
was recovered.
Sir John Slade, a very small man.
bet $1,000 that he could carry a friend
who weighed about five times as much
as himself distance of 200 yards. The
day came and a large assembly of men
and women gathered to witness the re-.
markable deed. Sir John told his friend
to remove his clothes-that he had
agreed to carry the man, not the gar
ments. Of course the friend refused
and lost the money.

PREFERS OLD VOLUNTEERS.
hut Under the Law Men Must he En-
listed without Discrimination
as They Apply.

Washington, July 11.-Secretary Al
ger is very anxious to have the new
regiments recruited as far as possible
from men who served as volunteers
during the Spanish war. He has re-
ceived information from a number of
officers, especially those who were on
duty mastering out the volunteers IN
different states, that if there was an
opportunity afforded probably 30 per
cent. of the new regiments would be
composed of these men. OF course
under the regulations the recruiting
officers can not discriminate between
the men who have been in She volun-
teer service and those who have not.
and men will be enlisted as they apply
without regard To their previous serv-
ice records.

THIRD BRIDGE AT ST. LOUIS.
A New Board of Army oheers or~
dered TO Pass Upon Prepares
Plans for the structure

Washington, July 11.-Secretary Al,
per ordered the appointment of a new
board of army officers to pass upon the
plans for the proposed third prluge
across the Mississippi river at II.
Louis. Nc. between the two other
bridges now spanning that waterway.
This action was decided upon after a
hearing which the secretary gave 10
the parties who are interested IN the
construction of the brioge. ana VINO
oppose the. recommendation OF the
nreyent board that the principal span
of tie structure should be roo feet
i'm length. The board twice reported
in favor of the 700-foot main span, and
the second hearing at st. Louis was
granted because the bridge promoters
were unwilling to undertake its con-
struction on the lines proposed by the
engineer officers. The persons inter
ested insisted that to require the main
span to be 700 feet was practically
prohihitive, because the great expense
involved would compel excessive tolls
to be charged, and make the enterprise
commercially Improbable. Further
more, they claimed there was no ne
cessity for such an extended span.
They believed authority should be
granted to construct the bridge, and
WEI willing to make the main span
about the same as those of the two
ether bridges across the river, which
~, from $50 70 200 feet less than the
span favored by the board.
The whole matter was again gone
ever before the secretary at the hear
ing yesterday, and in view of the great
interests involved, he decided to APP
point an entirely new board thor
oughlS familiar with the river, and
the requirements of the locality to
pass upon the question.
