Mr.. Charles Kortz is a Waterman in

sheriff, but Bert Lucas doesn't know il.
For many moons this guardian of the
y. p. property has labored under the
delusion that he was high muck of the
North side, and that policemen were
only chumps, plain chumps. OF late
he has conceived the erroneous idea
that they have no business on railroad
property, and no right to arrest a man
in the yards except on a warrant or at
his personal request Last night he
tried to convince Officer Riley that
policeman had no such right, but he
was wrong. The policeman, who had
spent the entire day in chasing Bud
Morgan, with no sleep for thirty-si1

terfering with an officer.

Fncts Ahnnt the RihIe.

Twenty-eight huge volumes Of the
British museum catalogue contain moth
ing but titles of different editions of
the Bible and commentaries upon it.
Two Bible societies, one in London,
one in New York have printed 25O,-
000,O00 copies of the whole book or
part of it in a hundred years. There
are similar societies in other cities and
countries, and many private firms have
printed Bibles for commercial profit.
But for the work of these societies
we might never dream that more than
1853 languages or dialects are spoken
and read in the world. The London
society alone has used that number.
Only about one-third of all the Bibles
printed in London are in English. In
the east dialects are especially numer-
Gus. Dr. Riggs, the missionary, has
heard twenty different LIMOGES in one
crossing of the footbridge over the
Golden Horn at Constantinople.
For Armenians alone the Bible must
be printed in various fashions - Ar
menian in Turkish script, Armenian in
Greek script, Armenian in what is
called the Armenian character, besides
that for Armenians who no longer
speak their own language.

tions Admiral Dewey made to Presi-
dent Roosevelt regarding the interview

Gently in a Newark, N, j., paper and in
which the German navy and the Ger
man emperor were mentioned. No COM
munication on the subject has passed
between the foreign Office and the Ger
man embassy at Washington, because
the officials here, from the beginning,
felt certain that if Admiral Dewey had
been correctly reported the government
Of the United States would do every
thing proper on its own initiative,
without any reminder from her.
Count Won Reventlow, in the Tage-
blatt, compares the German and Amer

Atlantic City, N. j., April -Four
passengers, Captain Otto Korhg, and
the crew of twenty-five men OF the
Norwegian fruit steamer Brighton,
from Port Antonio, Jamaica to New
York. stranded on a bar OF the inlet, 200
yards from the upper end of Atlantic
avenue, were reached yesterday despite
the angry sea by the crew Of the lie
saving station.
The passeners are: w. S. Dimmick'
Boston; W. A. Peters, Boston; R. J.
Reid, Brooklyn; G. J. Reid, Mount
Forest. Ontario Canada.
In all probability the vessel can never
be foated. The crew threw the cargo
of bananas and cocoanuts overheard to
light the stranded boat. According to
the story of Mr.. Peters, the steamer
left Port Antonio at IL o'clock at night,
March "a, with a cargo of $4,000 bunch
es of bananas and 200 bags of cocoa
nuts. On Sunday last at in the morn
ing a severe gale was encountered on
Cape Hatteras. and soon afterward a
dense fog fell which continued night
and day, the captain running under

and showed 18 fathoms Of water The
boat was running at half speed. Sud
denly the steamer came to full stop,
having run up the inlet and gone on
the bar. The forward tank of the
steamer is full Of water, and she is
listed to starboard. Her position is
such that it will be almost impossible
to get a wrecker beside her She was

cabinet Of President Garfield. to repre-
sent the United States at The Hague
when the arbitration tribunal consid-
ers the question of preferential treat
ment as between the allied and the
non allied powers having claims
against Venezuela. In view of the
smaIlness of the claims of some Of the
non-allied powers, it is not improbable
that Mr.. MacVeagh may be requested
also to assume charge of other interests
than those Of his countrymen. Other
wise there will be a most formidable
array of legal talent to present some
rather insignificant issues.

Havana, March SO.-The treaty Of
reciprocity between Cuban and the
United States was approved at 8
pollock Saturday night in the Cuban
senate by vote of IL to 8. This ap-
proyal is absolute, and is not ham
pered by any conditions, the question
able time limit amendment having
been dispensed with after the receipt
Of a message from Secretary Hay, in
which it was positively declared that
President Roosevelt would call spe-
cial session of congress prior to De-
cember 1.
The purport of this assurance was
transmitted to the senate by Presi-
dent Palma and read at the beginning
Of the session. an understanding hav-
ang been reached previously with SEN
Rtors Bustamente, Capote and Dolz,
composing the majority of the foreign
relations committee, that the objec-
kionable condition in the report be
eliminated.
Final action was delayed for a long
time by the discussion of an amend
ment offered by Senators Sanguilly,
Tamayo and Recio, requiring the house
70 pass upon the treaty Senator San
gully argued that while the constitu-
tion was not explicit upon this point,
that the representatives in congress of
the people ought to be consulted as
well as the commercial interests,
whose opinions the committee had
sought eagerly. He cited the actions
OF the United States, and said Cuba
was afraid that the treaty would be
defeated If submitted to the house.
Senator Dolz admitted that this was a
good reason, and quoted the constitu-
aion to show that reference to the
house was not required.
Senator Sanguilly, in a long and i'm
passioned speech against the ratifica-
aion of the treaty, impressively pic
tured the gradual absorption of Cuba
BY the United States, in which he said
the present action was one step. He
argued that it was practically dis
graceful for Cuba to be a party to such
q scheme. The speakers wit and elO-
quence caused occasional bursts Of
approving applause from the specta-
tors, and when he concluded he was
greeted with a roar of applause, in
which all the senators Joined.
The amendment requiring the
house to pass on the treaty was de-
feated by a vote of to Is.
The vote was taken separately on
each section Of the substitute report
The vote on the unconditional ratifl-
cation of the treaty was IL to 8; on the
accommodation to the executive it
was II to 9.
The present session Of the senate
then adjourned. The ratihcations will
be exchanged by cable.
United States Minister Squiers said:
'The ratification of the treaty with
Dut amendment is due almost entirely
TO the assurances given by President
Roosevelt that he will call an extra
session of congress before December
q. This action of the president will
be appreciated and accepted by the
Cuban government and people as an
additional evidence of the most sin
cere friendship and interest on the
part of a man in whom they have ever
had unbounded faith and confidence"
