Chicago, March 1s.-Max Gartman,
who was arrested in the pawnshop Of
Jacob Klein last night, is said to have
fieeced pawnbrokers throughout the
country of more than $4,000. An al
10y, the composition of which is
known to Gartman alone, is the me.
dunn through which the men were
swindled. In hundreds of shops in
New York, Philadelphia and Chicago,
watch chains, apparently gold, are
stored away as souvenirs of the mans
operations. The ordinary gold tests
seem to show a solid and heavy gold
chain and plain charms. The articles
appear to be worth $40 to $50, and
Gartman had little difficulty in OBJ
tanning loans of SEQ or $25 on them.

TREATY rs RATIFIED
Colombian Canal Measure Passed
the Senate by 70 to s.
Nota single Change e Msde-A General
Understanding That the Cuban Reel
procity Treaty win He Ratified
By Safe Majority.

Washington, March 1s.-Without
dotting an 81" or crossing a st."
even without changing single pune
tuation mark, the senate voted to
ratify the treaty with the republic
of Colombia for the construction OF
an isthmian canal. The vote for
ratification was 70 in the affirmative
to five in the negative. The senate
was in executive session when the
result was announced, so that only
the senator's themselves and n few
confidential employees were present.
The day was given up almost en-
tirely to general debate. on the
treaty and, in addition to the set
speeches made under the general
agreement by Senators Morgan and
Cullom, there were many short adj
dresses and q rather long speech by
Senator Daniel, of Virginia. The
only party vote of the day was taken
on the sub for article 4, which was
agreed upon by the democratic eau
Gus and had reference to the acqui-
sition of territory in Central and
South America by the United States.
There were number of speeches on
this amendment, but it was voted
down by an almost twO-thirds major
ity, the ballot footing up 81 ayes to
25 noes.
Most of the senators left the capt.
tol last night in the firm conviction
that it would be possible to con-
clude the called session to-day and
that when the senate would next adj
iourn the adjournment would be
sine die. This conclusion involved
quite a general understanding that
the Cuban reciprocity treaty could
be much more speedily disposed of
than has been considered possible
heretofore.

A COMPLETE ROSTER.
All the Officers and Men of the Union and
Confederate Armies to He Published by
the War Department.

Washington, March 17.-By direc-
ton of Secretary Root the war de-
rartment yesterday embarked on
the extensive work of compiling and
publishing a complete roster of the
officers and enlisted men of the union
and confederate armies. The publ
cation wills be enormous in size, in
Guiding no less than 30 volumes as
large as the rebellion records. The
northern names will be published
with the southern, because it is de-
sired to have all of these data in one
publication, instead of being scat
tered through various state books.
Moreover, it is felt to be graceful
thing to bracket the names of the
men who wore the blue and the gray.
In order to carry out this purpose,
Secretary Root yesterday sent a let
ter to the governors of all states
which furnished troops for the con-
federate armies, asking their coop
Grafton with the department in the
effort to make this compilation as
nearly complete as it is possible.
