PROTECTION TO SAILORS.


William Mccarthy, the shipping mas
ter, met the penalty of being utterly
forgetful of warnings, in the Federal
court yesterday. He was fined $50 and
costs by Judge Dole for OBTAINING a sea
mans clothes as pledge.
7. I. Dunno, Assistant District At
tornev was called to testify with regard
TO McCarthy's defense that Mr.. Dunno
advised him that he would be within
the law by buying a sailors clothes I'M
der bill of sale. Inc witness utterly
contradicted the statement. District
Attorney Breckons stated that he had
warned Mccarthy several times against
the practice before laying the informa-
ton.
Judge Dole regarded it as somewhat
of a test case, therefore not requiring
a heavy fine. He commented on the
plea of defense in the manner following
"The defense is that the sailor had
executed a document which was a
transfer of title in the clothes. The OBJ
ject of the statute is TO protect sailors,
who are irnprovident as a class and are
treated as children, and are much ex-
posed to the rapacity of all kinds OF
persons ON shore, particularly that OF
Shipping masters and keepers of sailors,
boarding houses. The intention OF the
law, as | gather it, is to prevent sailors
from losing their clothing, which IS
necessary to the carrying on OF their
business-much as the law secures me
chanics in their tools. The law is even
stronger with regard to sailors, for IT
proIabits not only the attachment, but
the detention as wen, of clothes. he
theory of the defense, if correct, would
~
ANY shipping master might detain sail
ors' clothes by securing signatures to
document of this kind, which IN nine
cases out of ten the sailor would sign
without reading, as in this case.
STEAMSHIP GAELIC RELEASED.
Another case under the maritime laws
was decided by Judge Dole yesterday,
being the libel brought against the .. &
o. S. S. Gaelic by Chez Sheat Ii and
E. Kin Fong. They claimed that upon
an outbreak OF smallpox aboard the
steamer they were removed from berths
in the European Storage, for which
they had paid, and placed in the Asia
ed for libellants. who claimed 500 dam
ages each. and Henry E Cooper for the
steamship.
Evidence of Captain Finch and Purser
Chapin. also of F. w. Klebahn of Fl.
Hackfeld & Co. agents, was to the effect
that there was but one class of Storage
in the Gaelic. and that lbellants were
sold straight steerage tickets with the
understanding that IN case OF sickness
their berths might have to be changed
When this eventuality did occur, they
were carefully and safely changed to
good quarters.
Judge Dole dismissed the libel: say
ing that in case OF an outbreak OF con
tagious disease, such as smallpox, the
of3ce-s OF the vessel had right to
change the berfhs of passengers. II It I
was for the safety OF the crew and other

FRANCE AND UNITED STATES
EXPECTED TO MAKE TREATY.
Negotiations to Begin After the Elec-
tion May Lead to Other I'm
poftant Conferences.

Washington, Oct. 31-France and the
United States expect to begin the nego-
tiation of an arbitration treaty at Wash
ington soon after the presidential election.
The treaty will be known as the Hay
Jusserand arbitration treaty, and, accord
Ing to the present programme, will follow
closely the lines of the British-French ar
bttration treaty.
Some time ago the French Government,
through Its Ambassador at Washington,
informed Secretary Hay that France was
ready and willing to conclude such a con-
ventton whenever 1t was the pleasure of
the United States. In view Of the fact that
the election was coming on, the Washing
ton Government expressed Its thanks for
part Of the French Republic, and fntinated
a desire to open negotiations this winter.
Widespread interest has been aroused
throughout the Diplomatic Corps by the
announcement OF Secretary Hay In his re-
cent New York speech that the Govern
ment hoped soon to begin the preparation
Of arbitration treaties with all countries
willing to sign them. There is already
evident among European diplomats keen
desire to take the lead in this movement.
1t Is pointed out that, while there are
few questions Of importance pending be-
tween this country and France, the nego-
tiation of an arbitration treaty at a time
will insure an early conclusion Of the con-
vention.
It is believed that Italy will be found IA
vorable to the negotiation Of arbitration
with this country, and also Great Britain,
though In the case @ Of the t latter tie. country It
must come from the American Govern
ment,

THE FOG MAY CLEAR TO-DAY.
Fair Weather Rel orted to Have
Generally Prevailed.

No material change in the weather for
to-day will take place. according to the
local forecast made yesterday. The sky
will remain fair and the same light
breezes that have blown for the last two
or three days will keep the temperature
down.
Smoke and fog obscured the city yester-
day, and were caused by an upper layer
Of heavy atmosphere, which pressed the
smoke close to the earth. 1t is thought
by the local forecaster that this fog will
clear away to-day.
In all sections Of the country. excepting
Texas, Washington and Montana, where
showers fell. fair weather prevailed.
The highest temperature recorded yes
terday in st. Louis was 60 degrees. and
the lowest was 60 degrees.
