INSULT TO ARCHBISHOP.
ROWDK AT ARBITRATION MASS
 MEETING.

While Ireland is Speaking in New York
 Man shouts Out aGiye Some One
 Else a Chancen-The Speaker at Once
 Sits Down-Audience Hoots the Man
 and Applauds the Archbishop UntIl
 He Resumes His Address.
 New York, Dec. 16.-A mass meeting, called to urge the prompt ratification of the arbitration treaties recently signed by the state department with several of the leading foreign powers, was held tonight at Carnegie hall, un-I der the auspices of the New York ex- ecutive committee of the American Con- ference on International Arbitration. There was a very large attendance and the speakers were repeatedly applaud ed.
 The meeting was called to order by John Crosby Brown. He expressed re gret at the absence of Andrew Carnegie, who was to have opened the meeting, but who, he said, could not be present.
 Mayor George B. Mcclellan presided and was the first speaker.
 M. Linn Bruce, lieutenant governor elect, was the next speaker.
 1t is fitting" he said, that, as residents of great state which has always been first in war and first in peace, we should give expression of our devotion to movement which is one of the highest expressions of our Chris tian civilization. The principle upon which international arbitration pro #ceeds is the same as that upon which our whole system of Jurisprudence rests. An appeal to the arbitrament of the sword to settle international diff ferences can no more be justified than the ancient appeal to personal combat #to settle differences between individ- uals.
 Archbishop Ireland was then intro- .duced. While he was speaking he was interrupted by man who cried: Give somebody else chance"
 The archbishop immediately sat down. The audience hooteG the man who had shouted and ushers tried to find him., but failed. Then the audience applaud ed until Archbishop Ireland resumed his speech.
 Letters from Grover Cleveland, Carl Schurz, Andrew Carnegie and General Nelson A. Miles were read, after which Bishop Henry c. Potter was introduced and spoke briefly

 May Come Soon.

Fall River. Mass, Dec. 16.-Renewed hope oi a settlement of the prolonged cotton mill strike in this city was given tonight by the announcement that an other conference had been arranged be- tween representatives of the strikers and the mill owners.
 This conference will take place to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock. and 1t is understood that every effort will be made to put an end to a strike that has thrown nearly 26,OOO operatives out of employment and been attended with much suffering. despite the aid receiv- ed from sympathetic unions through out the country.
 The strike began twenty-two weeks ago, when the operatives refused to ac- cept a new wage schedule, which re duced the price list F 1-2 per cent. It is quite generally believed here tonight that the end of the strike is in sight.

MUCH DESULTORY FIRING

 Enemy-stoesseI Again Wounded.
 Russian, headquarters, Mukden, Dec. 16.-There was considerable desultory firing on both sides to-day. The Jap anese made an advance, but it proved to be only demonstration.
 Night sorties continue. A curious melee resulted last night from simul- taneous advance of both Russians and Japanese. Two columns of Japanese, taking advantage of the darkness, ad- vanced on Russan positions, and at the same time the Russian column set out for the village 'of. Nanganza. The Rus sian column heard the Japanese firing in the direction of their base, and thought they had been discovered, but held Nanganza while sappers mined and then retired. The Japanese re-entered the village, where they were greeted with a tremendous explosion, which killed many of them. In the meantime. l the Japanese columns operating in the direction of the Russians heard the ex- plosion and thought they had been out l fianked, whereupon they retired. The Japanese and Russians met as each side was returning. Both were utterly surprised. A hand to hand scuffie in the darkness ensued, but as it was i'm possible to distinguish friend from foe probably little damage was done on either side. The Russian loss was only Ione
 The night of December IA the Rus sian scouts penetrated to the village of Fanshen, where they destroyed a Jap- aneses signal tower and carried off an l old bell which had been used by the Japanese to signal the approach of Rus sian troops.

 I Out of these funds about 10000 skin coats have been purchased and assem- bled at Tien Tsin. ready for dispatch to Mukden. The Japanese military au- thorities, however, fearing that the Russians would benefit by these gifts refuse to allow them to be sent to the Russian lines and threaten to confiscate l them if captured The Russians, it has been learned, promise to refrain from taking the advantage feared by the Japanese, but the latter decline to ac- cept it's assurance and the result must I be disastrous to the Chinese, whose vil- flages and crops have been destroyed and who are now suffering from scar city of both food and fuel.
 In Chinse circles much dissatisfaction is expressed because of inability to help l their suffering countrynen.

ANOTHER CIRCULAR NOTE.
Sent Out Py Hay Regarding Coming
 Peace Conference.

Sent Out " Hay Regarding Coming
 Peace Conference.
 Washington, Dec. 16. Secretary Hay to-day transmitted to the American ambassadors and ministers accredited to the powers signatory to The Hague convention. for presentation to several foreign offices, a circular note giving a summary of the replies to his note of last October suggesting a second Hague conference at The Hague to complete the work begun by the firsyt confer- 3ence The note later will be made pub lie by the department. The effect of the note is permanently to record the acceptance, in principle, by all the pow CTS addressed, of this governments sug- gestion. The fixing of the date for this assembly is a subject for further dis. cussion as Russia in her acceptance in serted the condition that the conference do not convene until her war with Japan had ended. In the reply of Japan the state department finds a very reas- onabIe provision that this conference, in the event that it should be called during the continuance of the present war shall not in it's findings affect this conict. So reasonable does this sugges- tion appear to several neutral powers that it is thought possible 1t may yet commend itself to all the powers, in cluding Russia. In case the conference specifically exenpts from the scope of its rules the present war, 1t is the opin- ion of officials of this government, as well as a number of diplomats, that neither of the belligerents can reason ably object to the immediate convening of the conference.

]. B. SARGENT'S CASE
 DISCUSSED IN HOUSE
ACTION OF CUSTOMS INSPECTOR
 ATEL PAso ATTACKED.

Characterised by MT. GoIdfogle, of New
 York, as an Outrage-aIessrs. sperry
 and Hill Defend Mir. Sargent, Who,
 the Inspector Alleged, Attempted to
 smuggIe Some Mexican Drawn Work
 Into the Country-Bim for His Relief.
 Washington, Dec. 16.-To-day's ses- sion of she house was given over almost exclusively to consideration of bills on the private calendar, dozen or more being passed.
 In the course of consideration of bill for the relief of Joseph B. Sargent, of New Haven, Conn, who was detain- ed some time ago by a customs inspec- tor at Fl Paso, Texas. on charge of smuggling Mexican drawn work into the United States. MT. Goldfogle, of New York, characterized the inspectors action as an outrage and as sample of the peculiar methods by which thou sands of travellers are unjustly held up by government officers.
 MT. Stephens, of Texas, vigorously defended the inspector at Fl Paso as a capable officer, and said his affidavit in the case should be given full credence.
 Messrs. Sperry and Hill, of Connecti- cut, with equal emphasis defended MT. Sargent, and said he would not make a false statement, which brought from MT. Maddox. of Georgia, the inquiry as to whether there had been any com plaint to the president about the cus- toms inspector. MT. Hill was unable to answer, whereupon Mr. Maddox con- tended that if the statement as to the action of the inspector was true he should be removed from office.
 MT. Sargent stated last night in refer ence to the above dispatch that in May, 1899 he was returning with Mrs. Sar- gent from stay of two months or so in Mexico, where Mrs. Sargent purchas- ed some valuable Mexican drawn work, which she intended as gifts to her friends in this city and elsewhere. This was found by the inspector at Fl Paso, Texas, on going through the baggage. and he immediately seized it on the ex- cuse that 1t was dutiable and that MT. Sargent had attempted to smuggle it into the United States. After some de- lay the articles were released, Mir. Sar- gent paying, under protest, between $500 and $500 in duties. He claimed the entire transaction was illegal and as a result had a bill presented to congress for his relief, or, in other words, the return of the money he paid to the in- { spector.

Fires and Crackers.
From the Brooklyn Eagle

FROM the brooklyn Eagle.
We have to believe whatever statistics tell
us. hence we ought to accept the statement
that in single year the fires in this coun-
try were due more to incendiarism than to
any, other one cause. For 1t seems that
1927 of the CONGREGATIONS were purpOsely
started by people who wanted to collect the
insurance, while the boy who plays with
matches and strews f1recrackers about the
street succeeded In destroying only TAI
pieces Of property. unless some of the fires
attributed to sparks are Of his lighting, for
there were 715 of them. not from locomo-
tives People who toss lighted cigarette
butts and hot pipe ashes into waste paper
baskets called out the fire department only
2O3 times. while the bursting OF decorous
lamps played 430 mischiefs. These fires
cost in all a hundred millions of dollars,
and Ii does not make the loss any less
grievous to realize that all of 1t, except
what the incendiaries caused. might have
been prevented. The rest was carelessness
and indifference, the selfish indifference of
the man who. SO long as he gets light for
his pipe, seems not to care whether the
match goes into the river or into a pile of
shavings. The most easily preventable OF
the fires are those arising from our insane
manner Of celebrating the Fourth OF July
They could be prevented by endorsements
OF the law against firing pistols and burn
ing gunpowder in the PUBLIC streets and
against the placing on sale Of explosives
before a certain day.

Dalllness.

From the New York Journal of Commerce.
1t is common to attribute the present
dragging condition Of business in this coun-
try to hesitation account of the preSi-
dental campaign but that is by no means
at the bottom of It, The political situation
causes no apprehension and contains no ele-
ment of excitement or alarm. 1t would be
difficult to recall a national campaign that
absorbed less attention from other inter-
eStS than this does thus far. The condi-
tions that have brought about the present
business situation have been developing for
at least three years and are quite indie
pendent of politics. The reaction that be-
gan to be felt early last year, and has made
itself felt with an increasing tension ever
since, was caused by check upon domestic
consumption, due to the high level to which
prices were pushed by combinations of cap
ital and labor, just as the previous indus
trial activity was started and impeiled on
ward by the reviving and growing demand
for consumption under the low prices of a
period of depression.
