THE NEWBERRY PosTcFF1cE.
Receipts Now Entitle Newberry To
A Postofice of The Second
Class.

The receipts of the Newbe-ry post
office now reach more than S8,oeo per
year, emitting Newberry to pose:
Office of the second class, instead OF
the third class, as at present. The
local authorities have as yet received
no official notification from the gov.
ernment of any change, but the gen
eral impression, which seems to be
we'll founded, is that the change will
be made on July I. Some time ago
an agent of the government was IN
Newberry and notified owners OF
suitable property that bids would be
received and considered for the use
of their property by the government
for period of FIVE OF ten years. This
does not mean necessarily that the
postofice will be removed from its
present quarters, but that the building
which it now occupies will be placed
in competition with other suitable To-
cations.
The Newberry postofice being at
present in the third class, the post
master receives salary Of $1,000 per
wear and fursishes boxes and outfit.
Should the Office be promoted to the
second class the postmaster's salary
would be increased to $4,000 per year
and everything would be furnished
by the government, including clerk
hire.
1t is confidently expected that no
tice of the change will shortly be re-
ceived.'

Princeton Senior and Intended Missionary
Taken 10 Bellevue.

Dong Seung, a senior at Princeton and
son Of a prosperous Chinese Of Canton,
went violently insane yesterday afternoon
at the Chinese Mission House at 20 West
Ninth street and tried to kill young China
man employed in the house. he was sent
10 the psychopathio ward at Bellevue.
Dong is % years old. He came to this

STATEMENT or THE sHUBERTs.
The Shuberts made the following state
ment yeste rday afternoon:
Owing 70 the fact that the Casino is
now and has been since noon in the hands
Of the Fire Department. it is impossible
to correctly approximate the damage
done to the building or TO the scenery and
costumee used in Lady Teazle. For
the same reason. il cannot be said posi-
lively when the house will be reopened 10
the public. From what can be gathered OF
the damage done the production, it may be
stated positively that Lillian Russell will
open her road season in Lady Teazle' at
Troy. n. Y. on Feb. 20. and win then 60 to
the Hollis Street Theatre, Boston.
Both Of these arrangements were made
before the fire. Miss Russell will be likely
to return TO New York later in the present
season The Casino is the property OF
the Bixby estate, the representative OF
which will not be in town until Tuesday.
and we shall then be better able to say what
alterations will be made IN the theatre
itself Persons holding seats for any per-
Torrance Of Lady Teazle' may exchange
them for tickets at the Lyric OF the Princess
or may secure return of their money at
the box Office OF either house.
Lillian Russell and Jesse Lewisohn oocu-
pied a box at the Manhattan Theatre last
night. The fire at the Casino has given
Miss Russell a vacation.

STEAMBOAT INSPECTION BILLS.
Provisions OF the Seven Measures Passed
by the House Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE seven steam
boat inspection bills which the House
passed to-day we're all drawn for the pur-
pose Of preventing disasters such as the
burning OF the General Socum. One Of
them gives authority TO local inspectors Of
hulls to inspect boilers also TO determine
II they are well made and appear calculated
to meet the demands Of the service for
which they are TO be used
Another bill, in prescribing the qualifi-
cations o! inspectors Of hulls, requires
them to be men Of experience in shipbulld-
ing or navigation, so that they may render
q reliable opinion g to the servlceableness
OF the boilers and machinery. 1t also
amends the provision Of the law requiring
licensed officers 10 serve when called upon.
unless they can show good reason for re-
fusing. so that the certificate OF an officer
refusing may be suspended or revoked as
the necessities of the case may demand.
As the law now stands revocation Is the only
penalty.
AAoiner bill prohibits the carrying OF
loose hay, kerosene or other infiammable
material on vessels in the passenger trade.
An exception is made in favor OF Kerosene
that win not ignite under certain tests,
where the passenger vessel Is the only
practicable means OF getting II 10 the point
where it is desired to send it.
The most drastic provision in any OF the
bills is that which authorizes inspectors to
tie up a ship that has net complied with
the orders made by the Inspectors This
provision was inserted to cover cases such
as arose after the Slocum disaster, when
the Grand Republic was known 20 be run
ming without proper fire protection. The
inspectors could not prevent her Leaving

WHAT WILL THE PREsIpENr DO?
After adjournment number of Sena tors
were asked what they expected the Presi-
dent TO do under the circumstances They
replied that notwithsta nding his intima-
ton that the treaties would he held up. they
believed he would accept the amendment
as having been made in good faith and
would exchange ratifcations. They ex-
pressed the conviction that the President
would come to the conclusion that the
Senate had acted within it's constitutional
powers and that the purpose OF the trea ties
was not by any means hampered by the
requirement. that special treaties shall be
made in each ca Sc OF arbitration.
One or two Senators added that II the
President should now refuse TO exchange
ratification OF the treaties the relations
between the Executive and the Senate
would become strained, for the reason that
such action would be regarded as petu-
liant and unwarranted attempt TO thWart
the Senate in its participation In the treaty
making power.
Under all OF to-day's debate, unmis-
takably, was the current Of disquetude
regarding the Santo Domingo situation.
Several Senators who are usually extremely
guarded in their expressions, and whose
opinions voice the prevailing sentiment
OF the Senate, declared their belief that the
arbitration arrangement with Santo Do
mingo. whereby two ports are now oc-
cupied by the United States. was in fact
treaty, which had never been passed upon
by the Senate and was therefore null and
void
They declined to express any opinion
regarding the treaty which has recently
been made with Santo Domingo, as they
preferred to wait and inspect the, document
Itself But they intimated that before the
Senate adjourned demand would be forth
coming for complete information regarding
the arran cement With Santo Doming go

placed In charge OF the customs receipts or

we're held in readiness 20 use force in holding
those ports.
