KILLED on HIGHLY PAID jon.
Negro who Cleared Up Tunnel After n Blast
Buried Under Rock Another Dead. Too.

John Green, colored, of 1870 West l3ith
street, one Of the highest paid laborers in
the Pennsylvania Railroad tunnels, was
killed early yesterday morning by a shower
Of rock.
Green got 81 a day. His work was so
dangerous that few men could be found
to undertake it.. Green's predecessor got
sI5 a week, and was killed only a few weeks
ago. Green was working as a header.
His work was to enter after a blast and
pry all the loose rocks from the wall with
a Crowbar. He had the reputation Of being
without the sense OF fear. II was EN-
ployed in the part Of the tunnel under
Thir~ty-fOurth street and Third avenue.
Yesterday morning early he entered just
after a blast. After he had cleared up
others went in to help, Robert Tobin of
Roxbury, Mass. among them. Tobin and
Green were working at a chunk Of rock.
Suddenly a shower Of stone from the roof
fell and partly buried them. Green
was dead when removed. Tobin died in
Bellevue late last night. Both men were
M arried.

CRUISER MINNEAPOLIS LOOTED.
silver Service Given by city and Other
Naluables ~ OIen From ship.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.-Silverware and
v~aluables, including the service presented
by the city Of Minneapolis, have been
stolen from the cruiser Minneapolis at
League Island.
Secret Service men are securing pawn
shops here and in n~eighboring cities in an
effort to recover them.
Tn value OF the articles stolen aggregates
nearly $4,000. The robbery occurred on
November 25, but the navy yard officials
concealed the fact in the hope that they
could quietly track the thieves.
Every employee and uniformed man in
the yard has been questioned, but without
avail.
The Minneapolis, which recently returned
from Cuba with a battalion Of marines, was
ordered out OF commission two weeks ago.
The cruiser, then on the river front, was
ordered to the back channel. Everything
valuable, including the silver service. was
packed away in heavy trunks and locked in
the Captains cabin.
On Friday morning, November %, one
OF the officers went on board to arrange for
the remova of the trunk TO a permanent
place OF safety during the cruisers period
Of non-commission, The robbery was dis
covered then.
The door OF the Captains room had been
forced and the trunks pried open. Articles
were scattered over the floor and the silver
was gone
The puzzling part Of the case Is that
there were always people on board the
Minneapolis, including some OF the officers.

NEW TREATY WITH DOMINGO.
The President VIII Withdraw the One 10
Which the senate OBJECTED.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I'm the hope Of
meeting the objections Of the Senate the
United States Government has negotiated
an entirely new treaty with Santo Domingo
in which is an arrangement for the exercise
OF supervision over Dominican fiscal affairs.
The pending treaty, which was so vigor-
ously opposed by leading Senators without
regard to party lines, will be withdrawn
by the President, who in submitting the
substitute convention will forward a mes
sage advocating its ratification.
The most marked difference betw cen he
pending and the new treaty is that in the
new one this Government does not accept
any responsibility for the distribution of
the revenues collected by American agents
and sequestrated for the purpose of liquidat-
ing the Dominican Governments indebted
ness to foreign creditors. 1t is set forth
clearly in the new treaty also that the United
States will not accept responsibility for
determining W hat are the just obligations
Of Santo Domingo.
The Dominican Government has reached
an understanding with the foreign bond
holders az to the ~pecuniary extent to which
the Government is bound by its bonds. The
aggregate has been scaled down several
million dollars. Under the arrangement
made the foreign b~ondholders nave agreed
to. the funding Of their holdings and the
acceptance of interest bearing bonds at
low rates Of interest IN place Of the securi-
ties held by them. This arrangement,
it is C~ontended, makes it unnecessary for
any foreign power. including the United
States, to take a hand in adjusting the
foreign debt.
Very few Senators know OF the new treaty
Some of them believe that it will not meet
the Senate's objections and that it will not
be acted on at this session of Congress.

on the third floor over the reception room,
where mothers can check babies il they
do not want TO leave. them at home.
Four OF the wedding guests had already
checked their babies, but the nurse found
room for another. The mother was very
particular for 30 young a mother. She
told the nurse that the baby would be nun
CRY in about al hour and gave the nurse
a bottle 10 feed il with. The mother did
not look more than l6 years old. After
turning back to fix the child in it's crib
she went dow 20 the reception, and the
nurse saw her pass in among The orowl
Mrs. Lena Friedling, wife OF the hall
keeper. kept the baby till yesterday even
ing, always expecting that the parent
would return full Of excuses. But when
twenty-four hours were past she turned
the unclaimed little girl over to the Stage
street police station. The baby was lively
and healthy, nut only a few weeks old- It
was taken down from the station to the
city nurse in Livingston street, Brooklyn.
The bridal couple couldn't think Of any
friend who answered the description of the
young mother. Several of the guests were
no wiser. None had even noticed her in
the reception. They said the h~sndshaking
was pretty lively just at that moment, how
ever, and the stranger might easily not
have been noticed. She has not been
found.
