East Chicago. June 27.-Mike

on Saturday, and the whole police
force, to say nothing of the local con-
stabulary has been stirred up over the
of his shirt being rained upon 1t would
have been different. He could have
stood that, but to have its virgin fresh

pecially as he had worn it not more
than nineteen days, by actual account,
there seemed little excuse according to

Happened at Cirrus
1t all happened al the circus which
for the past week has been encamped
Chicago avenue. 1t was not part of
the bill, nor could the act have been
classified as special business. Mike had
been hanging about the show and one
of the hostlers, evidently jealous of
UMike's shirt, vented his spleen by
emptying the contents of wafer
tumbler upon 1t.
Mike, dripping and furious rushed
to the police station. Judging from his
appearance it was the nearest approach
to a bath he had experienced this sea

ought to do about it,

Lee opined that If he was in Mikes

NAVY REORGANIZATION.
House Committee Tentatively Ap.
proves Of Sec. Meyers Plans.

Washington. Feb. 22.-The House naval
coWmittee today voted tentative APPROX
al of Secretary Meyers plan of reOrgan-
ization. which will give the secretary the
power to put his plan into practice for
one year.
BY adopting a resolution originating
with Rep. Dawson of Iowa. the commit
tee practically reached a compromise be-
tween the rival supporters of the Meyer
and Newberly plans. The secretary
could use interchangeably, among the va
rious bureaus, the appropriations for the
fiscal year. which he would apply in ac
cordance with his reorganization ideas.
1t is specially provided. however. that
no appropriation shall be diverted from
it's original purpose and also that the sec
rotary in making his estimates for 1872
shall put them in the old form. This
practically leaves the way open for the
rejection of the Meyer plan if after a
years trial. it proves unsatisfactory.

THE CUT IN SALARY
leads to Withdrawal Of Names Of
Customs Appeals Judges.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The President
today withdrew the nominations of AL
fred C. Coke, William H. Hunt, James
Z. Smith, Grin NJ. Barnes and Marion
Devries to be judges of the court of
customs appeals.
The explanation at the White House
of the withdrawal of the nominations
vas that these positions were offered
with the understanding that the ap-
poinlees were to get $4,000 year each,
as provided in the Payne bill. Congress,
however, refused to provide more than
$1,000 each for the judges of that court
and the President felt that it would
be better to withdraw the names until
he had time to inform the men nomi
mated of the facts and ascertain
whether they We're willing to accept
under the new conditions. 1t is known
that some of the proposed judges will
not accept at the reduced salaries.
Those who are willing to serve at $1,000
will probably have their names again

time conference at London with power
to arbitratc differences between the

vention. The nature of the British
objections cannot yet be learned. but
it is believed that they are not basic
and the way may yet be opened by
subsequent negotiations, which will
clear away certain doubts in the Brit

posed new court and which will result
in an eventual agreement.

Providence Police Capture
A Desperate Man.

Providence, r. l., Feb. PA man,
who the police believe is responsible
for two murders and three holdups and
robbcries and who claims to be Will
liam Trent of Boston, was captured af-
ter a ilard struggle by two police de-
tectiyes in sight of the holiday crowds
at the Union depot today. A sailor,
who says he is Joseph B. Dixon OF
Rochester, n. Y, fed to a New York
express during the fight but was cap
tured later whcn the train pulled into
the Westerly, r. l., citation End Is heid
as an accomplice. Both men We're
lodged at police headquarters tonight
but refused to talk about themselves
or what they had been doing during
the past few months.
Trente gave the detectives no end
of trouble. During the encounter at the
station he tried to pull gun from
his hip pocket, but the weapon was
torn from his grasp. Later when he
was being examined at headquarters
he attempted to grab the same re-
voIver and fight mis- way to tho door
but the detectives were too quick for
him. Again when photograph was
taken of him he started toward the
stairs in an effort to throw himself
down the four stories and only the
prompt action of, Detective Herbert
Cafercy prevented.

of the murder of William f. Meaghcr.
a Pawtucket marketman. who vas
shot and robbed last evening. when
they came across Trente and Dixon
and followed them to the railroad sta
ton, where the fight began. AS only
one man in the crowd dared to assist
the detectives, it was with great diff
hculty that they finally overpowered
Trentc and landed him at the police
station, while Dixon jumped on train
which was just leaving the station and
got away for q time. Identification of
the two prisoners came thick and fast
during the afternoon. Mr.. Meagher's
son, who was near him at the time Of
the shooting, Maurice Moriarity, pro-
prietor Of the Park hotel. this city. and
Benedict O'Connor. local druggist,
both Of whom were held up, positively
identified the men. When Trente was
searched by Deputy Chief Inspector

from the person of Louis Mover, the
Ship street junkman. who was muir
dered in this city. was found on his
person. The local police stated tonight
