Washington, March 16. The Presi
dent today sent the new Chinese
treaty to the Senate but it has not
yet been laid before that body as no
secret session has been held since its
arrival. Its main features have been
from time to time published. It is
understood that the President recom
mends in his message of transmittal
that the injunction of secrecy be at
once removed from the treaty. An
accompanying paper by Secretary
Bayard explains the features of the
treaty and gives the history of its ne
gotiation from the, beginning to the
present time. The treaty by its terms
runs twenty years
Chinese merchants, schola s and
students may come only when pro
vided with certificates revised by an
American consul. The treaty binds
this country to pay to the Chinese

The Striking Kitfrlnerrs.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Kansas City. Mo., March 1G-11.30
a. m. interviews witn a numoer oi
striking engineers on the Santa Fe
road develops the fact that they have
examined the lists of stockholder? on
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and
find that a considerable number of
Santa Fe stockholders are also largely
interested n the "Q. They oay that
they came to the conclusion that they
would dip into both pockets at once
and let thetfe men feel the full effects
of the strike by crippling their re
sources. All trains on the Gulf sys
tem and on the Missouri Pacific are
moving promptly on time and the en
gineers say positively that there will
be no trouble on the Missouri Pacific,
but claim to know nothing regarding
the Gulf road. Train No. 3 on the
Santa Fe, duo to leave at 10.15, is
still standing on the track with its
passengers in the seats and the mail
and express matter in the cars. No.
5, due to leave at 11.20, has been
abandoned, but the superintendent
says No. 3 will go out. ; A crowd of
about five hundred men surrounded
the train , on the track, being com
posed of tha rougher element. The
engmeers are quiet and orderly and
remain away from the depot. Ihe
grievance committee of the Santa Fe
can't be found, as the members are
not together, but are each at his
division and all work and communi
cation is done secretly and by cipher.
Reports from points along the line of
the Santa e show a complete block
of both freight and passenger traffic.
KESUliT OF THE INVESTIGATION.
Washington, March 16. Orders
were issued today detaching Capt.
A. P. Cook and Bay In specter Steven
son from duty at the Brooklyn, N.
Y. nary yard. This is the result of a
recent investigation into the affairs in
that yard.
Chicago, March lb. Chief Arthur
today said to a report who interviwed
him concerning the Santa Fe stake;
It is altogether beyond my powr to
give you any explanation of this action.
I don't understand it. The men have
not notified me and I am completely
in the dark." "Are you not ordinarily
informed of such things?" "Always;
yes, sir, ana this is what makes the
matter still more unintelligible. I
dont understand it at all," repeated
the chief. "Dont you consider this
action as strange?" ''It is nothing
less than; open rebellion for it looks
much as if either the men were tired
of the grand officers ' advice or are
willfully disregarding their duties to
the laws and the constitution." "Have
the men ever acted independently of
you or Sargent ?" "Never, and never
have they acted in the past as they
are acting in the present troubles.
Ihe following copy of a telegram
sent to Conroe, chairman of the Atch
ison grievance committee, by Uhiel
Arthur is printed here:
To J Conroe, Chairman, etc-.
It is reported here that you have
ordered the men to quit work. Re
voke it. Your grievance can be set
tled here with Mr. Smith, Vi ce-President.
Gome to Chicago by the first
train.
(Signed) P. M. Arthur."
The general officers of the Santa
Fe Company here express complete
surprise and say they have not
handled Burlington freight.
A special from Topeka, Kan., says :
General Manager Goddard, General
Traffic Manager White and General
Superintendent Sands were at the
Santa Fe office until au early hour
this morning, and were in constant
telegraphic communication with the
divioicn superintendents along the
system; The report from theoe su
perintendents was that the men have
gone out all along the line, and busi
ness is practically suspended, except
thepasBenger trains which are now
on the road, which will not be stop-
?ed until they reach the end of the
ine. There are about seven hundred
engineers and seven hundred firemen
employed on the Santa Fe system,
and twenty-eight hundred trainmen
employed with them, making 4,200
men thrown directly out of employment.
, TUB WATS AMD MEANS
DILIGENTLY AT WORK ON THE TARIFF BILL.
My Telegraph to the News and Observer.
Washington, D. C, March 16 The
ways and means committee again con
sidered the internal revenue section
of the Mills bill today and completed
it with the exception of the para
graphs relating to the destruction of
piivate distillery apparatus and to the
treatment of prisoners whose health
is jeopardized by confinement. Over
these sections there was some differ
ence of opinion and it was evideut
that the Republicans will vote against
them when the committee meets again.
lhere was also strong opposition on
the part of the minority to a motion
made by Mr. Mills that the House be
requested to grant the committee
leave to Bit during; its session, but it
carried nevertheless.

Only three put in their appearance

wera in the Burnside expedition that

ing to celebrate the 26th anniversary
of its downfall and visit the battle
field, &c. Their time of coming was
rather unpropitiously chosen.

nessed by hundreds of people of all
sizes ages, colors and conditions.
Mr. Lee Thompson, Knight of Au
rora, was the successful man and

night-
NOTES, AC.
This Fair was born- in doubt and
fear of failure, but the first hours of
its existence convinced the inceptors
that success was assured and hope
grew into confidence and confidence
into certainty, until today everybody
who nas seen it says it is
the best exhibit ever made in the
State except the great State Exposi
tion. Editor Nuun, of the Jotimalt
first originated the idea of the Fair,
and was ably aided by Col. George
Allen, its noble president, in pushing
it to success. Commissioner of immi
gration J. T. Patrick, one of the most
indefatigable workers, did all in his
power, both by advice and physical
help, in arranging the exhibits tdj
make the Fair a success. The edito
rial fraternity was well looked after,
they having a nice, comfortable room
assigned them for their especial use,
&c , in which oysters and other re
freshments were served.
The good men and women of New
Berne deserve the greatest praise
from the people of the entire State
for their indefatigible work and suc
cessful effort in demonstrating to the
world what North Carolina is and
what its possibilities are.
Ihe wntor m company with tiof.
Scales, Treasurer Ba n and Mr. Foy
had a most pleasant and interesting
drive around New Berne and its su
burbs on Wednesday afternoon new-
ing the historic points of interest and
the beautiful, well cultivated truck
farms of Messrs. lunn & Wil'ett and
others.
Tomorrow, Friday, c'oses the fair,
when remaining premiums will be
awarded. Thf News and Obseeyih
makes its politest bow to fair manage
ment and c tizeos of New Berne for

PURE
The Internal Revenue Laws.
Washington, March 16 Attorney-
General to-day sent, in his reply to
the Hou6e,resolution of inquiry rela
tive to the expense of arresting per
sons for violations of the internal
revenue laws. He says unusual ex
penses,necessary in making arrests of
illicit distilleries have been authorized
in the northern districts of Alabama
and Georgia and North and South
Carolina and western districts of Vir
ginia. Authority granted to marshals
was to employ emoient deputies to
accompany the revenue agents in
making arrests. The reason for giv
ing this authority was that tho depu
ties were found to be necessary to
guide the officers to the bills and the
hiding places where illicit distillers
could be found, and were often
found, and whose arrest would other
wise have been impracticable. Ordi
nary compensation would be insuffi
cient to secure these services and the
limit fixed for such expenses rangef rom
100 in the eastern district to 1,400
in the western district of North Caro
lina. The Department has not any
knowledge that its instructions have
been misunderstood or violated by
marshals, and in no case has ihe
maximum compensation, fixed by the
Department, been exceeded or has
any pait cf the judicial appropria
tion been expended for the payment of
revenue agents except as deputy
marshals.
Suggestion is a privilege all can take
use of, and wo would suggest to the
myriads of sufferers from bilious fever
and indigestion, to use Lazador, whose
curative power over these diseases is
gratefully appreciated by thousands.
