A UM” POPULAR SHOPPING PLAGE, USES OF THE NAVY. Seeretary Herbert Addresses the New York Board of Trade. “We do not need @ great naval estab- lishment like those of France and Eng- land,” said Secretary Herbert at the ban- quet of the New York board of trade last night, “but we do need a avy that will command respect for our rights in peace and in war; that, in case of corflict between the great naval powers of the world, will be able to protect and defend the shipping that in such cases will seek shelter under our flag, an opportunity that Congress will seize when it comes to get back our share of the carrying trade of the world. We do not need a navy because we want to make war, but because we want to command our God speed the time when universal shall be and remain throughout the The greatest step ever taken in that direction was the arbitration of the Alabama claims. When was that? Just after our civil war, when the United States navy was stronger, relatively, than ever be- fore or since. Then, at least, on this side of the Atlantic, our navy could have en- tered a contest with that of Great Britain with a fair chance of success. Who made for us that agreement to arbitrate? Gen. Grant, the soldier-statesman, ready and willing to fight if need be, but always anx- ious for the blessings of peace. @ precedent then set has since heen twice followed in the settlement of dis. putes with Great Britain. Peace societies all over the world are pushing that prece- dent as a basis for universal peace. Let us help them forward, and continue to help them, supported always by a navy strong enough to make our influence felt in the councils of the world.” In the course of his remarks Secretary Herbert also saic “History is now teaching in the war in the east another lesson, in which all the world may see, and read, if it will, the value of commerce. The Chinese and Jap- anese are of one race; both peoples are brave, but China is at a disadvantage. She shut herself off from the outside world; deemed her own trade, her own industries, a her own civilization sufficient for her and she ig now reaping the fruit of are statesmen among us who seem to believe it our true policy to erect by law a sort of Chinese wall around our country, that will bar foreign trade, as China has done, for the benefit of home industries; but I cannot believe that gentlemen who study the methods and the benefits of trade and transportation will ever advocate any Chinese policy for America, = ¢ © “Our government began without a navy that could protect our shipping. In a few years we were paying tribute to three Bar- bary powers at the same time; and in 1801 the bashaw of Tripoli actually declar war against us because we were giving Algiers and Tunis more money to let our commerce alone than we were paying him. Like other great equity judges, the learned w applied the maxim, ‘equality is About that same time France and Eng- land were at war. Both courted our sym- pathy and aid. We stood aloof, and both kicked us and cuffed us, till we forced, first into a quast war with and afterward, in 1812, to declare ainst England—driven into two wars imply because we were not strong enough to enter upon either. “We were re ant to declare war against ¢ in, and so we tried first an emba nm our own trade; we pun- ished ourselves, until, at length, many of our New England brethren gathered at the to seriou: di to secede and Hartford whether sol convention it was not w cuss dis- » Union rather than submit to it. ar of that 1812 there never the United S was but ates fon must be a naval power.

In our civil war, Dupont and Porter and Farsagut and their comrades proved themselves worthy of the fame, and the navy of today stands ready to emulate the deeds of the heroes of the past. * * * © © “Whoever aims a blow at trade, whatever may be the purpose, strikes at the farmer, the miner, the manufacturer, and at all labor, for the surplus products of all in- dustry are for sale, and trade must have an outlet to market. Thomas Jefferson, the strict constructionist, bought the Louisiana territory, violating, as he him- self said, the Constitution of his country, because we could not afford to have the mouth of the Mississippi controlled by a foreign nation,with the right to levy tribute on our trade. “Those statesmen of my section who, in 1861, believed that secession would ' be peaceable separation had forgotten this lesson. It was useless for us of the south to argue the question of constitutional tight. An outlet to the gulf was an ab- solute necessity to the people of the north- west, and they could not consent to a dis- memberment of the Union. Mr. Jefferson was right when-he bought Louisiana, and Mr. LircoIn was right when he said, in 1861, this country is geographically one; and happily for all of us, it is now settled that this {s to be for all time to come, po- Iitically, as it 1s geographically, one coun- try.” Dr. A. W. Raymond, Representative Tom L. Joknson, Senator Lodge, David McClure and E. M. Shepherd also spoke. Improving the Consular Service. Senator Lodge said that the extension of the spoils system to the American consular service came after the present administra- tion came in. “Prior to that time, although the great body of the consuls’ had been changed on every change of party, the re- movals and appointments were made grad- ually and a certain number of men were retained in some of the more important posts through different succeeding admin- istrations. The changes since March 4, 1893, have been as follows: “It ought to be stated in this connection that a number of the thirty-two consuls thus retained were appointees of Mr. Cleve- land during his first term and continued to hold office under Gen. Harrison. In these cases, of course, political pressure would be brought to bear for retention and not for removal under a democratic adminis- tration. Mr. Lodge continued: ‘The monstrous absurdity of turning out of office men who have no political duties, but who are charg- ed with important business functions,every time an administration changes has been made painfully apparent. It has brought sharply home to us the explanation of the consular incompetency of which our mer- chants so often complain, and of the ig- norance and unfitness which so frequently makes an American traveler blush for the representative of his country and his flag in a foreign land. Hence, a demand has gone up from business ociations everywhere that something should be done to reform m under which such performances are possible, and to give proper protection to the great business interests which ire so deeply concerned in haying a first rate consular service. * Oviah areal) bustiees fiterenta cotta United States require in the consular serv- ice experienced and trustworthy men cap- able of promoting our trade and commerce, and of reporting intelligently upon those subjects which are of interest to our peo- pl Mr. Lodge explained tHe bill which he had introduced to make appointment to the cons service dependent upon merit, Continuing he said: “I am very far from ing that selecting men for government service by a system of examination ts an id ly perfect system, but I say without any hesitation at it is so infinitely su- stem which makes the routine » government the spoils of po- that no comparison is n them.

ARBITRATORS ARE SNUBBED As a company of the twenty-third regi- ment was escorting a Hicks street car through Brooklyn yesterday afternoon Thomas Kearney is said to have thrown a number of bricks at it from the roof and the soldiers as it was passing No. 444 Hicks street. Some of the soldiers were hit by the missiles, and one of their num- ber took aim and shot Kearney in the side. Kearney was at work on the roof at the time, and was attracted to the edge by the excitement of the crowd below in ccn- sequence of the first car through Hicks street. The feeling in the neighborhood is very hard agairst the railroad compa- nies. The police and military officers pro- ceeded to the room by means of a ladder. They found Kearney lying unconscious in a large pool of blood. He lay there until he could be removed to the Long Island College Hospital. A doctor, who made an examination, said the wound was fatal. The coroner was notified. In a statement to Coroner Kene, Kear- ney said: . “I was at work on the roof of the house corner Hicks street and Harrison avenue with a man named Terrence O'Neil. I was on the cornice and I saw the soldiers on Hicks street below me. Some cf hem yelled at me to ‘get back.’ I started to go back. In fact, I started to run back, and I heard gun shots, and I was hit in ihe hip. I had not thrown anything from the roof at the soldiers, nor did O'Neil, who wad working in the middle of the roof. We had been at work on this roof for Michael Healy since morning.” At 7 o'clock last night Corporal Dovle of company B, seventh regiment, while on duty at the Knickerbocker avenue sta- tion of the Union avenue elevated railway, told some men who came down the clevat- ed steps to move on. They refused. Doyle struck one man on the shoulder with his clubbed musket, smashing his musket, and knocked the man down. He also jabbed his bayonet into another man deep enough to draw blood. Both men were taken away by their friends. ‘Quietness prevailed at Ridgewood last evening. The cars stopped running at 7 o'clock, all being safely secure in the sta- bles at that hour. The militia was then withdrawn from the streets in the imme- diate vicinity of the stables, having been relieved by a detachment of police. Efforts for Peace. Another attempt was made on the part of the strikers togmake trolley offtcials sub- mit differences to arbitration, The propo- sition, which was submitted to President Norton of the Atlantic Avenue Company, was flatly refused by him. The person selected by the strikers as ar- biter was William Richardson, secretary and treasurer of the American and New York Street Railway Association. They undoubtedly had the idea that he would be agreeable to the trolley company on ac- count of his position. The refusal indicates that the companies feel no abatement of confidence that they will win the fight. The success which the Atlantic Avenue Company has met with in its efforts to op- erate its lines undoubtedly had its in- fluence upon President Norton in this mat- ter. ‘That the strikers made the overture after having been several times repulsed in the same quarter may be regarded as_indi- cating that they have lost some confidence, and are anxious for peace. Indeed, it is al- leged that for several days. their highest hope has-been that they might be able to extort from the companies the concession that those who abandoned their cars ten days ago should be reinstated, and the new hands brought to take their’ places dis- charged. The Board of Arbitrai Commissioner Feeney of the state board of arbitration and mediation called at the headquarters of District Assembly 75, Knights of Labor, yesterday for the pur- pose of obtaining from Master Workman Connolly a statement of affairs regarding the strike at the present time. He said, in response to some questions: “Brookly® has become an armed camp. Soldiers stop you at every corner, and all this because of the stubbcrnness of some men. “So far as our board is corcerned, we are helpless to alter the situation. We have done all we can. “[ do not think the strike is over by any means, nor do I see that there is any change in affairs today. I have seen Mr. Lewis, and asked him if he was ready to recede in any way from the position of last Saturday. He said he was not. Their po- sition, he said, had not change “President Norton we have ‘ong since ceased to deal with, not because we are not willing and ready to do so, but because he ignores our existence altogether. Our re- port of this strike was sent to the legisla- ture last Monday. We will mediate if we can, and, if that is impossible, investigate and report. Now we are simply waiting.” Strikers Locked Up. A lot cf strikers were again locked up in their headquarters yesterday. The epi- sode was almgst exactly similar to that of Tuesday, which so infuriated Master Work- man Connolly, and which caused him to ion. venture his second order te the linemen to quit work. The men were on the street yesterday when the militia made their ap- pearance, and the strikers, ahout 300 of them, took refuge in Odd Fellows’ Hall, near by, which was their headquarters. The key was turned upon them and the picket lines thrown about the building. District Assembly No. 75, when they learned of the matter, employed a lawyer to apply for a writ of habeas corpus. Be- fore the time set for the hearing the im- prisoned men had been released. Af explanation to this effect was made on behalf of Gen. McLeer when the case came to a hearing at 4 o'clock, and Justice Gaynor thereupon dismissed the writ. sos The Cincinnati Also a Crack. Capt. Glass of the Cincinnati, who was at the Navy Department today, is en- thusiastic over the performance of his ship on the run from New York to Norfolk. She averaged eighteen knots, and he be- lieves she can make twenty-two knots if fore¢d. An air pump broke and temporary repairs were made on the run.

Burke and Smith for the defend- ants: dow First—Races, pool selling and bookmak- ing of every kind anil déscription to stop during the month ofoFebruary. Second—On the ist of March the defend- ants to be permitted 2o efercise the rights, privileges, ets., conférred'by their charter, that is, the Grange, Camp Association charter, and the lawa- of the common- wealth. Third—No proceedings by qué warrarito to be instituted. Fourth—The suspending crder heretofore granted the commonwealth in these pro- ceedings to be enlarged until March 1, 1895, On that day, provided stipulations “first” is kept,the injunction to be suspended until further orders of the judge of the court. Fifth—Should the defendants or the per- sens conducting the business mentioned, or complained of ih the bill, after the Ist day of March do s0} orderly, without offense to the public, and without creating a nuisance, no effort will be made to en- force the injunction, and the pending pro- ceedings will be allowed to stand until after the meeting of the next general as- sembly and then be dismissed. Sixth—The attorney general will give sixty days’ notice of any purpose on the part of the commonwealth to ask that the suspending order be set aside, and the in- junction prayed for in tNe bili be granted. As soon as the agreement had been sign- ed by the attorney general and counsel for the defendants, Judge Wellford entered an order giving it effect. Only One Favorite Beaten. Thirteen bookmakers started in the scramble at the Alexander Island track yesterday, and at the finish they were many lengths behind the talent. But one favorite failed to struggle in first, being beaten by a strong second choice. The' re- port that the track would close down dur- ing February was the cause of considerabie disappointment, the regulars opposing even a postponement of four weeks. Notwith- stinding the fact that the officials of both the St. Asaph tracks and those at Alexan- der Island have asserted that they would never agree to a division of dates, it is generally believed now that they will come together and agree to divide time. The winners were: Halcyon, 4 to 5; Paragon, even money; Lura, 7 to 5; Leigh, 1 to 4, and Fredericks, 7 to 5. The Basket Ball Tournament.

At the last meeting of the Columbia Ccllege, New York, Athletic Union chal- lenges were made out and issued to Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania. The challenges were formulated and issued un- der the supervision of the union, and not, as heretofore, by an individual. ‘The race proposed by Columbia is a four- mile one, to be held at New London. It is not probable that Pennsylvania will agree to the place of contest, nor will Cornell if she should accept Columbia's challenge. 1t is most certain that Cornell will decline Columbia’s challenges, owing to her trans- atlantic trip, but word comes from Phila- delphia that the Quakers are pleased with Columbia’s proposition, and will likely ac- cept it, though it will probably desire the race to come on the Deleware or some- where in New York. If Cornell does not go to Europe a three-cornered battle on the Hudson is quite possible. International Chess Match.

KANSAS CITY, January 24.—In a Tregu- lar tournament game, playing under the ru.es of the National Amateur Bowling Association, five members of the Kangas City Bowling Club, on a three-string total, last night scored 2,666 points, beating the standard record. now held by the New England League. The highest run was made by “Kid” Nichols, the famous pitch- er, who scored 555. The other players, all of whom are local men, scored as follows: C. Taylor, 542; H. D. Farley, 580; Thomas C.

Cases Before the Mayor and Other Local Notes. The following cases were disposed of at police headquarters this morning by Mayor Strauss: Arcnie Hollitt, charged with an assault on John Schafe, fined $10 and costs; in default of payment was sent to jail for sixty days. James Phillips, charged with defacing the property of Ernest Her- bert, was fined $7.50, and put under bond for $100 to keep the peace. Wm. Butler, charged .with escaping from the chain gang, was sent back, with sixty days add- ed. Kate Taylor, charged with an assault on William Thompson, dismissed for want of evidence. William Thompson, charged with an assault on Cora Taylor, sent to jail for ninety days. Henry Jackson, charged with assaulting and beating John Medley, was fined $10 and costs. Tramps broke into the grocery store of Mr. H. C. Wallace, on the corner of King and Alfred streets, last night, and, after satisfying their hunger with sardines and crackers, they took about a dozen bottles of whisky and departed. They secured an entrance to the store by breaking open a back window. Winter Race Case. Unusual satisfaction is expressed here that there is to be no winter racing, at least during the month of February, though there is a great deal of disappoint- ment expressed that the racing was not |’ stopped at once and the cruel practice of running horses knee-deep in the 1aud and slush, such as has often been the case at Alexander Island, put a stop to at once. The fact that the island people have con- tinued their racing in the face of public opinion against it has not made them any friends in the state, and it is freely said that at the next session of the Virsinia legislature such iron-clad legislation will be enacted as will forever and a day put a stop to all kinds of winter racing, no matter in what part of the state. An em- ploye of one of the tracks said to The Star men only a day or so ago that the horses were constantly being attached for debt and sold by the sheriff. This in itself is said to be enough to show that the plea of financial benefit to the state is a myth. He further remarked that if the injunc- tion was made permanent many a poor dealer would have to hustle for his money. Notes.
