Washington, Jnn. 31. Every member of the xennte committee on foreign re lations, with the exception of air. Tur ple, was present Saturday morning when the committee convened a few minutes before 11 o'clock to consider the general treaty of arbitration be tween the United States and Great Brit ain, and agree upon a report for sub mission t(j tlie senate on Monday. At 1.20 j. m. a vote was taken on this treaty, with certain amendments, and a favorable report was ordered made to the senate on Monday. "The most Important amendment was that which added at tile end of Article 1, the following words: "Hut no ques tion which affects the foreign or domes tic policy of either of the high contract ing parties or the relations of either with any other state or power, by treaty or otherwise,. shall be subject lo arbitration under tills treaty except by it special agreement." Tills amendment, the committee believes, will cover the Monroe doctrine and the Nicaragua canal. The second amendment strikes out all reference to his Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway as the umpire In case the court falls to agree upon an umpire. The motion to strike out tills clause was carried with but one nega tive vote, that of Senator Gray, of Delaware. THE FINAL VOTE. The vote on the llnal motion to report the treaty to the senate as amended was so cloe that It startled some of the friends of the convention, who be lieved there would be practically no opposition to the amended treaty. When the roll was called the votes were cast as follows: In favor of reporting the treaty to the senate Messrs. Sherman, Davis, Frye, Lodge, Culloni (Republi cans), and Gray (Democrat). Total, tj. Against reporting the treaty to the sen ateMessrs. Morgan, Mills, Daniel (Democrats), and Cameron (Republi can). Total, -1. It was decided that the treaty should bo called up In the senate at tile earli est day possible. The question of Its consideration in open session was dis cussed informally. It is understood that while the members of the commit tee believe that such a motion may pre vail, if made, no member of the com mittee will initiate it. This motion, however, w ill receive some votes from the membership of the committee. The debute In the committee room de- eloped an opposition to tlie treaty un der any conditions that was entirely unexpected, and if the minority of tlie committee lepresent a proportionate membership of the senate, the lndlca t'ons are that the treaty will have a lard time securing the requisite two .birds vote. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. The agricultural appropriation bill was the principal and almost tlie sole subject of consideration In the house Saturday. As usual, the distribution of seeds gave lise to an animated discus sion, which lasted two hours. Mr. Moody (Rep., Mass.) denounced the seed distribution as tlie gieatest humbug to be found In Washington, and a shame and disgrace as well. Mr. Bromwell (Rep, o.) offeied an amendment nu !horlZng the members to select the .seec's they desire, the deoartment of 'agriculture to purchase and distribute Uie same. Sunuortimr tlu ntnimltvniit pir. Bromwell gave this experience with lie ot the seed eonti actors as congress man and as a private purchaser. The allotment of 140 packages of (lower seeds purchased by tlie department and supplied to him contained Just six vari eties, two of which were sunllowers and castor beans. He purchased of the same contractor as an Individual 2,000 packages. One lot of these, 1,-100 in number, contained over fifty varieties, and another hud some correspondence with the contractor, In which he ex pressed the opinion that a fraud had been perpetrated upon the government, and this opinion had been intensified by a proposition on their part amount ing practically to un offer to bribe him to say nothing about his experience. Mr. Mercer (Rep., Neb.) offered an amendment that, in addition to seeds, every farmer be furnished half a dozen chickens, hogs, horses, and cattle, all thoroughbreds' and equally divided us to sex. Mr. Bromwell's amendment as to the method of selection and allotment of seeds was agreed to. A rising vote on Mr. Hill's motion to strike out the appropriation for seeds was announced 53 ayes and 53 noes. A count by tell ers was hud, resulting: Ayes, 39; noes, 70. Among the allliniativo votes was Speaker Reed, this being the lirst vote in this congress. QEN. RUSSELL A. ALGER. lliogrnpliicnl Sketch ol'tliu Next Sec ruttiry of War. Ex-Governor Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, who Is to be McKinley's sec rotary of war, is u Western man of New England ancestry, In 1835 the family settled In Lafayette township, Medina county, where the elder Alger bought a tract of lumber land and clear ed himself a farm. There the future general and governor was born on the We know that Cod-liver Oil is a fat-forming food because takers of it gain rap idly in weight under its use and the whole body receives vital force. When prepared as in Scott's Emulsion, it is quickly and easily changed into the tissues of the body. As your doctor would say, "it is easily assimilated." Perhaps you are suffering from fat starvation. You take fat enough with your food, but it either isn't the right kind, or it isn't digested. You need fat prepared for you, as in Scott's Emulsion. 27th of February, 1830. Young Alger was left, at the age of 13, without a dollar in the world, and with n younger sister and brother as dependent ns him self. Finding places for his brother and sister, he went to work for his board 'and clothes and three months' schooling per year, and afterward for small monthly wages as a farm hand, lie spent several terms at Richfield academy, alternating hard labor dur ing the farming season with school work in the winter. He was able In the winter of 18ti(i-7 to obtain a position as teacher of a district school. Out of his earnings during this period he was able to do something for his brother and sister and prepare himself to enter a law olllce In Akron in the spring ot 1857. He was admitted to the bar, and went to Cleveland to enter upon his profession; but overwork and confine ment hud impaired his health, and on the last day of 1SC0 he set out for Michigan, and with a little borrowed capital Joined with a friend In the lumber business at Grand Rapids, liy the failure of a Chicago firm the two friends lost all they had In the spring of 1S01, young Alger having Just mar ried a Miss Annette II. Henry. The breaking out of the civil war opened li new opportunity, and In Aug ust, 1SC1, he enlisted In the Second Mich igan cavalry, and was soon after made captain of Company C. Another cap tain In the same regiment wns Philip H. Sheridan, and on the promotion of its colonel, Gordon Granger, Alger was sent by the latter to Pittsburg Landing to Induce Governor Blair to appoint Sheridan, tlie acting commis sary on General Halleck's staff, to the vacant colonelcy. This he successfully accomplished, May 25, 1802, riding sixty miles on his mission and carrying Sheri dan's appointment, written on a half sheet of note paper by Governor Blair, to Halleck's headquarters the next morning. Tills was the beginning of Sheridan's rapid advance In the army. Alger served under him at the battle of Booiu'Vllle, Missouri, and was wound ed and taken prisoner, escaping the same day. He became lieutenant col onel of the Sixth Michigan cavalry October, 1SG2, and colonel of the Fifth February, 1S05. He continued in the mlltary service throughout tlie war, serving successfully under Sheridan, Kllpahick, Custer and again Sheridan In the Army of the Potomac Jn 1SG1. He is said to have been in more than sixty battles and minor engagements, always displaying undaunted gallantry. He was seriously wounded at Boones borough, Maryland, July 8, 1SG3, after passing safely through the battle of Gettysburg. In tlie winter following lie was recommended to President Lin coln for certain special and confidential service, during: which he visited nearly all the armies in the field. In 1S04 he wns made brevet brigadier general of Volunteers for gallant and meritorious service at Treville station, and June 11, 1SG5, brevet major general, "for gal lant and meritorious service during the war." On retiring from the army General Alger returned to Michigan and en gaged In tlie lumber business at De troit. He was a pioneer in the use of 1 nl roads for getting logs out of the forests, and rapidly built up a very extensive business. With Increase of wealth and business connections ho gradually acquired un interest In va rious business enterprises, not only in Michigan, but In several other stutes and territories. It is said of him that during his business career of more than twenty years, while having thou sands of men In his employ, ho has never had a str'ke or any kind of dlfll calty with his workmen, and has never sued or been sued in the course of Ills ast business operations. In 1882, by a coalition with the Greenbackers, the Democrats elected a governor of Michigan for the first ilme in thirty years. In 1SS1 Governor Begole was renominated, with the same combination behind him, and General Alger consented to take the Republican nomination in the hone of redeeming the stnte. He threw him self into the canvass with characteris tic energy and skill in management, and was triumphantly elected, receiv ing tlie largest Republican vote ever cast In Michigan. His administration was characterized by business meth ods, strict integrity and faithful de votion to the interests of tlie state. He peremptorily declined a renomlna tlon. and on retiring from office sub mitted a parting message to the legis lature, which has been praised ns the ablest public document ever produced In the state of Michigan, Governor Alger Is described ns a man of wide Information, vigorous mind, positive and outspoken opinions, but affabl" and popular with all with whom he comes In contact. PROFESSOR COLES PREDICTIONS. WARNING TO BUSINESS MEN. AVe warn all business men that earth is now passing through the House of Death, in sign Leo, tlie king of "low ebb" vital forces, and has turned her back nt Jupiter, our finan cial Indicator. Therefore, business men must stand firm und not "push" each other In order to avoid a panic, All the life forces are now on the verge of a vernal impulse and the planets are In a position to" encourage evil thoughts and evil doings. Strange to relate, the new year was born with a veil over Its face, and the month of February will be born in the same manner. The new moon and .the sun's eclipse both appear at the same time on tlie same day of Its birth, which forebodes much eyll. THE SUN'S ECLIPSE. Tlie shadows of the sun's eclipse will fall upon the Atlantic coast, extending from Lowell, Mass., to Waco, Tex. And the planets will be in the right posi tion and mood to shower down their plague germs upon us through the great shadow funnel of the eclipse, which will open wide the gateway of the Atlantlo coast through which much trouble and uiilictlon may enter; sudden .nnd unexpected disturbances may arise during the year that will call out our fleets. Pestilence am fa mine microbes love to aflllct that peo ple upon whom the shadows of a sun's eclipse have fallen. The "shadow" will last less than an hour, yet It will take a whole year for the "vital forces" of all animal, vegetable and human life to recover from the bllghtenlug Influ ence of these shadow microbes, MAD MICROBES. Mark the terrible epidemics, disas ters, storms, horrible outrages, mur ders, suicides, fires,- riots and, per haps wars, that will follow In the path way of the shadow of the eclipse, dur ing the year 1897. For, there will be no eclipse of the moon to offset the proceedings. We liuvo at considerable expense prepared many hundred charts, showing the eclipse, the storm periods, the danger dates, etc., which we will send to any address free to those who nre especially. Interested In our predictions. WHITE LIGHTNING. Fierce electrical storms, accompa nied by white lightning, will appear Jn some localities, while earthquakes and strange phenomena will appear In others. Heavy fogs, sleet storms, fierce gales and drifting blizzards will appear within fifteen days after the eclipse. On Monday, the 22d, wo will bo directly between Jupiter nnd .tho sun j nt tlmt time Jupiter will be brightest and shine all night. And within ton days from that date either before or after Mars will Join with Jupiter and give old mother earth a terrible punishment with de structive storms nnd Hoods. On or about tho 10th, 17th, or 18th the elec trical currents will war, nnd cause terrible gales In some sections. THE ERA OF MADNESS. The old country will receive her share of aflllctlon by wind and wave, and by the terrible plagues that God has seen fit to send upon her. The "ern of madness" will still Increase in virulence in America; for, the vital forces this month are lower than ever before recorded by the "Vlbrameter." There will be only eight (8) "high Hood" days during the whole month, .viz.: 4th, 5th, Ctll, 13th, 15th, 23d, 21th and 27th. We dare not mark out all tlie dnnger days, but will give warn ing that there will be an Increase ot sudden deaths nnd suicides. And we urge upon the Christian men and wo men of America to exert effort of good In order to drive out nnd destroy these mad microbes, that have taken pos session of our land and are driving both men and women to horrible deeds nnd death! Much brighter prospects are In store for our March forecast. Prof. C. Coles, Editor Storms' and Signs. Kingston, Pn Jan. 2C. MARKETS AND STOCKS. Wall Street Review. New York, Jan. 30. The feature of the security market today was the Increas ed activity in bonds. Dealings in de partments readied the enormous total for a half holiday of $2,201,000 and juices moved up nnywhore from V2 to 2V4' per cent. The inability' to lend money at any thing like paying rates accounts for the steady absorption and advance in mortgages. Tlie ris In bonds led to extensive purchase, lor both accounts, and the railway and miscellaneous list scored material gains. London bought moderate amounts of the international Issues and a commis sion houses reported a little better In quiry for the leading specialties. The largest buying, however, was Cor the purpose of covering short contracts. Long Island led the list in point ot ad vance, rising 3 to 52 on the announce ment that the sale of the Corbln stock to the syndicate had been completed. Expert Little's report was made public and failed to confirm the unfavorable rumors so freely circulated of late. Mr, Little, in his statement to the syndicate, said that the road had been practically reconstructed during the past eight years and the cost thereof charged to incomes. Noilhern Pacifies led in point of activity, advancing to 15!h for tlie common and to 3.S',& for tlie preferred. Rumors of an important alliance with the Great Northern or Northwest roads were again revived. The Grangers were favorably influenced by the ru mors and moved up to best figures of the week. In the Industrials, General Electric, Sugar and Chicago Gas were most prominent. In regard to the lat ter it was reported that the directors, at their meeting on Monday, Intended to declare another dividend of V. per cent. The sharp recovery In wheat had a stimulating influence, but the bank statement with its contraction in louns and increase in surplus reserve was ignored. Speculation closed strong with an advancing tendency. Net changes show gains of Vi0'3 per cent. Total sales were 113,500 shares.
