NATIOB AFFAIRS.
Action at Washington Upon Two
Matters of Interest.
British Fisheries Treaty Signed?
The Senate Passes the Blair Bill.
The labors of the American Commissioners
and the English " Negotiators" have come to
an end, and shortly after 7 o'clock Wednesday
evening the Fisheries Treaty, which is
the outcome of tin deliberations of three
months, was formally signed by the high
contracting parties on behalf of England
nrirl tha ITnita.i
From the first meeting of the commission,
says a Washington special to the New York
IVorkl. both parties have realized the imjxjrtance
of the question as to wliether the "touch
and trade" privilege would be extended to
American vessels, a privilege now* fully enjoyed
by vessels of other nations in our ports.
The American fishermen have demanded the
twofold right of purchasing stores and
supplies and of selling cargoes to whoever
might desire to purchase. The opposition
to this concession, if it could
oe called a concession, has proceeded from
the very first from Sir Charles Tupper.
Though Minister West and Mr. Chamberlain
frankly admitted the justice of this demand
on the part of the united states, n> required
many protracted conferences and
a deal of earnest argument on the
part of his colleagues to finally induce Sir
Charles to change his view of the subject.
He finally gave in, however, and under the
terms of the treaty the privileges enjoyed by
American and Canadian fishers will be entirely
reciprocal.
The English Commissioners made a strong
fight from the start for the preservation from
invasion by foreign fishermen of the waters
imbraced in the three-mile limit, but
hardly hoped that they would be successful
in securing a full concession from
the United States, giving up all claim to
the privilege of fishing in these waters. They
were greatly surprised, however, to find that
when the point was finally reached the American
Commissioners were not inclined to press
the matter. For. diplomatic reasons the
Americans sedulously refrained from explaining
the fact that the Eastern fishermen
considered tho fishing in deep water iar more
grofltable than that of the Shoals, within the
mit.
In consideration of the "touch and trade*'
privilege the English Commissioners stipulated
that a license should be exacted from
American vessels trading in Canadian ports.
This license is to be adjusted to the form of a
tonnage tax, and the entire feature, it is
agreed, will be abolished upon the placing of
fish on the free list of the United States.
Notwithstanding the reports with regard
to the consideration of the Bahring Sea controversy.
the Alaska boundary question and
the exchange of imports, none of these subjects
received any attention at the hands of
the Commissioners, nor do they figure at all
in the Drovisions of the treaty.
It is understood that either Sir John
McDonald or Sir Charles Tupper will present
the treaty to the Canadian Parliament. The
signatures of the entire commission were
appended to the treaty. Secretary Bayard,
Mr. Putnam and Prof. Angell signing
under each other in the order given, and Mr.
Chamberlain. Sir Lionel Sackville West and
Sir Charles Tupper placing their signatures
opposite those of their American colleagues.

FARM^NIMALS.
Important Facts From the Department
of Agriculture.
The February statistical report of the Department
of Agriculture relates to numbers
and values of farm animals. There is a reported
increase in horses, mules and cattle,
and a decrease in sheep and swine. The
largest rate of increase is in horses,
amounting to fully five per cent, and
it is genera] throughout the country,
though largest west of the Mississippi.
The aggregate exceeds thirteen millions.
The increase in mules averages 3>? per
cent. The increase in cattle is nearly 2)? per
cent., corresponding closely with advances in
population. It makes the aggregate over
forty-nine millions, or 82 per 100 of the population.
The increase is nearly as large in
milch cows as in any other cattle.
In sheep the decline appears to be between
2 and 3 per cent,"the aggregate of flocks being
about forty-three arid a half millions.
There is a smaller decline in numbers of
swine, less than 1 per cent., leaving the aggregate
over forty-four millions.
Prices of horses and mules are nearly tha
same as last year, but both are lower than in
the year 1884. when tbe continuous advance
from 1877 culminated. The average for all
ages is ?71.82 for horses, and $79.78 for mules,
a decrease of 33 cents and $7 cents, respectively.
From 187$ to 1884 the annual estimates
of prices of milch cows and of other
cattle advanced yearly, and the decline has
since been uninterrupted, without exception
for other class of stock. The fall in milch
cows has been from $26.08 to $24.05, over 5
per cent., and in "oxen and other cattle"
from $19.79 to $17.79, a decline of 10 per
cent, in the last year.
In sheep, as in other stock, the annual advance
was quite as steady after 1879, and
amounted to 22 per cent, in four years.
From 18S3 to 1886 the decline was over 25
per cent., or from $2.53 to $1.91. The next
year's average was $2.01, and the present
average $2.05, or nearly as much as in the
depression of 1879, when prices were the lowest
in twenty years.
There has been an advance in the average
for swine of all ages from $4.42 to $4.98, or
11 per cent. The annual advance was continuous
from 1879 to 1883, then declining to
1SSG, and slightly advancing again since.
The aggregate value of all farm animals is
*n /\sm a/uT ? 4.1?? ~ ..? ? ^4-A1a#A?.
(*o,uw,uw mure tuaua jeai agv. iuc ivuua w*
the cattle being smaller by about (54,000,000,
for sheep a trille smaller, with an increase in
those for horses, mules and swine. The
horses represent 046,000,000, the mules 175,000,(.00,
the cattle 078,000,000, swine 231,000,000
and sheep 80,003,000, a grand aggregate
of 2,400,000,000 for these classes of domestic
animals on farms and ranches
RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
A Mexican Officer's Summary Vengeance
on a Treacherous Guide.
Captain Samadrid, of the Mexican Army,
at the head of a force of cavalry, descended
on the Wcsquite ranch, about thirty leagues
from Camago, Mexico, and captured
Vasquez, a noted bandit, who had
broken his leg and was there receiving
surgical attention. Vasquez was
made to confess that his companions, the notorious
cur-throat Basaldua, and the terrible
brothers, Adolfo and Antonio Yalligas, were
in hiding near the ranch. Captain Mamadriil
compelled Fernandez, the proprietor of the
"Wesquite ranch, to guide his troops to the
hiding place of the bandits, but Fernandez
treacherously led the soldiers in the wroug
direction. When samaurm discovered mat
Fernandez had deceived him he tied him to
a tree and ordered his men to riddle him
with bullets, which they did, notwithstand
ing Fernandez repeatedly cried out that he
would give the soldiers $1,000 to save his
life and release him. While this was going
on the bandits had been warned and fled to
Texas. There is reason to believe that not
less than twenty notorious highwaymen are
now safely rendezvoused in the Guello ranch
in Star county, Texas.

CRUSHED TO BEATS.
A Heavy Derrick Falls Upon a
Brooklyn Street Car.
Several Persons Killed and Many
More Badly Hurt,
The Union Elevated Railroad of Brooklyn
was the scene of a terrible accident at a point 1
in Broadway, at 1?:45 o'clock the other morning.
The steam hoisting apparatus which is
used to lift the heavy iron girders of the new
road fell upon a Reid avenue horse car that |
was Dassine underneath, instantly killing I
three men and seriously wounding fifteen I
others, one of whom died a few hours later. |
The whole reserve ambulance corps and |
the off platoon from the Thirteenth precinct !
station were immediately sent' to the scene, j
All of the available men from the neighboring
fire department stations were also ord- j
ered out The work of clearing away the !
debris was immediately begun by the force j
thus collected, and a number of the bodies |
were quickly extricated from the wreck of i
the car. The instantly killed were: Charles :
Kirschner, 30 years of age; Patrick Clark,
employed by the Elevated Railroad Company,
and Thomas Thompson, who was driving
the car in the place of Michael McAuley,
who had laid off for the day. Thomas Menton,
twenty-seven years old, had his skull
fractured, and died during the afternoon.
John Schaefer, of No. 6"J1J East Ninth street,
New York, superintendent of the hoisting
and placing of the iron work, was arrested I
soon after the accident by tho Brooklyn police
and he was taken to the Thirteenth precinct
station.
This is the second accident of this kind that'
has happened to this road within the last two
months. A similar accident happaned about
seven weeks ago on Flatbush avenue.
An eye-witness described the scene of the J
accident as follows: "I was standing on |
Broadway, about opposite No. 630. ^ A j
Reid aveilUe car passed through ihe 311 uov. .
There were two horses attached to it.
A truck, with one horse attached,
was moving slowly along the street. As the
street car got opposite No. 040 Broadway I
heard a terrible rumbling and crashing
sound, aa if the entire Elevated structure
was giving way. A bolt fastening
the girder-had broken, the two uprights not
being braced were pressed apart by the
weight of- the engine and the apparatus
on top pf them, and the entire flooring,
with the'engine and four stringers, fell witn
a crash upon the car. The two car horses and
the truck horse were instantly killed. One
car was crushed like an eggshell and
the shrieks and cries of agony
from those who were in it were terrible to
hear. The confusion was so great for a time
it was amost impossible to do anything, and
the poor people were wedged under the debris
for what seemed an age before anything
could be done to relieve them."
The crowd which gathered at once about
the scene of the accident was wildly excited.
Ambulance after ambulance apppeared until
every hospital in Brooklyn was represented.
Police arrived on foot and in patrol wagons.
It was necessary to increase their force as rapidly
as possible in order to keep back the
crowd. Mothers, fathers, sister.-, brothers 1
and friends of the employes of both the ele- :
vated and surface roads began to arrive I
almost as soon as the accident oc- I
curred. All was confusion. The police could |
tell them little or nothing; the officers of the i
rnnrl still loss. As fast as the injured were I
removed from the debris they were taken in .
charge by the ambulance surgeons. Many I
were taken to St. Catherine s hospit&l, which
is only about ten blocks from the seen? of the ,
disaster. Some were so slightly injured that j
thev had their wounds dressed in neighboring [
houses and left immediately for their homes.

ME, BLAINE'S LETTER.
"Withdrawing His Name as Candidate
for Presidental Nomination.
The following letter, written at Florence,
Italy, by the Hon. James G. Blaine, explain;
itself:
Florence, Italy, Jan. 25, 18S8.
B. F, Jones, Esq., Chairman of the lie pub
lican National Committee:
Sir: I wish, through you, to state to the
members of the Republican party that my
name will not hn nr-PSAnf^rl to the National
Convention called to assemble in Chicago in
Juno next for the nomination of candidates
for President and Vice-President of the United
States.
I am constrained to this decision b v considerations
entirely personal to myself, of
which you were advised more than a year
a^o. But I cannot make the announcement
without giving expression to my deep sense
of gratitude to the many thousands of my
countrymen who have sustained me so long
and so cordially that their feeling lias seemed
to go beyona the ordinary political adherence
of fellow-partisans and to partake
somewhat of the nature of personal attachment.
For this most generous loyalty of
friendship I can make no adequate return,
but I shall carry the memory of it while life
lasts.
Nor can I refrain from congratulating the
Republican party upon the cheering prospects
which distinguish the opening of the
national contest of 1888 as compared with
that of 1884. In 1882 the Republican party
throughout the Union met with a disastrous
defect. Ten States that had supported
Garfield and Arthur in the election of 18S0
were carried by the Democrats either by majorities
or pluralities. The Republican loss in
the Northern elections compared with ths preceding
national election exceeded half a mil .ion
votes, and the electoral votes of the Union,
divided on the basis of the result of 1882,
gave to the Democrats over three hundred
electors out of a total of 401. There was
a partial reaction in favor of the Republicans
in the elections of 1883, but the Democrats
still held possession o? seven Northern
States, and on the basis of the years contest
could show more than one hundred majority
in EWfcor-'d Col]^?S of the whole oouutrv.
But agatlisc tiiO diSCooilament naturally
following the adverse elections of these two
years the spirit of the* Republican
party in the national contest of
1884 rose high, and the Republican
masses entered into the campaign
with such energy that the final result depended
on the vote of a Bingle state, and that
state was carried by the Democratic party
by a plurality so small that it represented
less than one-seventh of one per cent, of the
entire vote. The change of a single vote in
every (2,O X)) two thousand of the total poll
would have given the State to the Republicans,
though only two years before the Democratic
plurality exceeded (192,000) one hundred
and ninety-two thousand.
The eleccions of 1886 and 1887 have demonstrated
growing strength in Republican
ranks. Seldom in our political history
has a party, defeated in a national
election, rallied immediately with such
vigor as have the Republicans since 1884 No
comparison is possible between the spirit of
the party in 1882-3 and its spirit in 1886-7.
The two periods present simply a contrasts*
the one of general depression, the other of
enthusiastic revival. Should the party
gain in the results of 1838
over those of 1886-7 in anything like the
proportion of the gain of. 1884 over
1882-3, it would secure one of the most
remarkable victories of its entire existence.
But victory does not depend on so large a
ratio of increase: the party has only to
maintain relatively its prestige of 1886-7 to
give to its national candidate every Northern
State but one, with a far better prospect of
carrying that one than it has had for the past
six years.
Another feature of the political situation
should inspire Republicans with irresistible
strength. The present National Administration
was elected with, if not
upon, the repeated assertions of its leading
supporters in every protection State that
no issue on the tariff was involved. However
earnestly Republicans urged that question
as the one of controlling importance
in the campaign, they were met by the Democratic
leaders and journals with pero?/4,lAn;nl
TUnf
resource the President has fortunately re-I
moved The issue which the Rupublicans
maintained and the Demo- I
uJats avoided in 1SS4 has been promi- .
nently and specifically brought forward by I
the Democratic President anl cannot be hidden
out of sight in 1388. The country is now
in the enjoyment of an industrial system
which in a quarter of a century has
assured a larger national growth, a
more rapid accumulation, and a broader
distribution of wealth than were ever before
known to history. The American people will
now be openly and formally asked to decide
whether this system shall be recklessly abandoned
and a new trial be made of an old experiment
which, has uniformly led to national
embarrassment and widespread individual
distress. On tho result of such an issue,
fairly presented to the popular judgment,
there is no room for doubt
One thing only is necessary to assure success?complete
harmony and cordial co
opera-ion on the part of all Republicans?
on the part botn of those who aspire
to lead and of those who are eager to follow.
The duty" is not one merely of honorable
devotion to the party whose records and
whosi aims are alike great, but it is one demanded
by the instinct of self-interest and by
the still higher promptings of patriotism.
A closer observation of the conditions of life
among the older nations gives me a more intense
desire that the American people shall
make no mistake in choosing tho policy
whi.h inspires labor with hope and
crowns it w?th dignity, which gives
sflfpt v to caDital and nrotects its increase.
which secures political power to every
citizen, comfort and culture to every home".
To this end, not less earnestly, and more
directly, as a private citizen than as
a public candidate, I shall devote myself,
with the confident belief that the
administration of the Government will be
restored to the party which has demonstrated
the purpose ana the power to wield it for the
unity and the honor of the Republic, for the
prosperity and progress of the people. I am,
very sincerely, yours,
James G. Blaine.

Terrible Termination of a Spree
at Silver Brook, Penn.
Six People Burned Alive, and
Others Fatally Injured,
An awful disaster, the result of a drunken
spree, and by which six lives were lost, occurred
Sunday night at Silver Brook, eight
miles south of Hazelton, Penn., where there
are two large collieries, one Old Silver
Brook and the other, half a mile west,
New Silver Brook. A short distance back
from the road stood two large frame houses.
One was occupied by Lawrence Man lick and
John Deicher with their families. Both kept
boarders who were employed in ths mines.
In all about two dozen people lived in the
house, most of them men. Sunday they all
went to Hazelton and returned home
drunk about 6 o'clock in the evening. They

was the result, and while it was in progress
John Seddo knocked a lighted lamp off the
table. It exploded, scattering the oil about
the room ana over the clothes of the men.
In an instant the whole room was enveloped
in flames.
The door was locked and the key could not
be found, and the only means of escape was
by jumping from the windows. .Some were
too stupefied to escape, and, remaining in the
room, perished in the flames. Five oi the
men and one girl were literally roasted
alive. Their names are: John Elias, aged
twenty years; John Seddo, twenty-five years;
John Kobinko, thirty-five years, married;
Michael Yankovitsch, thirty years; Mary
Manlick,sixteen years; Paul Sisskowitz,thirty
years. Manlick and his wife were botn
so badlv burned that it was feared
they could not recover. Paul Sisskowitz escaped
from the house, but was so frightfully
burned that be died on Monday. Mrs. Man'
!!:!: ture?T uaoy out ot: one of the Windows
to save it from the flames,but in falling
it wa? fatally injured. Peter Manski was terribly
burned about the upper portion of his
bodv and his in juries were thought to be fatal.
Half a dozen others were badly burned and
injured by jumping out of the window. The
house was an old one and burned so rapidly
that in less than half an hour it was
totally consumed. Near by lay Panl Sisskowitz,
his face and body burnt to a crisp, and
Manlick's one-year-old baby, its whole oody
bruised and bleeding. These who escaped from
the house rushed wildly about in paroxysms
of pain, seeking relief from their intense sufferings.
They were removed to Silver
Brook.
TO SAVE EIS LIFE,
An Operation Performed on the
German Crown Prince.
The breathing of the Crown Prince of
Germany was much worse on Tuesday, and a
telegram was sent to Prof. Bergmann, of
Berlin, urging him to hasten bis arrival at
San Remo. It was decided by the physicians
in attendance that the operation of
tracheotomy must be performed, as

difficulty. It was finally decided that it
would be unsafe to wait for Professor Bjrgmann,
and Dr. Bramann performed the
operation.
The operation was performed at 3
o'clock p. m. in a large sitting room
in the Villa Zirio. which had been
converted into a bedroom. Not a teaspoonful
of blood was lost. Drs. Mackenzie,
Hove'.l, Schroeder and Krause were
present during the operation. Dr. Mackenzie
sent a report to the Emperor, which was of a
cheerful character.
At 11 o'clock at night the Prince appeared
quite easy. He was not allowed to
talk. Although there are no symptoms
of laryngitis, he will keep in
bed for some days. Dr. Mackenzie will
remain at San Remo until his patient is out
of danger. Tbe principal thing necessary to
guard against is bronchitis.
The Crown Princess was not present
during the operation. The physicians
1 are pleased with the results of the
operation and are confident of the patient's
speedy recovery. The Crown Prince
bore the operation bravely, and did not faint.
