Corcoran, the widely known philanthropist, died at 6:80 yesterday morning. He panned away quietly and peacefully. There was no marked change in his condition. He remained unconscious up to the end. When the last moment came he was surrounded by his relatives and friends. His physician, Dr. Garnett, who had been with the sick man until a late hour, aad had gone home, returned soou after Mr. Corcoran had passed away. A servant was quietly sent for an undertaker, and soon afterward the crape on the door announced to all "No, sir," said the proprietor, snappishly, "you dont get that horse again; you abiwu 1 him too much when yon had him OM'other day." .

Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers, said last evening: "Acouunittee representing the national organizations of engineers and firemen have been in Chicago for three weeks trying to adjust the differences between the men and the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. They were put off with promises, and finally saw Mr. Stone, the general manager, but ware unable to eflfec# any settlement. Then they sent for Grand Master Sargent, of the Firemen's brotherhood, and myself, and we arrived here Thursday morning. We saw Mr. Stone, Vicepresident Peasley and Mr. Merrill, of th« company. We discussed several propositions, until finally the question of wages was reached. We then asked for 31-2 cents per mile for eight-wheel passenger engines, and S 8-4 cents per mils for six-wheel connected engines. This Mr. Stone would not ooncede. Then we conceded the 8 3-1 cents, and asked for 31-2 cents per mile, regardless of the class of engines. That to what the Chicago and Alton and the Santa Fe systems granted, but Mr. Stone would not listen to it. We told him then that if his engineers and firemen determined to quit work we would sanction it, and we retired. Senator Scott, ex-minister of militia in a former administration, delivered a speech in A huge channel boss m presented to the president, and be made the donor happy by saying: "I don't believe I could pull in that fellow raywlf.'' yrhich the government and the fishery com miagtoners were roundly abased for Bacrifio Ing Canadian Interests. The canie of friction between the two countries, he said, Was not removed by the late Washington patchwork. Canadians willingly preferred to extend the hand of fellowship to the American people rather than to have their rights bartered under the nominal title of • treaty. Mr- Chamberlain was ill qualified to represent the imperial government He came to America as the representative of the British manufacturer. A settlement must be effected at all hazards, and Canadian rights sacrificed in order to preserve relations between England and the United States. Mr. Bcott analyzed the various clauses of the treaty, stating that Canada had granted many concessions without receiving a single one in return. Reciprocity of trade between the two countries was the only solution of the difficulty. The fishery treaty, he said, would prove a disastrous bungle to Canada, and within another year would give rise to increased Motion between the two countries. He attributed the surrender largely to Mr. Chamberlain, and added that Canada's experiences with British diplomats have been anything but profitable. 2 The party, who are all in the most genial spirits i»id speak highly of their delightful trip so far, left here in the afternoon for Sanford, arriving there at 4:45, and were  by the booming of cannon and the cheers of a multitude of admirers. The presidential party was escorted to the exposition grounds, and, after the usual honors had been paid to the distinguished party, left at 5:30 on the return journey to Washington.

Lang worthy, of Rochester, reports an increase in the alleged deficiency. The report was presented at • meeting held at Monticello. The figures are raised from $18,000 to $29,0a8.68. A suit was ordered to recover the amount), with interest. "The strike, when it comes, will involve every engineer, passenger and freight, on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy system, but no train v.iil be left standing on the track." THE MYSTERY OF A CRIME. Mr. Arthur said that the present case is the first Instance in ten years in which the Brothhood of Engineers have failed to settle a difficulty with a railroad company without resorting to a strike. There is no fixed rate of wages on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, he said, and all that the men asked was the mileage rate paid by 90 per oent of the railroads in the country. The only question that was reached in the conference with the company was that of the wages of passenger engineers, and that is the only question that will be involved in the strike. Waa John Kennedy Compelled to Dig; Mr. Starr was treasurer for twelve years, and deficienpies are discovered in each year. During the investigation thirty-five tax books were stolen one night, but their loss did not prevent the discovery of evidence of the amount above claimed. Starr was very popular, and the members of the committees have been pleaded with in his behalf. He himself calls for a jud cial investigation. Both sides have employed numerous counsel. Up to a year ago committees reported the treasurer's accounts correct. The sureties on Starr's bonds claim that these reports release them of liability. W. W.

Corliss were interred at Swan Point cemetery yesterday afternoon, after a brief service at the house. Digtin guished officials and citizens of the state and city attended the service, Sir Richard Cartwright said that whatever might be the merits or demerits of the treaty, its terms are hopelessly inconsistent with the position taken by the government a year ago. The treaty has settled nothing. Nothing can be found in it in the shape of a recognition of the just rights of Canada. Either the governments were grossly in the wrong before or they are now. He was surprised that the government oould come down now and expreaa the hope that the treaty will be regarded as a satisfactory settlement of the questions at issue lietween the United States and Canada. He was afraid that the facts, when disclosed, would raise a doubt whether Canada must not in the future take the conduct of the treaty into her own hands without th» English interfering, and thereby prevent her interests from being sacrificed to promote imperial views. The report is that before night the whole road will be tied up from one end to the other. Freight as well as passenger traffic will be stopped, and most of the switch engines will be abandoned.
