WASHINGTON, May IL, 1897. .
The negotiations which for some time
past have been pending between the gov
craments Of Great Brilliant and Hondu-
rss, in reference to the Bay Islands, were
concluded early in March, and u treaty
ratified by Honduras on the 9th of that
month. Il is believed here, amongst the
Spanish and South American legations,
that thi, action of the two governments
efectually abrogates the. Clayton Bulw,r
treaty; AMI at the same time op ms the
way for the final arrangement of disputes
between the Cabinet, Of the United States
and Great Britain.

intimated to the government that the ,od

~ Col. Frank Anderson, an officer of
Walkers army who came passenger on
the George Law, says that when hs left
Aspinwall, 3D. inst, Walker Was in Rivas
with 300 men a day or two previous to
Anderson leaving the Isthmus, letter
was received from a private source in San
Francisco, requesting Gen. Walker to be
sure and b. at San Juan del Sur three or
four days in advance of the steamers
usual arrival at that place from Ss1 Fran
cisco, but not to h&ye his expectations
raised to high, and he would thus find
20 nething to benefit him in his cause
The Col. also says: lie heard from anoth-
or source that the proposed benefit was in
the shape of a small sailing vessel fitted
up by private enterprise, having upwards
Of l5o mcu, with good supply Of pro-
visions, arms, &c, on board, which An
der On thinks mutt have arrived ere this
time and taken charge Of by Walker or
his representatives,.
g. Anderson thinks Walker is still in the
ascendant, and gives no credence to the
report that he has taken refuge on board
A man-of.war---on the other side, ono Of
the oficcrs of the Georgc Law says on
leaving Aspinwall, the report was correct
that walker WAS completely hcmmcd in
on all sides by the enemy at Rivas, and
that the allies were about bringing guns
to bear on him, in which case he think.
there will be littls hopes for his men,
Of which he has about 300 all told.

Senate by yeas ss, nays s-Messrs. Biggs and Reid
of this State voting in the affirmative. Mr. Brod-
head, of Pennsylvania, opposed, and Mr.. Bsler, of

of the debate Mr. Rusk stated that for every
hundred dollars worth of iron laid down by the
States railroads, they had paid twenty -four dol
lars to the iron manufacturers Of Pennsylvania He
was tired of this monopoly; and Mr.. Jones, and
others, uttered the same views.
We have not seen the act, but learn that the re-
ducton contemplated is about fifteen millions per
annum.

CONGRESSIONAL ELEcr1oss.-The time for select
ing Congressman is again approaching, and we no.
tce that in some of the Districts preparatory steps
are being taken towards bringing out candidates. In
the Raleigh fourth District proposition to hold
Convention has been made and some Of the coun-
ties have called meetings for the purpose of appoint
ing Delegates
In the sixth District, Convention is to he held.
We presume our friends in that District will again
bring out the gallant Scales, who SO nobly fought
the battles of the party in the last Congressional
contest. Twice has Mr. Scales pushed the opposi-
ton party to the WALL and cannot but hope that
in the third trial he will triumph.
In cur own Che SEVENTH District, we know not
what has been the custom in bringing out candid.
ate. We presume the usual course will be pursued.
But would suggest that has been the settled
practice of the party II this State to hold Conven-
tons would it be better TO adhere to that policy
in order to insure harmony and unanimty Of action
We apprchend danger Of defeat in this District
but we think union Of feeling and action Is more
apt to be secured BY Conventions The present
member from this District Mr.. Craige, has been !
faithful representative and We suppqee given general
satisfaction TO his party, md ifh5 not obiecs
