Aspecial to the st. Louis Republican reads
thus:
WASHINGTON May 6.-The announcement
made in the House of Commons last night
that the high joint commission treaty pro-
yided for special commission to audit the
claims of British citizens whicharose during
the late war is not denied here by the Amer
lean commissioners, and is otherwise known
to be true. The fact excites no inconsider-
able comment here, as this very feature
caused the rejection by the Senate of the
johnson Clarendon treaty for the settle
ment of the Alabama claims. Lord Tenter-
den and Bancroft Davis were in conference
to-day with Messrs. Morton and Cameron
explaining the details. Secretary Fish hav-
ing been asked, sanoffcially, the direct ques-
ton whether the commission would involve
the payment of money down by the United
States, replied hesitatingly that it would
not just now. "Well," said the questioner,
before the commissioner had time to re-
cover, '.:you mean by that that the arbiters
must find balance against lis in consider
ing the Alabama claims and English counter
claims for losses in the South, or there will
be no money paid!'
Precisely so. In no other case will money
be paid. We don't propose to order the pay
ment of money in the treaty"
General Schenck was asked, "You don't
intend to pay money for the use of the fish
cries, do you"
The answer was quite unsatisfactory, as
follows: "How else do you suppose we will
secure their use! You have no idea that
England will give valuable privilege with
out some consideration, have you!"

A Railroad Sold.
From the Galveston News. ]


One o'clock yesterday was the hour set
for the sale of the section of the New Or
leans and Texas Railroad lying between
Liberty and Orange. The distance is, we
believe, sixty-eight miles. Judge Josiah
f. Crosby, master in chancery, read the
notice, announced himself ready to receive
bids, and adjourned the sale to fifteen min
utes before three o'clock, at which time the
sale was resumed. Major Charles A. Bur-
ton started the bids at $1,000 Mr.. Charles
Todd raised to 100000. Mr. Burton adj
vanced ten thousand, when Mr.. Hamilton
Stuart arrived and announced that at the
outbreak of the war he was collector of the
port; that iron then belonging to the road
was in his possession, that there were UNI
paid dues on it to the amount of $4,000, or
thereabouts; that the iron was taken from
the customhOuse in some irregular manner,
and that the duties had not been paid. He
further gave notice that subsequent to
peace the authorities at Washington called
his attention to these circumstances, and
that he replied he did not hold himself re-
sponsible; that if the government did he
desired suit brought at once, but that he
has never heard from the matter since that
time. Thereupon the bidding was resumed
and the road knocked down to Mr.. Todd
for 1920, 900. Mr.. Todd represented Messrs.
z. S. Morgan, John S. Terry, John A. Girls
void and others of New York, for the New
Orleans, Texas and Mobile Railroad Com
pany.

The Flower Queen.

The correspondence of several very es-
Unable ladies', whose education enables
them to appreciate such an entertainment
as the floral operetta Of the Flower Queen,
performed with great success on the eve
ming of the first and second instant, with Mr..
A. Is. Chase and Rev. c. w. Hilton, has led
to an arrangement for a repetition of the
operetta at the National Theatre next Fri
day evening. The object of the first repre-
sensation was to benefit the Christ church
lparochial school; that is also the object of
this representation. Tickets, one dollar
each, may be had of the committee at the
music, book and tjewelry stores. A few of
the box seats may be reserved at fifty cents
extra by calling at the box office, on the
twelfth instant, from 9 A. NJ. to A z. NJ.
See correspondence in another column.
Tickets purchased for former representa-
ton are not good for this.

Robertson's charming comedy of Home
was repeated last evening, and was, if any
thing, played better than on the previous
evening. It's pretty construction, witty
dialogue and effective stage situations rem
der it most enjoyable piece, while the
repose and quietness of the plot make it
peculiarly enjoyable this weather, when
mental exertion is more fatigue than a
pleasure. d
Tonight will be given beautiful little
comedy entitled "Rosine, or the Wife of
Two Husbands" which abounds in fun.
and is, moreover, richly and elegantly
dressed in costumes of the Richelieu period
Tomorrow, Alberny's exquisite comedy,
''The Two Roses" will be given for one
time only, with Mr.. Wyndham in the
character part of Sir Digby Grant, and an
otherwise powerful cast.
Friday has been set aside for compli-
mentary benefit to Charles Wyndham, and
the public should testify their appreciation
of his efforts in presenting charming
series of the most charming plays in a per-
feet and elegant manner, by giving
crowded house. The attraction will be a
strong one, namely, the first production in
New Orleans of drama By the celebrated
author Watts Phillips, entitled "Camilla's
Husband" 1t is a splendidly written
piece, romantic in plot, strong in dialogue,
with well defined characters and very
effective stage effects and climaxes. Every
thing done by this company has been so
well done, and the pieces selected for them
have shown such good taste, that we feel
assured the novelties promised viii fully
justify all the claims set forth for them.
We trust the business for the remainder
Of the week will equal the expectation, and
Messing these delightful entertainments.

A Murderous Ruffian.
We cOnY the following dispatch:


MEMPHIS, May 6.-The Fort Smith AR
Kansas Era of April twenty-fourth says
most damnable outrage was perpetrated
last Saturday at Chieoville, quiet village
near the Indian reservation. As Rev. Mr..
Decamp, of the Missionary Baptist church,
was about to open religious services ruff
fan named Handy entered, with revolver
in hand, and approaching the minister,
asked his name. On being told, Handy
fred four shots at him, three striking De-
camp in the head, killing him instantly.
The assassin then leveled his revolver at
the congregation and drove them out with
threats of death and curses. He then
mounted his horse and fed. 1t is said that
Handy, some four years since, interrupted
services at which Decamp otficiated, and
was indicted for so doing. Handy then
went to Texas, which was made too hot for
him, and returned here. The greatest ex-
element prevails over the affair.
