ROCHESTER, N. Y, May 15-Henri Dray-
ton, baritone singer, is paralyzed.
ST. JOHNS May l5.-The assembly is de-
batting the Washington treaty, which meets
with great opposition.
PHILADELPHIA, May 15.-There was an
immense peace procession here, to-day,
which took four hours to pass given point.
Most of the large establishments were
closed. In some instances the French, Ger
man and American flags were entwined.
WILMINGToN, N. c., May l5.-The state
ment made in Northern papers, based on q
telegram of the Associated Press sent from
this point, May 10, that the Robeson county
outlaws are Ku-Klux, is erroneous. Lowry,
Applewhite and Strong, the recognized
leaders OF this band, are all negroes, and it
is not known that single white man is con
nected with the band
ATLANTA, May l5.-The Atlanta Agricul-
tural and Industrial Association have de-
cided to hold the fair ON the sixteenth of Oc-
tober next at Oglethorpe Park.

went into operation to-day on all trunk
lines leading from Louisville Northern
and Eastern bound trains leave here at 6 A.
NJ, 3:55 and l0:45 P. NJ. The Southern fast
line train on the short line road this morn
ing made the fastest time from Louisville
to CovingtOn ever made on any railroad in
Kentucky, accomplishing the distance (one
hundred and six miles) in two hours and
tfty-eight minutes. The road is in such
good condition that the time was made with
perfect ease and safety.
TORONTO, May 15.-The government press
here give rather equivocal support to the
treaty of Washington, while the opposition
papers, on the contrary, are very decided in
their expressions of disapproval, holding
that to grant to the citizens of the United
States the right to fish in Canadian waters
may make it necessary for the American
government to adopt policy of reciprocity.
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and
journals that represent the French speak
ing population of Ontario, are in favor of
rejecting all parts of the treaty affecting
Canada.
The Globe thinks self-interest should di-
rect the people of Canada in any consider
alton of the treaty while at the same time
it recommends that a difference of opinion
in the matter between Great Britain and
the dominion should be avoided
