THURSDAY, MAY 80, 1872

1T was reported in Washington, yesterday,
that ithe Senate's modification of the form in
which Great Britain proposed the additional
article to the Treaty Of Washington is not salts
factory to Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Granville.
Their objections to it are that it is not definite
enough 10 it's withdrawal of the claims for in
direct damages to suit them. kilograms pass
ed briskly between London and Washington
yesterday, but the result is as yet unknown. 1t
is reported" also, that the President has de-
clared that the action of the Senate was salts
faetory to him that he had made all the con-
eesssions, he proposed to make, and that her
Majesty's Government must accept the Sen
ate's action, or nothing. Fears are again ex-
pressed that the differences cannot now be re-
conciled,' and that consequently the Treaty will
be lost. The Washington Chronicle in refer
ence to the rumors in Washington yesterday
about the Treaty, says :-"Varous rumors
we're. circulated yesterday in relation to the
non-acceptance of the supplemental article Of
the treaty, as made up by the Senate, by the
English Government Careful inquiry Of per
sons who are supposed to know whereof they
speak reveals the fact that there is no possible
truth in any of the rumors circulated and tele-
graphed fcom this city.

Louisville aud Nashville railroad, met with a
sudden and sost horrible death at one o'clock
Yesterday morning He was returning from a
visit tic Elizabethtown, and riding in the ca.
boose with Conductor Earnest Wilmington, OF

Of the train, and started to walk to the front
end. Mr. Frank attempted to follow him, and
passed over several cars. but while crossing
from the fourth to the fifth car the lamp held
by Mr.. Wilmington suddenly disappeared, and
Frank fell head foremost to the ground, where
the whole Of the cars passed over him. The
train was stopped as soon as it was possible,
and the conductor went back to the assistance
of the unfortunate and ttariully mangled but
still living and CONSCIOUS man. The trucks
passed over his hips, legs and arms, aud cut
him on the stomach so that his entrails protrnd-

the poor fellow was perfectly conscious able to
converse fuently, and actually related the
whole circumstances of the accident. He was
taken to Colesburg and attended by Dr. Combs.
The unfortunate man was suffering so that he
implorcd those around him to take his life.
He said that death would relieve him of a
great deal Of agony, and rob him of very little
time. The doctor administered chloroform,
but under the circumstances the medicine
would have no effect. Mr.. Frank told those
who were near to telegraph to his mother,
kenoSha Wisconsin, and inform her that he

/. The Washington correspondent of the Balti-

The Washington correspondent OF the BaItl-
more Sun states that the President had con.
ference yesterday With leading republican
members of each house. at which it was
agreed, after full discussion, that Congress
ought not to adjourn until it had passed the
supplemental federal election bill, the bill to
continue in the hands Of the President the
power to suspend the writ of habeas corpus
and the bill to secure all persons IN their civil
rights and to furnish the means tor their vlndl-
cation. These measures, it was urged, were a
part of the policy Of the Administrations and
the republican party ought not to go into the
campaign without these bills all become laws.
1t was finally determined that a proposition
should be made to extend the session until the
last of June, and in the event Of that failing
the President should convene an extra session
and send in message asking for the leglsla
ton Indicated" The Washington Chron-
cle says: 1.-THE President, it is understood,
assured several Senators that he would not cal
an extra session if it can be prevented, and that
f the bills of public interest and Importance
are passed by Monday, June 3rd, he will mo-
call an extra session. y
