Volume One.

With this number we complete tn
first year of the ARGUS. We do no
intend to relate all our ups and down
during the past year, but allow us t,
state that we have tried to perform
the duties involving on us as a journ
alist, as we shall ever do in the future
We have endeavored to keep oul
readers posted in all Of the latest news
of the day, and thus far, at least, We
trust, our efforts have not been fruit.
less.
To the business portion of our city
we tender our most heartfelt thanks
for the liberal patronage we have re.
ceived at their hands, and to them we
trust the investment has been pro6ta-
bic.
No doubt our friends will be pleas
ed to learn that the ARGUS can state,
without fear of truthful contradiction,
although it has been but one short
year since it made its first appearance,
it now enjoys a larger circulation than
any other journal on the lake shore,
and new subscribers are continually
being added to the list And we feel
confident that the large number of our
readers whose term of subscription ex-
pires with this number, will call at
the earliest opportunity and favor us
with the price of subscription for an.
other twelve months And, also, those
who have not paid, will settle the old
score, and make arrangements for the
future.
AS in the past, so shall we in the
future endeavor to keep our readears
posted OH all the foreign and local
matters Of interest.
1t is our intention to make additions
to our Office as fast as possible, and
thus keep up with the times. But it
requires money to accomplish this, and
to those who are indebted to US, we
would respectfully ask to pay up with
out delay. Many little bills are now
due, and we trust our debtors will be
ready to answer to the call if we

the men to resume work at once. He
argued that the longer the evil day

it would be to surrender.

| The new Postal bill, which became
a law just before the Congressional
session closed, makes some changes in
the existing postal regulations, which
are of general interest. The most i'm.
portant is the authorizing of the one
cent postal cards for correspondence
or for printed circulars, similar to
those which were introduced in Great
Britain nearly two years ago, and are
now in use in nearly all European
countries. The House provided in
the bill for cards, with a paper Sap, to
cover and conceal the writing. The
Senate changed this to an open caro-.
In the conference committee the style
of the card was left to the discretion
of the Postmaster General, who, it is
stated, prefers the open card, and will
order that kind only to be manufact-
ured. The face of the card will bear
a one cent stamp, and will be provided
with lines for the address, and the
back will be ruled for the letter The
price of the card and stamp will be
only one cent. 1t will probably be
three or four weeks before they will
be ready for sale, as the plates for
printing have yet to be prepared. The
postage on circulars, newspapers and
other transient printed matter, which |
has been two cents for every four
ounces or less, and small circulars
which formerly cost two cents to mail,
can now be sent for one cent-an i'm
partant reduction to business men who
use the mails largely to advertise their
business. This change will take ef-
feet as soon as the necessary instruc-
tions to postmasters can be prepared.

ALBANY, June 19.-Orders have

A committee of the New York Cen.
trail Railway strikers visited the shops
of the Albany & Susquehanna Rail

quested the men employed there to
join them in a strike of eight hours.
A meeting for workmen was called and
a resolution to work under the present

LONDON, june 20.-Special dis
patches from Geneva say the tribuna
was in session an hour yesterday. 1
is con6dentially said that the treat,
will surely be saved. Although th,
court adjourned until "Wednesday
next, it may in certain eventualitie.
meet again by arrangement Monday
the oath. 1t is stated that Coun,
Sclopis, Baron D'Itajuba and Jacob
Staempae desire time to consult with
their respective governments, as they
themselves fear to assume the rcspon,
sibility of rejecting or acceding to the
proposition of Great Britain for ad
journment for eight months. If the
prospects for a satisfactory conclusion
continue good, the American residents
in Geneva will unite in a grand cele.
bration in that city on the 4th of Ju-
ly. The American Commissioners
will 60 to Paris, and the English to
London, during the adjournment Of
the tribunal, in order to accelerate the
progress of negotiations between Eng
land and America. Counts Sciopis
and Favort are the only persons con-
nected with the arbitration who will
remain in Geneva.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The long
dispatches received from Geneva yes
tcrday were deciphered at the Depart
ment of State this morning; but
owing to the imperfect transmission,
the precise text has not yet been as.
certained. Therefore, some parts have
to be repeated, and this necessarily
causes much delay. It's known, how
ever, that they give the present posi-
ton of affairs, and ask for instructions
on points in controversy.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-From the
latest reliable information received
here there is no reason to believe, as
stated in a recent Geneva telegram,
hat supplementary articles to the
treaty of Washington, on a totally
lew basis from that submitted by Earl
iranvill are now the subject of nego-
iations between tho British and
American governments. On the con.
rary, there is truth in the allegation
n some quarters at Geneva that at the
ext meeting of the arbitrators an an
ouncement will be made that the
uestion of indirect damages is set
led. There is the best reason for be-
eving that at their brief session on
he 10Th instant, the arbitrators deci-
ed that such claims cannot properly
ONE before them, and they must,
lerefore, be excluded. On this an
ouncement being formally made on
ne 26th inst, it is not apprehended
nat there will be any further difficult
in proceeding with the business un-
err the treaty. Of course, Her Mai
'ty's government must be satisfied
18th the decision of the arbitrators
xcluding the consideration of the in
lrect claims. 1t is thought here that,
consequence Of this action of the /,
tribunal, the additional article of the
eaty is rendered unnecessary, and
ill accordingly be altogether with.
rawn from the controversy.
