The Reply.

This is Washington special to the St.
Louis Republicans:
WASHINGTON. March 1.-The reply which
the administration has decided to send to
the note of the British Secretary for Forei gu
Affairs on the question of consequent tial dam
ages in the American case under the treaty
of Washington, before the Geneva confer
ence was read at length in the Cabinet to-
day, and fully approved, and has gone for
ward by rail for the steamer which leaves
New York in day or two. The contents
of this note are of course unknown, but It's
general tenor is believed not to be a matter
of doubt. 1t will endeavor to show to the
British government that the treaty, the
protocol that marked every feature of its
negotiations, and the correspondence sub
United as evideace before the Geneva con-
ference, all prove that it was the under
standing that in the language OF the first
article of the treaty, all causes of
differences between the two countries
should be amcably settled by arbitration,
and that as the question OF internal dam
ages had been matter of discussion when
the Johnson Clarendon treaty was up, it
has appeared to be a cause of difference.
The administration. therefore, in the fur
Their language of the first article of the
treaty to remove and ad just all complaints
and claims on the part of the United States,
represent, it is believed, that the American
case under this article would have been in
complete without Including the question of
indirect damages. 1t is, therefore. submitted
that this government can not either modify
or withdraw its case according to its under
standing of the treaty. but proposes to refer
the preliminary question to the Geneva con
ference for its decision. AS tins is precisely
what Gladstone declared in Parliament he
would not agree to, it is hard to see how,the
English ministry will accept the American
view of the case. Since the facts have be
come better known here the impression has
gradually gained ground among public men
who have studied the question in all its de
tails that the treaty will ultimately prove
failure

How street Car Conductors Get Rich.

t"fte says:
A street ear conductor of many years ex-
perience, who has been discharged for
knocking down. publishes an expose of TIL
grand stealing operations i'll vogue among
street car employees here. A conductor OF a
car receives. s. wages daily, and must
; divide every week about SIS between the
driver. starter and receiver, or else they
conspire to throw him behind time, and re
duce his receipts below the minimum. To
get a situation the conductor must pay from
so to so to the superintendent. Drivers
III turn are bled by the toremen OF the
stables. who apportion the best horses TO
the most liberal. Al honest conductor is
hunted off the road in a few days, but few
are troubled in that way. On a holiday.
when the cars are unusually jammed the
conductor steals from s. to SD but ordina-
rly from 81 to 8. In spite of this leak.
the main lines IL New York pay enormous
dividends, and no stock can be bought.
