New York, May 29.-The Herdld's dis
patch from Washington says that the pro
tocol endorsed BY the Senate Is said to be
so arranged as 30 be q declaration on the
principle instead Of mere surrender of the
demand for consequential damages, and
that there is q probability in consequence
Of dissatisfaction on the part of Great Brit
ain, and the whole subject may again be
made the occasion Of further diplomatic
Correspondence.
Fish thinks the administration has won a
diplomatic victory, and the President says
be won't recede any further.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Secretary Fish
having received dispatches from London
this afternoon drove to the Capitol In order
tn communicate their contents to the
p esideni sYhile the President and Secretary
Fish were together in the room set apart
for the President, Senators Cameron, Nor
ton, Harlan and other members of the
Committee on Foreign Relations with
additional Republican Senators, were seen
going into and coming out of the room.
Nothing definite could be ascertained con-
corning the character of the dispatches, but
there was report that the English Ministry
hesitate to accept the additional article
to the treaty Of Washington
as modified by the Senate, the waving of
the claims for indirect damages not being
expressed with sufficient distinctness, the
United States merely proposing new rule
TO govern the action Of the Tribunal Of Ar
bitration, having the effect TO exclude that
class Of cases. Whatever may be the ulti-
mate disposition of the additional article, it
is certain that up to 3 O'Clock this afternoon
there had been no definite response from
the British Government. Much interest on
the subject Is expressed In executive, diplo-
matte and other circles, and an unusually
large number OftelegTams have passed be-
tween the two countries to-day.

WASHINGTON, Nay 29.-The President

Apart from this, his presence had no par

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-There are null |
iplying rumors to-day Of an extra session |
lext week, or soon after-not of the Senate |
or the consideration of the proposed sup |
elemental treaty with Great Britain, but of |
Congress for the transaction of ordinary |
legislative business. Senator Chandler, who /
las for some time had the River and /
1arbor Appropriation Bill ready to report |
o the Senate, holds it back for some in
crutable reason. Senator Conkling init
mated to Senator Cole very plainly in de-
,ate to-day that there were other matters
# more Importance than appropriation bills,
which must be disposed Of before adjourn
nent, and Gen. Butler said positively, in
conversation this afternoon, that adjourn
nent Monday next was impossible.

The object of an extra session is well I'M

be Democrats declare in most positive
srms that under no circumstances and on

Ill to pass If they are called in extra ses-
lon for that purpose. They are willing,
ley say, that fair vote should be taken
pom 1t in the House, and knowing well that
will fail, this is all they will concede.
There are many Republicans who will
Ote against the bill, believing that as

Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-By the action
{ the Senate to-day in concurring with the
louise to finally adjourn Congress on Mon
az next, and by the action of the House
in refusing by decided ma
,rity vote to pass the bill to continue the
over in the Presidents hands to suspend

sttled that there will be no extra session,
nd that the present session will end on |
Ionday. The friends Of the Administra
on have asserted positively within a day

esOrt to Parliamentary tactics to defeat the
abeaS corpus suspension bill, more COM
lonly known as the Ku-Klux bill, and the
