THAT TREATY.-The London and
New York journals are hot about the
Geneva Conference. From appear
ances that body is about to break up
and leave the Alabama claims where
they have been since the close OF the
war. War is not probable though
it is freely talked about-possibly
sufficient to scare the English from
mininginvestments in America. The
English repudiate the American con-
struction of the treaty, and if it Is
insisted on threaten to withdraw the
arbitration. The New York World
says sit looks as if the Administra-
ton had overstepped the work OF
trying to make capital out of this
controversy, and if the treaty is re-
pudiated the public verdict will be
that the President and his advisers
have bungled the great question in
stead of settling it."

ATROcIOUS.

| The GOlu hull News furnishes the
following account of an atrocious act
committed at Gold Hill on Monday:
About l o'clock to-day a rap was
committed on the person of o little
girl about five years of age, daughter
of Mr.. Shulock, n of the proprie-
tors of the shooting gallery on Main
street. She was seen a short time
previously with a man by the name
of Baxter, who, enticed her by
giving her candy to go with him to
a place back of the Eclipse Stable,
where the horrible deed was com
mitted. Giving her some more
candy he sent her home. The little
one, crying bitterly, told her mother
what had happened, and about that
time, Sine Ogg, who had noticed
Baxter with her was telling his sus-
picions to the father at the Gallery,
and warning him against Baxter,
when the news of the crime having
been committed was brought to the
Gallery. Ogg and others imme-
diately started in pursuit, for the
fellow had not had time to take
alarm and escape. After a long pur-
suit he was captured at the Piute
mill; he was much frightened or ex-
cited and asked hurriedly "What
dyer want with me? [ haven't done
anything" When asked what he
ran away for then, he made no reply.
His captors led him up Main street
to the calaboose. Ogg with a drawn
revolver in his hand. which he was
obliged to threateningly present to
keep back the excited crowd of citi-
zens who were rushing thither with
threats Of lvnching. Many shouted

Jail. safe-at least for the present,
This was about half-past , o'clock
p. m. An excited and decidedly
turbulent crowd surrounded the
building, and threats to take the
prisoner out and hang him were
freely made. The officers, however,
are firm in their resolve to protect
the prisoner and let the law take its
proper course.
