New YORK, June 3.-rhe following is sub
stantially the contents of the note of Earl Gran
VILE, handed to Minister Schenck on Saturday,
and telegraphed 10 the secretary OF state: Her
maiesty's government hold that by the article
adopted by the senate, cases of bad faith and
willfu misconduct resulting in the failure to OBJ
serve strict neutrality are brought within scope
of the proposed agreement, which deals with
peCunary compensation. Earl Granville is in
formed that ii appears to be the view of the GOV
eminent of the United States that such cases are
not hit subject OF pecuniary consideration, but
that the article proposed shall apply TO all
classes of indirect claims. He is likewise adj
vised by Sir Edward Thornton that MIR. Fish is
of the opinion that the article adopted by the
senate is capable of improvement, while the
president maintains that the article last pro-
posed by her majesty's government is also cap
able of great modification.
The government of the United States, Earl
Granville is persuaded does not believe THAI
there is any such difference of objects between
the two governments in the definition and limi-
itaton which each desires to place upon the liza
bility of neutral rs to prevent any agreement
on the language In which such liability can be
expressed, if time be allowed for the exchange
OF views in some more trustworthy manner than
by the use of the telegraph. Under the circum-
stances the British government must decline to
sign the treaty, which is not in conformity with
their views. and which docs not express the
principles which tue American government be-
iieves 10 he entertained by both parties to the
negotiations, and which Immediately after be-
ing signed would become the subject of nego-
tiations with a view tG ts alteration. In this
position her maiesty's government repeat their
readiness to extend the time allowed for the ar
bitrators TO meet at Geneva, and they have, as
Gen, Scbenck is aware, provided Sir Edward
Thornton with full powers to sign treaty for
this purpose, or they are willing TO concur in
Joint application to the tribunal Of arbitration
IN oIln N frn-
tjon, which they are advised by their law officers
is within the competence Of the arbitratOrs to
do upon such an application with the iormality
OF treaty.

KEY WEST, June 2.-Havana correspondence
states that the government has prohibited the
journals from furnishing any other quotations
than those of the royal board of brokers.
Inc president of the Havana railroad in a
communication to the Voz de Cuba, charges
the brokers with giving fraudulent quotations
~ order to misead merchants and impose on
the public. The government thus makes itself
partially responsible for the evil in refusing to
allow the press to publish the regular quota

lsrEoIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY sPY.l
From Washington.
WASHINGTON, D. C June 8.

WASHINGTON, D. C June g.
CARPENTER's REPLY To SUMNER.
The replies to Sumner and Schurz in the sem
ate this afternoon have excited much interest
as might have been expected Mr. Summers
violence towards the president has provoked
violent criticism on himself. Mr.. Carpenters
speech was able, so far as it applies to Schurz
and the sale of French arms; bat when it came
to Sumner it was harsh and even brutal; but
not any more so than the speech which called
it forth. The closing sentence, in which he de-
cared his opinion that Mr.. Summers account of
his interview with MIR. Stanton was a fabrica-
ton, was the most brutal thing in it, In other
words, he believes Mr.. Sumner to be liar
The comment of cool-headed republicans here
on this and Logan's speech is, that while they
may be justified by Mr. Summers violence, yet
they will do no good.
| THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
The general opinion in congressional circles is
| that the old ticket will be renominated. OF
course there is no doubt about Gen. Grants re-
nomination. The vice presidency lies between
| ColfaX AMI Senator Wilson, but those who pro-
fess to know state that Collax has majority
| pledged for him.
| TARIFF.
The conference committee on the tariff tax
bill has done very well, on the whole. Tobacco
is compromised at twenty cents Secretary
Boutwell, protested that he could not stand all
the stamp reductions Of the senate, and the SEN
ate coufers consent to modify the senate amend
ment relating to stamps. There is little hope of
| bo m ho 10. 40
senate is so determined on squandering its time
in making political speeches.
ATTEMPT TO CONTINUE THE SESSION.
The attempts to run the session far into the
month are continued by small number of
members in both branches. Two interests are
| combined for this purpOse-that OF mass of
private legislation which will not be attended to
if the session closes on the 10th, and that which
demands the passage of the enforcement and the
kukluX bills.
1t is not believed, however, that congress will
remain in session after the 10th or 18th. Quite
number of members have returned home,
generally pairing off in such a manner as to
leave the remaining business safe.
FOR PHILADELPHIA.
A very large number of congressman leave
tonight and tomorrow for Philadelphia.
SAM WELLER.
| THE TARIFF AND TAX BILL.
The conference committee on the tariff and
tax bill have agreed on their report. They
| place whisky at seventy cents, which covers cv-
| rything except the ten cent stamp on the barrel
for rectilyer, and fix uniform tax Of twenty
| cents on tobacco.
| MISCELLANEOUS.
The president has approved the bill amcnda-
| tory OF the centennial anniversary act.
Recent information from Spain strengthens
the prospect that DR.. Houard will soon be re-
stored to liberty in accordance with the demand
| of our government.

Tie SPENCER BRANCH RAILRoAD.-A special
town meeting, presided over by Lothrope
PrOuty, was held in Spencer on Saturday, to see
what action the town would take in reference to
building branch railroad from the village to

over 100 per cent within three years; also that
over 10000 tons of freight had been transported

little over two miles, and the estimated cost

tic action was taken upon the subject before the

ElnOtt Ahead OF them AN-TIme
Correspondence Net7 York Herald.
Boston, June 29-Mr. Bonner, of
New York, can again be happy in
the possession of the fastest trotter
IN America His famous horse Jo.
Elliott, which has been at the Mys-
tic Park in this city for the last
week, etO-day earned for himself
the proud distinction of making a
mile in less time than any other
horse in the country. For several
days he has been regularly tested,
and on Wednesday he accomplished
his time in 2:1S. To-day, however,
he did still better, making the dis
tanc0 in 2:l5l, which stands as the
fastest time on record The rib
bOns were held BY Jack Bowen, who
has had the horse in training, and
over the course 10. Elliott was sent
TO the best advantage. The one
quarter pole he passed, and was
noted there in 81 I, and by the half
IN 1:074. With q grand stride he
came down the home stretch and
under the wire in 2:154. The judges
were c. Chase, Albert Worcester,
Lon Morris, w. w. Gomez and b.
IS Wright.
All these gentlemen timed the
horse, and, with one exception,
their record was 2:153. The Timer
who differed gave him the mile in
2.l54, but il was decided 10 record
the slowest time indicated. The
following telegram has been sent
to Mr.. Bonner:
"BosToN, June %, 1872.
Robert Bonner, New York:
Bowen just drove 10. Elliott one
mile in two minutes fifteen and
one-half seconds (2:153). First quar-
ter, thirty four and one-quarter sec

When Jo. Elliott was five years
old he trotted in 2:192. When he
was six he trotted in 2;184. When
he was seven Mr.. Bonner himself
drove him half a mile in Lee. He
is now eight.
