WAsHINGToN, June IA report prevailed to-
day that England has accepted the additional
article to the treaty of Washington. This re-
port may have been founded on the remarks
made last night in the house Of lords, which gave
promise of such result. No official information
has been received up to late hour
tonight confirming the report. Gentlemen in
official positions have, however, through Minis
ter Schenck, snch intimatons as lead them to
believe that the article will be accepted with an
explanation given the British ministry by au-
thorlty OF our government in relation to conse-
quential damages. Should the article be ac.
cepted, it will be embodied in the form of a treaty,
to be negotiated here by Secretary Fish and

for the queens signature. The arbitrators at

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY srr.I

WASHINGTON, d. c., June I.
THE OMNIBUS BILL.
A very large number of Jobs are struggling TO
find resting place in the omnibus bill In the
senate, Senator Sherman said this morning that
the treasury could afford TO compromise with
the lobby by giving it a round million of dollars
if it would agree to let the bill alone. Millions
will be taken, if half the amendments offered in
the senate are agreed to, and here is one secret
of the clause for an extra session.
MULTITUDE OF JOBS
Are intended to be got through congress under
cover of intense zeal for the kuklux and civil
rights legislation.
THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
Another attempt was made in the house to
pass the civil rights BILL but it failed of enough
to suspend the rules The vote showed major
ity of thirteen for it. On the motion to suspend
the rules and pass tha kuklux bill, the ayes were
fifty-six and the nays eighty-eight number
Of republicans were absent, but if the house
were full it would be defeated without doubt
THE NOMINATIONS.
number of delegates to the Philadelphia
convention are here on their way home, and
quite number Of members who went over are
back in their seats to-day. The general feeling
in congressional circles is that the nomination
of Wilson will add strength to the ticket
SYMPATHY FOR MIR. CoLFAx
Almost every one expresses sympathy for Mr..
Colfax. Certainly those who rejoice over his
defeat are very few; but it is the unanimous
opinion that Wilson will run better.
SOME CRITICISM
Is expeRded upon the platform. 1t is said to
lack fire and boldness. Some of the southern
republicans think that it should have been more
decided in regard to kuklux and enforcement
legislation. On the whole, however, the conven.
ton is regarded as a success. SAM WELLER.

The DRIVING PARK.--Tt was the intention
OF the managers of the Worcester park associa.
ton to arrange for series of trots to come off
this afternoon upon their grounds, in which
some Of the fastest and most noted of our local
trotters would exhibit thei PAGES, but the heavy
rains which have prevailed during the week have
prevented the owners Of the animals from exer-
csing them, and as the track is still rather
heavy, the exhibition has been postponed for
one week, The grounds will however be opened
to the public this afternoon, and all wishing to
exercise their horses upon the track are invited
to do SO. Next. Saturday afternoon it is the in
tcntlon OF the managers 10 present programme
OF trots which cannot fail TO be interesting aud
exciting. No admission fee will be charged,
and it is expected, in view of the success of the
opening day of the season, two weeks ago, that
a large attendance of spectators will be present.
1t is understood that the officers OF the associ-
alton have decided to fit up portion Of the
space inside the track for a base ball ground.
and that they have made arrangements with
some of the officers of the Boston club to send
down an experienced man to do the work. The
ground will be graded and thoroughly rolled,
and when finished will be all that can be desired
by admirers of the national game 1t is also re-
ported that arrangements are being made by
which one or more games between champion
clubs can be played here during the season. A
match game on the 4th of July between two
strong mines would draw out large crowd, and
result in considerable pecuniary profit.
