NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Herald
Washington dispatch says the failure
Of the treaty of Washington, so far
as it relates to the settlement of the
Alabama claims, is at last conceded by
thePresident Fish called on the Presi-
dent on the receipt of Schenck's dis
patch, with the note of Earl Granville
as to the manner of disposing of the bust
ness of the arbitration on the 18th,
and the President said the only course
was to meet the pretensions of the
British Government in their own Ian
guage. Accordingly Schcnck was
yesterday instructed to abandon the
arbitration. Schenck's instructions
specify that this government declines
to become party to this joint appli-
cation for adjournment. If moved by
Great Britain this government cannot
be party to- any understanding
whereby Great Britain submits her
arguments conditionally, the obliga-
tions of the treaty being reciprocal
and unqualified. If the British Gov
eminent has Q desire to withdraw
from arbitration, they must do $50
without asking the consent Of this
governments. If such. q notice Of
withdrawal as is suggested in Gran
Wills note be given, it viii be the du-
~ of the American agent and counsel
to rspel IL very decidedly in terms
which sclfcspect will make necessary.
Such notice would instantly terminate
all further negotiations on the part Of

vance on piece work. 1t is said that
they number some $4,000. All work

the most formidable strike yet made;
they are thoroughly organized, and
have large amount of funds in their
treasury, and will probably be sue
cessful Toe
The wheelwrights and blacksmiths
also struck, and but two large shops
were at work to-day.
The attempted riot at Steinway's
piano factory to-day was promptly
suppressed, the strikers fleeing very
rapidly before the clubs of the police
men. Nearly 400 men are at work at
Steinway's to-day, and sevral other
factories were in operation under the
old regime. % ' r..' 1r''
The coach painters have organized
a union, and their strike bids fair to
succeed. .
The German cabinet makers are
successful. ''
The workmen of Singers sewing
machine works propose a cooperative
union. They have sent a committee
to Bridgeport, Connecticut, to confer
with workmen in the Howe and
Wheeler & Wilson works, and obtain
assistance. The Metal Union League
promise pecuniary assistance to them.

The Democratic party has organized

ed and waited for the hour and oppor-
tuuity when We could nationalize the
policy under the sight of which they
have been delivered from Radical
bondage and oppression. The hour
and the occasion have come. l say
we should take this ticket and support
it cordially and earnestly, aud not
only that but we should say to
our Northern Democratic friends that,
if they wish to maintain any influence
or authority over us, they must come
up and do likewise We are in no
situation to subject ourselves to the
charge Of shutting or equivocation,
nor do I think our Northern allies are
either. And all the severe talk of
the New York World, and the invective
Of Mr.. Voorhees, about Mr.. Greeley's
