A Favorable View OF the Treaty.
A Geneva special says the re-
suit of Wednesdays sitting of the
Board of Arbitration is of the most
favorable character, and it is con-
fidently believed that when the tribunal
meets again on the twenty-sixth instant
the success will be assured. 1t is also
believed that considerable progress has
been made in the solution of the ques-
tion.
Sports.
At the Fleetwood Park races yester-
day, the unfinished trotting match for
four hundred dollars, mile heats, best
three in five, to wagons, was won by

Movements OF the strikers,
The striking workmen are all quiet to-

on the eight-hour plan. Some five thou
sand sugar refinefs are on strike, out of
seven thousand employed. The piano
forte makers on strike propose march

tomorrow morning, with the hope of in
dueing the men at work to join them.
The workers in iron in South Brooklyn
joined the strikers ranks yesterday
evening. There are now about three
thousand men in Brooklyn out on strike.
1t is apparent, however, that the men
are beginning to lose confidence in
themselves.

in finding the whereabouts of person
alleged to have been abducted from
Canada in violation of the extradition
treaty. Yesterday, Information was re-
ceived that ne was in the custody of the
United States Marshall of North Caro-
lima. 1t now appears that Detective
Hester had an eXtraditiOn warrant for
man named Avery, charged with a
violation of the kukluX act, but the
Canadian officers delivered up one
Britton, who is also charged with hav-
ing committed a murder in that State.
Our government will send him back to
Canada without delay, and indemnify
him for false Imprisonment.

What May be Expected from Illinois.

The shreWd correspondent of the New
York Times whose letters from New
Hampshire and Connecticut before the re-
cent elections, contained remarkable pre-
dictions which were strictly fulfilled, is
now in Illinois.
He says the only serious detection from
Republicanism in that State is among the
Germans, and that, because of the recent
stringent liquor law adopted by the Legis-
lature. The detection on this ground
will be made up by recruits from the tenn
perance men.
Perhaps no one fact is more suggestive
than that except the Chicago Tribune, not
a single Republican newspaper in the
State has turned upon the party. In Chi
cago, the Tribune is offset by the Inter
ocean, Evening Journal, Evening Post
and Erc'sir'g llaA,while in Peoria, Bloom
ington, Decatur, Quincy, Alton, Cairo,
Rock Island, Gal ena, Gaiesburg, Jackson
Vile, Vandalia, Danville, Nashville, Will
mington, GolcOnda, Fulton, Clinton,
Waukegan, Paxton, Paris, Urbana, Pana,
Taylorsville, Ottawa, Charleston, Edwards
Vile, and indeed all the cities, towns and
counties of the State the local Republican
papers are not only against the Cincinnati
Convention, but with only three or four
exceptions, openly and earnestly demand
the denomination of General Grant at
Philadelphia as the due of the nation and
the Republican party. Significant as is
| this fact, it is not more so than that the
so-called Liberals have no organization
| anywhere in the State, and few or no fol-
lowers outside of Chicago-always place
OF political unrest, like all great cities
Springfield, which is the home of Senator
Irumbull, and Bloomington, the residence
| OF Judge Davis. Nothing is so certain as
mat Illinois soreheads 90 to Cincinnati
| divided between Senator Trumbull and
Judge Davis for President. If either is
nominated, the adherents of the other will
come home and either vote for Grant or
Keep away from the polls; but, if neither
OF tnese gentlemen secures the empty
honor, both factions will come home and
40 the same thing. AS conclusion then,
III view OF the whole situation, it seems
to-day mat Illinois is safe for the Phila,
delphla nominee, whether he be General
Grant or some other worthy standard-bear-
er, by at least ten thousand majority it
may be very much better than this, it can
not, in any event, Judging from present
J appearances, be any worse.

AMERICAN STEEL.-FOr the cal endar
year, Mr.. Henry McAllister, Secretary Of
the American Iron and Steel Association
reports that there were produced and sod,
of all kinds Of steel, except Bessemer and
s5eel-headed rails in the United States, 3d.
900 tons of 1000 pounds; and of this the
steel mills of Pittsburgh turned out p, 724
tons, or 224 per cent. more than the whole
quantity imported into the country
from all parts of the world. This steel
was supplied to consumers and merchants,
Notwithstanding the duty of $50 per cent
on foreign steel, in consequence of healthy
home competition, at from two to three
cents per pound, according to quality,
lower price than was ever known in our
markets, before the year 1863, when the
duty was but II to Is per cent. ad valorem,
and when we depended altogether Oh
England for our supplies of cast steel
thus showing the fallacy of the argument
that the price of commodity is controlled
and regulated by the duty, which i'll real
ity stimulates and encourages home COM
petition, which in turn reacts against high
prices and in favor of the consumer.

special correspondent (who is on the Tri-

lows:
The subject of the nominations to
made at the Cincinnati Convention is re-
celylng increased attention from the Eas-
tern public and the press. The fact is APP
parent that the Democratic leaders in New
folk desire the nomination at Cincinnati
OF Judge Davis, since they regard him as
an rntried man and likely to be pliable
Ben Woods paper, to-day, says Davis
must be nominated if Liberal Republicans
expect Democratic support.
Outside the circle of active politicians
the hope is generally expressed that
Charles Francis Adams will be nominat-
ell: The managers of the World assume
editorially to be friendly to Adams, but
print daily long and labOIed communica-
lions crlticising Adams treatment of the
Fenlan affairs when Minister to England.
The Sun has spoken favorably of the ticket
composed of Adams and GrOesbeck. The
tribune thus far has suggested no names.
