WASHINGTON.
The Geneva Arbitration Po,,poncd.

Inc Ueneva ArD1tfauOn FOotpOmeds
WASHINGTON, June 5.-It is stated that after
the Cabinet meeting yesterday despatch was
sent to Mr.. Schenck, reiterating the position of
this government on the supplemental article to
the treaty, and intimating that the British sug
gestion for the pOstponement of the business of
the Geneva tribunal, with the view to a better
understanding of the article was not unreason-
able, and that the United States was willing to
bring about an adjournment of the arbitrator,
either by formal treaty concluded at Wash
ington before the Senate adjourn or by joint ap-
plication to be presented by agents of the two
parties to the arbitration.
Changes Of the New Tariff
The total reduction of revenue by the new
tariff and tax bill is $53,057 ,259. The duty on
salt in bulk is cents; in bags, sacks, barrels
or other packages IL cents per 100 pounds. The
existing duties are reduced 10 per centum on all
manufactures of cotton of which cotton is a
component part of the chief value; on all man
ufactures wholly or in part of WOOL or part of
alpaca and other like animals, and on all iron,
steel and other metals and their manufactures,
which includes pig iron but a duty of $15 per
ton is imposed on all moisic iron made from
sand ore by one process. The specific redac-
those metals are now included in the 10 per
cent. reduction The tariff does not touch
wines or liquors.
rc+r. The British Attitude.
The debate in the House of Lords concerning
the Treaty of Washington excites comment in
official and other quarters The general opin-
ion is that the responsibility for the success or
failure of the treaty will now rest with Great
Britain, and that our government will proceed
with the business irrespective of English com
ment. There is still hope that an accommoda-
ton will be reached about the consequential
damages, though there is no intelligence to-day
which promises this result

The Festival Rehearsal.

| The skies were not suspicious yesterday fol
a gathering of singers from distant points; SC
the proposed rehearsal of Jubilee Music by all
the musical societies of Maine was held by a
much smaller band of singers than would 9th.
! erwise have collected; yet the event was by nc
means a failure, but grand success, and wove
the first cords that shall eventually knit to-
gether the magnificent musical talent of the
| Pine Tree State into one of the grandest and
most harmonious bodies that ever was produced
by community. The rain poured in torrents
all day, and at o'clock it looked as if the
Haydns must work alone. A little delegation
reported from Biddeford dozen brave ladies
and gentlemen from Bangor brought their Gre
dentials; the Knox and Lincoln Association
sent representatives; half hundred came from
Lewiston, and Fryeburg sent her President and
some OF his followers; so that by half past
o'clock over 200 seats ON the platform were oc-
cupied. The private rehearsal went off grand
ly. Kotzschmar almost instantaneously infus-
ed his own magnetism into the chorus, and by
the time the third selection was reached every
person was under the complete control of the
conductor. An hour and half was well SPENT
and the singers were dismissed for supper. Be-
fore they separated Mr.. Thurston, President of
the Haydn Association, welcomed the visitors,
and congratulated them upon the success of the
rehearsal under such unfavorable circumstan-
ces. He expressed the hope that this was but
the first of series of similar gatherings, and
INDUCED the joyful hope that all the associa-
tions of the State might at an early day be per-
mitted to unite in grand State Festival; for
Maine had the material for an Association that
would equal the best efforts of any of her sis
ter States.
The later trains brought additional numbers
from abroad, who reported in the evening; the
ranks of the Haydns had filled up, and when
Mr.. Kotzschmar took the baton there was about
$50 to respond to him. A very large and en-
thusiastic audience had gathered and were at
once en- rapport with leader and chorus.
The concert was simply superb. Every selec-
ton was almost faultless in execution. Mr.
Kotzschmar held the chorus under perfect con-
troll, and woke the joyous echoes of the hallelu-
jahs or whispered the soothing melody of the
cradle song with the same facility with which
he controls the powers of the organ. We have
no time tonight to speak specifically of any of
the selections; there is scarcely need of it, We
give the programme below as the best means of
conveying to those familiar with the Jubilee
music the character of the selections:

OUR AMERICAN CoUsIN.-Those who have
kept the run of the drama in Portland will
recollect the sharp competition between Pixies
company at Deering Hall and Laura Keene at
City Hall few years ago, when both COM
panies put the American Cousin on the stage,
and drew out the largest number of theatre go
ers that had been known for years. Both mana
gers made money by the operation, while pub
lie opinion was divided as to the merits of the
respective Dundreary's. Both were imitators
of Sothern, and were as satisfactory as a coun-
terfeit article could be made. Mr.. Sothern
will give his own creation of the character at
City Hall tonight and there appears to be con-
siderable interest felt in his visit. There is no
question of Mr.. Sothern's ability Very few
American actors have acquired such fame in
England as he did, and the London papers for
got their studied dignity and reserve in the
warmth of praise for his remarkable portrait
ure of a character novel to an English audience.

Senator Br0Wnlow Is preparing, and will
seek some proper time to deliver in the
Senate,a speech in full reply to the assault
of Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, upon the gov
ernments of the Southern States, Mr..
Beck having sought, by the plea of cor
ruption and maladminiStratiOn, to excuse
and Justify kuklux outrages and the still
ranking feelings of the rebellion mani
tested OH every hand. This speech was
made in the House OH the 22d instant, and
in it Mr.. Beck, speaking of Southern Off
Gals, said: Hated and despised, their only
refuge, if they can escape the penitentiary,
seems to be in the Senate of the United
States at which point he was called to
order by the Speaker. In scurrilOus
TRADE upon the Governors of the Southern
States, he spoke of Senator BrownlOw as
having made pandemonium of the
State of Tennessee We can not wonder
at the tone of the speech in the House

But Senator Brownlow, afflicted as heis,
