THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

Inc arbitration treaty, it is we'll to
remember, has been perhaps as great
a surprise to the statesmen of Great
Britain and the United States as TO
the rest Of the world. Contrast the
naughty message of Premier Sails
bury of little more than a year ago in
answer to Secretary Olney's equally
peremptory and naughty note, and
the grave and stern message OF Presi-
dent Cleveland in relation thereto.
with the happy result in regard to
the Venezuelan question and the treaty
OF peace uow before the United States
Senate for ratification or rejection,
and, on the face of it, this sudden
change OF attitude on the part Of both
British and American statesmen
seems almost incomprehensible. The
truth is-and this is a fact the United
States Senate should not forget at the
present Juncture, when such mighty.
almost incalcuable, results hang upon
Its decision-this change of front has
been brought about by the people Of
Great Britain and America. and the
rulers and diplomats of the ~ressective
countries have been acting in obedi-
ence to an almost imperative popular
demand. Friends of peace, scholars,
students, business men-in short. the
people in general in both countries
when brought to face the possibility
OF war with a kindred nation, actively
exerted themselves to avert what
would have been a calamity to civili-
ZatlOn.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY LEADS,

Mr.. Nixon received the full support
OF the Humboldt delegation in the
senatorial caucus, not simply for the
reason that Mr.. Nixon is a Hum.
boldter, but because the members from
this county are acknowledgements
who think and act for themselves and
ear always be depended upon to
stand for principle and right, as
against iattery and wrong.
While Mr.. Nixon fully appreciates
the support given him by the three
gentlemen from humboldt, as a GER
sonal Endorsement of his candidacy,
he takes more pride in The fact that it
places Humboldt county in a position
that is unassailable and honorable
for future campaigns. It was in this
county that the first definite plan of
action was organized which brought
forth the Silver party Of Nevada. a
party that in II few months overturned
all the we'll laid plans of the old party
manlpulators and revolutionized the
politlCo u tulS Otdte hence 1t Is Grd-
tifying to know that in the new issue
OF "home rule" Humboldt again takes
the lead.
Humboldt now stands in this posi-
ton: 1t submitted its claims to the
Silver party in caucus, the caucus
ruleu against it; it submits to the
Will OF the party, but now appeals to
the members Of the party in future
elections upon the question of "Ne-
vada for Nevadans," be it senator.
ships or anything else. II the people
OF this State by their ballot will say
that we must import talent to be re-
specially represented at Washington
either in the Senate or ia the different
departments, We will bow to their rul-
ing, but until that is done we intend
to keep up this agitation and in doing
this we represent ninety per cent of
the electors of this county, and we be-
lieve seventy five per cent of those of

RoReEp A BANK.
Masked Men Loot an Institution in
South Dakota.

Omaha, Neb., June 29.-A special to
the Bee from Deadwood, S. D., says:
-Four masked men Monday morning
made a desperate attempt to rob the
Butte County bank at Belle Fourche.
Entering the bank with revolvers drawn
they ordered the customers present
and bank officials to hold up their hands.
a little hesitancy on the part of Cash
ier Marble drew a shot from the gun of
one of the robbers, which clipped off a
large portion of the cashiers right ear
and enforced compliance with the de-
mand. The safe and counters were re-
lieved of the cash they contained and
the robbers, mounting their horses,
which had been conveniently stationed,
rode away. An alarm was immediately
given and in a few minutes a we'll
mounted and armed posse was in pur-
suit of the robbers. Within few miles
from town the posse came up
with the fugitves and q running
fight ensued which resulted in
one of the robbers throwing UP
his hands and surrendering.
a later dispatch says that in the fight
with the bandits Walter Gay, of Gay &c
Sons, was shot through the cheek, re-
ceiving painful wound. The outlaws
fired right and left while riding out of
the town, but no one else was wounded.
Thomas Day. the captured robber, was
overhauled half mile from town and
is now in Jail at Deadwood. He is a
stranger in the vicinity. The rest of
the gang are now at bay in the Three V
ranch, few miles from Belle Fourche,
where they will likely be captured or
killed. 1t transpires that less than $75
was taken from the bank the cashier,
Arthur Marble, having slammed shut
and locked the doors of the vault at the
entrance of the robbers. He was fired
at three times, only one shot taking
effect. He tried to return the fire, but
his pistol failed him.

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
THE TALLEsr OF THEM ALI.

How brave they looked with guns ashine,
With floating flag and pennon gay;
How firmly trod the martial line,
Through surging crowds along the way.
While women turned to say: "Good-by."
Through tears that would unbdden fall,
I, waiting, watched and saw but one,
The tallest soldier of them all.
On tlp-toc 1 had buckled close
A shoulder-strap that morn for him.
But scarce could see the simple clasp,
Through eyes with welling sorrow dim;
With sad adieu and backward glance,
He left me at the bugles call,
To pray that God might watch and keep
The tallest soldier of them ALL
A squad went marching down the glen,
Picked men and true, for earnest work;
To start from covert by the way,
A foe who might in ambush lurk,
With wary eye and rifle poised,
With bated breath and soft football,
, They followed through that narrow pass
The tallest soldier of them all
Along the crags the stained vines,
Red with the ray October Sheds
Fluttered and swung their trembling spray
Around two crouching foemens heads,
Above the rock flashing gleam,
Adown the glen true-sent ball,
And there outstretched lay stark and still
The tallest soldier of them ALL
They brought him back, my gallant love,
With solemn step and bugle wall
They bore him through the crowded street
My soldier murdered in the vale.
Pallied and stjll he lay at rest,
Beneath the sacred banner pail,
80 low a. last 7 stopped to kiss
The tailest soldier of them ALL

semi- Military Organizations in Illinois are
Forced Out of Existence by n New Law.
Chicago, June 3O.-The American
volunteers, Ballington Booths relig-
lous organization, will be compelled to
change their uniforms. Policemen will
not be permitted to wear overcoats
fashioned after those worn by army
officers, the Clan-na-Gael guards will
be disbanded, Ford's famous Chicago
Zouaves will be forced out of existence,
while boys brigades and semi-military
companies throughout the state will be
disbanded or the members fined and
imprisoned
All of these things are owing to the
provisions of article II of the military
code, now law, which makes it un-
lawful for any body of men, other than
the regular organized volunteer militia
OF this state, the troops of the Enited
States, Grand Army pests or camps of
Sons of Veterans to associate them
selves together as military company
or organization, or to drill or parade

A BIG SHUTDOWN,
Tin Plnte and Iron Industries to sus-
pend Operations.

Pittsburgh. Pa. June 2O.-All the
union iron mills in the country, the
tin plate plants and sheet mills will
close on Wednesday night and remain
closed until the wage scales are set
tied. No serious trouble is expected,
and the failure to adjust the wage sched-
hles before the close of the year is not
an indication that a strike is to be in
hugurated. President Garland. of the
Amalgamated association. denies a tel
egraphic report from Chicago that he
will order general strike at the plants
of the Illinois Steel company if the
scale is not signed for the Bay View
mills before Thursday. He said the Bay
View and all the union iron mills in the
country will close on that day pending
a settlement of the scale. but that a
suspension is necessary at this time for
annual repairs, and that manufacturers
are not in a hurry to come to a settle
ment at once.
The iron scale will be taken up at
the conference at Youngstown Wednes-
day AS the present agreement expires
bn Wednesday night, all the tin plate
PLANTS, with the exception of tour non-
union concerns, will close at that time.
There will be no difficulty in arranging
the iron and steel sheet schedule. 1t is
practically settled now. but the manu-
facturers will not sign until the tin
plate schedule is adjusted at the mines
at the rates that are now being paid.
Another meeting of the board will like
ly be called within a week or two, but
President Dolan did not care to venture
a prediction on the result.

Smith, colored lad of IA, is in Jail here
charged with an attempt to wreck the
Bay Ridge excursion train from Wash

railroad tie on the track about mile
and half from this city. An employe
of the road, Isaac Tucker, also colored,
saw the occurrence. After removing
the obstruction Tucker pursued the
boy, who was arrested later and locked
up in default of bail. There were nine

THREW UP HIS HANDS AND PITCHED
FORWARD.

north of Vicksburg, and about 80 feet
north of the mouth of canyon coming
down from the east, and lying directly
between us and the Johnnies, to rifle
pit that had been prepared for us in
the fore part Of the night.
The space from the extreme right of
our regiment running west to the Mis-
sissippi, some $50 yards, had not been
occupied by any of our troops in the
daytime during the siege.
On the north side of this canyon we
stood picket, and on the south the
Johnnies were on guard. So close were
we that considerable traffic took place
during the nights.
Boys" said our colonel, George A.
Stone, you will occupy this pit until
the coming nightfall; you would lose
your lives to undertake to get away
in daytime. Arrange your portfolios
with these empty cracker boxes to suit
yourselves. When daylight comes you
will see that the mouth of this canyon
makes off in low, fiat bar, all in easy
range. Here the Johnnies come early
in the morning by the score for a bath
and water for camp use. 1t will be your
duty to see that they don't use any of
that water"
We flew to work making our port
holes, and by the peep of day they
were completed. Soon we saw the
rebels coming. We took out 90 rounds,
bit off the paper ends, and each laid his
on cracker box at hand. AS the John
nies came on the order was given:
Fire by threes, one after another. ten
rounds at them when on the bar; then
the other ten as they come out of the
water. We will make them think there
Aarc a thousand of u.s."
The order was well executed. The
Johunies were piled in places on top of
each other, some crying for mercy. Our
leader, Arthur Bridges, yelled to the
Johnnies to take in their dead and
wounded. and no harm should be done
to them while on that duty.
One hour later. and their dead and
wounded were all in the canyon. No
Johnnies attempted to water at that
place that day. The balance of the
day was put in keeping two howitzers
in their holes, so they could not fire
on us.
About two o'clock, when the sun was
beaming down at a furious rate, one
of the boys whom we called Shorty"
said: Look at that red-shirted John
N.Y." He had jumped up the bank of the
canyon, not over 60 feet away. Looking
through my portfolio, saw the fire
from the Johnny's gun stream out. and
at the same time he threw up his hands
and pitched forward. But Shorty"
fell against me with bullet hole just
under the left eye and died in less than
two minutes. The Johnny lay there
the rest of the afternoon.-C. C. Stan
ley, in National Tribune.
