No Oh1clal Notice Can be Given England Of
tho Rejection of the Arbitration Treaty.
WASHINGTON, May 8.-The failure OF
the senate to make public its action on
the arbitration treaty has created an
unusual condition Of affairs. There Is
no official information that the senate
has taken any action, or that the treaty
has been rejected, or that the defeated
treaty was different from the one Or
iginally submitted. All that is known
officially is that treaty was concluded
by Secretary Olney and Sir Julian
Pauncefote and sent to the senate. 1t
then went into executive session, SC
that no official information has been
given as to the amendments made and
the final action taken.
The secrecy Of executive sessions
does not permit the state department
or the British government to be noti
fed as to what has occurred. 1t is felt
to be due to the other contracting
party to the treaty that some notice
should be given as to what has beer
done and as to the form of the treaty
when it was rejected. In case thu
senate never should make its actor
known, the last official record on tn,
treaty would be its submission to tn
senate four months ago.

Uncle Sans Special Envoy Leaves WASH
ington for Cuba to Investigate the RuiH
Case.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-W. j. Cal
houn, of Illinois, special counsel for
the United States government in the
Ruiz case, left Washington Saturday
night for Tampa, Fla, where he will
take the steamer for Havana. Mr. Cal
houn expects to spend a day or two
after his arrival in Havana with Con-
sui General Lee before undertaking
the formal beginning Of the inquiry.
His functions are strictly limited to
the investigation of the conditions un-
der which DR.. Ruiz met his death in
the Jail at Guanabacoa.
The proceedings are not to be in the
nature of legal trial, because so far
there is no accused person. They will
be rather in the line of thorough in
vestigation, which is to be held with
the consent OF and by the invitation ot
the Spanish government, and the Uni
ted States will be represented by spe
cial counsel in order to offer every as
surance that the proceedings are fair
1t is expected that the investigation
will be initiated by the Spanish author
tiles Just as soon as Mr.. Calhoun indi
Gates that he is ready to begin. AS thu
death Of DIR. Ruiz took place in the jail
ct Guanabacoa, asuburb within the cor
porate limits of Havana, it will not b.
necessary to 60 outside of the city t.
make the inquiry.

A LARGE DEFALCATION.
Money of a National Bank Stuck to the
Bookkeeper's Fingers.

Money of q National Bank Stuck to the
Bookkeeper's Fingers.
COLUMBUS, o., May 1.-THE exam
ination of the books of the national
bank which is to be consolidated June
10 with the Fourth national bank, has
disclosed that C. Fl. Damsel, general
bookkeeper of the national bank, is
defaulter to an amount between S15, 1000
and $4,000. The defalcations date
back about five years ago. Damsel
had been connected with the bank 81
years and the fact that he was trusted
implicitly enabled him to conceal his
crookedness. His plan of operation
was to hold out checks, varying in
amount from $50 to 5000, on banks in
other cities. Although the statements
from these banks did not balance with
his own books he always represented
that they did and no one questioned
his word.
The first discovery was made about
ten days ago and about week age
Damsel disappeared and his where.
abouts are unknown. Damsel lived
high during the last few years and
gambled some. Though he never gave
any bond the bank is fully unidentified
against loss by William Monypenny.

WARRINGTON, May 1o.-The senate
on civil service on Saturday
resumed the investigation Of the oper-
ations Of the law which was d. err
taken some time ago. William w. hS =
former assistant superintendent Of tho
free mail delivery, charged that there
had been collusion between the post
Office department and the civil service
commission to violate the law, by the
employment in 1894 and 1895 of SO spies
whose employment was not authorized
by law. Two Of the inspectors, termed

Fire Breaks Out In the Cargo and Ter
RHO Battle ia wAged for Hours BY
the Crew In the EndeAV0r to
Quench the Flames.

NEW YORK, May 10-The Mallory
line steamer Leona, which left her pier
on Saturday bound for Galveston, took
fire at sea, put lack and arrived in
port last night with 16 corpses on
board. The dead were Is steerage pas
sengers and three members of the
crew, who succumbed to terrible fire
which occurred off the Delaware capea
at an early hour Sunday morning. The
horror Of the story can hardly be told.
Those who are dead were picked up be-
low decks, and although frantic efforts
were made by the officers of the vessel
to save them, the fire had gained such
terrific headway before the danger was
discovered that oil escape was cut of.
The steamer carried in her cargo q
number of bales Of cotton. 1t is not
certain how the fire originated, but
when it was discovered it burst forth
with such fury that it was impossible
TO reach the steerage. Even then the
steerage passengers apparently were
unmindful of the danger, else the
smoke and flames had not reached
them.
The saloon passengers were first
aroused, and in such manner as tc
occasion little alarm. When it became
apparent that the FIRE had cut of the
steerage, the captain and his mer
poured great quantities of water dowr
the ventilator and the most frantic

a DEMONS CRIME.

A Farm Hand Shoots His Former Em.
ployer, the Latter's Wife, and Two Ser
wants.
WAUKEsHA, Wis, May s-A horrible
tragedy was enacted Friday morning
at the home of Alexander Harris, a
farmer living five miles south of this
city. William Pouch, farm hand,
who had been employed by Harris
about two years ago, came to the house
Thursday night and requested lodging
for the night. He was taken in, given
supper and went to bed. At 6 o'clock
yesterday morning Pouch left his room
and, going to the yard where Harris
and his hired man, Nelson McHolt,
were milking the cows, shot Harris in
the head, killing him instantly. Pouch
then turned his revolver on McHolt, in
ficting probably fatal wound.
The demon left his victims where
they fell and walked to the farm house
There he met Mrs. Harris and the
hired girl, Helen Kesbach, and chatted
pleasantly with them for a few min
utes. He said Mr.. Harris would not
be in for few minutes and that he
would partake of his breakfast at
once. The women waited upon the
murderer, and after concluding his
breakfast Pouch arose from the table
and shot Mrs Harris in the breast and
then fred at the hired girl. Mrs Har-
ris fell to the floor with a serious but
not fatal wound. The hired girl has a
chance of recovery. After finishing
his bloody work the murderer robbed
the house and rode away.

EnthuslAsm Of the Hellenes Subsidies After
the Retreat from PhArsAIos.

LONDON, May S-The Athens COR
respondent Of the Times says: The
news of the retreat from Pharsalos was
at frst received with CONSERVATION.
but the public has accepted the situa-
tion and now regards the retreat to
Domokos as strategic movement die
tated by prudence. 1t is generally felt
that Gen. Smolensli's defense Of Veles-
tino has vindicated the reputation of
the Greek army and wiped out the dis
grace Of Matt and Larissa. The ma
tional honor is untarnished. But while
all this is so, the old bellicose enthu-
siasm of the Athenians has vanished
completely. On all sides desire for
peace is expressed, and should the gov
ernment invoke the intervention of the
powers, 1t would probably be supported
by public opinion. The anti-royal feel
ing is diminishing. The main body of
Smolenski's force arrived Friday morn
ing at Almyros,, All the inhabitants
of Domokos have fed to Lamia.
Great skill is displayed in the STRAIT
egy Of the Turks. Four divisions from
Trilskala and Larissa are being stimuli
taneously concentrated at Pharsalos
In the fighting at Velestino the Turks
under Haiku Pasha stormed the frs
line Of the intrenchments Of the Greeks
who abandoned the second line during
the night. Haiku then occupied the
position, the Greeks having retreatet
upon Volo. The railway connecting
Trihkala, Velestino and Larissa is nov
in possession Of the Turks. This secon'

plainly that it will refuse to fight
pitched battle.
