To Be Emasculatcd BY Amend
ments.

Notwithstanding the fact, that
the new administration fayors the
prompt ratification of the arhltra-
ton treaty, it seems to be the de-
liberate purpose of the senate, to
so emasculate it with amendments
AS to entirely destroy its virlllty.
Especially is such the case, III the
amendment which provides that
no dispute is to be submitted by
the President to arbitration uuder
the treaty until it is first submit
ted to the Senate.
The adoption of such an amend
ment, will seriously impair, if it
does not entirely destroy the OBJ
ject sought to he accomplished by
the treaty. lis adoption would
not only he an Infringement upon
executive preroga;ive, but might
virtually have the effect OF defeat
ing tie intent of the treaty, the
Senate not being in continuous
session, by precipitatiug bostilities
between this country and Great
Britain or at least of bringing
about an open rupture, before the
Senate could be convened in extra
ordinary session. The legislative
department seems to be animated
by d spirit of encroachment upon
the rights legi,imately belonging
to the Executive.
Iflhe treaty is to be shorn of its
efficacy by the adoption of such
amendments, it had better be kill
ed in toto by all adverse vote.
The object of the treaty the
browning glory of Cleveland's ad
ministration-is to avert the pos
sibility of war between the two
great English speaking nations OF
the world and if tue attainment OF
the object is to be rendered doubt
full or uncertain from '.jingo legis
IaIion prompted by Jealousy Of the
executive branch of the govern
ment, it were far better that we
have no treaty stipulations on the
subject.

Out-M anoeuyeyea.

A few days ago, Mrly negro
named Jim Pickett was arrested
in this city for using obscene Ian.
guage on the streets and sentenced
to Imprisonment in thoStown lock,
up. He is a perfecta Sampson,
broke the iron bars in bis cell and
made his escape. Constable w.
j. Gilmore located him at Lena
and boarded the west bound pas
senger train Saturday evening for
that destination to arrest him.
The Constable saw him 60 into the
coach for colored passengers aud
knowing his desperate character,
called upon the passengers for as
sistaDce in Handwriting him, but
all declined to respond to his APP
peal for aid. The Constable then
drew his pistol on the negro and
demanded his surrender, to which
he readily acceded.
The Constable then attempted
to hand-cuff him and struggle
ensued, in which the negro seized
tbesofficers pistol aud reversed pc
sitions by drawing it Oh him and
warning The officer to keep "hands
otf. !" The officer. of course, was
powerless aud compelled to desist
from any further interference with
the negro.
The Conductor came to the res
cue OF the officer, but the despera-
do presented The pistol to his head
and gave him the same warning. 1t
would be work of supererogaIion
to say that it was implicitly heed
ed. The negro then went to the
platform with the pistol and hand
cuffs, jumped off the train, while
it was runuliig at a speed OF thirty
miles an hour, turned several som
ersaults, got up and walked oil.

Flood Situation Alarming.

The food situation on the Mis-
sissippi river is very alarming.
Large sections of Arkansas and
Mississippi are already submerged,
with some loss of life and consid-
cradle destruction of property.
The river from Cairo to Vicksburg
is higher than ever known before,
to be supplemented 10y another
flood coming out of the Missouri
river. With the water nearly to
the tops, the leyees are seriously
threatened in number of places
in Mississippi aud Louisiana. I'm
less these levees hold, the people
on both sides will be confronted
with the most disastrous iuunda-
ton in the history of the river.
