AGAINST ARBITRATION TREATY.
Irish National Alliance Petition United
States Senate.

New York, November ga petition
to the United States Senate was issued
today from the headquarters of the Irish
National Alliance in this city, against the
adoption Of the proposed general treaty of
arbitration with England. The petition
will be circulated by the various councils
of the alliance throughout the country,
the Ancient Order of Hibernians and
other Irish American societies.
The petition says that the advocates of
the arbitration treaty here are the modern
American Tories, descendants of the men
who would have hanged Washington,
among the number being Bishop Doane
of Albany, N. Y, well known support
err of the defunct A. P. A., who upon re-
turning from conference in Lam beth
Palace, London, actually urged that our
history should be falsified so that young
Americans might grow up in the love and
fear, not of God, but of England. In con-
clusion, the petition says: Animated,
therefore with the sinoerest love of our
country, the profoundest respect for her
institutions and loyalty to her interests
and believing that any treaty with Eng
land, such as proposed, is, and cannot be
but inimical to her honor and integrity,
a menace to her bost interests, more
especially to that peace which is her
heritage, we appeal to you to repudiate
and cast out from your honorable cham Der
all proposals to enter into general agree
ment with England, as en- insult to the
nation and to your patriotism.

Gentlemen 1T is with great pleasure
that I bear testimony to the beneficial
results which almost invariably follow
the use of that king Of all remedies
Paine's celery compound. AS tonic, free
from deletsrious material, it has. to my
way of thinking, no equal. This remedy

PAINS celery compound creates whole
some demand for food, and cures disor-
dered stomach and costive bowels.
For all ailments and weaknesses that
have grown out of defects of nutrition,
such as nervousness, loss of strength,
thin and pale blood, loss of weight and
lowness OF spirits, Paine's celery COM
pound is the legitimate and logical cure.
1t overcomes loss of nervous power and
lessened power to digest food By gener-
ously feeding the nerves and regulating
their action. 1t banishes that continual
| tired feeling by cleansing the blood of
| clogging Impurities, and by stirring the
kidneys and other purifying organs to

Paines celery compound has cure d
many and many cases of dyspepsia Sleep

trouble that had puzzled physicians, and
the outcome of which seemed hopeless.
Many obstinately dyspeptic persons

general defects OF nutrition that have
| shown themselves in a wasted condition,
weakness and loss of strength have re-
peatedly yielded to this remarkable

The worn face, that sttests loss of sleep,
| soon loses its haggard appearance as the
nervous system gets nourished by Paine

earlier parts OF the day and the house
nnally adjourned until tomorrow.

Large crowds gathered this evening be-
tween the university buildings and the
parliament houses, owing to an announce
ment that the students contemplated a
demonstration. This, however, was pre-
vented by the police, who promptly dis
persed the students gatherings. They
made more than 40 arrests, but there was
no violent resistance. Thus far order
has been preserved.
After O'Clock this evening the aspect
of the street had l. become more threaten
ing.
A crowd of ten thousand, including a
large number OF students Assem- bled and
threatened the government with revolu-
ton, and Count Badeni, theIpremier, with
the guillotine. An attempt was made to
attack Count Badeni's house.
The police repeatedly charged the crowd,
but refrained from using arms. The
students resisted with sticks. One police
inspector was severely injured by kick
from horse, another was thrown from
his horse and so badly hurt that it was
necessary to remove him to q hospital.
A few students and some citizens re-
ceived slight injuries. Not until IL
o'clock was quiet restored.
Ioday's editions of most of the evening
newspapers have been oonfiscated and
the police have freely arrested persons
Offering papers for sale on the streets, the
sale being illegal.
A serious riot is reported at Gratz, the
capital city of Styria. Tt appears that
the students and large body of work
men attacked three newspaper officials,
doing some damage. The police with the
assistance of the troops, have restored
order and 20 arrests have been made OF
the ringleaders.
