and a smaller bedchamber adjoining.
In the salon which was gau-

playing near to her was a child about
a year and a half old. Both mother
and child were very pale and delicate.
but both had the same soft features,
gentle blue eyes and golden hair.
The woman was Marjorie AMMAN
Marjorie with all the lightness and
happiness gone out of her face, which
had grown sad and very pale. AS
Caussidiere entered. she looked up
eagerly and greeted him by'his Chris
tian name. The child paused timidly
in his play.

Caussidiere uttered an angry eXcla-
nation, and threw himself into an
armchair.
1.-THE old woman had better take
care he cried Nearly a week has
now passed and she has not replied to
my note-that is, to yours. And we
want money Internally, as you know"
Marjorie sighed, and her eyes filled
with tears.
"Why are you crying?" demanded
her husband, sharply. Because you
have an unnatural mother, who would
rather see you starve than share her
wealth with you, or with the child?"
mo, no, it is not that" answered
Marjorie. miss Hetherington has
been very good. She has given us a
great deal already; but we require so
much, and l am sure she is not so rich
as you suppose"
"She is a miser. tell you," returned
Caussidiere. What she has sent you
is not sufficient for an ordinary semp-
stress wage. She had better take
care! If she offends me, look you,
could bring her to shame before all the
world"
At this moment there was knock
at the room door, and the man who
had admitted Caussidiere entered with
a letter.

Marjorie took the letter, and, while
the man retired, opened it with trem-

her gloomily, but his eye glistened as
he saw her draw forth bank order.

Senate Kills the Arbitration Treaty..

The final consideration in the United
States senate of the arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain, and refusal of that body to
ratify the treaty, by vote of 40 TO %,
was marked by spirited debate in.
troduced by Senator Mills, of Texas,
who made strong appeal against raii-
flying the agreement. He asserted
that as amended the document was
dictory, in term, and that under il
England justly could claim that ques-
tons of territorial rights were still in
cluded within the scope of the treaty.
Under such circumstances, he asked,
what was to prevent England from
purchasing the island of Cuba or any
other American territory. and in case
of objection on the part of the United
States insisting upon the reference of
the dispute to arbitration. lie spoke
of the conduct of England in connec-
ton with the GraecoTurllish war and
implored the Senate to protect the
United States against the proposed al
preston and the opinion was general
that the treaty should be amended so
as TO remedy the Inconsistencies,
but this required unanimous consent
and Senator Carter objected. The lat
ter said that there could be no doubt
of the Partially of the government,
and the people of the United States
towards the settlement of disputes by
arbitration, and that for this reason
there never would be any difficulty in
securing an agreement for arbitration
of any specific dispute with any nation
but it was not necessary for our people
TO tie themselves in an agreement of
uncertain scope and purport, especially
with a country which has shown itself
so completely out of sympathy with
the feelings of the people of the United
States in the position England had
taken in European affairs.
After the ballot Senator Davis, chair
man of the committee on foreign rela.
tions, attributed the defeat of the treaty
to the feeling of dissatisfaction at Eng.
lands course in the struggle of the
Greeks to liberate the island of Crete
from ottoman dictation and the Arme-
nian massacres, and with the evident
designs of Great Britain upon the
Transvaal.

o'clock. Their movements indicated
an intention to cut off our left wing

Other dispatches say: The fighting
was the most desperate, and the losses
on both sides were heavy, there being
1000 Greeks and 5000 Turks slain.
But the close of the day showed the SUI.
perior numbers of the Turks had en-,
abled them to partially outhank the
Greeks, and Crown Prince Constantine
therefore decided to make virtue of
necessity and gave orders for the evac-
uation of Pharsala and a retreat to
DokomoS.
1T was not a stampede, but an or
derly and well executed military move
ment, which began as soon as darkness
settled down, and was continued until
the last man, all the arms, artillery
and ammunition had left the place.
Before the first gray streaks of dawn
showed in the east the Greeks had be-
gun the preparations to defend the
heights of Domokos. Incessant skir-
mishing had been kept up by the out
lying forces to mask the retreat, but
as soon as the Turks discovered the
they took possession of Phar-
sala without opposition.
The railroad between Velestino and
Pharsala was cut by the Turks, thus
off communication between
the Greek armies, cutting off the base
of supplies for Velestino, which forced
Gen. SmolensSi TO commence retreat
from that point to Armyros.
The powers have decided to inter
vene, and the ministers of Great Brit
ain, France. Russia, Germany, Austria
and Italy will hand a collective note to
both the Greek and Turkish govern
ments calling upon them to cease hos
tilities on the distinct assurance that
the powers will undertake the final
of pending difficulties.
