EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. 27.-Captain

Pankinshaw, towing a pleasure barge to
Green river, had been scuttled by flowing
ice in the river six miles above the city
and had sunk. There We're thirteen ,nen
on the boat. and four, including captain
Server, escaped to the barge. The barge
ffoated back down the river, and the cccu-
pants succeeded in attracting the attention
of some of the workmen of the Louisville
* Nashville yards, at Howell. and told the
story. Owing 10 the heavy flow of ice in
the river it was impossible TO SEN! them
aid. The men on the barge complained of
suffering from exposure. People at Hen

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
senate Committee on Foreign Rela.
tiOns Again POstpones Action.

o
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-The Senate
| committee on foreign relations had the ar
| bitration treaty under consideration for an
hour and a half again to-day, but failed
to reach a conclusion. The committee adj
| iourned. to meet again Saturday, when ii
is hoped that the Senate will not be in ses-
sion and the committee can give the entire
day to the treaty. There is a growing
feeling in the Senate that the treaty should
be reported either favorably or otherwise,
as a whole or with amendment and the
committee is disposed TO yield to the pres
sure to the extent of giving all the time
possible tc the subject. The meeting to-
day was attended by all the members of
the committee and the discussion was very
earnest. The necessity of guarding the
treaty so as TO prevent encroachment un-
der any pretext whatever upon the Monroe
doctrine, was again the principal topic, the
especial point of controversy being the
feasibility of preventing such encroachment
by an amendment. The point was unsettled
when the committee adjourned. but the be-
lief was expressed that a conclusion might
be reached at the Saturday meeting.
An amendment was offered which, 1t is
believed. will fully protect all the rights
OF the United States under the Monroe
doctrine and also the American rights in
connection with the Nicaragua canal and
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. but its terms
yiding for the selection of King
way. as umpire. This provision of the
treaty is receiving very careful scrutiny.
and it now seems quite probable that an
amendment will be adopted changing the
provision. 1t is possible that the clause may
be stricken out or that the arbitration
commission may be empowered to choose
its own umpire whenever occasion arises
where a deciding vote may be necessary.
Members Of the committee who ~criticise
this portion OF the treaty say they find that
the relationship between Great Britain and
Sweden Is a very close one and that tneE
have discovered also that an alliance eX-
lists between Great Britain ard France. in
which the two former countries agree to
protect the Scandinavia kingdom by force

on their part. This agreement they consid-
