Denver, Jan. 16-Two OF the most skill
ful and dangerous counterfeiters that have
operated In this section of the West for
many q year were captured yesterday by
the local United States secret service
agent and United States Deputy Marshal
8. 8. Poe. They are John Davenport
Magner, alias John Stevens. alias Bood-
er, suspected to be fugitive murderer
from Toronto. Canada, and John W. Nc
Beth.
In Magner's possession were 5o coun-
terfeit silver dollars of excellent mintage.
For a number of days Secret Service
Agent Walker and Deputy Marshal Poe
had been watching the house to which
Magner and McBeth resorted, small
cottage which stands alone on hillside
beyond the town of Barnum. Yesterday
morning they resumed their vigil. main
tanning surveillance over the place with
the aid Of field glasses.
Shortly after noon they deserted Nc
Beth leaving the cottage, and quitting
their hiding places they followed him to
the Barnum electric car line. They
boarded the same car with him and placed
him under arrest en- route to Denver.
Magner was taken into custody in the
cottage about 3:3O o'clock In the after
noon. He practically threw up his hands
and will likely plead guilty when brought
to trial
Other arrests may be made in conse-
quence Of yesterdays raid, as the Illicit
mint where the 80 counterfeit dollars
taken from Magner were coined Is un-
doubtedly located In Denver or Its i'm
mediate vicinity.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

some of the senators Are Disposed to Find
Flaws In T..
Chicago, Jan. 18.-The Washington
correspondent of the Record writes as fol-
lows concerning the arbitration treaty:
There is no doubt that number Of
senator's would vote to reject the arbltra-
ton treaty that has just been concluded
with Great Britain IL they thought it
was safe to defy public sentiment, and 1t
may be expected that number Of "emi-
nent men," as Secretary Olney describes
popularity with the lingo element by de-
claring that the hands Of the United
States must not be tied 30 that we cannot
''llck" England the first chance we get.
The feeling between the Senate and the
secretary of state is very bitter, and per-
sonal animosity to him and to President
Cleveland will cause the senators to listen
readily to any objections or criticisms
that may be offered. II 1t should not be
ratified at this session of Congress, 1t will
be due to the resentment caused by Sec
retary Olney's extraordinary declaration
on the rights of the Senate the day after
the resolutions for the recognition OF Gu
ban Independence were reported Ii lie
and the president had kept on friendly
terms with the Senate the treaty would
undoubtedly be promptly ratified, but
now 1t Will be subjected to the closest
scrutiny. with the hope Of finding flaws
of sufficient Importance to furnish an ex-
cuse for Its rejection. Already the
critics have found several weak spots.
They say 1t is very complicated. and that
the method of determining small claims
| Is expensive and useless. The treaty
provides that the award of a tribunal
upon a claim of less than $JOO,OOO must
be unanimous, and 1t Is claimed that that
will never happen. There never was
unanimous opinion rendered by court OF
arbitration, and there probably never VIII
be- They say. too, that there Is no final
ity in the arrangements proposed Tor tine
settlement of more important questions,
which provide that the decision must be
rendered by majority of five to one.
This, they think, is impossible, and
should not be expected.
Then. again. they don't like King Os-
car They say he is afraid of both Eng
land and Russia and that the president
of the Swiss republic, who is the habitual
arbitrator in European affairs, and Is alb
>olutely independent. should have been
selected Other criticisms OF similar
sort are made. but they come from men
like Senator Morgan and Senator Chand-
ler. who could not possibly be pleased
with anything that President Cleveland
or Secretary Olney might do. Neyerthe-
less there is confidence that two-thirds OF
the Senate. which IL necessary for ralh-
cation, will be found sufficiently patriotic
and obedient to public sentiment to bury
personal anlmosities and ratify treaty
that stands as the high-wat mark OF civ.
