ARBITRATION Is PROBABLY DEAD.
Nicaragua Difhcuity May XIII It-Proceed-
ings of the senate Saturday.

Washington. Jan. 25.--Quite an impor-
tam as it's effect upon the Nicaragua
bill itself Is the influence which Rodri-
guez's communication is likely to have
upon the Anglo-American arbitra ton
treaty. Many senators believe that the
new position assumed by the Central
American powers is the result OF British
influence, and the effect is to cause
those who hold this belief TO stand aloof
from any alliance with England. Mem
bers of the committee on foreign rela-
tons freely express the opinion in pri-
vate conversation that the effect OF the
communication will be entirely against
the treaty.

election, and before received at the ONCE
OF the secretary OF state. Mr.. Bowlby at
once declared that somebody had put up
a job on the commission. 1t was the gen
orally expressed opinion or the commits
sioners. And we especially call attention
to the fact that It was concurred in by Mr..
Hedlund, that some person or persons in
York county had wilfully and maliciously.
and for the purpose OF discredltlng this
commission and the ~recanvass OF the votes.
deliberately falsihed, altered and distorted
the returns, by injecting ballots which
plainly show that they never had been
folded. as is necessary preparatory to put"
ting them into a ballot box. For this rea-
son. 1t was agreed not TO say anything
about these ballots until later, and that the
commission would so over the ballots
again to make sure that no fraudulent
votes had been counted in precincts cam
vassed prior to the discovery Of the I'M
signed ballots. The fraudulent ballots
mentioned were not counted. but were
rolled UP separately to await a more THOR
ough investigation.
Wa were of the opinion then and are
now, that the returns from York county
were tempered with for the purpose OF
giving an opportunity for a charge OF
fraud I'm our recanvass In the event the
results showed that the amendment had
been carried.
IL fraud had been perpetrated by mem
bers OF this commission other than him
self. Mr.. Hedlund undoubtedly communi-
Gated Ii 10 other conspirators against the
integrity Of these ballots. If he did so.
why have not the other eminent gentle
men who connived with him disclosed the
Information before the issuance OF the In
junction? II he knew that any irregulari'
ties were being practiced by any member
OF this commission. why did he not
call attention to 1t at the time!
Why did he enter upon the tally
sheets the votes he claims were enormously
called? Why should he walt till the con-
clusion of our work, as he says In his
letter he expected 10 do? Was he not a
party to the fraud. II one was committed.
as he alleges? No honest man. no man
with an atom Of selfrespect or any regar4
for personal integrity or manhood wouR
sit by and watch men perpetrating fraua
and OFFER no protest. He knows that the
count was fair and honestly made. He mis-
states the facts. at the behest OF his SIN
besmirched allies, when he says he de-
tected fraud.
We sincerely hope that the efforts Of Mr..
Hedlund and his consplrators to discredit
us, will not result in the object sought to
be obtained by them, viz: In preventing
the ascertaiuing Of the vote actually cast
on the amendment. We have every conf
dence that a review of our work will show
the falseness Of his charges.
If your excellency desires any further In
formation from this commission, we stand
ready to answer any and all inquiries
when relieved Of the restraint placed upon
us by an order Of the court. We are. with
great respect, very truly yours.

Consideration of the bill to establish
a normal school at Scotia occupied the
attention of the senate today. After
a debate lasting until 4:30, a motion to
indefinitely postpone the bill and all
similar bills was carried.
The senate stopped to undo what it
did Monday evening when bills ordered
to u third reading were passed with
out consideration. Senator Osborn
moved to reconsider the vote whereby
senate file al, the gamblers bill, had
slipped through the senate.
Senator Caldwell moved TO recall the
bill from the house, which was done.
The vote was reconsidered and the bill
referred to committee of the whole,
where It was killed.
On motion of Senator Talbot 1t was
decided to have the chair appoint "a

Tint In the Question Now Agitating tho
Members of the Legislature.
The bill introduced in the senate
which repeats the recent recount act
and creates another recanvassing
board to be composed of members of
the legislature, was ordered engrossed
for a third reading and will be passed
Monday IL possible. The talk about
an extra session of the legislature, to
be called for the purpose of declaring
the result Of the recanvass, and rumors
of q recess of two or three weeks so rs
TO give the recanvassing board time
to complete it's work, carries some
weight with the fusion leaders, but
many of the lawyer members are of
the opinion that the legislature ought
to remain in session until the work Is
done. They fear to adjourn because
there Is nc provision In the new bill
for a of the vote at ar ex-
ira session and they do o think 1t
advisable to take a recess, for fear that
members of the legislature will not
be exempt from actions Of h court
while the legislature Is no in session.
Governor Holcomb is said to be of the
opinion that the vote can be counted
in ten days. Saturday was the fifty
seventh day of the session and some OF
the leaders anticipate trouble in keep
ing the members in session after the
sixtieth day is past. The new bill
places no limit on the number of clerks
that may be employed by the proposed
board, and ifa large army OF assistants
is called in the count may be finished
in ten days. Some object to this kind
of q count because IL would be e~ntrust-
ed to clerks almost entirely.
