HANFoRD. Cal, Feb. 1.-Sheriff Buck
ner is positive that he has captured George
Taylor, the notorious Missouri outlaw and
murderer who escaped the hangman' s
moose for the murder Of the AIeeks family
b. f. Lane, who had known Taylor well
in Missouri, saw him on the streets of
Hanford on Saturday. He Immediately
notified Sheriff Buckner, but by that time
the man had left town, and the officers
lost track of him. Later, however, he was
located in a sheep camp l4miles southwest
Of Hanford, near Tulabe lake. The ofli-
GERS, knowing the desperate nature of the
man they were after, waited until dark
and then surrounded the camp. Taylor was
completely surprised and made no resist
ance. He was brought back to Hanford
and lodged in Jail. Taylor's sensational es-
cape from Missouri Jail several months
ago was widely published. His brother
was hanged shortly afterward for COM
plicity in the MeelSs murder.

mulgate an Amended Document.
NEW YORK Feb. 1.-The Herald this
morning says:
If the United States senate adopts the
amendments to the general arbitration
treaty proposed by the committee on for
eign relations, the convection will not be
promulgated by the present administra-
tion here nor during Lord Salisbury term
as premier Of Great Britain
These amendments arc regarded 10y ad-
ministration officials as destroying the
most essential parts of the treaty, and they
have no doubt that Great Britain will re-
fuse to accept the modified convention.
All the influence President Cleveland
and his cabinet can bring TO bear will be
exerted to induce the senate to reject the
committee amendments and ratify the
treaty ms it was drawn up by Secretary OIL
ney and sir Julian Pauncefote
The changes made by the foreign rel =
tions committee prove to be more radical
than at first given out. The whole of arti-
Gle was stricken out and a substitute in
serted still further limiting the scope OF
the treaty.
