The Arbitration Treaty.

1 The President has transmitted To the
between Secretary olney on the part of
| the United States. and Sir Julian
Paunceforte on the part of the British
government. Among other things the
President says: 81 transmit herewith
| a treaty for the arbitration of all matters
| of difference between the United States
/ and Great Britain.
The provisions of the treaty are the
result of long and patient deliberation,
and represent concessions made by each
party, for the sake of agreement upon the
general scheme.
Though the result reached may not
meet the views of the advocates of imme-
diate. unlimited and irrevocable arbitra-
tion of all international controversies, it
is, nevertheless, confidently believed
that the treaty can not fail To be every
where recognized as making a long step
in the right direction, and as embody ing
a practical working plan by which dis
putes between the two countries will
reach a peaceful adjustment as matter
of course and in ordinary routine.
The experiment of substituting civil
lied methods for brute force rs the means
of settling international questions of right
will thus be tried under the happiest au-
spices. Its success ought not TO be doubt
full, and the fact that its ultimate ensuing
benefits are not likely to be limited to
the Countries Immediately concerned
should cause it to be promoted all the
more eagerly. The example set and the
lesson furnished by the successful opera
ton of this treaty are sure to be felt and
taken to heart sooner or later by other
nations and will thus mark the begin
ming of a new epoch in civilization"
Following are the terms of the treaty
as published:
First-A term of five years from the
date of the exchange of ratifications with
in which the treaty shall be operative.
Second-A court of arbitration of six
members, three to be drawn from the
judiciary of the United States and three
from the judiciary of Great Britain.
Third-The submission to this tribunal
of all differences between the two nations
now pending or to arise within the pc
| riod of five years. This not to include
the Behring sea question or the VeneZue-
Ian question now before the independ =
ent commissions, but to include the ques-
tion of the boundary between Alaska and
North America.

1t isn't safe to speak about the day
of resurrection to the negroes around
St. Nicholas, a small Florida town near
Jacksonville, just at present They
haven't yet gotten over little incident
which happened few days ago. A
campmeeting was in progress among
the colored people, and during one Of
the recent night sessions while the
speaker was preaching of the coming
of the Angel Gabriel and exhorting all
to reform and prepare for the last day,
a great streak Of pure white light was
noticed against the dark sky, apparent
ly reaching far into the heavens. Tho
negroes were terribly frightened at the
sight, believing that the light was the
path by which Gabriel was about to de-
scend and blow the last trump. All
fell PROSTATE and began confessing
their sins and praying, but the demon
STATIONS ceased suddenly when some
white persons present told them the
light was nothing but searchlight on
board United States cruiser in the
ocean nearby, which subsequently
proved to be the case.

CREAMERY BUTTER IS UP.
Belle Springs Pays the Same as for
August, 1895.

The Dickinson county creameries
paid today for milk delivered in Aug
ust. The Belle Springs company
paid IA cents a pound for butterfat,
which is u cents more than was paid
for the preceding months butterfat.
The shortage of the supply in the clos
ing days Of the month by reason of
drouth caused better prices, but this
did not affect values so much as it is
expected to do on September butter.
The Kansas Creamery company also
paid IA cents this month. The Belle
Springs tests averaged 1896 as COM
pared with 1874 for the corresponding
month Of last year, also an effect Of
the dry weather. In August, 1895,
the price was IS cents; but this year
the creameries think they are doing
well to keep up with last years prices.
The Elgin prices on which creamery
butter figures are based, for the first
week in September are slightly better
than last year. In 1894 they were "a
to 24I cents: in 1895, p cents; in
1896, Is to l6 cents; in 1897, l6l to
II cents.
In spite of the greatly increased
output by reason Of the new cream
cries started all over the west. it is
believed that the Improvement in bus
mess will bring better prices. Men
at work will use more and better but
ter than those idle. So the creamery
patrons will share in the Republican
prosperity.
