Senate Kills the Arbitration Treaty

The final consideration in the United
States senate of the arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain, and refusal of that body TO
ratify the treaty. by vote of 43 to &c,
was marked by a spirited debate in.
troduced by Senator Mills, of Texas,
who made a strong appeal against rati-
flying the agreement. He asserted
that as amended the document was
most Objectionable, not to say contra
dictory, in term, and that under it
England justly could claim that ques-
tons of territorial rights were still in-
cluded within the scope of the treaty.
Under such circumstances, he asked,
what was TO prevent England from
purchasing the island of Cuba or any
other American territory, and in case
of objection on the part of the United
States insisting upon the reference of
the dispute to arbitration. He spoke
of the conduct of England in connec-
ton with the Graeco-TurlSish wac and
implored the Senate to protect the
United States against the proposed al
lance. The speech made visible inn
preston and the opinion was general
that the treaty should be amended so
as to remedy the Inconsistencies,
but this required unanimous consent
and Senator Carter objected. The lat
ter said that there could be no doubt
of the Partially of the government,
and the people of the United States
towards the settlement of disputes by
arbitration. and that for this reason
there never would be any difficulty in
securing an agreement for arbitration
of any specific dispute with any nation,
but it was not necessary for our people
to tie themselves in an agreement of
uncertain scope and purport, especially
with a country which has shown itself
so completely out of sympathy with
the feelings of the people of the United
States in the position England had
taken in European affairs.
After the ballot Senator Davis, chair.
man of the committee on foreign rcla,
tions, attributed the defeat of the treaty
to the feeling of dissatisfaction at Eng
lands course i'm the struggle of the
Greeks TO liberate the island of Crete
from ottoman dictation and the Arme-
nian massacrcs, and with the evident
designs of Great Britain upon the
Trapsvaal.

GREEKS ROUTED.
RETREAT FROM PHARSALA TO
DOKOMOS.
velestino, but Superior Numbers
Compel a Retreat to Dokomos-
Powers VIII Now Intervene.

The Greek armies at Pharsala and
Velestino under Crown Prince Con-
stantine and Gen. Smolenslxi, respec-
lively, were attacked by the Turkish
forces under Edhem Pasha and a ter
rible battle resulted. At the close of
the first days fight. Crown Prince
Constantine telegraphed: with Gods
help our side has conquered. The
Turks attacked our advance posts at 9
o'clock. Their movements indicated
an intention to cut off our left wing,
and later they attacked our front.
Our advance posts reiterated, as they
were fighting against very superior
numbers, and took up a position in
front of our right wing. An artillery
duel ensued along the extensive line.
The enemy's infantry advanced in per-
feet order at three points and in large
numbers, but they were speedily
checked by our infantry We main
tain all our positions intact the Turks
being completely repulsed, and
the engagement will certainly he con-
tinued tomorrow.
Other dispatches say: The fighting
was the most desperate, and the losses
on both sides were heavy, there being
1000 Greeks and 5000 Turks slain.
But the close of the day showed the SUI
perior numbers OF the Turks had en-
abled them to partially out6ank the
Greeks, and Crown Prince Constantine
therefore decided to make virtue of
necessity and gave orders for the evac-
uation of Pharsala and retreat to
Dokomos
1t was not stampede, but an or
DERBY and well executed military move
ment, which began as soon as darkness
settled down, and was continued until
the last man, all the arms, artillery
and ammunition had left the place.
Before the first gray streaks of dawn
showed in the east the Greeks had be-
gun the preparations to defend the
heights of Domokos Incessant Skin
mishing had been kept up by the out
lying forces 10 mask the retreat, but
as soon as the Turks discovered the
situation they took possession of Phar-
sala without opposition.
The railroad between Velestino and
Pharsala was cut by the Turks, thus
shutting off communication between
the Greek armies, cutting off the base
of supplies for Velestino. which forced
Gen. Smolenski TO commence a retreat
from that point to Armyros.
The powers have decided TO inter
vepe. and the ministers of Great Brit
ain, France, Russia, Germany, Austria
and Italy will hand a collective note to
both the Greek aud Turkish govern
ments calling upon them to cease hos
tilities on the distinct assurance that
the powers will undertake the final
solution of pending difficulties.

FIGHTING BEGUN.

A dispatch from Canea, Island Of
Crete, says; The Christians occupied
the heights surrounding the town yes
terday morning, and began to lombard
Canea. AS soon as the firing CON-
menced, Prince Georgi Berovitch, gov
ernor of Crete, with thirty recently-en-
rolled Montenegrian gendarmes board
ed the Russian man-of-war. The Greek
consul also embarked on board another
vessel. The Turks from the fortress
replied to the fire of the Christians 1t
is reported that the fighting was attend
ed with bloodshed. The military gov
ernor has been removed from his post.
The foreign consuls also embarked on
board the various vessels lying off the
town of Canea. The Greek consul at
Heraklion went on board the Greek
warship Nauarchos Miaulis. The
Christians at Heraklion are also hurry
ing on board the ships. Fighting occur
red around Halepa Saturday. After o
brisk fusilade the Turks dislodged the
Christians, and occupied Akrotiri Hills.
The French consul was obliged to quit
his country home at Haleps, and return
to his official residence at Canea. The
foreign vessels were not involved in the
fighting.
A dispatch to the London Times from
Canea, dated last night, says that the
resignation of Prince Georgi Berovitch,
Governor of Crete, has already been &C.
copied, and he departed yesterday
