RECEIVED \ SEVERE CHECK
Cause of Arbitration Hurt by Se-
 nor Quesada's Decision
AGAINST THE AMERICANS
Who Claimed Damages Against Mexican Author ities-The Arbitrator Overlooked Law and
 Decided According to Sympathy.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The cause of arbi- tration in the settlement of claims be- tween nations has received a severe check in the award by the arbitrator in the case of Oberlander and Messenger. who claimed 1000 and $25,OOO respectively, for i'll treat ment by the Mexican authorities. The ar bitrator was the Argentine minister at Madrid, Senor Quesada, and his decision was in favor of the Mexican government and against the American claimants.
 The discouraging feature of the decision is that in making the decision the arbi- trator apparently overlooked every point of law according to the English standards, and decided the case with reference to his sympathies
 -Oberlander was a-deputy sheriff in Cali fornia and he was kidnapped and taken across the border by Mexican officers. Mr. Messenger, in whose house he had taken refuge, was i'll treated. The arbitrator, it is said, ignored the facts and reasoned that because the United States government had not recognized the rights of the Chinese government to indemnity for the killing of Chinese at Rock Springs, Wyo., while insisting upon indemnity for losses sus- tained by American missionaries in China, we could not expect to have an indemnity awarded our citizens in such cases as 9lis.

 Representative Griinth Talks
 After the legislature was organized MT. Grlfnth had another night of conferences on both sides of the senatorial case and this morning he gave the Hanna men written pledge over his name that he would vote for the senator. Later in the day he was seen by the opponents of Senator Han- ma and tonight he gave out the following as his latest proclamation on his position:
 To the public:
 It is due to the public and to myself that make statement of my position on the senatorial matter. While it is true that the convention which nominated me issued resolution requesting me to support Sena- tor Hanna, and while I at various times during the campaign and since declared my intention to follow that request, and even promised dozen or more of my con stituents in MT. Hanna's headquarters on Monday of this week that I would do so. I have, however, since learning the partic- ulars of the indignities heaped upon my wife Monday morning. reached the conclu- sion that I would be untrue to manhood should I cast my vote for a man who either uses or employs such methods, and shall resent the indignities and insults heaped upon myself and friends, and also do service for my state and country by voting for a republican other than MT. Hanna for United States senator. Notwith- standing the threats that have been made to me that cannot return and live in Union county if I do not vote for Hanna it was my hope that the good people who have honored me with their confidence ana whom I love and honor will uphold me in this determination that cannot under any circumstances now be changed"
 It was charged that the senator had Mrs. Griffith annoyed by his emissaries and that the senator was with her two hours before her husband announced himself as for Han- na.
 When "a copy of the statement purport- ing to come from Representative Grifhtn was hown to Senator Hanan this evening he said:
 q do not believe Mr. Griffith ever made this statement, because 1t is not true. It Is represented to me that he is an honora- ble man, and therefore I shall not believe without some further evidence that he ever made or authorized any such statement"
 It is known that the document is in Grifhth's handwriting whether he pre- pared it himself or not.

WITHOUT INCIDENT.
Organization of the Two Houses of Kentucky
 Legislature Effected.

Frankofrt, Ky, Jan. 1.-The converting and organization of the two legislative houses today were without incident of note. A failure to complete the organization of the lower branch precluded even the be- ginning of business. The governor also failed to transmit his message, which came out later in the afternoon papers. The biggest fight among the democratic ma jority of the house, the caucus of which was not concluded till tonight was over the determination of majority to limit the candidates for one of the minor places to negro democrats. Some of the members fought this measure to a finish, but the negroes won and were given the place.
