ALL QUIET IN ST. LOUIS.
Police Believe That the Reign of
Terror In That city Has Come
IN nm End.

ST. LOUIS, June l3.--To all appearances
today witnessed the beginning of the
end OF the riotous demonstrations and
scenes of bloodshed that have character
ICED tho great street railway strike for
over month past, and In many quarters
II is thought of the strike itself The
opinions are based upon statements or
the chief OF police and sheriff that the
critical stage has been passed and upon
the fact that the st. Louis Transit Com
pany is slowly but surely approaching a
complete resumption OF business with the
aid OF the nonunion men.
The inquest over the bodies of the vic
tins of Sundays riot began today. The
testimony adduced was not of character
calculated to base q decision as to which
side was to blame for beginning hostili-
ties, the witnesses disagreeins on ma
the posse men and others placed II on
the strikers. Many contradictions have
arisen in the accounts OF Sundays trag-
edy, and these were emphasized In the
testimony taken today.
During the course Of heated argu-
ment over the strike sherman p. Patter-
Mems Union. was stabbed In the neck
and mortally wounded ~ a late hour to-
night.
Edward Caintry, OF East st. Louis, who
welded the knife. is under arrest.
The tragedy occurred In a saloon, where
both men had been drinking.
Thomas and George Ryne. victims OF Sun
days riot at Washington avenue and
Sixth street. began today. Attorney
Charles J. Maurier represented the
strikers.
At the conclusion of the afternoon ses-
sion OF the inquest Coroner Lloyd put
Gardiner Mcknight. one of the sheriff $
deputies. under arrest AS n result of the
testimony already brought out.
Late In the afternoon the inquest was
adjourned until tomorrow morning.
The various police captains held n con-
ference with Chief Campbell this after
noon and il was decided to withdraw all
the policemen and the emergency specials
from the street cars sunday morning and
return the men to their beats

NEW YORK, December INA
League magnates by midnight tonight
had left New York. Their success has
been far from tlattering. Chaos still
exists. The chances of another base
ball war are as good as on Monday
last. The olive branch has been held
out neither to the players protective
association nor Ban Johnson's Ameri-
can League. Instead, defiance has been
offered.
During the meeting the magnates
reached these conclusions:
To turn down the players protective
association fatty by refusing the play
ers a re-hearing Of their demands.
Decided upon a 140-game schedule
for next year.
Decided that the schedule should be
so arranged that the eastern clubs will
finish the season in the west next year.
Passed a resolution by which UNI
pires shall be scheduled equally among
the cities, each umpire officiating at the
same number Of games in each city.
Ratified an agreement by which no
club shall carry more than sixteen
players during the season after May
18th.
Awarded the franchises of ST. Paul,
Minneapolis and Kansas City to the
Western League.
This in a nutshell covers the work
accomplished.

tClayton-B ulwer treaty in the first
paragraph of article 2 of the treaty,
making that paragraph read as fol-
lows:
The high contracting parties, desir-
ing to preserve and maintain the Gen
eral principle Of naturalization estab-
hshed in Article VIII of the Clayton
Bulwer convention, which is hereby
superseded. adopt as the basis of such
naturalization the following rules, sub
stantially as embodied in the conven-
ton between Great Britain and certain
other powers signed at Constantinople,
October 20, 1888, for the free naviga-
ton of the Suez maritime canal"
The second of these amendments
strikes out Article of the treaty read
ing as follows:
The high contracting parties will,
immediately upon the exchange of the
notifications of this convention, bring
1t to the notice of the other powers and
invite them to adhere to it."
1t was stated that the committee had
been unanimous in its action with the
exception of Senator Money. who op-
posed any action except the absolute
and unconditional abrogation of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. That result is
accomplished by the amendment re-
ported to-day, but the Mississippi Sena-
tor would have this done through
other means than the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December IA.
Throughout nearly the entire legisla-
tive day the Senate was in secret ses-
sion, discussing the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
Aside from the reporting of the new
amendments suggested by the commit
tee on foreign relations the proceedings
OF the day consisted wholly of speech
making, the speakers being Senators
Culberson, Spooner, Lindsay, McCum-
Der and Elkins.
Mr.. Lindsay also announced his will
ingness to treat with Great Britain for
the total abrogation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty.
Senator McCumber also favored rati-
fication of the treaty without amend
ment. Senator Elkins repeated the
views expressed by him yesterday for
absolute independence in the construc-
ton of the canal and in the operations
of the United States in Central Amer
lea.
Senator Lodge reported the amend
ments agreed upon in committee.
There were two of them. The first of
these inserts the words, (Which is
