It is rumored that a conference was held in this city on last Saturday which was participated in by Senator Jones, Chairman of the National Democratic " Committee; Senators Hill, Vilas,. Black burn and others in regard to the Sena torial contest in North Carolina. While each member of the conference expressed a great desire for the defeat of Senator Pritchanl, it was decided after mature deliberation that it was not best to have the Democrats lake an open stand in the matter, and that the better policy would be to secure the..' aid of certain Populists who were in favor of Sewall and co operation with the Democratic party in the last campaign. As a result of their deliberations, it' was decided to send Representatives' Wardell, Cannon and "otheis who favor co-operation with the Democrats in the future to Raleigh in Order to try to influence the Populist members to vote against Senator Pritchard, and to break up co-operation with Republicans in this State ami thereby secure co operation in the, future with the Democratic party, it is well understood that the National Democratic Committee have raised a Targe sum of money to be used in paying Ihe expenses of. prominent Populistic Democratic fusionists . from different States in the Union who ate 'to. swoop Idown ujum the legislature and if possi ble to capture'it by storm!

If The President Sends an Important Message to the Senate. ARBIT RATI OH OF ALL M ATTERS BETWEEN UNITED STATES , AND GREAT BRITAIN. A Practical Plan by Which Dis putes Between the Two Countries Will Reach a Peaceful Adjust ment. Washington, D.1 C, Jan. 11. The President sent the following message to the Senate this afternoon, transmitting the Anglo-American general arbitration treaty: To the Senate I transmit herewith a treaty for the arbitration of all matters in 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 scheme. j ; .. Though the result may hot meet the views of the advocates of immediate, un limited and irrevocable arbitration of aU international controversies, it is, never theless, confidently believed that 4 the treaty cannot fail to be everywhere re cognized as making a long step injtbe right direction as embodying a practical plan by which disputes between the two countries will reach a peaceful adjust ment as matter of course and in ordinary rout inn. In the initiation of such an important movement it must be expected that some of its features will assume a tentative character looking to a further advance; and yet it is apparent that thfe treaty which has been formulated not only makes war between the. parties to it a remote possibility, butf precludes those fears and rumors of war, which, of them selves, too often assume the proportions of a national disaster.' It is eminently fitting, as well as for tunate, that the attempt to accomplish, results so beneficial should be initiated by kindred peoples, speaking the same tongue and joined together by all the ties of common traditions, common in stitutions and common aspirations. ; The experiment of substituting civil ized methods for force as the means of settling international questions of right will thus he. tried under the happiest auspices. Its success ought not to be doubtful, and the fact that its ultimate ensuing benefits are hot likely to be; limited to the two countries immediately concerned, should cause it to be promoted all the more eagerly The example set, and the lesson furnished by the success ful operation of this treaty, are sure to be felt and taken to heart sooner or later by many nations, and will thus mark the beginning of a new epoch in civilization. ; Profoundly impressed as I am, there fore, by the promise of transcendent good which this treaty affords, I do not hesitate to accompany its transmission with an expression of my earnest hope that it may commend itself to the favor able consideration of the Senate.

Repre sentative Howard, of Alabama, makes the following statement in reply to the Populist committee Wardall's attack on Turn Watson; . , 'The statement that Hanna's influence is being used to. affect the Watson Black contested election case is a vicious and false report. It comes from Wardall, but it is Butler's work. 'Senator Butler betrayed the People's nartc at St. Louis, and has since that time played the role of Judas 'fccarict. "Tom Watson and those who stood by the party have been branded by him and his followers as traitors and the paid lackeys of Mark Hanna.

A SIH 111 A W FORM ENGLAND AND AMERICA. All Matters In Dispute to b Settled by Arbitration. Washington, D. G, Jan. 11. The negotiations for the treaty signed to day began nearly two years ago in the spring of 1893. shortly before the death of Secretary Grethtm, which abruptly terminated further consideration of tbe qu3Stion at the time. The sugggestion was one in which Secretary G res ham was wrapped np, and although his con- ferences with Sir Julian PauocfoVe on tbeTsubj-wt did no reach a very defi nite point the . . seeds were sown which grew rapidly under, the im petus of, the crisis in the Venezue lan dispute a year ago, when the Venezuelan Commission was fairly launched upon its investigation. Then on March 5th, 1896, when diplomatic relations between this country and ureat imtain wercf under high tension, Lord. Salisbury sent Sir Julian Pauncefote an in strnction to endeavor to renew the subject, transmitting at the same time six heads of a proposed treat j for arbitration in certain cases, the obvious efforts being to offset in part . m at least tne nrm relusal or ureat Britain to consent to the arbitra tion of the boundary question'. The pro posed schemewas to supplement diplomatic negotia tions by a judicial determination of matters of fact disputed by the two crovernments. and while no binding award was contemplated, the prr posal - was expected to provide a method of disposing of very many causes of friction which might arise between friendly nations. It provided -that each country should select two or more perma nent judicial officers, and when a government should designate one of said officers as arbitrator. Head two, directed the arbitra tors whenever they disagreed to select an Empire whose decision should be an award. Head three, was as follows: j Complaints made by the nationals of one power against the officers of the other, all pecuniary claims or groups of claims, amounting to not more than 100.000 oounds sterliucr,' made on either power by the nation als of the other, whether based on alleged right by treaty or ageement or otherwise; all claims for damages or indemnity under the said amounts; all Questions affecting diplomatic or consular privileges; all alleged rights of fishery, access, navigation or com mercial privileges; and all questions referred by special agreement be tween the two parties, shall bo re ferred to arbitration in accordance with this treaty and the award shall be final." . : VICTORY FOR SPANIARDS.
