International Arbitration.
Washington, March 24.—An effort is
being made to secure co-operaition to
aid in the movement for an interna-
tional peace tribunal. Petitions are be-
ing cinculated both in this country and
Great Britain by the Women’s Inter-
national Peace League, and Mrs. M. F.
Ormsby, of this city, president of the
American branch of the league, is
forwarding the petition for signature
to women in the United States. The
petition express hearty sympathy with
men in favor o the estaiblishment
of a permanent arbitration tribunal
besween Great Brtain and the United
States.
Corbett is at present in Cincinnati
and he has been communicated with.
Cincinnati, March 24.—Mr. James J.
Corbett, when shown the proposition
from the Bollingbroke club of London
offering $12,000 for a fight between
Mitchell and Corbett, promptly said:
“Mitchell is not my man. I am after
Fitzsimmons. The eyes of the world
are upon us and we are expected to
meet. I would accept this offer if I
were after money, because I count it
easy money, but my game is Fitzsim-
mons and it will not do for me to bind
myself up with anybody else. Besides,
I have already accepted a proposition
from this club to fight Fitzsimmons
for $8000; they may amend it by mak-
ing the sum $12,000 and send the arti-
cles over and Twill sign them.”

Will Not Notice It.
Washington, March 24.— Ambassa-
ador Bayard will not receive any of-
ficial news of the censure passed on
him by the house last week unless
Secretary Olney should decide to bring
[e matter io his attemibion iwhch
members consider imprcbable. There
is no provisions contained in these
resolutions for bringing them to the
ambassador’s attenition. Communica-
tions with members of the diplomatic
service are made through the state
department, and a clause might have
been attached to the resolutions re-
quiring 'the president or secretary of
state to transmit them to the ambassa-
dor, but this was not done. It is un-
likely, therefore, that the ambassador
will make any reply to the censure of-
ficially, memibers believe, although, of
course, if he cares to do so, he can
deal with the matter in- his official
corespondence.

To Abolish the Death Penalty.
■Washington, March 24.—The house
spent most of yesterday considering
the Curtis bill to abolish the death
penalty in all cases where it is pre-
scribed in the federal statutes, sixty
in number, save in cases of rape and
murder under sections 5,339 and 5,345
of the. revised statutes,where, however,
the jury mighlt qualify the verdiot
"wliilicuut capital puniishmment." The
bill makes no change in the penalties
that can be inflicted by military and
.naval court martial.
Among the crimes now punishable
by death albolished by the bill are
murder and robbery on the high seas
accessory before the fact to murder,
piracy, etc., on the high seas; destruc-
tion of vessels at sea, piracy, arsor
of vessels of war, etc.
The bill failed to pass for want o;

Washington, March 24.—After bout
a month of discussion of the Cuban
resolutions, they were put to sleep yes-
terday for a time at least in the con-
ference committee. It has been so
long since this subject was introduced
in congress that it was with difficulty
that any one can remember how the
present resolutions got before the
senate.
The senate committee on foreign re-
lations had the resolutions which were
dealt with yesterday by the senate be-
fore the house acted at alL The com-
mittee aforesaid would not agree to
them and threw them out. The house
took them up and passed them. The
senate, not to be outdone in trying to
court the jingo class of the country,
introduced and passed resolutions more
moderate than those which the house
passed. There was a conference com-
mittee and it agreed to repont the
house resolutions which had at one
time been thrown out by the senate
committee on foreign affairs. The de-
bate has been going on in this confer-
ence report for many days, and it has
been apparent all along that the sen-
ate was weakening on the matter. The
aged gentlemen began to realize that
both houses had gone too far. First
one objection and then another was
put in to the conference reports and
yesterday it was sent back to the con-
ference committee, which looks as if
it intended to ‘bury it, or if this is not
done, to force much more conservative
set of resolutions out of the committee.
It is a clear case of weakening and
everybody here is smiling at the quick
way in which the war spirit has gone
down.
Mr. Mills has introduced a resolution
which resolves that this government
shall ask Spain to give the Cubans lo-
cal self-government, and if she will not

this to-day. He seems to have a more
warlike feeling than any of his asso-
ciates in the senate.

pear before the county court in Eon-
ham on April 6. Their bonds were
signed by 200 leading citizens of this
section, represnting more than $1,000,-
000 of property. Interest in the mat-
ter is high, though there is no excite-
ment or apprehension of further
trouble.

Brenham, Tex., March 24.—The case
of the state vs. John Rutherford, one
of the four negroes charged with the
murder of Thomas Dwyer, was called
for trial yesterday morning and the
jury impaneled. The state introduced
first a plat of the building where the
murder was committed.
At 6:30 p. m. both sides closed and
agreed to submit the case without ar-
gument and the court adjourned until
9 p. m., at which time Judge Sinks stat-
ed he would have his charge ready.
At 10:50 the jury returned the fol-
lowing verdict: “We, the jury, find
the defendant guilty of murder in the
first degree as charged in the first
count in the indictment, and assess his
punishment at death. T. J. Await,
foreman.”

New York, March 24.—A special
dispatch from New Haven, says: The
hardwiare manufacturng concern of
Sargent Co., employing $1,500 hands,
and the largest factory in the state,
has reduced hours from fifty-four to
forty-two a week, involving a weekly
reduction in wages earned of about
22 per cent. It manufactures mere
than 3,000 separate hardware articles,
which are sold all over the country.
H. B. Sargent, manager of the com-
pany, attributes the cause of reduc-
tion in the main to slack demand in
hardware goods, caused by the dis-
quietude in regard to the country’s
financial condition.
Athens, Tex., March 24.—One of the
most horrible accidents that ever oc-
curred in this county happened on the
Cotton Belt track, three miles south
of Brownsboro, Sunday night. Boone
Smith, Arthur McMillan and Tommy
Shiflet, aged 14, 12 and 10 years, were
run over and killed by one of the night
trains. How it occurred no one will
ever know. Smith and Shiflet, fathers
of Boone and Tommy, are well-to-do
farmers, who live in .the vicinity of
Brownsboro-. McMillan lives near Du-
rant, I. T.
The remains of the three boys were
picked up by the 11:30 a. m. passenger
train yesterday, carried to Brownsboro
and placed in the depot. Messrs. Smith
and Shiflet, who had gotten as far as
Malakoff in the search of the boys,
were notified and come on the north-
bound local. They were joined here by
Justice Adams, County Attorney Jones
and a number of other citizens.
; On arriving at Brownsboro the scene
was indescribable. A large crowd as-
isembled at the depot.- Among them
were the heart-broken mothers, with
the brothers and sisters of the unfor-
tunate boys, awaiting the arrival of
■the fathers. When the parents entered ■
the depot a more affecting scene was
never before witnessed in this part of
the county. Strong men wept like ba-
bies. Boone and Tommy could each
be recognized by their parents, but
their bodies were a mass of blood and
flesh. Arthur’s head has not yet been
found.
. Mr. Shiflet said that Boone Smith
and Arthur McMillan came to his house
Sunday morning to spend the day with
Tommy. About noon they missed the
boys, but thought they were about the
place. At 8 o’clock Sunday night he
and Mr. Smith started out to hunt
’them and learned they had told some
one that they had started for Corsi-
cana to see Boone’s uncle. The boys
were seen at Murchison Sunday even-
ing.
It is generally believed that they de-
cided to go back home, and being tired
after walking about fourteen miles,
they fell asleep on the track and were
.run over by the 11:30 north-bound pas-
senger train Sunday night.

London, March 24. — Ex-Consul
Waller’s solicitor wrote yester-
day morning that he has declined to ac-
cept the conditions upon which the
French government offered to release
Waller, namely, that he should waive
all claims for compensation.
“He was offered his release in No-
vember,” says the solicitor, “on con-
dition of waiving his claim for com-
pensation, but he preferred to remain
in prison. The United States ambassa-
dor, Mr. Eustis, informed him that the
United States government had author-
ized the embassy to give him security
for costs in any action against the
French government. We are seeking
an amicable settlement with France in
his behalf.”

London, March 24.—A dispatch
from Madrid says:
The Epoca 'has two articles Which
are supposed to reffect the opinion
of the cabinet and which have been
much noticed. The first challenges the
Unites States to doff its mask and dis-
play its true colors. If they want war,
the Epoca says, Spain is ready to face
it with becoming dignity.
The second article reviews Spain’s
chances for a European alliance. The
other papers have similar patriotic
articles. It is evident that the govern-
ment will refuse to allow an American
oommissiomn to go to Cuba because
such a concession on the eve of the
elections would damage Spanish pres-
tige.
