The rejection of the arbitration treaty by the I'uited States Senate, Wednesday, did not occa-ion much surprise to those who had lieen watch ing the matter for the past several weeks. P.-uIi lVnnsvlvania Senators voted against the measure. Thomas Kvixs, president judge of Common Picas Court No. 2, died at hi home iu Ailcght-ny, fcunuay evening.

The tariff bill is to lie reported to the Senate on May IS. Now, if that liody 'shows a decent regard for the popular will and the necessities of trade, it will pass the bill by the K-giuning of July at the latest. A little activity in thi direction by the Senate at the present time would rescue that ehamlier from some of the disrepute into which it has fallen. Some papers are saying that the prompt passage of the tarill" bill in the Senate would stop gold exportation. I. iKloubteUly it would. As the lull is not likely to reach the President liefore the beginning of July at the earliest, however, relief can not be looked for from that source. The gold outflow is likely to cease liefore the Dingley bill gets on the statute look. When General Wcyler arrived at Santa Clara, a few weeks ago, the may or went to him and told him that the children of the pacifieos were dying at the rate of twenty a day. ''Is that all?" replied the butcher. "I thought there were more." These deaths, it may be explained, were due to his or der crowding these poor people into towns and letting them starve to death or die from exposure. The comment of the Knglish papers on the rejection of the arbitration trea ty is bitter, but there are gleams of good common sense, and this from the West minster -Gaaette, one of the ablest of the London papers, is conspicuous: "Iu stead of venting wrath upon the sena tors, it would seem more profitable to ak whether the Kuropean statesmen have not for several months lieen fur nishing the Ix-st groumls for beliefth.it arbitration is useless or premature." Following on the heels of the Pennsylvania revelations come accusa tions of brutal tr.ui.iu-ut of couvicts iu Kentucky. While sme of these charges may lie inspired by malice, they are heedming far too frequent,and the fact that our present prison system leaves great opportunity for abuse gives them a weight impossible to dis regard by .those interested in an im proved penology. l::f rtuuately,pow er over others is corrupting iu its ten dency, and must be surrounded by ev ery safeguard to protect those under it sway.

The same old story which free trad ers have been accustomed to assert that their tariff law was more productive of customs revenue than the McKinley law is being revived now that the tarilf discussion is aliout to reojteu in the senate. They are encouraged in trot ting out this ancient and amusing fic tion by the fact that the customs re ceipta for March and April were alt normally large, because of the enor mous importation of foreign foods in anticipation of the new tariff. The absolute unreliability of the statetu nts. however, is proved by the following figures, which cover the entire lu.o ry of the Wilson law from lieginnitij to date, and compare the culo-ii re ceipts during that time with the cor responding number of months of the McKinley law : Customs receipts first 5- months of Wilson law, HJ,121,1sj.

Antho- nv Mustoe and Christopher Taiune were arrest d yesterday for arson and attempt cd murder, and a plot on the part of the preacher to murder his son, C. B. Mustoe and family, was uneartheL The infor mr.tiou was furnished by two men named ;raut Runner ami Josiah Cross, who al leged that they, in company with Tausig, were employed by Mustoe to burn the barn and residence of the minister's son and murder the family, in consideration of?nm, of ; Inch fiml was to be paid for tiring the larn and S-SW for burning the house and killing the family. The barn was burned last Saturday night, four horses, together with harness, wagons, grain, etc, being consumed. Tausig confessed that Mustoe made the contract with him, and that after firing the lmrn he attempted to burn th9 buns but was deterred by vicious dogs. Tau sig then said he unfolded a plan to the minister to poison the dogs and also put strychnine iu the meat in the smoke house and in the well, and that after the poison had taken effect he would destroy the residence, hiding all traces of the crime. Renting of a Church Building Legislature Criticised. to a Scraxtox, Pa, May 8. The proceed ings of the Pennsylvania Conference of the Primitive Methodist Church were enlivened to-day over a report that the church at Niles, Ohio, was used for school purpose -i. Bus ing th? delate for and against such use of tho church, Robert Pudley, a for mer memler of the stnte legislature, and the president of the conference, declared, with emphasis, that such action was no worse than that of the Or.ro Methodist Episcopal Church, of Harrisburg, iu renting itself "to a profane legislature, where men called each other liars, and did other similar acta." The ministers applauded his remarks. An effort was then made to have Mr. Budley's remarks suppressed in the news reports, but be reiterated his statement, and it was voted to permit school sessions in the Niles church. Sacrificed Hi Soa. Ei.nA, Fla., May lu. Rev. Oscar Wil liams, colored, declared to a neighbor that the Bord recently appeared to him in a vision and commanded him to sacri fice his son. The neighbor followed the preacher to a thicket, and found him standing over his son's body, which v a-j strapped to a log. He had a bloody knife in his hands and his eyes were raised heavenward. Blood flowed from the boy's gaping throat, which had lieen severed from ear to ear. When asked why he had done the deed the maniac declared that the Lord had commanded him to do so, and then turned and walk ed away, the neighbor being too dazed to slop him. The local constable heard of the crime and has gone after Williams. Awful Firs at Sea. New York, May 9. The Mallory line steamer Leona, which left her pier on Saturday bound for Galveston, took fire at sea, put back and arrived in port to uight with 16 corpses oil board. The dead were 15 steerage passengers and three members of the crew, who suc cumed to a terrible fire which occared off the I Delaware capes at an early hour this morning. Those who are dead were penned up below decks and, although frantic efforts were made by tho officers of the vessel to save them, the fire bad gained such terrific headway before the danger was discovered that all was cut off. Bed Cload Befors the Senators. Red Cloud, the once powerful and fa mous chier of the Sioux nation, present ed a pathetic and pitiful spectacle in the room of the senate committee on Indian affairs on Saturday afternoon. Red Cloud came to Washington accompanied by Auicrin Horse, his principal lieutenant for the purpose of calling tho attention of congress to certain grievances. Rev. lr, Eastman, a wel! educated half-breed. came along as interpreter, and did his work very welL He is a fine-looking, intelligent fellow, and is opular with the Sioux tribes. Senator Pettierow. chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, interroga te.! the old chief, and a stenographer took a complete report of the coiiversa- tion as interpreted by Br. Eastman. Bud Cloud said : "I am nearly 77 years old, and am very feeble, and almust blind. You see I wear black goggles to shield my fading eyes from the light, which hurts them. Al though I am old and feeble, I have come all this distance to plead for justice to my people. In KM I made a treaty at Fort Laramie, and gave the white men a righ to build a railroad across my country never gave up any rights to property, beyond tho use of ground for the rail road. We want tho lands left as they are. We want decent food to eat. We are en titled to good clothing, or money iu its place. We waut a law preventing half- breeds from acquiring tribal rights on our reservation. White men come there to marry our young squaws and then claim tribal rights of property, and cheat us out of our best grazing lands. If we should kill them for coming among us unbidden, the army would punish us for protecting ourselves. Therefore I come to ask that the government will treat my people right and protect us from the bad white men." Senator Pettigrew shook hands with the old man aud assured him that in the pending Indian appropriation bill he will make provision to protect the Indians, along the lines requested by the old war chief. . In his stalwart days Red Cloud was a mighty warrior and a murderous savage. Nevertheless, it is pitiful to see him now, shambling along, led by others, and coming to Washington to make an honest and heroic effort to secure for his people the rights which ought to be spontaneous ly conceded by the government. His days of savagery are gone, and ho is now an man, wise, and attempting, iu his untutored way, to do right and to induce the intelligent, civilized white men to also do that which is right. "Greater Kew York" How the Second City in the World. The Greater New York is at last an ac complished fact. Governor Black has signed the charter. While this law does not technically go into effect until Jan uary I, lsiis, yet to all intents ami pur poses consolidation liegins with the sign ingof the charter. The election of the Mayor of the greater city will take place in Noveinlicr, and from now on the cam paign for this Mayorality will be conduc ted with an intensity and aggressiveness that has never attended any other niun cipal election iu this state, perhaps the whole country. Hereafter when the city of New York is referred to it will mean that territory of 3."iO square miles, con tabling a population of over 3,u,HHI peo ple, which is comprised in the Greater New York bill. When reference is made to that part of this city which comprised the main part of the hue city of New York the term Manhattan will be used, The 1'. rons will be the name of that terri tory in the new city aliove the Harlem river. Brooklyn will le the name of the Imrough which, until Governor Black signed the charter, was a city. Queens will be the name of that part of the city on Long Island outside of Brooklyn and Richmond wil! be the official designation of Staten Island. Tho Mayor holds office for four years and receives salary of Sl.l.mm per year. He appoints all heads of departments ex cept the Comptroller, and will be at the head of an army of employes. He will direct the expenditure of ?!, oni.ooo f the public money anuually, in every respect his authority and per sonal resKnsibility will be greater than that of the President of the United States, The population of the new city, based on the latest estimates, will be 3, 4)9,00(1, which will make it rank second among the big cities of the world. The most distinguishing feature of the new city will be tho capacity forS-V) miles of wharfage, which is greater than that of any other. Held np Ex-Justice Eeydrick. Franklin, Pa., May l As ex-Sn preme Conrt Justice Cristopher Hey drick, of this city, wits returning to his ho'ne last night at 10 o'clock ho was held up by two men within a few rods of his home. The men presented revolvers and endeavored to frighten the eminent jurist into giving up his valuables. He. re fused, licgan calling for assistance, aud frightened the footpads, who started to run. The Judge followed, and had only gone a few steps when the men fired at him twice but missed. They had hardly run a sqnare when they were met by John E. Gill, general manager of the Galena Oil Works, and R. A. Bigley. They tried to stop the fugitive, but were fired upon, the bullets barely missing Gill and Big ley. A general chase then ensued, in which about two hundred persons joined with two policemen, mo latter keeping up a running lire upon the footpads, but the fugitives escaped to the woods. Greece Saes For, Fcace. Athkxs May 9. The correspondent of the Ass-v-iated Press learns on tho very best authority that Greece hn made a written application tothe piwers through their representatives at Athens with a view of obtaining mediation. All tho representatives have promised in their re plies to use their best oilb-es, except the German minister, who has merely ac knowledged the receipt of the note. The Port is inclined to support the powers with a view to the facilitation of negotia tions, but it declines to consent to an armistice, on the ground that this would enable Greoce ti reorganize her forces. As a matter of fact Turkey continues to send troops from Salonica homeward, aud it is probaole that Osman Pasha has re turned to Constantinople fro:n Salonica. In view of loth facts it mny be. assumed that nothing serious is exectel, but tho continuance of a state of war is regarded as the very Insst means of hastening the e:forLs of diplomacy.

The 1Hk1 bill which passed the house Wednesday and was sent to tho senate is as follows: - Section 1 Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the com monwealth of PennsyU-ania, in general assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same that in all criminal prosecutions of indictments for liliel the truth may be given in evidence to the jury, and if it shall appear that the matter charged as libelous is substantial ly true, and was published with good motives and justifiable ends, the defend ant shall be acquitted, the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the facts. Section 2 In no case can the defendant, in any prosecution for libel, be indicted for the printing or publication of the same libel upon the same individual in more than one county of this state. Section 3 All laws or parts of laws in consistent with this act are hereby re pealed. These bills wero defeated: Fixing the width of public roads at thirty-two feet; providing for the publication of the cata logue of the State Library ami providing for the payment of school diretors while in attendance upon tho convention for the election of a county superintendent of schools and providing a penally of $5 for non-altendauce. ' Representative Heagy's bill making it a misdemeanor for superintendents or any one in charge of an asylum or hospital ffor the insane to refuse the attorney, phy sician or relative of any inmate permis sion to visit him or her while confined therein within certain hours daily, pass ed finally. Governor Hastings has approved the resolution creating a woinau's auxiliary to represesent the State at the Nashville Exposition, aud the resolution asking him to declare May 1'ith as a public holi day. He has also signed the following bills: Extending power of Common Pleas Judges to appoint elections officers to till vacancis; prohibiting and punish ing persons representing themselves to Is? detectives; authorizing Couuty Com missioners to appoint successors when Assessors neglect or refuse to qualify or to receive books; increasing pay of second-term National Guardsmen, and au thorizing the continuation of publication of the Pennsylvania archives. The Byon Classification bill, including what is known as the "Ripper," passed second reading in the House last Thurs day. The yea and nay vote ou the first section, which provides for the change of Pittsburg from a second to a first-class city, was bM) to 78 iu its favor. Without a call of the House, it is im possible to gauge the feeling toward tho Ripper, but the impression prevails that this section will have to boeliinlnatod lie fore the measureem be passe 1 finally. The final -ote will be Liken in two weeks. Should tho bill go through Gov ernor Hastings will apixiinl too next Mayor of Pitttburg. At a special session of the Seuate Thursday afternoon the Finance Commit tee made a special report on tho House bill providing for a tax ou direct inherit ance. This point was mysteriously made and nobody was given an opportu nity to see it, the excuse being given that it was iu the bauds of the printer. So many amendments have been made to the bill that it is practically a new measure. Tho main effect of Ihe alterations and additions is to double the tax on foreign insurance companies doing business in this Suite. There is talk now of final adjournment of the legislature on the M:h of June. It may be a few days earlier or later, but this may be counted on as the approxi mate date for the dissolution of tho law making branch of the State Government.

Cuder the aus pices of the Tennessee Centennial Expo sition company, an airship mounted a half a milo into the air yesterday s.nd sailed away into space. True, it sailed but 12 miles, owing to the breaking 1 a blade of tbo propeller, but it sailed all right, going in a direction diagonal to that in which the wind was blowing. That the airship was thoroughly under the control of its inventor was shown by the fact that after reaching a height of .TnO feet, he described a complete circle and then sailed away tothe west, the direc tion in which he had declare 1 his inten tion of going.. The airship was manipulated by Prof. A. W. Barnard, who is physical director of the Young Men's Christian associa i n of this city, under the auspices of the ex position company.

The airship mounted a half mile n the air, turned a complete circle at the will of the professor, aud finally moved in a westerly direction at the rate of 15 miles an hour.
