SEE MEETS A SAD, SAD FATE. Senate Retuses to Ratify the Arbitra- tration Treaty. Dies tor Want of Four Votes. | Washington, D. C., May 5.—The! Senate today by the vote of 43 to 26 refueed to ratify the general arbitra- tion treaty between the United | States and Great Britain negotiated | by Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefort. ‘The rules of the Sen ate require a majority of two thirds for the ratification of treaties. Hence four more affirmative votes would} have been required to secure a fav-| orable result. The vote was preceded by a short spirited debate, introduced by Sena- tor Mills of Texas, who made a strong appeal to the Senate against ratifying the agreement. He assert- ed that as amended the document was most objectionable, not to say contradictory, ia terms. He pointe ed out especially the provisons for the settlement of controversies in regard to territorial amendment adopted by the Senate to the first Deacon Bros, & Co, and Stoves, Steel ranges. / article of the treaty declared against it their inclusion, the eixth aud eighth articles made provision for them He held that as long as those articles remained unchanged Eng- land justly could claim that ques- tiovs of territortial mghts were still included within the scope of the treaty. Uunder such circumstances, he asked, what was to prevent Eng- land from purchasing the Island of Cuba or any other American terri tory, and in case of objection on the part of the United States insisting upon the reference of the dispute to arbitration. He spoke of the con duct of England in connection with the Greece Turkish war and implor- ed the Senate to protect the United States against the proposed alliance. The speech made a visible impres- sion and the opinion was general that the treaty should be amemend- ed so as to remedy the inconsistency explained. Senator Tillman asked that time be given for such amend ment. Owing, however, to the fact that the Senate was under agreement to vote at 4 o'clock there could be no postponement except by unani- mous consent. Senator Carter, from the first, has been one of the moat active and effec- tive opponents of the treaty. inter poeed objection. He said he would put no obstacle in the way of the postponement of the vote until an. other day, but if the vote was to be taken today he would insist upon it atthe specified time. He made a very pungent speech in opposition He said there could be no doubt of the partiality of the goverment and the people of the United States to ward the settlement of disputes by arbitration, and that for this rea- son there never would be any dif ficulty in securing an agreement for arbitration of any specific dispute with any nation, but it was not nec essary for our peoples to tie them selves in an agreement of uncertain scope and purport, especially with a country which had shown itself so completely out of sympathy with the feelings of the people of the United States in the position Eng land had taken in European affairs. Mr. Carter advised the Senate to let well enough alone. Senator Hoar replied briefly, go- ing over the general agreement in favor of the treaty, and contending especially that the objection of in- consistency in regard to territorial claims was not well founded. The remainder of the debate was of @ running character. Senators White and Pettigrew interjected questions tending to show continued opposition. Senator White remark ed that the document was full of il logical propositions, and said, furth ermore, that its syntax would have to be improved before it would be thorougly acceptable. It was evident before the ballot was completed that the motion to ratify would be beaten. The ab sence of some Senators unpaired who were considered favorable to arbitration was accepted as an unfavorable indication. The covert opposition to ratification was made very manifest after the vote was announced. Some Senators who were recorded among the yeasspoke quite openly of objectionable feat- Bree, confessing that they had cast GOOD ENOUGH SULKY PLOW, Hardware and Cutlery, Blacksmiths supplies, Iron, Steel, Nails, Wagon wood!work, Guns and ammunition, Buggies, Wagons and Fam ma- chinery, Barb wire, Salt, Buggy paints, Machine cils.

Among those who waited in the Senate corridors to receive the news was Michael Davitt, who appeared much pleasad at the result. Senator Davis, chairman of the ‘committee on foreign relations, de- clined to express an opinion for pub- lication, but talked freely with his friends.

Concessions had to be made in committee secure the voie of senator Jones of Nevada, without whose age sistance the measure could not even have been brought out of the com- mittee. Senators Allison and Aldrich have admitted from the start that without arepublichn majority they are ina bad row of stumps, and if the house republicans don’t like the bargain that has been made, they will simply have to face the situation. The impression is growing, hows ever, that no matter in what shape the tariff bill passes the senate the houre will finally have to accept it. BEST POSSIBLE. The republican senators say al- ready that they have framed the only measure they believe cao get through the upper branch of Con- gress, and if it fails to become a law, the responsibility will rest upon the House republicans. Heretofore the House has almost invariably yielded to the Senate in these matters, and it was the case even with the Mc- Kinley bill in 1890. Besides, the prominent republican senators talk in private as if they would rather have no tariff legislation this year than to permit the Dingley bill, as it passed the House, to become a law. Indigestion is often taken for con- sumption. The word consumption means wastiog away, aud dyspectics often waste away as badly as con sumptiyes. The reason people wasts away is because eith-r they dont’ get enough to eat, or they don't digest what they do eat. If the latter is your trouble, take Sbaker Digestive Cordial. This will help you to digest your food and stop your loss of flesh. Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from herbs, barks and the juices of fruit, by the well known Shakers at Mount Lebanon. It possesses great tonic and digestive powers. Shaker Digestive Cordial has cur ed many supposed consumptives (who were really dyspetics,) by sim ply helping their stomachs to digest their food, thus giving them nour- ishment and new strength.

Key West, Fla, May 7.—An up rising on tha Jsle of Pines, a penal settlement south of Cuba, 1s report- ed Twenty five Cuban prisonere, headed by Jose Gonzales, madea rush fcr their guards, took their arms and made a dash for the coast They were pursued with blood hounds and troops. Five got away in a small boat,landing in the South- western part of Havana province, while twenty others were shot down, having besn caught by the blood- hounds in the fcrests bordering the shore. Atrocious maltreatment of the prisoners caused the revolt. One of the favorite mcdas of punishment in the Isle of Pines is to place a man underneath a cistern of water and let a thin stream fall on his nak ed back. In a few hours the tor- ture is vnbzarable, and the victim shriexs and yells for relacse, while the Spanish jailore sit around smok ing cigarettes and emilling at his misery.
