The following special despatches to the Heratp have been received from our corre- spondent serving at the seat of the Alabama claims arbitration court in Geneva, Switzer- land:— Geneva, June 15, 1872. The members of the international tribunal commissioned. to arbitrate the case of the Ala- bama claims case between the governments of the United States and Great Britain assem- bled at the Hotel de Ville in this city to-day at the hour of twelve o’clock, noon. FORMAL ORGANIZATION AND THE FIRST SESSION. The Commission was organized in a formal, official mamer, after which the members of the Court sat in consultation during a period of thirty minutes, and adjourned until Mon- day, the 17th instant. THE MEMBERS OF THE COURT. There were present at the meeting :—His Excellency Count Sclopis, representative of His Majesty King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, President of the Court of Arbitration. Right Hon. Sir Alexander James Ed- mund Cockburn, Lord Chief Justice of Eng- land, representing Her Majesty Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Hon. Charles Francis Adams, representa- tive ‘and arbitrator, acting on behalf of His Excellency the President and the people of the United States. The citizen Jacob Staempfli, representative of the government of the republic of Switzer- land and the people of the Swiss Confedera- tion. His Excellency Baron d'Itajuba, serving on behalf of His Majesty Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil. The Secretary, M. Favrol. COUNSEL FOR THE NATIONS, The counsel acting on behalf of the arbi- trating governments, England and the United States, were present in court. The case of the crown of Great Britain was watched by Sir Roundell Palmer and Lord Tenterden, with four secretaries on duty. The cause of the people and Executive of the United States was in charge of Messrs. Caleb Cushing, William M. Evarts, R. Waite, Ban- croft Davis and Charles C. Beaman, Jr., attended by writers of minutes and note takers, so that the American party of Commis- rion numbered eighteen persons. THE COUNCIL ROOM. The place of meeting was in the congress hall of the Hotel de Ville, Itis an ordinary drawing room, with seats arranged in a semi- circle, and furnished with stationary desks. The windows look out on a neat little garden, located in the very centre of the an- cient city of Geneva. The room is elegantly decorated with upholstery in red, black, golden color and pure white. The desks are covered with green cloth, and all the surroundings ap- pear brilliantly fine in the light of the sun of a splendid June day. THE ANTEROOM AND ITS NAME OF OMEN. The anteroom, through which the commis- sioners and secretaries entered the hall of congress, is called the Marriage Chamber, and NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY. JUNE 16, 1872.—TRIPLE @ designation is accepted as, and alloged to be, significant of the approach of a moment of happy union between two great nations— Great Britain and the United States of America. THE LOBBY AND THE LIGHT OF THE PRESS. Outside of the anteroom is a lobby, in which, near the hour of twelve o'clock, noon, to-day, were assembled twenty correspondents of the press, special from different countries in the Old World and the New. 4 MOUNTAIN-BRED TILER OF THE SCHOOL OF TELL. i The door of the ante-room was guarded bya Swiss Cerberus, bristling in a go-to-fair cloak, and resplendent in scarlet and yellow. ENTRY OF THE MAGNATES AND PHOTOGRAPHS AS THEY Pass. Promptly, a few minutes before the hour of twelve o'clock, His Excellency Count Sclopis, President of the Tribunal, entered the room. The representative of the majesty and justice of the kingdom of Italy is a stout man, of large size. He has a round-shaped face and a frank expression of countenance. His head is bald of hair. He is a little taller in height than Favrot, the Secretary, who is a moderate- sized man, presenting an acute, sharp-looking face. The Swiss citizen Jacob Staempfii is a short, stout-built man, with a fine-looking face, which has been made quite brown in color by ex- posure to the climate of his native mountains, His manner of address is hesitating. Just five minutes later than Staempfli, after rushing hastily from the railway train, came in Messrs. Cushing, Evarts, Waite and Beaman, for America, and in a few minutes after the Right Hon. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, for the Queen of, Great Britain and his fellow subjects in England. The venerable successor to the seat of Chief Justice Gascoigne—who was suf- ficiently independent to sentence a Prince heir apparent of the throne to prison for insult—is @ short-sized old man, with a long-shaped visage and red face. Sir Roundell Palmer is a tall man, a blonde, wearing an amiable expression of countenance. His Excellency Baron Itaguba is a short- sized person, with a stooping gait of carriage, and very strongly marked features of coun- tenance. Mr. Bancroft Davis appeared very solemn, and remained perfectly silent. PLENTY OF MATERIAL IN TONS WEIGHT OF BRIEFS. At the head of this venerable and august body, marching in procession, were a force of porters carrying tons weight of printed briefs of the national cases, with other papers to be used during the progress of the deliberations. Summaries of the proofs and arguments in support of the cases of England and the United States were transmitted to the arbitrators by the respective agents of the two countries, Lord Tenterden and Mr. Bancroft Davis. A CHEERING SOUND AND APPREHENSION OF AN AMERICAN JOKE. The first sound which was heard from the congress hall was the reecho of a hearty laugh, produced most probably by the utter- ance of a joke by Evarts at the very first sub- ject brought before the tribunal. SECRECY. Further than the contents of the special despatch to the Hznaxp, the proceedings of the tribunal are kept absolutely secret. ADJOURNMENT. The Court adjourned soon after its organ- ization to Monday next at two o'clock in the afternoon. THE LATEST NEWS. Present Exclusion of the Newspaper Press from the Council Room—Lord Tenterden and His Portmanteau of Documents— The American Case Submitted, but the English Case Wanting—Consultation of the Britishers and a Queen’s Messenger for London—A Perilous Experiment. Geneva, June 15—Evening. The question of the propriety of admitting the representatives of the newspaper press to the Council Room of Arbitration on the Ala- bama claims was brought before the members of the Court for consideration by the formal application of the correspond- ent of the New York Henaup and of Mr. Lesage, of the London Telegraph, for entry to the room. After the lapse of a little time, which was evidently occupied in discussion of the demand, Secretary Favrot sent out a mess senger charged with the duty of formally com- municating to the representatives of the press, on behalf of the Court, that the arbitrators had come to the decision ‘not to admit reporters at the present session; but that probably they may reconsider the decision at afuture day.”’ Doubtless this response was intended in a diplomatic Pickwickian sense. LORD TENTERDEN’S PORTMANTEAU. Immediately after Mr. Adams arrived Lord Tenterden and the English secretaries came, the latter gentlemen bearing a few documenta, enclosed in a small portmanteau, exhibiting in this respect a remarkable contrast in the bulk of the papers brought by the English in com- parison with those which were carried on the other side. THE FINAL PAPERS OF AMERICA. ‘The American agent, in accordance with the provision of the Treaty of Washington, laid before the tribunal the final papers and argu- ments of the United States in the case. ENGLAND'S ARGUMENT WANTING, The English argument was not presented, but, instead of submitting the proper papers, the English agent stated that he was unable to go on with his case without further conference with the Qabinet in London, and the SHEET. receipt of final definite instructions from the Queen’s Ministry as to his course of action. He, therefore, requested sufficient delay for purposes of communication with St. James’. As the conference of to-day is regarded as preliminary to the more serious work of the arbitration, the matter of this delay was granted him without difficulty, and the grand issue thus deferred for the next session of the Court, CONSIDERATION AS TO THE RESULT. The meeting of the Court is of a very un- certain character, and, now that the arbitra- tors have assembled, it is impossible to know what may be the result of the conference, it being remarked by a member of the Court that ‘dt is a perilous experiment, no such vast affairs having ever been submitted to arbitra- tion hitherto.”’ A SPECIAL MESSENGER FOR LONDON. The result of the conversation which was had after the delivery of the English applica- tion was that the British Commissioners deemed it necessary to communicate by writ- ten despatch with their government. It was, therefore, agreed that the meeting be adjourned. ENGLISH DELIBERATION AND OFF FOR LONDON. It was now the hour of one o'clock in the afternoon, and, as the Queen's messenger was compelled to leave by the afternoon express train, Lord Tenterden, with the English Com- missioners, was busily engaged in stating the different points on which Earl Granville’s guidance was requested. The English messenger took his departure by express. He will arrive in Paris at seven o'clock on Sunday morning and reach London the same night. He will convey the papers placed in his charge to Court immediately, and the answer is expected in Geneva on Mon- day in the morning. The hour of the reassemblage of the Court being fixed at two o’clock in the afternoon in- stead of twelve o’clock noon on Monday, will afford time for the arrival by telegraph of the news of the disposition which the English Ministry has made of the application of their representatives. The Americans will not push the English to an extremity, handsomely rec- ognizing, as they do, the honest purpose of the English Cabinet to bring matters to a satisfac- tory issue. HOPE OF ADJUSTMENT. I believe that, in consequence of what occurred in the Tribunal to-day, a more hopeful view is entertained by all parties than in the previous Conference. It is an even balance for and against the success of tho arbitration. All depends on the answer of Earl Granville, next Monday, to the important query point which has been submitted express- lytohim. — BRITISH POLITENESS AND AVOIDANCE OF COM- PLIMENTS. After the session to-day Chief Justice Cock- burn lingered for a few minutes in the council room and exchanged civilities with citizen Staempfli, the Swiss arbitrator, who passed stiffly away from him. Justice Cockburn then politely urged Count Sclopis, the Italian arbitrator, to use his car- riage during his return to his hotel. Count Sclopis refused the invitation, and ordered that when his own horses arrived his ser- vants should bear his documents and papers to the hotel. 3 Important Despatches from Washington— The Treaty Complied With and Further Argument Impossible. Geneva, June 15—Night. Before the meeting of the arbitrators to- day the Americans received important de- spatches from Washington. lutely. refuse to request an adjournment of the arbitration. It is believed that England's difficulties in regard to the arbitration are insurmountable. They will abso- LATER, The treaty has been complied with by the presentation of the final arguments of both countries. No further argument is possible, except by the desire of the tribunal. The Americans are confident that the tri- bunal will not gecede to the English declara- tion of abeyance. THE AMERICAN PLAN OF ACTION. The American counsel and agent were closeted yesterday with Mr. Charles Francis Adams at his house discussing their course. WHAT THE CHAIR MAY PROPOSE, It is reported in some quarters and contra- tradicted in others that Court Sclopis, the President of the Tribunal, will propose an adjournment of the Board. CIVIC HONOR AND CITIZEN HOPE, Geneva is gayly decorated with flags. An absolute failure of the arbitration is not apprehended by either side. FIRE IN BROOKLYN, Destruction of a Store House and Ele- vator—Loss About $45,000. Shortly before eight o’clock last night it was dis- covered that store house 14 Atlantic Docks was on fire. Fortunately there was nothing but the wood- work about the floor to burn, as the build. ing was empty, and its walls are of stone, The flames, however, communicated to the elevator attach<d to the bullding, and this struc- ture, together with the machinery, was soon de- Mmolished, The building was occupied by General F. E. Pinton, of 106 Wall street, New York, and owned by Mr. Robbins. The loss on the building is said to be $15,000, and loss on the elevator $36,000, The fire broke out in the engine room, KILLED BY,A RUNAWAY TEAM, An aged German named John Moke, who had for for many years lived in the village of West Farms, Westchester county, while attempting to stop a runaway team attached to a heavy brewery wagon at that place on Friday afternoon was norked down, and, the wheels of the pages passing over his head, crushed it in such a shocking manner that death ensued shortly rwards, An inquest was held by Coroner Meeks, when a verdict was re- turned in accordance with the above facta. ceased was “er sixty years of age. THE WAR IN MEXICO. Herald Special Report from the Seat of Revolution. General Trevino's Preparations for An- other Onslaught on the Juaristas. ieee Reported Defeat of Rebel De- tachments. CANALES COMING TO THE FRONT. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. ‘The Henatp correspondent at Camargo has forwarded us the following special despatch: — Camanao, Mexico, June 14, Via Brownsvriz, Texas, June 15, 1872. According to news from Monterey General Trevifio, the revolutionary Commander-in- Chief, is rapidly reorganizing his forces. A detachment sent by him to Montemorelos, to suppress the movement in favor of the government, was routed by the Juaristas and compelled to return to its starting place. The Juarista General Sanchez Ochoa has also beaten the revolutionary forte under Pedro Martinez,-near Metapoula. Ayalla, another Juarista chief, has routed a detach- ment of the pronunciados on the Guerrero road, killing their leader, Gregorio Ongillar, and capturing their arms and horses. Letters from Matamoros to the revolution- ists state that the rebel General Naranjo, with a force of 600 men—cavalry—is moving for the purpose of cutting off General Cevallos, the Commander-in-Chief of the, government troops, from Matamoros. General Corella, who commanded the Juaristas and was beaten in the battle of Monterey, will start for the city of Mexico to-morrow. It is reported that Canales, the Governor of Tamaulipas, has pronounced. Another rumor has it that he is about'to take the side of the government. Reported Pronunciamiento by Governor Canales in Favor of the Juarez Gov- ernment—The Positions of the Contend- ing Forces. Matamoros, Mexico, June 14, 1872. Governor Canales, of Tamaulipas, who has hitherto abstained from taking any part in this war, has di- rected the National Guard to be organized along the whole frontier of the State, and Colonel Gre- gorio de la Sala is organizing the force, which is expected to reach 3,000. Itis understood that Goy- ernor Canales, who has vacated his ofice tempora- rily, will take command in the interest of the gov- ernment and operate against the revolutionists, General Ceballos occupies Camargo and Mier, on the north, and Colonel Revueltas holds Saltillo, on the south of Monterey, where General Treviiio ap- pears to remain inactive since his recent battle, probably recruiting his force. This city and the adjacent country are quiet. Busi- ness is entirely suspended, awatting the next move- ment. Arrival of Reinforcements for the Gare rison of Matamoros—Generel Ceballos’ Intended Advance on Monterey. MATAMOROS, June 15, 1872. The steamer Tabasco arrived at the mouth of the Rio Grande to-day with 375 troops, money and mu- nitions of war for this city, which are being disem- barked. Another steamer ts reported coming, with 600 men for General Ceballos. To-day’s telegrams from Camargo confirm the de- feat of the revolutionists under General Pedro Martinez at Cunalve by General Ochoa, and that the insurgents had lost nearly all their horses, and were dispersed through the mountains, Upon the arrival of the troops expected on the steamer reported coming General Ceballos will be in condition to advance on Monterey, which is the only point of importance north of the Sierra Madre now held by the rebels. CUBA. The Cases of the American Steamers Edgar Stewart and Virginius—Miscellaneous News. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. TIAVANA, June 15, 1872. The Diario publishes two statements relative to the steamer Edgar Stewart, one of which is that the steamer arrived of Aspinwall without being able to disembark her cargo or the filibusters, The Diario says the commander of the fronclad Arapiles is discussing the Virginius question with the Venezuelan government, and it is expected that the matter will be amicably settled.

Her officers were not allowed to communicate with the shore until her status was clearly defined. Bills of the denomination of one and ‘three dollars were issued by the Spanish Bank to-day. Late New York journals received here contain an account of the hanging by the legs of insurgents. Nothing is known in Havana of ba such execu- tions, and the story Is not believed. [tis reported that several insurgents det din an-attempt to surrender to the Spaniards were hanged by Diaz.

An affair extremely pleasing to all the parties concerned came off last evening at the residence of General I. R. O’Beirne, Eighty-fourth street, con- sisting of the presentation of a gold medal and ad- dress to the gallant General by the workingmen of the Post-Office building in recognition of the services he performed for them in assisting them to procure the eight-hour system and a remuneration for the overtime they have worked within the past few ears. The medal is of solid gold, beautifully tn- aid, with a shamrock in the centre, and an inscrip- sq tion on the back as follows :—“Presented to General | I. R. O’Beirne by John 0, Graham, Arthur McLaugh- lin and Michael G. Dady, the Committee of Work- ingmen appointed to wait on President Grant in relation to the eight-hour law.” Mr. Graham, oue of the workingmen, in present- ing the medal, said he was performing one of the most pleasing duties of his life. In the hour of the workmen’s emergency General O’Beirne came to their assistance and quot, and unostentatiously gained for them the recognition of their just rights. Advancing, he placed the medal on the General's breast amid the CY les of the large deputation who agcompanied 5 General O’Beirne, in reply, said he felt deeply gratified at this mark of esteem from the class he most respected—the workingmen. Apart from this, however, there was a deeper principle underlying this affair—the grand lesson that the working classes were rising to the Aeciths! of their position and asserting the rights of their manhood, In a speech of some length he alluded to the present critical epoch in the aifairs of labor, and concluded by heartily thanking the deputation for the honor con ferred upon him. A JERSEY COURT IN A CURIOUS QUANDARY, Can a Judge be Compelled to Wear the Ermine Against His Wilt Some months ago, as reported at the time in the HERALD, @ queer question arose in the Newark Court of Quarter Sessions hinging on the presiding Judgeship. The Court is composed of three “lay” and one “law” Judge. The personnel of the Court, as now organized, is Law Judge presiding, Frederick H, Teese; Lay Judges, W. B, Guild, Herman Ise and W. B. Harrison. At’ the time indicated Judge Teese, in order that he might have more time to attend to a private lucrative practice as legal rep- resentative of a wealthy insurance corporation, sent in his resignation to Governor Parker. It was accepted and a successor duly appointed, a lawyer named Gifford being selected to fill the vacancy. Meanwhile, however, the question came up whether the Governor had constitutional power to accept a resignation and appoint a successor, as in this case, The constitution of New Jersey vests the power of creating judges of the grade named, and, after putting their heads together, the Gov- ernor, Attorney General Gilchrist and one or two other State officers concluded the Governor had no power in the premises. If Judge Teese had died or Tor the State the Governor, it was declared, would have aright to fill the vacancy, but not otherwise, ge Teese had, therefore, to take back his resigna- tion and resign himself to his ermine. But it was irksome to him, and the result has been that the Court bas suffered serious interruptions and the wheels of Jersey justice considerable blocking. Phe ben @ very bee ie case, the hearing of argument for a new trial for the Bannister robbers, was to have been heard, but the absence of the residing judge nullified the power of the Court. t was subsequently arranged that on Monday Judge Depue, Supreme Court justice, would preside, and so reheve the clog from the jndicial wheels. Common sehse people think that if the constitutton in the case of Judge Teese was properly construed no man need be compelled to retain an ofice against his wishes and his interest.

Explosion of the Boilers of the Raft Boat McDonald. About Twenty Men Killed and Others Badly Injured. MoGregor, lowa, June 15, 1872. The raft boat D. A. McDonald, under command of Wall Bigelow, passed here about 4 o'clock yester- day afternoon, and when nearly opposite North’ MoGregor her boilers exploded, and blew all above the boiler deck into fragments. The hull tmme- diately sank in about sixteen feet of water. The Alamaka, a transfer boat between Prairie du Chien’ and McGregor, fortunately was at the landing at North McGregor, and went to the assistance of the} sufferers, and picked up eight of the crew, five of, whom were seriously wounded, Two of them have since died. It is not definitely known how many! were on board at the time of the accident, and it is impossible to ascertain ut present, as the captain. and owner of the boat remained in St. Louis, As hear as can be made out from the stories 01 those saved there must have been between twenty-nine’ and thirty-flve The following 1s a list of the crew, as far as ascer~ tained :— Jack Kelly, killed, Daniel Hoagby, of La Croase, fatally injured; since dead. Mr. Lawrence, of La Crosse, badly hurt. Charlie Peterson, of La Crosse, badly hurt. Patrick Kelly, of Amboy, badly hurt, James Morrison, of St. Charles, slightly scalded. , Spencer Rice, of Trempeleau, slightly scalded. Samuel Johnson, of Lacrosse, slightly scalded. Jacob Hanly, of Wisconsin, slightly scalded. Wall Bigelow, acting captain, slightly scalded. J. Lynch, the cook, of La Crosse, is uninjured. Several of the crew are missing, and were proba~ bly killed. Pat Flannigan, killed. Thomas Riley is uninjured. Mike Dowell, cook, of La Crosse, and John Martin, the second pilot, of La Crosse, were killed. Robert Solomon, the second engineer, who was on duty at the the time of the explosion, and ree ported as among the killed, has turned up, badly scalded and bruised, but not fatally. He says he was attending carefully to his duty, and tried the water not more than three minutes before the ex- Pstlon, and found water in the two top gauges, ie seems to think the boiler was very inferior, but cannot account for the explosion, The crew of the Natr6ma are now dragging the river, but as yet have recovered but one body, which cannot be identified, ANOTHER RAILROAD AOCIDENT.
