The Truftty of Washington. Washington, 15 While it is known that a majority of the Senators are in favor of ihe raulication of the Treaty of Washington, as a measure of peace, some of ihem will prepare amendments to several provisions which they consider con-sider not sufficiently plain, and which without nioditicatiou may lead to dissatisfaction dis-satisfaction in the future. One of the objections against the treaty is, that ihe San Juan question is to be submitted sub-mitted to the aroitration ofthe Emperor Emper-or of Germany. The recent report of his indisposition, and he being an old man, suggests that in the event of his death, his son Frederick William would succeed to the throne, and thus take the place of his father as arbitrator. Should the question not be settled i djrmg the present Emperor's lifetime, ! the arrangement of the joint high ; commission is considered unfortunate, in view of the fact that the Prince! having married ictona Adelade, ! daughter of the Queen of England, i might therefore be influenced in his ! determination ofthe question by family' considerations. i Enforcing tlie lu Klui Bill. j New York, 15.

The sheriff released theiu i on their personal recognizance to ap-! pear to-morrow before commissioner) Moore at Shelby, Cleveland county. The general impression is. that the arrests ar-rests might as easily have been made without troops. The soldiers returned to Raleigh. Governor Caldwell, of North Carolina, Caro-lina, has issued a proclamation of warning war-ning to the Kuklux. His arraignment of the organization is by far the severest accusation made against them, either at the north or the south.
