WxtmxaToa, Jane 5.-—In tho Senate, the President pro tem n Mr. Dari*, before pro ceeding with the order of business, mado a r<r*cnal statement regarding hi* abeenoe 0:1 Friday. He said ho vu suddenly oa..od u« ay from tho city, and that hie letter designating Mr. Ingalls to perform the duties of the chair daring that day waa in exact conformity with a letter from a former preaiding officer (Mr. Thurman), In pur^oonce of which a member (Mr. Eaton) temporarily diacharg^ the du ties of the chair without objection. Sinco this precedent has been regarded as of doubtful authority, the chair, desiring to , guide his action by tho judgment of the Senate, would feet obliged by a decision that would relievo tills important question of its obvious embtrrar smont. Mr. Authouy thought that if a discussion of the Question would have tho effect of emphasizin g tho necessity for a bettor regu lation of the presidential suuoesaion, it vas fortunate that it bed occurred. After brief remarks by Messrs. Garland, Logan and Sherman, the committee on rales, on mo tion of Mr. Anthony, was instructed to in quire and report upon the question. Mr. ft Laphatn reported favorably from tho com mittee on woman suffrage, with a state- mi nt of views of the majority in its favor, a bill for anjameadmeat to thejoonstitutiou giving the suffrage to women. Mr. George .... .. il Mt • I.. -lit. presented the minority report off the sub ject. The bill was placed on tho calendar. .Resolution* were offered and dLposcd of as stated ?

Adopted without debate. The Japanese indemnity bill, the reg ular order, was Lid aside, and tho Senate resumed consideration of tho army appropriation bill, tho question being upon the Senate committee’s amend ment providing for the volantary retire ment of army officers after forty years’ser vice,wd that for compulsory retirement at sixty-two years of age. Mr. Bayard asked that the two features be voted on aeparate- ly; it waa so ordered. Tho first branch of the amendment then prevailed without dis sent. Upon tho oompnlsory retirement clause considerable debate was had, in the oourae of whiefi Mr. M"*oy aald the army- retired list tow c^sia tho country $912,033 annually, and thia bill will inorea«o that sum by $800,003. The age lor compUory retirement was finally fixed at sixy-fonr years. Mr. I’on die ton offered A resolution in structing the civil service reform ommnit- teo to inquire into a political aswesw-ent notice which bad reoently been served upon government employes in Washington, in which notioe is embodied this statement: “Saoh rawamenta will not be objected to in any offleialjquarter." The committee is instructed to inquire what authority this statement ia based upon. Laid over by ob ject ion of Mr. Plumb, of Kansas. The Senate bill making the time required to ncoolre homesteads on tho pnblic domain three instead of five years came up on tho calendar, and was passed. Ad* jonrn* d. house.

Kerney, of Loa- t'un.txairtnrflnf’a diflowact. Wabuinqtom. Juno G.-*A copy of tho dis- S atcli from Secretary Freliughayscn to iiuister Lowell on the Clayton-Bulwor treaty wo* received by the Senate to-day. TIi*- dirtpatch acknowledges the receipt through Mr. HackviUe-W est of two dis patcher from Lord Granvillo in regard to tlie treaty, and states that he k*« boon instructed by tin President to transmit \he opinions en tertained in this country regarding tho tra ditional continental policy of tbo United State* in connection with the treaty, which are tiiat a caual across tho isthmus for ves sels of all dimensions aud everrcharacter would expose our western coast hi attack and destroy our isolation, thus obliging us to increase our defenses and possibly com pel as, contrary to our traditions, to take an active interest in tho affairs of Euro pean nations. Lord Granville, in his dis patch of November 10,1881, saya th*t tho posit.on of Great Britain and the United States in reference to tho canal is de termined by tho Clnyton-Bulwef treaty of 1860, and that her Majesty’s government rely with confidence ou tho observ ance of all engagement* of that treaty. An important object which the United States had in view in this treaty was to dispossess Great Britain of settle ments in Central America, and tbe United States was lenacions that Great Britain shouIJ not extend farther her occupation of threatening naval or military strategic points along their maritime frontior. To assure |thia the h»srtics to tho treaty jointly agreed not to exsreiso dominion overor fortify or oolonizo Nicsrogua, Cos ta Rica, the Mosquito Coast or any part of Central America. Ortat Britain however, exercises dominion over Belize or British Honduras, and Ihe impression prevails that sinoe tho conclusion of the treaty of 1850 English inhabitant* have spread into the territory of neighboring repubiios, and occupy land which belongs to one or two republics, but over which tbo government of her Maieoty assumes to exorciso control. Such dominion seems to be inconsistent with that provision of the treaty which prohibit* the exsrdse of dominion by Great Brits in over any part of Central America. At the time of the conclusion of the Clajton-Bolwer treaty, England's privilege* in Belize were confined to a right to cut wood and establish saw mills, and were conferred by treaties in which Spanish sovereignty waa recognized. Upon the conclusion of the treaty Sir Henry Bulwer filed a declaration under date of June 2!>, 1881, that the treaty was ratified with the understanding on the part of tier Majesty’s government that it did not apply to her Majesty's settlement at Honduras and its dependencies. Clay ton answered, under date of Jaly 4, I s Vi, that he eo understood, but that be must not bo understood to cither affirm or deny tbe British title therein. Each of these declarations was made aftt*r ths conclusion of the tieaty by the joint notion ol the President and the Senate, and that the declaration was not mndo to or noceptsd by them. Tho United States have nover given their consent to this con version of-a British settlement in Central America under Spanish-American sov ereignty into a British possession, with British sovereignty. The parties to the Clayton-Hniwer treaty anticipated that a canal by the Nicaraguan rente was to be at once begun: it was under this antieipation that the United State* consented to waive exclusive Aid valo *blc rigbta which had been given to them; that they consented to agree with Great Britain that they would not oc cupy, fortify, colonize or assume dominion over any part of Central America, and that they consented to admit ber Majesty’s government at some future day to share in the protection which they bare exercised ever the Isthmus of Panama. The govern ment and people of tbe United States, Uijugh rioh in land and industry, were poor in money, and the floating capital in the I860 scheme for a canal, area without the oompUcttiou* of the Mosquito protec torate, waa too vast for tbe means of the American* of tiiat day, who numbered considerably lest than hall tbolr numbers to-day. They went to England, which bad what they had not, surrendered their axelnslre tbe original grantee, which had powe make such alignment. Upon his mot the committee was discharged from c aideration of the subject. The Uoqm bill appropriating $100. foraifablie building at Lynchburg, ^ wo* passed.

Mr. Cobb, of Indians, sent to the clerk's desk aud had read tbe bill for wtoee,tfq- uors and cigars used to the entertainment' amounting to $&?J9, which be condemned* Mr. Kingly, of Maine, opposed tbe ap propriation, and charged that a free bar! had been kept on the boat which carried the visitors to Yorktown, and protested ini tbe name of his eonetitneuU against tbe I saddling on tbe tax payers cf tbe country of bills like tbe one read, incurred under the form of extending welcome to twenty rep- z<-KtAtivee of Franco. Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, thought it un-1 seemly that Congress should higgle and quibble over the payment of bills contract ed for tbe entertainment of tbe foreign «- .rat s of the government.

Mr. Sparks, of Illinois, rising to a qua*, tion of privilege, said that daring the de ficiency bill debate .vome rather angry colloquy had occurred between Mr. Cox and himself, not to the extent, however, re ported to the Washington morniug paper*. The remark* had been mado a»Tae, and had not gone into tbe Record, bet for his part to tbe colloquy be respectfully begged the nardon of the gentleman from riew York, toward whom he had always main tained the kindliest feelioga. Mr. Oox re plied that he wa» glad the ccuUeznan from Iilmoj* had txken occasion to expreaa his regrot for tho remarks m do by him. lie thought that the gentleman had made tha amends honorable, and he accepted tbe apology in the same kindly feeling in which it had »>©en tendered. The House went Into a committee of the whole, uud resumed consideration of the general deficiency appropriation bill. Tbe danse directing the- credit to ex-Treasnrer Spinner of $47,000, the amount debited to him on the treasury books, was ruled out ou « point of order. Meesrs.

New Oblkaei, Jone 7.—A duel was fought this morning at tbe Slaughter House be tween Major E. A. Burke, of the Times- Democrat, and O. H. Parker, editor of the Picayune. Pistols were used and five shots exchanged. At tho fifth shot Burke was shot through both thighs, though uo bone wo* broken, and the wound is uot consid ered dangerous. Major Burke, feeling agrieved at o rtato editorial article* wbioh recently appeared in the Picayune, on Friday sent# peremp tory challenge to Mr. Parker, edit or of the Picayune, to fight him a duet. Parker ac cepted, and his representatives, George L. Hall and James A. Renshaw, named Miss issippi rifles a* the weapon*. Burke had the choice of distanoe, and James D. Hous ton nud Major John A. Augustine, his sec onds, fixed it at two nnd a half paces. Though no reasons were given by Barked friend* for naming so short a distance, it is generally understood they did so be- caoao of tho reported exportnoss of Parker with the weapon selected. Tho weapon not being satis- frtetory, after a conference regular duelling pistols were finally agreed upon and the distance twenty paoet, tbe ground cclected being to St. Bcrnnra parish, near tbe Slaughter House. Maj. Burke and bis friends arrived first and were eoon joined by Parker and bis friends. Burke’* second won the t ms for position and Mr. Hall was selected to give the word. Everything being in readiness, the principals took tbo position* assigned them and at the word their weapons were discharged almost simultaneously, neither of the gentlemen being hurt. An effort waa made by tho seconds to adjust the diffcuiij-, but Burke’s friends held that their principal had been wronged ami asked if the wrong would bs righted. Parker's friends ad mitted that Borke was a man of courage, nnd that they thought wo* sufficient. Burke’s friends claimed that the Picayune had criticised him too freely; that its crit icisms were oatside of the rote of journal- ■till reserved that right. As no compro mise ooold be effected the principal* took their position* for a second shot, which, like tlie first, waa without result. Uoeuc- ccssful efforts similar to those aftor tho first followed the seoond round. After the tid'd round Burke’s friends demanded that Parker should acknowledge the bravery and the personal and official integrity of Burke, which his friends claimed Parker bod inpogned In a series of articles in the Picayune. As Parker’s friends declined to make a satisfactory deeolalmer, no further effort at a compro mise was made, and tbe fourth and llftn round* followed. At the fifth fire Major Burke waa shot through both legs, aboot eight inches above the knee, and would have fallen bnt waa caught by his second*. When Parker’s seconds discovered that Burke had been wounded they asked K rmUaioQ for their party to retire >m the ground. This request was granted by tbo soconds of tbe other tide. Tbe partite then atpar nteJ, Burke being conveyed to bis resi dence on Camp street, and Parker repair- ing to the Picayune oBoe. Those who wit nessed the duel agree that the principals acted with remarkable courage nud cool ness, and that the affair was condacUd ac cording to the rules prescribed by the oode. Drs.

The President does not think that the United Statee are called upon by any principle of equity to revive those provisions of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty which were specially applicable to the coo cession of August, 1848, and apply them to any other ooocee- stotx which baa been sinos or is to be here after made.

In response to oar inquiry if she was ready to moke any confession, she said she was wtil : ng at any time to tell all she know; that sho had not commit ted tho deed, and was be ing punished for the work of others. She commented by making a few rambling states enti>, which were after- ward incorporated in a straightforward tale. Daring these statements, our repor ter waa all patience, preferring not to press her, but allow her to tell it in her own way. After going oat of the way aud beating about the bush for about ten minute*, she buckled down into tho straight path, sad tho following is what she eaid : “The night before tlie killing I went np toSummcrflelltosee a Ia1y na-ned Mies Braswell. When I got off tho train I saw Mr, Marion Carr, and be asked me if 1 was thesamo woman who wa« up there not long ego, and I told him yes. lie asked me where 1 was going and I told him I was going to see Mis* Bras well, who lived a piece from the station in the woods, U61 tzi teen doin’g wrong In Ma con, and I wanted to go oat to the coun try because 1 was ashamed to stay in town. Mr. Carr asked me to go down to Mr. Evans' store with him aud stay all night. I told him I did not think Mr. Evaus would let anybody in the store tha’ Into at night. Mr. 0*rr said ye* h? would et a woman in but would not let a mtn. When we got to the store I felt like I ought not to go in there, and I told Mr. Garr a lie. I told him I wanted to go up and see Unole Hear/ a minnte, ana I ran np to the house where Undo Henry lived and called him. bnt ho did not answer. Unoie Henry said in court that he heard somebody call him. That was me. I went back to the store where Mr. Carr wa* and he said he had a shot bag fall of gold, and it I would go in and then when the train parsed by got up and let him in he would give me fonr hun dred dollars of tbe gold, aud I was to ireet him at the station next morning where he met me that eight “1 knocked at the door and Mr. Evan* opened the door and asked who was that Mr. Carr was then around tha corner of the ■tore. I told Mr. Evansl wanted to stop there all night He said, *My little girl is with me to-night, bnt being as yon are a woman, yon can come in.’ I went in and polled off my shoes and put them under the table. You know they said they found my shoes under the pile of oottou seed. They didn’t do any inch thing. They were aider the table by the cotton-roed pile, and when thev went to scratching in tha pile to sea if anybody was hid iu It they polled the ootton-seed all over tho shoe*. Well, 1 laid down on iho side of the bed and went to sleep. When the train went by before day I woko np, end was juit to a dose, falling back to sleep, when I heard a match scratch. I looked aud saw Mr. Carr and a tall white man and a ^olorel mau in tho room around the bed. The colored man had a large moos- tnche, and had on a big blaek Eat aud an overcoat. When the match was lit it did not stay lighted long, bnt I don’t know wheti*er they blew it ont or it went oot. Mr. Carr was standing in the middle door, then came the other white man, and tho colored man was standing right at the side of the bed. The next thing 1 heard was like an axe striking something, but I don't know what it was. Then 1 beard the licks on Mr. Evans. He did not groan or say much, only saying V, Lord 1’ The men went on out of the room, and stayed in the front room a while. Then they called to me to let them out. I got up and they went oaf. I wanted to go, too, but Mr. Carr *taid for me to stay until morning, and then he gave me a lot of nickels or dimes, I forget which, and he didn’t take ’em out of hi* pocket but ont of b's hand, and said for ins to meet him at the station and he would pay me the $100. I locked tbe door and went back and laid down, like a fool. When daylight come there was a lot of people ouuidc, and I heard ’em say tha* that they were going in the store and shoot whoever they saw. Tills made mo scared and I tried to hide. Then r^msbody called out to the little girl to open the door, and I was so scare i that I cent and got in tbe shuck pile. Ihe little girl didn’t know when I went in that night because she was asleep. They come to and palled me oat. “When Mr.Cirr'and the other people were ir the store looking around that morning, and I was standing at tho end of the counter, Mr. Tucker holding on to my hand, 1 saw Mr. Gait reach up on the shelf and get a cigar box. He took two papers ont of the box and pat 'em in his pocket. g ? then come to where I was nnd winked mo, and said he had not commtncod with me. “That ifUle girl heard me UU what knew about it, and »be just told my word* in court. They said .the blool was on her clothe*, but it was ou her head. They tanghl her what to say on tho stage (mean ing the witness stand), and if she wasn’t taught tossy it. I'm willing to hare my head cut right off. I diin’t kill him, and bad no more todo with it than I tell joa, and 1 am telling you tbe God's truth." Daria* the delivery of this statement the toon would now and then atari to bar eye*, and she frequently cave bursts to inch ex- preesiosa as this: **lt Uncle Henry and BUI Costaphcn saw too lights to the store as they say they did. they knew all about the wtllinff." and “How could Bill Castaphsra j lick* acro*s the road, and the store ■hut np and his shop shut up f She fur- tber sold tost “while she was tied that morning aha described the colored man she saw in the store to Mr. Thomas Tucker, and Mr. Tocksr said it mast have been Charlc* Street. She never saw Char!** Street aa she knew of, bnt Mr. Tucker said It must have been him, as he was tbe only man to tho neighborhood that the descrip tion answered.'' It will be remembered that In th« testi mony tho fact was adduced that Charles Street was indebted to the deceased to the amount of four hundred and fifty dollars. Street doe* not, however, answer folly to tbe description given by Carrie, as his moustache it not a large one. We present this extraordinary statement Just as it fell from Carrie’s lips, *t too declaration of a woman awaiting a era- trace that may send her to tbe gallows or the penitentiary for life. Her statement of yesterday tallies with _j# one made before the coroner’s jury on the morning after the murder, with the ex ception of toe implication of other parties. On that morning she made no reference to more than one man in the room at the time the blows were stricken.
