New York, Fob. 9.—The weary grind of the pedestrian* who are trying to beat the world's six-day record continued yesterday In the Madison Square garden without much variation from the tedious work of the day lefore. The attendance keeps up almost to respectability, so tar as numbers are concorned. The number of contestants has been reduced to sixteen, and will dotfbtless be further reduced before to-morrow. Albert still leads, and is apparently as fresh as ever. Panchot follows him closely and is booked to win by the wise ones. Herty and the Mexican are nearly side by side. The "Greaser" is breaking down, and he. bled from the nose at intervals fpr six hours yesterday. Hart, the colored boy, is confident of being near the winner at the end, and Strokel has bet all that he has got that he will win. Day still plods cm in hopes of getting in at the finish for some of the gate money. Little Noremac rested little and kept to his familiar dog trot continually. Swindlers have been cheating the management and the public by selling bogus season tickets of admisp' jn. There were a number of spirited races between the leaders at various times.

Washihotow, Fob. 0.—The senate in etecn• (vtmriw yesterday practically rejected the extradition treaty with Great Britain by voting 23 to 21 to defer actiop till the first Monday Ot next December.

A calculation had been taken as to the chances of the treaty, and it was discovered that the required two-thirds vote necntiary for ratif.oar tion could not possibly be procured. A motion was made to defer action, and the treaty was practically killed. Chicago, Feb. B.—The murder of millionaire A. J. Snell, by burglars, early yesterday morning, has created a profound sensation in this city. The entire detective force is making every effort to capture the murderers, and several promising clews which have been discovered may result in this before another day has pumod. It appear! that the burglars ottered the Snell mansion, on Washington boulevard, by cutting a bole in a panel of the kitchen door large enough to admit of the passage of a hand and arm. The catch was then sprung and the men stole into the house. Tiptoeing their way through the kitchen they crept into Mr. Snell's office in the front the house and ransacked his safe, securing about $8,000 worth of county warrants, $5,000 of negotiable paper and nearly $800 in cash. Then they ascended to the first floor, and finding the parlor door locked broke it open with a jimmy. London, Feb. 0.—The queen's speech was read at the ministerial banquet last evening.

Mr. OibeOn is if raid that if the McCoys take alarm at the KWHibility that the Hatflelds may be released, be Kentuckians will assassinate their captives. Therefore he wished the newspapers o say as little of the case as possible. The treaty was signed at London June 25, 188(5, and n as sent to the senate by Mr. Cleveland July 8, 18N0. The matter was referred to the innate committee On foreign relations. Immediately protests were raised against it, and the committee was bombarded with petitions, memorials and resolutions against it Congress adjourned and the treaty was not heard of. In the next session it came from the committee as a confidential document, and as such was handled In executive session. Then followed the Attacks on the secret sessions and the efforts to abolish them. The speech does not refer to the European crisis.

Mr. Hnell slept alone in a room directly over the middle parlor. Quietly as the burglars had worked, they had aroused the aged millionaire. He roee from bed, seized his revolver, and stole stealthily down the main staircase, at the bottom of which he no doubt heard the thieves at their work. He was in his night robes. The white figure had gone but half way down stairs when the parlor doors were closed by one of the men inside the room. It is supposed that the noise startled the old man. He leveled his pistdl at the panels of the doors and fired. The bullet passed through the cepter of one of the doors, about five feet from the floor, and, crossing the parlor, pierced a white silken banner v and struck the wall just above the martye fireplace. It then fell upon the floor. Mr. Snell fired again, but no trace of the bullet can be found. Minneapolis, Feb, 9.—The Journal's Highmore, D.

Innocent Wolf, present Abbot of Atchison, Kan., was elected as successor of the late Arch Abbot Wimmer. The election will have to be ratified at Rome.  In the course of his reply he said that in aeither Europe nor America could be seen such a painful spectacle as was observable in England—the spectacle of one nation holding down another by force. Russia would be ashamed to say of Finland what Englishmen were not ashamed to say of Ireland—namely, that 37,000,000 people were afraid of 5,000,000.

It is thought, however, that the instant the burglars fired through the panel tbey opened the doors and, with the barrels of the revolvers and a flood of light from their lanterns leveled at the bewildered man, shot him before he could utter a word. Their bloody work finished the assassins slipped out of a side door and disappeared. Deigelmayer says that a government portion awaits him in Mexico at a salary of (300 per month.
