LONDON, Feb 6-Greece declines even Glad

A Proposed Modification Of the Plans
For the Capitol Improvement

Architect Clark has recommended that WIN
dows be let into the row of rooms to be formed
by the terrace extension on the west side of the
Capitol. 1t is the intention to devote the eight
rooms to be constructed on the west side to
committee use, and Mr.. Clark maintains that
they should be provided with outside windows.
To effect this change it will be necessary for
Congress to act as the law provides, that the
terrace improvement shall be made in accord
ance with the plans of F. Law Olmstead,
and that plan does not contemplate
windows in any of the terrace rooms.
These rooms on the north and south
of the Capitol are to be used for storage, ETC.,
and the light and ventilation they will receive
from above, it is generally admitted, will be
sufficient. But such light ana ventilation,
sufficient for committee rooms Mr.. Clark has
prepared for the public buildings and grounds
committee sketch of the western front i'm
prOvement as 1t will appear with windows, and
1t Is quite certain that the committee will
commend departure from the Olmstead plan.
Mr.. Omstead's idea, SO it is said, was to
make the terrace work have the appearance
Of a basement story, aud he held that
windows would detract from that effect. The
committee, after a careful examination of Mr.
incline to the opinion that the row of windows
one in each committee rOOm-will be an i'm
prOvement In appearance as Well as convent
ence. The western rooms will be easily acceSsi-
make good committee rooms. Mr.. Clark says it
will require three years time to complete the
terrace work entirely. Up to the presen: the
sum OF $4,000 has been appropriated. The
first appropriation was S25, 600 for the northern
terrace; then followed $4,000 for work ON the
south side. Next 100000 was added in 1854,
and last year $500, 900 were voted. Further
provision will be made at the present session.

told wondrous tales OF gold 10 be found In the
hills Of that section, Of which no one knows but
the Indians, who had handed down the infor.

descendant OF Bushy Head, a Choctaw, who
set the people wild and an agreement was made
10 buy the mineral interest In thousands OF
acres Of land in the upper edge OF Gordon and
Murray counties by giving the owner
half the nnd. With picks and shovels these
men followed the Indian from place 70

business cares were thrown 20 the WIND In their
eagerness TO grasp the untold wealth said 70
abound in the mountain regions. The Indian
led them TO an old mine which ne said the Inr
quantities OF gold. The signs gave evidence
that the mine had once been worked and the
searching party dreamed OF the millions or
wealth which would soon be theirs. Rocks
were gathered with shiny specks which told OF

Day after day, week after week, and mond

HIS INTERPRETATION OF GLADsToNE's AD-

Says cable dispatch from London: Mr.. Glad
stones manifesto contained In his address to
the Midlothian electors is as mysterious as the
Delphic Oracle to most Englishmen. Michael
Davitt last night interpreted it to mean that
some settlement of the land question in Ireland
on principles which will also be applicable to
Great Britain must precede home rule. Mr.
Davitt therefore believes that the agrarian agi-
side with Parnelrs struggle for home rule, has
proved Its utility and may result in more inn

present judicial rent, payable 10 the local gov
eminent of Ireland. In consideration of the re-
Sopd % ENFORCE
measures, the Irish authorities would be re-
quired to release the imperial exchequer OF all
with the local government of Ireland.
The plan is, in fact. to throw the cost of the
local government in Ireland upon the Irish re-
sources exclusively, and to give the Irish people
the rent Of the country for the purpose Of con-
Quoting 1t. The scheme contempiates the use
of the imperial credit to the extent OF q new is

the exchequer will be relieved of the cost of
governing Ireland, which amounts to about
as much as the interest on the above sum,

properly worked out, Will cost nobody q

questing reelection by his constituents, pro-
claims himself In favor of allowing Irishmen to
deal with Irish questions on Irish soil, while at
the same time he favors maintaining all the

advocates q "real union, founded on mutual

MITTEE AGAINS;r NJ

A Charge Against n Foreign Minister.
AN ACCUSATION MADE BEFORE SENATE COM
MITTEE AGAINST MR.. soTELDo.
A sub committee Of the Senate foreign rela-
lions committee has in hand charge made by
Mr.. Grannon Kennedy, of New York, to the
effect that Minister SOteldO, OF Venezuela, had
taken advantage of his position to purchase or
get possession of American claims against Ven
ezuela. Senator Morgan, of the committee, to
whom the matter was referred, does not think
Mr.. Soteldo has done anything unbecoming his
position.
Mr.. Soteldo attributes the charge to the self
interest of claimants who are endeavoring to
defeat his efforts to have certain of the claims
annulled on the ground of fraud. A PROPOSE
ton, he said, was made to him to have his gov
eminent purchase the outstanding ce, tificates
and he entered into correspondence to ascer-
tain at what price they could be purchased.
WHAT IS ALLEGED AGAINST MR.. soTELDo.
The charge against Minister Soteldo is con-
tanned in a brief submitted by Mr.. C. Kennedy,
attorney for the holders OF certificates of award
by the Caracas commission. That commission
made awards, tor which certificates were issued
and there Is, 1t appears, money in the State de-
partment to meet the awards But meantime
the Venezuelan government has undertaken
to procure review of the acts of the commits
sion on the ground OF alleged irregularities or
frauds. Mr.. Kennedy, for the certificate holders
maintains that the action OF the convention
was final and binding, and that the Venezuelan
government, in endeavoring to obtain a new
convention and review, is not acting honoraoly.
ne HAS alSO CudIScu minister SOteluO.
while using his influence to depreciate the GER
tificates by proclaiming them fraudulent and
asking for a review, has been engaged in buying
them up. In his brief Kennedy refers to certain
alleged letters written by SOteldo to New
York merchant, advising him to purchase the
certificates at 25 per cent of their face value
and assuring him that the Venezuelan govern
ment would protect him tthe merchanU In such
purchase,
MIR. sEwELLs RESOLUTION.
On the 22d of last month Mr.. Sewell offered a
resolution, which was referred to the foreign re-
lations committee, calling upon the State de-
partment for correspondence on file with hold
ers OF the certificates their attorneys in rela-
ton 10 the matter and also tor information as
to any proposal of Venezuelan officials or agents
to buy up those certificates. That resolution
has not yet been reported back to the Senate.
1t Is represented that some of the certificates
have been purchased from the original holders
by parties who innocently supposed that the
award was final, as 1t was agreed it should be,
and that Venezuela would pay the awards. The
certificate holders and their attorneys are en-
deavOring to prevent review and to lave Con-
greSS maintain the validity of the awards
