Great Britain and Venezuela.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner CabIe.1
CARACAS, Venezuela, Aug. 21.-The dis
pute with England over the Guiana boun-
Diary continues, and causes much irritation.
The Venezuelans are indignant over the
recent high-handed proceedings of the Eng
lish in the disputed territory. The British
gunboat Ready, from Demarara, with Com
Missioner McTurk on board arrived at
PuDta Barima towards the close of last
month and ordered the captain of a Ven
ezuelan vessel, the Fara, which was guard
ing the mouth of the Orinoco, to haul down
his colors. This he was compelled to do,
submitting to superior force. The govern
ment has sent commission to the spot to
investigate the outrage. The commander
of the Fara will be tried by court-martial
for having yielded without having made
proper show of resistance. The Liberal Of
this city, suggests that another vessel be
sent to Punta Barima with guns shotted
and flag nailed TO the mast. Let the Brit
ish then do their worst. and Ven
ezuea can appeal to the United
South America and 70 the British parlia--
ment itself against sach violation Of inter-
national law.
For some years past England has been
trying to take possession of Venezuelan
territory adjoining British Guiana or Dem
arara, as it is sometimes called. The
Orinocois a Venezuelan river and its mouth
only just touched the original boundaries Of
Guiana. There has been an unsettled
boundary question for years, and during the
regime of President Crespo, from 1884 to
1889, when the republic was kept in con-
slant state of commotion, the English i'm
proved the opportunity to establish them
selves unofficially at Puuta Barima. Since
1885 the British have occupied the land lying
along the Barima, Amadro and Moraguana
rivers. In 1888 a Mr. McTurk headed
secret expedition in the English ship
Lady Langton, steamed up these
rivers ana the Orinoco, and in violation
of the rights of Venezuela posted notices
threatening punishment of all infringing
the rights of her majesty of Great Britain.
Mr. McTurk arrested Mr.. Wells, a
Venezuelan officer, on Venezuelan terri
tory, and took him to British Guiana for
punishment. Briefly stated, Great Britain,
or British Guiana, has resolved to occupy
over sixty thousand square miles Of
Venezuelan territory, only small portion
of which was ever in dispute. The
Venezuelans have frequently suggested
that the United States should act as arbi-
traitor on this question or that an inter-
national commission should sit at Washing
ton but England while disclaiming an in
vasion officially has heretofore refused to
/ consider the proposition.

Woman Suffrage and the Race Problem.

JACKSON, Miss, Aug 21.-A tiDge Of SEN
timent colored the proceedings of the con-
stitutional convention to-day, during the
progress of Delegate Tewell's speech in
support of the proposition offered by him
self to confer the suffrage upon women.
TewelPs resolution is as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that it is condition necessary
to the solution of the franchise problem
that the right to vote be secured by proper
constitutional enactment to every woman
who shall have resided in the state six
months and who shall be twenty-one wears
of age or upward, and who owns, or whose
husband, If she has a husband, owns real
estate situated in this state, of the clear
value of $500 over and above all encnm-
brances.
The vote of every woman voting in an
election may be cast by some eector who
shall be thereunto authorized in writing by
such woman entitled to vote. Such consti-
tutional enactment shall not be framed so
as to grant to women the right to hold
office.
After two hours discussion on the reso-
luton, Jewell struck out the Objectionable
clauses of his resolution and had it referred
to the committee CT elective franchise.
The woman suffrage idea is becoming in
favor among the best minds OF the conven-
ton, and unless safety from negro
supremacy can be reached by other
methods, Tewell's plan, or one similar to
it, will be adopted.

The New York Central situation.

New YORK, Aug. 21.-Chief Sargent this
morning said meeting of the Federation
of Railroad men would be held at Terra
Haute Saturday, with the undoubted re-
suit that strike on the entire Vanderbilt
system would be ordered. AS he and his
three associates have endorsed the action
of the general executive board of the
Knights of Labor he thoroughly believes
the supreme council of the federation would
sustain it. He also said the action of Webb
last night in adhering so firmly to the stand
he had taken rendered the action they had
taken necessary. Webb's arbitrary meth
DDS and utter r-fusal to arbitrate the sItua-
ton made IL useless to deal with him any
longer
Vice President Webb this morning said
he did not believe the impending strike
would be nearly so gigantic as the fedora
ton and Knights of Labor would have the
people believe. Webb did not doubt the
supreme couucil OF the federation would
call out the men, but he was of the opinion
that the numbers who would respond
would not be so great after all.

sttngency in the Money Market.

WALL STREET. N. Y, Aug. 21-The
stingency in the money market to-day was
sharper than it has ever been since the
May panic of 1854. AT the opening of the
Stock exchange, brokers who were long on
stocks and had borrowed money on. them,
were glad to renew loans at 20 per cent.
per annum. Even this rate would not
bring renewal of loans in many cases,
and before IL o'clock many borrowers re-
ceived notices that their loans had been
called in. Brokers who bought stocks yes
terday in anticipation of relief from the
treasury department, tried to obtain funds
to pay for their purchases but were unable
to do so, and the combined demand caused
a large crowd to remain around the money
post in the exchange all day. Early loans
were made at % per cent, but the supply
at this figure was soon exhausted. and the
rates moved up 40, 80, go, 20, so, 80, and be-
fore O'Clock the prevailing rate was SO per
cent, or equal to legal interest and pre-
MUM of 4 per cent. per day.
After p. m. the rate advanced to u per cent.
per day and leagal interest equal TO IS per cent
per annum. A crowd OF brokers was trying to
borrow, and money continued to increase In
the last nour kilograms from Washington to
the effect that the treasury officials had de.
cided to take measures to relieve the strin-
gency, caused an easier feeling and the high
lates for money rapidly dwinuled too when a
fresh supply of funds came in from sterling ex-
change bills.

In The HOuse.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-In the House Blu
chanan called up the bill for the adjust
ment of the accounts of laborers arising
under the eight-hour law. 1t was discussed
while and went over without action. Con
sideration of the bill defining ''lard' was
then resumed.
Henderson, of Illinois, reported the river
and harbor bill asking non concurrence in
all the Senate amendments and agreeing
to the conference requested by the Senate
Kerr, of Iowa, made the point of order
that the amendment must first be cen
sidered in committee of the whole.
Henderson ihereupon withdrew the re-
port, stating he would make it tomorrow
as priviied dyed matter in the morning hour.
Buchanan called up the bill for the ad-
justment of the accounts of laborers ari j.
ing under the eight-hour law. Pending
discussion the morning hour expired aud
the House proceeded to the consideration
of the bill defining lard.
Mason, of Illinois, said this was a fight
between the packers of impure lard and
the packers of refined compound lard 1t
was trade fight and had no. place in Con
grass. After considerable furtaer debate
the House took a recess

"That depends entirely upon circum-

Governor of California.

BOISE, Idaho. Aug. 21.-fSpecial telegram
co THE HERALD The resolution that
practically divided the state into two
United States senatorial districts came up
for discussion this morning and was passed.
In the afternoon the nomination of candi-
dates was taken up and George l.. Shoup,
the present incumbent was re-nominated
for governor, \. b. Wiley, of Idaho
county, for lieutenant governor; s.. j.
Pinkham, of Alturas, for secretary os
state; George A. Robethau, of Bingham,
for state auditor, and Frank R. Coffin, of
Ada, for state treasurer. The convention
then adjourned until O'Clock in the even
ing
The Pride faction has about twenty-five
majority in the convention, but does not
seem TO have been very successful. The
Duboisists only succeeded when Coffin was
nominated. The adoption of the resolu-
ton giving the north Senator was
Dubois defeat, but it may be turned to &C
count by the defeat of the Republican can
didate for acknowledgements which it it
presumed will be done whatever else may
accrue to the ticket. The Dubois men
are sure to do this. In the evening
George H. Roberts was nominated for at
torney general. He was formerly district
attorney of Alturas county. The conven-
ton then proceeded to the nomination of
superintendent of common schools. ]. w.
Daniels, of Ada; H. f. Baker, of Logan,
and Judge Harroun, of Oneida were nomi-
mated. Mark Anthony Kourtz, Of blessed
memory as member of the fifteenth ses-
sion, said that he had understood that
Prof. Baker was correspondent of THE
SALT LAKE HERALD. Several gentlemen
here made speeches having relation
to the criminality of correspond
ing with Democratic papers. DIR.
Lock, of Bellevue, said that Mr..
Baker was gentleman of education and
ability and had good knowledge of journal
ism. The services of such a gentleman
were eagerly sought by publishers. Mr..
Baker had gathered news for pay and sent
it where it would bring the most money.
This was custom with newspaper men.
A ballot was taken resulting in tie be-
tween the three gentlemen. 1t is now after
10 o'clock and another ballot is being
taken. If the convention adiourns tonight
it will be at late hour
II p.m.-Mr. Baker became excited on
account of the attack of Mr.. Kourtz con-
corning his connection with The SAIL
LAKE HERALD and rose in the convention,
declined in favor of Judge Harroun, OF
Oneida county. The judge was nominated
at once. AT this hour the convention is al
work on supreme court judges. Prominen,
among the nominees are j. 7. Morgan
Joseph w. Huston and l. n. Sullivan, who
will probably come out ahead.
Midnight-The Republican convention
has just adjourned. The latest is of dis
trict judges and attorneys which will be
sent tomorrow. The Democrats are re
ioicing at the result of the convention.

In the senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The Senate this
morning after spending some time consid-
ering Piumb's resolution for prohibiting
liquor selling or drinking in the Senate
wing of the capitol, took up the tariff bill.
nothing was said about Quay 'order of
business" resolution, debate on which
begun yesterday.
The pending question on the tariff bill
was McPherSon's amendment referring to
table knives, steels, butcher knives, etc.,
and to impose compound duties on them
according to the value of the classifications.
The amendment is to substitute for these
duties uniform rate of 30 per cent. ad
valorem. The bill was temporarily laid
aside and the conference report on the
bill for an increase in the clerical force of
the pension Office presented and agreed to.
Evarts presented a telegram from the
members of the Grant Monument associa-
ton in New York, protesting against the
proposed removal of Grants remains to
Washington.
Consideration of the tariff bill was re-
sumed and the pending amendment re-
jected. Mcpherson moved to amend the
paragraph referring to files and rasps by
striking out duties and classification by
lengths, and inserting % per cent. ad
valorem.
Without acting on the amendment, the
Senate went into executive session and
soon adjourned.

of the executive board, announced this
afternoon that Monday next at Albany, a
meeting of District 246 would be held, at
which the executive board would be
present for the purpose of consultation.
At this meeting each local assembly will
send from three to five delegates, and
there will be present from six to seven
hundred members, from that section of the
state lying adjacent to the Central road
from New York to Buffalo.
Webb late in the afternoon said relative
to the charge made by Powderly that he
and the executive board since their arrival
here had been Swallowed by detectives, that
unless he had taken every lawful means to
protect the interests of his road and kept
himself informed as to what the members
of the board were doing, he would be
wholly unfit to remain ne-half hour in his
present position.
