A Reciprocity RumOr.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia Washington
special to the Times says: 1t is under
stood the president is ready for the an
nouncement of a proclamation of re-
ciprocity with Venezuela, similar to the
agreement just reached with Brazil, and
to take effect about the same time. The
total exports of Venezuela in 1856 were
little more than $1l 100000, and their
imports about $9,000,000, of which
amount the Venezuelans took from us
more than $2.OO0,000. In 1858 that
country took from us products to the
amount of $3,000,O00. This included
100000 worth Of breadstuffs, princi-
pally wheat -four; about $500 ZOO worth
of cloth, 100000 worth of manu-
factures OF iron and steel, and
more than 100000 worth of pro-
visions and dairy products. In 1888
we imported a little more than 10000
600 altogether from Venezuela. While
the United States send more products to
Venezuela than any other foreign nation,
the imports of the United Kingdom.
France and Germany, are together larger
than those of the United States. The
proclamation of the president would
have been made a day or two ago, as it
was expected the agreement Of Vene-
zuela to the propositions Of the United
States would be received by the last
steamer. The papers are on the way,
however, and will arrive by steamer due
in New York February 18th, or there
abouts.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lit is learned
on the highest authority, that the state
ment that a reciprocity agreement has
been concluded with Venezuela, is incor-

New Senator for Idaho.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 1.-THE Re-
pubicans today prese nted the F. M. B.
A. men list of candidates from which
to choose United States senator, but
they refused to consider any OF the
names, saying it was useless to nego-
tiate further. The Republicans decided
to go into joint assembly. and after two
or three ballots change off to Lindley,
and later to other candidates on the
list presented to the F. M. B. A.
When the joint assembly met, every
member responded to roll-call, and the
first ballot showed no change from the
votes of yesterday. On the seventy
seventh ballot the Republicans voted for
Cicero ]. Lindley. The farmers refused
to change from Stele. The ballot re-
suited: Palmer, l01; Lindley, 100;
Stelle, g.
Two more ballots were taken this al
ternoon without change.

PIERRE, s. D., Feb. 1.-THE Ind :
pendent caucus last night decided to
drop Campbell and nominate State SEN
ator Kyle instead; while in the Repub-
lican caucus Moody was decided on
again as the party nominee. Two bal
lots were taken today, the last one re-
sulting: Moody, 6S; Kyle, SO; Trip,
"a; Dillon, 4; Mellette, /; Dewarte, / ;
Campbell, /, with twelve paired.
The report that combination of Inde-
pendents and Democrats is being formed
to secure the election OF a Democrat from
Illinois and farmer from South Da-
kota, had the effect of uniting the Re-
publicans, and they will hereafter doubt
less work together for one man. The
Independents seem disposed to follow
the same order. The Illinois-South
Dakota combine is treated with little
credence among the leading politicians
here.

Fur Seal Almost Exte rminatea. .

WASHINGTON, b. 1.-THE report Of
Professor Elliott, the commissioner ap-
pointed to investigate the condition of
the seal fisheries, was not among the
documents presented to congress yester-
day. 1t is held by Secretary Blaine.
The reports OF the special agents tend to
confirm what Professor Elliott found
out, namely: That unless the killing of
seals is stopped for a period OF years, it
won't be long till there will be no seals
left to kill. Last year the North Amer
lean company, which got lease from
the government, killed 2l 900. 1t had q
right to kill 10000 the first year, and
100000 each year following. The old
Alaska seal company has gone out of the
business. Professor Elliott thinks that
the absolute stopping of seal-catching
for about seven years, would make the
fisheries once more valuable. Should
any arrangement be made for prevents
ing any seal-catching during given
period, the United States will not be Ii
able to the North American company
for any breach of contract, the company
having taken the lease subject to such
conditions.

PRIESTS MEET IN SECRET.
To Perpetuate the German Language
Among Catholics In America.


Among Catholics in America.
BUFFALO, Sept. 22-Archbishop Katz, of Mil
waukee, today formally opened the German
American Catholic congress celebrant of the
pontifcal high mass. The orator was Bishop
Zardetti, of st. Cloud, Mimi. He spoke
in German. Germany he Hkened to ones father
or mother, and America he likened to
ones bride. They had left Germany, were
welded in America, aud to the latter they
should adhere. He said they should learn the lam
guage of their new country, that they were
bound also in gratitude to remember and love
the language of their mother country. The
bishop closed with an eloquent tribute
to the American flag. Following the mass
the lay portion of the congregation dispersed,
and the priests repaired to the first session of
the Priester Verein. Ii was held in strict pri-
yacy. Notwithstanding the privacy main-
tanned one of the members, Father
Hagan, OF ST. Louis, declared that nothing
had taken place during the meeting which they
would have objected to anybody knowing. The
only important proceeding WAS the adoption Of
an extended constitution. The name adopted
is the "German-American Society of Priests"
A decided sensation was caused today by the
entrance effected into the second meeting of the
Priester Verein by Father Zurcker, Of Buffalo, a
non-member, who has severely criticised the
association, calling it "un-American." Father
Zurckers presence was discovered in short
order and proceedings were suspended until he
had Withdrawn.
Mr.. Connor, OF Dubuque, spoke enthusiastic-
ally in favor of the following, which was
adopted:
RcSoluci, That in order 10 preserve and culti-
vate the German language, We recommend
Catholics TO send their children 10 such institu-
tions rs teach the German language besides the
English.
The session ended with the appointment OF a
committee on platform. At tonights session. TO

knowing the government forces would be
nassed at the border towns. They all set
their watches three hours ahead last night
so that their testimony would agree as to
the time If the claims were contested on
the ground of their being "sooners.n At
O'Clock their watches indicated the noon
hour, and they rushed over the border and
began the race for choice sections of land
"sooners" at other unguarded portions of
the border were also very numerous. and il
Is estimated that fully 5000 settlers entered
the land before the legal time.

habltants. 1t fell into the hands of a
townsite company organized here. The
president OF the Board of Trade, the presi-
dent of national bank, Mr.. Joseph Nc
Neiil and the city marshal of Guthrie
represent five of the company. This after
noon they filed at the land office a plat of
the town and the company's claim. At
an election held this afternoon McNeill
was chosen mayor. AT Tohee the boomers
waited until the noon hour before making
the rush for lots and homesteads, and the
occupation of the lands there was peace
ful.
Among the boomers at point below
Tohee was one woman who crossed the
line before the time. A deputy marshal
forced her back over the line. Soon after
ward she again crossed the line prema-
turely, and when the deputy a second time
ordered her back she drew q revolver from
her dress pocket and opened fire upon him.
The marshal returned the fire, and shot
her In the left leg just below the knee,
shattering the limb and disabling her so
that she was unable to make the race.
When the time came the others left her
under tree on this side Of the border.
She has since been brought here.
