A Difference of Opinion.

DR.. A. Ritcher, member for Lycom.
ing county Of the State Board Of
Health, has ordered the Pennsylvania
railroad to remove 1000 feet of the
embankment at the river bridge east
of Williamsport This embankment,
it is contended, is the cause of much
of the overflow in times of high water
in the Susquehanna river. Superin-
tendant Robert Nelson says the idea
of DR.. Ritcher is foolish. The rail
road runs upon the top of the embank-
ment.

rAR1FE AND RoAn BILLS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-The Re
publican senators have devoted con-
siderable time during the past few days
TO Informal conferences concerning the
House tariff and bond bills It is gen
orally admitted that both bills will
encounter very serious obstacles in the
Senate, largely on account of the silver
sentiment in that body. This sentiment
is so strong that it has been feared
by the anti-silver men that it would
result in a free silver amendment to
the bill. 1t has been suggested that
one of the bills might be sacrificed
for the purpose of getting the other
through. 1t is believed by some that
if the bond bill can first be considered
and free coinage I'LL substituted for
1t and passed, the fret coinage Repub-
hcans will then consent. to allow the
tariff bill to pass without the silver
and it is upon this line
that the friends of the tariff bill are
now proceeding. Some of the silver
Republicans have indicated a willing
ness to consider this suggestion. but
others of them express doubts as to
its feasibility

CHICAGO. Dec 27.-Robert T. Lin
coin, who has been asked to serve on
the Venezuelan boundary commission,
had not returned home last night, al
though il was reported that he had
left New York enty-four hours pre-
Viously. In the absence of definite
utterance from Mr.. Lincoln, a recently
d published interview with him will be
found interesting and significant. In
this he said:
AS congress now has the matter in
hand, we may see in the near future
some action toward the settlement of
the boundary question in Nenezuela. l
think it was in 1891. while L was minis
ter to England that this government
asked me 10 act as intermediary in
boundary line dispute between England
and Venezuela mot the dispute now
spoken OF. Dr.. Pulido came from
Venezuela as commissioner and | acted
rs intermediary, as instructed, holding
my audiences with the Marquis or
Salisbury. The latter offered TO arbi-
trate the question at that time, but
the Venezuelan emiSSary declined to
accept any settlement other than a
fixed line marked on his official charts.
This broke off diplomatic relations and
ended my position in the matter DR.
Pulido returned to Caracas, the Vene-
zuelan minister to Great Britain was
recalled and England acted likewise
With. that ended the negotiations,
England lost no time in reaching out
fol more extensive boundary lines
The boundary upon which l was asked
to assist in making settlement is far
10 the east OF this present alleged en-
croachment In this section are said
to be gold mines of great richness so
that an extensive field is offered to
British enterprise.
L believe in the Monroe doctrine in
connection with the Venezuelan troub-
les provided this government is pre-
pared to enforce it.
