The Venezuela Dispute.
WASHINGTON Dec -

w dSi1luS lOu, O0C- IL.
Members of Congress who are
interested in the Venezuelan dis
pute with great Britain say this
morning that President Crespo
will be guided IN making his re-
ply to Lord Salisbury by the
suggestions Of this government.
Lord Salisbury's note, it has
been reported, asked the pay
ment Of $50, 900 as a compensa-
ton for the arrest Of the British
Colonial officers year ago, an
episode which has passed into
history as the ''Uruan incident. "
That President Crespo will re
fuse to pay this indemnity is Gel
tain. That he will be SO ad-
vised by Secretary Olney is
equally certain. 1t is said to-
day that his reply in substance
will show the arrest of Sergeant
Barnes and his associates to have
been an outgrowth Of the boun-
Diary question, which must first
be settled before any of it's Incl
dental features can be consider
ed. Such reply, it is asserted,
would force Great Britain to
meet the issue without further
equivocation or delay.

Texas Antitrust Law.
Waco, Texas, Dec. 1:

Waco, Texas, Dec. 12.
The trial Of what is known as
the Standard Oil Trust indict-
ments came to an end to-day E.
Il. Hathaway, of Dennison, Tex
as, agent al that point for the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company, al
legged to be a member Of the
Standard Oil Trust, was convict
ed of violating the anti~trust
statute of Texas. The jury as
sessed his penalty at $50 fine.
The verdict is generally received
with much surprise.
There are four other defend
ants awaiting trial, and the in
dictments include Messrs. Rocke-
feller, Flagler and the leading
Standard and Waters Pierce Oil
Companies officials, though none
of them have been arrested. the
case will be appealed at once and
the much-disputed question of
the constitutionality OF the Texas
anti-trust law will be thoroughly
tested.

The Republican Convention.

Washington. December 12.-
The main details Of the Republi-
can National Convention at st.
Louis on June 10Th were per-
fected DIT meeting to day Of the
sub committee appointed last
night to take charge of arrange
ments. Messrs. Kerens and
Thompson, representing St.
Louis, were present at the meet-
ing, and gave assurances that
the plans proposed would be
speedily executed.
The committee agreed that the
seating arrangements of the St.
Louis Exposition Building need
ed remCdeling. AT present the
rostrum is at one end Of the vast
hall, SO that people at the other
end are too far away TO hear
what is going on. It was decided
to have the rostrum placed mid
way and at one side Of the hall,
with the seats Of delegates ar
ranged accordingly. The altera>
tions Of the building probably
will cost $15. ZOO.
The sub mittee adjourned
to meet in ST. Louis the latter
part of January, the date to be
announced hereafter.

In speaking seriously of this occurrence
a local Southampton historian, whose work

he only wanted to remain over night. as he
intended to 20 to the hospital the next
morning.
Superintendent Dunn said he did not ex-
pect there would be any great number of
tramps here this winter, although last year
there was no scarcity Of them. They are
being better provided for in the north, he
said, and the consideration shown them
will, in Mr.. Dunn's opinion, not hasten
their departure for a warmer climate.

speaking of Boston, It's common would hide

Nature and a lot of royal and ducal. and
baronial cutthroats, together with a job
lot of monks of the middle ages, did a great
deal toward making Southampton one Of
the most interesting places my inexperi-
enced self has ever seen. 1t is full of nice,
decent people, divine, wrath-fearing, police
fearing people. 1t Is safe to go anywhere
at any time. There seems to be only an in
finitesimal element of rowdyism. while as
for crime, it Is almost unknown. An occa-
sional drunken brawl among sailors and
landlubberS appears to be the most impOr-
tant sort of case that the police constables
have to contend with. The police are q
very decent set too, and by wise provi-
sion of their superiors wear abbreviated
lightning rods on their helmets They have
little to do except draw their pay, and that
can't be a very heavy task. considering

to loll around and see odd and curious
sights. but to even retain an impression is q
hardship. There is no hurry perceptible
anywhere-not even by the natives to col
lect bills from the stranger almost depart
ing from town.
There is another good point about the
Southamptonisns; while they do not speak
English that is altogether Ineligible to the
ordinary Yankeeman, they hold on to the

of emergency But they speak very broad

From the Boston Journal
An apostle of physical culture says that
an excellent and never-failing cure for ner-

backward. Ten minutes is as long as is
usually necessary to promenade. 1t some
times, however. requires more than ten
minutes to walk at all, if one is very
"nervols.' But it is not understood that
1t is necessary to walk chalkiine. Any
kind of walking will do, provided it is
backward. 1t is well to get in a long, mar
