All Of a sudden Guyon jumped behind

Guyon fired a bullet into his face.
Donnell fell, and Guyon, thinking he
was dead, fed.

House Resolution Will Not Pass the
Senate With q Rush.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1s.-The Post
tomorrow will say:
The resolution which the House
passed yesterday with unanimity pro-
viding for the commission to Venezuela
in accordance with the recommendation
of the president, will be laid before the
Senate today. Contrary to the general
expectation it will not he passed by
that body. In addition to this the reso-
luton passed by the House for adjourn
ment for the holiday recess to begin
next Friday, will not be agreed to by
the Senate. Congress will be in session
until next Tuesday, at tine present out
look, and it may be here until even a.
later date.
The reasons given for it's failing to
pass promptly are that the Republican
senators and many of the Democrats
are opposed to give the president all
the power which would be invested in
him by the resolution. 1t will be in
sisted, says the Post, that the COM
mission shall be nominated and con-
firmed tby the Senate, instead Of having
them named by the president without
any check upon his selection. In addi-
ton to this, the point WAS made in the
caucus yesterday that there was In the
House resolution no limitation as to the
time when the commissioners should re-
port, and this was felt to be an over
sight which should be remedied.

VENEZUELAN QUESTION.
Senate Committee Will Sit During
the HOLIDAYS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today de-
cided to sit during the holiday recess for
the consideration OF the Venezuelan ques-
ton in its entirety. 1t is the intention to
take it up in all its phases and to that
end they will have before them all reports
and documents bearing upon the subject.
The result of this inquiry, in all proba-
bility, will be a resolution defining the
position of the United States on the Ven
ezuelan dispute, coupled with a declara-
ton of the Monroe doctrine.
The Republicans will continue their
efforts to have the committee filed be-
fore the adjournment for the holidays in
order to give The proceedings full weight.
There is no doubt expressed in any quar-
ter that congress will grant the request
of the president to be allowed to appoint
q commission to consider the question,
but the feeling in congress appears TO be
that congress should also conduct an in
quiry of its own.
1t would not be necessary, it is said at
the senate, for the committee to leave the
United States, as all the maps. surveys,
treaty and other documents are said to
be available at Washington. 1t is pre-
sumed that the Venezuelan government
would be found willing to supply any pa
pers in its possession that might be
wanted
There is also talk of the necessity Of
completing the organization of the com
mfttee on naval affairs with the view OF
having it sit during the recess

NEW YORK Dec. 19.-Selema Du
Chan, an Arabian of Brooklyn, has
just received letter from his sister in
Jerusalem, telling of threatened
wholesale massacre in that place by
the Turkish government. The letter
says:
If England goes to war with Tur-
key Christians here will be murdered
by the Mohammedans. America is the
best place in the world. but we cannot
go there now as it is too late. We NAV
all be killed in a few weeks. We are
willing to die, though, for Gods holy
will. I am glad you are safe in Amer
lea. Take care and don't come back
here, as you will surely be killed.
Mr.. Wallace, the American consul.
will soon start for the United States,
and he would gladly take some of us
along II he only dared. If we at
tempted to move from here the Turks
would become suspicious and kill u.s."
Mr.. Du Chan frequently takes parties
ON expeditions through the Holy Land
and Egypt. He has become an Amer
lean citizen and for this reason fears
he may lose his life if he returns to
his native country. He has been in
America at intervals amounting in all
to a period of sixteen years. He was
born in Ramath, Gilead, and when 4
years old his parents moved to Jeru-
salem. He was educated at Mount
Zion in one Of the English schools. He
took a party through Palestine few
years ago.
Mr.. Du Chan declared last night
that he would take a party of Amer
lean tourists to the Holy Land the
first week in January, despite the fact
that his life may be in danger.
