WASHINGTON, Dec. "a. - President
Cleveland is devoting a large part of
his time to the consideration of the
personnel of the Venezuelan boundary
commission, to the exclusion of practi-
cally all other public matters, includ-
ing that of another bond issue, which
latter matter he regards as temporarily
at least in the hands of congress. In
making his selection of the boundary
commission the president, it is said,
will be guided by only one considera-
ton. that the members should be men
of international reputation for high
character and intellectual attainments.
He will use the greatest care in his Sc
lections for the reason that it is ex-
pected the work of the commission will
he largely of an ex-parte nature, and
hence the character of the commission
must be such as to command for their
conclusions the full confidence and re-
Spect of all nations. 1t is thought that
the president is especially anxious that
Chief Justice Fuller of the United
States supreme court, should lead the
commission, but there are said to be
reasons why it would not be eXpedient
for the chief justice to relinquish, even
for short time, his place as presiding
officer of the court. The matter, how
ever, it is believed, has not yet been
definitely settled, and Mr.. Fuller still
may be called on to form one of the
commission.

Buffalo Commercial.
John r. Chaplin, now of Buffalo,
gives some interesting "reminiscences
of Walter Hunt, who. in the opinion
of many, including Mr.. Chaplin, was
the real inventor of the sewing ma
chine. Let me close" he says, with
an anecdote of his talent in the line
of invention. He came into my Of

ing quite down-hearted, and to my
inquiry, What's the matter, Mr..
Hunt?' he replied, L owe you SIS,
don't I, Chaplin? Well, I've not a

where to get one Upon my assur-
ance that it did not matter, he said:
Yes, but L don't know where to get

WANTED AT MOORHEAD.
NeIs Pierson, Charged With Lnr-
ceny. Under Arrest.

ceny. Under Arrest.
Nels Pierson residing at 9W Free
mont street, was yesterday arrested by
Capt. Hanft, of the Margaret street
station, and is being held awaiting the
arrival of Sheriff Bodkin, of Clay coun-
ty, where he will be taken today to
answer to the charge of grand larceny
preferred by Stephen Wold, citizen
of Moorhead. The articles alleged to
have been stolen are buggy pole ana
set of harness, valued at $25.
Pierson was harvesting near Moor
head last fall, when the theft is said
to have taken place, and at the end
of the season drove home to st. Paul,
utilizing, it is alleged, the stolen arti-
cles as part of his travelling outfit
Where he obtained the horse and bug
gy is not known.
Last Thursday Capt. Hanft hearing
Pierson was at his home, went to ar
rest him. When he arrived his man
had "flown," but a search of the stable
revealed evidence of his late presence.
In the manger were the mutilated re-
mains of a horse, in fact the animal
had been cut into such small pieces
as to be scarcely recognizable. In one
corner the hoofs were found, and other
parts of the animal were also found.
Pierson claims that the harness was
loaned him and that he bought the
horse-a cripple-from some one in this
city Sheriff Bodkin telegraphed last
night that he would be in st. Paul
after his prisoner today.

Gigantic Lizards,

One must. stretch his fancy almost to
the breaking point to imagine a lizard
100 feet in length, but that such a
creature formerly existed in various
parts of the United States there is not
the least doubt. The remains of such
enormous reptiles have been found in
Colorado, Arizona, Oregc1, Montana,
South Dakota, Maryland, Virginia and
the two Carolinas. Tney belonged to
a family of extinct reptiles known to
the biologists as dinosaurs, and the re-
mains found in the mari beds of the
four last states ment oned above prove
that the western varieties were much
the larger. Prof. o. G. Marsh, of Yale
college, found d;losaur rem.Cns in
Colorado from which he restored a
skeleton upward of 125 feet in length
The largest found in the eastern s.arI
beds was less than 50 feet in length.

Strong Reasons Why England
Should APbitrute,

NEW YORK, Dec. A.-Following is
the full text of Andrew Carnegie's
communication cabled to the London
Times and published this morning:
Editor of the Times, London-A
very great power has declined arbitra-
ton in a boundary dispute with very
weak power, because part of the ter
ritory in dispute has been settled by
it's citizens, whom it is bound to hon
or and protect. The great power might,
however have offered to accept peace
full arbitration for the whole dispute.
provided value was first agreed upon,
or that arbitration should fix one on
the settled territory, continued possess
sion of which was held necessary.
Thus would the principal of arbitra-
ton have been upheld and honor
doubly protected; title is protected by
honorable purchase, if Unexpectedly
found defective, and all her citizens
securely guarded. There should be
little difficulty in securing arbitration
in this form through your able am
bassador at Washington, aided by the
good offices of your kindred nation,
whose services in your recent dispute
with Nicaragua had so happy an issue.
Perhaps a price could be obtained
without arbitration, although this is
less probable and infinitely less de-
sirable, since arbitration is the pre-
cious jewel of our age and should not
be discarded.
'"Those who have seen the Christian
substitute for barbarouS war. at least
so far as boundary disputes were con-
cd hIIt
people of England would favor arb!-
tration with weak and helpless Vene-
zuela, thus rendered compatible in
any event with the performance with
all her honorable obligations. and re-
duced simply to question of pay
ment to perfect her title if found de-
fective by impartial arbitrators after
careful investigation. This is a mat
ter at present resting solely between
England and Venezuela, as far as ar
bitration is now concerned, but that
it would be hailed by the American
people as a just mode of settlement
and restore unclouded friendship be-
tween the two great Anglo-SaXon ma
tions should not ensure it less careful
or less favorable consideration.
''In this crisis. when the passions of
men are so wildly stirred, it is i'm
tions between the two nations that
embrace all our race, but it Is all i'm
portant for the people of both lands to
remember that the deplorable irrita-
ton now existing has it's whole cause
in the refusal of peaceable arbitrat ton
upon a point of honor, which it is
held renders the continued possession
of some disputed territory necessary.
but which can readily be safeguarded
and yet arbitration be made the in
strument of peaceful and honorable
settlement for all parties concerned.

Rufus Golf, who has charge of the
Standard Lumber companyS business
In the woods, returned from Partridge
yesterday and sums up the situation
as follows: "a very large amount of
skidding has been done and some con-
Germs are busy hauling, in fact, most
of them, but snow was never needed
worse than 1t is now. They are haul
ing about 1900 feet to the load, and
this is all that can be hauled because
the SwampS are too soft in spots. If
we could get four or five inches of
snow within the next forty-eight
hours, you would see an unusual ac-
tivity in the camps"
The Kings Daughters did a noble
work among the poor and destitute of
this city yesterday. A large amount
of food, clothing, delicacies and other
necessities were donated by the char
liable people of the city and members
of the Kings Daughters were busy
yesterday making an equal distrfbu-
ton. About thirty families were help
ed, and all received a bountiful sup

HONEST MARTIN BAlMANN
Returns Check to Which He
Thinks He ISN'T Entitled

Returns Check to Which He
Thinks He Isn't Entitled.
That there is at least one strictly
honest man in the state of Minnesota
was proven yesterday afternoon by the
following letter. which was received
by State Auditor Dunn, from Martin
Baumann, of Sleepy Eye:
Hon. r. c.. Dunn, State Auditor, st.
Paul. M:nn.-Dear Sir: Martin Bau-
mann, the payee in attached warrant,
desires us to state that after a reSur-
vey of his grove he finds that an er-
ror of about half an acre was made
in the measurement of same. That it
is only one and a half acres. He also
states that during the dry season last
fall and summer number of the trees
died. He feels that under the cir
cumstances he would rather not ac-
cept any bounty and hereby directs
you to return the warrant into the
state treasury and cancel his claim and
order to same. Very truly,
Martin Baumann.
Some little time ago a warrant for
$3.50 was sent to Baumann from the
auditors office, in payment of a tree
bounty to which he was entitled un-
der the law. The warrant was inclosed
in the letter, as Baumann thinks he
was not entitled to the amount from
the fact that some of his trees died.

ATLANTIC DEFENSEs.
Immediate Steps to strengthen
Southern Ports.


WASHINGTON, Dec. M.-It is now
learned that the main purpose of Gen.
Miles visit to the cities of the South
Atlantic coast was to ascertain by per-
sonal inspection the actual condition
of the coast defenses in that section,
and to call the attention of the South
ern people to the exposed position they
would occupy in the event of hostn-
tiles He was particularly impressed
with the antiquated condition of the
defenses at Fort Monroe. which are
relied upon not only to guard the ma
tiorsal capital and Baltimore, Norfolk
and Richmond from attack by water,
but even more to form an impregnable
base of naval operations and as re-
fuge for our warships in the event that
they are forced to retire before an
overwhelming hostile naval force. AL
though the war department has very
little money available it probably VIII
take immediate steps to improve the
defenses there, relying on sufficient ap-
preparations from the present congress
to restore the works to the standing
they had at the breaking out OF the
Civil war namely. one of the stTon-
est systems of defense in the world.

lieved that the president now has 1t
under consideration. The fact that Mr..
J stice Harlan, of the United States SUI

ward his name in connection with the

good reasons to believe that his name

whether he would accept is by no

Bunker j. Picrpont Morgan Goes

NEW YORK, Dec. PA local pa
per says: j. P. Morgan, who
with August Belmont organized the

Bankers who knew of his departure,
and who are also aware of the infor-

had during the last week between
President Cleveland and the prominent
bankers in this city are of the opinion
that Mr.. Morgan went over to Wash

so by the president. If this is is so,
it would seem to indicate that the pres

AUTHORS APPEAL FOR PEACE.
War without Cause and the Sc
1ueI Lasting DishOnOr.


LONDON. Dec. 24-An appeal has
been issued by British authors, signed
with 1900 names, to their confer5es in
the United States. The names include
those of Sir Walter Besant, John Nor
lev. John Ruskin, Hall Caine, Rider
Haggard. Sir Edwin Arnold, George
Meredith. Prof. W. E. H. Lecky, Mar
tin Conway. r. D. Blackmore, Will
lam Nilack and Alfred Austin. The
appeal says:
AT this crisis in the history of the
Anglo-SaXon race there are two paths.
One leads we know whittier, but in the
end through war, with all its accom-
paniments of carnage, unspeakable
suffering and hideous desolation, to
the inevitable sequel of hatred, bit
1erness and disruption of our race. 1t
is this path we ask you to join US in
an effort to make impossible. Not on
the grounds of political equity do We
address you; but we are united to you
by many ties. We are proud of the
United States. There is nothing in our
history that has earned us more glory
than the conquest of the vast Amer
lean continent by the Anglo-SaXon
race. When our pride is humbled by
a report of something that you do
better than ourselves, ii. is also up
lifted by the consciousness that you
are our kith and kim
Aftsr dwelling upon the intimate ties
of relationship and brotherly senti-
ment, the appeal continues:
There is no anti-American feelin.s
among Englishmen. It is Impossible
that there can be any ant:-knglish
feeling among Americans. For two
such nations to take UP arms woIld
be civil war, not differing from your
calamitcus struggle of thirty years
ago, except that the cause were i'm
measurably less humane, less tragic
and less inevitable"
DISHONOR OF LITERATURE.
After referring to the tie that licra-
ture makes the appeal concludes:
IF war should occur between Eng
land and America, English literature
would be dishonored and disfgured for
a century to come Patriotic songs,
histories of victory and defeat, records
of humilia ton and disgrace, stories of
burning wrongs and unavenged in
Sults-theSe would be branded deep in
the hearts of our peoples They would
so express themselves in poems, novels
and plays as to make 1t Impossible
for any of us who live through the
fratricidal war to take up again the
former love and friendship for the
united Anglo-SaXon race that owns the
great names of Cromwell, Washington,
Nelson. Gordon, Grant, Shakespeare
and Milton. There is such a future as
no other race has had in the history
of the worlds. future that will be
built on the confedera ton of sovereign
