PROOF ENOUGH.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Oct. 21.-The Of
ficers and clerks of the United States
land office in this city are greatly
amused over an unusual affidavit
which has found it's way into their
place of business lately in the contest
case of Alonzo w. Keyes VS.. Sarah
Langen, the plaintiff having filed an
affidavit of the death of the contestee.
He swears that he does not know the
present postoffice address or where
abouts of the contestee, and DR.. N. K
Whittemore, of Elk River, follows with
this somewhat remarkable affidavit:
This is to certify that Sarah Ian
gen, supposed to be single, died on
Feb. s, 1895. 1 have no memorandum
stating just the cause of death, and
have had more to think about in car
ing for the living than thinking about
the dead. However, / am quite GER
tain that she is dead, and have certi-
fed to that fact at least once before.
She was a patient of mine, and that
ought to at least give me authority to
know whereof 1 speak, and possibly
that ought to be sufficient guarantee
that she is dead"

SILVER IN STRONG DEMAND.
Authorities Say the Improvement
VIII BE Steady.

. NEW YORK, Oct. 21-The author
tiles on silver look for a steadily i'm
proving demand for the metal for
some time to come. The willingness
of Japan to accept the indemnity
from China in silver contributed
largely on the Improvement in it's
price, which has been noted dur
ing the last few months, and the ac-
cumulation of the metal in London
will go on in order to complete the
installments of the indemnity at the
various dates of payment. Mr..
Townsend, of the Hong Kong bank,
confirms this view, and reports in
an interview that the bank is about
to make a large shipment of silver
to China. Both China and Japan
are showing increasing inquiry for
silver, as the large amounts of the
metal distributed by both countries
in payment of war material and sup
plies has been diverted to India and
other silver countries. Mr.. Town
send adds that the silver was or
dered two months ago, and has only
just been delivered. The silver smelt-
ers are said to be sold ahead for two
months. Japan is minting most of
it's silver money.

DETERMINED TO TAKE 1T.
The Official Statement Covers the
Entire Question.

The Official Statement Covers the
Entire Question.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Of1cials
of the diplomatic corps who are in
a position to speak with full under
standing ON the Venezuelan question,
upon a careful reading of the Off
cial statement of the British Office,
made. public today, say that it is a
decisive rejection of the claims made
by Venezuela and negative an
swer to the requests of the United
States that the subject be submit
ted to arbitration. The essential
feature of the foreign office state
ment is pointed out to be Great
Britain will not permit Venezuela
to overstep the line made by the
Amacura and Cuyuni rivers" but
will submit to arbitration the other
territory in dispute. 1t is stated that,
as there is no other territory in dis
pute, the British denial of arbitra-
tion is comprehensive and complete.
The line made by the Amacura and
Cuyuni rivers is PRACTICAL what is
known as the Schomberg line. In
cluded within it is all the territory
on the south bank and at the mouth
of the Orinoco river The British
already occupy the north bank, so
that the official assertion of their
claim to the south bank gives them
the entire entrance to the great
waterway of South America. .Includ-
ed also within the line of the two
rivers is large p!art-probably one
half-of the tract recently granted
by Venezuela to a United States SYM
dicate. Under the foregoing circun1-
stances the statement of the foreign
office is said to sweep aside, all basis
of compromise or arbitrat ton. such
as the United States has urged, and
to be a final insistance of British
sovereignty over the essential ter
ritory covering and commanding the
south bank of the Orinoco.
The landing of British marines at
Cor1nto is regarded as a precedent
Of the course Great Britain NAV
take, and in anticipation of this DOS
sibility officials are comparing the
relative strength of the forces which
might be brought together. The Brit
ish have a fleet of sixteen war ships
available in the North and South
Atlantic. Venezuela's seaports are
fairly we'll fortified, and she can put
$4,000 we'll armed troops in the field.
The official statement from London
fails to elicit. any responsive state
ment from the state department, and
the officials, under Secretary Ofney's
instructions, persist in preserving an
absolute silence upon the whole sub
Ject of the Venezuelan affair, pos
slbly deeming it prudent to learn
as much as they can of the British
position without disclosing our own
stand. There is some reason to be-
heve, that there is a disposition on
the part of the British foreign office
to Shift the issue if it is possible to
Go SO, and, without re1inquishing any
ground directly upon the boundary
dispute, ITO make the main issue their
demand for reparation for the treat
ment accorded the colonial chief of
ponce at Uruan some months ago.

victory. The nominee is Aid. Sam
Goldwater, a labor candidate, who re-
ceived fifty-one votes, to thirty-four
for Dickinson, on the first ballot. The
division which has existed throughout
Michigan between the referees or ad-
ministration Democrats and anti
referees, held in Detroit, assumed the
more personal nature of Dickinson
versus Daniel J. CaInpau, ex-state
chairman. In today's convention the
anti-administration men tried to force
the nomination of Dickinson, for the
very purpose, it is alleged, of having
him thrown down" by running him
up against the Pingree boom, which
has attained a tremendous velocity in
the present campaign. The federal Of
ficeholders and other Dickinsonians
today fought this effort, with ultimate
success after a hard struggle. The
convention was further racked with
an attempt by some leaders to have
Pingree indorsed, but this did not sue
ceed.
