If the pressure upon England shall be-
come so strong as TO compel her to acknowledge
the principle OF arbitration in the case of Venez-
uela. she will be bound in honor to permit tho
arbitrators to determine the dispute as it stands
The recent Ministerial announcement in tho
House of Commons that England Is willing that
there shall be arbitration regarding the owner
ship of certain territory beyond the Schomburgk
line. hut will maintain her hold upon all the
lands settled by British colonsts, is unsatisfac-
tory. 1t is an evasion. 1t ignores the most i'm
portant feature of the question that has been
raised by Venezuela. 1t merely signifies that
while England would be willing to surrender
something that is of very small consequence to
her she is determined to retain possession of
the valuable Venezuelan territory which sho
has seized. The proposition is dishonest
1T is Ncnczuela'S desire that the whole qucs-
tion in dispute between the two countries shall
be submitted to arbitration. Thus only can a
fair settlement ever be brought about.

FEARS FOR NANSEN.
The Belief is General That His Ship
Was Crushed.

The Belief is General That His Ship
Was Crushed.
LONDON, January 1.-THE Pail Mall
Gazette says grave fears regarding the
Nansen Arctic expedition are general
among Arctic voyagers of Great Britain
and Scandinavia. Lieutenant ovagard
of the Dimphna expedition, wrecked in
the Kara Sea, has expressed the opinion
to the Danish Geographical Society that
there is no question but the Tram has
been crushed in the ice, and DR.. Nansen
and his party are retreating.
The opinion is held by other travellers,
the Pail Mall Gazette also says, that DR..
Nansen after drifting for year aban-
doned his vessel, and is returning by the
nearest route in expectation OF meeting
relief expedition. DIR. Nansen left
Norway in the Tram in June, 1898.
July "a of the same year a telegram
| from Berelevaag, on the north coast oil
Norway, reported his programme as fol-
lows: To the new Siberian Islands and
thence directly north until the Tram
should be imbedded in the ice and drift
along with it, following the west coast OF
any land that might be met with. Au-
gust %, 1898, he sent a dispatch from
Vardo, which he had, written at Chara-
bowa, in the Yugorski Strait, on the I'd
of the same month, announcing that he
was about to sail into the Kara Sea and
that the Tram had behaved splendidly

WaShin gtOn.

The fourth session of the Washington
State Legislature convened Monday at
noon, and after the organization of both
Upper and Lower House an adjourn
ment was taken until Tuesday. With
the exception of three or four members
all the legislators were present, and the
Hobbies of both Houses were crowded
with spectators. Morrison OF King was
elected Speaker of the House, and the
other more important officers were
chosen in both branches. All were
elected in a formal manner, the contests
having been decided in caucus early in
the morning. The petty officers and
clerks are yet to be decided upon in the
House.
The most important features of the
first day were the adopting of a resolu-
ton in the House to reduce the salaries
OF employees 20 per cent and the adop-
ton of concurrent resolution by the
Senate, which provides for the appoint
ment OF committee to investigate the
affairs OF the Land Commissioners. The
latter says that it appears from the re-
port of the Board of Land Commissioners
and from other sources that there is good
reason for thorough examination OF
and investigation into the present meth
DDS OF conducting the States land bust
ness, and asks that a committee of five
be appointed, to consist of three men,
beers OF the House and two from the Sem
ate, which shall at once proceed to ex-
anime into and report upon the method
OF transacting business and operation oil
the respective Offices of the Board OF
Land Commissioners, the Commissioner
OF Public Lands and the several county
Boards of Tide-land Appraisers, and il
shall be the special duty of said COM
mlttee to report to the Legislature as to
whether the methods of conducting the
business in each OF the several offices re-
terred to is the best obtainable or not
whether the service OF the officers of the
State employed in the several offices re-
ferred to has been efficient and satisfac-
tory or not; whether or not any or all oil
the several offices should be CONSOLE
dated, abolished or continued. The
committee is given authority to send for
persons and papers and to administer
oaths. The resolution was adopted
unanimously.
| There has been much talk during the
/ past several months about the Land
Commission, and the fact that the reso-
luton to investigate the matter was one
of the first acts OF the Senate is being
discussed freely. The investigation
promises to be one of the most absorb
ing features of the session, and will be
awaited with interest by all people Of
the State.

Immediately rallied, and were beginning

more violent than the first, took place.
The people in the vicinity were thrown
in all directions, and the streets for half
q block around looked like battlefield.
Debris was thrown high in the air, COM
ing down half mile away. Many peo-
pie on the streets were thus injured.
The few remaining firemen were gather
ing themselves together and attempting
to escape to place of safety, when the
third and last explosion occurred. This,
too, killed and injured many people.
The whole heavens were lighted up, and
the city shook as if an earthquake was
in progress. Immediately after the first
explosion the hospital corps and police
force were summoned, and many of the
attaches OF these departments are among
those killed and injured in the subse-
quent explosions. Fifteen dead bodies
| have already been gathered together
and there doubtless are great many
more in parts of the yard that no one
dares to approach. Every member Of
the fire department was either killed OIL
wounded.
The first explosion was most terrific
and killed every fireman save two be-
longing to the central fire station. One
of these was standing behind the hose
cart horses, and the other was at water
hydrant several hundred feet away. Sc

Thurston Not Informed,

WASHINGTON, January II. L. A.
Thurston, Minister from the Hawaiian
Republic, has received no communica-
ton from Hatch, the Secretary for For
eign Affairs of the Republic, indicative
Of the latter's intention to visit Wash
ington. He said to-day that, if Hatch
were coming, some notification would
certainly be sent in advance. Thurston
said he could readily see why Hatch
should visit San Francisco in the inter-
ests of the proposed cable connecting
this country with the Hawaiian Islands
for reasons already made public, but
that he was still without information as
to the object of Hatch's mission.

International Disputes of the

i SENSATIONAL PREDICTION.

There is a Possibility of Boundary Dir

TACOMA, January 16.-The Alaskan
News, published at Juneau City, makes
the sensational prediction that Iakou
Inlet and the head OF Lynn canal Will
become famous the world over as afford
ing grounds for a fierce international
dispute between England and the United
States and a cause for arbitration by
the European powers to determine
which country shall hold possession OF
it according to the provisions OF the
Russian treaty and the subsequent
treaty purchase of Alaska by the United
States. The News says:
Each nation holds fast to different
construction of the Russian treaty, Eng
land maintaining that the boundary line
does not follow up and around the deep
inlets and BAYS as held by the United
States, but follows the general coast line
ten marine leagues in the interior, from
salt water. Great Britain sees flaw in
the treaty, and with her usual aggre,s'
siveness will endeavor to wrest from the
government at Washington the harbor'
and inlets about Juneau, so that Brit
ish seaport will hold the portal to thu
Yukon country and the undevelopec
Northwestern territory. The good re-
sulting to the commerce OF England
