VENEZUELAN TANGLE.

The Matter will Come Before Congress
Early in the Session. '~"
WAsH1NGTGN, Oct. 14.-The manner
in which the Venezuelan question is to
be brought before congress has been
outlined in general way by those who
have been most interested in the sub
ject. This will be by means Of reso-
luton to be introduced, it is probable,
on the first day of the session. 1t will
provide for the appointment of a COM
mittee of six, three from the senate and
three from the house, to consider the
entire question and to report as to the
rights and obligations of the. United
States and course desirable for this gov
eminent to take.
This resolution, it is said, will not de-
lay a SPEEDY determination of the atti-
tude Of the United States. The pur-
pose is to have all necessary material,
in the way Of historical data, ready for
the committee as soon as tits appointed,
and it is expected that a report will be
made to both branches of congress be-
fore the holiday recess.

PIERRE, S. D., Oct. 14-Justice Fuller
read the opinion Of the court on the
Taylor case. The decision holds that
section 1865, the II year sentence, is i'll
valid in form, q skeleton i'll sub
ject and inanimate; that sections 6797,
6799 and 6S07, the general embezzle-
ment laws, apply only to officers Of
corporations, public Or private, and that
the state is neither, but a body polite.
He states that the accused had the
money in his possession not SIS Oil agent,
executor, etc., but as a portion OF the
sovereign government Of the state;
that state treasurer is custodian.
The offense must come under section
669S, against the revenue laws
of the state, and not under general en-
bezzlement laws, and under that section
it can only be for two years. AS no new
sentence has been pronounced, the SEN
tence will begin at IL noon Aug. ID, and
as there will be four months good time,
it will be only for eighteen months.

Harrison's Advice Concerning His Presi-
Dental Aspirations.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 14.-When ex-
President Harrison was in this city the
other day attending meeting of the
board of trustees of Purdue university,
of which he is a member, he made
q statement concerning his position
with reference to the presi-
Dental nomination, which is probably
as nearly definite expression as can be
had from him. The story has just
leaked out, and is well authenticated.
Asked by friend in this city if he was
q candidate, General Harrison said:
''See Colonel New; he appears to
know all about it.
The general then disclaimed any re-
sponsibility for published articles, and
declined in positive terms to make
known his intentions, ending with the
words: ~.'5'-
"When you see my signature to any
statement, then you will know it is the
orwell, the genuine sarsaparilla."

with the old cannon and ammunition
wagon standing as in 1854, save that IT

reservoir is turned into great lake,
with steam launch, pleasure boats and g
bathing beach. And the city itself is on
the highest ground between the Missis-
sippi and Atlantic Of any place Of its
size, Denver being the only city of its
size which is higher. So October is al

layed, especially the Midway plaisance.
They had all heard Of that The very
fow of their class who had got to Chica-
20 could tell them but little Of the VOL
derful foreign displays and nothing at
all abouy the still more wonderful Art
hall and it's 1000 pictures and statues,
but they could tell all about Cairo street
and the Al erian dance, and the Ger
man village, and the ostriches and In
dams and wild Daho1neyans and con-
gress of pretty women. So tho ruralists
rushed to the plaisance to encounter sour
looks, hear strange oaths in nine Ian
guages and see confusion.
The Mexican amphitheatert they found
empty and unfinished, but the conces-
sionnaire still swears he will have bull
fight or big damages. Where they look
ed for graceful hours Of the orient in
voluptuous pose they found grimy work
men hammering and painting, and in
the bazaar a negress, who looked as ii
she might weigh $50 pounds, sewing on
the last decorations. AS a spectator put
it, "They went to see Fatima and found
fat Amy" And so on around most OF
that section, which is but now really
ready for visitors. Of course they swore
and received as good az they gave, each
party fortunately ignorant of the others
full meaning. Such phrases as "sa-
pristi,'' "caraha, " "sacrr-e," "gott-
vertamn" and "kellur-r bismillah' flew
about with reckless vigor and were
pleasantly varied at intervals by good,
healthy Georgian "damn!' In the end
the ruralists were all the better for it, as
they put in their time looking at better
things and gained Impressions to last
them for life. In the Government build
ing they saw an exhibit worth crossing
the continent to see. In the California
building they found All array of fruits,
flowers and woods which amazed even
the best informed. In machinery, trans
portatioD and electricity they were
equally charmed and instructed, but in
the Art hall they gave but passing
glance, as a rule. 1t is "caviare to the
general.
Ten days before the opening it was
evident that the population Of Atlanta
was increasing. Exhibitors and visitors
came in increasing numbers, fakirs and
cheap Johns of all varieties set up on
the vacant lots, the popular evening re-
sorts were thronged. and the principal
streets were crowded like lower Broad
way. A little later visitors seemed in no
hurry for the exposition grounds, but
looked at Atlanta and its surroundings.
And they saw great deal. Not only is
this vicinity most agreeably diversified
with hill and dale, park and native
woodland, as Chicago is not, but his

city in interest as Quebec is ahead of

COSTA RIGA BUILDING.

COSIA RlCA
and about 200 men, and OH the day the
main part Of them arrived Atlanta was
almost as much excited as if the celestial
emperor himself had come It would be
worth 81 to hear my vigorous friend
Geary, author Of the exclusion act, ex-
press himself concerning this trick.
It was wonderful sight when the
customs inspectors got their books ready
and the foreigners began to unpack.
Four hundred and forty-five big boxes
aud packing cases in one day were dis
charged into the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts building. Venetian glass
ware, Italian statuary, hand carved fur
niture, curios Of almost endless variety
and 200 sorts of Milanese specialties, so
kinds Of silk and as many varied mix
lures of silk, wool and linen, and tho
long lines of articles classed by Mrs.
Paul Potiphar as ''bigotry and virtue. y
On the same day several of tho state
and minor buildings had not an ar
ticle in place, and all around the
grounds the big 'Trilbys" and
graces, c1pids and farms, with For
tuna, Columbia, Dea Georgia and
all the Greek goddessas III metal
which were to ornament the high fronts,
still lay in the dirt in most ungoddcss-
like attitudes. 1t is really wonderful
that SO much was done III time. Costa
RIGA had all her exhibits in place in less
than three days after they were opened.
Arkansas had nearly all her stuff so
artistical]y packed that it went to the
right place and was ready to look at as
fast as unpacked. The fanciful and ar
tistic designs wrought Of the cereals and
grasses of the state are much finer than
any it exhibited at Chicago. All these
are in her part Of tho Agricultural
building.
In the same building are many other
unique designs to represent certain Sec
tions Of the south. The Seaboard Air
Line railroad has relief map exhibit
ing the country through which the road
runs from Portsmouth, Va, here, and a
miniature train traverses the fields and
runs into facsimile Of the Union depot
the same that sarcastic photographers
refer to as the "Atlanta car she'd" An
interesting little thing in this neighbor-
hood is the miniature cotton gin, from
which the lint is seen falling into a
glass case, 90 the visitor can see the en-
tire process. It seems little odd that
the finest, at any rate the most unique,
booth in this building should be that Of
q Cincinnati distilling company, and
that the designer Of 1t is lady Of that
city. Yet so it is, and though the Access
series of whisky are made prominent in
the fnishings the general effect is ex-
tremely pretty. As to the mere amuse-
ments, those on the inside linger behind
the general show, but on the outside,
oh, my! In truth, they are 80 numerous
