End of tho Long Illness OF tho Venerable
Doorkeeper OF the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Capt. Isaac
Bassett, the venerable assistant door
keeper of the senate, died yesterday
afternoon after long illness. Since
the day of his appointment, Ga years
ago, Mr.. Bassett had never missed the
opening of a session of the senate until
this winter, when the first session of
the 54th congress began. He had full
charge of the chamber and was
conversant with all the routine. His
familiarity with the work of the sen.
ate covered every detail, and his long
service made him thoroughly familiar
with public men. His "reminiscences,
extending over half century, were
of the most interesting character, and
it had been the old gentleman's hope
to collate and publish them, but the
infirimities of age interfered.

SIGNIFICANT CONFERENCE.

Representatives Of South American Re.
publics Think the Time Opportane for .
Political Union OF the New World.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Among Sec
rotary Olney's callers yesterday were
Minister Andrade, of Venezuela; Min.
lister Mendonca, of Brazil, and Minister
Romero, of Mexico. representing three
of the first republics Of South and Gen.
trail America. Although none of the
Central and South American diplomats
will consent to be quoted regarding
their call. it is known that they, as
rule, have cabled their govern
ments that the present seems an OPP
perfume time for invoking the Monroe
doctrine as means of support against
European pressure, several of them
being involved in disputes with Euro
pean nations at this time. The state
ment is made by one of them that sew
eral important results will follow the
vigorous construction of the Monroe
doctrine. First, it is said, will be the
official adherance of the South
ern republics, making the dec
laration practically unanimous
from the countries of the
western hemisphere. 1t is pointed out
that Lord Salisbury insisted that the
Monroe doctrine was not recognized
as international law, but this, it is
said, will be answered by showing
that all the republics of North and
South America accept it as the law
governing them.
The project of another conference
of American republics in line with the
Pan-American conference, but with .
view to political alliance rather than
commercial reciprocity, is being dis
cussed also. The suggestion is made
with much directness in diplomatic
circles that the course of the United
States assures to it the moral and phys
zeal support of all the Southern and
Central American republics. In the
aggregate this allied strength of the
western republics, with the United
States at its head, would constitute
new and formidable factor in interna-
tional affairs. 1t is not suggested
among diplomatists that such an ALI.
ance will take the form of a treaty,
but it is urged that the feeling of
union existing constitutes a compact
quite as effective as formal under

How She May by Flank Movement Settle
the boundary Dispute.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. - President
Cleveland had many callers yesterday,
mostly senators and representatives,
who came to congratulate him upon
the attitude he had assumed in his
message. Secretary Olney also had
his share of callers. Although there
is nowhere a suggestion of any
Abatement of our claims, and,
indeed, it is generally recognized
that by announcing his deter.
mination to hold Great Britain
outside Of the boundary to be defined
by our own commission, the president
has left no avenue for retreat, it is still
confidently believed here that the diff.
ticulty can and will be settled peace.
ably and with honor to all parties con.
cerned. This belief is based upon the
expectation that Great Britain, as
Lord Salisbury has indicated in
his last note, will re-establish
diplomatic relations with Vene.
zuela As the revolution in that
country has been queiled and the in
ternal peace Lord Salisbury demanded
as condition to a resumption OF
Venezuelan negotiations is restored,
he will treat the subject, it is be.
lieved, and as he practically promises
in his note, in a more compliant spirit
than the British government has ex.
hibited heretofore in the negotiations,
and thus speedily reach an arrange
ment satisfactory to Great Britain and
Venezuela, and so, as natural result,
acceptable to the United States.
In this way Great Britain would
avoid any concession of the right of a
third party to interpose and likewise
escape an admission of the acceptable
ity or applicability of the Monroe doc.
trine. 1t is entirely probable that
Great Britain will abstain from pre-.
senting any evidence in support of her
title to the commission, for by so do
ing she would admit our right to inter.
pose, which is the vital point in the
controversy, SO that the commission
report is likely to fall subject to the
same criticism that Lord Salisbury ap.
piled to Secretary Olney's statement,
namely, that it is ex parte and based
entirely on the Venezuelan records.
One source of present danger which
gives some apprehension to the ele'
ment that looks for a peaceful solu.
ton of the problem lies with the Vene.
zuelans themselves. as it is feared that,
carried away by enthusiasm, they may
be led to attack the British outposts OF
the Yuruan.

Twenty-four Men Lose Their Lives by an
Explosion of Fire Damp.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec 21.-A special
from Chattanooga says: Twenty-four
miners lost their lives yesterday in the
Nelson mine entry No. 10, near Dayton,
Tenn, by an explosion of fire damp
The explosion was succeeded by
terrific crash, which indicated
that the roof of the passage
through which they had entered had
fallen in. No avenue of escape was left
and there is no possibility that any Of
the men will be found alive. The men
are both white and colored, including
several boys. They entered the mine
to 60 to work at seven o'clock yester.
day morning, but nothing of the awful
catastrophe was known until II o'clock,
when the drivers entered No. 10 found
their way blocked by a solid wall Of
coal and slate. The Nelson mine has
been wol ked for 10 years and the entry
where the unfortunate miners are en-
tombed ran back more than two miles
from the mouth of the mine.
