RumOr in Venezuela That Eng
land Would Arbitrate.
That She is Afraid of the United
States After All.
RUMORNOTCONFIRMED
Venezuela Claims to Be in Hands
of United States.
Feeling Runs Much Higher
There Against England.

CARACAS, Dec. 27.-It is rumored here
that England. believing that the Unitsd
States is determined to fight is now
willing to arbi;rate with Venezuela and
wishes to resume diplomatic relations for
that reason.
The Venezuelan government while de-
clining to speak officially regarding this
rumor, assures that Venezula cannot now
renew negotiations or receive any COM
munication except through the United
States.
There is great excitement over dis
patch cabled to the London Times
Everyone demanded the expulsion of
the Times correspondent, Charles Akers.
The American minister says in an in
terview that such action would be i'm
prudent at this jancture and his counsel
was accepted. The society for the de-
fense of Venezeuian territory has elect
ed Cleveland and Crespo honorary presi-
dents. 1t offers the government $4,000
men ready for war.

1T IS SERIOUS.
The Condition of ths Treasury as Depicted
by Mr.. Carlisle.

WAsHIN GTON, Dec. c.27-Chairman Ding
ley of the ways and means committee
has received a letter from Secretary
Carlisle which is private. The condition
of the treasury is represented as very
serious and Mr.. Carlisle urges Legislation
for a gold bond.
Mr.. Dingley has informed the secre-
tary that gold bond was out of the
question and could not be considered.
Secretary Carlisle did not say to Mr..
Dingley that per cent bond cannot be
hoated and did not discuss this feature of
the case. This latter denial was made
because reports to this effect concerning
the secretary's letter were in circulation.
President Cleveland and his advisers,
it is learned, are strongly opposed TO the
house bond bill and this feeling caused
Secretary Carlisle to write to Chairman
Dingley.
Aside from the very important objec-
tion that the bonds are to be redeemed in
coin instead of gold, as recommended by
the president, it is understood that
the requirement that the bonds be
sold by subscription meets with
disapprovaL The experience of
the government, it is said, with
sales by advertisement, show the
Intellectual character of this means of
protection to the gold reserve.
The ability of the government to float
any considerable loan under the pending
bill also is brought in question. The
quotation of the United States per cent
bonds of 1925 was yesterday 116 bid.
This produced to purchaser return of
over per cent. how, then, the admin
istration asks, can the bonds in the pro-
posed law, which are limited at per
cent, be sold at par?

Explosion of Four Tons of Giant Powder
at Romeo Like an Earthquake.
CHICAGO, Dec 27.-What appeared
to be another earthquake shook Chicago
at o'clock this morning, and made the
earth tremble for miles around. 1t came
with great boom. The shock is said
to have been caused by the explosion
of four tons of giant pow
der, near Romeo, on the new drainage
canal.
Throughout an area of abont fifty
miles square the shock was heard, No
one was killed.
Throughout Chicago windows shook
and ratified and buildings seemed 10 rock.
Probably as many as million people
were awakened by the shock. The ex-
plosion occurred in the same place where
last week a number of workmen were
killed and injured by similar accident
on a smaller scale.
Not stick of wood or a scrap of iron
of the magazine was left. A seventy
five pound weight known to have been
at the magazine was found half a mile
away, where it had been carried by the
force of the shock.

New YORK, Dec. 27.-The New York
World says:
"The Baltimore s. Ohio railroad is now
on the financial dissecting table for
heroic reformatory treatment Expert
accountants are at work on the books
ciphering out just what the property is
worth as an investment, and whether it
has any right to figure as dividend
payer on its surplus earnings year by
year. A receivership is considered
among the probabilities within the next
few week"
BALTIMORE, Dec 27.-Alexander Shaw,
chairman of the finance committee of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railway company,
positively denies the newly revived
statement that a receivership for the
road is contemplated.
"Several questions will have to be set
tied, said he, "before we are ready to
select successor to Mr.. Mayer You
may say positively that no man has as
yet been agreed upon. You may also
deny specifically that the January inter
est on the bonds of the company will
not be paid; that receivership, either
friendly or otherwise, is contemplated:
that the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Southern railway systems are to be con-
solidated."

vorce petition of Mrs. Lizzie B. Morns
which has been flied in the district court.

She says her husband has beaten and
assaulted her on numerous occasions,
but that he surpassed himself in brutal
ity on Septem mber 28 last. when he
struck her in the face with his fist,
knocking out two front teeth. In No

their home to John Spear without her
knowledge or consent and forged her
name to the document. That, later, in
December, 1892, when the forgery was
discovered by the holder of
the mortgage, she was
forced to sign lien on their household
furniture to prevent the mortgage be-
ginning criminal action against her hus-
band for forgery. The furniture was af-
terward taken on the lien.
No papers have yet been served in the
case, and a reconciliation may be effe CT
