The state land board has agreed TO
the application of the Beaver. Brook
Water company. which some time ago
purchased about 1000 acres of state
land in Fremont county. to have the
state take back that part of the prop
erty remaining unpaid for up to date,
and allow the company to retain what
1t had paid for. Mrs. Peavey and Ap-
praiser Fine reported to the board
plan of division Of the land. 1t appears
that about 40 per cent. of the originaI
purchase price Of the tract has been
paid over by the Beaver Brook com.
pany. The proposition submitted was
that land to the value of that amount
based on the original purchase price per
acre, should be given to the company,
tho state to reassume its title to the re.
mainder. 1t was adopted and the divIs.
lon will be made on this basis.

First, while the Union Traction
Company will treat only with the

grievances and give them full and fair
consideration; third, it will, so far as
1T has vacant places, Immediately put
on the old men, and as fast as vacan-
cies arise, will give preference to any
OF the old men yet unemployed, and
endeavor to arrange the trips of the
cars to favor the old men as far as
possible without violating it's contract
with the new men.
The questions of compensation and
hours are left for future determina-
ton. Concessions were made by both
sides The battle has been mainly
fought on the question Of the en-
ployes' membership in the Amalga-
mated Association of Street Railway
Employees, which the company has
persistently refused to recognize The
new men engaged since the strike be-
gan number nearly 1000. There were
about 5000 strikers.

Ano usage ana Meramec Rivers Doing
Vast Damage Other Streams High.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. 60 A
heavy rain last night caused great
alarm in the Usage and Moreau river
valleys. The already swollen streams
are rising this morning and it is
feared that the high water of last
week will be greatly augmented. On
the bottom farms fencing, haystacks,
shock corn and many, outbuildings
have been swept away and many. ami
mails have been drowned, and if the
rain continues for twenty-four hours
longer the river valleys will be devas-
tated. Several lives are reported to
have been lost along the Usage valley.
Word from Tuscumbia, sixty miles
up the Usage, is that more than loo,-
OOO bushels OF corn within a small
radius of bottom land, was washed
away last night and thousands of rail-
road ties and bridge timbers have
foated away.
The Usage river is now higher than
1t was IN 1882, when it broke the rec
ord. A telegram says the Meramec is
higher than it ever was before.
The Missouri is not dangerously
high, butts rising and promises to be
booming soon.

county, is threatened with destruction

THEY CAN'T GET OVER 1T
English Papers Still Full of Venezuela
Discussion.

LONDON. Dec. 70. The discussion of
the Venezuelan. question continues
with unabated vigor in all qnarlers.
The Times this morning printed col
nmns of correspondence on the sub
ject. Mr. Andrew Carnegie writes to
that paper in favor of arbitration
with price fixed upon such territory
as has been settled by the British,
should their title be found defective.
Colonel A. G. Colquhoun, who recently
visited America in connection with al
investigation of the Nicaragua canal
project, and who has, since his return
to England, made various addresses on
that subject, writes to the Times, Of
fering his testimony that the Monroe
doctrine IS an abiding sentiment with
Americans and must be counted with.
The Standard, which is regarded as
the Conservative organ, remarks edi-
1~toriaHy that although Lord Salisbury
declined to respond to the invitation
of the New York World to express his
sentiments on the question, his refusal
was kindly in tone.
At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the London Non-Conformist
council, DR. Clifford presiding, it was
decided to telegraph a greeting to the
Christian churches OF America Of SYM
pathy in their efforts to preserve the
peace and the hope that they would be
crowned with success and thus enable
England and America to cooperate on
behalf of suffering Armenia.
The Chronicle says it is possible that
while the tension lasts, United States

| London, but that so far there is no in
dication of when President Cieveland's S
acknowledgement of Lord Salisbury's
dispatches will be received. The
| Chronicle, in it's leader, considered
that if the proposed commission be
composed of men like Edward j.
Phelps, Andrew w. White and George
#. Edmunds, it must command respect
and that some further proposal from
Lord Salisbury would become expedi.
ent and necessary.
! The afternoon newspapers continue
their comments upon the Venezuelan
question and the hope is expressed
that the Christmas holidays will con.
tribute to bringing about calmer mood
on both sides Of the Atlantic. All pos
sibility of war between Great Britain
and the United States is regarded as
: being over, and the affair is now
regarded chiefly from the standpoint
of American domestic politics and
from it's bearings upon the financial
situation.

He Fears Great Britain May Bribe Her
Way Through.

Way Through.
New YORK, Dec. 26.-Senator R. f.
Pettigrew, of South Dakota, who is in
the city. said: ENGLAND will prob
ably brlbe her way with the Venezue-
lans to settlement of the boundary
dispute. And once the Venezuelans
agree with the English about the line,
then what we have done about the
matter will seem more OF less ridicu-
lous. 1t will make laughing stock
of us. England could invest half
million or SO of dollars n Venezuela
in the way of bribery or purchase
money, and soon settle the dispute in
regard to the boundary line. This is
more probable than war with us. )"

He was converted to the Catholic re-

since has been very rapid. His father
