The Decision of the Arbitration Court

London, Nov. 13.-The following semi
official statement of the Venezuelan uues-
tion was issued this evening:
''NIisapprehensions appear to exist ms
to the nature Of the arrangements reached
between the United States. Great Britain
and Venezuela. Having preferred to leave
the negotiations in the hands of the
United States Grent Britain agreed with
the United States conditions of the arbi
tration. An actual treaty for this pur
pose will he concluded between Great
Britain and Venezuela: but the previous
agreement outlining the treaty's main
provisos has already been made between
Great Britain and the United States and
removes the prospects of any difficulty
between Venezuela and Great Britain in
regard to the terms of the treaty.
The decision of the arbitration court
is not expected under twelve months.
'Anent the term OF years mentioned in
the agreement, it is admitted here that
there are practically no settlers on either

Structural Weakness
Washington, Nov. 13.-The inquiry
which is proceeding at the New York
navy yard behind closed doors into the
circumstances under which" the Texas
sank ut her dock recently, it is reported
here, has brought to light a further
startling structural weakness in the shin.
1t was noted here with surprise that the
telegraphic reports of the sinking of the
Texas showed one engine room filled
through, the water tight door CLOSING. it
oil from the adjoining engine room.
THIS led to investigation, and it has been
found that the bulkheads, separating the
ship into supposedly water tight COM
partmcnts are so light they spring under
the pressure of water ana cause great
leaks. Although the magazine is sepa.
rated from the engine rooms bv a con
tinuous hulkhead without n door omen.
ing, 1t was soon filed by the water which
ran around the edges and through the
seams of the metal. y naval expert is
authority for the statement that, if the
Texas sea valve had broken as it did out
ut sea, the vessel would surely have
foundered, owing to the failure of the
bulkheads and doors.

1.-THE Crime of 1873,

Sound Currency" published at 90
William street, New York; for June
contains very interesting article by
Congressman McCleary of Minnesota
on the coinage act of 1873-'The Crime
of 1S73," as frequently designated by
the cheap money advocates, who charge
it with the stealthy and corrupt demon
citation of silver.
Mr.. McCleary shows conclusively
from contemporary records that the bill,
instead of going through congress like
the silent tread of cat" had actually
been before that body for about three
years; that it was printed at least Is
times; that it was carefully debated in
both houses (the debates in the senate
occupying sc columns and those of the
house 7S columns of The Congressional
Globe), and that with the exception Of
the addition of silver trade dollar to
meet the wishes of the Pacific coast, it
finally passed substantially as intro
duced. Every important feature Of the
bill was fully explained in the original
report and afterward in the debates on
the bill itself. Instead of the surrepti-
tious dropping out Of the standard dol
lar just before the passage of the act,
as so frequently alleged, the fact APP
pears that the standard 412h grain dol
lar Tor any other provision for free coin
age of silver was never in the bill
from first to last
Mr.. McCleary also exposes with greet
clearness the Ernest Seyd myth, and
shows conclusively that the allegations
SO widely circulated as to that gentle
mans corrupt connection with the act
are most audacious falsehoods

and Mr. Sewall should retire, the Tex
as Populists would probably be content
with Bryan and Watson, even though
Bryan did not endorse all the plat
form. 1 was absolutely sincere when
1 said / would not accept either place
on the Populist national ticket.
thought our party would have no diff
Guilty in naming straight-out Popu-
list ticket and / did not desire either
place. 1 stayed away from the con-
vention partly to avoid prominence
and the Georgia delegation had posi-
tive instructions not to allow the use
of my name. After the convention
met and the fusion strength developed
1t seemed our party would be swallow
ed up by the Bryan forces and to have
gone into the presidential campaign
with no Populist on the national ticket
meant death to the Peoples party.
The Geogia delegation then telegraph
ed me urging me to allow the use OF
my name to harmonic the factions
and save the party. l consented and
will abide by my constituents. When
I said 1 would not accept did not
dream that such a crisis could possibly
