Prof. GiIman's Opinion.

BALTIMORE, Nd; Nov. u-President
Gilman, of Johns Hopkins university and
one of the members of the Venezuelan
commission, was asked today for his
opinion as to whether the effect of the
published decision was to make the Mon
roe doctrine international law or TO
establish a virtual protectorate on the
part Of this country over Venezuela. He
said: 1T is obvious that all the data
requisite for the formation of an opinion
have not yet been made public by the
United States and Great Britain, but
enough has been said to show that the
principles Of arbitration are accepted
by both nations and they are very nearly
in complete accord on the best method OF
procedure, if indeed they are not abso-
lutely so.
''Lt will be time enough to consider the
relations of the correspondence between
Lord Salisbury and Mr.. Olney to the re-
cognition of the Monroe doctrine when
that correspondence is published. All
that need be said at the moment is that
the administration in every difficult and
embarrassing controversy has succeeded
in securing a concert of action between
The parties interested and that this is in
the interest of peace and good will. The

The constitution of Venezuela requires
all treaties to be ratified by a vote of

Thinks The End Coming.

Mr.. ]. d. Johnson, who, for scv-
cral years has lived in this valley, is
now cast to bring his mother to Mon
tana with him. And thereby hangs a
tale worth telling.
Nh johnson is married man,
with family, a good, upright citi-
zen and 4 man Of considerable cul-
turc. He owned one of the best
farms in this valley and was at one
time worth $50, 600. This was some
three years ago.
Mr.. johnson is a deep bible stu
dent: he has dclved deep into its
well Of information and, he thinks,
unravcllcd some Of its mysteries. He
claims that he fors;,w the coming Of
the panic and for that reason did not
put cent OF the money, which he
got for his farm, in the banks.
Since leaving his farm Mr.. Johnson
has ,simply waited for the end Of
the world, which he says will come
in July. For this reason he has gone
east for his mother, and as ''soon as
possible he will flee to the high
mountains. - BOZcman Chronicle.

from Salt Lake City, who has been
examining the field, says that there
is every indication in the geological
formation Of that region to show the
existence Of d large oil field. and that
it only awaits the drilling of wells to
give us a flow of oil equal to some Of
the largest fields in the country.
Other experts from eastern cities
have also examined the fields. and all

Brooklyn Man Has an Invention That
Gives Promise Of Great Things.
10 ride a bicycle across the ATTAIN
tic ocean from New York to Liver
pool in seventy hours is the ambition
of Charles Flint, a Danish sailor,
who is residing now at 14S Columbia
street, brooklyn. Mr.. Flint came to
this country from Copenhagen nine
teen years ago. lie has followed the
sea since lie was II years old and he
is now 40. ...-.
Two years ago Mr.. Flint read an
account OF a flying machine and it
gave him an idea. He worked on
the idea until he had constructed a
boat twenty feet long, three feet
wide and four feet deep, in which
was bicycle attachment connecting
with a big 1ly-wheel and propeller.
Mr. Flint launched this boat in the
Passaic river, at Newark, and got
aboard. He began to work the bicy-
Gle pedals. The boat moved ahead,
and Nlr. Flint said that he made
thirty-onc miles an hour in the boat.
ut went SO fast that [ had to ease
up" he said yesterday. sit was an
open boat. and when / went at the
rate of half mile Il minute it cut
under the waves and l had to slow up
or swamp her" = ..~
This boat was destroyed by Il fire
a month after it WAS made. Now
Mr.. Flint wants to build another
boat ON the same plan, but larger.
He has constructed the model, anc
claims that when the new boat is
completed he can easily make forty
five milcs'an hour in it. The new
boat will be forty feet long, five fec1
beam and eleven feet deep. 1t vii

"that by my arrangement man cal

That will be sufficient to send th

it is perfectly practicable. The onl

Attorney General Crane Said To Be

Galveston, Tex, Jan. 3l.-lt is
learned from a gentleman recently
in Waco that Attorney General
Crane, at Austin, is engaged in pre-
pairing a sensational suit against the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company under
the trust act, and that papers in the
case will be filed early next week.
1t is sand that the Attorney General
is in possession of evidence Of con
tracts with dealers all over tie State
by which they bind or obligate
themselves not to buy any other OIL.
An injunction to prohibit the COM
pany from doing any business at all
in Texas, it is said, will be asked. 1t
is suggested that the dealers them
selves may be implicated in the suit,
though such may not be the case. II
is further said that Clark and Boil
niger Of Waco will represent the
defendant, and that they will likely
transfer the suit to the Federal court
the defendant company being a non-
