Pressed the desire to have his loraship for

His lordship was full Of thanks and said
he would avail himself OF the offer on his

In Ncw South Wales
II Sydney he secured about so, 600, and
here, as at ether points, he became social
lion.
In company with the bishop he called on
the governor, Lord Jersey, and made a
good impression. He was invited to n
large garden party at the palace, or govern
or's house, the following afternoon and
promised to be present.
Garden parties in the magnificent
grounds overlooking the harbof are of
weekly occurrence in the spring, but this
was IN dllair Of so much importance that
the dignitaries Of other colonies wefo in
vited. In such cases they usually send
representatives, and in this capacity tho
Earl OF Hopetoun sent Captain Douglas
from Melbourne.
Lady Jersey herself introduced Captain
Douglas to Lord Cavendish. The captain
was too well bred to express what no felt
at the time, and that was that this was q
daring impostor.
Though certainly nervous, the young
man bore himself with surprising calm
ness. He was not the first to leave, but
among tho first.
Already he had sent his goods and plan
der aboard the sloop. As soon as no roach
ed the hotel no settled, saying he was 60
ing to run up to Brisbane"
He was rUwed out to the sloop. He or
dered sail to be made. The wind and tide
were unfavorable. ''We must wait till
morning." said the captain. The anchor
was being raised at daylight when his
losdship was arrested and the plundor
seized.
The impostor is now In the Queensland
penitentiary, and when his ten years arc
up he will have to answer to the other
colonies for dospoiling them.
1t is said that Mrs. Ward and her daugh-
ter still believe in his ''lordship." and of
course they arc ridiculed by those who

Inquiries made In all OF the nfty-four

depended upon as reliable ut the time
they were given. OF course, time may
change the situation: In fact. the an

probably changed the attitude of n
number OF delegates In several coun-

In Brooke county. says the Intelligent
GERS informant. General Watts was
not strong until he threw Off the admin
istratlon's golden chains and declared
his devotion TO the white metals cause.
Cabelrs twcnty-nine votes are given
to ialphsnyder. and that Is probably
the way they will be cast In the convcn-
ton. One Of the Cabell county lead
ers made n poll Of the delegation, which
shows that II Is against General Watts
by small majority. OF the thirty-ninc
delegates II is said twcnty-one are for
Ralnhsnyder, two favor neither Ralph
snyder nor Watts. while the others.
seventeen, are for Watts. The unit rule
In the Cabell county delegation will
prevail. which gives the entire vote to
Ralphsnyder.

The unit rule also goes In Harrison

THE VENEZUELA DISPUTE
LORD SALISBURY MAKES A CLEAR
STATEMENT.
Everything Goes to Arbitration-Th
Foregone OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
by the United States.

LONDON, November 9.-Lord Sails
bury announced in his speech at the
Mansion House, tonight that the dis
pute between Great Britain and the
United States over the Venezuelan
boundary has virtually been settled,
1t has been settled on the terms which
the United States insisted upon. The
whole question is to be referred to UNI
restricted arbitration. The only CON
dition attached is one proposed by
Secretary Olney, that the title of bona
fide settlers to their present holdings
shall, in case the arbitrators' award
places them under the jurisdiction of
Venezuela, be decided by the laws gov
erning private title. The British law
provides. among other things, that the
title to land which has been unassailed
for twenty-one years cannot be inval-
idated. Venezuela, in other words,
will be debarred from confiscating
property in any territory she may ac-
quire under arbitration.
That was the good news in the Brit
ish Premier's great speech. He an
nounced it at the outset, and it was
received with immense enthusiasm.
He ventured also to congratulate EN-
-bassador Bayard and the United States
on the result of the election. This IS
an extraordinary thing for Prime
Minister and Foreign Secretary to do,
but he explained that it hardly
amounted to an interference in the
domestic politics of another nation t.

pronouncement which the great peo-
pie has made in behalf of principles
which lie at the base of all human
society"

District Court.

July z.
The District Court convened this
morning with Hon. George F. Tai
bot presiding.
The case Of William Barnes VS.. the
Western Union Telegraph Co. being
ready for trial, both sides agreed to a
jury Of six to try the case. The jury
was empaneled and sworn and the
taking Of testimony occupied the re
mainder of the day. All the other
trial jurors were excused for the
term.
The facts Of the case on trial az
near as the reporter could gather them
from the evidence are that the plain
tiff, who Is young man, was at
Grand Junction, Colorado. on the 18th
of February, bound for his home at
Loyelock. Being nearly out of funds
and having ticket only To Ogden he
telegraphed to his brother at Love-
lock 90 send him a ticket to Ogden.
Che message went to Lovelock, but
was not delivered. The plaintiff
waited in Ogden several days and not
getting message or ticket FROM his
brother, boarded the west bound train
as blind baggage and rode as far rs
Battle Mountain where he met with
an accident and lost leg. He now
sues the telegraph company for $1,000
damages FOR their failure &c deliver
his message.
The case will probably be conclud.
ed tonight.

tribution of tickets. There was an in
formal interchange Of views on the
