GRANT MONUMENT DEDICATION


NEW YORK. Dec. Is, 1Sse.-At the
suggestion of General Horace Porter,
President Of the Grant Monument Asso-
citation. the Board of Estimate today APP
propriated the sum of $50, 600 to pay the
expenses attending the dedication of the
Grant OF April 27 next. The
money is to be expended under the di-
rection of the Mayor and Board of Es-
innate.
In his statement to the Board, General
Porter said that the ceremonies should
be under the direction of the city au-
thorities, as the dedication of the mon
ument is to be distinctly a city affair.
He said that the association would turn
over the monument to the city on the
day of the dedication. and then their
official connection with the ceremonies
would cease.
General Porter said that the total cost
of the u will be $500, 900. the larg-
est sum ever raised by popular subscrip-
ton for such a purpose. All of this
money except SIS. 600. he said, had been
contributed by citizens of New York
City in amounts angtng from one cent
to five thousand dollars. He further
stated hat President-elect Mckinley had
agreed to be present at the
and that all the member of tn Cabinet,
the Diplomatic Corps, the Legislature,
Governors of States and Mayors of all
large cities ought to be invited.
The government would invite all ma
tons maintaining fleets in the Atlantic
TO participate in a naval parade.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %, lSs.-The In
ternational Incident of the Venezuelan
Boundary dispute is considered closed as
far as the United States is concerned,
and all further negotiations for It's adju-
dieation lie wholly with the two par
ties to the controversy. Venezuela ana

from the State Department. where It Is
further stated that with the acceptance
by the Venezuelan executive three weeks
ago of the heads for the proposed treaty
treaty Of arbitration as signed BY Sir
Jui-an Pauncefote and Mr.. Olney on
November Il. the friendly Intervention OF
the United States had been completed and

pointment OF two jurists as members OF

AS the Venezuelan Congress which
must pass upon this treaty has been
called to meet In executive session on

It is presumed that Mr., Andrsde and the
British Ambassador will complete the
details of the convention directly in or
der that it may reach Caracas within
a month. Such negotiation is thought
to be devoid of any great Importance
as the heads of the treaty have already
defined formulas Of Introduction are

STRONG AT THE OPENING,
CORN AND OATS A BIT LOWER

CHICAGO, March 12.-Heavy liquidation in
wheat today finally had it's effect and May
closed 2c lower than Yesterdays final figures,
after selling sc above that price. Corn and
oats each suffered loss of about 1sc each,
and pork and lard and ribs made irregular
recessions Wheat nervous and some
what irregular, covering over lie range. The
opening indicated that some of the operators
feared damage to the plant might result from
the cold weather, and for an hour or more
the prevalence of that idea was seen in a
gradual, though not very material advance in
the price. Besides, there seemed to be a
disposition to revise previous opinions ON the
government report and give 1t a bullish rather
than bearish construction. The market had
apparently been oversold yesterday and the
change in the sentiment caused shorts some
alarm, and there active covering for
time, which soon put the market up about &c
over the close of yesterday. But at the ad-
vance the speculative offerings increased, one
broker being reported as having sold 400 900
blu, supposed to be for q firm interested
largely in the packing business, and others
followed and sold too. Under the increased
offerings weak feeling set in and the prices
We're carried down to the lowest point. Then
came Beerbohm's estimate of stocks in Russia
Showing them to be about $500 000 blu larger
than year ago, and the weakness was in
creased. The market steadied up a trifie on
reports OF liberal quantities being taken for
export, but operators felt a little suspicious
VI tue IeIlaDllty OF them, and the effect was
trihing. May opened a shade lower at 64240
