UNCLE SAM As AN ATTORNEY.
Suggestion Made by an EngIishman to Settle
the Venezuela Trouble.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2o-Thc World has 4
special from John Pender, quoting a letter
from Sir William Desvouex, IL British
diplomat, in which it is suggested that as
Venezuela has practically chosen the
United States rs her attorney in the
boundary dispute, she should formally au-
thorize the United States to act in her be-
half. This would give Great Britain
civilized and stable government to ncgoti-
ate with.
Then let the United States appoint one
or more negotiators and Grcat Bri tain an
equal number before which court the
whole case should be laid. The agreement
might be made subject to ratification by
both governments. Great Britain would
probably not withhold ratification, and If
Venezuela did then the United States to
end her connection with the matter.
y better alternative, the writer says,
would be to give the ncgotiators plenary
powers, in which case it would be with
the United States to enforce the decision
if Venezuela repudiatcd the Same.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-The weather

For some time past these experiments
have been made in a small way, but last
Saturday preparations had been made to
have test on larger scale of several
forms OF kites ut the Fort Mycr military
reservation. and y company OF scientists

which, however, were postponed because
OF the prevalence Of an almost absolute

for the purpose Is Of cellular construction

Profcsso. Moore feels that the weather

OHIO BOUND TO HAVE SOMETHING.

She Is long on Candidates.


CINCINNATI, Jan. 20.-Sincc this city
did not get the Democratic national con-
vention there is now movement to get
the nomination. 1t is argued that no ef-
fort was made to secure the Republican
national convention, as Ohio had candi-
date in Mckinley, and If the Democratic
convention had been held here no local
candidate could have been consistently
presented. The Cincinnati delegation
that went to Washington last week to
present the claims of this city to the ma
tional Democratic committee was headed
by Melville +. Ingalls,, president of the
Big -Four system, the Chesapeake and
Ohio and other railways.
lie is the man that combination of
business men and politicians is consid-
ering as a candidate who would command
the confidence of business interests in
these stringent times. The failure of
James +. Campbell again to become gov
ernor and of Calvin :. Bricc to be re-
turned as senator at the last election is
cited rs clearing the way for the Ingalls,
men to get n solid Ohio delegation and
then the support of other states.
