Arbitration Treaty on the Nene-
zuela Case Agreed Between
Britain and America.

Zuela Case Agreed Between
Britain and America.
Washington, ID. c., Nov. TO-
The meeting of the Venezuelan
commission today was one of
more than ordinary interest on
account of the significant state
ment of Lord Salisbury in a
speech last evening announcing
the boundary dispute as practi-
cally ended. In the early part of
the meeting the address of Lord
Salisbury was generally discuss
ed and the papers containing the
speech and comments upon it
were read.
The commission has authorized
the following official statement:
The statements of Lord Sails
bury as reported in this morning
papers makes it probable the
boundary dispute now pending
between Great Britain and Vene-
vuela will be settled by arbitra,
tration at All early day. Under
the circumstances the commits
sion will continue its delibera.
tons, in the preparation and or,
dering the arrangement of many
valuable maps, reports and doc
uments which have been prOcur-
ed and used in the course of its
labOrS, but does not propose to
formulate any decision at present
on such matters subject to its eX-
animation. 1t will continue it's
sessions from time to time, but
with the hope and expectation
that a friendly and just settle,
ment of all pending differences
between the nations interested
will make any final decision on
its part unnecessary.
Arbitration of the Venezuelan
dispute is a settled fact. All ar
rangements have been completed
and all details of the arbitration
treaty between the United States
and Great Britain were arranged
in this city last night. The terms
cabled to London have been ac-
cppted.

PRESIDENTIAL CLEMENCY.
Three California Labor Conspira-
tors and Rioters PardOned.

Washington, Nov. TO- The
president has pardoned w. ii.
Clune, Isaac Ross and Phillip
Stanwood, of California, sentenc-
ed Dec. 9th, 1894, to pay a fine of
81 and to be confined in Los An
geles county Jail eighteen months
for conspiracy, the offense being
committed in the railway riots
at that time general throughout
the state. The president wrote
the following endorsement on the
application:
"These convicts have suffered
more than nine months imprison-
ment and under their sentences
l am bound to assume they were
guilty of an offense most danger
Gus in its character and in the
commission of which they aided
and encouraged unlawful def
ance of authority, which threat
ened most distressing conse-
quences. | am convinced, how
ever, these men are not criminals,
but laboring men, drawn into a
violation of law by at first listen
ing to counsels of disorder. 9th
ers beside themselves are suffer-
ing humiliation and deprivation
on account of their wrong dOings,
and | am led to believe, the pur-
poses of punishment so far as
the effect on these prisoners is
concerned, have been fully ac-
complished. | am also convinced
the imprisonment already suffer
ed by these prisoners will be am
pie warning to thousands equally
guilty, though unpublished, and
to those who may be hereafter
tempted, that the laws enacted
to secure peace and order must
be obeyed."

CHARGES AGAINST MARSHAL
NEETN

Topeka, Kas., Nov. lot is report
ed from Washington today that Spec
ial Inspector Clay of the department
of justice may be expected to arrive
in Topeka soon, to investigate the ac-
counts of United States Marshal Nee
ly. This action has been taken, it is
said, because of the charge filed by
G. G. Warner, auditor of the Missouri
Pacific railway, that Marshal Nicely
withholds from that company $1,000
due it on account of the capture of
the "army of Coxeyites" on the lines
of that road in 1898. If such
charge has been filed Nicely has not
been informed Of it, and Special In
spector Clay has not yet arrived.
Marshal Nicely is unwilling to be-
lieve that any charge has been filed
against him. He admits that he is
indebted to the Missouri Pacific rail
way $4,000, but says he has letters to
show that he holds the money with
the consent of the company.

THREE DENIAJS.

Washington, Nov. 10. - The
state department officials say the
story published to the effect that
Ramon Williams, eX-United
States consul general to Cuba,
was sent to Spain as special
agent to the government to en-
deavor to secure the consent of
the Spanish government to the
project to sell the island of Gu
ba to the insurgents, United
States to guarantee bonds to be
issued in payment therefor is a
pure invention. Williams has no
connection with the state de-
partment, either open or secret.
There is also said to be lack of
foundation for the story that the
Spanish minister promised the
president that if the Spanish
troops are unable to subdue the
insurgents within sixty days the
island would be abandoned.
Nothing has been heard of the re-
ported outrage on the family of
an Armenian sugar planter NAM
ed Craycroft.

WE DON'T WANT 1T,
CANADA WANTS A RENEWAL OF
HER 1854 TREATY.
1t Would Open the Markets of United
States to Canada With no Cor
responding Gain.

Montreal, Nov. 10.-The state
ment made in New York that
Hon. w. S. Fielding, Canadian
finance minister, said that eff
forts were to be made by the Ca
madam government toward secur-
ing a treaty of reciprocity with
the United States as soon as
President-Elect Mckinley shall
assume Office at Washington, has
awakened much interest among
business men in Montreal and
throughout Canada. The com,
mercial interests of the dominion
regardless of politics, are almost
a unit in favor of a renewal of
what is known as the "Elgin" re-
ciprOcity treaty of 1854, and it is
believed that when the Canadian
governments representatives Wis
it Washington next spring they
will endeavor to secure reciproc-
ity legislation along the lines Of
that treaty. The principal pro-
visions of the Elgin teraty were
as follows:
1t removes the three mile linn
it imposed by the convention of
1918, and gives to the inhabi-
tants of the United States free
liberty to take all kinds of fish
except shell fish along the shores
and in the bays and harbors of
the provinces of Canada, Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince
Edward and adjacent islands
with permission to land for the
purpose of drying nets or secur-
ing their fish. All salt water,
shad and river fisheries, were,
however, reserved exclusively for
British subjects. Similar liber-
ties with similar reservations
were given to all British subjects
to fish on the western sea coasts
of the United States, north of the
Both parallel of north latitude.
The following articles were to
be admitted into each country re-
spectively free of duty: Grain,
flour and beadstuffs of all kinds,
fish, smoked and sailed meats,
cotton, wool, seeds and vegeta-
BILE, fruits, dried ad undried, hats,
furs, skins or tails undressed,
butter, cheese, tallow, lard, ma
nures, horns, pitch, tar turpen-
tine, ashes and lumber of all
kinds, round, hewed, sawed, IN
manufactured or in part, rye,
broom corn, gypsum, ground or
unground, hewn or wrought or
unwrought, grindstones, manu-
featured tobacco, fish of all kinds,
products of fish and of all other
creatures living in the water,
poultry, eggs, stone or marble, in
crude or unwrought state, ores or
metals of all kinds, coal, firewoOd,
plants, trees, shrubs, pelts, fish
oil, dye stuffs, fax, tow, unmanu
featured rags.
1t gave to the inhabitants of
the United States the right to
navigate the river ST Lawrence
and the canals of Canada as free
ly as British ships, subject to
the same tolls, and a similar
right to navigate Lake Michigan
so long as the privilege of navi
eating the st. Lawrence should
continue. No export duty was to
be levied on timber cut on Ameri
can territory and floated down to
be shipped from New Brunswick.
