NOW TO SETTLE IT.
Report Of Another Understanding:

Report of Another Understanding
Reached on Venezuela.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British Ambassador, called
at the State Department today for the
purpose of presenting to Secretary Olney
certain propositions regarding the Ven
day, Sir Julian and the Secretary had
only ten minutes conference The Am
bassador carried a large roll of docu-
ments which he left for the perusal of the
secretary. The bulk of the documents
seemed to be data respecting the extent
of British individual interest in the dis
puted territory, information which Sec
rotary Olney has all along sought from
the British side. If this troublesome
phase of the boundary dispute can be ad-
justed satisfactorily there is little doubt
that the main question in dispute can be
speedily settled.
1t can be stated authoritativeIy that the
proposal Sir Julian Pauncefote is author
lied by the British Foreign Office to pre-
sent to the State Department embraces
both the Venezuelan boundary question
and the question of a general treaty be-
tween England and the United States,
whereby all future disputes Will be sub
mitted to arbitration. The nature of the
proposal is such that the dispute over
Venezuela is much nearer final solution
than at any time since the trouble began.
1t can be stated positively that no
notes or negotiations of any kind have
passed between Secretary Olney and
Lord Salisbury since June 22d last, al
though reports to the contrary have ap-
peared. T he negotiations will be re-
sumed at the point where they were
suspended at that date.
Mr. Olney's final proposal on June 22d,
so far as Venezuela was concerned, was
that it should be embraced in a treaty
of arbitration separate from the general
treaty or arbitration. He insisted, how
ever, that Venezuelan arbitration was a
prerequisite to any general arbitration
and that the arbitration should be final
and embrace all the territory in dispute,
settled as we'll as unsettled, Great Brit
ain being opposed to including the set
tied districts.
In view of the statement of the For
eign Office that the proposals about to
be made give hope of a final settlement,
it seems likeI ythat Lord Salisbury
answer to Mr.. Olney's propositions of
June 22d will be favorable, or in the
line of compromising the differences of
the details.
The call of Sir Julian Pauncefote on
Secretary Olney today was one Of cour-
tsy to present his respects after his ar
rival, and the question of arbitration
was not taken up except that arrange
nents were made for a formal meeting
at the earliest moment Olney might sug-
gest.

Chairman Butler VIII Issue 81 Circular
to Bryan Supporters.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina,
Chairman of the Populist Committee,
is said to be about to issue d circular
addressing the supporters of Bryan to
keep their eyes open and to place
cool men on guard" to watch and ex-
pose game which he says the Repub-
licans are contemplating in the Mid
die West States and which he describes
as follows:
The plan as now revealed is for so
much money to be put into the hands
of township or ward managers, and
so much to be given for special Re
publican gain. 1t has been found i'm
possible to buy enough individual votes
to carry the election, and the plan fore
casted is to be the one. Instead of the
voter, the poll itself is to be tempered
with. Our information is that this
plan has already begun in Ohio.
Chairman Butler has not yet found
Mr.. Watson's letter of acceptance.

FROM ENGLISH STANDPOINT.
Press Not Inclined to Believe McKin-
ley,s Election Sure.

Press Not Inclined to Believe McKin-
ley,s Election sure.
LONDON, Oct. 24.-The leading
weekly papers of London are devoting
column after column of space to spe-
culating on the result of the coming
election in the United States. The
Spectator, in a leading article under
the caption "If Bryan is Elected" re-
fuses to admit that the victory Of Nc
Kinley is a forgone conclusion, and
continues:
'"The rise in wheat in America will
do no harm to Bryan's chances if the
people are convinced that it was
brought about by the Vaccinations of
the British and Eastern gold bugs.
English investors in America ought to
prepare for the possible election of
Bryan. Financial cateclysm following
thereon, involving as it would, over
FL, 16O, 900, 900 of British investments,
would shake the fabric of credit of the
world and if the London financial 81
tuation should keep its head and wait
until the situation cleared, as it ulti-
mately would, all would be we'll"
The Speaker" devotes a long arti-
Gle to comments upon the exposition of
the United States Congress as a lead
ing question of moment. Mckinley
is certain to be elected the Speaker"
says, "but he is more likely to be a
figurehead or a puppet than a really
active force" The Speaker" quotes
freely from the cablegrams describing
the situation and adds: Even if the
gold party is successful it's majority
will not be great. We have before us
four years of agitation and disquiet-
ude."

SOME of The Mckinley nannr.

SOME of the Mckinley papers
are drawing world of consolation
out of an unhappy and pitying
abuse of Governor Morton of New
York who they allege is dough in
the hands Of Tom Platt, and who
is already regretting that he ever
permitted his name to be consid-
cred for the Presidential nomina-
ton. But that is mean and un-
worthy view to take of the matter,
Tom Platt is not so hegrogged that
he is unsteady Oh hispoliticalli $,
and Governor Morton has simply
done what any other man would
