Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE Southern De-

pended upon the settlement of the finan-
cial question. This company has recently
been chartered under the laws of Ala
bama for the purpose of developing a sec

cago capitalists are now becoming inan-
cially interested, are Col. John II. Dickin-
son, eX- secrctarv. of the worlds fair, and
ID. III. Campbell, IL well-known contractor
and engineer. The company has secured

farmers and truck gardeners, as we'll as

1t is also the purpose of the company
to establish industrial and manufacture

ton, besides the building of IL railroad
some eighty or 100 miles in length The
carrying ont OF this project means the
expenditure of several millions of dollars
and the employment of thousands of

THEY GUESSED AT IT.
A Novel Way of Arrivin" at the Number
of Votes in North Carolina.

Raleigh, \. c., Nov. 1l.-A special to
the News and Observer from A1orehcad
City, \. c., says: 1t has just been learn
ed that at Piny Point precinct, Cartaret
county, on November }, just before the
polls closed, one of the judges, il light
ing his pipe, accidentally dropped the
head of 4 match in the ballot box, and
when the accident was discovered by them
before the box could he opened most of
the tickets had been burned. The
judges, four Republicans and two Dem
ocrats, decided to guess at the number of
votes for each candidate, and replace the
burned ballots by new ones. Anidavits
have been secured from each OF the six
poll holders and Judges setting forth the
above facts, and stating that the rcplac.
ing OF the burned tickets was very uncer-
tain, owing to the great number of
scratches. The question is, will this
throw out the box, If so, it elects the

WHAT THEY THINK.
Opinions of the English Press on tin,
Venezuelan Situation.


London, Nov 1.-THE Westminster
practical settlement of the Nenezuelan
question by submitting it to II court OF
arbitration, says:
1.-The Tools standi of the United States.
which the Marquis of Salisbury ut first
denied, is now undisputed and is accepted
even to the length of ruling out Nene-
zuela We would, much rather settle
with the United States, but we naturally
look to the United States to go bail for
Venezuela in return. To this assertion
OF the Monroe doctrine the most satisfac-
tory point of all is Appended general
arbitration agreement.
The st. James Gazette asks whether
the agreement will not throw into arb-
tration ''all the sparsely settled region
between the Schomburgk line and the
settled territory of Guiana, which Lord
Kimberley, and the Marquis of.Salisbury
declared they would never submit to arbi-
tration and whereupon President Clcvc-
land and Secretary .Olney declared they
should, or the United States would make
them" 1t adds:
IF Great Britain does submit this
issue to arbitration it will be difficult TO
disprove that the American claim is Il
square backdown on the part of Great
Britain. That the arrangement includes
il general treaty of arbitration is an in
disputablc beneiit,and the decision of the
committee not to report relieves Presi.
dent Cleveland's government of the most
serious difficulty of its own creation
The Pail Mail Gazette thinks that here
after disputes are less likely to occur
now that the principle of dealing
directly with the little republics is set
aside in favor of negotiations with their
powerful protector
The Globe welcomes the sagreement
because it releases the American Gov
ernment from false and dangerous po-
sition.'
Continuing the Globe says:
Had the commission reported add
versely to Great Britain it would have
forced President Cleveland to attempt the
coercion of Great Britain or eat the hum
blest of humble pie. NO one in this
country wishes to see the development of
the United States retarded for half Il cen
tnry IT'S it would necessarily have done if
the Government ut Washington had seen
tit TO enter on 50 a trivial prcteNt upon
50 unequal contest. The decision of
the commission to withhold its report is
IN obvious but effective way out of an
awkward situation.n

STOPPING \ TRAIN.
Important Discovery That Has Just Been
Made in Europe.

Made in Europe
Some important discoveries have inst
been made in Europe, says the New York
Herald.
How to stop n train when an accident
is impending has long been IL problem
Many plans have been suggested. but
almost all have been considered faulty for
the reasons that they call for IL quick
stoppage. In such Il case the shock would
be so great that the carriages between the
engine and the rear of the train would be
smashed to atoms and their occupants
crushed to death Evidently, there fore.
gradual stoppage is imperative.
An admirable plan, which enables a
train.to slow down gradually, has recent
ly been tested at the railroad station in
Dresden 1t is extremely simple and has
been found to work we'll No intricate
machinery is required, and the cost must
be small. y track is LAID, the rails of
which sink or slope gradually into IL bed
OF sand. As the train passe over this
sand It's wheels meet with an ever increas-
Ing resistance, which soon becomes so
great that they are obliged to stop. The
stoppgc, however, is so gradual that
there is no rough shock. The greater the
swiftncss of the train and the heavier
the load the more immediate is the stop
page. No damage then is possible either
rs regards the train or the passengers.
I'm experiment which was recently tried
with II freight train showed clearly the
usefulness of this very practical AMI
simple plan.

THE FINAL ARBITRATOR.
The King of Sweden Can Appoint Sub
stitute if He So Desires

Stltute IL lie 60 DESIRES.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE exclusive
information by the Associated Press that
King Oscar III of Sweden and Norway had
been agreed on as the fifth and final ar.
btrator in the Venezuelan contro yersy
and that the other fourarbitrators would
be named by the judicial authorities of
the two countries, two by the lord chief
Justice of England and two by the chief
justice of the United States, has been
fully verified from authoritative sources
and the official announcement is likely to
be made ut an early day.
Those who are best acquainted with
the facts read with satisfaction the Asso-
ciated Press report printed to-day con
corning the arbitration and stated that it
covered all essential particulars and was
correct. The additional information can
be given that the agreement is that King
Oscar II will be the fifth or final arbitra-
tor with the understanding that if his
royal functions are such rs To make it un.
desirable to sit with the arbitrauors hc
will designate another, probably his chief
Justice, to participate in the formal
meetings. At the same time, it is the
king whom the two governments will re-
gard as the final arbitrator even though
he should designate some one to serve in
the formal capacity.
The personnel of the judicial members
of the commission has not been deter.
mined and no names are mentioned, eX-
cept that the solicitor general Of England
,I.ay be one of those designated This,
however, will be matter of subsequent
adjustment, as the exact names do not
appear in the draft of the treaty
