A Rain Indicator.

Soda crackers furnish an excellent
indication of the weather. When
they are soggy and bend instead OF
breaking they are full of moisture,
and rain is imminent. When they
are dry and break or crumble read
lily it is because there is no mois-
ture in the air, and little probability
of rain.

VENEZUELAN QUESTION.
Tho Arbitration Debate In the House OF
Commons-OpInIonE OF London Press.

Commons Opinions OF London Press.
LONDON. Feb. 1S.-The arbitration
debate in the house of commons yester-
day and the proposal OF the Times cor
respondent in the United States, Mr..
George W. Smalley, that Great Britain
should appoint committee OF Its own,
consisting OF two members, which
should work in conjunction with two
Americans, as Venezuela boundary
commission, not to fix the boundary.
but to ascertain the facts and report to
their governments, are the leading cub
jccts FOR editorial comment this after
noon especially as Mr.. Smnlley's pro-
posal for n joint commission Is sup
posed to have originated with the cabi-
net at Washington.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
INF Athcrly-Jones' amendment (de-
ploring the absence OF a pronouncemont
in the queens speech In favor OF arbl-
tratirg the Venezuelan disputG) could
not do good and might do n great deal
OF harm. Mr.. Athcriy-Jones Is old
enough to know that the interference
OF the house OF commons in matters un-
der diplomatic treatment must be In
tolernble. The amendment Implying
ceusurc Of the government would in
fnllIbly have been rCGRtlved by large
majority and would thus have defeated
lts own ends and have conveyed TO the
United States an entirely fallacious I'M
preston Of hostility. This on the morn
ing Of the very promising suggestion OF
Mr.. Smntfey might have been u very
serious calamity. Fortunately no harm
has been done. The house snw II had
been on the verge OF an indlscrStion
and wisely began to talk OF something
else"
The Westminster Gazette gays that
II entirely sympnthlzes with the object
OF Mr. Atherly-JonCS' amendment, add
Ing. however:
"Bnt It wns clearly desirable after
MIR. l5alfour's appeal and Sir William
Harcourts speech that 1t ahould not be
pCrscvcrcd In. for It's certain rejection
would have been interpreted in America
M demonstrating that the house OF
commons did not favor arbitration.
This would have been n thousand pitlcs,
with the delicate negotiations proceed
inE and with every hope that modua
vIvcndI will be found"
The st. James Gazette agrees that
MIR. Bnlfour's Intervention In tho de-
bate yesterday, In order TO end It, was
justinnblc, and Gnys:
"Iiut Sir William Hnrcourts utter
nncca on arbitration 30 n great deal
further than 10 Justified by the feeling
here Tho Chronicle and Sir William
Hnrcourt most mlschicvously declare
thRt the country Is unanimous for arbi-
tratIon, without specifying what arbi-
trHtion, Nothing but harm can come
Oc this mystincntion Another nmbi-
guilty was introduced by Mr.. Smnllcy's
suggestion. which srcms 10 b. entirely
premature until some arrangement has
been effected with Venezuela that occu-
patton shall be the basis of settlement"

May Yet be the Result OF the French
crlGIs-SrrIous situation.
LONDON, Feb. 1s.--The Paris cor
respondent OF the Phll' Mall Gazette
tclegraphs that the political situation
in France is growing more serious.
"Those who are best informed" this
correspondent writes, consider that
the cabinet has a card up its sleeve
which will cause considerable surprise.
1t is certain that the ministry means
to stop where 1t Is, and there Is n pos
sIbI!ity OF coup d'ctat.
"The government may declare Its In
tent!on to govern without the senate,
A statesman tells me that the obstacle
is General snussier. the governor OF

SauRsier Is old, opposed to change ana

"'seven years ago, two lines in the
IntrnnsIgeant, (Rochefort's newspaper
headed Down with the Senate, would
have sufliced for 100000 men to immedl-
ately march upon the Luxembourg (the
building formerly n palace Of royalty
and also used by Napoleon, which in
1870 was named the palace OF the SEN
ate. That body now occupies 1t during
its sessIons). Now there Is such lassl-
tude that a column would not call
dozen men to arms!

TROY, N. Y. Feb. 1S.-several FIRE
engines are still pouring water upon the
ruins Of the Burnett building fire. II
any OF the victims are in the ruins 1t
will be impossible to reach their bodies
for hours, perhaps days. No additional
names of missing people have been re-
