Whey Did Not Agree.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The Senate
Finance Committee has not finished
its consideration OF the bill. The
failure was due to the fact that the
silver majority of the committee was
upal lie to agree on the terms of d
substitute which they propose to re-
port for the House bill.
The membcrs favorable to silver,
including VOORHEES,, Harris, Vest,
Jones of Arkansas aud Walthall
(Democrats), and Jones (Pop.( of Ne
vada. we're ia conference an hour be-
fore the committee met, but found
the task of preparing bill to which
all could agree somewhat more compli-
Gated than anticipated, and we're COM
PEELED to ask for more time.
Senator jones presented Il draft of
bill on the line suggested in these
dispatches last night, but some mem
bers desired further time for consid-
Grafton. 1t was made apparent, how
bIltG WSIO hOI lhu1
cal, and it is believed by majority
that there are no insurmountable OBJ
jections to the scheme.
Another reason for the delay on the
part Of the silver clement was found
in the absence of Senator Wolcott,
the only Republican silver advocate
on the committee, and the desire was
expressed by some members to have
this element represented in the prep
aration of the substitute He is eX-
pected here on Monday, to which date
the committee adjourned.
The Republican members were in
conference several hours, devoting
the greater part of the time to the tar
if bill, on the lines OF work on that
bill done yesterday. The Republic
cans are disposed to give more atten-
ton to this measure than the bond
bill. They consider the latter meas
ure has virtually been taken CIT of
their hands anu Il majority is against
them, but think it probable the tariff
will be so modified as t. get it through
so they are directing their energies
to this end.

IlSe Venezuelan boundary.

LONDON, January 3.--.The DAILY
Chronicle prints letter from
special correspondent at Washington
giving hitherto unpublished CORES
pondence between the governments
of Great Britain and Venezuela dur
ing the period between November,
1910, when Robert Schomberg was
appointed to survey the western ter
ritOry OF British Guiana, and April,
1842, when Great Britain finally re-
moved the boundary posts which he
set at various points in that territory
to form the so-called "Schomberg
line This is attracting much atten-
ton here.
The ChGoGicle calls it Il momentous
dispatch, and heads it "a New Face
to the Controversy" "The Schom
berg Line Useless" and "Some Start
ling Dispatches"
A Foreign Office official, speaking
of these dispatches, said the CORES
pondence quoted was correct, $50 far
rs it goes"
He added: "Rut there is much
which is unpublished and private let
tiers Of Senior Fortesque, tho Vencz.
uelan Minister, to Great Britain at
that time. These give a different
light On the whole matter. We might
for instance, take portion of Secre.
tary Olncy's document and transform
it into Il statement which would be
entirely antagonistic to the American
side Of the question"

The writer had corralled q western

1T isn't always used for that, is it?''

l was the one preserved. We were
up in the canyon country looking for
some cattle. and one of the boys and
had gone off the trail to stream to
take bath. as you might call it in the
east, for it was hotter than blazes and
shade was not plentiful. We went into
the water some distance above a. turbu-
lent rapid and waterfall of twenty
five feet. and as we didn't go to swim
so much as to get cool, all we needed
was enough water to cover us, and
that's all my companion took.
II was, however, more ambitious,
and having been fine swimmer when
l was in the east l thought / would
branch out q bit. was soon branch
ing out extensively, and the first thing
/ knew the swift water caught me and
down l went toward the fall. 1 tried
to pull for the shore, but it was no
good, and then / set up Il yell that
made the canyon echo, and my partner
came after me along the shore. l was
fifty feet out in the stream, struggling,
and there wasn't any more sign Of SAL
Walton for me than if l had been in
midoccan.
Down 1 kept going, whirlcd and
turned upside down and fired around
proEIiscuously, until, about u hundred
yards above the final fall, 1 caught OH

keep my head out of water, and l hung
to it till my finger nails seemed to be
imbcdded in it. My partner at this
iuncture showed what kind Of n fellow
he was in an emergency, for nc APP
pearcd on shore with our two lariats
tied together, and just as I was about
to let go and be smashed on the rocks
below he swung that lariat as cool as
hr ever did from the back of his mus
tang and it dropped square over my
head. The rest of it am not very con-

pulled Inc ashore by the neck l was
about as near hung as l ever want to
be, but he brought me around all right
in the course of half an hour or so, and

unlikely that the little street will soon be

A long kept local tradition says that the

retreat from Long Island. The soldiers,
hungry and forlorn. found in the people
about them ardent sympathy. Nothing that
the residents could do was too much for

greater the family. There we're all kinds

of a feather bed was to show the highest
esteem to the receiver OF the gift. When
the soldiers of Washington came that way
feather beds and blankets to match were
given to them, and many OF these beds were
taken from one house too small to accom-

The beds were carried on the soldiers backs.

Police PIcis Up n Man with Model
uuru1nr's kit.

The police are OF the opinion that they
made a good capture In the person OF u
Clifford, who Is at present booked at the
station as being a suspicious charactery
Clifford was arrested last night while wan
dering around In tho yiclnity OF Fourteenth
and Douglas streets. When the officer ac-
costed him he failed to tell a straighe
story and manifested an eagerness to slide
out Of sight down an alley On the way
to the city Jail he made several maneuvers
rs IL TO rid himself OF something he did
not wish the officers TO zee, and when
searched his reasons for doing so became
very evident A complete SET OF burglar
tools was found on him. a set OF skeleton
keys, number OF delicate files. such as
are used on locks, q cracksman's Jimmy"
and stump OF candle carefully put
away In a tobacco sack was unearthed.
In passing through the entrance to tho
Jail Clifford dropped bunch OF keys gently
to the ground, wherc they were afterward
found by the patrol conductor The keys
are a curiosity even to the police and are
an excellent sample OF high art in this
llhe oil business. They are filed into every
CvhVelNaole form, and are calculated to ne
a,I"ost any form OF lock. One or the pock-
vts OF 'hc prisoner was badly worn, as it
uy revolver, and he admitted that he
alWays carried one, but was obliged to
soak 1t at Sioux City as he had run
snort OF cash. Clifford says he formerly
lived at Onawa, Ia, but the police are OF
the opinion he Is from Chicago or some
eastern city, and that he is crook of
manys years experience.
