lington hotel tonight. Nearly 200 guests
were present, including the most prominent

come famous were observed. All the guests
joined in the Introductory song and then

ARRANGING BERING SEA AFFAIR
Great Britain Accepts the Proposition
to Arbitrnte the Matter.

to Arbitrnte the Matter.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Secretary Olney
was called on today by Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British ambassador, who submitted the
final acceptance Of the British government of
the plan of a Bering sea commission to pass
upon the claims of Canadian sealers seized
prior to the Paris award. 1t remains only
for the president to submit the plan to con-
gress, and as the legislative branch has re-
fused to pay lump sum for the seizures it
is considered certain that the commission ar
rangement Will be approved. 1t Is quite likely
that the president in submitting the plan to
congress may suggest once more the deslra-
bility of lump payment as the most expe-
ditious means Of settlement for the COM
mission of arbitration, II agreed to, will bind
the United States to any payment awarded,
which may far exceed the lump sum pro-
posed.
The commission is to be composed Of one
American commissioner, one British commits
sioner, and an umpire to be chosen by the
two. The personnel OF the commission has
rot been suggested, but there is a belief that
the president of Switzerland will be asked to
act as umpire, or some one designated by the
Swiss president, If the sessions of the COM
mission necessitate the presence of the UNI
pire In this country.
In view Of the pending request of the Vene-
zuelan commission to the British government
Sir Julian Pauncefote's call at the State de-
partment on the Bering sea matter led to
some comment as to Great Britains probable
anawer to the letter of Justice Brewer, trans
mitted through Secretary Olney, but 1t is un-
derstood that the ambassador had no in
formation to impart on the subject, and that
the British foreign office has not given any
intimation as yet as to its purpose. There is
reason to believe, however, that there will
be no action on the Brewer letter within a
month or more, as the request will go
through the usual slow channels of diplo-
macy. The answer of Venezuela Is expected
to be delayed until about February A. as the
mail transmission Of the request and answer
will take until then.

AMERICANS ARE OUT ON PAROLE.
OmciaI News from United Stntes Con-
sui at johannesburg.

sui at Johannesburg.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The State de-
partment today gave out the following state
ment:
Manion, consular agent at johannesburg,
cables Secretary Olney that all the Ameri-
can prisoners are out on parole except
Hammond, whose case differs from that
of the others in that Hammond signed a
constitutional invitation to Jameson to come
back to Johannesburg in case of extreme
peril Jameson marched toward Johannes
burg, however, before trouble arose. When
this was discovered American and other
leaders issued proclamations upon the peo-
pie to refrain from hostilities. Instead of
melting rebellion, Hammond, in the begin
ming. raised the Transvaal flag and all in
the moment swore allegiance. Clement and
other Americans took arms from many and
sent them home. Not a shot was fired by
the johannesburg party; there was no dis
turbance, nor single act of hostility. Arms
were peacefully surrendered and every ef-
fort made to maintain the republic as against
encroachment The cases against the Amer
ican prisoners arrested will be tried in
court, though the government has not yet
indicated the time Of prosecution. He adds
that the Transvaal government has acted
magnanimously
In view of the foregoing 1t Is believed
here that neither Hammond nor any ether
Americans are In serious peril. The State
department has cabled Manion to use the
most active and vigorous measures for the
relief OF the Americans, and to that end to
make the TranWaal government direct rep
resentations on behalf Of the United States,
which in the case acts independently, of
course, in its own interests, and in behalf
of its own citizens and not as the sympathizer
or ally of any other power.

Much WORK WENT ron NAuaHr.
south Not n Fruitful Field for woman
sufrrnnfst-.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The features OF
today's meeting OF the National American
Suffrage association was the detailed report
on organization. The executive committee
considered the trouble over the so-called
'womans bible" and II was agreed that the
question was a personal one, of which the
general organization could take no cognlznrce.
A call for subscriptions to the general fund
resulted in the raising OF $4,000. The report
OF the committee on organization was sub
mitted by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. She
said In the work of organization during the
year the south was made the first field ~
labor. Many workers were enlisted and
many converts won there. Yet the work had
not been so fruitful OF organizations as had
been anticipated. While many clubs were
reported, many Of them failed to survive
the rdicule and persecution with which they
were welcomed by their townspeople.
"If we will perslstently follow the path
thus blazed," the report went on, "thc south
will yet be organized and the votes Of the
fifteen states now soldy opposed to woman
suffrage in congress will be changed through
the influence of their constituency to solid
advocacy OF our cause"
Fourteen persons have served as organizers
during the year, $40 meetings held aud aid
In organization given to thirty-one states.
The report made strong plea for the oh
servation Of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's birth
day as a fitting occasion for the diffusion of
suffrage sentiment. 1t closed by expressing
the conviction that II Is possible to build
a great organization based on the one plat
form of the enfranchisement Of women.
The plan of work for 1896 was presented
at this afternoons session Miss Anthony,
the president made an address, urging
women to watch all political proceedings ard
to secure from candidates for office pledges
to support woman suffrage She commented
on the influence of women at the polls in
Kentucky New York and elsewhere and
criticised men whom they had indirec. .ly
helped for not standing by them when the
woman suffrage test came.
A number of reports from the field were
submitted by working organizers and Maine
was pointed 70 as the next state to follow
the example of Wyoming AMI Utah. The
latter part of the session was devoted to a
parliament Of methods"
The evening session was devoted to re-
view of the field work In various states and
Mrs. Sanders, wife of ex-United States Sena-
tor Sanders from Montana, predicted that
Montana would soon contribute another star
to the flag of the suffragists. In lengthy
address Miss Elizabeth B. Curtis, the daugh-
ter of the late George W. Curtis charged
the men "at the top and not at the bottom y

WASHINGTON Jan. s5s-strong opposition
to the ousting OF the,y yintruders OF the
Cherokee nation in the Indian territory be-
fore their claims to citizenship san be passed
upon by representatives iof the federal gov
ernment is made nsa' report by Secretary
Smith, forwarded todAy to the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs in rsponse to a
request for his opinion on a senate joint
resolution. Secretary Smith recommends
that congress Immediately provide some
mode by which the decision of the Cherokee
nation as to the citizenship Of lntruders can
be reviewed. "Averse as I am," he said,
''to disregard the treaties made with Indian
tribes, l believe that those of the alleged
intruders, who claim to be citizens of the
Cherokee nation, or to be entitled to citizen
ship under that nations existing legislation,
should have the action of that nation with
regard to their citizenship reviewed by rep
resentatives of the United States before the
government undertakes to enforce the ad-
verse findings as to the citizenship. When
ever the decision of the Cherokee nation
Is sustained and the claim to citizenship
by the alleged intruder denied, then the
intruder, under the plan | suggest. should
be removed from the territory at once, in
compliance with the agreement made between
the United States and the Cherokee nation.
But whenever this impartial tribunal holds
in a particular case that the alleged in
truder Is, in point of fact. citizen Of the
Cherokee nation, or entitled under the laws
and usages of that nation to citizenship, then
do not think the United States should take
any part In his removal"
Continuing, the secretary says that after
the ratification by congress on March 3,
1S93 of the agreement Of December 10, 1881,
between the United States and the Cherokee
nation, this department held that by the
terms of that government the Cherokee
nation is to be the sole Judge of any right
Of any person to citizenship within that
nation, and when person is declared to be
an intruder, the United States authorities, on
demand Of the principal chief. are required to
eject him. There is therefore, according to
the report, no authority now remaining with
the department to review the decisions
rendered by that nation to who are or who
are not intruders. 1t would, accordingly, be
the departments duty to undertake to eject
from the territory those designated as in
truders by the Cherokee nation but strong
representations Of the injustice Of such action
have been made.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR IN CUBA.

General Marin Now Sends Daily
Bulletins to Washington.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Captain General
Marin cabled today from Havana to Minister
Dupuy de LONE saying that it was believed
Jose Macso's insurgent band had been To-
Gated east of the Couto river, In the province
of Santiago de Cuba, and that Rabi was
wounded. This is regarded as of special i'm
portance. as the army Of Maceo and Rabi
has been depended upon by the insurgents
to succor Gomez in Havana province.
Maceo's position on the Couto river 1t is said,
is such that 1t will take him thirty days to
reach Gomez, even If unopposed. The wound
Ing of Rab is believed TO cripple his division,
leaving Gomez alonel to withstand the Span
ish forces which purpose closing in on him.
The dispatch also gives the particulars OF
the killing OF "the Mexican" which is be-
lieved to refer to CARA formerly Of Texas,
who has been foremost in burning planta-
items. The captain generals dispatch is as
follows: 50,

plies. Following up the insurgents he found
a band Of about 300 commanded by the
Mexican, dislodglng Ithem and killing four,
among them the Mexican. They had many
wounded and the troops captured also horses
