BLACKBURN AND CARLISLE.
Indications Of u Prominent Funeral
Becoming Apparent.

NEW YORK, Nov 1O.-A Times spec
ial from Washington says:
Logan Carlisle affects Indifference to
probable trouble between himself and
Senator Blackburn. He makes light
of warnings given him by friends.
The friends OF the two will not talk
for publication, but they say privately
that Logan Carlisle is making too light
of the affair. They point out that beth
men frequent the same hotels; that
Blackburn lays his probable loss of all
chance of reelection to the Carlisles
and this, his friends say, intensifies
his bitterness toward Logan Carlisle
A southern gentleman attached to a
cabinet officer in an official capacity
said yesterday:
81 regard trouble between Logan Car
Isle and 10 Blackburn as altogether
likely, and I want to tell Logan one
thing: Should he have occasion to
strike Black burn he should do so with
cane, unless he be able to knock him
out with his fists, because if he simply
slaps Blackburns face the latter, who
is looking for trouble, will be armed
and will shoot him. I am from the
south. and 1 have seen too many men
shot because of their not armIng them
selves, not to warn my friends. If
Logan knocks Blackburn out with one
blow, there might be duel, but if he
simply slaps the senator there will be
a funeral. in my opinion, and Black
burn would come off the better man iU

BOSTON, Nov. 10.-The Washington
correspondent of the Globe telegraphs
to this effect regarding the settlement
of the Venezuela question and the
probability that a new treaty will soon
be signed:
misconception exists in regard to
the scope and character of the treaty.
1t will not be a treaty between the
United States and Great Britain, but
between the latter country and Vene-
zuela, the United States acting as the
friend of Venezuela, the phrase used
by Lord Salisbury in one of his dis
patches to the British ambassador.
This makes it unnecessary that the
treaty should be sent to the senate for
ratification, as would be the case with
any other treaty, but the convention
Will have to be acted upon by the
Venezuelan congress before it becomes
positive.
There is little likelihood that Vene-
zuela will interpoSe any objections to
the terms of the treaty, and if the
Caracas government proves obstinate,
the United States will wash their
hands of the whole affair and allow the
South American republic to settle her
difficulties in her own way
The composition of the court of ar
bitration will be somewhat peculiar
Inc court Will consist of five members
two of them appointed by the United
States, two of them by the British
government and the fifth to be selected
Jointly by the other four In case they
cannot agree as to the selection of the
fifth member of the court, he will be
appointed by neutral power, probably
the president of the Swiss republic.
Venezuela will not be represented in
the court. 1t is believed the court will
set either in London or Washington;
that it will be required to organize
within four weeks after the signing of
the treaty, and that it's decision will
have to be rendered in six months.
Following the precedents in such
cases, both Venezuela and Great
Britain will be represented before the
court by counsel and agents for the
proper presentation of their respective
cases. The United States will not be.
Its interest in the matter ceases with
the signing of the treaty. 1t will have
performed its offic as the friend of
Venezuela and accomplish all which it
hoped to do.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1O-Every in
dication points to the probability that
within the next Is or 20 days, Sir Julian
Pauncefote and Secretary Olney, plenl-
potentiaries appointed for that purpose
by their respective governments, may
be able TO sign here, in Washington
the protocol of a proposed treaty. to
be subsequently submitted to their re-
spective governments for approval,
which win include within its provisions
a method of arbitrating the boundary
line between Venezuela and British
Guiana.
The exact terms of this important
convention are not yet definitely set
tled-far less signed. On the contrary,
verbal conditions are continually being
suggested, and agreed upon or moulneu
by cable messages between the plenl-
potentiarieS and the British foreign
Office.
But that the essential basis of the
treaty has been agreed upon, is made
clear in the correspondence which Sec
rotary Olney this afternoon felt JuStl-
fed in making public after LORD SANS
bury's significant speech at the LONDON
Mansion House last night. The basis
trict'' a term of go years of undisturbed
residence shall be considered as giving
the right TO possession. The acceptance
of this condition by Great Britain is
regarded as a distinct concession, mas
much as it brings under the award of
the arbitration tribunal (Which is TO
consist of FIVE distinguished persons.
not citizens of any American state) all
the districts which have been settled
since the Schumburgk line was drawn
in 1870
1t may take some days further to ar
range details as to time and place of
meeting of the tribunal, and as to the
selection of the arbitrators, but there
is every reason to believe that the pres
ident may be able TO announce to con-
gress when it meets in December next,
the signing of the preliminary procto-
col and to submit it to the senate for
ratification.
That this is a strong probability is
made clear by the announcement au-
thoriZed by the Venezuelan commission
today, that it will suspend the prepara-
ton of its report for the present but
will proceed with the compilation of the
important data it has collected.

CANTON, Nov. 1O.-Major Mckinley
had a good many visitors today, and
has been occupied most of the time in
receiving and talking with them. Gov
ernor-elect Pingree, of Michigan, came
from Detroit today to see the presi-
dent-elect. He talked for a consider
able time to Major Mckinley, and told
him all about the campaign in Michi-
gan. incidentally, he had something
to say about the availability of Gen
eral R. A. Alger for cabinet appoint
ment. Mr.. Pingree did not hesitate to
say to several persons here that he
was opposed to General Alger, and that
he did not think public sentiment in
Michigan was very much aroused in
behalf of the ex-governor. Mr.. Pin
gree also declared that while he did
not think the government should dis
criminate against silver or any other
product of this country, he had never
said he was in favor of free silver.
The members Of the Union Medical as
ISOLATION of northeastern Ohio called
in a body on Major Mckinley this
evening, and We're very cordially greet
ed by the presdent-elect Most of the
other callers today were persons who
had been actively engaged in various
forms of campaign work. William M.
Hahn, who had charge of a bureau at
the National Republican headquarters
in Chicago, came over from Mansfield
for a chat with Major Mckinley and
Colonel w. c. Haskell, formerly United
States marshal for the northern dis
trict of Ohio and sergeant -at-arms at
the Chicago headquarters; Judge A. L.
Morrison. of New Mexico. and Secre-
tary of State S. NJ. Taylor, of Column
bus, were among Major McKinley's
other visitors.
Major Mckinley is hearing a good
deal about the campaign and how the
victory was won from those who were
prominent in its conduct.
Major McKinley's mother and sister
spent the afternoon with Mrs. McKin-
ley, who is somewhat better today.
Major Mckinley would have had a
great many more callers this week. I
had not the impression that he had
gone to Cleveland gained wide cur
rency. He expects to leave on Thurs
days for a weeks visit with Colonel
Myron T. Herrick

It Suits Nrr. Morley.

LONDON. Nov. 1O.-The Rt Hon.
John Morley. formerly chief secretary
for Ireland, spoke tonight at Mont
rose, Scotland. which district he repre-
sents in the house of commons. In
the course of his speech he expressed
approval of Lord Salisburys statement
at the Guild hall banquet last night,
regarding the peaceful settlement of
the Venezuelan question. He says that
he did not believe there was any in
ternational discussion of more import
ance, not even that regarding the east
ern question, than the one relative to
permanent arbitration between Great
Britain and the United States. This
was greeted with cheers by the audi
ence.
Continuing, Mr.. Morley said he trust
ed that the two nations, which were
far ahead of the great military mon
archies in thousand other respects
had set them in this matter a splendid
and benefcent example

Former Hopes That the Latter May
Be Given Strength to Restore and
Establish the Prosperity of the
Nation.

CANTON, o., Nov. 10.-The following
letter has been received by Major Nc
kinney from ex-President Harrison:
THE use of the mails instead of the
wires as carrier of my congratulations,
does not imply that they are less. but
rather that they are more thoughtful
and deliberate. 1t is great honor, in

with a great national triumph The
issues forced to the front by the Chi
cago platform put the fight on such
lines that the Republican party could
use the old breastworks. and make an
unfailing appeal to the patriotism of
the south as wei, as the north l sin

wisdom and strength needed in this
emergency TO restore and establish the

BOWLER'S REPORT.
He Makes Few Suggestions, Which
He Thinks Should Be Needed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Comp-
troller Bowler, IN his annual report,
says that the unfinished business of the
first and second comptrollers' offices has
been practically disposed of. A few
accounts still remain on hand awaiting
the decision of the courts.
The report says: 1.-The work of COM
pleting the unfinished business of the
former comptroller and the commits
sioner of customs, the revising of ac-
counts on appeals and deciding of ques-
tons presented by heads of depart
ments and disbursing officers, together
with the routine work imposed upon
the comptroller's Office, has been of
such a character as to preclude, NTH
erto. the revision of accounts by the
comptroller upon his own motion, ex-
cept in a few isolated cases. 1t is be-
lieved that the work Of the office is now
in such condition that attention may
be given to this important provision of
the accounting system
Mr.. Bowler thinks that a limitation
should be put as to time when claims
can be presented to his office for settle
ment or reopening.
