The Negotiations Between the Gov
ernments stilI in Progress.
London, July lin the House of Lords
to-day Lord Salisbury presented the pa
pers in the boundary dispute be-
tween Great Britain and Venezue-
Ia Lord Salisbury, in presenting
the documents, said that the ne
gotiations between Great Britain and
the United States in regard TO the Ven
ezuela matter were still in progress. The
government, he added, did not believe
that the claim made by Venezuela was a
suitable subject for arbitration, but when
the facts in the case as regards the past
history of Venezuela We're obtained he
thought that the diplomatic question in
volved could be easily adjusted.
Lord Salisbury stated that concurrently
with the negotiations which We're in pro-
gress with the United States in regard TO
the dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela negotiations were also going
on between the British and American
governments contemplating the system of
a general arbitration of questions which
might arise between the two nations.
This, however, he said, was matter
which required great care and circum-
spection.
Washington, July 1.-THE efforts of the
United States and Great Britain to agroe
upon general arbitration treaty for the
settlement Of all controversies through
the establishment of a permanent tribunal.
as well as the progress of diplomatic me-
gotiations toward solving the Venezuelan
problem, are set forth in thirteen COM
munications made public by the state
department tonight. While they consti-
tute the first authoritative disclosures up
on these great questions since President
Cleveland's famous Chrstmastide mes
sage, to congress, IL will be found that
previous reports of the Southern Asso-
ciated Press of the negotiations between
the two governments have accurately out
lined the course of events.
Little progress toward a general arbi-
tration treaty is disclosed by the docu-
ments An outline in part of the pro-
posed procedure is laid down and the
views of the two governments are so ex-
plicitly stated that future discussion may
be confined toward narrowing the few d.
vergencies of method. The further fact
is made apparent that the United States
has not relaxed its vigil any In demand
ing just settlement Of the Venezuelan
boundary question, and has rejected the
British proposals for abitrating that dis
pute under terms involving the surrender
of any part Of Venezuela's claims.

\ GREAT TOMATO PLANT.

CORD>BREAKING PACE.

J. II. Jeffress, Of Berkeley, Cal.
is the posscasor Of tomato vir@
I7I1 feet il height and twelve.
feet III BREADTH which lie has
trained up the side Of his house.
The vine is just seventeen
months old, sa S the Sal Fran
cisco Call, and from it already
there have been picked 900
pounds of fine, large, marketable
tomatoes. The prospects are
favorable for the yielding Of as
much more.
The vine witlstood remark
ably the cold weather of last
winter, and only ceased to bear
during the months of December,
January and February. During
the winter it shed its leaves
after the manner ofan apple tree,
but in the early spring new
shoots and hew foliage were sent
out.
The vine is. the pride of the
community, and scores Of people
from miles around have come to
gaze on this prolific specimen of
vegetable life. It is to Berkeley
what the famous spreading grape
vine i'll the Corpontcria Valley
IS to Santa Barbara.
y tomato vine seventeen feet
IL heighth and five years old was
reported from San Diego county
some time ago, but the one in
Berkeley is taller by half a foot,
and is less than one third as
old.
"The vine is of the Excelsior
Variety SAID Mr., Jeffress, "aud
when we planted it little did we
think that it would reach such
proportions. It's development
was SO rapid that Our special ats
tentlon was directed to it. We
trained itup the side of the house
and have given it much care.
The most remarkable thing of
all to Inc is the fact that the vine
Is growing Oh the west side of
the house, and gets only the
AFTERNOON sun. While this con-
dltion is a disadvantage in sums
mer, it is all advantage III winter.
The vine will probably reach
the thirty foot mark before it
stops growing. We may have
10 erect a frame work to keep the
vine from breaking down with
its own burden"

ALL BEEN HEARD BY JUDGE
OTIS.
TIME ALLOWED FOR BRIEFS.
AN ATTEMPT TO INTRODUCE EVIL
DENCE OF A SENSATIONAL
KIND FAILED.
CAPT. BERGER ON WITNESS STAND,
Deceased Told Him His Wife Was
InpOrtunfng Him to Disinherit
His Daughter.

The long drawn out Lohlker will con-
test was concluded before Judge Otis
yesterday afternoon, when the matter
was finally argued by the attorneys and
submitted to the court Each of the
litigants was allowed ten days in
which to file briefs. when the court viii
review the case preparatory to render
ing a decision.
Capt. Berger was on the stand yes
terday morning and testified to having
met Mr.. Lohlker on Seventh street
shortly before his death and to having
a conversation with him concerning
the making of will. AT that time Mr..
Lohlker said he was contemplating the
making of a will and that his family
was causing him considerable trouble
With respect to the matter. His wire,
he said, was continually importuning
him to disinherit his daughter. Mr.
Lohlker had remarked that he intended
to do what was right by all of his
children, but that the present Mrs.
Lohlker and his son William, had en-,
deavored to influence him.
DR. Bole, called by the attorneys for
the appellant was asked a lengthy
hypothetical question, covering the
facts in the case as they appear III
evidence, and then asked if these facts
were true if in his opinion Mr.. Lohlker
had not entertained an insane pre-
JUDGE against his daughter, Jessie.
Witness answered in the negative ana
maintained his assertion throughout a
confusing cross examination.
Attorney Chaplin, for the heirs, placed
Mrs. Mary Fritz on the stand and pro-
posed to introduce evidence of a sensa,
tional nature concerning certain letters
alleged to have passed between George
Fritz, a son of the witness, and Mrs
Jessie Lonergren, while the latter was
in ST. Louis, but the court refused To
admit the testimony.
Mrs. Jessie Lonergren is the appel
liant in the action being tried and
through her attorneys appeal from the
probate and allowance of her fathers
will by which she was cut off with $5
bill from sharing in an estate valued at
$4,000.
