THEY BOTH AGREE.
The Venezuela Question to be
Adjusted Soon.
Sec. Olney and Mr.. Chamberlain
Reach Terms Of Sett lc Ment.

WASHINGTON. d. G., Oct. 22-President
Cleveland. in his next annual message to
Congress. will be able to state that a definite
understanding has been reached with Great
Britain for the amicabe settlement of the
l0ng-pending Venezuela boundary dispute.
There are details yet to be perfected. but
none of them is Of such nature az to in
the least endanger the prospects for the final
disposition of the ease and the restoration
Of the diplomatic relations between Great
Britain and Venezuela during the present
term of president Cleveland.
There is absolutely reliable information
that when sir Julian Pauncefote arrives in
this country he will come with such instruc-
tions as to leave no room for doubt that he
and secretary Olney will be able in very
short time, to formally reach definite agree
ment for the final settlement Of the dis
pute.
The details of ambassador Pauncefote's
instruction will. of course. not be known
until after his arrival here, but the state de-
partment has information of the general ma
ture of the new propositions to be submitted
by the British government. and 1t can be
reliably stated that the president and secre-
tary Olney are satisfied from the information
they have that there will be absolutely no
difficulty in adjusting whatever slight diff
culties may still exist between the two cOun-
tries.
Since secretary Olneys returnt to Washing
ton he has had several conferences with min
lister Andrade. and has made him acquainted
with the discussions between himself and
Mr.. Chamberlain during the summer in re-
gard to the settled districts. Minister An
drado has therefore, had ample time to COM
municate with his government respecting
the new proposition which is to come from
Great Britain on this point.
The work is in such shape that 1t can be
finally completed in ample time to go to
Congress- with the presidents message. As
stated several times during the past sum
mer, the report Of the commission will be
favorable to the claims Of Venezuela.
Although it is not definitely known what
view the Venezuelan government will take
in the matter, secretary Olney is understood
to be informed that there will be no great
difficulty in adjusting the matter to the
satisfaction of all parties concerned and in
manner entirely honorable to Great Britain.
as well as to the United States. With an ar
bitration treaty finally agreed upon, the re-
port of the Venezuelan boundary commits
sion will be promptly submitted.

TO PROTECT MAINE MOOSE

NORCROSS, Me-, Oct 22-From here to
where Maine meets Canada, Mt fort
Kent and Madawaska, men do not talk pol
itcs or discuss the merits of free coinage.
One may travel weeks In northern Maine
and meet hundreds of men and never hear
anything talked about but the moose. Even
the men who do not read the papers
seem to know that the coming Legisla-
ture will be asked to put a close time on
moose for term of years in order to allow
the depleted herds time to recuperate. AS a
rule nearly everybody believes that some
such protection is needed. When people
try to fix the exact number Of years which
shall elapse before any more moose may be
slain there Is trouble.
Many well-informed guides who go from
here up the West Branch say that COW
moose are so plentiful and bulls so scarce
that 1t will take ten years to restore the
equilibrium Of the sexes. Opposed to these
the guides who, crossing from Chesuncook

The latest scheme by which the North
Pole might be reached has been promul
gated by NJ. G. l.. Pesce. an eminent French
scientist, who believes that the most certain
route is by submarine boat. From special
study OF this subject NJ. Pesce has arrived
at the conclusion that submarine navigation
is absolutely practicable. In moderate
weather NJ Pesce says the boat bound for
the Pole would stay on the surface Of the
sea as long rs it was fies. 1t would only be
on approaching ice that it would descend
to depth at which it would be able to pass
under the icebergs.
