The Delay in Agreement Is Caused by
Immaterial Additions to be Suggested.
Washington, Dee lit is learned
here that no serious difficulties have been
encountered in the Venezuelan boundary
negotiations since they were transferred
to Caracas 1t is true that Messrs. And
rade and Storrow expected TO sail for the
United States from La Guayra Thursday
last, after having completed their mis-
sion which was to secure the approval Of
Venezuelan government to the terms ar
ranged in Washington, but their deten-
ton is explained 10y the fact that the Ven
eguelan executive, after having given its
approval found that some amend
ments 10 the proposed treaty
were desirable These it is un-
derstood, are NOT of great Importance
and are rather in the nature of additional
safeguards than OF amendments OF the
articles Of agreement already arranged.
AS the matter thus far has not reached
the treaty stage and only threads Of a
greement have been indicated in the mem
orandum between Secretary 0lney and
Lord Salisbury, there are no technical
abstracts TO the proposed amendment
and the only question for consideration
is whether or not their proposal at this
stage will in any way jeopardize the en-
tire agreement or greatly delay its con
summation.

The anthracite coal trade continued to
improve last week. The cooler weather has
stimulated the consumption Of coal, and
tardy dealers and householders who have
been holding back their orders in the hope
that lower prices might prevail have been
disappointed. and they are now clamorous
for the immediate delivery Of supplies The
New England trade is reported active and
shippers report a scarcity of the brands and
sizes of coal wanted in the East while
vessels to carry it there are in greater de-
mand than supply at present, The Reading
Company reports that its orders for coal on
hand from the Eastern tide-water trade
will keep its barges busily engaged for a
month to come, while the other companies
are also behiudhand in filling their Eastern
Orders.
