WAR WITH VENEZUELA OVER.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Sir Julian
Pauncefore, British Ambassador, called
at the State Department at 12 o'clock
to-day for the purpose of presenting
TO Secretary Olney certain PROPOSE
tons, which, if accepted by The United
States, will probably settle the Vene-
zuela controversy. Owing to this be-
ing cabinet day, Sir Julian and the
Secretary had only ten minutes con-
ference The Ambassador carried a
large roll of documents, which he left
for the careful perusal of the Secretary.
1t can be stated authoritatively that the
propositions Sir Julian Pauncefote is
authorized by the British foreign Office
TO present to the State Department
embrace both the Venezuelan boun-
dary question and the question of n
general treaty between Great Britain
and the United States whereby all fu-
ture disputes will be submitted 10
arbitration. The nature of the pro-
posals is such that it is believed the
dispute over Venezuela is much nearer
to final solution than at any time since
the trouble began.

came from the skill with which he led
his party in several warm election con-
tests. The prestige he then acquired
led TO his election to the Speakership
after one of the most memorable can
vases in the history of the House. His
chief opponent was Senator Roger Q.
Mills, of Texas, whom he defeated
after a struggle that was prolonged
so that the House of Representatives
contrary to custom, assembled on the
opening day with the question of it's
next Speaker still in doubt. AS
Speaker, Mr.. Crisp was fair but firm.
His rulings have been upheld and,
though some times they were the
subject of considerable criticism from
his political opponents, he always COM
manded their respect and confidence.
He was pronounced advocate of the
free coinage of silver and ON one oc-
casion his casting vote as Speaker
saved the defeat of free coinage bill.
On the other hand it was largely due
to his firmness in ruling that passed
the Sherman silver repeal law through
the house, his ruling defeating
formidable filibustering movement, led
by Mr.. Land, of Missouri, and others.
Mr. Crisp was an Englishman by birth,
and in his early life had been identified
with the stage.
GOV. ATKINSON FOR SENATOR.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct 23-Gov. w. Y.
Atkinson, who has just been reelected
chief executive of Georgia for term
of two years, is prominently mentioned
as successor to the Senatorial seat
which would have been Mr.. Crisp's had
he survived. Should he enter and be
elected there would probably be a con-
test for the goyernorship between Hon.
Robert L. Berner and Hon. A. S. Clay,
chairman of th State Democratic Exc
cutiye committee. Gov. Atlxinson's s
choice as Senator would render neces-
sarv a special election for Governor.

Train Held up Near Kansas City and
Robbed at Pistol-Point

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. ga passen-
ger and express train on the Chicago
and Alton railroad, due here from Chi
cago and st. Louis at o'clock, was
held up and robbed by four. masked
men this evening at Blue Springs cut,
between Independence and Glendale,
Mo. The scene of the robbery is less
than twenty miles distance from Kan
sas City. The train was tagged at the
cut. While two of the robbers stood
guard over the passenger coaches, the
other two covered the conductor, en-
gineer and firemen with their pistols
and compelled them to go to the car.
There the robbers commanded the
messenger to pen the door of the car,
threatening to break in the doors
should he refuse. After some delay the
robbers were admitted. They compelled
the messenger to open the safe and eX-
tracted from it several packages. How
much booty was secured cannot be
ascertained at this hour, but the con-
ductor of the train states the bandits
secured nothing save several packages
OF jewelry. The robbers left the train
and entered the wood shed. Though
several shots were fired no one was in
iured. The train proceeded to Independ-
ence and information Of the robbery
was telegraphed from there. A deputy
sheriff and posse left Independence at
once and a squad of policemen was de-
tailed from here, but it is thought the
bandits are now safely out of the way.
There have been three hold-ups in the
Blue Springs cut. The James gang held
up a train there in 1881.

COMMITTEEMAN WASBBURN AND
CHAIRMAN JONES AGREE.
The NadonaI Chairman is in Faycr Of
Acceding to the Populists'
Demands.

Atlanta, Ga, oct 23.-It is learned
here on what is believed to be unim-
peachabie authority that fusion was
agreed on at Chicago yesterday be-
tween Senator Jones and Populist
committeeman Washburn, As a result
Mr.. Washburn left Chicago for Nash
vile, and Mr.. II. w. Reed left Atlanta

gress yesterday between Democratic
National Chairman Jones and the Ma
tional committeeman from Georgia.
Senator Jones wired his representa-
tive here in substance as follows: "We
must accede to the demands Of the
Populists for fusion in Georgia"
The reply in substance was:
The Populists of Georgia don't
want fusion. They demand a surren-
der"
To this Senator Jones replied IF
those are the facts, use your own
judgment"
1t appears from this that a general
plan Of aasion, satisfactory to the
Populists has been agreed on between
Messrs. Washburn and Jones, and that
Georgia alone stands in the way of
its cosummation.

ed by reporter to give out an inter
view replied that he had nothing to
say.
G. c. Henderson, Secretary of the
Populist State executive committee
says that fusion in Tennessee, was i'm
possible. Negotiations he said had
now passed that point where fusion in
this State could be thought of.
Chairman Washburn and State com
| mitteeman Reed, Of Georgia, have ar
rived in the city. They had a long
conference with Mr.. Watson. but what
transpired has not yet been learned.

mittee Of the Populist general commit
