A SERIOUS RISK.
British Statesman Sees Trouble Ahead
Over Venezuelan Dispute.


London, Oct. 16.-Sir Edward Clarke,
@. c.. who was solicitor general in Lord
Salisbury's previous ministry. in speak.
ing publicly at York, expressed great
anxiety over the outcome of the Ven.
ezuelan dispute, in view of the approach
or the presidential election. He said the
decision of the American boundary com
mission would be against England, not
because it was a hostile commission, but
because he believed that no honest and
impartial arbitrator or commission
could decide in favor of England's claims.
upon the evidence.
I'VE need not have recognized the COM
mission" he said, "we' were not called
upon to negotiate treaties with the
United States with regard to Venezuela,
but IL the Blue book containing the Ven
ezuelan brief, represented the real and
moderate contention Of Venezuela, there
ought TO be immediate negotiations, and
consent to arbitration. England should
be prepared TO accept the consequences
of such arbitration in the limitation line
which. after all. matters very little.
IF the United States attempted to
force upon us the inevitable decision OF
their commission. passionate resentment
would be aroused here, serious for both
countries. That is why we are in what
conceive to be serious risk"

An Effort at Pacincation.

Atlanta, Oct. 16.-The proposed con-
ference between a subcommittee OF the
Populist national executive committee,
headed by Senator Butler. and Thomas
Watson, Populist vice presidential nomi-
nee. is expected TO devefop a political
sensation. 1t is generally believed In in
side circles here that the visit of the COM
mittee will result in formal request for
MIR. Watson to withdraw. There are
numerous rumors of official positions to
be rendered Mr.. Watson an case he with
draws and the Democratic party is sue
cessful at the November election, The
stories Of the promised positions range
all the way down from a cabinet port

Information as TO just what. If anything.
will be promised TiAre n grave doubt
expressed. however, Fnat Mr.NWatson
will promise to withdraw. IL is freely
stated that the Populist manifesto was
by no means pleasing to the vice presi-
Dental candidate, and the committees
haste In notifying him of the intended
visit Is said TO have been the result OF a
fear that he would take precipitate ac-
zion before the conference could be held.
That fear was set at rest. however. by a
message which Mr.. Watson sent to
Chairman Washburn yesterday, express
Ing willingness to see the committee.

KIDNAPPING OF OSCAR HAPNER
Strange Disappearance OF six-Year-
Old Boy from His Home

Chicago November 24.-Little Oscar
Hapner. 6 years old. kissed his mother
good bye early last Monday morning
and went out 20 play near his home,
l49 wilmot avenue Since then not a
trace OF him has been discovered. al
though police detectives throughout the
city have been searching for him.
The circumstances surrounding the
strange absence OF the child point
strongly to kidnapping, and this theory
is strengthened by the fact that the
parents have had a similar experience
before. July IL Of this year another son
10 years old. was kidnapped from Mil
waukee avenue and was not recovered
until last Saturday. The father and
mother believe that the same man who
took the first child also kidnapped the
second.
Another peculiar feature OF the case is
that a purse containing $40 in bills dis
appeared from the Hapner home the
day the boy disappeared. Mrs. Hapner
is convinced that little Oscar took the
money. having been induced TO commit
the theft by the man who afterward
stole the boy.
Lieutenant Revere. of the West North
avenue police station. was notified of
the disappearance and officers in all the
stations were instructed to hunt for the
lost boy. The case has a good deal OF
mystery attached to it. The man who
kidnapped the elder boy last July at
tempted to get a ransom Of $1,000, the
boys mother says. but, as the family
is in poor circumstances. Mrs. Hapner
attributes such an attempt as an act
of insanity on the part of the kidnaper
When the child disappeared in July
the family spent much time and money
in locating him, and finally found him
in company with man outside of Chi
cago. This man, Mrs. Hapner says, is
not related in any to the child. and he
had been acquainted with the family
only three months. He poisoned the
boys mind against his parents by tell
ing the lad that the family intended
to send him to a reform school and to
do other things which the child would
not like.
