THE PLYMOUTH PROPHET
Gives His Winter Forecast Says II Will Be
Cold Hard Season.

Following is the annual weather pre-
diction for the winter season by the
Plymouth prophet. VIM. II. Sears:
Il submit my annual prediction for
the coming winter. 1t will be the re-
verse of last winter. There will be no
lack of snow and ice, and those that
anticipate an open winter will be much
disappointed. The storm periods for
the most part will be snow
The Oldest inhabitants in Maine
won't have occasion to say this is the
mildest December they ever saw. as
they did one year ago this month.
apprehend the most extreme cold peri
DDS for the winter will be the middle of
January and the last part of February.
! make this prediction because of eX-
perience in making a speciality of
weather that | claim is invalua BILE.
The generality of wind for this
month will be east to west, from the
southerly section. Wind blowing from
the opposite direction will most likely
be attended with snow.
The utility of this prediction will
hold good for marine or agricultural
purposes. Yours respectfully,
WIN. H. SEARS.

yellow fever is very prevalent at that
port and that it has broken out among
the shipping, which includes vessels

THE VENEZUELAN MATTER.
Understood that Presidents Message Treats
Of II at Length.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The proba BILE
assent of Venezuela to the proposed
treaty of arbitration of British Guiana
boundary dispute through the good Of
fee of the United States. and the prac-
teal conclusion of a general arbitra-
ton convention between Great Britain
and the United States. il is stated. will
form two of the most important diplo-
matte documents in the President
message TO Congress, tomorrow.
What Is understood to be in nearly
al the ESSENTIAL particulars. copy of
the preliminary agreement entered
into some weeks ago between Secre-
tary Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote
on the Venezuelan matter, was made
public. this morning. The draft of the
proposed treaty itself. which the Ven
czuelan minister, Mr.. Andrade. carried
with him to Caracas to lay before his
government is more elaborate than this
a greement.
1t starts with preamble of consider
able length and in that portion which
refers to the 80 year occupation of the
territory in dispute embodes other
points than those of the mere occu-
Fancy and political control mentioned
III sfAN Iiiiiiiiiii<iiS Wv Iil'il
will be taken into consideration by the
tribunaD. These are expressed in tech
meal terms which international law
yers will understand. but which would
not be readily comprehended by others.
Advices from Caracara do not give
the impression that the Venezuelan
cabinet is dissatisfied with the treaty
and that Minister Andrade, who will
sf,
will bring with him draft of a new
treaty as modified by the Venezuelan
authorities. There are grounds for the
belief that President Crespo and his
constitutional advisors have given full
adhersion to the proposed treaty. I'm
der these circumstances it will be
signed by Mr.. Andrade, representing
the South American republic. and Sir
Julian Paunceforte on the part of
Great Britain. after which the United
States will drop out of the matter, well
satisfied to have been the medium of
bringing two countries together and
eifecting a settlement of their long dis
pute through the peaceful channel of
an international board of arbitrator.
While it is entirely true that the rati-
fication of the treaty must still depend
upon the will of the Venezuelan Con-
gress. no doubt is felt that that body
will indorse President Crespo's action
In regard to the general treaty of
arbitration between the United States
and Great Britain it is stated that the
Presidents message will show that the
negotiations are practically concluded
and it will be The Presidents pleasure
within q few weeks at the utmost to
lay the treaty before the Senate for
Its consideration. 1t is substantially
finished now. excepting a few matters
of detail that are still the subject of
correspondence. but respecting which
there will DE little if any additional
delay.

-Messrs. Boatner of Louisiana, and

tlemen enjoy the very unusual dis
tinction of having twice received GER
tifcates Of election to one Congress
At the last session. the seats were de-
clared vacant, but the contestants did
not succeed in establishing their
rights thereto, and new elections were
ordered to fill the vacancies.
Since Congress adjourned another
vacancy has 'occurred-that occasioned
by the death OF ex-Speaker Crisp.
His son, who was his fathers clerk,
has been nominated to fill the unex
pired term, but the election will not be
held until the 10th.
The death of the late ex-Speaker
Crisp will probably be announced by
one Of his former colleagues, and after
the reading of the Presidents message,
the House will adjourn in his honor.
Mr.. Blue, chairman Of the sub-com
mittee Of the committee on appropria-
tons, at a suitable opportunity, will
report the general pension bill to the
House. and announce a day for its
consideration. This will doubtless be
early in the week
