An Agreement on the Question of Arbitra.
tion May he Reached Before Next De.
cember.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The dispatch
of Secretary Olney to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, British ambassador, re-
ferred to in the house of commons de-
bate Friday, was considered by many
the most important document in the
arbitration correspondence between
this country and Great Britain.
The dispatch was devoted to dis
cussion of proposals submitted by
Lord Salisbury for the settlement Of
the Venezuelan boundary dispute, and
concluded with counter proposals
which Mr.. Balfour said Friday were
regarded by the foreign office as open
ing the way for an equitable settle
ment of the difficulty.
State department officials are highly
gratified with the tone of Mr.. Balfour's
reply to Sir VIM. Harcourts query
about the effect on the government of
the dispatch, and while in the absence
of Secretary Olney, who has been ex-
clusively in charge of the negotiations,
nothing definite can be learned of the
succeeding correspondence, if any,
that has passed, confidence is expressed
that an agreement will be reached be-
fore next December for an exhaustive
arbitration of the Venezuelan -Guianan
boundary controversy.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 15.-In pitched
battle Friday evening between strik.
ing employees of the Brown hoisting
works and party Of nine worlxmen re-
turning home, four men were shot
two fatally.
The fatally injured are: George
Plumb, one of the Brown Co.'s work.
men; George Larsen, striker
Those less seriously hurt are: AL
Caldwell, an employe, shot in the right
leg and shoulder; Hixley, striker, shot
in the left shoulder.
Several bystanders were hit by the
flying bullets, but their names have
not been learned.
The outrage was one of the cul-
minating features of the great strike
inaugurated by the employees of the
Brown Hosting and Conveying Ma
chine Co. June 25 last. Two lives had
already been sacrificed in the trouble,
and for weeks the works have been run
under military and police protection,
and the 300 non-union men escorted to
their homes by armed officers to pre-
vent murder. The striking workmen
put up big fight to beat the Brown
company, but failed.
Friday night a party of ten strikers
went to the corner of Wade Park and
East Madison street, and laid in wait
for the workmen who came by on their
way home from the Brown works.
There were nine men in the little
group of workmen with their dinner
pals. Without a moments warning
the strikers rushed from behind sa
loon, where they were in hiding, and
with cry of ''Scab," began shooting
into the crowd. A few of the work
men were armed and returned the fire
The battle lasted about three min
utes, in which about thirty shots were
fred, when the strikers fed. When the
police arrived, in response to riot
call, several arrests were made among
the strikers.
Ever since the tronble began the
strikers and their sympathizers have
carried on guerrilla warfare against
the men who took their places. They
have assaulted them, stoned theil
houses and boycotted them at the
stores.
About week ago the five companie.
of militia were withdrawn from the
Brown works and the police protection
taken away. The strikers applied fol-
court injunction and were refused anc
since then have become doubly re
vengeful.

CHAMPION HORSE JOCKEY.
Fred Tarsl IN said 60 Re the Best Rider
in the world.

Undoubtedly the premier
jockey Of this country today is
Fred Taral, and it is questionable
whether there is anybody in Eng
land his equal, much less his
superior. In stature Taral is
short of limb and body, with
splendid shoulders, a good chest
and loins, strong, medium length
ened arms, and hands of steel and
velvet combined. Like all Ame.
rican jockeys, he rides with short
rein and short stirrup, and while
he "perches" in the saddle, rather
than sits down squarely into a
graceful, easy seat, still he gives
one the impression of great force,
driving power and complete con-
troll over his mount; and when
you see him in the last sixteenth
Of a hotIy contested race, Taral
and the horse seem moulded into
one; whip, spurs, hands are going,
and yet Taral is there on his
horses shoulders, "his horses
mouth in his lap,n rs the saying
goes. and his seat is as firm and
solid as the Jockeys art can make
it.
l have seen Taral change his
whip from the right to the left
hand, when hemmed in, says a
correspondent of tho Philadelphia
Times, 30 that he could not use
his right hand at all, never drop
his horses head for n part of a
which would have cost
him the race-and then 60 on and
win by an eyelash or a lip on the
post. This Is jockeyship. Taral
points out his chin in a peculiar
manner when in the saddle, and it
gives him such an aggressive look
that once you have seen him ride,
you would know it to be Taral,
even without the colors. Taral is

descent who have made success
