VENEZUELAN QUESTION.

40 Regular Meeting OF the Commlssion
festcrdRy--The Itumors from Abroad.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2i.-Inasmuch
as the Venezuelan commission Rt the
conclusion OF its last meeting adjorrn-
ed to meet next Friday, there was no
regular meeting to-day, although three
OF the members, President Brewer and
Messrs, Alvey and White. held u con-
ference with the secretary OF the COM
mission. Mr.. Malet- Provost, to compare
notes as 70 tbe progress OF the work.
The two absent members. Messrs. cou-
dert and Gilman were also communi-
Gated with. At present the commission
Is awaiting the receipt OF the evidence
which Great Britain and Venezuela
have promised to submit, and when
that is at hand II Is expected that rapid
progress can be made. Meanwhile.
however, the time Is being employed to
the best advantage in the prosecution Of
individual resources by the members OF
the commission and much valuable
data has been thus collected.
The persistency with which the ru-
NOR comes from across the water that
our government has arrived NJ I'M un-
OerEtanulng WIN lEeuI l3tlIlln upOH u
modified foEm OF arbitration OF the
Venezuelan controversy at last begins
to cause this idea TO be seriously enter
taIned here. As far Us the published
correspondence shows there has been
no exchange OF notes between the two
governments since the receipt OF Lord
Salisbury's response. In the shape OF
two separate notes, dated November %,
last year, to Secretary Olney's note OF
Inst July. Inquiry fails TO show that
there has been any formal exchange OF
notes since that date. but there Is rea-
son to believe that. either through Mr..
Buyard in London, or Sir Julian
Pauncefote in Washington, the two
governments have been ldroltly sound
ing each other, to ascertain how an ar
rangement OF the difficulty. which ap-
pears from the last two notes eX-
changed to be very serious. can be ef-
fected without conveying the impress
sion that either party has surrendered
the principles upon which II has took Its
stand.
So far Il is learned there Is good rea-
son to hope for q most satisfactory out
come OF the negotiations. probably in
the line Of mixed arbitration and nego-
tiatlon suggested by Lord Salisbury, in
one OF his speeches in England, and af-
te=wards enlarged upon by a member Of
the statf OF one OF the leading British
newspapers.

While money markets are growing cas-
Ter as rapidly rs could be expected after
the withdrawal OF over S0,000.00o from
unemployed funds. the expected activi-
ty in commercial tones does not appear,
as offerings are small.
Prices OF commodities as a whole are
now ut the lowest average ever known.
In almost nil manufactured products
decline continues, though IN small
classes, quotations nre so irregular that
the change cannot be accurately meas-
ured. Bessemer plg Iron and Grey

and structural beams and angles have
been reduced to secure business, but

her relations with the pastor were far

At her own request the doors of the

the council TO listen without delay TO
his denial OF tho serious allegations OF
Mrs. Stockton.
While Mrs. Stockton was the most
important witness Of the day. she did
not supply the only sensational incl

commotion by delivering an hysterlcal
address from the platform. She was led
shricking from the council chamber.
