RICHARD II. ALVEY, chief justice of
the United States court of appeals
in the District of Columbia, has
been asked by President Cleveland to
become a member of the Venezuelan
commission and the noted jurist has
the matter under consideration.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and his ad.
visers, it was learned on the 9th,
were strongly opposed TO the house
bond bill, and this feeling caused Sec
rotary Carlisle to write to Chairman
Dingley on the subject. Aside from
the very important objection that the
bonds are to be redeemed in coin in
stead of gold as recommended by the
president, it was understood that the
requirement that the bonds be sold by
subscription meets with disapproval.
The experience of the government, it
was said, with sales by advertisement,
showed the Intellectual character of
this means of protection to the gold
reserve.
A New YORK dispatch on the Goth to
the London Daily News said that it
was rumored that the secretary of
state had sent private telegram to
Lord Salisbury assuring him that the
passage of the Venezuelan boundary
commission bill was not to be con-
strued as hostile act
ALBEIT ID. ELLIOTT. a prominent
lawyer in Chiekasha, l. T. was quoted
at Washington as saying that the peo-
pie of that place were earnestly hoping
for the opening of the Kiowa, Conan
che and Wichita reservations for pub
lie sentiment The delay in opening
them to the whites, he said, retarded
the prosperity of several good towns
on the Rock Island railroad. As the
necessary treaties with the red man
have already been made, there was no
need of delay in settling the country.
