with the Arrangements Made Between the
United States and Great Britain.
Washington, D. c., December IL
The unofficial reports from Venezuela
that a serious agitation has sprung up
against the boundary settlement agreed
on between the United States and
Great Britain causes much surprise.
and no little concern in official quarters
here. Minister Andrade and Mr..
James J. StOrrow were 10 have sailed
from La GuayTa the seaport Of Cara
cas-, yesterday noon on the Red d.
Steamer Philadelphia and that boat
was expected to reach New York on
the 18th. Mr.. Andrade had cabled the
time Of his leaving. as given In the AS
sociated Press dispatches on the day
the cable was received. and had added
an official caolegram to Mr. Olney
stating that President CrcspO apprOv-
cd the agreement and would call an
extra session of Congress 90 ratify IT,
For this reason therepOr's that Mr.
Andrade and Mr.. StOrrOw VIII not re-
turn at present, owingto expected de-
velopment growing ont Of the agitation
against the settlement is felt tOembar-
rass, and possibly imperil. the final adj
justment which had been confidently
expected at an early day
Up TO the present time President
Crespo has not called an extra session,
and thirty DAYS must oXprire after the
call before the Congress meets This
has led to a question whether Vene-
zvela should bear the heavy expense OF
an extra session cOnyening only one
month before the regular session OF
February 90.
The Venezuelan papers which reach
ed Washington on the last steamer are
being carefully scanned. lut they are
very guarded and appear to be subject
10 some government adyiseWont on the
subject. The arrival of Nlr. Andrade
and Mr. Storrow and their conferences
with President Crespo arc nor mem
toned. the only reference being an
eulOgistic welcome 10 Mr.. StGrrow La
Liberal treats the settlement as adj
yantageous. and says 10 not only aids
Venezuela. but establishes a great pre-

that they have been unable to secure

from Madrid states that the body has

Cuba viii live long. The deach of no
one can crush the brave spirly OF the
patriots of Cuba who are fighting gal
lantly for liberty"
The letter TO Mr.. Huau gives virtually
the same account of the am0Uscade and
death of NaCeO as already 5iven by the
Associated Press tonight. Mr.. Huau
said tonight:

WHY SHOULDN'T THE FARMERS
GET THEIR SHARE?

The Master of the State Grange Of
Virginia has issued an address to the
Grange, in which he says:
with an assurance Of an effort on
the part of the incoming admins
tration to increase tariff taxation, it
behooves the intelligent farmer to
demand an equal share of the benefits
for the products of the farm, and
according to my idea, this can only
be done by adopting the export
bounty plan. suggested by David
Lubin, of California"
Mr.. Lubin's plan is the only one yet
proposed that contains any promise of
protection. In brief, he proposes that the
farmer be paid bounty on all agricultu-
raj products exported, so that the far
mer shall share in the benefits of protec-
ton. If the policy of protection is to be
made permanent, If the manufacturers
are to be helped by the imposition of
by taxing them is to be continued as
government scheme, if this is to mark
our legislation, then Mr.. Lubin's scheme
ought to be adopted, or some other meth
cd devised to give the farmer his share.
1T is true that when all classes are given
an equal pull at protection. nobody will
be benefited. But it may be that the
surest and safest way of exploding the
whole miserable system of taxing five
men for the benefit of one, is to let it be
carried out to its legitimate conclusion.
Ii others are to have bounties and
taxes levied for their benefit, why not the
farmer? Let Mr.. Lubin's plan be brought
forward, and when the steel, iron, wool,
tin and other manufacturers enjoying the
benefits Of protection come forward to
Mr.. Mckinley, and like Oliver Twist,
say, please, sir, I want some more"
let Mr.. Lubin be on hand with his army
OF farmers to demand that bounties shall
not, like kisses, go by faovr, but be equal
ly divided between men Of all pursuits.
