NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Julian Ralph,
the London correspondent of The journal,
says
"The most important information
reached concerning the international
scheme for the settlement of the Nenc-
Zuclan dispute is that it is the scope of
the plan for the new court, now roughly
agreed on between England and the United
States, to embrace within its jurisdiction
matters far beyond the present time-far
beyond the Importance of the Venezuelan
difficulty.
IF congress rati1lcs the arrangement, as
England surely will, am told that the
new international court is likely to take
rank in history with the past congresses
mt Vienna, Berlin and Berne, because it is
aimed to make it a perpetual institution
for the hearing and settlement Of all cases
of complaint or irritation between the two
countries
Indeed Sit is said that already both
governments are discussing the advantage
of leaving to this court the final DISPOSE
tiOn of the status of Cuba among the ma
tions as soon as the Venezuela difficulty is
settled.
England is said to be as anxious for
this action us is the United States, because
her immense tobacco and cigar trade with
Cuba is prostrate causing a great loss to
English operators
Il am told that the attitude of England
favors an agreement that America should
hold future supervision over Cuba She
knows that the other powers will not OBJ
jcct to this mode of ending the impotent
reign of Spain in that island and she also
knows that she will not be allowed by
either Europe or America to exercise this

Normal Schools Winter Term.

The East Stroudsburg state normal
school will open its winter term on
January 4, 1897, under the most encour-
aging circumstances. Even as early as
today applications for rooms are coming
in in such quantities as to insure a sue
cessful term. Notwithstanding the dull
times during the past few years the
growth of the school has been unsur-
passed by any similar institution in the
state. a hcaithful location, good board
and competent faculty have done
much in making the East Stroudsburg
normal school what it is today.

1.-THE Munchausen of Monkeyiand"

LONDON Nov. 11.-Truth has an article
covering l = pages, headed "The Mum
chauscn of Monkeyland, dealing with
Professor Garner, who claims to have dis
tinguished words in n monkey language,
and his book, repeating the old charges
made by Truth of imposturc, and declar-
ing that the whole story of Professor Gar
ner's adventures among the gorillas is an
impudent humbug. The article suggests
that the French missionaries mt Fernanvez,
to whom it alleges Professor Garner gave
II promissory note for 800 francs for board
and lodging, should sign a Judgment in
England on the unpaid bill and should
attach the proceeds of his book. Truth
concludes that this would set at rest for
ever the question of where Professor Gar
ner really spent those 100 days and nights.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Senator Garter
of Montana says that he sees no prospect
of any important legislation at this session
of congress. He did not believe the Ding

session would be devoted to the appropria

parties for position. AS to tariff legisla
ton in the next congress, Senator Garter
said that he did not believe the Demo
Gratis would obstruct, no matter what the
silver Republicans might do In his opin
ion those who were claiming and believed
that the hard times could be cured by
silver must allow Republican tariff legis
lation to be enacted, or they would meet
the tariff fight in the next campaign.

Jr,., commander of the European squad

We'll give you all the assistance you
want. You'll take those refugees safely
