DETAILS BEING FIXED.
The Arbitration of the Vene-
 zuelan Question.
ALL IS MOVING ALONG NICELY.

The Appointment of She Four Judicial
 Members ,f the Tribunal Only In the
 Way of Ahixing the Signatures to
 the Agreement Two Distinct Papers
 Made Necessary.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-But one point. q matter Of detad and not of merit, re- mains open between the United States and Great Britain in he setslement of the Venezuelan ques,loa, and cable grams passing between London and Washington give every reason to believe that this point which delayed the for nal atfixiug of signatures to the ar engagements of the settlement, will be determined within a day or two. It relates to the choice of four judicial members of the court of arbitration, two by this country and two by Great Brit ain
 Now that the facts of the agreement are known, fuller information is obtain able as 10 the form of the compact talk en. There are two distinct papers in the transaction. The first, and by far the most important one, is in the nature of solemn agreement between the United States and Great Britain by which the boundary question will be
 ettled and form a court of arbitration. It Is lacking in technical statistics of a treaty and the form is final agreement duly signed by representatives of the two governments on terms by which they will settle the differences arising out of their divergent views on the dis puted boundary question. Then be. cause the subject of the matter of the boundary itself lies between Great Brit ain and Venezuela the second paper was made necessary. This will be ill the form of treaty, the contracting par ties being Great Britain and Yenezue- h. This will explain some ambiguity of the question that has arisen as to the agreement and treaty Literally, the United States and Great Britain have made al agreement by which terms the arbitration treaty between Great Britain and Xenezuela is fl med. Each instru- ment will relate 10 the other and be part in common of au understanding on the entire subject In this way Vene- znela retains her attitude as contract ing party to the final treaty. But as she treaty is shaped by agreement the United States Is the instrument by which the full result Is accomplished, and the United States names two of the judicial arhlfrarors

Thursday there was great excite ment at Hotel Trulock. and tie guests of that excellent hostelry were on the qui vive of expectation, for 1t was reported and believed that William Jennings Bryan, the distln- guished candidate of the Democratic pnrty forthe Presidency of the United States, would arrive in Pine Bluff and be q guest at the hotel during the day.
 During the morning an express package addressed to William J. Bryan" was delivered at the hotel.
 A number of persons saw the pack age and soon the report beeame current that the greatest and most able advocate of the cause Of free silver was to pay our city q visit. The hotel people neither denied nor affirmed the rumor, and the package addressed to Wm. J Bryan remained as "eyidence" that Mir. Bryan was coming. and the report caused the hotel lobby to be crowded with peo- pie until after the late trains
 It is needless to say that Wm. J. Bryan did not put in his appearance to claim the package addressed to him, but Wm. c. Bryan, q St. Louis drummer, did He explained that the package expressed to him under the name of "Wm. J. Bryan, in- stead of Wm. C.
