VENEZUELAN. COMMISSION
First Full Meeting Hold Today at the State
Department.
Secretary Olncy Meets and Spends
siOn-ChOOsinE a Secretary.

The Venezuelan boundary commission
held a meeting in the diplomatic room of
the State Department today. All the MEM
bers were present, including Prof. A. d.
White, who arrived here last evening from
Ithaca, N. Y. He was the first member 10
put in an appearance and he took occasion
to pay his respects to Secretary Olney.
While they were chatting Messrs. Brewer,
Alvey, Coudcrt and Gilman arrived and
without losing any time in empty formali-
ties, the commissioners repaired to the
diplomatic chamber and entered at once on
the consideration of the important business
with which they are charged.
The session began promptly at 1890
o'clock and lasted continuously without a
break until 3 o'clock. Inasmuch as Mr..
Blandford, private secretary to Secretary
Olney, is constantly engaged with his regu-
lar official duties, it became necessary to
select some one else temporarily to dis
charge the duties of secretary Of the COM
mission. Mr.. Frederick Haig, private sec
retary to Mr.. Justice Brewer, who is an
expert stenographer, acted in that capacity
at today'S meeting.
The principal business of tcday's session
related to The selection of permanent sec
retary and his assistants, Including trans
lators, etc. 1t developed that there was
conflict of opinion as to the best man for
the office of seer atary, ind most of the
session was consumed in The consideration
of that matter. The filling Of this office
was regarded as one of the first duties of
the commission. inasmucn upon the sec
retary will devolve much of the work Of
organizing the working force of the COM
mission.
1t was the original intention to have
held morning and an afternoon session.
but this plan was abandoned in favor OF
a continuous session.
About 30 o'clock Secretary Olney was
irvited into the room and spent nearly
half an hour with the Commissioners.

STOPPED UNTIL SPRING.
Cold Weather Prevents Conduit Build
fng-Ninth Street Cars to BE Heated.

The continued cold weather has caused
cessation of the work upon the new cleo
tric system which is being placed upon the
main branch of the Metropolitan Railroad
Company, and it will not be taken up again
until spring. 1t was found that the con-
crete filling of the conduit, which is COM
posed largely OF cement, would not set IL
laid when the temperature was down
low, hut would crumble and break;
consequently 1t was deemed best to
discontinue work altogether. 1t was ex-
pected when the conduit was commenced
that the new system woull be in place and
in operation from 18th street northeast TO
9th street northwest before Christmas, and
this announcement was made by the COM
pany, causing much ratification among
the patrons of the road residing east of 9th
street and especially those living on Capt.
tol Hill. Their disappointment is natural
ly keen. hut the delay was unavoidable
In few days all the trailers on the 9th
street branch Will be heated by electricity
as the Chevy Chase electric cars of the
Capital Traction Company have been for
some time. The material necessary for
adding this comfort to the cars is already
at the power house and is being placed in
the various cars as rapidly as possible.

The Old Veterans Are Taking 1t Up
and Talking About 1t.

and Talking About 1t.
Houston, Tex, Oct. 1.-THE old
Confederate soldiers, or many of them
here, are much wrought up over the
branding the conduct of General
Buckner in surrendering Fort Donel-
son as 'cowardly." 1t is particularly
true of those who were in the west
ern army, and in talk with several
today, they say if it is proved beyond
a doubt, they will not vote for Gull
bersOn, and further, that when the
fact is made known generally among
the veterans who stood behind Buck
ner on his side during the late war,
very few, if any of them will vote for
him. An old veteran who has just
come back from the country, stated
that in a conversation held yesterday
with three of the old bods, each said
he was against Culberson if he made
such a talk as has been attributed to
him. The fact is being taken up here
and these old heroes will make them
selves felt in this election when the
time rolls round.
1t may be that no step will be taken
to act collectively i'm the matter by
the "confeds," but there will be some
strong voting done individually on
election day.
