TALK OVER VENEZUELA.
Justice Brewer and Secretary OLE
ney Discuss the Matter
of a Report.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 25.-Justice
Brewer, president of the Venezuelan com,
mission. called on Secretary Olney at the
state department today and later had
a talk with Secretary Lamont. The call
on Mr. Olney was for the purpose of go
ing over the status of the Venezuelan
question with a view of determining what
nature OF report the Venezuelan commits
sion shall make to the President
The act creating the body contemplates
report to the President in time for
his report to Congress when it reassem-
bes next month. The recent agreement
for arbitration raises question as to
whether the report should go into the
subject matter of the dispute. Mr.. Oh
ney explained the terms Of the agreement
and its bearing on the commission.
A Troublesome Question.
Whether a report should be made go
ing into the merits of the controversy
was not decided, but will be determined
largely by the manner in which the agree
ment is received as conclusive. Both
the United States and Great Britain
have accepted it, but the position Of
Andrade and j. j. StorroW, one of the
Venezuelan counsel, being now at Cara
cas- awaiting a final decision.
1t can be stated positively that the
commissioners are prepared to- submit
a full report including the subject mat
Ter and final ruling as between Great
Britain and Venezuela if the President
and Mr. Olney desire it. Some of the
more material facts of the case have
been put in final shape and are now in
the form of proof sheets, but if the ar
bitration agreement is accepted as final
on all hands, then the report of the COM
mission may be merely formal so as to
come within the requirements of the law
May Never Report.
New York, Nov. 25.-Andrew r.
White, eX-minister to Russia and mem
Der Of the Venezuelan boundary commits
sion, is in the city. In regard to the
work of the commission he said to a
reporter: ''We are now in a state of
suspended animation, but ready if nee
essaPy to make a report within a week. ;"
evil the report ever be made, now
that arbitration has been decided upon
by Great Britain and the United States p
81 think not, but the commission has
served a useful purpose, not because it
was the best way to arrive at the solu-
ton. but because it has ushered in the
true means of solving the problem"

WILL DECIDE IN CAUCUS.
Republican Senators to Confer About the
Course to Pursue.

Republican Senators to Confer About the
Course to Pursue.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 25.-There is
such diversity of opinion among Re-
publican senators in the city as to the
course to be pursued at the next session
with reference to the tariff, that it is con-
sidered quite probable a caucus will be
held very early in the session to decide
upon line of action. Senator Sherman
is still understood TO hold to the opinion
that the Dingley bill should and could be
passed at the approaching session, while
other Republican senators disagree with
him. some as to the wisdom of the meas
ure and others as to. the possibility of
getting it through. 1t is believed that
IA line OF action can be agreed upon in
a party conference which will be salts
factory to all and which, when it is
once decided upon, will render unneces-
sary much useless agitation. The indi-
cations now are that the decision of the
caucus. when held. will be against taking
up the Dingley bill.

NO MORE OVERTIME.
Earnings of Letter Carriers Are to be
Materially Reduced.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 24-The sys-
tenn of allowing overtime claims of letter
carriers throughout the country will be
practically abolished soon. This is in ac-
cordance with the policy begun by First
Assistant Postmaster General Jones at
the beginning of the administration.
At that time claims for extra compen-
sation for overtime in work were ac-
cumulating at the rate of 10000 hours a
month This source Of great expense to
the service has been steadily diminished.
and the reports for October show that
the amount for that month was only 1856
hours for regular letter carriers and 1877
hours for substitutes

MINISTER MURDERED.
Prominent Bloomington Clergyman
Found Dead in an Alley at
Decatur.

Bloomington, ILL.,, Nov. 24.-Rev. James
Miller, pastor of Grace M. e. church Of
Bloomington. was found murdered and
robbed in an alley at Decatur, ILL.,, this
morning. The revolver with which the
crime had been committed was lying by
the dead mans side.
The murder was evidently committed
by footpads. Rev. Miller had written a
note to his son, DR.. John Miller, in De-
catur, stating that he would visit him
today and he had evidently just arrived
on the Diamond special from Blooming
ton. Being thoroughly acquainted with
the city, he had doubtless started to
walk to the residence of DR.. Cato. He
was found few feet from the street
in the alley in the rear of Dr. Cattos
residence.
Mr.. Miller was one of the ablest and
best known ministers in Illinois. His
four years work in Decatur made him
a host of friends there.

BONES and Belts.

1t is asserted that repeated experiments
have proved, in the transmission of power,
that ropes and belts, when well arranged,
absorb almost the same amount of power.
Some French trials in that line, as re-
ported in Engineering Mechanics, were
made, it appears, with 2O0-horse power
engine, fitted with rope and belt fly
wheels 14A feet in diameter. The steam
engine had a fly wheel for the belt and
one for the ropes; the dynamo was driy-
en- direct off the fly wheel, without a
counter shaft, and was provided with
two pulleys, one for the belt and one for
the ropes. The dynamo was driven di-
rect off the fywheel, being mounted on
adjusting screws, so that the tension of
the belt or ropes could be regulated at
will A cotton belt, leather belt, and a
homogeneous leather belt and ropes were
of standard quality. Experiments of a
comparative nature were made alternate
ly, with the ropes and belts, several tests
each day, the results being as above indi-
Gated.

New York, Nov. 24-The World pub
fishes from Lewiston. Me-, a signed dis
patch from Nelson Dingley, Jr., chair
man of the ways and means committee,
in which he says:
ST see no reasonable ground for hoping

up by the Senate this winter. | should,
nevertheless, be gratifed to see it passed

a few months. The idea that has been
entertained by some persons that the
House bill would make unnecessary any
further tariff legislation for long time
is certainly a mistaken one, for neces-
sarily horizontal increase Of duties does
not correct the inequalities and discrim-
nations of the present tariff"

"Lord Salisbury acted cleverly IN SC
