THE vENEzVELsN MATTER.
Salisbury Said 10 Have Made Mis-
take In ISSj.

LONDON January 1.-The Chronicle to-
morrow will print an article saying that
IL has learned on the highest authority
that Earl Granville. In 1885. virtually con-
cluded with President Blapco treaty
containing an arbitration Clause covering
the Venezuelan international boundary
dispute.
The Marquis Of Salisbury. ON coming
into power i'm the same year. virtually
cancelled this clause by limiting the pro-
visions of the treaty TO commercial ques-
tions. Nothing could have been more
unfortunate, says the Chronicle. mas
much as the boundary dispute was on the
eve Of a permanent settlement.
The Chronicle adds that 1t is convinced
by careful researches that there rs de-
batable land both north and south OF
the Schomburgk line. and that IL would
be grave error TO imagine that rigid
instance on the Schomburgk line and a
declaration that there IS no ground for
arbitration constitute the essence Of
the English case.

nected IN Paris. handed his card in at
the Capital City Club reception last night

mated a desire to meet Rountree out

German, and under the impression that
he was an important member OF Partisan
society. gave him a card to the club.
German and his brother appeared at
the reception with a person whom they
introduced as Mrs. Jeane German. Du-
ring the reception the Germans were re-
duested TO withdraw from the club. They
asked Rountree for an explanation, which
he declined To give. Thereupon. Albert
handed Rountrea his card.
Albert claims that he has fought four
Partisan duels, and wants to try another.
Rountree will not make any statement
about the matter. 1t Is said. though.
that he concluded he had made mis-
take in giving German a card TO the
club
Rountree was mixed up I'm an cffalr
with DR.. Willis Westmoreland in the
Casino, New York. about year ago. and
a duel was looked for then. but did not oc-
cur. German claims to be an intimate

/ should not be ungenerous enough to
say that he is a gold bug, and wanted
to bold up his government for an issue
of bonds, but he views any advance in
the price of products as an unmitigated
evil, and in that he is not unlike the
average gold bug everywhere.
If John Sherman should abandon the
gold standard theory and embrace the
free coinage of silver. wonder how
many of his republican admirers in
Barton county would still cling to the
gold standard? It is safe to say that
every one of them would change with
him, and should then be at a loss to
know why they did it except for the rea-
fon that the ssboss'' said SO.
Gentlemen, your adherence to the
gold standard theory is indefensible, is
not advocated or endorsed by any po-

this policy will work even greater hard

alton, and no one who reads 1t carefully
will attribute its position to ignorance.
This whole discussion of the money
question on the part of those In oppo-
sition to the rehabilitation of silver is In
tended to convey the idea that the sub
ject of finance is one not to be under
stood or discussed by the public gen.
orally, but must be left to those who we
may have selected for that purpose.
Ernest Seyd, the English fnancier, in
his letter to Mr.. Hooper, of Mass
achusetts, member of congress during
the time when silver was displaced and
the gold dollar made the unite of value,
said:
sis it to be expected that Tom, Dick
and Harry, the workmen, should study
political economy, SO as to be able to
PROFOUND the doctrines of truth and
the practical value of their applications
to subject so obscure as that of money
is to most met? Enough that in vague
terms they complain of a scarcity of
money, of idleness, and want of work,
and that this idleness and want of work
are in direct relationship with the avail.
able means of exchange for intercourse
you may admit if you lend an ear to the
argument in the following passage:
Money is the absolutely necessary ele
ment in affecting exchanges in commod-
tiles, i. e. for carrying on intercourse,
i. e. the consumption as well as the
production of commodities; hence the
numerical presence of money to a great
extent guides the number of transac
tons in either direction. In this sense
| a supply Of money encourages. dimi
mutton of money lessons, the number
of transactions"
No sane man will deny the truth of
the above. for the quantitative theory
of money is too well established the
world over to deny it in the least. Why,
it is known and admitted in the Shah
of Persia's little domain, for if you will
take the trouble to look over the Kan
sas City "Star'' of last Saturday you
will see this fully exemplihed. 1t is
said that the death of the late Shah is
due to this cumulative theory of finance
for dispatch to the London Times
from Teheran, the capital of Persia,
says: "Much discomfort has existed
for some time through the dearness of
provisions, partly caused by the ex-
cessive issue of copper COINS
Here is a late date illustration of the
quantitative theory of money, that is,
as the circulating medium is increased
prices of all products advance. Gold
men will deny this, but it cannot be
successfully contradicted. There has
never been a time when the currency
has been expanded, it makes no differ
ence in what country. but prices have
increased in ratio. I do not know
what system of finance Persia has;
whether it is metallic or paper, but
from the dispatch it would seem that 1t
| is metallic, and also that the coins are
made from cheap copper. This how
ever makes no difference, for as long
as any money is a legal tender, be it
made of metal or paper, any increase
in the circulation advances the prices
of commodities. The Persian has evil

SANDow'S TRUNK THIEVES.
Detectives Think They Have the Men

John W. Campbell, alias shot" Camp
bell, and Frank Allen. both colored, were
arrested yesterday by Detective Hartigan
and locked up at the Sixth precinct,

Sandow, the strong man.
Sandow's trunk was stolen at the Bal

who were engaged to carry it from the
cab to the baggage room. The men started
around the corner with The trunk and
disappeared down the inclined walk on
the c street side of the station. Since that
time both trunk and men have not been
seen.
Detective Hartigan was assigned 20 work
up the case at this end Of TIE line, and al
though the trail was five days old started

have ever seen the trunk, but wo wit
nesses have identified them equally as
positively.
Yesterday afternoon Detective Hartigan
secured black cape from a pawn shop,
which had been sold there by a culoreti
woman the day after the trunk disappeared
1t was identified as belonging to Mfr.
Sandow, but to bc perfectly sure the cape
has been sent on to New York fer further
Identification. The detective has learned
that the SAME colored woman has pawDed
q large number of costly dresses within
