VENEZUELAN BOUNDARY
Administration Expects to Report Sensible
Advance in Negotiations.
Believed That Sir Julian PauncefOte
Will Have Authority to Offer Com
promise Proposals.

There is every indication that the ad-
mfnistration hopes to be able by the time
congress meets to report a sensible advance
IN the negotiations concerning the Vene-
zuelan boundary question, though it can
scarcely be said that there is an expecta-
tion of being able to compass a final settle
ment of the dispute by that date. The cor
respondence has not progressed very much
during the past summer, but that was
principally because Lord Salisbury was so
busily engaged with pressing eastern ques-
tions that he was unable to give the sub-
ject his personal attention, and the negotia-
tions had assumed a phase where no less
than that was necessary. However, 1t was
understood when the British ambassador
went home on leave of absence that 1t was
the purpose of the British premier to make
use of the opportunity to confer with Sir
Julian, and 1t was, presumed that when he
became in this manner acquainted with the
real sentiment of the people of the United
States and the fact that in this matter the
administration can count on unanimous
support, and that there was little hope of
change in the attitude of the government,
whatever the outcome of the pending cleo
uons, he might be disposed TO go further
toward meeting Secretary Olney than he
seemed at first likely to go. Since Sir
Julian has been in London word has come
of several conferences between himself and
Lord Salisbury, and it is fully expected
that when he returns to Washington he will
be charged with authority to offer compro-
mise proposals which may in the end prove
to be the basis for final settlement of the
troublesome boundary dispute. 1t is eX-
pected, too, that the Venezuelan boundary
commission will have agreed upon its re-
port before Congress meets, and the con-
clusonS reached may very properly be used
with great weight by Secretary Olney TO
sustain his position. AS to the other ques-
ton, relating to the negotiation of a gem
eral arbitration treaty, it is not believed
that as much progress will be made as in
the settlement of the boundary question,
for the differences disclosed to exist be-
tween the.two governments appear to be OF
larger magnitude than the issues involved
in the boundary question. which, after all,
are largely matters of fact.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND,s ADDRESS.
1t May Check the Indirect Onslaught
the A. r. A. is Making ON bryan.

Il Shcck the Indirect On8lAuKht
the A. r. A. Is Making ON bryan.
Archbishop Ireland's address on the polit-
ical situation was read with interest today
by the officials Of the supreme headquar-
ters of the American Protective Associa-
tion; that is to say, the officials who are in
the city found much in it to talk about.
Supreme President Echols is out of the CITY,
Supreme Secretary Palmer is here, but de-
clined to Hscuss the effect the address
might have. He says that he prefers to
leave opinions for the press on subjects of
that kind to Mr.. Echols. The latter is in
Kentucky making speeches to A. p A.
lodges in that state.
1t is not probable that the supreme officers
will criticise the address in any way for the
newspapers, although they consider Arch
bishop Ireland one of the deadiiest foes OF
their principles. supreme official says
that in the northwest the effect of the ad-
dress In Individual instances may be to
give Bryan few A. P. A. votes which he
would not have gotten. 1t may, it is
thought, somewhat check the indirect on
slaugat which the A. P. A. itself is making
on Bryan. 1t is said that some of the ex-
treme members of the order will vote
against anything anybody which finds
favor in the eyes of the celebrated arch
bishop.
The A. P A. is stronger in Michigan than
In any of the other northwestern or middle
western states. This is accounted for by
the fight which Representative Linton has
kept up in tha, state for several years. On
the subject of Bryan. however, the order
has already divided. Ex-Supreme President
Traynor, who lives at Detroit, and who Is
one of the strongest men in the order, has
come out in statement disapproving the
fight on Bryan, and intimating that he will
support the democratic nominee.
The order is strong in Minnesota, Iowa
and Illinois, with Iowa next to Michigan
point Of membership. 1t is thought pos
s.ble that faction, at least, of the order
will now make a fight on Mckinley, because
of Archbishop Ireland's address. The fac
ton may not be large, the order is said
to pay no attention to anything but the
personality of the two candidates in the
field. The address will not embitter those
who have made up their minds that they
would prefer Mckinley. as they will take
the position that Mckinley has nothing to
do with the views of the archbishop.

NOT PROPHESYING MUCH
Politicians Reluctant About Expressing
Opinions.
Information That Came Today to
ters - The Middle West.

1t Is a conspicuous feature of political
talk during the past few days that men on
both sides are wonderfully conservative
when talking privately about the sit
uation. Men who have some pride
In being regarded as wise political
observers are reluctant to express a posi-
tive opinion. but will express grave doubts
about points that are vital to the campaign.
Nearly every one processes to be perplexed
by the situation in Illinois, Indiana, Mich
igan and Minnesota.
The address by. Archbishop Ireland has
caused much satisfaction among republi-
cans, and many democrats, especially those
who are Catholics. are greatly depressed by
it, The republicans express the belief that
the address will do a tremendous amount Of
good for Mckinley.
AT democratic headquarters the matter is
dismissed with the statement that Arch
bishop Ireland is always against them. and
that they have not observed that his ut
terances have done them harm. They say
there was no element Of surprise in his ad-
dress.
The confidential communications received
al the political headquarters state the situ-
alton in Illinois to be one most difficult to
base an estimate on. Both democrats and
republicans claim the state. but both pri-
vatey confess that there are elements h.
the situation which defy all efforts to COM
prehend.
Reports at the populist headquarters
state that the fight there is the hottest in
the history of the state. The statement is
made that the state outside CT Cook county
Is for Bryan. and the prediction is made
with some reserve that Bryan will get the
electoral vote by a good majority. Gov.
Altgeld, who processes to understand the
situation in Chicago, simply expresses his
perfect confidence that Bryan will carry the
state. At democratic headquarters the stu
alton in Chicago is spoken of entirely
satisfactory.
A report received from the populist state
committee in Minnesota states that three
weeks ago it looked as If there were a
slight falling in the silver tide, and the
silver people were little less hopeful, but
that since then there has been a great
swell IN favor of silver, and the strength
of the silver cause has been steadily and
rapidly increasing. 1t is stated that Bry-
ans visit occurs Just in time to meet with
the rising tide and to help swell it's force.
There appears to be little change in the
situation to the fusion in Indiana be-
tween the democrats and populists. 1t is
said at democratic headquarters that Cb-
stacles in both parties to the fusion are
gradually being got out of the way. 1t
is estimated that the great bulk Of the
populists will vote for Bryan, no matter
how the negotiations result.

POLITICAL LITER
The Wind-Up of Dfstribution to Take

This week will see a wind-up of the dis
tribut:on of literature by the political
headquarters here. Scattering punches of
it may be sent out after this week, but
the amount from then to the end of the
campaign will not be as great as the
amount heretofore sent out in one day
Orders to printers have about ceasei, and
the amount of literature at each of the
headquarters has been allowed TO dwindle
for the last two weeks. The republicans
have larger quantity on hand than any
of the other parties. The populists have
something like 2Gu,oN pieces, which will
go out this week, Secretary Edgerton says.
The silver party has about the same guam
tity, while the democrats have few
thousand pieces more.
1t is estimated in some quarters that
T,EG,1o9,HO pieces of literature have been
distributed by all the parties from ali head
quarters since the 1st of last January This
is simply guess. but the amount is greater
than in all previous campaigns for thirty
years put together. The silver people are
believed to have gotten out most of this.

protest against the m:ddle-of- -the-road poo-

the exception OF fewer than 2UO of the

not more than seventy persons, while on

written by one person.
