ME~ VENEZUELAN TRIBUNAL.
b.. Little Prospect Of King Oscar Having
Much to Do.

Washington. Nov. 12.-The admission
was made at the state department today
that King Oscar of Sweden may be
called into the Venezuelan arbitration
cnly in case of disagreement by the four
arbtrators appointed in the first instance.
as to the selection of the fifth member.
when the King will be asked to designate
some person as president of the tribunal.
This is considered an exceedingly dis
tant contingency. as no doubt is felt that
the four original appointees will have no
difficulty in reaching common ground in
the matter with the same facility that
they. are expected to reach a conclusion
on the evidence in the boundary dispute.
1t is further said that it has never been
contemplated that the King himself
should be the final arbitrator. or that the
tribunal should hold its sessions in Nor
way or Sweden, although the locality is
left to their discretion.
AS all the evidence in the controversy
has now been collected in Washington
there is suggested the bare possibility
that they might deem it advantageous :.
meet here. but the documents and otner
data are rapidly being arranged in such
way by the commission that they could
be taken to any desirable place without
difficulty.

Il suppose that politics is barred. as
this is an agricultural meeting. I'm not
an agriculturist, though born and reared
on farm. My education was paid for
by the proceeds of corn and hogs. 1t Is
the custom of the time for men of public
occupation TO associate themselves to-
gether to develop and cultivate mutual
interests. Such organizations are to be
encouraged. but We must not forget that
lawyers. farmers and laborers all have
interests and no one class should try to
get the better of the other classes. We
are all rejoicing that you are getting Il
little more for your wheat and corn.

that the general was referring to a situ-

that public sentiment be focused on what

brought before the people and that men

Then he told of how a brakeman came
and sat down beside him in train. one
day recently and told him that he did not
like the idea of this trying to array class

man pleased Gen; Harrison. The general
further said Whatever they say about

american people will work for truth and

Bismarck Continues Attacks
on Caprivi's Administration.
Asks Why, in 1890, He "Cut Wires"
Uniting Germany and Russia.
Thinks Germany Ought 70 Know where Rus.
sia's Real Friendship Is.

Berlin, Nov 12-Prince Bismarck is
continuing his attacks upon the ad-
ministration of his successor. Count
Caprivi, through the columns of his
organ, the Hamburger Nachrichten,
which publishes. today, another arti-
Gle on the Russo-German treaty OF
neutrality.
The ex-chancellor is not in favor of
the proposed debate on the treaty in
the Reichstag. but thinks it would be
matter of special interest to know
why Caprivi, in $780, felt compelled to
cut the wires which still united Ger
many to Russia.
The ex-chancellor is of the opinion
that the question of paramount i'm
portance to all Germany now is
whether a powerful neighbor like
Russia is in closer touch with
Germany or with her opponents in
Europe.
