WAsu1NGToN, March 16.-An intel
esting report has been made by Charles
w. Stone, of Pennsylvania, in favor Oh
q bill in favor OF the metric system Oh
WEIGHTS AMI measures, which has been
for some weeks before the house COM
mittee on coinage, weights and meas
ures. Referring to the objection that
the words and terms of the metric sys-
tenn are foreign and too long Tor con
venient use, the reply is made that the
terms are not simply for American nse'
they are for use by all nations, The
ease with which other nations except
France, where Vacillating legislation
and revolutionary disorder impeded
the work, have made the change OF
systems has been surprising.
Germany changed to the compulsory
system in two years; Austria in three
and without friction or trouble. Th'
conclusion reached by the COMMITTEES
is that the metric system OF weight
and measures should be adopted by tn
various departments of the govern
ment, although not deeming it wise 7
change the methods OF surveying put
lie lands. They recommend that IL
adoption by the departments be hxe
for July /, 1899, and by the nation

An Onlcial Announcement that Nego''a'
lions Looking to Settlement cf Fene-
zuelan Dispute Have begun
LONDON, March 17,-ln the house OF
commons yesterday Sir Albert Rollit,
independent conservative, asked what
truth there was in reports that the
United States government mad eX-
pressed a willingness that the Vene'
izuelan dispute be referred to joint
commission for consideration and set
tlement.
Hon. George n. Curzon, parliament'
ary secretary to the foreign Office, re-
plied that the government had received
official proposals from the United
States government upon the subject OF
the Venezuelan difficulty and that
these proposals were now in course OF
negotiation, and, therefore, he could
not communicate them to the house.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-While state
department officials decline to divulgt
the nature Of Secretary Olney's lates
suggestion to Lord Salisbury in regarC
to method Of settling the Venezuelan
dispute, it is understood that the wa,
has been opened for negotiations whicl
are expected to result in some plan o
adjusting the boundary claims salts
factory to all concerned. The reply Q
Great Britain to Mr.. olney's propose
has not yet actually reached the stat
department, but it is on the way an
there are good reasons for believin
that Sir Julian Pauncefote, the Britis
ambassador, has within the past
hours received full instructions to ent'
into negotiations here on the subject.

THO Venezuelan Commission VIII Send It's
Agents to Madrid and ThS hasuo ~
Gather Evidence
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The Venf'
zuelan commission at its regular meet
ing Friday, with all the members pres
ent. virtually reached the conclusion
that the main points at issue IN the
dispute hinged on documents lying IN
the royal archives Of Spain and Aol'
land and perhaps some other countries
that while such documents would prob
ably be quoted by each of the disput-
ants in support Of the contradictory
claims presented, the duty would de-
yolve on the commission not only tc
verify by actual examination all such
citations but, if practicable, to develop
contemporary documents which migh'
throw strong sidelights upon the evi
dence submitted.
While definite action was postponed
until the full British and Venezuelan
case shall have been formally brough
under consideration, there remains M
Doubt that some of the commissioners
or at all events the secretary OF Tn
commission, Mr. Mnlet-Prevost, an
agents under his direction. will 500
