VIII BE All Right.

WASHINGTON, March Pit can be
stated positively. notwithstanding the
publications TO the contrary, that no
settlement has yet been reached on
the Venezuelan question, but accord
ing to the best authority matters are
proceeding in such a fashion as to war
rant The belief that there Will be a
satisfactory outcome. At present it
cannot be told whether the ultimate
settlement of this question viii be eff
fected as a result of direct negotia-
lions between Great Britain and
Venezuela, initiated through the me
dunn of some mutually friendly power,
or as a conclusion of the work OF our
own Venezuelan boundary commission.
but in one way or another, a peaceful
and honorable settlement is believed to

the end still may be far removed
If negotiations directly between Ven
ezuela and Great Britain have been re-
newed at Caracas. the fact is not
known 10 officials here who should
surely be advised for their own guild

sion is proceeding diligently to the dis
charge OF its duty of weighing all of
the evidence obtainable respecting the
actual location of the boundary line
and in this has been assured of the CO.
operation informally it is true as to
Great britain but none the less eff
fectually) Of both parties in the dis
pute the public expectation appears
TO turn in that direction. Owing to the
limited number of advance COPIES of
the British blue book, containing the
British case, which have been received
so far, the commission has been oblig-
ed to struggle along with one single
copy, when is OF course inadequate for
the simultaneous study of all of the
members, but it is expected that with
in q day or Two the mails win bring
a sufficient supply of the documents
from London 10 facilitate the progress
of the work. Meanwhile. so far as the
document has been examined, it can be
stated that it is not regarded as bear
ing out the promise of invulnerability
claimed for it in London. In fact II
IS in many points regarded as open to
impeachment as to actual historical
events recited.

Special to Tia HERALD,

BOISE, Idaho. March Ed Ferris.
the Idaho cattle rustler, who was ar
rested in Colorado. was convicted today
on a second charge. He was acquitted on
the first trial. The regulators are now
going after the scalps of the other rus
tiers and threats are made by the Iattse
to make the situation grave.
A silent piece of evidence in the shape
Of a new pipe may lead to the apprehen-
sion and conviction of the person who
so foully murdered Jerome Cummings
and John Wilson. sheep men in Cassia,
county, in February. At the Icene of the
awful tragedy. a new pipe was found.
1t was identified as having been sold to
a certain cattle man a. few days before.
Following up this clew the officers found
the cattle man in question had remarked
to a party with whom he was riding tha
range that he had lost his new pipe.
Cattlemen still insist on the dead line
they have drawn, and sheepmen say they
will cross it at all hazards. 1t is feared
open warfare will result.
The murder of the two sheepmen has
resulted in the formation of a vigiIante
committee, and if the law miscarries.
Judge Lynch win take a hand.
Governor Mcconnell has notified Cap
tain James NJ. Wells, Idaho's Worlds
fair commissioner, to at once turn over
to the state treasury the money withheld
by him or suffer the consequences. When
Wells was in Chicago, he deposited the
money in the Columbian bank, which
failed with balance of s1.5OO due Idaho.
Wells commission expired January 1.
1894. but since that time the cashier OF
the bank has paid him per cent of the
amount due Idaho. but not a cent has
been turned in The governor says Wells
had no right to even receive the money.

Reed have wired Mr. Boyle that since
the death Of Weissinger, siXty-nine

soon taken into custody by Officer
Silvey, assisted soon after by Burton

Potter is known to the officers as a

Bigelow, is unknown to the officers,

against them to offer charges of any
other crimes.
To this end instructions are given to
judges that they shall record in the
files a personal description of those
against whom proceedings shall have
been taken and shall then ask for the
release of those coming within the
above mentioned provisions as being
discharged of the crime of rebellion.

vigilant surveillance of the authorities.
The same proceedings will be adopted
with regard to those who are arrested
and who are not accused of common
crimes.

that Blackburn would be elected. and
that So is quorum if Boyle can be
