NEARING A CONCLUSION.

a few more days and the Venezuelan
somewhat excited in our way, will be
closed. The arrangements have been
made and will soon be announced for a
joint commission of Americans and
Englishmen to settle the whole matter,
it being understood that England will
purchase that portion of Venezuela
which she claimed as a right q few
months ago. This will be satisfactory
wholly so TO the citizens Of the United
States.
The Brewer commission will dissolve,
and we will hear no more of the Ven
ezuelan trouble. The Blue book on the
subject issued by the English has been
discovered to be full of contradictions
which have injured the English case.
1t may have been the English intention
to have them there for the purpose of
more gracefully covering their back
| down.
The first steps In the affair were
menacing. A repition of the Corinto
landing Immediately after President
| ClevelandS message in December
would have brought war. But the
English were wary. This country was
| firm and determined and the predic-
ton that it was ''back-down or war;
has been fulfilled by England backing
| down.
Following quickly upon the Venez-
uelan difficulty came the rash raid OF
Jameson, the cOngratulatory telegram
of Emperor William to Kruger, and
the secret treaty between Russia and
! Turkey, all of which emphasized 10
English eyes the actual fact OF Eng
/ llSh isolation. Ii was impossible for
England with enemies on every hand
10 quarrel TO the point of war over a
small bit of territory in South America
The only thing possible under the cir
cumStanceS was b3ck-down.
IL is matter of regret with many
Americans that England will be given
the privilege OF purchasing what she
claimed as her own. An advaced
view of the Monroe doctrine would not
permit her that.

WEYLER NOT so Willy.

Spain'S captain general for his own
reputation might better have remained
away from Cuba From humanitar-
ian point of view his proclamatiOns do
not compare favorably with those Of
the insurgent leader Maceo. Indeed
from the dispatches it seems that the
butcher will be compelled to resign. In
the meantime he issues another double
faced manifesto. He will magnani-
mouSly release all Cuban prisoners
taken in Pinar del Rio and Matanzas
provinces. This sounds generous and
humane; but the conditions are that
they shall deny having voluntarily
joined the insurgents, shall swear al
legiance TO Spain and shall not be
guilty of any common crime.
The subtle beauty of Weyler's pre-
tense of fairness and pardon lies in the
individual investigation which will &C
company the consideration Of each
case. and the very probable chance Of
fastening upon any arrested Cuban
who may seem specially obnoxious 10
Weyler or his minionS some such &C
cuSation, If only one of erroneous state
ment. so as 70 enable the csptain-gen-
eral or any corrupt judge TO resort 10
the severeSt measures.
Unfortunately. the true record OF
Weyler's proceedings thus far compels
the conclusion that this new declara-
ton Of amnesty is hypOcritical in ian
guage and murderous in purpose. Ii
again shows the Spaniard in Cuba as a
sheep in VOLTS clothing. lion, or less
noble beast, playing the fox.

that in state Of freedom the negro

Perhaps in olden times, the master held

His Body Found in an Alley with
Pockets Riiicd.

Decatur, ILL.,, Nov. 25-Rev James
Miller. pastor of the Grace Methodist
Episcopal church, at Bloomington, was
robbed and murdered in this city some
time last night. His body was found
at an early hour this morning i'm an
dence. in the fashionable residence
section of the city. There was a bull
let hole in the center of the victims $
forehead and it is evident that death
was instantaneous.
Rev. Mr.. Miller had been I'm SPRING
field yesterday, and arrived here about
1905 o'clock last night. The supposi-
tiOn is that he walked up Edwards
street to go to the residence of DR.. Cat
to. with whom he had been in the habit
of stopping while in the city. a man
employed at one of the nearby resi-
dences states that he heard n shot at
IL o'clock or before.
His pockets had been rited and a re-
volver was found lying by his side. No
powder burns Were found ON his face.
Two ladies coming home from a party
noticed two men standing in the alley
and crossed the street to avoid them.
As they did SO negro who was on the
opposite side of the street Joined the
two in the alley. The police have a de-
Scrption of the men.
Mr.. Miller was formerly pastor of a
church in Decatur. He was 60 years
old, and leaves Il widow and three chill

PENNSYLVANIA-CORNELL GAME.
Preparations for an Exciting Contest
mt phil0dclDhia.

Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-The last foot
ball game of the season of 1896 between
the big eastern colleges will be played
tomorrow by Cornell and Pennsylva-
MIA on Franklin field. The Cornell sub
stitutes, coaches and rubbers, in all
about twenty-nine men, arrived here
this evening from Ithaca, and are
quartered at the Hotel Stenton. That
Pennsylvania will win tomorrow is al
most fOregune conclusion, but Cor
nell always plays a hard and plucky
game: and, as the Ithacans are in much
better condition than when they met
Harvard and Princeton, and will also
have the full strength of their team
out for nearly the first time this sea-
son, q good game is looked for While
the Comedians do not expect to win.
they do expect to score. They are
counting on Pennsylvania two fatal
faults of this seasonal tumble or
blocked kick--to aid them across the
goal line of the red and blue. Aside
from either one of these two causes it
is improbable that Cornell will score,
as Pennsylvania $ defense this year has
been absolutely impregnable to every
team they have played, and the only
times they have been scored upon was
on q blocked kick near their goal line.
With the Cornell Foot Ball team to-
day came the lthacans Cross Country
team. Pennsylvania and Cornell to-
morrow will have their annual five
mile cross country run and the finish
will be before the grand stand on
game begins. Cornell won the race last
year and is confident of winning again
this year. The two foot ball teams will
line IN as follows.
