about 1880 Sunday morning when the
beach patrolman on tho south shore of
the harbor reported wreckagc coming

Capt. Wood, brought up the question of
the safety of the big three-masted
schooner which arrived Oft the point
about four o'clock Saturday afternoon.
She signaled for n tug as she came In

a BOLD ROBBERY.
Five Thieves Loot "A Cleveland brewery of
Big sum.

Cleveland, o., Nov. l2.--The most SEN
sationa and successful robbery that
has occurred in this city for years was
rerpetrated at the works OF the Star
Brewing company, early Wednesday
morning. Night Waterman Louis
Christensen, was making his routine in
specton OF the building, when five
masked men sprang out OF the dark
ness. A fierce struggle ensued and
weapons of all kinds were brought into
use. The robbers were heavily armed,
but refrained from using their guns, in
order 20 avoid noise. The Waterman
was finally overcome, bound and gagged
and tied TO steam pipe. The robbers
then broke open the Office door and
wrapped the safe with wet blankets.
The combination handle was broken of
and the safe blown TO pieces with
dynamite. After footing the safe OF
It's contents and taking everything OF
value i'm the Office the robbers departed.
The helpless Waterman managed TO
free himself after repeated struggles,
and gave the alarm. Officers quickly
arrived and made thorough inyestiga-
ton. The robbers left no clew behind
them. but IL is the opinion OF the police
that the crime was the work of profess
sional safe blowers. The robbers Sc
cured $1,000 In money and Carried away
a collection of rare coins belonging TO
c. A. Strangman valued at $1,000. The
robbery occurred in n denscly popu-
lated. wealthy residence part of the
city. Waterman Christensen sus.
timed three severe wounds ms the re-
suit OF his struggle with the men.

The gold standard cannot be main
tained by increasing revenues. because rev.
cnues are not paid In gold The attempt
10 maintain the gold standard by perpetual
loans must also sooner or later fail The
only other way Is by contracting the cur
rency and forcing down prices so low that
gold will come here OF Itself In such GUAM
titles as TO constitute, In part. at least
the currency with which revenues are paid

such a policy. Either course. therefore

subject the United States absolutely 10

KING OSCAR CHOSEN.
An Agreement for Arbitration Ia Reached
Between the United States and
Great Brltain--Iasis of
the Treaty.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The king Of
sweden and Norway. Oscar H., has been
chosen by treaty between the United
States and Great Britain as the fifth
Official arbitrator OF the Venezuelan
boundary question. The other arbi-
! traitors, four in number, are TO be desig-
mated. two by the lord chief justice of
England and two by the chief justice of
the United States.
This is the final and most important
feature of the treaty for the complete
adjustment Of the long-pending Nene-
zuelan controversy. The treaty was
concluded in Washington Monday night
at the British embassy. Sir Julian Paun-
cefote representing her britannia
ma iesty and Secretary Olney the United
Stntes. Since the return of Sir Julian
from London three weeks ago negotia-
tions toward final settlement have
been proceeding. Most of the meetings
were OF such an important character
that they were held either at Mr.. Olney's
residence or at the British embassy,
the two houses being but two blocks
separated.
Basis OF tho Treaty.
The proposed treaty will include with
In it's provisions method of arbitrating
the boundary line between Venezuela
and British Guiana. The exact terms
OF this important convention are not
yet definitely settled-far less signed.
On the contrary, verbal changes arc
continually being suggested and agreed
upon or modified by cable messages be-
tween the plenipotentiarles and the
British foreign office. But that the es-
scntinl basis OF the treaty has been
agreed upon is made clear in the cor
respondence which Secretary Olney
felt justified in making public after
Lord Salisbury's significant speech at
the London mansion house Monday
night. The basis agreed on is that in
the settled districts" term OF 80 years
OF undisputed residence shall be con-
sidered as giving the right TO posses
sion.
Distinct Concession.
The acceptance of this condition by
Great Britain is regarded as n distinc.
concession. inasmuch as il brings under
the award OF the arbitration tribunal
(which is to consist OF five distinguished
persons not citizens of any American
state) all the districts which have been
settled since the celebrated Schom-
burgk line was drawn in 1910.
Victory for Venezuela.
From the Venezuelan standpoint, the
final agreement for any kind of arbitra-
ton is in itself distinct victory. Vene-
zuela has asked arbitration for 40 years.
Great Britain's reply always has been
uniformly, viz: That while arbitra-
ton was desired, yet the settled dis
tricts. which were regarded as "soy-
ereign British soil" were not open TO
arbitration. by Lord Salisbury's state
mcnt Monday night the arbitration will
proceed on acceptance OF the old COM
mon law rule of prescription" The
understanding here Is that the entire
Venezuelan boundary will be thrown

KEENE AS "LOUIS'XI." "
A Great Historic Tragedy to Be En acted by a Great American
 Tragedian.

No play of stronger dramatic in- terest holds the stage of today than this historic tragedy of the great French author-Delavigne-drama- tized from Sir Walter Scott's novel, "Quentin Onward" and recon strueted with new scenes and situa- tions expressly for Mir. Keene
 History and romance have depicted Louis XI as superstitious, treaeher- ous, rapacious and merciless. All literatenrs have followed traditions exactly on these lines. They have taken for the action of the play, the last days of the old Kings life, when pursued by the haunting fear of the assassin's s knife at every hand, he sc cluded himself in the fortress of Plos- sis les Tours, and surrounded him. self with the mereenary instruments of his will
 The play is full of startling situa- tions, and as we remember, it is in- terpreted through admirably written dialogue.
 In the character of Louis XI, as in the kindred part of Richard III, it is well understood that MT. Keene has no living superior on any stage. He is among the greatest character actors of the world, and in this nIov ha auiovs the Iar0eSt OnDOrtun- ities for a display of his peculiar powers. "Louis XI" serves to illus trate the black days ofmedieval his tory, when the rulers wrote the chronicles of their times in blood and governed their people with fear.
 "Louis XI" will be presented at the Opera-house on Thursday, March l9.

 The platform after oongratulating the people of the country upon the growth of Republican sentiment denounoes the Democratic administration as most destructive and disastrous to the free dom of the country. It afirms the ad- herenee to the principles of the Repub- lioan party and declares for the prin- oiple of protection as the key to pros perity in business, safest prop to the treasury and bulwark to our financial
