Later intelligence has modified some
what, though not essentially, the terms of
the agreement between the United States
and Great Britain for the settlement of
the Venezuelan controversy. The tribu-
nal is to consist OF five members, two to
be nominated by the Supreme court of the
United States and two by the supreme
court of Great Britain, while the fifth
member is to be a jurist selected by the
other members. King Oscar of Sweden
and Norway is not to be the fifth member,
as was originally stated, but is to name him
in case the other four members fail to agree
upon the selection. While the agreement
is made between Great Britain and the
United States it cannot become operative
until the government of Venezuela has
formally ratified it, but no doubt exists
that this action will be promptly taken.

A good deal of interest in supreme
court matters has been aroused by senate
bill 118, which does away with all general
terms of the supreme court at Montpelier
and restores the old system of stated terms
in each county. The bill provides that all
members of the court not disqualified or
disabled shall attend each session, although
four members shall constitute a quorum,
and no cause shall be disposed of except
by concurrent direction of that number of
judges. The court in each county may be
held elsewhere than at the county seat,
when judges for good reasons so direct.
One term in each county is to be held each
year, but special terms may be called II oc-

IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS.
The General Tone in Trade Circles has
Grown More Hopeful.

New York. June 19.-R- G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, which
issues tomorrow, will say:
There are continued signs that gain
in business has begun. Stocks lfave
gone higher than they were before the
artificial break ten days ago; wheat
and cotton are in better demand; there
is more confidence in monetary cir
cles and the tendency towards shrink
age in great industries seems in some
measure, at least, to be checked
While the outcome of the Democratic
convention is uncertain and the great
crops are not yet wholly beyond dan
ger, sure and strong improvement
could hardly be expected, but the
tone in business circles has grown dis
tinctIy more hopeful.
Beyond the influence of this general
hopefulness, nothing appeared to
justify the advance Of half a cent i'm
wheat, a4c. in corn and 5-16c. in cot
ton, and the reaction in all these with
taking of profits on Thursday.
The advance in cotton had no visible
cause in crop prospects or movement
though receipts at ports have been
light. Accounts still indicate large
yield and the most substantial news
of helpful nature is that the tone in
manufacturing circles is more cheer
ing.
Textile manufacturers do not gain
and the assignment of large worsted
mill is thought due to special causes
rather than to the general influences
which curtail or temporarily stop pro
duction of many others.
The waiting in iron and steel brings
a slightly lower average of prices, the
lowest since April 1st, and only rs
per cent above the lowest of the year,
though the combination makes no
change in quotations.
Failures for the week have been 276
in the United States, against 2SS last
year, and % in Canada, against 81
last year.

Is SENATOR RANSOM IN IT?

Yesterdays New York papers gave
the particulars of a conference of big
Democratic leaders with ex-Secretary
Whitney in that city. The dispatches
stated that he had about decided to
reconsider his determination to go
abroad. to go as delegate 10 the Chi
cago convention to fight for sound
money"
The journal says:
s'Ex-Secretary Whitney was also
engaged during the day consult
ing with Democratic leaders from
different parts of the country as to
the best course to be pursued by
the sound money men in Chicago.
Among those who visited Mr.. Whit
news residence were Senator Cor
man, OF Maryland, the Democratic
leader of the United States Senate;
ex-senator M. G. Ransom, of North
Carolina, and Colonel James Muir
dock, who for many years was at
the head of the party organization
in Indiana"
Referring to this conference the New
York Journal says:
1T was decided that the New
York Democracy should make a
hard fight for sound money at Chi
cago. While all present probably
believe that the convention will
declare for silver, still it was de-
cided that New York Democrats
should not for a moment admit
the possibility of such an event.
Then should they fail, the New
York delegation voting as a unit,
and probably backed by other
sound money States, will try to
force the nomination of Vice
President Stevenson, whose stand
ing on the currency question is
as uncertain as McKinley's. He
has never put himself on record,
so that both sides could claim
him."

a NEGRO RAP,ST HANGED.
Frank McRae Pays the Penalty for His
Heinous Crime.

Lumberton, n. c., June 19.-(Spe-
cial)-Franl McRae, colored, was
hanged here to-day for rape, by Sher-
if G. b. McLaod.
He seemed indifferent to his fate.
He was pronounced dead in nine
minutes after the drop fell.
In April he committed rape on Susan
j. McNair, treating her brutally. He
choked and bit her, producing such
injuries that she has not yet recovered.
An appeal was made to Governor
Carr to respite him on account of
idiocy. The Governors refusal meets
the approval of the public. A commit
tee of doctors had previously examined
him and pronounced him sane.
His speech and demeanor on the gal
lows did not show any evidences of
weak mindedness. He confessed bis
guilt and said bad company had lead
him to his awful fate.
His body was turned over to DR.. I.
4. Norment for dissection. He had
previously sold his body to DR.. Nor
ment for SIS, and spent the money for
delicacies to eat.

HENRY NJ. TELLER THE HERO OF
THE HOUR.

3Ai1 jIOCAs
The hero of the National Republican
convention is not Mr.. Mckinley. Eight
months ago, before the Republicans
had seen that the people were deter
minded to make money the issue, Mark
Hanna had seclred enough pledges to
nominate Mr.. Mckinney. The bargains
then made were copsummated at ST.
Louis, with perfunctory and worked
TIP enthusiasm. Mr.. Mckinley is the
nominee, but he Las not the admira-
ton or confidence Of the gold men
and the true silver men have repu-
dated lis nomination.
The central figure of the conven-
ton, the man who energies from it
with the greatest giory and renown
is Henry NJ. Teller, of Colorado.
Months ago he announced from his
seat in the Senate, that he would not
support a gold standard man for Pres
ident. He went to the convention
as delegate in response to the man
date of his people who endorsed his
utterances. He went into the con-
vention and made fight against the
gold standard that is destined to be-
come historic. When the delegates
voted down his resolutions, Mr.. Teller
made speech giving his reasons why
he could no longer remain in the Re
publican party, and followed by twenty
five brave and honest men, withdrew
from the convention of the party he
had helped to make powerful, and
of which he has been a chief corner
stone for more than a quarter of a
century. In its thirty years history,
the Republican party has known no
bolts or no such disintegration. There
have been protests to nominations and
dissatisfaction here and there, but
never before have the leaders of an
area representing one fourth of the Re-
public repudiated the party policy,
and walked out upon a principle that
is the political guiding star of the peo
pie of more than half of the Republic.
The shouts of derision that followed
Mr.. Teller and his associates as they
filed out, and the cry go and be
damned is the best indication of the
spirit that actuates the Republican
party of to-day. 1t is not the party
of Lincoln or of Teller. 1t is the party
of Mark Hanna and Thomas Platt,
committed to more protection to Mark
Hanna's steel trust and contraction to
Tom Platt's financial enterprises. 1t
is the party of trusts, of monopolies, of
tariff barons, of gold spectators, of
bond grabbers and those who are
grasping for special privilege.
Henry M. Teller is the only figure
that has come out of the convention
as the man of convictions whose cour-
age was equal to the occasion. He will
be regarded as civic Luther, crying
out against the sale of indulgences to
tax the people for private gain, and
the sin of making laws to increase the
burdens of the poor. As he stood IN
that body of old political associates
crying out against the decadence OF
his party and its betrayal of the people,
there was in his manner something
that suggested Martin Luther at the
Diet of Worms when he said: ''Con-
flute me by proofs of Scripture or else
by plain just arguments: l cannot re-
cant otherwise. For it is neither safe
nor prudent to do aught against con-
science. Here stand /; can do no
other; God assist me-"
