VENEZUELAN CASE,
Thirteen Letters Made Public by the
State Dcrar ,ment...The First
Official Disclosures.

Washington. Jul 1.-THE efforts Of
the United States and Great Britain to
agree upon O. general arbitration for
the settlement of all the controversies
through the establishment of per-
manent tribunal, as well as the pro-
gress of diplomatic negotiations to-
wards solving the Venezuelan problem
a,e set forth in thirteen commune tions
made public by the state department
tonight. While they constitute the
first authoritative disclosures upon
these great questions since President
Clevclands famous Christmas tide
message to congress, II will be found
that the previous reports CT the United
Press of the negotiations between the
two governments Lave accurately out
lined the course of events.
Little substantial progress towards a
general arbitration treaty is disclosed
by the documents An outline in part
Of the proposed procedure is laid down
and the views of the two governments
are SO explciteiy STA ed that future dis
cusslon may be confined towards mar
rowing the few divergencics of method
The further fact IS made apparent
that the United States has not reaxed
its vigilance in demanding a just set
tlcment of the Venezuelan boundary
question and has rejected the British
proposals for arDitrating that dispute
under terms involving the surrender Of
any part of Venezuelas claims.

Philadelphia. July 17.-An important
conference of Sound money" Demo-
cras was held today in the Office. of John
c. Bullitt. a well known lawyer. for
the purpose Of protesting against the
action of the Chicago convention. The
meeting was held in private. and 1t was

ser Charles 7. Ingersoll, James F. Sulli-

George +. Baer, Of Reading. a director
of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
road company, and others. A number
of letters of regret were read from
Democrats who were unable to be pres
ent and who expressed sympathy with
the movement.
Mr.. Singerly stated that he had pro-
posed to Il prominent Republican that
deal be effected whereby in the Dem
ocratic districts of the state, the Demo-
Gratis should vote for Mvkinley and In
turn the Republicans support the DEM
ocratic nominees for congress, state
senate and general assembly. Mr. Sim
gerly was OF the opinion that such u
deal could be effected within from thir-
ty to forty days. He further expressed
his opposition to the placing of sound

There was general discussion on
matters appropriate to the conference.
and the following resolution. which was
prepared by Mr.. Bullitt, was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That the platform adopted by
the Chicago convention IL neither honest
nor patriotic and therefore not Demo-
cratic That ii differs so radically from
the past doctrines of the Democratic
party and particularly from the national
platform OF 1892 and the Pennsylvania
platform of the year 1896. that We cannot
as honest Democrats accept its wide de-
parture from the true Democratic doc
trne and we believe that the highest duty
of true Democrats is to make every effort
to defeat the ticket nominated at Chicago
That committee of seven be appointed
of whom the president of this meeting
shall be chairman with instructions to
confer with representative Democrats
throughout the state for the purpose Of
formulating some plan 10 preserve the in
tegrity Of the Democratic party in Penn
sylvania and secure the defeat OF Bryan
and Sewall.

sibility.

Cleveland, July 1.-THE fiercest fight
since the strike of the Brown Hoisting
workers began. occurred this evening
The militia kept the crowd back while
the non-union men were taken from the
shops, but the mob increased until it
numbered many thousands and extend
ed over territory of fifteen squares
Jeers, stones and clubs drew a charge
from the militia on the crowd. Many
on both sides were wounded. Just how
many strikers We're hurt is uncertain,
but two men were 80 severely stabbed
with bayCnets that they could not get
away, are lying at the st. Clair hospital
Thos. McGreavy and James Garety
All day there had been frequent clashes
between the mob at the Brown Hoisting
works, the police and militia. The
members Of the mob were IN u vicious
mood, and whenever lone soldier or
policeman could be reached, violence
was attempted. the troops from two
o'clock this afternoon We're constantly
under arms and had great difficulty in
clearing the streets, two charges being
necessary, in which bayOnsts were
freely used. But as soon as charge
was made. the mob, which early In
the afternoon numbered 5000, would
flow back against the line of steel like
a wave of the sea and again begin to
hoot and throw stones.
SECOND CHARGE MADE.
When the workmen had been taken
away and the troops We're returning to
hot t.fa orc OF hn ho,
vengeful rally was made upon Com
pany r. Again Il charge was made and
cold steel was driven home so that
many of the rioters had to be helped
away. At this time some one sent in
4 general alarm to the police station
and every patrol wagon was soon dash
ing through the streets causing the
widest rulnors among thousands on
their way home from work.
There was no need Of the police re-
infCrCements and the crowd, which had
been swelled to 1900 began to melt
away. u looked as if the trouble was
ended. but at seven O'Clock an assault
was made on a soldier who was passing
along Wilson avenue. He fought des-
perately as did also a policeman who
hurried to his aid. A squad Of troops
came to their rescue but not before the
two had been beaten iRto insenslbility.
Again the patrol wagons rushed to the
scene and had all they could do to force
Il passage through the angry mob.
Everything is now In readiness to re-
pei an outbreak which Is expected dur
ing the night.
There Were many women in the mob
and they We're apparently the most
bitter and as they refused to move
some of them are injured by bayonet
thrusts. The situation at midnight is
very ominOus and the streets about the
vicinity of the works are being
patroiled by soldiers and police.
