Washington, Dec. 29.--1t now appears

tain. When the settlement was made in
Washington rough draft of the general
features OF the settlement was made.
This contemplated the subsequent nego-
tiatlons Of an arbitration treaty between
Great Britain and Venezuela oa the gen.
eral lines prescribed by the settlement.
But the Venezuela authorities prefer to
see the treaty itself instead of an agree
ment for treaty. and the present lndlca-
tlons are that Venezuela will give no ac-
cepance until the entire phraseology Of
the treaty, with all Its terms and qualiii-
cations. is completed. This may take con-
siderable time.
The general expectation was that Ven.

method of settlement. Then diplomatic
relations between Great Britain and Ven
ezuela would follow as matter OF
course. When these relations were re-es

Shocking Depravity ON the Part OF Birds
Witnessed by Mr.. Lang.
A queer story is told by Mr.. Andrew
Lang, according to the New York
Journal. The incident came under his
own notice and occurred under the
bridge over the Lochy. below the Ben
Nevis Long John distillery. From THIS
tale It is obvious that animals are only
sober from lack Of wit to obtain al
cohol:
THAT establishment disgorses into q
burn quantity of refuse, no DOUBT al
coholic. When we crossed the bridge
in the morning to fish. the ducks from
the farm opposite were behaving IN
drunk and disorderly manner-nylng'
beating the water, diving. spluttering
and greedily devouring the stun from
the distillery. Their antics were funny
but vulgar. BY Q o'clock we found the
ducks sleeping of the effects OF their
debauch. We wakened them and they
staggered eagerly to a bucket OF water.
from which they Quenched the tor
ments of thirst. A small seabird be-
haved in still more deplorable
way. He slowly drifted down the Lochy
from the fatal intoxicated burn. nor
could pebbles judiciously thrown at
him induce him to take to the wing.
He tried to dive. making efforts comic
and unsuccessful. After drifting
through the bridge regret to say that
he returned to the burn and took
cup of kindness yet." getting all the
more intoxicated and drifting back In
a yet more deplorable condition. What
lesson. we said. is this to mankind.
which after all. need not speak OF
boasted reasonableness! The wild and
tame things of stream and ocean are as
unwise as we."
