Venezuelan Commission Held an In

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Inasmuch as the
Venezuelan commission, at the conclusion of
its last meeting, adjourned to meet next
Friday, there was no regular meeting to-
day. although three of the members, Presi-
dent Brewer and Messrs. Alvey and White,
held a conference with the secretary of the
commission. Mr.. Mallet-Provost, to compare
notes Of the progress Of the work. The two
absent members, Messrs. Coudert and Gil

present the commission is awaiting the re-

and Venezuela have promised to submit,
and when that is at hand it is expected
that rapid progress can be made. Mean

Ex-senator Dawes Appears Before the
Indian Affairs Committee.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Ex Senator
Dawes, chairman of the Dawes Indian com
mission, appeared before the house committee
of Indian affairs in support of the bill intro
duced in the house yesterday. He explained
at great length the situation among the five
civilized tribes and the manner in which the
white Indians were absorbing all the best
lands by obtaining leases. In the Cherokee
nation, he said, 100000 acres out of 3.000,-
600 were leased to siXty-one 1rms and indi-
viduals. In one case, he said, white man
had married woman who was one-sxteenth
Cherokee. BY that marriage, according to
the laws of the nation, he became Cherokee
and he now holds 900 acres without paying
a cent into the nations treasury. He de-
scribed how Pennsylvania coal experts had
told the Indians where to discover coal" and
in virtue of their discovery" had obtained
the use of the lands which they had leased
to coal operators forever at ridiculous figures.
Every foot of the vast coal deposits was he
said now covered by these leases. The
trouble, he said, was with the Indian courts,
which were corrupt, ana with the councils,
which were dominated by the white In
dians," whom, he said, were the keenest poll
tcians he had ever seen.
In support of his charges to the cor
ruption of the courts he described how ver-
diets had been openly for sale. In reply to
questions as to the LEGALITY OF the leases MADE
by individual Indians he said that some of
them had been ratified by congress under
prescribed conditions, but that the question
was still open. He said that there was an
utter perversion of functions Of government
in the nations and change such as was pro-
posed In the bill submitted, which would re-
quire executive approval of the acts of the
councils, give the United States courts juris
dictlon of all land cases and provide for the
revocation of certain leases, would prevent

WONDERFUL INVENTION.

Professor Rowland's Multiplex Printing
Telegraph Soon to BE on the Market.
The multiplex printing telegraph, in
vented by Professor Henry A. Rowland
of the Johns Hopkins university, will
soon be put upon the market. BY this
instrument an operator can transmit
telegram written upon a typewriter and
have it reproduced in typewriter form
at the receiving end. In addition to the
typewriting part of the invention DR..
Rowland, with his new machine, can
send over the same wire five or six diff
fereDt messages ut the same time in one
direction, which. in duplex, makes 10
or 10 messages that can be transmitted
on the same wire at the same time.
Thus with five operators at each end OF
line sending each an average Of 80
mitted each minute.
DIR. Rowland inquired at the patent
office in Washington and was informed
that no such invention has ever been re-
ceived there, typewriting telegraphy
having been attempted before, but upon
entirely different principles. He has
used q synchronous device in his inven-
tion. and in the mechanical arrange
ment of the typewriter has used but
eight signals, the letters being produced
by combinations. The current Of elec-
tricity transmitting the message can be
relayed, and in this manner the inven-
ton can be operated for great distances.
When completed, DR.. Rowland says,
the new instrument will he as conven-
lent and as easily operated as the or

NO TARIFF BILL.

In ell probability the Dingley tariff
bill will not become law at this session
OF Congress. The Republicans in Con-
gress have probably got instruction
from headquarters, i. e., Mark Hauna
not 70 favor the bill. Probably the
DICTATOR OF the Republican party thinks
that il q tariff bill should be enacted
before March 4 President Cleveland
and the Democratic party would enjoy
q share of the credit for he ping 10

revenue to meet the expenses OF run

likely to be supported by strong popu-
lar feeling such as tariff law will not
be able to run the gauntlet of Republi-
can obstruction in Congress If Mark
Hanna knows it. All moves OF q popu-
lar nature wi be delayed until aft
the Inauguration of Mckinley and his
assistant. Hanna proposes to have
monopoly OF public approval after
March A. The deficit will in the mean
time run up to the extent of about
5000, 900. This will be an additional
and unnecessary burden to the people,
but as the Democrats will be blamed
for it Hanna does not care.

John ID. Rockefcller's Plans For . 81. .OO0,
900 Residence ut Boxwood.

John u. R0ckefcllePs Plans For . d, ,OOO,-
600 Residence at Boxwood.
It is reported ON good authority that
John d. Rockefeller. the multimillion-
aire, will positively erect. during next
spring. n magnificent residence on his
country seat, Boxwood, at Pocantico
hills. Boxwood covers an estate of near
ly 500 acres. The highest point of the
property is known as the Kykout hill
and is O historical spot because Wash
ington once stood there and from its
height made foray upon the British.
This summit Mr.. Rockefeller has select
ed IA the site for his new manor house.
During the past six months upward of
900 men and 90 teams have been busy
lowering the top of the Kykout so as to
have sufficient room for the foundation
and landscaping the slopes around about,
under the direction of Engineer Hem
ingway. who was engaged as superin-
tendent Of the gigantic undertaking.
Mr.. Rockefeller has so far spent proba-
bly, $3.50, 900 in this work.
According to the stories told by the
contractors, the new manor house will
cost over 81 900, 900. An architect who
is relative Of the Rockefeller family
is drawing the plans. The style of archi-
lecture will be after French classic de-
signs, with Greek finish. 1t will be
built of highly polished granite, will
be nearly 800 feet in length and will
have depth of something like 20 feet.
The ornamentation will be of marble.
The building will stand on such high
point that there will be magnificent
view of the American Rhine for miles
both north and south. The interior dec-
orations will be Of pure French and
Italian designs.
There will he grand salon, tapestry
hall, drawing rooms, parlors, reception
and dining rooms and library. each An
ished in different color. In addition to
this building a large training stable, a
conservatory. cottages for the superin.
tendent, gardener and coachman and a
lodge will also be bailt. One Of tie fea-
lures Of the Rockefeller country house
will be the private park surrounding it,
which will be made as beautiful as
landscapes can make IL. A walled gar
den space of several acres will be devot-
ed to- grouping horticultural products,
such as orchids, chrysanthemums and
roses, for which Mr.. and Mrs. Rockefel-
ler have special hobby. Mrs. Rockefel-
Ter recently told friend that she is in
love with the charming scenery about
Pocantico hills, and when the new resi-.
dence is completed she intends spending
the entire year there instead of residing
in the city in the winter. The weekly
pay roll of the laboreEs employed in
landscaping the Rockefeller grounds
and preparing the foundations averages
from $4,000 to %, ,00O.-New York
