MACON. Ca. March 5.-Warren Girls
well to-day made a voluntary confession
to having removed the rail that caused the
wrecking of the two trains on the Southern
railroad on the night of Feb. g. Three peo-
pie were killed outright and fifteen serious
ly and some permanently injured in the
wreck Criswell says he removed the spikes
from the rail under the direction of Tom
Shaw, who held him covered with a shot
gun. Shaw has been arrested. but denies
the charges made by Criswell. The wives
of both men were on the train and both
were injured. The detectives at work on the
case say they have positive proof that the
men entered into the pot to get rid of
their wives and at the same time collect
damages from the railroad company. Shaw
yesterday effected a compromise for the
injuries sustained by his wife, receiving, il
is said, $500 from the railroad company.

CAUSES CONCERN
Agitation in Venezuela Against
the Arbitration Agreement
May Defeat 1t.
Minister Andrade Postpones His
Return to Washington on
That Account.
Venezuela Newspapers Appear
to Be Under Government
Censorship.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l2-The unofficial
reports from Venezuela that a serious
agitation has sprung up against the
boundary settlement agreed OH between
the United States and Great Britain
causes much surprise and no little con-
Germ III official quarters here. Minister
Andrade and MIR. James Storro were to
have sailed from La Guayara. the sea-
port of Caracas Friday noon on the
Red d steamer Philadelphia, and the
boat was expected to reach New York
the 18th. Mr.. Andrade had cabled the
time of his leaving, and had added an
official cablegram to Mr.. Olney, stating
that President Crespo approved the
agreement and would call an extra ses-
sion of congress TO ratify it.
May lmperiI the Agreement.
For this reason the reports that Mr..
Andrade and Mr.. Storro will not re-
turn at present, owing to unexpected
developments growing out of the agita-
ton against the settlement, is felt to
embarrass, and possibly imperil, the
final adjustment which had been con-
tidently expected at an early day.
Up to the present time, President
Crespo has not called an extra session,
and 30 days must expire after the call
before the congress meets. This has
led to a question whether Venezuela
should bear the heavy expense of an
extra session convening one month be-
fore the regular session of Feb. 20.
The Venezuelan papers which reached
Washington on the last steamer, are
being carefully scanned, but they are
very guarded and appear to be subject
to some government advisement on the
subject.
The arrival of Mr.. Andrade and Mr..
StOrrO and their conferences with
President Crespo are not mentioned,
the only reference being an eulogistic
welcome TO Mr.. StOrro. La Liberal
treats the settlement as advantageous
and says it not only aids Venezuela.
but establishes a great precedent, by
which the United States islands as a
sentinel i'll front Of the American re.
publIcs, against European greed for
dominion.

Huntiuw the wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it Unfortunately called, is a
species OF big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not SO much because
of the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because OF It's actual
rarity. 1t is "A stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t is not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
>line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
