PART OF THE MESSAGE.
1T WILL REFER TO THE VENE-
ZUELAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Good Reason to Believe That the
Troubles VIII Be AmicabIy Set
tied, and All Through the Good
Offices of the United States.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The probable
assent of Venezuela in the proposed
treaty of arbitration of the British
Guiana boundary dispute, negotiated
through the good offices of the United
States, and the practical conclusion of
a general arbitration convention be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, it is stated, will form two of the
most important diplomatic announce
ments in the presidents message TO
congress.
What is understood to be in nearly all
essential particulars copy of the pre-
liminary agreement entered into some
weeks between Secretary Olney and
Sir Julian Pauncefote, in the VeneZue-
Ian matter, is made public. The draft
OF the proposed treaty itself which the
Venezuelan minister, Mr.. andrade, car
ried with him to Caracas to lay before
his government is more elaborate than
this agreement 1t starts with a pre-
amble of considerable length, and in
that portion which refers to the fifth
year occupation of the territory in dis
pute, embodies other points besides
mere occupancy and political control,
which will be taken into consideration
by the tribunal. These are expressed
in technical terms which international
lawyers will understand but which
would not be readily comprehended by
others.
Advces received from Caracas do not
bear the impression that the Venezuelan
cabinet is dissatisfied with the treaty,
or that Minister Andrade, who will
shortly return to the United States
will bring with him the draft of a new
treaty as modified by the Venezuelan
authorities. On the contrary, there are
grounds for the belief that President
Crespo and his advisers have given
their full adhesion to the proposed
treaty. Under these circumstances, it
will be signed by Minister Andrade,
representing the South American re-
public, and by Sir Julian Pauncefote,
which the United States will drop
out of the matter, well satisfied to
have been the medium of bringing the
two countries together, and of effecting
a settlement of their long dispute
through the peaceful channels of an
international board of arbitration.
1t was only in this way, it is asserted
on high authority, that such a con-
clusion could have been reached, as
diplomatic relations between Venezuela
and Great Britain have long been sus-
pended, and ii was well known that
her majesty's government would not
consent that Venezuela should have
any choice in the selection of the board
While it is entirely true that the rati-
fication of the treaty must still depend
upon the will of the Venezuelan con-
gress, no doubt is felt that that body
win endorse President Crespo's action.

DANCING TURTLES.
Some CuriOusly Trained Fish In the
Fur East.
[BY c. T. HOLDERI


The spectacle of an old bearded man.
with long, tangled locks, dressed in a
fantastic costume, attracted the attention
OF passers-by one day in one of the large
seaports of Japan. Some said he was
an Aino. pointing TO his long hair and
beard, and that ne was a bear-worshipper
from Magasaki.
The old man stood on the deck of a
house boat, quite as disrcputable as he
himself appeared. and gave an exhibition
that was in every respect rema rkable.
He held an old brass drum. upon which
he beat with several sticks, keeping time
with his foot; and in obedience 70 this
strange summons, number OF common

sizes, crawled out Of box and, forming
themselves in line. began to march, one

command the larger ones took their
places between two boxes and formed a
living tortoise bridge, over which the
others then following suit, whereupon all

groups, like plates about table.
The Japanese have. another. totoise
which they train to perform simple tricks
in the water. 1t is a little creature about
three or four inches long, that from life
of inactivity, has become covered with
a long growth of green pond weed, which
streams behind like hair, as ii swirns
along.
These people are also famous for their
strange fishes of the carp family. some
are short and chubby, with eyes that pro-
trude so far from the head that they look
like telescopes. or the staiked eyes of
some crabs, with which the little crea-
lures can see in every direction. Others
have a broad lace-like tail that hangs
gracefully like a mass Of lace and ap-
pears to be divided into three parts.
Others have perfect black cross marked
upon the back which against the deep
red, which is the prevailing color, pre-
sents magnificent appearance Others
are called the fish of the white cross.

These fanciful creatures are trained TO
perform variety of tricks; they rise at
the sound of a bell, ring a bell them
selves, follow one another IN row a. the
signal, and then in many ways show their
remarkable intelligence
The Japanese also import the famous
fighting fishes from India, which they
keep in an aquarium and match in con-
tests which are, il must be said. de-
cided without bloodshed, though the lit
tie creatures show no little feroc.ty.
The tortoise and crane are both sacred
animals in Japan. and the former is often
seen with the stork walking about vii

and as safe as is the sacred OK in India.

riders, of whom Tom Linton, the worlds
champion; Charley Chapple, the English

stars. The foreigners all looked to be in
fine condition, and expressed a good deal
of confidence that final honors would go
their way. But the American contingent
were equally hopeful of victory, and
Albert Shock, winner of the last six
day race in the Garden, and Charley
Ashinger carried the hopes of the home
contingent The Garden was handsomely
decorated, and from o'clock until mid
night the band of the Sixty-ninth reg;-
ment kept the waiting crowd in good
humor until the men were sent off. The

rather slippery, while the corners Were

Chicago, Dec. 6.-John w Mackay,

the combination sale held at Lexing-

prices obtained being better than at any
sale for a long time. He was of the
opinion it presaged an advance in the
prices of thoroughbredS. He believed
the business outlook was decidedly
