Venezuelan Affairs By No Means
Entirely Forgotten.
EngrOsscs Attention of the State
Department at Washington.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. June 25--Secretary
Olney's unannounred departure from Wash
lngtun-he went away yesterday afternoon.
although the fact was not generally known
until this morning has created consterna-
ton in the ranks of those persons
who, mislrd 10y sensational dispatches
from Havana. are looking for an
immediate declaration of war with
Spain. and who had the president fleeing
from Washington 50 as to find undisturbed
secluson ON the placid bosom of the Poto-
mae to write his proclamation putting the
military forces of the United States in the
field.
As II matter of fact. Mr.. Olney has gone
away from Washington because there is
nothing to demand his immediate attention
for the next few days or until the turn in
the diplomatic Kaleidoscope once more
brings Venezuela under the lens.
While Spain, like the poor, is always with
iis. the Venezuelan affair is now occupying
the attention of the state department more
than anything else, and very Interesting de-
veIopments may be expected in the course
of the next ten days or two weeks. At that
time all the correspondence which has passed
between the governments of Great Brit
ain and the United States in regard to
Venezuela and a general treaty OF arhitra-
tion between the two countries. and by the
terms of which ii is hoped to include the
Venezuelan dispute and bring about Il Srt-
tlrment. will be made public. the two gov
ernments having agreed to simultaneously
publish the correspondence.

WHAT LONDON THINKS.
Comments of The Papers on The
Nomination of Mckinley.

LONDON, England. June 2l-The leading
weekly papers here crticise the results OF
the republican convention at st. Louis, chiefly
from the point of view relating to Anglo
American International finance and COM
merce. The Economist says that the waver-
ing of the McKinleyites does not impress
people here with the belief that they can be
trusted to take resolute measures to ensure
the maintenance Of the gold standard. The
advent to power of party that will unsettle
the existing tariff will unsettle trade.
The Statist says that despite the decision
of the convention In favor Of sound money
the election of Mr.. Mckinley will not assure
the restoration Of order In currency 30 long
rs the Senate is governed by silverite ma
jority. President Cleveland, 1t adds, has
met the opposition of the Senate by contin-
ual borrowing, and Mr. Mckinley will go on
borrowing. He is certain to disturb trade
by raising the customs duties. The United
States, within seven years bas had three al
terations in the tariff. Probably there will
be q revolt against new Mckinley bill. but
the country is threatened with a fourth tariff.
The outlook, therefore, does not improve,
but grows darker. Investors ought to leave
American securities alone.
The Spectator declares that it is prema-
ture to assume that the republicans will win.
The Democratic convention to be held at
Chicago. may. by a successful straddle, at
tract the silver vote.
The Saturday Review says that the st.
Louis convention ought to have reassured
business men that the triumph of silver
would have been followed by panic in the
United States and here, which would hive
been the most disastrous financial crash
known in history.

BOIES SEEKING AID.
Wants Delegates to Convention
to 90 Without Instructions.
Most Members Of the Illinois Con-
tion for Silver or Unpledged.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 23-Horace Boies,
formerly governor Of Iowa, is bending all
his energies toward securing the indOrse-
ment Of the Illinois democratic state con-
vention, but this he will not get. as it is not
governor Altged's idea to have the delega-
ton to Chicago instructed for anybody. 1t
Is well known however, that the Illinois men
are more friendly to Boies than any one
else. and that governor Altgeld's workers
have for some time been openly talking for
him.
John G. Welsh OF Iowa, who Is here work
ing the Boies boom said -
IL think there is Il great chance for the
democracy" he said today. This state will
join Iowa in naming Boies l cannot say
that any agreement has been reached, but l
have every hope that the Peoria convention
will prove itself friendly. The campaign
will be in the West this time, and for that
reason, If no other Illinois, hope, will help
name a western man.
All the delegates to the Peoria convention
have been selected. the last counties having
held their conventions. OF the 1,069 dele
gates Altgeld has / .052. and 9S5 have de-
clared for silver and 81 for gold. Fifty-three
delegates go to the convention lininStructed
as to the currency question. An out and out
silver plank will be put in the state plat
form.
A despatch from Milwaukee says governor
Matthews. of Indiana, is endeavoring to of
set the Boies literary bureau at Chicago. by
active work on the part of his political fol-
lowers in a still hunt for delegates. Wauke-
sha politicians who were in the city today,
said Eli Marvin. Of the Ioosier state, has
been in that city looking for delegates to the
Chicago convention.
Milwaukee and other centres in Wiscon-
sin have been visited by both Boies and Mat
thews men, but the Badger state delegates
to Chicago will be for honest money.
Senator George 4. Shoup of Idaho, who
was here, stated emphatcally that he be-
lieved 1t was more to the interests of his
constituents for him to remain in the repub-
lican party and fight under the old stand
ard than seek relief from demoralized
democracy or disorganized minority.

pupil The familiarity which followed from
their relations us teacher and pupil warmed
into love, and when Miss Gardner was on
the eve Of her departure from France to visit
her New England home the man to whom
she was this morning married asked her.
"You will not engage yourself to any one
while in America will you?'
Her verbal promise. then given, has been
confirmed by long years of ronstanry, al
though in the interim Miss Gardner was
again and again brsought in marriage.
The objection of the mother of the man
was the bar that hindered their union. She
insisted that her 4on should marry no one
but French % an. and so the obedirnt
couple waited Senty-siX years. till the
mother died. until the man was 73 and the
woman Al. and then their hopes reached
their full frution.
