National Banks Urged to Invest fin the
New Bonds and Also to Induce
Patrons to Subscribe.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The administra-
tion, apparently. Is making use of every
legitimate means to make the forthcoming
popular loan conspicuous success. With a
view to stimulating general interest in the
issue, Mr.. Eckels, the Controller Of the Cur
rency, with the approval Of the President
and Secretary Carlisle, has sent copies Of
the following circular letter to all national
banks in the United States:
''Sir-Some days since at the request Of
the Secretary of the Treasury, 1 caused to

the desire OF the government that these
bonds be distributed widely as possible.
fords to national banks especially desiring
to obtain circulation thereon, a longtime
investment, your attention is called TO them,
both as TO this particular feature and tnat
of the general character OF the invest

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The Democratic

Republican convention, and the managers,

licans had named their ticket The manag-

the.convention was not so easily settled. II

finally acquired the requisite majority. Chi

That city, however, was the last factor at

soon became evident that the Western and
Southwestern men were determined on
either St. Louis or Chicago. and between
these cities the fight really lay. When, at
the end of the twenty-fifth ballot, the COM

county organization tonight and elected the

stormy one, but the opposition to Hon. T.

commenced. Only one vote was cast in op-
position to Mr.. Lauterbach, who is supposed
to represent Mr.. Platt and the regular State

ARRANGING FOR ARBITRATION
WITH VENEZUELA DIRECT.
Views Of Henry VI. stanley and other
EngIishmen-oGer from the Pope

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-Aside from the
leisurely manner i'm which the Venezuelan
Commission is arranging 10 prosecute its
work, there are other indications that the
administration has become convinced that
this august body will not have the honor
of settling the great boundary dispute.
While il cannot be stated positively that
this belief is based entirely on any specific
reports from Embassador Bayard upon the
subject, yet there is reason to believe some
assurances of a satisfactory nature have
come to the State Department that the
matter will be terminated shortly. probably
within two months, OF before a report rea-
sonably can be expected from the Nene-
zuelan Commission. and on lines that viii
be unobjectionable TO our government.
While details Of the arrangements are not
obtaInable, and, perhaps, have not yet been
fixed, ii is believed that the basis OF Il will
be arbitration, as proposed originally by the
United States, but with a limitation that
will suffice at least 10 save British pride
and appear TO maintain British consistency.
This is likely to be found in an agreement
between Great Britain and Venezuela, d.

offices OF third party, not necessarily or
probably the United States. 90 submit TO

line, with proviso that, If in the course
of the inquiry of the commission. evidence
appears to support the British title 20 the
lands lying 10 the eastward of that line,
then the body may extend its functions to
adjudicate such title. This arrangement
would meet the British contention that the
original arbitration shall be limited to lands
to the westward of the line. while still con-
ceding the justice of the contention or
President Cleveland that the lands on the
other side may properly be taken into con-
sfderation in fixing the boundary. Possibly
a supplementary arbitration will be left TO

title to the lands is a fit subject fo- arbitra-
tion, as shown by the evidence produced be-
fore il.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 1.-THE victory of

doubt, be used for the convention, 1t occu-
pies half the square between Sixty-second

twice the size of Madison-square Garden,
