AN ARBITRATION
TREATY ARRANGED
Settlement of Venezuelan
Boundary Disputes to
Follow.
Plenipotentiaries Are Preparing
the Proposed Protocol at
Washington.
0LNEY GAINS CONCESSIONS.
Fifty Years of Undisputed Residence
Shall Give the Right of
Possession.
oLNEY GAINS CONCESSIONS,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 1O.-Every
indication points to the probability that
within the next fifteen or twenty days Sir
Julian Pauncefote and Secretary Olney,
plenipotentiaries appointed for that pur-
pose by their respective Governments,
may be able 10 sign here in Washington
the protocol of proposed treaty. to be
subsequently submitted to their respect
include in its provisions method of ar
5itrating the boundary line between
Venezuela and British Guiana.
The exact terms of this important con-
vention are not yet definitely settled-far
less signed. On the contrary, verbal
changes are continually being suggested
and agreed upon or modified by cable
messages between the plenipotentiaries
and the British Foreign Office.
But that the essential basis of the treaty
has been agreed upon is made clear in the
correspondence which Secretary Olney to-
day felt justified IN making public after
LORD Salisbury's speech at the London
Mansion House last night.
The basis agreed on is that in the "set-
| tied district term of fifty years of un-
disputed residence shall be considered as
giving the right to possession. The ac-
| ceptance of this condition by England is
regarded as a distinct concession, mas
much as it brings under the award of the
arbitration tribunal (Which is to consist of
five distinguished persons not citizens of
any American State) all the districts
which have been settled since the cele-
brated Schomburgk line was drawn in
1910.
1t may take some days further to arrange
| details as TO time and place of meeting of
the tribunal and as TO the selection of the
arbitrators, but there is every reason to
believe that the President may be able to
announce to CONGRESS when il meets in
December next the signing OF the pre-
liminary protocol and to submit it to the
Senate for ratification.
| That this is a strong probability is made
clear by the announcement authorized by
the Venezuelan Commission to-day that it
will suspend the preparation of its report
| for the present, but will proceed with the
compilation of the i'm mportant data it has
| collected.
The King of Sweden and Norway, Oscar
II. has been chosen by treaty between the
United States and Great Britain as the
fifth arbitrator of the boundary question.
The other arbitrators, four in Der, are
to be designated-two by the Lord Chief
Justice of England and two by the Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. This is the final and most impor.
tant feature of the treaty for the com pIete
adjustment OF the long-impending Vene.
zuelan controversy.
As King seldom leaves his country ex.
cept on state visits to other sovereigns il
is not expected that King Oscar II Will go
outside of Sweden for the meeting of the
arbltrators, and the court is likely to sit
at Stockholm, the capital of Sweden
where King Oscars palace and the Halls
of the Swedish Reksdag are located.

Remarkable State of Affairs
Presented in the National
Farmers Congress.
REMoNsTRANCE TO BE MAD.
Agricultural Department Nay Be
Demanie to Make an
Investigation.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 10 About
200 farmers from various parts of the coun-
try met in the hall of Representatives in
the Statehouse to-day to attend the six
teenth annual session of the National
Farmers Congress. Colonel B. f. Clayton
of Iowa, president of the Organization,
was in the chair.
The morning session was devoted entire-
ly to addresses. Mayor Taggart welcomed
the Congress on behalf of the city, j. C.
Offett of Trafalgar on behalf of the farm
ers of the State, and Governor Matthews
on behalf OF the State. Colonel Clayton
delivered the presidents address, and in
the course of it gave the keynote for dis
cussion in the following paragraph:
During the last fscal year of the opera
tions of the former tariff law the agricuI-
tural imports in twenty articles, the like
of which We produce north and south,
amounted to $65, ,S04, 446. During the first
calendar year OF the operation of the pres
ent law the Importation OF the same arti-
cles amounted to $135, LOGS, $780, or an in
crease over the former law of $68, 1854. 314.
In the expectation of farm products we
find the discrepancy still greater in
twenty-seven chief articles produced on
the farm. During the fiscal year 1894 we
exported farm products to the amount of
1907, ,946945, while during the calendar
year 1895 there were exports in the same
products to the amount of $751, 1888, ,997, a
decrease of $156, 113 600.
Adding the gain in imports to the loss
in exports, the American farmers
losses in one year were 1924. 337 ,322. If
these ngures be true a vigorous remon-
STRANGE to these schedules should go up
and we should demand that the Agricult-
ural Department investigate each item.
Should protection be the policy of the
Government, then it should be applied 10
farm products and the Agricultural De-
partment should recommend to the Gen.
eral Government such changes in tariff
schedules as will furnish equal protection
to the products of the farm

circles that the Cleveland administration
will rest upon the laurels won in the set
Element of the Venezuelan boundary dis
pu;e and the vindication of the principle
of the Monroe doctrine, leaving all other
foreign issues for McKinley's administra-
tion to handle.
Nj aior Mckinley will be called upon to

thought that President Cleveland VIII
take no action in regard to Cuba unless
something unusual and unexpected devel-
ops out o. the present situation. Major
McKinley's sympathies are known to be
with Cuba, therefore favorable action IN
Cuba's behalf may be expected.
AS for Hawaii, annexation OF the islands
by the United States is regarded as ex-
tremely proba bic. The attitude OF the Re
publicans upon this question is well
known, and there will be no departure
from the position taken by the party IN
the closing days of Harrison's administra-

MUCH GOLD RECEIVED.

Customs Duties Notc Bein0 Paid in Rel-
IotU Honey.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov 10.-The
treasury for the first time in several years
is receiving gold in considerable quantities
for customs duties. From this reason, and
the further fact previously mentioned in
these dispatches tnat gold is being with
drawn from boarding places and deposited
in the various sub treasures, the gold
balance at the close of business to-day had
increased to 1922, ,234, 315. The present
policy of the department. is to discourage
the receipt of gold, as the treasury has
not on hand, without inconveniencing
itself, sufficient currency to exchange for
all the gold likely to be offered.
The present treasury balance is 1929, 803,
600, of which exclusive of the $122, 900, 600
gold) S51, S53, 900 is in greenbacks and $39.
All 600 in Sherman notes. Only $13, 343, :
600 in silver certificates remain in the
treasury. The continued increase in the
deficit is now engaging the attention OF
Secretary Carlisle and will be treated by
him in his annual report. It is rumored
that he will recommend an increase in the
tax on beer from 81 to 50 per barrel. This
proposition is said to be favored by Com
missioner Miller.
The treasury deficit for this month up
to date-one-third OF the month having
passed-is 81. 453, 600, making an aggregate
since July 1, 1895, of $37, ,442,00O

CANTON, OHIO, Nov. 10-Major Nc
Kinley had a good many visitors to-day
and has been occupied most of the time in
receiving and talking with them. Cover
nor-elect II. S. Pingree of Michigan came
from Detroit to-day to see the President
elect. He talked for a considerable time
to Major Mckinley and told him all about
the campaign IN Michigan. incidentally
he had something to say about the avail
ability of General r. A. Alger for Cabinet
appointment.
Mr.. Pingree did not hesitate to say to
several persons here that he was opposed
to General Alger, and that he did not
think public sentiment in Michigan was
very much aroused in behalf of the ex-
Governor. Mr.. Pingree also declared that
while he did not think the Government
should discriminate against silver or any
other product OF this country, he had
never said he was in favor OF free silver.
The mem bers of the Union Medical As
sociation OF Northeastern Ohio called in q
body on Major Mckinley this evening
and were cordially greeted by the Presi-
dent-eIect. Most Of the other callers to-
day were persons who had been actively
engaged in various forms of campaign
work
William NJ. Hahn, who had charge Of
the speakers bureau at the National Re-
publican headquarters Il Chicago, came
over from Mansfield for chat with Major
Mckinley, and Colonel w. G. Haskell,
formerly United States Marshal for the
northern district of Ohio and sergeant-at-
arms at the Chicago headquarters, Judge
A. L. Morrison of New Mexico and Sec
retary of State Taylor of Columbus were
among Mr.. McKinley's other visitors.
Major Mckinley is hearing a good deal
about the campaign and how the victory
was won from those who were prominent
in its conduct.
Major McKinley's mother and sister
spent the afternoon with Mrs. Mckinley,
who is some what better to-day.
Major Mckinley would have had great
many more callers this week had not the
impression that he had goce to Cleveland
gained wide currency. He expects to leave
on Thursday for weeks visit with Colonel
Myron T. Herrick.
Z A personal friend of Chauncey NJ. De.
pew in this city says that he has Depew's
word for it that he will not accept po-
sition in the Cabinet if it were offered him,
and that he has no more desire to be Sec
retary of State now than he had when he
declined the appointment under President

deal adequately with the disputed CLAIMS
to territory that is not occupied. But
they did not intend by that stipulation to
ask the Government of the United States
to prejudice any questions which had
been raised or might be raised with re-
spe ct 10 the ownership of settled districts.
This part OF the subject, confessedly the
most difficult part, would have been re-
served for separate examination"
Secretary Olney, in reply to this letter
referring briefly to that part of Lord Sails
bury's letter intended to make clear his
meaning in the dispatch of May %, is more
pointed concerning the references to the
far-reaching claim of Venezuela. Secre-
tary Olney says:
THAT Venezuela claims territory ex-
tending into the Essequibo, or covering
two-thlrds of the colony of British Guiana,
cannot be regarded as being of itself an
insuperable obstacle to unrestricted arbi-
tration, but the objection that the Vene-
zuela claim impeaches titles that have
been unquestioned for many generations
is undoubtedly of the most weighty char
acter. The inquiry desire to put, there
fore. is this: Can it be assumed that her
Maiesty's Government would submit to
unrestricted arbitration on the whole OF
the territory in dispute, provided it
be a rule of the arbitration, en-
bodied in the arbitral agreement that
territory which has been in the exclusive,
notorious and actual use and occupation
OF either party for two generations, CIR say
for sixty years. shall be held by the arbi-
traitors to be the territory of such party :?
In other words, will her Maiesty's Gov
eminent assent to unrestricted arbitration
OF all the territory in controversy with the
period for the acquisition of title by pre-
scripiion fixed by agreement of the par
ties in advance at sixty years2"
The concluding suggestion of Secretary
Oiney for sixty years as the period for ac-
QUESTION Of title to property led TO a
counter proposal from Lord Salisbury to
reduce the time to twenty years, which
was the term common in the United
States, or to twenty-one years, which was
common law in England. Venezuela,
however, would not consent to this, nor
did Secretary Olney entertain the sugges-
tlon Tor such reduction. Consldera BILE
discussion finally resulted in a virtual
agreement on fifty years as the period
Fifty years would fully satisfy Venezuela,
and would practically make the arbitra-
tion unrestricted, as nearly all the British
aggrr ssions have taken place since that
time, Schomburgk's line having been
drawn wholly within that period.
