WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-But one
point in the matter of detail and not el
merits remains open between the Unite0

ment of the Venezuelan question. Ca
Diagrams passing between London ana

lieve this point, which has delayed the
formal affixing of the signatures to the
arrangement of settlement. will be de-
termined within day or two.
1t has been found that 1t IL no easy
task to take the lord chief justice, solic-
4tor general or other eminent British ju-
dicial functionary from his present ina
portant duties and charge him with
other duties which may take months or
years in their execution. For that rea-
son it has been considered wise to set
tie the matter at the outset. The point
remaining to be settled relates wholly
to the personnel of the arbitration tri-
bunal and in any event will not AFFECT
the merits of the agreement already
reached. The arrangement as to King
Oscar II of Swden is final so far as Mr.
Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote are
concerned. The agreement on the king
as chief arbitrator was made under the
same circumstances and conditions that
always attach to the ruler of a nation.
Diplomatic usage implies that the king
could name another nominal represen-
tative to relieve himself Of the more la
borious duties of the position.
There is much amused comment
among those intimately familiar with
the facts at the first efforts in some
quarters to make nice Determinations
as to the terms of King Oscars service
and to question the service itself, when
In fact this branch of the subject was
removed from the field of discussions
some days ago.
Now that the facts Of an agreement
are known, fuller information IL OBJ.

conference sat from II o'clock this morn
ing to 2 o'clock this afternoon at the

of Sanford Fleming, who has been ap-

the statements made known. The cable
commission has decided that hereafter
subject to the personal convenience of
the members it will sit daily from II to
2 and it also decided not to publish the
names of the witnesses called. for fear
that pressure might be brought to bear
upon them. Fleming will cross-ex-
anime all the technical witnesses at
the next session of the conference, which

sufficient money at his disposal to COM

General Removed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.-Attor-
neys for the See Yup company are pre-
pairing charges against Fung Yung
Heng, acting Chinese consul-general,

his office.
The charges will be filed with the min
lister at Washington. The present con-
sul-general has been here about year
and a half, the usual term of service
being three years. The petition will be
backed by all the influence of the Bee
Yup organization. Fully two-thirds of
the merchants of Chinatown are mem
bers of the organization and they are
by far greater in number in China than
the Sam Yups. The recent bill in equity
filed in the United States court, in which
an injunction was granted against the
consul-general, will form the basis of the
charges.
