MAY SOON BE SETTLED
NEGOTIATIONS OVER THE vENEZUE-
Ian DISPUTE NEARING A CLOSE.
Compromise Proposals May BE Of
fered by Sir Julian Pauncefote in
Behalf of Britain.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-There is every
indication that the administration hopes to
be able by the time Congress meets again
to report q sensible advance in the negotia-
tons concerning the Venezuelan boundary
question: though it scarcely can be said
that there Is an expectation of final set
tlement of the dispute by that date. 1t was
understood when the British ambassador
went home on leave of absence it was the
purpose of the British Premier to make
use OF the opportunity to confer with Sir
Julian, and it was presumed that when
Lord Salisbury became acquainted with the
real sentiment CT the people of the United
States and the fact that in this matter the
administration can count on unanimous
support, and that there was little hope of a
change in the attitude of the government
Whatever the outcome of the pending cleo
tions, he might be disposed to go further
towards meeting Secretary Olney than at
11rst seemed likely. Since Sir Julian has
oeen In London word has come of several
salisbury and it is fully expected that
when ne returns to Washington he will be
charged with authority to offer compromise
proposals which may in the end prove to
be the basis for a final settlement of the
troublesome boundary dispate It is ex-
commission will have agreed upon it's re-
port before Congress meets and the con-
clusion reached may very properly be used
with great weight by Secretary Olney to
sustain his position.
AS to the other question, relating to the
negotiation of a general arbitration treaty
it is believed that not much progress will
be made in the settlement of the
closed to exist between the two govern
ments appear to be of larger magnitude
than the issues involved in the boundary
question which, after all, are largely mat
terS of fact.
LONDON, Oct. lat is learned that the
Marquis of Salisbury, the Secretary of
State for the Colonies, Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, and the British ambassador at
Washington Sir Julian Pauncefote, was
most satisfactory and it is believed in the
highest quarters that at least the general
principle of arbitration and the settlement
of the Venezuelan question will be decided
on with the United States before the end
of this month. Sir Julian Pauncefote sails
for New York on Wednesday with final in
Structons the subject.

Postal Receipts Falling Off.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The effect of
TIE political agitation upon business is
indicated by the falling off in postal re-
ceipts for the quarter ending Sept. &c..
pared with the quarter ending in
June, and $e3.O00 IS compared With
the quarter ending Sept. 80 of
last year. While the loss is not large for
the last year, as compared with the cor
responding quarter of 1895, it has taken
place in the face of the fact that the pos
tai revenue increases more rapidly than
population in prosperous years and that
there should have been an increase of
nearly 81 600. 600 under normal conditions.

The Louisiana populist. [volume] (Natchitoches, Natchitoches Parish, La.) 1894-1898, 1896-05-15

From the latest telegraphic dis
patches received as we are going
to press it is learned that the leg
islature has voted to not go behind
the returns, and will seat Foster,
and it is now possible that the fair
State of Louisiana will have to
endure Foster and Fosterism for
another four years.
1t is an admitted fact that Eos
ter's majorities are received from
the negro parishes. In the TWEEN
ty-five parishes where the white
vote predominates Pharr carried
81 and Foster 4. Then we see
that the white people of Louisiana
are compelled to submit to the ne
gro vote and the stuffed negro
vote.
1t is indeed a contemplate sight
to see the party that ever talked
about white supremacy, depending
on the votes of negroes te sustain
them in power.
From Baton Rouge, we learn
that Foster has promised to sign q
bill for a Constitutional Conven-
ton and a new election law, brit to
people of Louisiana, a promise
from Foster is not received with
much consideration. We think 1t
to presume that any
man that will steal I'm Office will
not have to hesitate long to break
promise to rely Upon the word of
Foster is indeed a poor hope for
redress.
The Citizens League, elected
upon a platform of honest election
and fair count, have thrown all
principle overheard, and are now
upholding the steal of Foster.
1t is indeed a sad day for homes
ty iD4 Louisiana. N
