All the parties interested were aversa
to speaking of the prospective meeting

has transpired, however, that there has
for some months been dissatisfaction
agement of the business, and it is now
thought that this feeling took such

Forsyth as final and it is understood
that he Will withdraw from the COM

THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION
a WAY HAS BEEN OPENED FOR Ex-
PECTED NEGOTIATIONS.

A Diplomat of Vast Experience and
Treaty Negotator OF Renown Has Ar
rived In Washington From Great Britain
Secretary Olney to be Given Dinner by
the British Ambassador.
Washington, March 16.-While state
department. officials refuse to talk about
Secretary Olneys suggestion to Lord
Salisbury of a method of settling the
Venezuelan dispute, it is understood
gotiations which are expected to result
in some plan of adjusting the boundary
claims satisfactory to all concerned.
The reply of Great Britain to Mr. Oh
ney's proposal has not yet actually
reached the state department, but it is
on the way and there are good reasons
for believing that Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador, has With
in the past twenty-four hours received
full instructions to enter into negotia-
tions here on the subject.
The arrival in Washington just at this
juncture Of Sir Henry Stafford North
cote, diplomatic and treaty negotiator
of wide experience, has been associated
with the Venezuelan affair. Sir Stat
ford Northcote, however, asserts that
his visit Is purely personal. He took
lunch with Sir Julian Pauncefote to-
day. Sir Stafford Northcote accompa-
MED the Marquis of Ripon to Washing
ton to arrange the Alabama claims
treaty in 1871, serving as secretary of
the British claims commission, and he
was Lord Salisbury's secretary at Con-
stantinople in 1876 during the negotia-
tions then in progress. He has been
thought an extremely valuable man.
Diplomatic relations betw cen Venezue-
la and Great Britain have been sus-
pended for some years, and Minister
Andrade and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
representatives of those respective ma
tions in Washington have heretofore
held no official communication.
On Wednesday next formal state
dinner to Secretary Olney will be given
by the British ambassador. The Ven
ezuelan minister has accepted an in
yitation to a reception which is to fol-
low. 1t is possible this occasion may
be made the means of bringing abou.
a resumption of diplomatic as we'll as
social amenities between the diplomats
concerned.

the Texan, over balanced and slipped.
Joe rushed and sent his left hard on
the jaw, forcing Bright Eyes" head
down. Walcott fell short and bright

neck. Joe evaded a couple of rushes
cleverly. Joe landed twice lightly on
the chest, and followed his man with
a water melon grin, when the belT rang.
In the third Walcott was first to

brought down the house. Bright Eyes,
