WASHINGTON. OFT. 23.-Sir Julian
Pauncef0te. the British ambassador,
called at the state department today
for the purpose of presenting to Secre-
tary Oinsy certain propositions re-
garding the Ven .zueian controversy.
1t heing cabinet day, SIR Julian and
the secretary had Only 10 minutes con-
ference. The ambassador carried
large roll of documents, which he left
for the careful perusal of tne secretary.
The bulk of the documents seem t0 be
data respecting the extent of British
individual interests in the disputed
boundary territory, Information upon
which Secretary Olney has all along
sought from the British side. If this
troublesome phase of the boundary
dispute can be adjusted satisfactorily.
there is little doubt the main question
can be speedily settled.
II can be stated auth hDritatively thtt
the proposal Sir Jnliin Paunc fDte i
authorized by the British foreign off,.
to present I'd the state d-p trt nent EN-
brace both the Ven zuelan boundary
question and the question of general
treaty between Ergltrj and the
United States. whereby all fu.ure dis
putes will be submitted TO arbitration.
The nature of the proposals is such, il
is believed, that the dispute oyer
Venezuela is much nearer final solu-
tion than at any tune since the trouble
began.

More Gold Will Come.

LONDON, Oct. 23,-Afternoon news
papers agree in saying that the con-
dition in the New York money market
points tn further imports Of gold. The
Westminster Gazette says:
at is absolutely necessary, in order
that no alarm be experienced, that
gold should continue t, be imported.
we think the immediate future of the
market is most uncertaiu, but after th..
residential election it is believed the.
value of money will return to 10 1er
level"

THE OREGON COMING.
The OhEGON COM1NG.
Battle-shIp Left San Francisco Sunday
For a Short Cruise

BattIe-ship Left San Francisco Sunday
For u Short Cruise
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-The battle.
ship Oregon steamed out to sea today
fer the first time since her famous trial
trip. Nothing could be learned pos.
itively of her destination. But it is
common gossip that the prime object
of the trip is to test her batteries, from
the big guns down to the smallest, and
to try her in all the theoretical man.
euvers that could be anticipated in a
regular engagement.
1t is also stated that the Oregon, be-
fore returning to this port, will visit
the Columb bia river, in order that the
Oregonians may inspect her and be
given an opportunity to present her
with the silver service about which so
much has been said and written, The
departure of the big battle-ship did not
attract much attention, as during the
past few weeks she has steamed about
the bay many times.

LATIN and GERMAN
Taught in This city.
GERMAN.

The undersigned desires to organize class in
German. Every American citizen who can af-
ford both time and expense ought to be master
OF Mt least two languages. The German Ian
guage has many advantages over modern Ian
guageS on account of her profound literature in
all branches Of ancient and modern science pro-
duced in her world-reaowned universities.
Those who would drink from these inexhaustible
and yet unadulterated fountains OF knowledge,
must master the language. which contains the
key to them, The undersigned will organize
class in German, and will begin with actual
work on the first day of September. The class
will meet two or three times a week in the
evening or when most convenient to the pupils.
Rapid progress guaranteed to those who will
get down to earnest labor. All who desire to
participate in this work will please announce
their intention to the undersigned at an early
date, a. the class will be limited to q certain
number. Charges Will be very reasonable.
LATIN.
The undersigned will also organize class in
Latin. There are so many reasons why those
who desire TO advance their knowledge beyond
q common school education should take at lei st
o course in Latin, that probably everybody is
familiar with at least some Of them. will not
take space here 10 speak of the beauties of the
Latin language nor of the many advantages in
will here only announce my intention to organ
iZe class in Latin. Rapid progress aran-
tced to those who will work hard Charges
very reasonable. All desiring instruction in
Latin are kindly requested to announce their
intention TO the undersigned before September.

BIDS FOR TIE BONDS,
Several Have Defsuited on Their Allot-
meDte.

SeseraI nave Defauited on Their Allot-
ments.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE question
Of what disposition shall be made OF the
bonds upon which the allottees have de-
faulted by falling to make the required
payment OF twenty per cent. on receipt
OF notice Of the acceptance of their bids,
is now before the Secretary of the.
Treasury. The amount of these de-
faults has not yet been ascertained nor
Ia 1t expected that the exact amount
will be learned before tho middle and
possibly the last Of the week. when the
reports from several of the sub.
treasures are expected to be in. 1t Is
believed, however, that the bid of Will
liam Graves and his associates, of New
York city, for S4,50O,0O0 at Sis 80. 81 ia
by far the largest, and it is probable
that the aggregate will not exceed this
amount by more than $1,000, 600 at the
most.
j. P. Morgan has filed with Secretary
Carlisle on behalf of himself and his as
sociates claim to all defaulted allot-
ments, under his bid of Sl1O.6 s77, and
has deposited in the sub treasury at
New York sufficient gold to cover them.
The Secretary, within the last day or
two. has received o number of offers to
take all bonds upon which default of
payment has been made, at figures con-
siderably in excess Of the-MorRan bid,
but he is undoubtedly inclined to the
opinion that under the terms OF his cir
cular of January 6, he is inhibited from
accepting any bids for bonds after that
date. and hence 1t follows that Mr. Nor
gan and his associates are very likely to
get an amount considerably in excess of
their fret allotment. The Secretary,
however, has not yet made an official
| decision on this point and does not ex-
poet to do 30 before to.morroW.

SUGAR IN CUBA.
Not Even Half Crop Will be Made This

Not Even Half Crop Will be Made This
Year.
WARRINGTON, Feb. 17.-Consul-Gen-
eral Williame has submitted to the De-
partment OF State tables prepared by q
competent sugar statistician, showing
that on January 1 only 90. 500 tons OF
sugar had been received at Havana of
this years crop, against las, a37 tons re-
ceived at the same date last year.
United States Consul Hyatt, at
Santiago. reports under date Of Febru-
ary that the planters in that part of
Cuba are now grinding the unburned
portions OF their cane. The work is
much retarded because the hands cam
not be induced to work at night, fear
ing attack by the insurgents. If sugar.
making proceeds undisturbed the consul
predicts half crop in his district.
