LEAGUE AND CLUB.
How the Young Republican TangIe
Comes On.

The Young Mems Republican league
IS going to hold meeting next. The
members have their programme cut
and dried. Unless they change. be-
lore the meeting takes place, no posi-
bic reference Will be made to the Young
Mems Central Republican club. The
members of the Young Mems Repub-
lican league have decided that the best
way and the most dignified way for
them 10 do, now that they have the
eafth, as 1T were, is to ignore entirely
the existence OF second organization
II the members of the latter want to
JOIN them, individually or in a body,
they are welcome to 80, and would
probably be accepted to membership in
the league. Otherwise they are out Of
1t entirely. That is the plan decided
upon unless some change is worked
that had not been suggested last night.
In connection with the expression Of
satisfaction which one of the members
OF the league uttered to a reporter, and
which appeared, as an interview in tha
q o of yesterday, was @ References
to Henry Johns appearance at tha
meeting at the Windsor. where the
young man was quoted as saying chat
settles it as far as the league is con-
cerned, as Johns has hOdoOed every
political organization he ever had any
thing to do with" That should not be
misunderstood as the expression or
sentiment of the Glob e any more
than what Mr.. Campnell said when he
remarked, 1--WE can't lop off our legs
and deform ourselves to fit their Proc
rustean beds" Both were quotations;
one said in public the other in private.
Mr.. Johns has been a successful polit-
zeal organizer, and is known as sue
cessful politician. His record shows
that the young Republican who spoke
was not posted on his subject or he
would not have made the remark ne
did.

ADMITTING MISTAKES.
England Showing Signs of Weak
ness Oh the boundary.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Chronicle
says: I'VE are able to say, on high au-
thority, that Lords Granville and F'itz-
maurice between them had virtually
concluded with Gen. Guzman Blanco
on behalf of Venezuela, a treaty con-
tanning an arbitration clause covering,
amongst other things, the boundary
dispute. Unfortunately, when Lord
Salisbury came into power in 1885, one
of his first acts was to cancel the arbi-
tration clause so far as it covered the
boundary dispute. AS a result of our
inquiries we find that Sir Robert
Schomburg gave no proof of the exist
ence Of a Dutch fort at Point Bari
ma, upon which the evidence il, favor
of the northern portion Of thS boundary
largely depends.
"On the whole cur researches have
convinced US that while there are good
grounds fef accepting the extravagant
VENEZUELAN claims, there exists a de-
Ds liable land towards both the north and
the south Of the SchOmburg line. This
is virtually admitted by Lord Salisbury
and it will be a grave error should the
public imagine that a rigid insistence
upon the SchombUrg line, and the dec
laration that we do not admit arbitra-
ton on one side of the line, constitute
the essence of the English case"

OLD FOLKS CONCERT.
Successful Entertainment at Park
Congregational Church,

A large and appreciative audience
listened to the Olde Folks concert at
the Park Congregational church last
evening. AL the singers were dressed
i'll either Puritan or colonial costume
which added much to the zest of the
entertainment. The songs were re-
ceived with much applause on the part
of the audience, and all the numbers,
without exception, We're we'll rendered.
The solo parts were well taken by
Mistress Johnston" Comfort Dyer"
''Melchifedek Hunt" and Squire Eph-
rain Matthew Holcombe." The rounds
by "alle We singers" were particularly
we'll received. During the programme
pail of water was passed around
among the singers, and some old-fash-
toned foot warmers given them, which
furnished much amusement for the
audience. The concert was so we'll at
tended that it has been decided to re-
peat it Friday evening.

THE BANKS CAN HELP,

Our New York dispatches refer brief
~ to the fact that the banks can give
more or less assistance to the treasury
in the difficulties that surround it by
reason of a bad monetary system,
now apparently made permanent by
the cordial support of the Republican
majority. They cannot stop the raid
upon the treasury by those who are
carrying away it's gold reserve. They
can do something to make the Repub-
lican process Of looting more difficult
In order to get gold from the treas
ury it is necessary to present green
backs for redemption. These green
backs are obtained in the ordinary
course Of business from the banks.
To draw great amounts Of gold out
in a short time it is necessary to use
bills Of large denominations. If only
the greenbacks Of small denominations
are available, the process of counting
out the amount at the bank, and re-
counting it at the treasury and paying
out an equivalent in gold,is slow one.
1t is the legal tenders Of large de-
nominations that create the most trou-
bic, and make the process of treasury
depletion rapid one.
1t is the duty Of the banks, all of
whose interests are in line with the
preservation Of confidence and f1nan-
cial security, to do what they can to
remedy the treason and incompetence
Of congress, AS far as possible they
should hold the large denominations
OF legal tenders in their vaults, and
issue only the smaller bills. Since Mr.
Reed has forbidden the secretary of

OPPOSING THE POWERS BILL

Report 20 the House.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 11.-Represen-
tative Bell OF Texas, a member OF the
committee on Pacific railroads. today
presented TO the house a minority repor.
against the Powers bill He opposes the
bill on the ground that 1t proposes TO in
crease the indebtedness OF the Pacific
railroads which Is covered by the first
mortgage. and is a prior lien 10 the gov
eminent len. by Sl5. 900 90. and 10 make
the government lien subordinate TO this
increased indebtedness. He asserts that
while under the Powers plan the COM
paniss would attempt TO give security 20
the government by second lien, If the
government should be obliged to take
possession OF the property, as he pre-
diets that IL would eventually under the
Powers bill q would have 10 assume an
additional debt Of sIs, 100000. He holds
that the property on which the govern
ment would be given a second Len would
be worth less than the am0u1, OF the
first mortgage.
Mr.. Bell recommends that the indebt-
edless OF the roads 10 the government
be extended, provided the companies will
secure the government debt by frs.

SIBERIA A GREAT COUNTRY
Will Doubtless Experience n Boom Whe
the Railroad is Finished.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. I'D. IVA
noy and Peter Kulahoff, members of the
Russian geological survey, who have been
for some time past Investigating the
mineral resources of Siberia along the
route of the great Siberian railroad, ar
rived here on his way to st. Petersburg
They traversed vast distance of
mountain region. Their duty was to ex-
plore the country for 100 miles along the
strip which the road runs or is surveyed,
so as to get a good idea of what the
country afforded.
''We found it wonderful country,
both in point of scenery and in its re-
sources of gold, silver, copper, lead, coal
and other minerals" said one of the gen.
tlemen. 1T was all we could have de-
sired. We collected many specimens of
different kinds of ore, which we are TAX
ing back with us to ST. Petersburg.
Besides the minerals there are nu-
merous areas of magnificent agricultural
lands, available chiefly for growing oats,
wheat, barely and other cereals and veg
etables. The great rivers of the country
afford fine opportunities for commercial
development 1t has a thousands inter-
ests that can be alluded to-,
The Russian explorers will pn,bably
remain here but a few days.
