The capital stock is to be 10,000, 900,
and a bond issue of $4,000, 900 is pro-
vfded for. The canal system, for which
the bill provides, includes canals from
the head of tide navigation on the

notice by paying the value of the
property. Speaking of the bill, Sena-
tor Hansbrough- said.
Although the persons securing this char
ter have a broad and liberal charter for a
ship canal from Lake Erie to the Atlantic,
through Canada, granted by the dominion
government, with the privilege of using and
enlarging the Welland canal, which is very
important, and that such a route is i'm
mensely cheaper than one on American soil
to the seaboard, it is true that Secretary
Flower drafted a charter for an exclusively
American route and induced the company as
am informed, to do nothing in Canada until
it should be demonstrated whether similar
charter could be secured from the congress
of the United States''

BRITAIN COMEDIES MUCH.
Reported Settlement of the Vene-
zueInn ImbrOgIiO.

CHICAGO, March PA special dispatch to
the Chronicle from Washington, D. c., says:
A settlement of the Venezuelan question has
been reached. 1t will be announced at an
early day. Of this satisfactory conclusion of
the controversy the president has had knowI-
edge for two days past Great Britain has
acted with a magnanimity which commends
her to severest critics. She comedies so much
that there will be little left to arbitrate should
arbitration be necessary. 1t is not improbable
that the entire matter may now be settled
outside the Venezuelan commission by the
president and Lord Salisbury. Under the
terms sc far as outlined, Great Britain agrees
to submit all the questions in dispute to ami
cable adjustment with the president, through
the state department, as one of the contract
ing parties. That Venezuela would agree to
anything suggested by the United States has
been known all along. 1t is said that some
OF the influential London papers, in pointing
out alleged defects in the British blue book,
may have had something to do with the change
OF attitude by Queen Victoria's ministers. The
president was in very high spirits last night
over the favorable turn in the controversy
between the two nations.

RUINED BY RAsCALITY.
Prominent Cleveland Wholesaler
Forced to the Wall.

CLEVELAND, O., March 12.-The big
wholesale boot and shoe house Of
Cbilds, Croft & Co., at 80 and S4 Bank
street, was forced to the wall late this
afternoon by the embezzlement of a.
large sum of money by William B.
Huntington, the junior member and
financial man of the firm
Huntington admits having taken $4O,-
600 in the past twenty-five years, which
he says he spent in his household. It
is believed that 100000 is nearer the
true sum. His partners, Henry B.
Childs and Henry r. G.. Croft, have
given mortgages on everything they
own to cover the deficiency and both OF
them are ruined by Huntingtons ras-
cality. 1t will be impossible to give
even an estimate of the liabilities until
the affairs Of the firm are put into
shane

Matrimonial Affair

WINONA, Minn., March ia story of one
of the youngest girl elopements on record
comes from the village of Oronoco AS usual,
the couple went to Wisconsin to have the

trouble of securing a marriage license
Last Monday a young man named Wallace
Peek, accompanied by young girl but thir-
teen years of age, went to Rochester They
gave it out at Oronoco that they were going
to attend dance, and would be home late
the same night. This portion of the escapade
seems to have been with the consent of the
parents. They did not return the same night
nor the next day. Yesterday the girl, whose
name is Carrie Braley, wrote home to her
mother that she was married, and that they
expected to go to St. Paul to reside here
after, where the parents of the groom now
live. The girl-wife's mother is nearly crazed
over the affair. and great CONSERVATION pre-
walls in the family. There is strong talk of

SPANIARDS ARE PLEASED
That No Action Is, Taken on the Gu
ban Resolutions.


LONDON, March 13.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says: All
classes are pleased that the Washing
ton government is ignoring the congress
SIGNAL resolution concerning the rec
ognition Of the Cubans as belligerents.
The Impartial considers that the con-
ftict over the subject has been ad-
journed. Ell TEMPO thinks that the in
cident has, furnished lesson which
should not be lost. Ell Liberal calls it
truce.
The government organs claim that it
is a success for Spanish diplomacy and
the cool behavior of the ministry. The
Republicans insinuate that the danger
Is only postponed. Only one paper
courageously suggests the expediency
of using the truce to devise some ma
tional solution free from foreign pres
sure to insure the moral and material
pacification Of Cuba. The rest of the
press advocate the crushing of the re-
bellion at all costs.
The government and it's supporters
are delighted at the prospect of pre-
serving cordial relations with the
United States or eve of a general cleo
Z tion when the ministers are concerting
loan of $25, 600, offered by colonial
bankers, to cover the cost Of the war
until the autumn, when the cortes will
vote supplies to continue the war for

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March 12.-
After the hardest campaign ever
fought in this city or state, Senator
Pettigrew carried the caucuses in
every ward of the city and nearly
every precinct in the county by major
tiles of two to one. The combination
which had been formed to prevent his
going as delegate to st. Louis is killed.
Pettigrew came home two weeks ago
and has made vigorous campaign,
speaking in all neighboring school
houses, charging his opponents with
being railroad lobbyists and advocat-
ing free silver. 1t is thought he will
easily carry the state and South Da-
kota will be against Mckinley.

REPORTED AGREEMENT ON THE
VENEZUELAN DISPUTE IS SOMEn
WHAT PREMATURE.
MAY BE SOMETHING IN IT.
BUT OFFICIALS SAY THEY KNOW
NOTHING OF SUCH A SET
ELEMENT.
GOOD PROGRESS BEING MADE
End of the Trouble Were Never
So Bright.

LONDON, March 13.-The Daily
News states this morning that nego-
tiations on the Guiana boundary dis
pute continue, "but the question upon
which both Lord Salisbury and Mr..
Olney have made mutually unaccept-
able proposals, refers to the treatment
of the settled districts If an agree
ment is reached on this point, the
boundary dispute will be referred to a.
joint commission Of Englishmen and
Americans. Mr.. Curzon, the parlia-
mentary secretary for the foreign office,
will make statement in parliament on
the subject on Monday"
With respect to the rumor from
Washington, that a settlement had
been arrived at, the Daily News sug-
gests that it means that a joint COM
mission has been agreed to.
The Daily News also gives a long ex-
planation of the flaws in the British
case on the dispute, and admits that
Slips have crept into the blue book.
Such errors are unfortunate" it con-
tlnues, but are almost unavoidable in
dealing with an immense mass of docu-
ments. But they do not substantially

The correspondent of the Standard at
New York telegraphs as follows: 'It
Is peheYed that the Venezuelan ne
got1ations are proceeding hopefully on
the basis of purchase of the disputed
districts"
WASHINGTON, March 12-It was
stated positively, notwithstanding the
publications to the contrary. that no
settlement has been reached on tho
Venezuelan boundary question. but. ac-
cording to the best authority. matters
are proceeding in such fashion as war
rant the belief that there will be a.
satisfactory outcome. It is admitted at
present that it cannot be told whether
the ultimate settlement of this aues-
ton will be effected as the result Of
| direct negotiations between Great Brit
ain and Venezuela, Initiated through
the medium Of some mutually friendly
power. or as the conclusion of the
work of our own Venezuelan boundary
commission. but in one way or the
other peaceable and honorable settle
ment of the dispute is believed to be
entirely probable in the end, though

LONDON, March 12.-The permanent
under-secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, Sir Thomas Henry Sanderson,
was asked today if the report cabled
here from the United States that a set
tlement of the Venezuelan question has
beenr eachedw as correct. He said
that he would be glad to know that
the Venezuela dispute was settled, but,
he added, I know nothing about such
settlement as the one reported in
New York as having been reached,
For all 1 know, such a settlement may
be near, hut have not heard of it."

Lamont was last night found guilty of MUIR

The evidence has shown that he is one of
the most desperate criminals ever tried in
this county. The only motive made apparent
for the killing of Mccarthy was that he want
ed the latter's coat and shoes. These articles
were afterwards sold by him to parties at
Two Harbors, Minn., for paltry sums, and
