TEN YEARSIN PRISON
Sentence Imposed Upon ex-Treas-
urer Morrison at Troy.
PLEAD GUILTY TO EMBEzzLEMENT
Downfall of the Prominent ex-Bank
Cashier and Treasurer, Popular
Merchant, Society Man and OFF,
cial of Rensselaer, County.

Troy, N. Y, Nov. lin the SUI
preme court in this city yesterday af-
ternoon ex-county treasurer George HI.
Morrison pleaded guilty to two indict.
ments for misappropriating county
funds and was sentenced to ten years
and five months in Clinton prison.
His decision to plead guilty was de-
termined upon shortly after the recon
vening of court for the afternoon
session. Morrison is ex-cashier of the
National bank of Troy, and prior to
the first week in October was county
treasurer of Rensselaer, county. I'm
mediately after the closing of the
doors of that bank, rumors affecting
the solvency of Morrison and relative
to his management of the affairs of
the county treasurership became
prevalent He subsequently trans
ferred to his bondSmen all his real and
personal property, valued at about
$190,0OO. On the same day as the
transfer Morrison was taken into GUS
tody on a warrant charging grand
larceny in misappropriating about
$4,000 due to the city of Troy for
money collected under the Raines law.
He was bailed on this charge, the
bond being for $40 900. A day or two
later, as result of the investigation
of the accounts of the county treas
urer by the board of supervisors, he
was again taken into custody on a
charge of grand larceny in misappro-
priating $3.50, 900 of county funds. He
was indicted by grand jury two
weeks ago, and his trial was COM
menced yesterday. The specific in
dictment on which the accused was
sentenced was for refusing to pay to
his successor as county treasurer two
distinct sums of money. Mr.. Morrison
is 46 years of age, and has always
resided in Troy. He is member of
the Rensselaer, county bar, and has
been prominent in manufacturing and
banking circles for number of years.

ARBITRATION IS SURE
Minor Details in Venezuela Matter
Not Yet Settled, However.
VERBAL CHANGES STILL SUGGESTED
The Preliminary Protocol Will Probably
BE Ready for Congress When It
Meets in December---Eng-
lands Concessions.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Every indica-
tlon points to the probability that
within the next fifteen or twenty days
Sir Julian Pauncefote and Secretary
Olney, plenipotentiaries appointed for
governments, may be able to sign here
in Washington the protocol of pro-
posed treaty to be subsequently sub
mitted by their respective governments
for approval which will include within
its provisions a method of arbitrating
the boundary line between Venezuela
and British Guiana. The exact terms
OF this important convention are not
yet definitely settled-far less signed
On the contrary verbal changes are
continually being suggested and agreed
upon, or modified by cable messages
between the plenipotentiaries and the
British foreign office. But that essen
tial basis of the treaty has been agreed
upon is made clear in the correspond
ence which Secretary Olney last even
ing felt justified in making public after
Lord Salisbury's significant speech Mt
the London Mansion house Monday
night and published in these dispatches
The basis agreed on is that in the
SETTLED districts" term of fifty
years of undisturbed residence,
shall be considered as giving the
right to possession. The acceptance
of this condition by Great Britain
is regarded as distinct consession in
asmuch as it brings under the award of
the arbitration tribunal (which it to
consist of five disinterested persons,
not citizens of any American states)
all the districts which have fbeen set
tied since the celebrated Schomburgk
line was drawn in 1910. 1t may take
some days further to arrange details
as to time and place of meeting of the
tribunal and as to the selection of ar
bitrators, but there is every reason to
believe that the president may be able
to announce to congress when it meets
in December next the signing of the
preliminary protocol, and to submit it
to the senate for ratification. That.
this is stong proba ability is made clear
by the announcement authorized by
the Venezuelan commission yesterday
afternoon that it will suspend the
preparation of it's report for the pres
ent, but will proceed with the COM
pilation of the important data it has
collected.
