LenaDle, ana that NeneZuelaS claim is a
just one. Unless some new facts come
to light, this will be the nature of their
decision
In the negotiations which have been
going on between the Washington and
London governments, it is stated that
some weeks ago Lord Salisbury showed
a disposition TO attempt d settlement of
the Venezuelan difficulty by negotiation
with the United States He had already
endeavored to make terms with Nene-
zuela
ON A MONEY BASIS
and failed President Crespo rejecting his
proposition.
Lord Salisbury tren minated to the
United States his willingness to permit
the dispute TO go TO arbitration, so 1ar
as the boundary line is concerned but
insisted that the question as to what was
to become of the interests of British set
tiers in the disputed territory, and what
is wnown as ''the settled districts was
TO be left as subject of future discus
sion. This proposal was not accepted,
however. President Cleveland and Sec
rotary Olney declined to recommend to
Venezuela any plan of arbitration which
did not include the whole subject and
provide for settlement of all the points
at issue. This government replied with a
suggestion that Great Britain agree to
place before the arbitration tribunal the
whole question, so that in case the YER
diet should be against England, the set
tiers and miners now operating under the
license from the British crown would
become subject to the laws of Vene-
Zuela.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND WAS FIRM
in his insistance that if the territory
rightfully belonged to Venezuela, all Ii
cenSeS, privileges and control belonged
TO her also.
To the suggestion that the United
States would recommend arbitration on
these terms, Lord Salisbury has as yet
made no reply
Unofficial intimations, however, have
been received that the question will I'LL
timately be submitted to arbitration, the
only obstacle in the way being as to the
disposition of the British settlers in case
the decision should be adverse to the
English claim. 1t will be at once seen
there is a formidable obstacle, because
these people have been induced to settle
in the disputed territory under the i'm
preston that they were under the Brit
ish flag and subject to British laws. They
are naturally disinclined to be forced to
recognize Venezuelan authority.
The Venezuelan boundary commission
has already made such progress in its
work that it is able to form some idea
as to the
MERITS OF THE SUBJECT
with which they are dealing. 1t can be
stated that the commission has come 10
the opinion, from the result of the inveS-
LEGATIONS already made, that the British
claim is untenable and that Venezuela
claim is a just one.
The British blue book which was so
laboriously prepared by commission of
distinguished lawyers is regarded here
not only as extremely weak. but as hav
ing been put together in a careless and
slip shod manner.
The conclusion drawn by persons close
to the president, is tE.f England will
ultimately yield her scruples on the
settled Districts and that she will ar
bitrate the matter before the boundary

Deliver Addresses.

Pittslield, July 5.-(SpeciaD.--A rainy
day has nearly spoiled Pittsield's CRANE
celebration, so extensively advertised
but part of the programme was carried
out in spite of the wetness. The feature
of the day was the exercises in Unior
hall. Hon Seth l.. Mlliken of Belfast
and Rev. J. M. Frost of Bangor, delivered
stirring and eloquent addresses to an au.
dience that packed Union hall to over.
flowing and fairly dubbed with enthusi.
assn.
Frank w. Hovey. Esq, presided and in
troduced the speakers. On the stage t.
the rear of the speakers were Is youne
ladies. dressed in white with red sashes
on which were painted the name of q
state which each represented. These
young ladies formed chorus which was
led by X. A. Conant representing Uncle
sam. and rendered patriotic songs with
much effect. In addition to this large
chOrus, three bands furnished music. The
hal! was decorated lastly and appropri
ately.
Everyone is enthusiastic over the ora
lions which were scholarly and patriotic
and the eloquent speakers We're at theil
pest. Had it not been for the rain. Pitts
iieid would have seen the greatest num-
her of people in her history. AS it was, q
large number of people were in town.
ne races are postponed till next Sat
ufday. and it is expected that the large
display of fireworks will then be given.

Canton. Ohio, July 5.-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Major Mckinley de-
cided to remain at home, this summer.
he received letters. today, from many
towns between Canton and Boston,
asking him on what day and hour he
expected to pass through them on his
way to Roxbury. where it was ru-
mored that he would spend a fortnight
with his cousin, Colonel Osborne. Sim
liar letters have been coming for sew
eral days. Had he gone to Roxbury,
as he thought of doing. his journey
would have been a series of Qvations
and his holiday Eip would have been
changed to a cd4tinuous and perhaps
burdensome speech making ard hand

Major Mckinley. said, today, that he
felt no need of rest and he thought he
could discharge the duties incident to
the campaign to better advantage here
than elsewhere. He has his books and
papers here and well trained clerical
staff. surrounded by friends who are
at his command, wherever their SER
vices are needed, who render him eff
cient aid in many ways.
People are coming in large numbers
to visit the Major. There Will be many
Numbered callers, this week. ana as
many next. Last week 1000 people from
out Of town called upon him in a single
day. He shook hands with all and the
ordeal did not seem to fatigue him.
Most of the delegates who come to
Canton carry the banners inscribed
with the words protection" "Heci
.ss,ot,nA Money - nd in -
eases the words Patriotism and
Prosperity" appear in lurid letters on
steamers cstaged. The mail. this
morning, brought Major Mckinley
another great pile Of letters congratu-
lating him upon the speech tn the com
mittee which officially notified him Of
the nomination.
The political friends OF the candidate
have felt with fervor upon the vigor
of his expression ond soundness of his
ideas. A number of distinguished liter

AS the light increased, slowly, for the

over the hills a sweet sound; rest

night. 1t was the music of two bells.

of sweet sadness with them-of those
