Other with Cane and Umbrella.
Atlanta, Ga, June 20.-CoL L. N. Tram
nell, chairman Of the state raiIrad COM
mission, and L. S. Mumford of Barlow
county engaged in personal difficulty in
the lobby OF the Kimball house this af-
ternoon Col Trammell used a walking
stick and Mr.. Mumford welded a tightly
wrapped umbrella in lively fashion.
Neither gentleman was much hurt how
ever, and although the affray created a
great sensation about the hotel for d short
time after It was over the participants
went, they. ways as If nothing had hap
pened, and there is not likely to be any
further consequences Of the fight.
The difficulty arose over some litigation
IN which Col Trammell and Mr. Mum
ford are interested parties. This after
noon shortly after O'clock Col. Trammell
and engaged him In conversation. No
body suspected that a. difficulty was i'm
pending until Col. Trammell was heard to
explain to the other: you are a con-
founded scoundrel then SIR"
In an instant Mr. Mumford replied to
this by striking at Col. Trammeil with
his fst, and the chairman OF the railroad
commission came back at him with his
cane, landing a sounding ,whack across
his shoulders. To meet artillery with ar
tllery, Mr.. Mumford brought up his ur1-
brella and before by-standers could inter-
fere. the two gentlemen were going at
each other with cane and umbrella In
melodramatic style.
John w. Aiken Of Cartersville. who was
nearest, ran up and separated them. and
In few minutes the beligerents had
cooled down and were ready to 10 their
way without attempting to renew the af-
fray Col. Trammell left a few minutes
after the trouble on the Western and
Atlantic train for his home in Dalton
getting out or town before any of the
newspaper reporters could interview him.
Mr.. Mumford also left for home at the
same time.

The Arbitration Negotiations Pro-
ceeding Satisfactorily.
Washington. June 20.-secretary Olney
and Mr.. Andrade the Venezuelan minis
ter, are stlll officially ignorant Of the re-
ported invasion OF British Guiana by Ven
ezuelan police. The matter is one between
Great Britain and Venezuela, and this
government has no interest In the case,
excepting so far as IL involves the boun-
dary dispute which the Venezuelan com
mission Is now investigating. The denial
OF the foreign office that there had been
any conflict or In fact, any trouble what
ever, In the disputed territory between
Venezuelan police and British subjects,
seems to dispose OF the latest phase OF tho
matter and the negotiations now proceed
ing towards an arbitration agreement he
tween Great Britain and the United States
Will not be interrupted.
Sir Julian Pauncefote the British am
bassador, had an interview this morning
with Secretary Oney. Sir Julian has In
formed Mr.. Andrade that he viii receive
any proposal concerning the boundary
dispute which Venezuela may desire to
make the British government II Is prob
able that some agreement Will be reached
by Sir Julian and Mr.. olney IN a short
time and their conference to-day probably
had reference to that subject. The nego-
uations toward an understanding between
the subject of arbitration OF all disputes
in which the two countries may be in
VolVed, are understood to be progressing
favorably, but what effect such an agree
ment will have in the Venezuelan boun-
dary Is matter OF conjecture.
