THE SUPREME COURT AGREES
Crespo and His Cabinet Signify Their
Acceptance
Iyiro Oscar Has Not Yet Formally
Consented to Serve, But
Will Do So.

NEW YORK, Jan. PA dispatch
Melville w. Fuller, chief justice of the
supreme court, and Justice Brewer, as
sociate justice, have been named as
commissioners TO serve on the arbitra-
ton tribunal appointed to determine the
boundary line between Venezuela and
British Guiana.
The supreme court at a formal meet
ing has officially agreed upon these Sc
lections The nomination of Chief JUS
tice Fuller was made subject to the ap-
proval of Venezuela as is provided by
the amendment to the original agree
ment President Crespo and his cab
met have signified their acceptance Of
Mr. Fuller. During the final work on
the treaty under which arbitration will
be conducted it was decided to insert
the names of the commissioners, and
that the work of eXpediting organiza-
ton and the transaction of business
might be hastened.
The second article of the agreement
provides that two members of the tri-
bunal shall be named by the judges of
the supreme court of the United States
and two members by the British high
court of justice A clause provides that
judges of either nominating court may
be selected as commissioners. The su-
preme court was requested to designate
its nominees in advance of the conclu-
sion of the treaty and before its sub
mission to the Venezuelan congress.
Chief Justice Fuller and Associate Just
ice Brewer were named by their judi
cial colleagues.
While the formal assent of King Os-
car to serve as the fifth arbitrator has
not been given, it is understood that an
intimation has been received that he
will accept. All g.dications point to the
! nomination by the British high'court OF
Sir Charles Russell and Sir Franklin
| Lockwood as the two members to be
chosen by that body to complete the tri-
| bunal
The actual signing of the treaty will
occur within a few days. The necessity
for haste has been averted by the fact
that special session of the Venezuelan
| congress was rot called. That body will
not convene until February 20. The next
steamer for La Guayra will sail Feb
ruary and will take the treaty to Ca
| racaS.

AMERICAN BEAUTY DECORATION

givers of the early winter season or
dered, in fiat obong arrangement, bas-
ket of these American beauties in which
the roses mustered 300 strong-the basket
being a yard and a half in length. The
shallow basket edge was hidden by an
outer row of the blossoms hanging their
heads lightly against the snowy damaslx
table cloth. Six high standing vases
held punches of roses of the same spe-
cies at regular intervals along the table.
Very pretty was the basketful of roses.
The introduction of butterflies among
floral decorations is a novel fashion.
Large wooden boxes of these gauZy
winged insects, in careful condition of
preservation, are shown on demand, and
when ordered are placed on very fine
wires, which give the effect of live in
sect just about to flutter, which is most
decorative and attractive. The butter
flies are imported from Paris, whence
came the custom of employing them for
additional decoration.

IN COMMITTEE
Arbitration Treaty Is Considered, but
No Conclusion Reached

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-The senate
committee on foreign relations had the
arbitration treaty under consideration
an hour and a half today, but failed to
reach a conclusion. The committee ad-
Journed to meet Saturday, when it is
hoped the senate will not be in session
and the committee can give the entire
day to the treaty. There is a growing
feeling in the senate that the treaty
should be reported either favorably or
otherwise, and the committee is disposed
to yield to the pressure to the extent of
giving all possible time to the subject.
The meeting today was attended by all
the members. The discussion was earn
est.
The necessity of guarding the treaty
so as to prevent encroachment. under
any preteXt whatever, on the Monroe
doctrine was again the principal topic,
q special point Of controversy being the
feasibility CT preventing such encroach-
ment by amendment. The point was un.'
settled when the committee adjourned.
but belief was expressed that conclu-
sion might be reached Saturday.
An amendment was offered which it is
believed will fully protect all the rights
of the United States under the Monroe
doctrine and also American rights in
connection with the Nicaragua canal
and the Clayton Bulwer treaty, but its
terms were not made public.
Another an0endment offered covers the
feature of providing for the selection of
King Oscar of Sweden and Norway as
umpire. This provision of the treaty
is receiving very careful scrutiny, and
it now seems quite probable that an
amendment will be adopted changing
the provision. 1t is possible that the
clause may be stricken out or that the
arbitration committee may be empower
ed to chose its own umpire whenever
occasion arises where a decdiLg vote
may be necessary. Members of the COM
mittee who critcise this portion of the
treaty say that they find that the re-
lationship between Great Britain and
Sweden Is very close one. and that they
have also discovered that an alliance ex-
lists between Great Britain and France,
in which the two former countries agree
to protect the Scandinavian kingdom by
force of arms if such occasion requires
such display on their part. This agree
ment they consider shows a rela tionship
too close to justify the United States in
accepting the ruler of one of the coun-
tries to the alliance as arbiter in a dis
pute with one or the other parties to it.

Mr.. AURAV|EFF'S MISSION
Emphasizes Cordiality of Russo
French Entente
EUROPE IS WELL PLEASED
With Premise Of q Strengthened Peace
Prospect
The New Russian Minister Of Foreign
Affairs Considered Strong
Friend of Peace
Associated Press Special Wire


NEW YORK, Jan. 27-A st. Peters
burg dispatch to the Herald says:
THE Novoe Vremya says that Count
Muravieff's visit to Paris is demonstra-
tive in character and a great novelty in
a diplomatic way, its aim being to put an
end to recent rumors of GOODNESS between
France and Russia. Count Muravieff
will probably regard his visit to Paris
to reassure the French of Russia's cor
dial intentions in the light of pleasant
official task.
For years this new minister of foreign
affairs in the czar's government has been
regarded as a friend of the big European
republic. and it is known that he will
exert himself to the utmost to preserve
the excellent understanding which eN-
lists between France and his own coun-
try.
ION the other hand Europe feels that
if France has warm friend in the new
minister, the cause of peace has little
to fear from him. His emperor who after
all conducts the foreign affairs of his vast
possessions, is firm in his determination
to avert war, and the new minister,
whatever his personal feelings, will give
imperial policy.
The appointment of Count Muravieff
is generally credited to the influence of
the Dowager Empress of Russia, and
this fact, together with his known
friendly relations with the court at Co.
penhagen, where he was stationed for
several years, has led German papers
to declare that he will oppose the inter-
ests of their country. There is no ground
for this statement, however, beyond that
already stated-hs popularity with the
royal family at Denmark. The count
is 81 years of age and in the full matur-
ity of his powers. He knows Paris and
Berlin thoroughly. says the Paris Temps,
having resided in those capitals as secre-
tary and councillor of the embassy. In
Vienna he is regarded as strong friend
of peace. perfectly correct as a diplo-
matist and very we'll disposed toward
Austria Hungary, passably alive to Ger
many, little inclined to flrt with Eng
land. but bent upon seeking with her
the foundations of serious accord and
especially absolutely inclined to cul-
tivate the Franco Russian entente cor
dale. This portrait, the Temps says,
is guaranteed by good judges"

THE LOVERS QUARREL.

formerly Of Detroit, Mich. and Janos
Rigo, the Hungarian gypsy musician.
who recently eloped with her, have
quarrellad Violently The screams Of
rage from the Princess de Chimay and
the forcibie language of Rigo disturbed
the residents Of the hotel where they
were stopping, and they complained
to the landlord because of the noise oc-
casiOned by these outbursts of passion.
At the end of one of thege quarrels
the Princess de Chimay packed her
trunk and quilted the hotel, leaving at
once for Monte Carlo. She paid her
own bill, but left RIGGS unsettled. Rieo

He thought this bill less drastic than the
one which passed the last house. In
conclusion, he said the bill did not go as
far as he would like to go, because he
believed the unemployed in this country
today constituted the greatest danger to
the republic.
Bartholdt (Rep) of Missouri followed
in favor of the rejection of the report
and instruction to the eonferees to in
sist upon certain notifications in the
bill. As one of the conferees, he said
he refused to sign the report because it
would separate husband and wife, pa
rent and child. and further because it
not only excluded illiterates. but all
those who could not read and write the
language of their native or resident land.
Reason and not prejudice and passion,
he trusted, would prevail in the consid-
Grafton of this subject.
The report was adopted-1S1 to 11S.

me to state that heretofore your coun-

consideration By the authorities Of this

shown that a very large proportion OF

being granted faVoTS or privileges of
any kind, because they do not appear to
have any respect for our laws, but set
them t defiance.
When the ire of the American people

this question will be settled in sum
