Baron Courcon as Arbitrator.

Washington, April 19.-The name of
Baron Courceil, the eminent French
jurist and diplomat, at present French
ambassador to Great Britain, will prob
ably be suggested as the fifth, or final
arbitrator on the court of arbitration
between Venezuela and Great Britain.
The treaty of arbitration recently rati-
fed by these two governments pro-
vides that the fifth arbitrator shall be
chosen by the four designated to repre-
sent the two countries, and in the event
of their inability to agree on a fifth
then King Oscar, of Norway and Swe-
den, is to name the final arbitrator.
There appears to be little doubt, how
ever that the four arbitrators will
reach an agreement.

well ventilated cell. At the moment

pardoned as a special favor of the
crown. Colonel Bacallao is similarly
situated, and the two officers have
a servant to attend upon them. They
have comfortable beds, and good meals
sent in daily from a restaurant nearby.
Neither General Rivera nor Colonel
Bacalloa has any special complaint to
make. The latter also Is hopeful Of
special pardon.
The correspondent also saw Ona
Melton and Alfred Laborde, of the
Competitors crew. They are all doing
well.

Kentucky,s SenntorlnI SnarI.

Frankfort KY, April 19.-Dr Hunt
er, the senatorial candidate, who on
Saturday was indicted on charge of
conspiracy to bribe declines to discuss
the recent developments or to say
what are his plans. Many of his
friends are urging him to demand an
immediate trial, and that he stay in
the race at least until he is indicated,
as they do not believe there Is any
danger that the indictment will stand
the test of scrutiny. Others, however,
declare that any jury that might be
secured in Franklin county would be
prejudiced against Hunter, and that
he should let the matter go over until
September. There is still a good deal
of talk about a new caucus, but Hunt
ers personal friends are not among
those who are indulging in it.

MIR ANGELES MISSION.
Our Minister to Turkey Has Special
Duty to Perform.
THE SULTAN MUST SETTLE UP

The Claims for Indemnity Brought by
American Citizens and American
Missionaries - President Mckinley
Tired OF DawdIing Negotiations.
Ann Arbor Mich. April 19.-It has
come to be understood in this city
that the appointment of DR.. James B.
Angel as minister plenipotentiary and
envoy extraordinary to Turkey has a
considerable greater Significance than
usually attaches to the selection of
representatives from this to foreign
governments.
If the information of his intimate
friends and associates in the faculty
of the University of Michigan, of which
he is president, be correct, DR.. Angel
will go to the Turkish capital with
special mission to perform, and that
mission the vigorous prosecution of the
claims for indemnity brought by Amer
lean citizens and American mission
aries against the sultan's government.
The appointment is supposed here to
mean that President McKinley's ad-
mipistration intends to bring to
speedy end the dwadling negotiations
that have been dragging through many
months with reference to the payment
of damages for the destruction of lives
and property of American citizens.
