THE VENEZUELAN TREATY
Is Almost Ready for Signing and Trans.
mission
The Document Will Be Forwarded to
Venezuela b ythe Next Mail
Steamer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Senor An
drade, the Venezuelan minister, was in
conference with Secretary Olney for a
half hour today. 1t is understood that
the treaty between Venezuela and Great
Britain drawn up under the heads agreed
upon by Secretary Olney and Sir Julian
Pauncefote, Is almost completed and
probably will be signed and sent to
Venezuela for the action of the Venez-
uelan congress on the next mail steamer,
which leaves New York in a weeks time
While there are small points yet to be
arranged, none of them are of impor-
tance save that relating to the person.
mel of the commission. L was not in =
tended at first to name the arbitrators in
the treaty, but to provide generally for
the selection of them from among dis
tinguished jurists of the United States
and Great Britain, leaving to the SUI
preme courts of the two countries the
designation of the individuals, but sub
sequently it was found desirable to
name them. Such delay as has occurred
in completing the last stages of the ne
gotiations is due, it is gathered from
official sources, to the difficulty in select
ing the British arbitratorS From the
aspect of the matter today, however,
there is every reason to believe this will
be arranged in the course of a very
few days and that no other obstacle
of Importance will be encountered in
concluding the treaty.
Justice Brewer declined either to con-
firm or deny the report that he and Chief
Justice Fuller had been appointed on the
| Venezuelan arbitration commission. 1t
is understood the treaty is not yet sign
! ed, and no formal appointment of arbi-
traitors will be made until that action
has been performed, but it is said to be
practically certain that the chief JUS
tice and Brewer have been decided upon
as members.
The Venezuelan congress has been
| called to meet in regular session on the
18th of next month 1t may be readily
| advanced If necessary to meet any time
| between, that date and the first of Feb
| ruary, but as the treaty can hardly ar
rive at Caracas much before the middle
of the month the govvnment is not like
ly to take advantage Of the permissory
| law.
One of the greatest obstacles to the
ratlhcation by the senate of the general
arbitration treaty has been removed in
the arrangement by negotiation of a
| plan for the settlement of the Alaskan
! boundary question. In the course of a
day or two a treaty on the subject will
be laid before the senate for it's action
1t provides for the appointment of a
| committee % visit the country and fix
definitely the 10th meridian which. un-
der the treaty of cession of Alaska to the
| United States, forms the boundary be-
tween THAI territory and the British

A PIANO LAMP DISASTER

Fire in the apartments of William
Hamilton Henderson, on the fourth floor
of a four story brown stone building,
in Twenty-first street, early yesterday
morning, caused trifing damage to the
building, but Mr.. Henderson's valua-
BILE collections of rare prints and paint
ings, valued at $4,000. were totally de-
stroyed.
When Mr.. Henderson returned from
dinner party he found his place in flames.
A piano lamp that had been left burning
had exploded and started the blaze. The
firemen played havoc with the works of
art, and it was two hours before the fire
fire was extinguished.

and Henderson families for six genera
tions We're consumed, and large num-
Der of prints, engravings and Dresden

his loss that he was compelled to place

fire occurred is the same that was buile
by Commodore Vanderbilt, and was his
home for many years. Mr.. Henderson is

HOT DRY AIR FOR THE MUSCLES
Successful New Treatment for Rheu.
matism and Sprains

Experiments have just been concluded
at a hospital in this city with a new
method of treatment for chronic rheu-
matiSm and gout, Sprains and other dis
eases of the joints and muscles, which
have excited great interest in the medical
profession, both in England and Amer
lea.
The method is known as the Taller
man. Sheffield treatment, by the local
application of superheated dry air.
The effect of the treatment is to give
to the patient in his own house or in a
hospital more beneficial effects and in a
much more permanent form than those
obtained by visiting various hot
springs ana other resorts, which are ac-
cessible only to the rich.
The apparatus consists of copper
cylinder of varying size, according to the
part of the body to be treated. It's ends
are covered with air tight cloth, through
which the limb to be treated passes. The
limb rests on an asbestos frame inside
the cylinder which does away with all
danger of scorching by the hot metal.
The cylinder rests on d frame under
which is a row of gas jets and an ar
rangement of valves and stop cocks
provides for drawing off every particle
of moisture in the air resulting from
perspiration.
The most remarkable feature Of the
apparatus is that 1t enables the patlent
to bear temperature of $50 to 300 de-
grees. which, If the air were moist,
would almost consume the limb. Not
only is there no scalding, but the sensa-
ton is positively a pleasant one, and
patients who have been racked with
pain for months have been known to fall
into a refreshing sleep while undergo
ing the treatment
Mr.. Tallerman's method was tested
thoroughly for two years in st. Bar
tholomew's hospital. the Northwest
London hospital, Charing Cross hospital
and ST. Mary's hospital in London. II
was officially adopted by them about
two months ago, and has been recon-
mended as the best treatment for joint
affections by Prof. w. j. Walsham OF
ST. Bartholomew hospital, who de-
clares that he has substituted it for
methods of treatment which he had
been using for fourteen years.

( They can defeat it by direct votes

n1ents destructive of any hopeful scheme
for an international agreement. Such
Z result, Mr.. President, l VIII not an
ticipate, but will ask, IN the public IN
terest, for the unanimous adoption OF
sthe bill as it is now proposed Tor the
consideration and discussion of the SEN
ate.
Mr.. Chandler appealed to Mr.. Cannon
to withdraw his amendment, which seeks
to have the United States take the ini-
tiative and entire execution of the con-
ference. The countries of the western
hemisphere, with the possible exception
of Canada, doubtless favored bimetal-
lism, and it was toward the great nations
of Europe that friends of the conference
must look for cooperation Mr. Chan-
dler appealed also to Mr.. Stewart not
to precipitate a general free coinage is
sue by urging his amendment directing
the mints to be opened for free and un-
limited coinage within one montn aItef
the failure of the conference.
Mr.. Stewart spoke of the futility of in
terrational conference. He opposed in
ternational money, saying il was not
necessary to commerce. He did not be-
lieve in going to Europe, to the creditor
nations, to find out what money we
should use. 1t was for the United States
to make its own determination as TO lts
money standards.
Hoar of Massachusetts, Republican,
interjected question, prefacing it with
the remark that he acquiesced With some
of the views Stewart had expressed, as
to the desirability of fixing our own
standards.
But" oueried Hoar. after we had
IL; tin q
good thing to persuade other nations
to do the same?"
II think rot l think it would be a
very bad thing" responded Mr. Stew
art
There we differ" added Hoar.
Stewart went on to say it would be
we'll to let Europe stick to gold. He clos
ed with the statement that he would not
oppose the bill although he believed 1t
placed the United States in the humil-
iating position of supplicating the crown
ed heads of Europe.
Bacon offered an amendment author
izing the president to call, in his dlscre-
ton, such international conference to as
semble at such point rs may be agreed
upon.
Mr.. Chandler said that while he felt
the amendment was unnecessary, he was
willing to have it adopted.
Stewart then resumed, denouncing the
proposed conference as fake" and
''pantomime.
You are deceiving the people he de-
clared after reciting many of the pub
lie evils.
Hoar promptly rose to q question OF
order and with mock gravity said that
as the word you" meant the vice pres
ident, it was out of order to attribute
to that officer all these disagreeable
things. There was general laugh in
which the vice president joined. and
Stewart said his you would be ad-
dressed to Eoar who represented the
general tendency to arraign people as
anarchists, etc.
At the close of Stewards speech Chan
dler said he hoped to pass the bill today.

kota, suggested, however, that he de-
sired to speak on the measure. II was

IN COMMITTEE.
Comptroller Eckels Presents His Views
on Banking Law.


WASHINGTON Jan. 2s.-Controller
Eckels today gave his views upon the
financial condition of the country to
the house committee on banking and
currency. Several bills had been re-
ferred to Eckels for his Judgment, and
he analyzed them While there was no
doubt a nAasSitY for a change in the
governments financial system, Eckels
said the public was disposed to attrib
ute too much of the existing troubles
to the lack of monetary legislation.
OVer-trade, production and eX
traVa gance in private and public eX~
penditures, partly induced by specula-
ton, were largely responsible for the
country's business difficulties. The day
had passed when the volume of money
was its most important factor. I'M
proved credit was more essential. The
first essential was stability in the public
credit. The apparent reluctance of the
people OF the United States to redeem
their public Obligations was the chief
cause of dfstrust
Current redemption demand obliga-
tons of the government was the chief
problem of the treasury. The funding
and cancellation of these obligations
so that the maintenance of the gold re-
serve was no longer necessary, was d
most desirable policy. Whether it was
the most practical was another question.
So far as a contraction of the currency
was concerned. Eckels did not think ii
would follow the gradual retirement Of
the greenbacks. provided credit was rea-
sonably stable. The banks would sup
ply the needed currency, or gold would
come from abroad. The pursuance of
Secretary McCullough's policy would
have disposed Of the question. Eckels
added: The business man who con-
stantly redeems his notes without re-
firing them and keeps them out con-
stantly will come to a settling day that
will break him. The chief feature OF
the banking bill would be to take from
the government the issue Of credit notes
The banks can do this" Banks con-
Quoted on pratical banking principles
insted of speculative enterprises, Eckels
said, could satisfy the currency needs
of business. Before the war the banks
always furnished sufficient gold for bust

Steps Taken Looking Toward the Re-
opening of the Case in Congress.
Committee Action.

WASHINGTON Jan. 2S.-A step to-
ward reopening the Pacific railroad
legislation in congress was taken by the
subcommittee of the house committee
on Pacific railroads, which was appoint
ed to consider the bill for commission
to settle the Indebtedness of the roads
to the government 1t was decided to
recommend to the full committee the
full bill which was reported in the SEN
ate by Senator Gear with amendments
which is practically Mr.. Harrison's
plan, and the bill Will be reported to the
house if it is agreed upon by the full
committee if it is agreed upon at the
meeting which Chairman Powers today
called for next Saturday
The committee provided in the bill is
to consist of the secretaries of the treas
ury and interior and the attorney gen
eral and their successors in office. The
commission is to be empowered to take
sworn testimony and summon persons
and papers and in any settlement ii
makes must reserve to congress the
right to regulate passenger rates.
Two amendments were made by the
subcommittee, one requiring the com
mission to report to congress one year
after the passage of the bill, the other
providing that the act shall be subject
to amendment or repeal at any time
shall not impair any rights now existing
in favor of the United States or inter
fere with or supersede any pending pro-
ceedings in behalf of the United States
or any other that the president may elect
to prosecute.
The second amendment was proposed
by Representative Paterson of Tennes-
see. Representative Hubbard of Mis-
sissippi offered as substitute bill 70,
a separate settlement of the Sioux City
and Pacific debts.
The Republican steering committee
today decided to make an effort to Sc
cure consideration during the present
session of the Gear Pacific railroad
commission bill and appointed senators
Aldrich and Davis a sub committee tc
