VENEZUELAN TREATY.

Report, That 1t Is Acceptable Omclally
Confirmed.
Washington, Dec. 3O.-There is official
confirmation of the statement that the
Venezuelan arbitration treaty is not
only acceptable to President CresDo
and his constitutional advisers. but that
it will be equally acceptable to the Ven
ezuelan congress when it convenes in
February next. The weight of public
opinion is all in favor of the trea tv. and
it has encountered but little opposition
from leading Venezuelans. The obisc-
tion that Venezuela will have no voice
in selecting the umpires to represent
the republic is met by the counter ar.
gument that Venezuela originally asked
the United States more than two wears
ago to use it's goods Offices with Eng
land to secure treaty whereby the ter
ritory in dispute might l,e submitted to
tribunal of arbitration. The United
States did this. and the protocol agreed
upon by Secretary Olney and Lord
Salisbury gives this country the right
to name the umpires for Venezuela.
When the protocol is signed by Sir
Julian Pauncefote and Senor Andrade.
the representatives of Great Britain
and Venezuela, diplomatic relations be-
tween Venezuela and Great Britain will
be again resumed. &r-s4 * ,EI"rE ~ 4*

National Prohibition Party Requests Mrs.
i, l. s.S.f Cougar to Get Out. tzs
Chicago, Jan. 2.-Helen NJ. Cougar,
the pioneer champion of prohibition
and universal suffrage, is a woman with
out party. At the meeting of the cen
trail committee of the national party
Friday at the Sherman house resolu-
ton was adopted reciting that since
Mrs. Cougar, who was member of the
committee, had signitied her intention
to support candidate for president in
1890 who might not be the nominee of
the national party, her resignation
would be accepted. The action which
caused the adoption of the resolution
was Mrs. Cougars objection to mo-
ton which had been presented that the
members of the central and executive
committees should pledge themselves to
oppose any compromising or en-
tangling alliances with other political
parties,' and she told the COMMITTEES
that it "Mr. Bryan's party" could be in.
duced to incorporate temperance
plank in its platform she, wanted to be
free to support it, and that she would
vote against any proposal to bind ner
to support the nominee of the national
party. E7.-t ." ."
The motion failed to carry, but the
committee considered her words trea-
sonable enough to warrant her expul-
sion from the councils of the party.
During the debate Mrs. Cougar said
that the temperance question was no
longer the paramount issue, and that if
she had had a vote in November she
was not sure that she would not have
supported Mr.. Bryan. The fight lasted
for more than three hours, and when
the motion was tabled by close vote
Mr.. Thomas Immediately offered the
resolutions expelling Mrs. Cougar. st

limits. The Aliens were both over 70
years old. They kept boa riding house and
had five boarders in all. At seven o'clock
Thursday night the Aliens and their
boarders sat down to supper in their
dining groom. Flanagan was in an ad-
joining room. He had been drinking,
but the family did not know he was
drunk. He was called two or three
times, and finally he appeared at the
door leading from his room into the
dining-room, and without word began
firing pistol at the people seated at
the table. The first shot struck old Mrs.
Allen and she fell over fatally wounded.
The next shot hit the aged husband and
he dropped to the floor. The boardc,s
were now springing from their seats to
escape. Just as Miss Ruth Slack rose
a bullet struck her in the head and she
fell apparently dead.% ar ... ,.....>
Atlanta, Ca, J an. .2.-Information has
been received here that party of
Greene and DeKalb county men will at
tack the county Jail. They want to get
Edward Flanagan and lynch him for
the murders which he committed Thurs
day night near Decatur. The county
changed sheriffs Friday, and Sheriff
Nelms placed ten extra men on duty.
He has also notified the police and mil
itary that he will call upon them if nec-
essary. Nelms is a well-kpown fighter
ard an attempt to lynch his prisoner
would be disastrous to the attacking
party. If mob should come to the city
from the country it would be hard for
them to find a leader desperate enough
to make the attack on the prison.
The Greene county reople are in
censed because one of Flanagan's VIC
Tins, Miss Ruth Slack, lived there and
was at Decatur on visit. The Aliens
have lived in DeKalb county for years
and. their neighbors are enraged.
Grandfather Allen, who was knocked in
the head and supposed to be dead, re-
covered consciousness Friday morning
and will probably recover. Miss Slack
is not dead, but she is paralyzed and un-
conscious, and the doctors say that she
cannot possibly recover. Grandmother
Allen was buried Friday. ~ -. .
Flanagan sent for another lawyer
Thursday, w. C. Glenn, accompanying
his message with check for $500. It
turns out that Flanagan has consider
able ready money in bank and he had
more than $4,000 in cash in his pockets
when he was brought into the Jail. The
defense will be insanity. o
