Origin OF Newspaper Extras.

Doubtless few know that the New York
journal of Commerce originated what is
popularity known as newspaper extra.
When this occurred times were trouble
some in Europe, and the great revolution
of 1880 was approaching. Naturally
America was anxious for early news, and
all the newspapers of New York equipped
small boats that cruised about the harbor,
waylaying the large packet vessels arriv-
inpAfrom abroad to get the tidings.
The Journal of Commerce conceived the
plan of sending out small schooner to
intercept the packets two or three days
ahead of their arrival. The originators of
the plan were laughed at, and told that ii
would in the end ruin them. Results
proved otherwise, however, and Wien the
semaphoric telegraph announced their
schooner in the offng, and later, coming
up the bay, tho crowd would gather
around the office of the paper. They had
to wait until the extra evening edition
was ready, and then one of the partners
would sometimes read the news aloud to
hundreds OF citizens, while thousands of
copies were sold This schooner was the
first American news boat of any size

THE COMMISSIONS REPORT.

The report Of the Venzucla commission
a-to the labor of investigation and the
conclusions it had reached, as il appears,
ut about the time the treaty of arbitration
was fayorably under way, is highly inter
csting, apart from the undoubtedly valu-
able fund of information that it makes
available In better shape than exists any
where else for the reason that the report
entirely and again justifcs the original
demand Of Venezuela for arbitration and
the position taken by President Cleveland
IN asserting principle powerful enough
to command hearing from Great Britain
Whether as earnest investigation into
new sources as had already been made
into the mass of material collected before
the announcement of the arbitration
treaty summarily concluded the labors of
the commission would have resulted i'm
anything decisive as to the boundary line
that Is the theme of the dispute, is of
little consequence now. The arbitration
board will have all the accumulated
material Of the commission at their COM
mand and doubtless will avail themselves
Of II. The point Of chief interest and
significance is that with all information
records, maps, treaties and documents Of
svcry sort and kind that have been re-
sorted 10 Ivy both Great Britain and Ven.
ezucla, from time to time during the
many years Of the controversy, the com
mission was unable 10 find any evidence

Investigator The sitting Of tho evidence

ways as 10 seems. resulted in nothing

word from no s0-cnllcd authorities that

Bishop Bonacum Dissatisfied With
Metropolitan Court Decision.
Father Titzgerald's Civil Suit Also De-
clded Against the Bishop.

Lincoln, Ncb, March THE time set
by the metropolitan court OF Dubuque for
Bishop Bonacum 10 pay the $500 costs in
the suit with his priests has expired. In
stead of paying the bishop ignores the
penalties and appeals again to Mgr
Martinclli and Rome The bishops brief
gives these four reasons why the action
of the metropolitan court at Dubuque
should be set aside:
I. The proceedings were null and void
from the beginning.
.. IL was an appellate court and should
not accept testimony.
3. The several principal findings were
based on false assumption Of facts
I. The law was interpreted and applied
falsely.
From Mgr. Martinelli the case will
probably go 20 Rome. The civil suit
against Father Fitzgerald at 1ocumsoh
last saturday went against the bishop.
