venenue,a Agreement Reached.


Washington. Jan. 1.-THE last
step aside from the ratification Of
the treaty by congress in the Venez-
uelan arbitration agreement between
the United States and Great Britain,
has been completed by the formal
assent OF King Oscar of Sweden to
the clause of the arbitration consen-
tion which makes him the final arbi-
traitor in case the other members OF
the tribunal are unsble to agree.
The proposition for general arbitra-
tion treaty between the United
States and Great Britain is now an
accomplished fact. Salisbury has
assented to the last suggestion from
this side, and now nothing remains
but the attachment of the formal
signature of Secretary Olney and
Minister Pauncefote. These sigma
lures will be affixed today. OF
course the treaty. unlike the
Venezuelan sgreement. must be sub
mitted to the United States senate
for approval.
1ke general arbitration treaty and
. letter from the president urging
lis ratification was sent to the senate
this afternoon. They will be laid
before the senate in executive session
and not made public for the present
ut least.

PLEA OF THE coLoREp MEN,
They Ask Mckinley to Refer in His Mes
sage to Mob Law South

soSC W ~'AoD La" SOuth
Cleveland. Jan. Ex-senator Redfleld
Proctor, of Vermont, was the most
prominent arrival at the office of Ma
tional Chairman Hanna Saturday. He
remained in consultation with Hanna for
some time. Charles G. Dawes, of Chi
cago, a memeber of the Republican ma
tional executive committee, also ar
rived and called upon the president
elect.
A conference Of great Importance to
the colored people of the United States,
and which will undoubtedly attract ma
tional attention, was held between rep
resentatives of the colored people and
President-Elect Mckinley.
The conference was IN pursuance of
action taken at large and enthusiastic
assemblage of colored Republicans held
here under the auspices of the Western
reserve Republican club. The meeting
OF the club was marked by great enthus-
1asm for the principles of the Republic
an party and the incoming national ad-
ministration. A resolution was adopted
providing for the appointment of a
committee of three to wait upon Pres
ident-Elect Mckinley to urge upon him

The committee was cordially received
by the president-elect. After the mat
ter had been carefully discussed Major
Mckinley said he was very glad the
gentlemen had called, and that he be-
lieved their request to be a proper one
for consideration.

THOSE WHO CLAIM TO KNOW.
The Composition of Mckinley's Cabinet
Have This TO Saw.

Cleveland, Jan. II. - The opinion
among those who claim to know is
that Senator Sherman will be offered
and will accept the secretaryship of
state in McKinley's cabinet, and that
Hanna will not be one of the cabinet
advisors of the next president. 1t is
believed to be certain that Hanna will
be appointed as the successor of Sher-
man in the senate, a place which he
very much prefers to any portfolio
which the president-elect could offer
him.
Regarding the selection Of Cornelius
n. Bliss, of New York. for secretary of
navy. it is saidsthat Bliss has been Of
fered the place. but that he deferred
his acceptance until he could ascertain
whether he could so arrange his busi-
ness affairs as to permit Of his taking
the place. General Alger. of Michigan. is
counted as certain to be the secretary
of war.

tone of command: Your men must not

United States troops to move through
the city on Sunday, no matter what the
local ordinace, had been raised during
the discussion regarding the Sunday

city had decided in favor of the United

as one of the reasons why so many mil

in an appearance to welcoming the visiting

given breakfast at one of the leading
hotels of the city. They are now quar-
tered at Madison Square garden. where
