Strike on the Docks Remains Practically
Unchanged.

Buffalo, n. Y, May 9.-The strike is
practically unchanged. All efforts made
to bring about a settlement have been
baked by the absolute refusal of the
strikers to consider any propositions
that did not include the abrogation Of
Contractor Corners contract, and the
refusal Of the Lake Carriers associa-
ton to cancel the contract. Bishop
Quigley had been asked and had con-
sented to receive a delegation from the
different interests affected by the strike,
and at $50 a. m. yesterday the state
board of mediation and arbitration, to-
gether with Harvey D. Goulder, attor-
ney for the Lake Carriers association;
Captain Thomas Wilson, James Corri-
gan and H. Coulby, of Cleveland, mem
bers of the Lake Carriers association,

Transit company, waited upon him at his
residence The bishop was asked to in
tercede with the men and advise them
to accept the terms offered by the con-
tractor
A delegation from the Grain Shovel
ers' union, headed by President McMa-
hon, it was learned, had been to the
bishops residence earlier in the morn
ing. The conference lasted until noon.
All but Bishop Quigley refused to make
any statement concerning what had
taken place. In reply to question the
bishop said
Nothing but the fundamental princi-
pies of the situation were discussed. We
did not go to details. have no PROPOSE

and high standing in his older years
Last week. Mr.. Goebel was in Louis

Goebel would not be caught dead in and
vents his spleen in card, which that
concern haunts with great glee, In
which the general exclaims, like they
do In OHIO when confronted with per-
sonal charge, you're another Alas
and alack that we have fallen into such
evil and degenerate times. Gen. Duke
will have to be reduced 10 the ranks.
Gen. Dukes rhodomantade didn't
scare MIR. Goebel worth a cent. He is
handicapped, Of course, from entering
into a personal row at present. but in
his speech the same night that the
generals card appeared, he spoke OF
the general as tiger, aud correcting
himself substituted cur, proceeding
then to give him an even worse dose
that ever. Mr.. Goebel CONSTITUTES Gen.
Dukes card as personal threat, and an
attempt to run him out OF Louisville,
and for that reason he will return this
week aud defy his traducers, whose
is so apparent that it is max

The Venezuela Award.

The court OF arbitration that has

possessions OF those nations In South
America has concluded It's work. reach
Ing unanimous conclusion and thus
dispensing with the necessity OF call.

to render n decision In the event OF a
disagreement by the arbltrators. It
could have hardly been expected that
this tribunal. though made up Of most
eminent and upright Jurists, would
reach a verdict wholly satisfactory TO
both litlgants. as one or the other or
both must OF necessity be forced TO
surrender some firmly held traditions.
The conclusion reached, which Is some
what In the nature OF a compromise.
seems to be reasonably satisfactory to
the parties I'm interest, and IL they are
satisfied those on the outside have no
reason TO complain. Great Britain
gives up something Venezuela yields at
points. At all events. Great Britain
gets a little less than some OF her
statesmen have claimed, and Venezue-
Ia retains more than she would have
saved IL she had decided to submit her
case to settlement by the sword.
The British claim to the southeastern
side Of the mouth OF the Orinoco river
Is sustained. and the whole coast up 10
that point is given to her. though the

pay him salary for the pearls of wis

CLEANS OF hope that radiate from him.
This, however, does not keep the good
man from preaching just as earnestly
and praying just as fervently for the
salvation of his hearers as II they were
all milllonalres and he was receiving
n salary OF $4,000 year. In add
ton 10 preaching for nothing. he rings
the church bell. sweeps out the sanctu-
airy, provides the fuel necessary to
warm the edfce and sincerely cries
aloud. Whoever viii may come" Such
earnestness as Is shown by this Ne
braska preacher and by the English
clergyman who recently donned over
alls and blouse and painted his church
because the congregation could not af-
ford TO hire n painter confounds the
skeptics aud pessimlsts. who declare
that there Is no vitality and no deyo-
