BoND-BLAINE TREATY MATTER
Nothing Further Than Published
Known at Ottawa.
lusive Wire from The Associated Press.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Ottawa, Ontario, Aug. 24.-Nothing is
known here regarding the arrangements
arrived at between Premier Bond of
Newfoundland and the Imperial govern
ment as to the Bond-Blaine treaty, be-
yond what has appeared in the press
The late government opposed the rati-
fcation of the treaty and the present
government allowed the matter to
stand in the same shape.
But there was no legitimate ground
for interference in the first instance
and there is therefore no surprise here
at the report that Sir Robert Bond
has now been permitted to renew his
negotiations for the ratifications of the
treaty.
The matter was no doubt talked over
with Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian
premier, in London, but the subject has
not come before the government here
in any way,

THEY HAD entered by the West
SiXty-third street gate at o'clock
/ and although they had now been
two hours in the park, they had not
wandered very far. There was a pa
thos of contrast between these two
shabby old people, with their awkward
paper bundles, and the bright grass and
foliage, the volatile squirrels canter-
ing over the lawns, the alert SYM
metries of the birds! There was such
a mocking difference between the out
side garb of nature and human nature!
The decrepit old man laborously
arose from the bench upon which they
hae been sitting, and now, with his
bundle under his arm, stood chewing a
blade of grass, staring steadily but in
curiously at his boots. The woman
watched a butterfly which rested with
spread wings on a honeysuckle bush
hard by.
Shall we be moving on, Peggy?" the
man asked at last. On the meadow
across the path was a gray rock, with
plenty of tall, uncut grass growing
about the base. Without answering,
the woman got up from the bench,
crossed to the rock, seated herself, and
pulling a handful of grass busted her
shabby shoes and skirt.
Peggy" said the old man, feebly re-
proachful, you'll take a chill that'n

II don't care. 'Twon't carry me off

Come here. Jim, an I'll dust your boots,

He obeyed and, sitting down beside
her. allowed her to dust him.
Laws! An a new spot o. bacon fat
on your coat that I cleaned so careful
like this mornin'!"
An awkward silence fell between
them for the next minute-between
these two who for more than fifty
years had felt no constraint in each
others presence. 1t was the man.
strangely enough, who broke the ST.
lence.
Wen miss the old place, Peggy" he
said, simply.
The "old place" was a cramped hut,
not even worthy of being likened to
an enlarged dog house, with tarpaulin
remnants, and breadths of battered tin
serving for roofage-it was one of those
semi-subterranean novels that even in
this dynamite destroying day the blast
er has allowed to grace civilization in
West Sixty-third street, only few
hundred yards from the park! You de-
scend to these novels by means of a
rickety ladder-like stairway, with Ma
laria herself for your guide.

WILL RECAST PARTY LINES
LIVELY TIMES EXPECTED IN NEyT
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
Radical Changes Likely to BE Made in
PrOcedure-BuIIer's Case
to Come Up.

LONDON, January 4.-When King Ed
ward opens parliament January 16, which
will be an occasion of even create pomp
and ceremony than was his last appearance
in the house of lords, one ofrthe most inter
esting sessions of recent years will be be-
gum Before it's conclusion the whole status
of the liberal party is likely to be altered
and Lord Rosebery's future determined.
Present indications point to a split which
no mfddle-road proflouncements can heal,
and in which Sir Edward Grey H. H. As
quith, Sir H. H. Fowler, r. w. Perks K.
Il. Haldane and other imperialsts together
with few unionists, will flock to Lord
Rosebery's standard and initiate an or
ganization with the hope of securing con-
troll of all the liberal elements prior to the
next general election. Temporarily this
diversion of the opposition will greatly
facilitate the governments program, the
chief item of which is sweeping reform OF
parliamentary procedure.
The hopeless delay and confusion which
at present characterize all legislative eff
forts at Westminster have reached a point
where parliament has become ridiculous in
the eyes of the country. In the drastic re-
casting of the procedure many methods
employed in the United States Congress
will either be adopted or given a trial in
modified FORM
Among other important features Of the
session will be thorough investiga ton of
Gen. Buffers dismissal from the command
OF the first army corps. This doubtless,
Will once more involve the nation in a
whirlpool of bitter controversy.
Education and finance are two routine
matters which will excite more than usual
interest.
The chancellor of exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, will doubtless get all the ad-
ditional war supplies he requires, though
special measures will be necessary to raise
them, and this will give Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman's section Of the opposition
full opportunity for criticising the gov
erEments policy in South Africa
Some sanguine prophets also believe the
war will be sufficiently near it's end to en-
able the government to put before the ma
ton, during the session, detailed plans for
the settlement of South Africa. This be-
lief however, does not appear to be shared
by the war office.

SURRECTION GROWING

WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Jan
olutionary steamer Libertader, formerly the
British steamer Ban Righ, has, it is be-
lieved here landed the expedition near Bar
celona, Venezuela.
Advices received here from Caracas show
that the Venezuelan government is without
news of the movements of the Libertador
The vessels composing the Venezuelan
fleet are without coal, and besides their
engines are out of order, and, therefore,
president Castros s.iips could not put
to sea and search for the Libertador.
About 1,500 partisans Of General Riera, q
Venezuelan revolutionary leader, are await
Ing his arrival, near Coro, Venezuela. When
Riera arrives it is intended to set the coun-
try in a blaze of revolt. Six other bands
of insurgents, raised by General Fernandez
Mendoz and others, are under arms but
they are avoiding coming into conflict with
the government troops until they receive
reinforcements and arms and ammunition.
The fact that the governments efforts to
capture these bands have been without sue
cess is looked upon by the revolutionsts as
proof of the vitality of the revolutionary
movement.
The Venezuelan government. according to
the advices from Caracas, is without money
and is vainly trying to buy war supplies in
New York.
1t is further asserted that the employees
of the government of Venezuela have been
without pay for the past six months and
that they are only awaiting a favorable op-
portunlty to take part in the revolt against
President Castro.

Among those who urge change is A. G.
Miller of Aurora, chief dispatcher of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railway.
He suggests that several disastrous wrecks
in the last thirty days were due to the al
legged misunderstanding of written orders.
and insists that written orders never should
be used.
The placing of block signals along the
track at day when the trains often run
eighty miles an hour, is held to be unsafe,
as they cannot always be read by the en-
gineer when going at such speed.
Automatic blocks or lights in the engine
cab,'' said Mr.. Miller, mean just two
things-when they are clear or white the
train should proceed; when they are red
the train should stop. There should be no
written orders
This system of movable blocks or lights
in engine cabs is being installed on the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois railroad, chiefly
through the efforts of Mr.. Miller, who took
the initiative in bringing the system to per-
fectiOn.
The experiment will be watched with in
terest by railroad men throughout the coun-
try.

DYNAMOS PUT IN.
Interior Department Building to Be
E;ectricnIIy Lighted.

Within two weeks the three buildings of
the Interior Department are to be lighted
by electricity generated in an independent
plant located in the old Post Office Depart
ment building. Workmen have been en-
gagged for several months in wiring the
patent office, the present land Office and
the pension building, and that work is now
about completed. The dynamos and en-
gines are being installed in the rooms
formerly occupied by the post Office mu-
scum, on the ground floor of the old Post
Office Department building. Mr.. E. NJ.
Dawson, the chief clerk of the department
is in charge of the work. Local electricians
were enga ged today in assembling the mas
sive chandelier for the main entrance to
the patent office building. 1t is of brass,
handsomely decorated, and provides for
about 100 incandescent bulbs. The design,
which is generally empire in its nature,
conforms admirably with the classic archi-
tectural features of the whole structure.
For the E street building the old ante
bellum chandelier has been converted to
furnish both gas and electric lights.
