Sutherland. the Gordon country place,
which she preferred TO the noise and
excitement of official life. When the
coachman drew up. he found her smok-
ing her evening pipe. Not step would
she stir.
"She done say" said the unsuccessful
envoy on his return TO town. dat she
don want TO see no presidents; she
done see 'nough presidents"
Mrs. Cleveland laughed heartily when
she heard this. Then she proposed 70

refused to bulge. and the next day she
drove out TO Sutherland.

Times

J. Farley, an elevator attendant at the
Astor House. who confesses that he
is a wholesale pyro-maniac. Farley,
who was arrested for setting fire to
the Astor House twice, confessed to
Fire Marshal Freel that he had set
fire to the Astor House DO less than
nine times. He said that he had also
set fire to ten other places in this
city. Farley said he had ignited the
Grand Union Hotel once in Saratoga.
The incendiary said that his pur-
pose was to put the fire out after it
had been started and then secure a
reward On several occasions prop
erty owners had given him cash. He
was suspected by the police because
OF the fact that he was always on the
spot where the fire broke out
When arraigned before Magistrate
Brann in the Centre street court he
was held without bail for examination

Farley always managed to get burned,
as he believed this would bring a

ARBITRATION PROCEDURE.
Our Part That of Good Friend to All

WASHINGTON. D. c., December 27.-
There is now in progress an active ex-
change of notes between the allied Pow
ers Venezuela. and the United States re-
specting the method of submitting to
arbitration the issues which have arisen
between Venezuela and the allies. Cues
tons are being put and answers are forth
coming. but it is said that the negotia-
tons are in such shape that it would be
extremely iniudicious and indiscrtet to
make each phase public. If there really
existed q desire TO reach satisfactory
settlement
It is explained al the State Department
that the part of the United States Gov
eminent Just now is that of good friend
TO all parties: that it is not undertaking
to draw up protocols or impose limita-
lions upon the parties. but is combining its
offices to getting them together and keep
ing them so. In this view. It Will not
be necessary for our government TO pre-
scribe how the Monroe doctrine shall or
judge for itself how far our interests are
affected, and Will not indulge in prema-
ture or uncailed-for protests.
As for the terms of this arbitration
agreement, It is stated that they are iI,
a fair way to be speedily adjusted. but
nothing can be said OF the details. II is
presumed that the allies will agree to
terminate the Blockade. though no stipu-
lation has vet been entered into on tnat
point Nothing has been heard recently
of the part to be taken by United States
Minister Bowen in the final settlement.
and it begins to appear that after all
Venezuela will probably be represented
by one Of her own people
