Marks--Our Umpire Praised.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Gen. Henry M.
Duffied of Detroit, who was the umpire
between Germany and Venezuela in the
settlement of German claims against the
South American republic, called at the
State Department to-day. He said that
of claims aggregating 0O49,O0O marks,
made by Germany against Venezuela,
the tribunal had allowed 100000 marks.
Concerning the stateuasnts that the
Venezuelan Government had been dis
courteous to the foreign arbitrators and
rmpires and had attempted to discredit
their work, Gen. Duffield said. that, so far
as he was aware, the Government had not
countenanced the discourtesy complained
Of, which was confined to cartoons and
written attacks in two Caracas newspapers.
On the contrary, the Government he
asserted, had shown every courtesy to
the foreign representatives and had even
suppressed these newspapers. OF seventy
three German claims presented, Gen. Duff
fields services as umpire were required
in thirsy-four.
The following letter was made public
at the White House to-day:

STORM PIVOTED OUT AT SEA.
Centre 500 Miles or So East OF North
Carolina.

A continuation of the deluge was feared
by the water-soaked populace when thin
rain came aslant on a clustering wind out
of the northeast at o'clock last night. But
the Weather Bureau says there needn't be
any more alarm The two storms, one
that has passed of to sea and the other,
a West Indian cyclone, that was still whirl
inp last night on an axis of dead calm of
the North Carolina coast, have squeezed
about all the moisture out of the air here
abouts.
Only about quarter OF an inch Of rain fell
UP to midnight, but it was projected out OF
the murk with such REPRESENTATIVES,
forty mile rate--that it felt and looked. as
it dashed the pools into mimic fury, as II it
were fearson.e rainfall.
Tho Weather Bureau thought hard last
night, and, with the help Of its 'ometers
reports from most Of it's stations and its
charts. it decided that the centre Of the
cyclore was, perhaps. about 500 miles out
to sea, cast of the North Carolina coast.
The remarkable part about the great
twister--it is about 900 miles in diameter
from rain fringe to rain fringe-is the per-
sistency with which it revolves in one spot.
In the absence of reports from South and
North Carolina on Friday the official
sharps decided that the centre was off
the Virginia coast, where the lowest ba-
rometer was reported.
They got reports from places further
south and from Bermuda which showed
that the storm centre hadn't budged for
forty-eight hours. Reports from Hatteras
we're missing last night but it was APP
parent from the low barometers all along
the coast ard at Bermuda, and the force OF
the gale-varying from thirty-ive to sixty
four miles the storm was still doing
business at the same old stand,
There is high pressure to the northeast
and another to the northwest OF this neigh
borhood. These are preventing the cyclone
from rushing in upon us. What there may
he north and east of the storm out in the
Atlantic no one knows.
"If we knew what was out there. Fore
caster Emery said last night, I'VE might
be able 10 say something more definite
about the probable movement of the storm"
This much is known. surely: That the
cyclone is Of much intensity; also OF great
eirth, and aving been spinning two days,
il has kicked up tremendous sea in the
t1ack of vessels bound to ports below
Norfolk,
1t may be that there is high pressure
far TO seward helping to hold the storm
back. There we're no signs OF its having
moved materially last night. So, to-day
we may have high northeasterly winds
ard more rain. Warning to mariners:
Don't sail South until the giant storm wheel
spins out Of your course.

The larger bets were to 5, and in few
cases even bets have been made that Book

Apeculiar condition of the campaign exists
in the fact that many OF the best known
Republicans In the city are openly opposed
to Mayor Bookwalter, the party nominee,
and many Democrats are opposed to Holts-
man, the Democratic candidate. and the
indications point to a heavy Democratic
vote for Bookwalter and heavier Re-

ODELL OBJECTS TO SHELDON,
Whom Platt Recommends to Hanna for
National Committee man.

Senator Platt on Tuesday wrote a letter
to Senator Marcus A. Hanna, chairman of
the Republican national committee, recon-
mending the appointment of George r.
Sheldon, treasurer OF the New York Re-
publican county committee. to be Re-
publican national committeeman for the
State Of New York to succeed the late
Frederick s. Gibbs. Senator Plat I'D to
last night had not received a reply from
Senator Hanna; not that he expected
reply. 1t was said, for the reason that Senator
Hanna may not consider it necessary to
send word to Senator Platt as to his de-
csion in the matter. Under a resolution
passed in the closing hours of the Republican
national convention at Philadelphia in 1860
Chairman Hanna has the authority to fill
vacancies occasioned by resignation or
death.
Gov Odell, it was ascertaned last night,
has objected to the appointment of Mr.
Sheldon for personal reasons 1t turned
out that the Governor had been disturbed
over what he thought was Mr. Sheldon's
alleged attitude toward him in certain
financial transaction. But it was made
known last night that Mr.. Sheldon in no
way had spoken of the matter and had not
even concerned himself about il.
Senator Platt said last night that he was
sorry that any complication of this kind
had come up, for the reason that he was
convinced after investigation that MIR.
Sheldon had not in any way been unkind
to Gov. Odell and Senator Platt believed
that Chairman Hanna would appoint Mr..
Sheldon to the place.
Gov Odell it will be remembered had Mr..
Sheldon taken eff the State ticket at the
Saratoga Republican convention last year.
