The Hague, Sept. 2-AccOrding to
authoritative information, after Baron
Van Lynden, the Dutch foreign minis
ter, had greeted the members of the
arbitration court, NJ. MOrayieff, the
Russian minister OF justice, who pre-
sided, announced that he was the only
arbitrator present, and was willing to =
hear any remarks.
Mr. Cohen, the counsel for Great
Britain, proposed that the tribunal ad--
jOurn from day to day. Wayne Mac
veagh, in behalf of Venezuela, replied
that in the absence of three arbitrators
he could not agree to Mr.. COhen's pro-
posal.
Thereupon Moravieff declared the.
tribunal not yet duly constituted and
the sitting was unofficial. The French
counsel asked that the present discus
sion should be incorporated in the min
utes of the meeting. Macveagh op--
posed this application on the same
grounds as before. The arbitrator then
adjourned the sitting and withdrew.
The Venezuelan counsel has protest
ed against this delay entailed by the
failure of Great Britain and Germany
TO ask the car TO appoint three arht--
traitors in time for the opening Of the
tribunal. 1t is believed the Venezue-
Ian counsel will insist on the nomina-
ton of the arbitrator and the organl-
zation of the tribunal as soon as pos
sible.

Milwaukee. Sept AT o'clock
yesterday morning three men were
killed by sewer gas in shaft OF the
North avenue tunnel which goes down
at the intersection of Oakland avenue.
Two of the victims died as heroes
while attempting to save human life.
The dead:
Louis Schunck, 795 Booth street,
superintendent of the water depart
ment, aged 81 years, married, body
taken to the morgue.

aged 2S years, body taken to the
morgue.
The injured.
Michael Hebron, a miner, who vol
unteered TO descend into the tunnel
overcome by gas, will recover.
1t was just O'Clock when young
Hickey, a son of r. ]. Hickey who
built the North avenue tunnel, opened
the east shaft at Oakland avenue and
descended to see how much water was
in the tunnel. No one saw him in the
act of descending, but it was known
that he was there fer that purpose and
a number of people saw him at the end
of the shaft. He had been in the shaft
but a few minutes when someone sug-
gested that all might not be well with
him and that another should see how
he Jared.
The colOred man, Larson, heard the
suggestion and in a twinkling he was
on the iron ladder descending. Supt.
Schunck, who was there with Hickey,
Larson and others, preparing TO put
water main in the tunnel, saw the ne
gro go down and leaned over the
mouth of the shaft to hear a report
from Larson and Hickey. The suppO-
sition is that Schunck hearu Larson
fall of the ladder and land on the bot
tom of the tunnel, 80 feet below.

situations, offered II go down. A rope
was tied about his body, and he start
