But Everything Points TO Satisfactory
Progress in the Negotiations.
Washington, january 90 White No ad.
vance has been made since yesterday to-
ward the settlement of the Venezuelan is
sues, It Is certain that no ground has been
lost by the negotiators and the few de-
tails Of exchanges between the allies that
leak out Indicate that the fumor that an
American commission is to take charge OF
the Venezuelan customs houses IN the In
tcrest OF the creditors has the foundation
that the allies themselves viii name re-
spectyc agents II is believed that one
question Is whether the entire receipts OF
certnin customs houses shall be made over
to the allies or whether II percentage OF
receipts of all Venezuelan customs iouseG
shall be thus set apart. Simplicity Of adj
mlnlstratlon ana reduction Of the number
OF nilcd commissioners is urged IN behalf
Of the first plan.
II II understood TINT the allies. while
considerably abating their demands for a
cash payment, still adhere To the principle
Of the ultimatum so fnr as II involves the
payment OF some money on claims of such
character as do not admit Of question.
Upon the amount Of these claims will de-
pend Mr.. Bowen's success in raising the
blockade, for It Is believed he has contrived
the means to secure some cash from Presi-
dent Castro and more Is likely to he do
rived from interests in the United States.
Up TO the close of the day formal notice
Of the acceptance Of the proposition had
not come to Mr.. Bowen from the repre-
sentatives ~ the allies here. However such
unofficial Information MS reached Mr.. Bowen
confirmed his belief that the trouble would
be settled soon.
1t is learned TINT the Italian government
all along has favored an honorable COM
promise ana has let It's allies know the favor
with which It received the Bowen PROPOSE

to their views
1t developed today that the proportion
Of the customs duties collected at La Quay
IA aud Puerto Cabello TO be paid to the
allies Is 30 per cent These two ports
collect a large part ct the total customs
receipts Of the country. Under this ar
rangement practically a cash payment can
be dispensed with as the customs receipts
win quickly defray the pressing claims Of
the allies.

Alice Miller, of Morgan, Tex. 81 got
temporary relief, but it came back
again and again and for six long years
1 have suffered lore misery and agony
than can tell. 1t was worse than
death. My!husband spent hundreds
of dollars for physicians prescriptions
and treatment without avail. Finally
we moved to Bosque county, our pres
ent home, and one day l happened to
see an advertisement of Chamberlain S
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhpa Remedy
with testimonial of man who has
been cured by it. The case was SO
similar to my own that concluded to
try the remedy. The result was WON
derful. I could hardly realize that I
was we'll again, or believe it could be
so after having suffered so long, but
that one bottle of medicine, costing
but few cents, cured me-" For sale

Among some old papers belonging to
his mother, Joseph Wiley of New Mil.
ford, formerly of NewtOwn, found
these verses. A note on the paper,
written in red ink, says they we're
penned within the walls Of LaZarettO,
Alexandria, Egypt, September 9, 1889.
Mr. Wiley now makes his home with
his daughter, Mrs John Harmon of
Nicholas Square, New Milford. The
verses follow:
To wonder who can guess.
This is not home, where day ny day
1 wear the weary hour away.
This is not home where lowly night,
Prepares me for the pain OF light.
'Tis hope, it's jov, tits memory, give
A home, in which the heart can live.
These walls no longer hopes endear,
No fond remembrance chains me here.
Cheerless, I heave the lonely sigh,
I would, but cannot, tell you why:
'Tis - that home to me
And home without thee cannot be.
I sometimes strangely love to roam
And find in widest hauntS my home.
I've been in halls of lOrdlY state
And yet was homeless, desolate.
The sailors home is on the main,
The Bedouin's on the scorching plain,
The lady's in her bower of rest,
The infants on it's mothers breast,
But where thou art is home to me,
And home without thee cannot be.
No home is by the wanderer found,
'Tis not in space, it hath no bounds.
1t is circling atmosphere,
In resting all the heart holds dear:
1t is a presence undefined,
Ger shadowing the conscious mind,
Where love and duty sweetly blend,
| To cOnSecrate the name of friend;
Such title may claim Of thee,
Then hope without thee cannot be.

Many Americans spend seasons in

The park is located just east of the
village street and lies on a cliff that at
it's highest point is several hundred

point has been erected steel tower IS

this little park could do much to boom
