Family.

j. w Frown OF North Dakota is
again in this city trying TO ascertain
the Whereabouts Of his wife and three
small chilcren, a boy aged 8. and two

fall.
In connection with their disappear
ance he believes that an account CIV
Q min the papers several months ago
OF woman and three children being
found dead near a swamp in soutA
eastern Oklahoma may have been his
wife and children. Every effort to To-
cate the family has thus far proven
futile, although for eighteen months
the husband has been constantly and
nersistentiy on the search. II is stat
ed that MS. Brown, during her hus-
bands absence, became enamored OF
young nan calling himself Frank
Powell AMI that on the day before she
disappeared with the children he ac-
companied her 10 her fathers bqme.
The father refused to have Po~ell on
the place and the next day Nrs.
Brown left presumably to join Pow
ell. She was afterward seen at Coyle,
the last trace Of her and the children.
Powell is also missing. Brown has
offered reward for any information
Regarding his family.

FRENCH OFFICIALS HOPEFUL
Paris, Feb, 1.-The officials here con-
tnue hopeful Of an adjustment Of the
difficulties In the Venezuelan negotla-
lions, They say the delays are largely
due TO Misunderstanding among the

Of claims. II was explained that the
French claims. on which Venezuela
conceded 13 per cent Of her customs re-
ceipts. were those arbltrated by the
president of Switzerland, amounting 70
$S50000 Several installments have been
paid, but i've remain unpaid. The
French officials say Great Britain and
Germany have heretofore given CATE
gorleal recognition OF this same settle

The second class of the French claims
cover the period prior 20 1899, not COW
cred by the previous Swiss arbitration.
These are now IN process Of arbitration
before the arbitrators who are meeting

The after claims are not secured by the
customs guarantee Of l3 per cent which
arples only 70 the Swiss arbitration
amount There Is still q third class
o. claims, for the period after 1880
These also are not secured by the GUS
tens The French officials say the al
lies have repeatedly recognized French
priority on the 10 per cent OF the GUS
IONS until the remaining lnstallments
of fhe Swiss award are paid On the
last two classes It is stated that France
does not expect priority or a separate
fund Of 10 per cent but desires a settle.
