Venezuela Raising Row About
Verdict for Belgian Company.
Willemstad, Curacao, Sept 1.-THE
decision in the cases of the big claims
against Venezuela presented to the
mixed tribunals began to be rendered
yesterday.
The Dutch and Belgian arbitrators
and the Venezuelan umpire delivered
judgment condemning Venezuela to
pay the Belgian company owning the
Caracas waterworks 100000.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
meeting of the tribunal was declared
to be secret the Venezuelan govern

everywhere, and also started the semi
official press complaining against Dr.
Fitz, the Dutch arbitrator, who is
a former president of the high court
of the Dutch West Indies, and the
other arbitrators, who are characterized
as robbers worthy of hanging.
The violence of the press is without
precedent, going so far as to say the
government will not accept the judg-

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 11.-Rev. Ira
Landrith, a member of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Committee on Fra
ternal Union, said when shown DR..
Coyle's interview:
AT the last meeting of the Cum
berland Presbyterian General Assem-
bly,. in this city in May, a committee
was appointed to confer with a similar
committee from the Northern Presby-
terrain Church for the purpose, of Sc
lecting basis of union upon the
terms suggested in DR.. Coyles state
ment.
This committee will hold it's first
full meeting in st. Louis, Sept. $780,
and on the following day it is expect
ed that a joint meeting of our own
and the Presbyterian Committee will
be held in the same city. Thus far
nothing has been formulated by our
committee.
Our own denomination has shown
from the first a most cordial spirit ia
vorable to union if 1t can be accom-
plished UPON terms mutually satisfac-
tory to the churches concerned. Ger
tainly if 1t is made plain that DIR. Coyle
is correct that the Lines which have
so long kept his and the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church separated have
now been affected there will remain
so sufficient reason for the separate
existence of the two churches.
Il am particularly anxious that an
early union, if one is accomplished at
all, may include the Northern and
Southern Presbyterian churches and
our own"

With some temporary success. but
meantime an increasingly terrible tale
of atrocities committed in Macedonia
shows the situation is daily becoming

by similar action on the part of the
other Powers.

Constantinope, Sept. 11.-An official
dispatch received here announces that
the Imperial troops recaptured Vasili-
ko, on the Black sea, on Sunday last,
after the insurgent force occupying
the place had been attacked by 1000
Turkish troops with two cannon.
The release of Abdul Kader, the
naturalized citizen of the United
States, from Imprisonment at Tripoh,
Syria, and the dismissal of Reshid
Pasha. the Vail of Beirut, are taken
to indicate that the granting of the
other demands of Minister Leishman
will not be long delayed.
The American consul at Beirut re-
ports that the situation there is i'm
proving, thanks to the confidence in
spired by Nazim Pasha, who has sue
ceeded Reshid Pasha. Rumors of fresh
outraRes continue to reach CONSTANT
nople, but these reports are deliberate
ly spread with the object of creating
the impression that the present stu
alton at Beirut was provoked by the
arrival there of the United States war
ships.
AS matter of fact, disturbed
state of affairs is chronic at Beirut.
Insecurity has prevailed there for
months-practically throughout Reshld
Pashas tenure of office. The present
grand viser six months ago asked the
Sultan to remove Reshid Pasha. but
the latters supporters at the palace
were too powerful. Reshid Pasha is
alleged to have made a large fortune
by corrupt administration. He owns
extensive property in Cyprus.
