C., Jan. 1.—Pres- ident Cleveland to-night announced the appointment of the Venezuelan boundary commission, as follows: David J. Brewer, of Kansas, Jus- tice United States Supreme court. Richard H. Alvey, of Maryland, Chief Justice of the court of appeals of the District of Columbia. Andew D. White, of New York. Frederick R. Condert, York. Daniel C. Gilman, of Maryland. The commission is regarded here among those who had an opportu- nity to see the list of names after they were made public, as a very satisfactory one, whose opinions snd conclusions will be received by the American public with that confidence | which the standing of the members | of the commission in the public eye inspires. Judge Brewer is a republican in| pelitice, and about 58 years of age. | He is a graduate of Yale, and has spent considerable time in the prac- tice of his profession in Kansas, | where he filled a number of judicial | offices. associate justice of the suprem dent Harrison. Richard H. Alvey is a democrat in | politics and a man of marked legal | ability. It was the great reputation | he gained as judge in the Maryland | eourts which led President Cleveland | in the absence of political influence | on Judge Alvey’s part, to appoint him to the position of chief justice of the court of appeals of this dis- trict. He is about 60 years of age. Andrew D. White is a republican in politics. Heisone of the best known men of letters in this coun- | try, and perhaps in the world; is an author and historian snd has been the president of Cornell University. Mr. White was appointed minister to Russia by President Harrison and this position he held through Harrison’s administration and for a year or more during Mr. Cleveland's administration. Frederick R.

There is not amanin the Osage valley, from Shipley’s shoals eight miles from the mouth, to Pop- pinville, at the conjunction of the Osage and Maries Des Cygne, who has not lost heavily. The entire val ley is a desolate waste, and half the stricken people are sick from expos- ure. Many of them have absolutely nothing, not even a meal’s victuals, left. Unless more fortunate peuple follow. The entire valley is a vast bed of slime and muddy ooze, and it is greatly feared that much sickness will result from the overflow. This would undoubtedly prove true had it occurred during warm weather, but freezing may have a good effect. A repcrter of the St. Louis Republic visited Bagnell the other day and, ameng other things, he says: “The waters of the Osage have begun slowly to subside, and a mantle of soft, slimy, oozing mud covers everything. As the waters recede the havoc played by the sud- den rise begins to manifest itself. Thousands of railroad ties, thous- ands of bushels of corn and wheat, wagon loads of apples, miles of fenc- ing aud acres of fodder and feed have disappeared before the mighty onrush of the floods. Houses, barns and granaries by the hundreds have been swept away; cattle, horses and hogs have been drowned and their carcasses line the hills, against which the backwaters beat. Houses and stores all along the Osage valley are filled yet with water, mud and the wreckage of the waves and woe and desolation appear on all sides Standing on the top of a high hill overlooking this village as far as one can se@ there is a wide expanse of water, cn the surface of which are tossing the wreckage from the farm. ers’ homes. The swift, rushing cur- rent is hourly carrying millions of feet of timber on to the Missouri. Each wave represents a lose to some unfortunate farmer or lumberman.” | Thies is only one point on the Osage and gives but a very dim idea of the actual condition of the valley. Men who considered themselves in good circumstances two weeks ago now do not know how they will manage to furnish the bare necessaries of life for their fanailies during the winter. Jefferson City will be ex- pected to contribute liberally toward the flood sufferers, and everyone should hold themselves in readiness. It is to be hoped that every preaeh- er and priest in Jefferson City will remember the flood sufferers te day in his discourse and give such ad- vice to his congregation as the dis stress of the people suggest. It is not too much to say that the people of the Osage valley are in dire dis- tress. Many families have lost every- thing except the bare clothes they wear. Winter is here, and the valley is almost as uninviticg as a burned | prairie. | Charity should always begin at | home, so let ibe peeple of Jefferson their alms elsewhere.

ENGLANDIS AT IT AGAIN. Republic of the Transvaal Invaded by British Troops. London, Jan. 1—The news from Pretoria, Transvaal Republic, to-day tends to confirm the gravity of the situation there, growing out of the invasion of the Boer territory by an armed force of the British South Africa Co. numbering about 700 men, with six Maxim guns, led by Dr. Jamison, the British commis- sioner of Mashonaland, who was so successful in his operations against King Lobengula. The Transvaal president, Krueger, has called upon the burghers to defend their coun- try and a serious conflict is antici- pated, in spite of the fact that the Colonial secretary, the Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, has telegraphed to Dr. Jamison to withdraw into territory, and has urged President Krueger to do his utmost to prevent bloodshed. A dispatch received here from the Transvaal to day by a financial paper | says: ‘The burghers are advancing to meet Jamison. A conflict is hour- ly expected.” The afternoon newspapers com- ment at great length upon this fresh trouble which the British govern. | ment has to face. They recognize the fact that the invasion of the Transvaal, although made upon the urgent request of thousands of Englishmen and others in the Trans- yaal who complain that they have to pay the whole revenue of the | country while being denied repre-| sentation, is liable to give particular offense to Germany, whose friendship | As the telegraph wires are beliey- ed to have been cut behind Dr. Jam- ison’s force, and as the Boer forces, well armed and equipped. have been 'mobilized under Gen.
