When the agreement was fully under- stood by the people the most able men in Venezuela publicly advocated it and ad- vised its unqualified approval. Then there | was a change of sentiment, and a wave of ! >t tbrough the country. 1t sentiment that in the tes they had a friend at whose hands they woula lose nothing. Minister Andrada scemed very happy when he stepped from the steamer to-day. Toa reporter of the United Associated Presses have written and tele- graphed a ave o say, and it has been | published in America. I cannot say any- | more on the question just now.” | “Tt is 1 vou come here empowered by President Crespo to sign the treaty on be- . . half of Venezuela,’ said the reporter. “That is a matter I cannot with pro. priety d » he replied. *Nor can 1 tell you whether or not the treaty is satis- | . factory to my country.

It aid: “In the matter of the boundary ement the unwarranted attacks upon overnment are based on no solid ar- guments, and we are surprised to see such rumors set afloat after everything con- cerning the boundary que tion has been settled satisfactorily. The United States has been the friend and representative of To put it exacily, Venezuela the Vene to Great Britain forty years ago and which Great Britain refused.

Storrow was not inclined to disenss | the treaty. “The three papers,”’ he sad, ‘“went off half-cocked and wrote articles against the treaty. Pu men, jurists and diplomats wrote intelligent articles of the agreement in the newspapers and ai- ter a while the people understood it clearly. It was commended generally be- fore we left the country, two ex-Ministers to" England being among its advocates. The feeling in the country is very friendly to the United States, and one hears kind words for Americans on all sides. Presi- dent Crespo is most cordial towards the United States. Heisa man of powerful influence in his country and he is very popular. His influence would alone go a great way toward securing the adoption | of the agreement. He received a very | vourteous letter from President Cleveland which moved him greatly. He wrote a reply in the same strain. As tothe stories of a possible revolution in the country, they are «imply nonsense. If any such outbresk had been likely to occur I cer- tainly would not have left.” AFTER A CABINET PLACE. Colonel Fred Grant Actively Boomed by His Friends. W YORK, N.Y., Dec. 26.—A petition reulated among all sorts of Re- publicans in the interest of Colonel Fred Grant for Secretary of War. The petition was started by the president of the Empire Republican League, but it is being signed by many Republican district leaders. The letter, which will be sent to the Presid-nt- elect, says among other things: “Besides his personal’ efforts, Colonel Fred . Grant rendered efficient services in other ways. He furnished more than fiity cetectives from headquarters to purge election rolls of fraudulent registration and was especially instrumental in pre- venting the perpetration of election frauds of any Kind. Itis not too much to say that never before in tie history of New York City was there held so pure and honest an eleciicn as the last one, and this is due directly to the efforts and ia- tegrity of Colonel Grant.” Piattand his frieuds favor the move- ment. — Bryan and His Book. CHICAGO, irv, Dec. 26.—William J. Bryan passed through Chicago last even- ing on the way to his home at Lincoln, Nebr. He remained in the city but two liours and leit for his home at 10 o’clock over the Rock Isiand road. Bryan had elan Minister to | Storrow of | little to say. He stated in repiy to an ingpiry that he expected his book to be ready for the public early in Jaruary, and that after it was ready for the press he in- tended to go on a lecturing tour. Mean- time, he said, he intended to devote all his time to the completing of it. T KENTUCKY’S LYNCHING RECORD. Six Men Put to Dzath in as Many Days. A Negro Murderer the Latest Victim of o Mob. . OWENSBORO, Kry., Dec. 26.—Alfred Holt, colored, alias Alexander, the mur- derer of Police Officer W. A. White, was | taken from jail by a mob at 2:30 o’clock this morning and hanged to a tree in the courthouse yard. This is Kentucky’s sixth lynching in as many days. About 2:15 o’clock two men xicked at the jail door and, in response to a question from Deputy Jailer John Ashby Jr., who demanded who had knocked, said they had a prisoner they wished to lock up for safe keeping. Thus thrown off his guard young Asnby opened the door, only to face two big revolvers. He was over- powered before he could utter a cry and the keys were taken from him. At a signal from the two men thirty or fourty others poured into the jail from the dark- ness. Proceeding upstairs, several of the | mob held Jailer John Ashby Sr. a captive while the others moved on to the cell { where Holt and the five others implicated with him were asleep. They did not arouse from their beds till {the keys rattled in the keyhole. Then they pleaded for mercy. The leader said Holt was the guilty man, and he alone was wanted. Pleading for his life Holt was taken from the jail through the courthouse to the east side, facing the Rudd House. He was given ample time to pray, when a rope was placed about his neck. In three minutes Holt was strangled to death, The mob was so quiet that not over ten | outsiders knew anything of the lynching. Holt had only been brought here a few days ago from Louisville, where he was taken for safe keeping. ECEsiigs - I OTHER CRIMES IN KENIUCKY. Blood Flows in Many Sections of the Biue Grass State. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 26.—Ken- tucky’s crime list this week is long and bloody. In addition to the six lynchings for the week, the past forty-eight hours have been enlivened with the following deeds of violence: At Cynthiana Thursday night John Howe, colored, aged 15, fatally wounded Policeman Charles Tracey. On the Big Elkborn, near the Virginia line, Tom Edelson stabbed Bud Stein to death. Charles Ewalt, a prominent white man, killed Harry Foster, colored, at a dance in Boone County !ast night. A log-man named Swift was murdered in a Christmas row at a logging-camp near Pineville. Alexander Small killed Joe Boyers at a Christmas festival near Cynthiana. At a frolic in Breathitt County four men were cut, and one named Riley was mortally wounded. Toll-gate raiders celebrated Christmas ville, in Woodford County. This is the second time this gate has been destroyed. Bill Marrow amused himself by shooting the candles off the Christmas tree at Kava- nagh chapel in Lawrence County, and when George Pack remonstrated Marrow shot him in the abdomen and escaped on horseback. Joe Robertson-ejected John and George Rexroat from a Cbristmas-tree czlebration at Columbia, and they returned and shot { him in the abdomen, inflicting probably fatal wounds. Bt S s IMPLICATED IN A MURDER. Indictment of a Chicago Alderman on a Charge of Having Assisted in a Kill- ing Two Years Ago. CHICAGO, IrL., Dec. 26.—As a result of information gainea by Police Inspector Shaack from two non-resident witnesses, the Grand Jury to-day voted an indict- ment against Thomas J. O'Malley, Alder- man from the Twenty-third Ward, charg- ing complioaty in the murder of Gus | Colliander, & saloon-keeper and Twenty- | thira Ward politician, on election night, f;\‘ovember, 1894. Haif a dozen members of the notorious Market-street gang have been suspected by the police of this cold- | blooded crime. John Bingham and John Santry, of the gang, were also indicted on the same charge. Colliander iad re- ceivad the nomination for Northtown Collector, and entered the poHing-place at 117 Oak street about midnight to watcn the count of votes. Soon after his arrival a gang of the Market- street criminals broke in the door and a bloody fizht fol- lowed. Colliander was shot through the i body and head, dying in a few hours. Policeman Michaels, who was stationed at the polling-place, was seriously wounded by a bullet. Assistant State Attorney Pearson, who examined the new witnesses, said their testimony made out a stronger case against the Alderman than azainst Santry or Bingham. Itis alleged tuat the witnesses saw O’Malley with the other men before the marder, and scuffling in the crowd while the shooting was in vrogress. The police have been working very secretly for months on new developments in the case and the indictment oi O'Malley caused sensational surprise as muck in police circles as among politicians at the City Hall. He has a plumbing establishment in his ward, was serving his first term in the Council and has always been regarded as a good citizen, e SIS REFUSES TO TAKE FOOD. For Seventeen Days a Prisoner Has Fasted in Kentucky. LOUISVILLE, K., Dec. 26.—John Pyle, confined in the Clay-street jail, had no Christmas dinner yesterday. None was offered him, for the reason that he has ab- solutely refused any kind of nourishment for the last seventeen days. Neither will Pyle speak to any one, and even his law- yer cannot get a word from him regarding his case, His action bas worried the prison offi- cials, and doctors who have been sum- moned to examine him have failed to de- tect any signs of fever or other illness. It wes generally supposed that he acted thus from some form of insanity, but ten days ago two doctors diagnosed his case thor- oughly and pronounced him sane. Another commission was appointed to examine him yesterday and reported that the man was simulating insanity, while being perfectly sane. The jail officials do not want him to die in jail and are power- less to force Lim to take nourishment. gty Not Permitted to Enlist, WESTON, W. Va., Dec. 26,—Earle, a son of Vice-President Kunst of the West Vir- ginia and Pennsylvania Railroad, with Roy Hale, Rolla Atchison and Hale Sher- rard, all under 20, ran off from home yes- terday to enlist in the Cuban urmy.

Gambling Speculations Cause the Downfall oi the Well- Known Firm. The Father of the Embarrassed Brothers Gave to Lockport Its Com- mercial Start in Life. CHICAGO, IrL., Dec. 26.—A commercial failure of large proportions was recorded this afternoon by the appointment of the Chicago Title and Trust Company receiver of the various properties of Norton & Co. of Chicago, Lockvort and Romeo, IlL., and Niagara Falis, N. Y. The firm con- sists of John L. Norton, who lives in Lockport, and Lemuel D., his brother, whose home is in Evanston. The receivership proceedings before Judge Hanecey were of the agreed kind, Lemuel, the plaintiff, £lleging that the affairs of the partnership were complicated, the assets in danger of being dissipated, and he petitioned for a dissolution and a receivership to wind up the business. John L. Norton assented and joined in the state- ment that the liabilities did not exceed the assets two to one. The bulk of the firm’s business 1s located at Lockport and the adjoining town of Romeo, near this city. The father of the brothers was a pioneer in that part of Illinois, and really gave Lockport its commercial start in liie by founding the Lockport Milling Company, uearly forty years ago. It was this business to which the broth- ers succeeded at the death of their father. The Nortons were the financial stay of the city. The property owned there consists of a flourmill with a capacity of 1000 barrels daily, machine-shops, elevator, warehouse and an electric-light plant for supplying light to the city. The firm has also done a private banking business toa large extent, and nearly half the people of Lockport are directly affected by the fail- ure through deposits of money. John L. Norton is also president of the Northern Milling Company, which oper- ates a large flourmill at the Madison- street bridge over the Chicago River in this city, although the brothers do not own a controliing interest in that property now. The company owns a paper-mill at Niagara Falls and has a large interest in the electric-power enterprise at the falls, They own a large grocery-store at Romeo, on the Illinois and Michigan canal. Tue main office of the company is 1in Chicago, at 169 Jackson street. John L. Norton when seen at his Lock- port home to-night by the United Associa- ted Presses’ correspondent, declined to make a statement of the assets and iiabil- ities of the firm. It is known that the net earnings of the milling property have been $75,000 & year in recent years. The firm became finaucially involved ;through ' board of trade speculation some years ago, one of the brothers speculating without the knowledge of the other and other seri- ous burdens coming upoa the firni in the present hard times, it became impossible 10 longer carry on the business. Holders of “the company’s obligations pressed for immediate payment since the collapse of the National Bank of 1llinois and kindred concerns. The firm’s credit became exhausted and the receivership became necessary to conserve the inter- ests of the estate. The brothers have been in business over thirty vears and their integrity has never been questioned. Tbe collapse caused general surprise in Lockport and the gloomy outlook it has created is only dispelled by the long standing faith in the firm, coupled with the prevailing belief that the assets will greatly exceed the liabilities. Itis said that the company is a large creditor of the National Bank of Illinois, and inability to meet the demands of de- positorsin Norton & Co.’s Bank had much to do with the receivership action. Miller A. Barnbam, representing the receiver, went at once to Lockport and took charge of the property to-night. Noble B. Judah, counsel for John L. Norton, said: *“There is a fair show for the creditors. Gambling losses caused the trouble, and the firm could not go through these hard times. All the avail- able assets are tied up in the firm, and it is impossible to correctly estimate the assets and liabilities. John Norton made the original strawboard trust, and was a millionaire once. His father had a pros- perous miliing business in Lockport when Chicago was a hamlet.” WEAPONS DISPLAYED IN COURT. { Even the Magistrate Took a Hand in Relieving a Prisoner of His Fistol and Knife. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 26.—The York- ville Police Court bad a lively quarter- hour this afternoon. Samuel Dreyfus was before Magistrate Wentworth on a charge of assauluing Mrs. Caroline Marcus. While the man stood before the rail in front of the Magistrate’s bench Mrs. Marcus was facing Dreyfus. Dreyfus in a sudden rage drew a pistol from his pocket and aimed it directly at the woman. Roundsman Griftin was standing close beside Dreyfus. He quickly clutched the revolver and threw Dreyfus’ hand upward and all the other court officers rushed upon the pris- oner and overpowered him. Even the Magistrate took a hand in the melee. Dreyfus was standing against his desk and the Magistrate reached across and clutchea Dreyfus by the throat and hung on until Griffin had wrested the revolver from his hand. Mrs. Marcus screamed and had hysterics for ten minutes. When the officers searched Dreyfus they found under his shirt a dangerous Turkish knife. A complaint was returned against him for assault with attempt to kill, and he was held under $2000 bail. e Tegiaal WOULD VIULATE THE SABBATH, Judge Prior Kefuses to Pormit a Hebrew Organization to Incorporate. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 26.—Judge Prior in the Supreme Court to-day denied the application of the Agudath Hakehi- loth, a Hebrew organization of New York, for a certificate of incorporation. In re- fusing the certificate Judge Prior says: “In the certificate submitted to meI observe that the annual meeting of the roxosed corporation is appointed to be eld on each and every second Sunday of January of each and every year. - Itis not a religious corporation, and its annual meetings are for the performance of pre- cisely such secular business as is transact- 'ed by other civil corporations. The ques- tion is not whether such meetings are illegal, but whether they should be ap- proved. The act intended is an aggression upon the Christian Sabbath, and the law which scrupulously protects them in their observance of their creed gives them no license to affront the reiigious suscepti- bilities of others.” S PREFERS THE SENATE. Allison Not a Candidate for a Cabinet Portfolio, but He Will Support Hull for Secretary of War. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 26.—Sena- tor Allison of Iowa will not be Secretary of State under the McKinley administra- tion, say bis Iowa friends. On the con- trary, he will urge the appointment of Congressman Hull of Iowa to be Secretary of War, and his efforts «ill be seconded by the united front of the solidly Republi- can delegation of the Hawkeye State. Moreover, the late Secretaries ot Waz, El- kins of West Virginia and Proctor of Ver- mont, both now members of the United States Senate and close to McKinley, will support Hull. His position as chairman of the House Committee on Military Af- fairs has enabled him to render valuable services to the War Department, and all of the line of army officers are favorable to his selection. Furthermore, Hull served in Congzress with McKinley and is well known to the President-elect. He is also backed by the Republican Congres- sional Committee, which is a prominent part of the National Committee since the attainment of leadership by Mark Hanna. Senator Allison, it is said, prefers his po- sition in the Senate. On the fourth day of next March he will begin a six-year term, which will give him thirty years of continuous service in the Senate. —_— 4LL FOR MOMNETAKY REFORM. Leaders Among the Parties Interested in the Indianapolis Convention. INDIANAPOLIS, Inp., Dec. 26.—Wil- liam H. Hanna, chairman of the executive committee of the Monetary Reform Con- vention, returned yesterday from a tour of the East, which he had made in the in- terest of the convention, to awaken busi- ness men to the importance of the occa- sion and to insist that the commerciai or- ganizations send broad-minded and in- fluential men to the convention. He was more than gratified with the feeling he encountered in Boston, New York, Phila- delphia and Pittsburg, and in fact every city that he visited. “I fino,” said Mr. Hanna, “that the movement is no new thing. I was not surprised, but I was extremely gratified at the great interest shown by all of the | most prominent men of the various cities [ visited. Those I talked to inclad- ed men of all parties, engaged in prac- tically all lines_of commerce and manu- facture, and I found practically no differcnce of opinion among tbem in the thought that the .business men of the g try should take hold of this subject and go slowly but earnestly about the work of devising and having adopted a sound currency system. *I now have no room to doubt that the character of the convention will be all that we could desire and such as will give to its proceedings great weight in the minds of the people. Most of the Terri- tory and all of the Chicago delegates have bzen named, as have those of a large number of smaller cities, and they are among the best known names in busi- ness circles in their respective cities. I feel assured that we are to have a conven- tion of whose character and patriotic pur- pose we may well pe proud.’” e S Mark Hanna Not Ill. CLEVELAND, Oxuio, Dec. 26.—The ru- mor that Mark Hanna is ill and will go to Thomasville, Ga., to recuperate, is un- true.

PR 2BOSTON Caks ALL RUNNING. But Many Old Employes Are Losing Zheir Poritions. BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 26.—Cars were running without interruption on all lines of the West End Street Railway to-day. Many of the cars were run by new men, however. On some of the divisions all the strikers were given to understand they would have to be rehired in order to get opportunity of taking out cars, while on other divisions the old men were allowed to take out their cars if ,they presented themselves at the carhouses on time. But it was apparent that the company intends to get rid of the men who were most ac- tive in the strike, Some were not allowed to take out cars at all, while those who ran out on their regular trips early in the day were replaced in many instances by new men later. The new men were given different badges than those worn by the old men. There is a good deal of bitter feeling among the men against the leaders of the union. Some of them feel that the coun- cil had bungled the whole matter so bad that it amounted to a virtual betrayal of the union into the hands of the company, and upon some of thedivisions the feeiing was particularly bitter against President Young, who has been at the head of the council. One of the discharged leaders said that the union was pracucally dead. A FICTIMS OF A MAD DOG, Une More of the Lads Bitten Succumbs to the Kabies. BALTIMORE, Mp., Dec. 26.—Conrad Eppers, aged 15, one of the eight boys who were bitten by a mad dog December L and were treated at the Pasteur lnstitute, New York, died of hydrophobia at midnight at his home in Woodbury. Eppers returned from New York a week ago last Wednes- day, and it was thought he was cured his wounds, which were on the back of his neck, had healed nicely. Several days ago he became nervous and despumrdent and unmistakable symptoms of rabies be- came apparent. His physicians were wg’h him almost consiantly to the last, but could do nothing to alleviate his suffer- ings. Eppers was the second victim of the mad dog which ran amuck through the Northern Annex on December 1 and bit eight schoolboys.

But Age Tells and He Fails to Cover the Distance An- ticipated. After Recovering From Weakness He Walks Again and Covers 103 Miles in 24 Hours. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 26.—Edward Payson Weston, the famous old-time pedestrian who started last night in the Ice Palace to show the athletic world that he could go 112 miles, or very near it, within twenty-four hours despite his 58 years, failed to reach the standard. He stopped at 9:56:30 o’clock this evening with 103 miles and two 1aps to his credit, a performance - that is really remarkaole when his age is considered. Few men of balf his years would done as well. The veteran was going like a well-regu- lated machine at 5o clock, being five miles ahead of his schedule, with every prospect of covering a greater distance by several miles than he had set out to tramp. Within fifteen minutes, however, his wonderful strength faltered, a dizziness overpowered him, and he was assisted from the track as weak as a baby. Ready hands worked over him, and soon the wonderful man was up again and asking what it was all about. He resumed his tramp, but at a much slower pace, and he failed to accomplish the task he setout ior himself. R DECLARED THE FIGHT A DRAW.

Since last Christmas I have been quite an invalid from trouble in my chest, with cough, difficulty in breathing and general nerve de- bility. On Monday, Novemuver 30, 1896, I ap- plied for advice at tne Institute. 1 had been ireated by three weil-known medical men of this city without any reilef. Dr. W. K. Vance, at the State Electro-Medical Institute, made a careful examination of my case and pro- nounced it one of Bronchial Asthma. He placed me under a course of electrical treat- ment with medicines combined, and I at once began to pick up,and am now wonderfully improved in hea:th and spirits. .As thisis the first and only relief that I have obtained from istressing complaint, I desire to give the Electro-Medical Institute a public testi- monial.
