The Commission Will Consist of Five Members—How London Journals Regard Salisbury’s Utterance. His Flippancy Criticised. " WASHINGTON, Nov. "IL—The Venezuela commission has authorized the following official statement: “The statement of Lord Salisbury as reported in the morning papers makes it probable that the boundary dispute now pending between Great Britain and Vene- zuela will be settled by arbitration at an early day. Under these circumstances the commission, while continuing its delibera- tions "in the preparation and orderly ar- rangement of many valuable maps, re- ports and documents which have been pro- cured and used in the course of its labors, does not propose to formulate any decision for the present of the matters subject to its examination. It will continue its ses- sions from time to time, but with the hope and ' expectation that a friendly and just settlement of all pending differences between the nations interested will make any final decision on its part unnecessary. ” There is some likelihood that Lord Sal- isbury’s statement last night has been given a broader meaning than it was cal- culated to convey, and this doubtless cc: casioned the reservation in the commis- sion’s announcement. It is to be neted that Lord Salisbury did not make the positive statement. that the centroversy a was settled. Secretary Olney refused to- day to make any statement whatever touching the boundary dispute, but it is known that certain details yet remain to be adjusted before the arbitration“ treaty can be regarded as an accomplished fact. Moreover, it must be borne in mind that any such treaty before becoming effective must be submitted to the United States senate for its approval, and this at least involves a delay of weeks, aside from the possibility of amendments. As by common understanding the limi- tations to be placed upon the arbitration in the consideration of vested British claims have been agreed upon, it is prob- able the more important of the details re- maining to be adjusted relate to the per- sonnel of the arbitration commission and particularly to the means to be adopted to give effect to the decision. The latter always has proved a difficult phase in the negotiation of arbitration treaties and may be expected to require especially delicate handling in a contro- versy involving the fortunes of many in. dividuals‘ as well as important corporate interests and the nationality of'subjects. While Lord Salisbury’s statement is gen- eral and lacking in details, the negotia- tions which have proceeded permit a ready application of the general principles he lays down as to settled districts. Definitely Settled. Lator.—The arbitration of the Venezue- lan dispute is a settled fact. All arrange- ments have been completed and all details of the arbitration treaty between the Unit- ed States and Great Britain arranged. Tho'final terms of the treaty of arbitra- tion were arranged in this city last night. The terms were cabled to London and have been accepted. The treaty covers Venezuela only and does not include a general treaty of arbitration of all future disputes between the two great English speaking nations. This treaty is to be ar- ranged later by future negotiations. The Venezuelan arbitration commission will consist of five arbitrators, two to be named by the United States, two by Great Brit- ain, these four to select the fifth arbitrator. Venezuela. will not be directly represented on the commission. The treaty fixes 50 years’ undisputed possession as the test of conclusive pre- sumption of rightful occupancy of the set- tled districts. British Press Comment. LONDON, Nov. 11.—All of the papers contain editorial references to the Marquis of Salisbury’s speech at the lord mayor’s banquet last night, in which he virtually announced that the question of arbitration of the Venezuela boundary dispute had been settled in accordance with the propo- sition of the United-States. The Graphic says: “The Venezuelan settlement is prac- tical and equitable and is a credit to all concerned. It fully justifies the interven- tion of the United States." The Mail comments as follows: “Now that the United States has met us on such satisfactory terms the arranging of the final settlement will be awaited With quiet confidence. The grave danger of a. fratri- cidal war has been safely passed over. ” The editorial in The Times on the lord mayor’s banquet expresses regret that the change of presidents in the United States will serve to - remove Mr. Bayard, the United States ambassador, from a post he has filled with so much distinction. The Times says further of Lord Salisbury’s speech. “Lord Salisbury omitted to state the details of the Venezuelan settlement, but we believe that it will be found that where 50 years’ British occupancy can be proved arbitration shall be barred.” The Graphic, on the contrary, in refer- ring to the same subject, thinks that 12 years’ occupancy is meant as the limit be- yondwhich arbitration shall be bound. The Chronicle, Liberal, condemns Lord Salisbury for his filppancy in dealingwith the grave Turkish problem. “His Vene- zuelan statement.” adds The Chronicle, “which, momentous as it was. he charac- teristically belittled. is rather puzzling. ‘But we suppose it is all right, and that We shall soon be celebrating our great ur- bitrution treaty with the United States.” The Post, Conservative, regards Lord Salisbury’s statement of the Venezuelan question as wholly satisfactory. The Standard, Conservative. in its edi- torial says: “How far the decision in refer- i. l once to the settled fr'cl, noruela) .implios an abandonm. :. .he :cllom- lburgk line is a detail wnlc. .uller knowl- edge of the lnnal facts will clear up. At present it is enough 10 wloome an adjust- ment of differences which were deeply de- plored on both sides of the Atlantic.” The News, Liberal, arguing from pre- vious decisions of the privy council in co- lonial cases, notably in the Quebec case of MacDonald versus Lambo, supposes that 30 years’ occupation of the settled districts in Venezuela gives title. The News further says regarding the settlement: “ The terms seem perfectly sat- isfactory and involve no surrender of es- sential principle. We suppose that where it is impracticable, owing to the scattered nature of the settlements, to leave the set- tlers inpossession they will be entitled to compensation for the disturbance. ‘ Not the least satisfactory thing about the com- promise is that it will enable both sides to claim a victory. “Lord Salisbury can claim having pI'O- tected the rights of British settlers. Mr. Olney can claim with literal ti‘uth that he has succeeded in bringing Great Britain to arbitration. It is rather disappointing that Lord Salisbury omitted to mention the are bitration treaty. Perhaps the’ matter is still on train and his reticonoe is due to the fact that delicate negotiations are in progress. Why should not a similar settle- ment be made to meet the difficulty on the treaty question—namely, the possi- bility of territorial claims cropping up? Why should not a. treaty extinguish any right or title, real or imaginary, which either power could claim to any territory now possessed-by the other? Lord Salis- bury is entitled to much credit for the present settlement, but the conclusion Will be a greater and more glorious achieve- ment.” An editorial in The Telegraph, Liberal, says: “The terms of the settlement leave the dignity and interests of both countries unimpaired. Mr. Buyard’s graceful utter- ance was a pleasing indication of the sat- isfaction with which his announcement: will be boiled or. both Sides of the Atlan- tic.” THE RELEASE or MRS. CASTLE. Her Husband Takes Her From Prison. To Be Secluded For a. Time. LONDON, Nov. 11.—Mr. Bernard Abra- hams, solicitor for the defense in the case of Mrs. W. M. Castle of San Francisco, who, upon pleading guilty of shoplifting, was sentenced to three months' imprison- ment, received a communication from Sir Matthew W. Ridley, home secretary, say- ing that in consideration of her mental condition and other circumstances Mrs. Castle would be discharged and restored to the care of her husband today. Mr. Castle accordingly went to the Wormwood Scrubbs prison and took his wife away. The receipt of the news of the decision of the home office greatly affected Mr. Castle and had the effect of transforming him from a condition of despondency to a state of contentment and rest. Mr. Castle had scarcely had an hour’s sleep since the unexpected sentence of three months’ lm- prisonment was imposed upon his wife. Mr. Castle, in company with Mr. Abra- hams, went to the home ofiice at midnight to arrange for theliberation of Mrs. Castle as early as possible this morning. All pre- liminary arrangements having been com- pleted, Mr. Castle went to the prison this morning, accompanied by a trained nurse, and Mrs. Castle was at once placed in a carriage and taken away. The physical and mental condition of Mrs. Castle is such as to make her imme- diate sailing for America impossible, and for the present she will be taken' to a quiet English country retreat, where she will be kept absolutely free from excitement. It is officially stated at the home office that after receiving reports on Mrs. Cas- tle’s condition from Dr. Scott, the phy- sician in charge of the hospital at Hollo- way jail, Dr. Patmore of the Wormwood Scrubbs prison and Dr. Nicholson of the Broadmoor Lunatic asylum, all of whom examined the woman physically and men- tally, the home secretary ordered her re- lease, her husband undertaking to convey her back to America with the least possi-. ble delay. ‘ Peru's Catholic Congress.

" ff’o Definite-Promises Made Regarding In Future Policy. SAN FRANCIsco, Nov. 10. —Advices rc- oeived today from Tokyo say: _ “The new Japanese cabinet has made a public declaration of its” policy, but the terms employed are not sufficiently ex- plicit to indicate a practical programme. Suggestions are offered that the ministry inclinqitoward removing all restrictions upon freedom of speech and public meet- ing and even toward acknowledging the necessity of parliamentary support, but no definite premises are made. “What some propagandists of Christian- ity have to endure in China is illustrated by the story of a missionary who, after spending ten months at Si-Ning among the scenes of the Mohammedan rebellion set out to travel with his wife to Lanchow, the capital of Kan-Sn. He mentions inci- dentally that they were glad to get away from Si-Ning, not merely because the long period of strain and excitement spent there had tried their nerves, but also be- cause the place was a ‘veritable dunghill.’ The journey from Si-Ning to Lanchow was a space of nine days. ‘Tho first night, ’ writes the missionary, ‘we [that is to say, he and his wife] shared part of a brick bed with others and had as much room for the four of us as an ordinary sized man would require for himself. Another night we shared a bed with four soldiers, who very kindly crushed together to make room for us.’ , “There is absolutely no truth in the re- port that Japan is lending aid to the Ma- uilla insurgents in their struggle against Spain. “Labor is beginning to take its stand against capital in Japan. There have been several strikes lately, and in every case employers have agreed to the demands of the employed. It is true that the demands have not been excessive in any instance. Indeed the sharp rise in the prices of all commodities that has taken place in Japan during the past year justifies laborers in seeking increased pay. But the conflict, having commenced, is not likely to termi- nate speedily, especially as manufacturers are beginning to be greatly inconvenienced by scarcity of hands. “A company has been formed for the purpose of cutting a canal across from the bay of Osaka. to the sea of Japan. The canal will start from the Suruga on the west coast and having traversed a distance of 13% miles will enter Lake Blwa. From 0tsu,. on the opposite side of the lake, 3 cutting of 91niles will bring the canal to the river Uji, .. hich runs into Osaka bay. Thus the whole cutting will be 22% miles, and the cost 1,250,000 yen. ” Wants It Unanimous For .Platt. NEW YORK, Nov. 10,—Colonel Abe Gruber says that Mr. T. C. Platt will be unanimously elected United States sen- ator to succeed Hill if he .will take the office. “I believe that the few Democrats in the legislature elect will pay him the compliment of making his election unani- mous,” said the colonel. “Mr. Platt has always been a fair fighter against his po- litical opponents, and it would be a nice thing to do for the Democrats to vote for him.” Beaten to Death In a Drunken Row.

Its Accidental ' Discharge Saved the Life of Henry Weiss. AN AWFUL DOUBLE TRAGEDY Rodgers Murdered Si'nith “’ithout. Any Known Provocation and Would Also Have Put an End to Weiss if He Bad Not Dropped His Gun. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Nov. 11.—A tragedy, in which two lives wore lost and which is full ofexciting details, took place at the summer residence of Richard and Augustus Brandes, the wholesale liquor dealers of Forty-second street, New York city. John Rodgers. a caretaker of the Rich- ard Brandes house blew the head of Wil- liam Smith off With a shotgun and then tried to kill Henry Weiss. In doing so he dropped his on. which exploded and killed him ins ntly. The Brandes brothers own handsome residences on Mamaroneck avenue, two miles south of White Plains, which they occupy, with their families, during the summer. Last week’ they returned to their city residences. Richard Brandes’ place was looked after by John Rodgers, while Augustus Brandes’ place was cared for by Henry, Weiss. At an early hour today Rodgers left the house of Richard Brandes, and going over to Augustus’ place, a thousand feet away, entered the cow stables. Where William Smith, one of the hired men, was milk- ing a cow. Rodgers carried a. double bar- reled breechloading shotgun. - What words took place between the two men is not known. Rodgers, after being in the stable only a. couple of minutes, leveled his gun at Smith, fired and nearly blew the top of the latter’s head of? As he did so Henry Weiss, who is night watchman in the house, came out. He had not heard the shot that killed Smith, nnd, it being dark, did not see Rodgers, a hundred feet away. Effort to Avert Suspicion. In the next moment he saw a. flash and heard the gun go off. Rodgers ran up to him, and Weiss remarked: “What the devil are you doing?” Rodgers said: “I fired at a dog. Did the shot come near you?” Rodgers then said one of his horses was cast and asked if Weiss would come over and help him. Weiss then went back to the other Brandes’ place with Rodgers, who had the gun over hislsboulder. They went into the stable and found the horse was all right. They star: 1 to leave the stable, with Weiss in the cad. As they were coming out of the door Rodgers grasped his gr by the barrel and struck Weiss over the back of the head, cutting a deep gash. Weiss was stunned for an instant, but recovering quickly ran out of the barn and down the road screaming murder. He did not stop until he got back to Augustus Brandes’ place, all the time be- ing pursued by Rodgers. Weiss says when he got back to his own place Rodgers ran up excitedly, with the gun still in his hands. Weiss ran around the pumphouse. which is 50 feet back of the main residence. Outside of the building is a water tub 3 feet square and 2 feet deep. When Weiss ran around the pumphouse, Rodgers fol- lowed. Killed by His Own Gun. Rodgers fell against the water tub, dropping the gun in such a. peculiar inan- uer in the tub that it broke at the stock and exploded, the charge entering Rodg- ers’ side. He dropped beside the tub, Where he dfbd in a few minutes. , Captain William Horton, who is em- ployed at the custom house and who lives next to the Brandes brothers. was the first to arrive. He was attracted by the shots. He found Rodgers lying by the pump and still breathing. He summoned med- ical aid, but when the doctor arrived the man was dead. Coroner Birch took charge of the bodies. In Rodgers’ jacket was $20 in bills and one exploded gun shell. As 'three shots were fired and both shells in the gun were emptied, Coroner Birch believes that Rodgers reloaded his gun after killing Smith in the cow stables. No cause can be attributed for Rodgers’ act. He had been employed by Richard Brandes for four' years and had always been sober and industrious. Many incline to the belief that Rodgers became suddenly insane. No 111 feeling is knowu to have existed between Smith and Rodgers, or, in fact, among any Of the many men employed upon the place. Coroner Birch impaneled two juries, and inquests Will be held. The bodies were removed to Lockwood’s undertaking establishment in this village. Clergyman Killed by a Bear.

Following the trail, the dead and lacerated body of the clergyman was found. He had been killed by a hear. The Election In Wyoming.
