WAfliiiMnTos, Jan. 17. Tho demo cratic national convention will bo hold nt the city of Chicago on July 7. That was tho decision reached yesterday by tho national doinocratio committee nftcran Interesting and at tlmos ex citing Nossion which continued until 21 o'clock last night. Thero was considerable difference of opinion as to the timo for holding tho convention, ono proposition advanced by Allen W. Thurman, of Ohio, who held tho proxy of tho Now Mexico member, being to hold it Juno 2, two weeks before tho republican conven tion, and tho other by Hugh Wallace, of Washington state, to hold It July 7. Tho committee decided upon tho latter date by a voto of 33 to 18. Tho main interest, of courso, contered in choico of the convention city. For this honor there were four applicants, Chicago, HL Louis, Cincinnati and New York. Thirty minutes was allowed each city in which to present its claims. Tho HpccchcH made by distinguished citi zens In each instance were of a high order of excellence, and, at times, aroused the greatest enthusiasm. The balloting began about seven o'clock lastcvoning,nud from tho first a long and bitter struggle was Indicated. The first ballot rosultod: Chicago, (5; Cincinnati, 11; St. Louis, 19; Now York, 14. There was practically no chnngo except an r.llght fluctuations of a vote or two until tho tenth ballot, when Chicago began gradually to increaso her vote at tho expeuso of Now York. At tho 20th ballot Now York's strength was rapidly disintegrating, her voto going almost bodily to Chicago, But St. Lou In, which had tenaciously citing to Iter 19 votes, also captured several of Cincinnati's votes and on the ballot before tho last lod Chicago !y ono voto. On the last ballot, tho 20th, which was taken nhortly boforo 11 o'clock, tho four remaining votes of Now York worn thrown to Chicago and sho ob tained the necessary plurallty,tho voto standing: Chicago, 20; St. Louis, 21; Now York, 0; Cincinnati, 1.

Tho Comptroller Glvos II In Vlown nt n CM- cngo UlllUlUllt. CmcrAoo, Jan. 17. Comptroller James II. Eckels spoke lust night at tho annual banquet of tho real estate board on "Our Curroncy Systom." Ho said in part: "Nowhere, in any nation, whether of great or little powor, Is there to be found a curroncy aud finan cial system so iuadequuto for tho pur poses to bo accomplished as that of tho United States. It presents in Its cir culation featuro tho singular spectacle of nine different kinds of currency, all except two being directly or indi rectly dependent upon tho crodlt of the United States. Tho troasury de partment established by it Is tho great est banking institution in tho laud, clothed with tho least powors of solf preservation and beneficial actian." He discussed particularly tho "green back, element" of tho systom, citing it "because tho harm which It is doing must be manifest to all; becauso ovory bond issue made to presorvo tho gold reserve in tho treasury bears testi mony to tho oxponso of it to tho tax payer, and every measure introduced In congress to cancel tho indebted ness which it represents, or prevent tho too great rapidity and repetition of the presenting of it for redemption proclaims its hnrmfulnoss. It would bo foolish to undortako to conceal that the source of our dlilicultlosliosin the fear that tho United States cannot in the face of existing laws mulutaiu the gold standard as Its unit of valuo. "The legal tender issues of tho gov ernment ought and must bo rodeomed and retired if tho American people are to be rid of tho recurring dangor and loss arising from their being a part of our currency issues. It is assorted that when tire rovenuos of tho govern ment exceed tho necessary expendi tures bond issues will cease and no furthcrtroublo follow. Tho difllculty, however, goes boyond tho question of revenue and touches the vital point in trenching upon thoconfldonco of thoso dealing with us in our ability to always pay these obligations in gold. Com plete confldenco cannot be rostored by simply increasing tho govornmontal income, but oven if it could, thero would be no guaranteo against future impairment of it through tho same cause. There Is but ono road to abso lute safety and that lies through their payment and cancellation. When that cud is accomplished wo will havo done much to rid the people of tho boliof now entertained, that in the Hat of tho government is soino magic power which, from nothing can bring forth somethiugof intrinsic value." til Kiehth Daughter to Marry.

Tho Trouble Likely to Uo Terminated In n .SiUlsfiM-tory IMuuner to All Concerned. Washington1, Jan. 17. Aside from tho leiiurely manner in which tho Venezuelan commission is arranging to prosecuto its work, there are other indications that tho administration hus becomo convinced that this august body will not havo tho honor of settling tho great boundary dis pute. Whllo it cannot bo stated pos itively that this belief is based en tirely upon any specific reports from Ambassador Ilayard upon tho sub ject, yet thero is reason to boliove some assurances of a satisfactory nature have come to the state depart ment that the matter will bo termi nated shortly, and upon linos that will be unobjectionable to our government. It is bolieved that tho basis of it will bo arbitration, as proposed originally by tho United States, but with a limit ation that will sufilco at least to save British prido and appear to maintain British consistency. This is likely to bo found in an utrreomcut between Great Britain and Venezuela directly, brought about through tho good ofilccs of a third parti', not necessarily or probably tho United States, to submit to a joint commission tho question of tho title to all territory west of tho Schomburgk line, with a proviso that if, in tho courso of tho inquiry of tho commis sion, evidence appears to touch the British title to the lands lying to tho eastward of that line, then tho body nuiv extend its functions to adjudicuto such title.
