KING OSCAR AS ARBITER.
Tho Venezuelan Disputo Likely to
Bo Soon Adjusted.
Fuler of Norway untl Sweden Ono of lrlv
Arbitrators to Settle tho Contro
versyCourt I.lUcly to Sit
nt Stockholm.
Washington, Nov. 11. Tho king- of
Sweden and Norway, Oscar 11., 1ms
been chosen by treaty between tho
United States and Great Britain us tho
fifth ofllclal arbitrator of tho Vene
zuelan boundary question. Tho other
arbitrators, four in number, arc to bo
designated, two by the lord chief jus
tice of England, and two by the chief
justico of tho United States. This is
the i?nal and most important feature
of tho treaty for tho complete adjust
ment of tho long- pending Venezuelan
controversy.
Tho treaty was concluded in Wash
ington Monday night at tho Hritish
embassy, Sir Julian I'auncofoto repre
senting her Britannic majesty and Sec
retary Olneytho United States. When
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian reached
their final conclusions a cablegram was
at once dispatched to Lord Salisbury
notifying him of the result. It reached
him within ono hour of the timo when
ho wVnt on tho platform at Guild hall,
and it was tho basis for his announce
ment to England and tho entiro world
that tho Venezuela controversy was
settled. It was a general announce
ment, without detail and without any
reference to tho personnel of the court
of arbitration. Thus Washington and
Loudon participated in this eventful
scene by which two leading English
, speaking nations reached an amicable
means of adjusting tho most trouble
some international question of recent
years.
As a king seldom leaves his country,
except on ,stato visits to other sover
eigns, it is not expected that King
Oscar II. will go outside of Sweden for
tho arbitrators, and tho court is likely
to sit at Stockholm, the capital of
Sweden, where King Oscar's Swedish
rcksdag arc located. The choice of
King Oscar appears to have been a
most fortunate one, as ho is univer
sally regarded as a man of great at
tainments, of judicial temperament
and of eminent fairness. Among tho
monarchs of Europe he is probably tho
most popular, as he goes freely among
tho people and is thoroughly demo
cratic in his ways.
SALOONMEN NOT BARRED.
A LiOgrtl Decision of Great Interest to Mem
bers of tho A. O. U. W.
St. Louis, Nov. 11. In tho caso of
Joseph Schrempp, who entered suit in
Judge Wood's court for an order to
compel the grand lodge of Missouri
and tho Germania lodge A. O. U. W.,
No. 2, to restoro him to membership,
tho court yesterday issued a peremp
tory writ of mandamus against tho
two lodges, ordering them to restore
Schrempp to membership. Schrempp
has been a member of tho organizations
for tho past 10 years and hold a 83,000
policy. On September 30, 1S95 he
opened a saloon and tho societies
promptly expelled him from member
ship. Tho judgment of tho court in
this caso will attract wide attention
for it, involves tho right of members of
these beneficiary organizations to en
gage in tho liquor business, and sets a
precedent for tho restrictions of such
Hummury ruling as was meted out to
Schrempp.

1804, and it is bolicvcd that wheu the
representatives of tho Canadian gov

they will endeavor to secure reciprocal
legislation along tho linos of that

Nbw Yoitic, Nov. 11. A Herald spe

Cleveland is considering the financial
portion of his message to congress.
Tho president will, as heretofore,
recommend the retirement of tho legal

to tako tho government out of the
banking business and make it impossi
ble for speculators to drain tho treas
ury of gold by means of an endlebe
chain of greenbacks and Sherman
notes, which must be reissued as fast
as they are redeemed. In order to avoid
any contraction of the currency, it

so as to enable tho banks to issue a
larger volume of currency which they
will bo compelled to redeem in gold on
demand.

Tho republican convention held out tho dc

In splto of tho coercion practiced by corpornto

In Its llrst great light, Tho loss of a fow statoa

than It was four months ngo. I desiro
to commend tho work of tho throo
national comraittocs, which havo joined
)n tho management of this campaign.
Co-operntlon b; tho members of distinct
political organizations Is always difficult, but
It wns loss so this year than usual. Iutorost In
n common causo of great choice has reduced
friction to a minimum. I hereby express my
personal grntltudo to tho individual members
as well as to tho uxccutlvo officers of tho na

nnd Rllver parties for their cfllolcnt, untiring
nnd unselfish labors. Thoy havo laid tho foun

cured. No personal or pollticnl friend need griovo
becauso of my defeat. My ambition has been
to secure lmmediato legislation rather than to
enjoy tho honors of office, and, therefore, dofent
brings to mo no feeling of personal loss.
Speaking for tho wlfo who has shared my
labors, as well as for myself, I doslro to say
that wo havo been amply repaid for all that wo
havo done. In the lovo of millions
of our fellow-citizens, so kindly ex

contnet with tho pcoplo and In brondenod sym

cvor efforts wo hare put forth. Our hearts
havo been touched by devotion of friends, and
our lives shall provo our appreciation of tho
affection of tho plain people, an affection which
wo prize as tho richest reward which this cam
paign has brought.
In tho face of nn enemy rojoleing in its vic

Until convinced of his orror, let each nd

Lot all silver clubs retain their organi

BUTLER'S MANIFESTO.
Tlio I'opullst National Chairman's OfTlclnl
AdilreHs to UN l'arty.
Washington, Nov. 0. Senator Hut
lor, of North Carolina, chairman of tho
populist national committee, hns is
sued tho following manifesto:
To the pooiilo of tho United Stntcs: In the
remarkable campaign Just closed tho people's
party wns tho only party that supported solidly
nnd unitedly tho great and vital Issues repre
sented In tho candidacy of Mr. Ilrynn. This
wns natural, for tho pooplo's party camo Into
oxlstonou to bring to tho front and to press to
victory tho principles of Lincoln nnd Jefferson,
already long discarded by tho two old parties.
Tho money power feeling reasonably nuro of
Its control nnd domination of tho lenders nnd
tho controlling Inlluenccs In tho ropubllcan
party, In I89J gavo Its support to tho candi
dacy of Orovor Cleveland for tho cspcolnl pur
poso of having him, through tho uso of patron
age nnd othorwlso, crush out tho silver senti
ment In tho south nnd mnko tho loadors In that
party ns comolotoly subservient us thoso In
tho ropubllcnn parly. To accomplish this pur
poso four cablnot ministers wcro sclented from
tho south nnd nn unusually largo nmount of
patronngo used on political lenders to tho Namo
end. It will bo remembered thnt Mr. Cleve
land demanded that tho democratic souators
and congressmen glvo adeolslvo voto In tho In
terests of tho gold standard before ho would
eloign to glvo out tho post ofllccs. This deop
laid plan might havo succeeded had not tho
pooplo's party at this juncture sprung Into ox
Istcneo, exposed tho plot, stood In tho broach
and appeulod to tho patriotic hosts of both
partial to check tho Rohomo of tho pooplo's
despotic and rully to tho common dctonso.
Tho people's ptrty with a high patriotism
nnd nn unselfish dovotlon to principle, greater
than ovor before exhibited by any other party,
stopped outsldo of Its organization to throw
Its '.7)00,00 J votes solidly for llryan. Ilnd not
moro than this numbor of thoso who called
themselves democrats In If'Ji given their sup
port to Mr. McKlniey. tho causo of tho pcoplo
nnd American principles would havo tri
umphed this year. This class will surely sup
port tho party of monopolies nnd trusts In tho
futuro. Their places in tho rnnks of tho reform
hosts must bo taken by patriotic republicans.
In fact, Ilrynn would havo been elected In this
contest had even "uoj moro silver republicans
como to tho rescue.
Tho election of MoKlnloy and tho triumph of
tho gold standard does not express tho doslros
and sentiments of tho people. Tho majority
opposo tho policy for which ho ntands and will
so voto whouovcr an opportunity Is presented
fori; proper nllgnmont. Tho romarkablo and
brilliant campaign of William Jonnings llryan
would havo aligned theso forcos nnd marohod
them to triumphant victory If any candidate
or lender In America could havo dono so under
tho democratic banner.
Tho ndmlnlstratlon of MclClnloy cannot
bring prosperity to tho Amcrlcnn pcoplo. Tho
mills cannot bo kept open, idlo labor given em
ployment nnd general prosperity restored and
maintained until tho wealth producers receive
fair returns for their labor nnd thus aro en
abled to purchase Tho gold standard nnd
monopoly rulo, to a continuation of which Mr.
McKlnloy stands plodgod, moans four
moro ycar3 of falling prices, four
moro years of lookouts nnd strikes,
four moro yenrs of reduced wnges and Idlo
labor This will causo tho patrlotlo rank
and lllo of tho ropubllcnn party to condemn
and repudiate MoKlnloylstn as tho patriotic
rank and lllo of tho domocrntlo party has con
demned and repudiated Clovclindlsm. lean
not bcllovo otherwise, for I havo not loss con
lldcnco In tho patriotism of this class of repub
licans than tho rank and lllo of the democratic
party has already demonstrated.
Therefore a largo per cent, who, though not
fooled by tho specious pious of "honostmonoy"
nnd promised prosperity, yet who would not In
this campaign fight under tho democratic ban
ner, will surely join hands with tho majority
of tho American votors outsldo of tho old par
ties to overthrow a governmont of trusts nnd
monopolies run In tho interest of foreign capi
talists. Tho pooplo's party hns mado this posslblo
in fuct inevitable. Tho position of tho peo
ple's party In this great contest hns convinced
ovory patrlotlo American that tho party can bo
trusted to stnnd for tho principles of good gov
ernment nnd tho interests of tho pcoplo under
uny nnd nil circumstances. Thuroforo. tho
pooplo's party wilt bo tho nucleus around
which tho patrlotlo hosts must and will gather
to redeem a botrayod ropubllo and to restore
prosperity to nn oppressed and outraged peo
