    THE MEN ARE NAMED.
THE VENEZUELA COMMISSION
DECIDED UPON.
Jndr Brewer la Chairman of the Same
The Others are Illchard I Oluey, An
drew D. White, Frederick K. Coadert
nd Daniel O. Gilman Political Com
plexion of the Men Named.
Waphhtotow, Jan. 3. President
Cleveland has announced the appoint
ment of the Venezuelan bonndary
ommission, as follows:
David J. Brewer of Kansas, justice
United States Supreme court.
Richard IT. Alvey of Maryland, chief
justice of the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia.
Andrew D. White of New York.
Frederick R. Condert of New York.
Daniel C. Gilman of Maryland.
The commission is regarded here as
very satisfactory one, whose opin
ions and conclusions will be received
by the American public with that con
fidence which the standing of the
Bembcn, of the commission in the
public eye inspires.
Justice Brewer is a Republican in
politics, and about fifty-eight years of
ae. He is a graduate of Yale, and
has spent considerable time in the
practice of his profession in Kansas,
where he filled a number of judicial
oflices. In 1584 he was appointed
Circuit court judge of the United
States for the Eighth district and was
appointed associate justice of the Su
preme court in December, 18S9, by
Pre-iilent Harrison.
Richard II. Alvey is a Democrat in
politics and a man of marked legal
ability. It was the great reputation
be gained as jude in the Maryland
courts which led 1'resident Cleveland
In the absence of political influence on
Judg-e Alvey's part, to appoint him to
the position of chief justice of tha
Court of Appeals of this district. He
Ls about sixty years of age.
Andrew D. White is a Republican in
politics. He is one of the best known
men of letters in this country, and
perhaps in the world; is an author and
historian and has been the president
of Cornell university. Mr. White was
appointed minister to Russia by Presi
dent Harrison and this position he
held through Harrison's administra
tion and for a year or more during
Mr. Cleveland's administration.
Frederick R. Coudert is a Democrat
In politics and is one of the best known
members of the bar in New York. Mr.
Coudert was one of the counsel for the
United States on the Behriug sea com
mission, and in that capacity made
one of the most eloquent and effective
peeches delivered in behalf of the
American contentions.
The last named member of the com
mission, Daniel C. Gilman, president
of .Johns Hopkins university, is well
known as an authority in internation
al law. He was at one time president -of
the University of California, and
was later called to take up the work
of the organization of the university
of which he is now at the head. He is
the author of a life of President Mon
roe. Mr. Gilman has never figured
prominently in politics. At the White
houe it is stated that he has no poli
tics, but his proclivities are under
stood to be Republican The two
great parties, it will be seen, are
equally represented on the commis
sion, with the fifth member having no
outspoken politics.
All of the above named persons will
accent the places to which they have
been appointed and are expected to
assemble in Washington as soon as
practicable, with a view to taking
the oat i and entering upon their work.
The appointments are made in com
pliance with a resolution of Congress
passed at the request of President
Cleveland, and the work of the com
missioners will be to examine and
collect evidence with a view to deter
mining the true divisional line be
tween Venezuela and British Guiana.
The conclusion reached by the com
mission will be reported to the Presi
dent for his information in connection
with any further representations and
communications that may be made by
this government to Great Britain in
connection with the boundary line dis
pute between the latter country and
Veneznelr
PAINTER BLAIRS SAD END.
Formerly Famous and Wealthy, He Died
in a Home for Incurables.
Chicago, Jan. 3. John B. Blair,
born in 1900, and once famous and
wealthy, died yesterday at the home
for incurables. Blair was a famous
painter a half century ago. His skill
is attested bv the fact that his portrait
of Piesident Taylor is in the White
house gallery. lie was one of the first
painters of war panoramas and the
first to paint any great panorama
in this country. His first was
a picture of birds of all the world,
end to accomplish this work he
circled the globe twice. He was
the inventor of the silk bag gas bal
loon, such as aeronauts of to-day em-
Sloy. and fifty years ago invented a
ieyeleon the same lines asthepresent
safety. He added half a million of
wealth to a well known pencil manu
facturer by inventing the rubber tips
for pencils. He painted landscapes of
foreign countries and pictures of sheep
in almost endless numbers, and his
auction -sales of these were annual
events in art circles ajquarter of a cen
tury ago. Five years ago he was
stricken with paralysis and three years
later became blind and also lost the
strength of his mind. He was then
placed in the home for incurables.

That Zlne Smelter Deal.
Sf.dat.ia, Mo., Jan. 3. Robert IT.
Lanyon, who returned from Chicago
yesterday, says the syndicate plans
for the purchase of all the zinc smel
ters in this section have not been con
summated, but that his ten furnace
smelter at this place and those of the
Lanyon Foundry at Pittsburg, jan.,
hare been sold to the syndicate. He
will give possession in about forty
days It is presumed that the new
owners will continue the works here,
as they have ordered suspended fur
naces to be repaired ior immediate
use.
ENGLAND THE BULLY.
fiffnlflcMt Remarks Made Recently by
Tenesaela Commissioner Coadert.
Washington-, Jan. 3. Frederick R.
Coudert is the only one of the commis
sioners, who, in advance of his ap
pointment, expressed an opinion on
the boundary controversy. Mr. Cou
dert, while the country rang with the
Venezuela message, took occasion to
express his views of England. Now
that he is a commissioner they become
significant and are presented as he
gave them some days ago:
England has been the bully of the
world. Her policy has been one of
aggression. She holds Gibraltar and
by that means has Spain by the throat.
When France was tied up with Ger
many, England seized Egypt, as she
had practically seized Cyprus. In the
event of trouble between this country
and JCngland, France would sweep into
Egypt and Russia would march upon
Constantinople. England, of course,
is responsible for the Armenian masa
ores. England will not permit Russia
to seise Constantinople and wipe the
unspeakable Turk off the face of the
earth, therefore thousands of Chris
tians must suffer death. John Bull
has no friends and Uncle Sam has no
enemies. If there should be trouble
between America and England the
sympathy of all Europe would be with
us and the hand of every European
nation would be raised against Eng
land. The English government ap
preciates its friendliness and helpless
ness. Because of that fact there will
be no war. If war should come, the
map of Europe would be recast and
perhaps the map of Asia, too."
A JUDGE KILLS A FOOTPAD
lust Ice Blame nf Chicago Roats Two
Attacking: ThieTes.
Chicago, Jan. 3. Justice Jarvis
Illume of the West Chicago Avenue
police station was passing underneath
the Alley 'L" structure at Thirteenth
street at 1:30 o'clock this morning on
his way home in company with his
daughter May, when two masked men
attacked the magistrate. One of them
threw his arms about Mr. Blume's
neck and tried to strangle him; the
other made an attempt to find his
pocketbook.
Making a feint to assist the robbers,
Rlume drew his revolver and fired.
One man uttered a cry of pain and fell
with blood streaming from a wound
in his abdomen. Before the police ar
rived the man was dead.
When the man fell Justice Blume
turned his revolver upon the other,
who was making haste to escape.
None of the bullets took effect.
After the shooting Justice Blnme
and his daughter went to the Harrison
street police station and told what had
occurred. The patrol wagon was sent
out at once and the man found dead.
The body was taken to the morgue.
Among the papers in his pocket was a
vaccination certificate made out to
John Kelly.
FREE COINAGE.
Silver Men Are Preparing: a Mennrs to
Supersede the Bond Rill.
WASHJJfGTOX. Jan. 3. The Senate
bill finance committ adjourned at 12:30
until to-morrow. No action was taken
and no vote was had. The bond bill
was discussed, but the tariff bill was
not taken up. Senator White and
Wolcott were not present.
Senator Vest was not present so the
silver men and anti-silver men were a
tie. It is understood that the inten
tion of the silver men is to report
either a free coinage substitute or
amendment to the bond bill, probably
an amendment. After the regular
meeting of the committee the Repub
lican members held a conference in
the committee room and the Demo
crats conferred in the district commit
tee room. Senator Jones, Populist,
of Nevada, went with the Democrats
at the conference. The silver men
have unanimously decided to insist
upon an amendment in the nature of
an entire substitute providing for free
coinage of silver and the elimination
of all authority for the issuance of
bonds. Senator Jones of Arkansas
was delegated to prepare a message in
accordance with these views to be sub
mitted to a full meeting of the com
mittee as soon as it cen be completed.
SIX LIVES LOST IN A FIRE.
The Home of a Wealthy Ohloan Iturned
Five Narrowly Kscape.
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. C. At 4 o'clock
this morning the heme of John II,
Hibbard was discovered to be on fire.
Mr. and Mrs. Hibbard, their son,
Allen, aged 5, and baby, Dorothy, Miss
Fay Hibbard and Mrs. Grace Hibbard

Mr. Hibbard was secretary of tho
Central Ohio Natural Gas and Fuel
Company and was related by marriage
with the Deshlers, Huntingtons and
other of the wealthiest families of
Columbus. Four sons, less than 18
years of age, and the colored servant
narrowly escaped by jumping from
second-story windows.
A Resubmission Newspaper.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 3. Simon
Greenspan, who married the widow of
Allen B. Sells, the wealthy ex-circus
man, is seeking to establish a resub
mission daily paper in Topeka. The
movement has not assumed definite
form yet, and will not be carried into
effect unless the National Liquor
Association will subscribe liberally.
Greenspan is a pronounced opponent
of prohibition, and thinks the oppor
tunity is now ripe to begin a resub
mission campaign.
Colorado Produces More Gold Than Silver,
Denver, Colo., Jan. 3. For the first
time in the history of the State the
gold output for the year just closed
exceeded in value that of silver. The
most carefnl computation of the min
eral cutput for the year from the sta
tistics attained shows the following:
Gold, 517,340,495; silver, 314,259,049;
lead, $2,955,1 14; copper, 5377,492; total,
$35,432,160. For 1894 the output was:
Gold, $11,235,506; silver, $14,721,750;
lead, $3,268,613; copper, $767,420; total,
$29,993,290. The increase in the gold
production is almost wholly from the
Cripple Creek district
THAT GOLD RESERVE.
SHERMAN SAYS IT WAS IM
PROPERLY USED.
A Resolution Introduced Demanding
i Restoration of the Reserve to SlOO,-
OOO.OOO and Requiring Its Maintenance
at That Figaro Pablic Credit Injured
"Other Matters in the Upper Iloose.
Proceedings In the Senate.
Washis-qtoh, Jan. 1. Senator Sher
man of Ohio introduced in the Senate
to-day the following: "Resolved,
That by injurious legislation by the
Fifty-third Congress, the revenues
of the government were reduced below
its necessary expenditure and the
funds created for lawful redemption
of United States notes have been in
vaded to supply such deficiency of
reserve; that such a misapplication of
the resumption fund is of doubtful
legality and greatly injurious to the
public credit and should be prevented
by restoring said fund to the sum of
not less than $100,000,000 in gold ooin
or bullion, to be paid out only in the
redemption of United States notes and
Treasury notes, and such notes, when
redeemed, to be re-issued only in ex
change for gold coin or bullion."
When the Senate met Mr. Perkins,
Republican, of California asked unan
imous consent for the consideration of
a resolution directing the committee
on finance to report an amendment to
the House tariff bill laying an addi
tional duty on raw sugar equal to the
other increases of the bill.
Mr. Berry of Arkansas objected.
It was agreed to adjourn over till
Friday.
Mr. Morrill of Vermont explained
that the finance committee desired to
consider the bond and tariff bills on
Thursday.
Mr. Chandler's resolution, offered
yesterday, asking the committee on
naval affairs to investigate the prices
paid by the government for armour
plate aud as to whether any official of
the government was interested in
patent processes, was called up. At
the suggestion of Mr. Gorman the
words directing an inquiry into the
facts as to whether the priees paid by
the United States were "as low as
paid by the foreign governments"
were stricken out.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Seeruian then introduced his
resolution, which was listened to with
keen interest, in view of the Senator's
utterances against the retirement of
greenbacks. He gave notice that on
Friday he would submit some remarks
upon it. LZl
Mr. Mitchel of Oregon then took the
floor and spoke in favor of his resolu
tion instructing the finance committee
to restore the McKinley duties on
wool in any revenue bill reported to
the Senate.
Senator Mitchell declared that no
industry had received such a stagger
ing and deadly legislative blow as that
inflicted upon the wool industry by
the Wilson tariff act. It had drained
from the United States within the last
year $S5,000,U0(j in gold to pay for for
eign wool, and had occasioned a loss
tothe wool growers of this country of
more than 1,000,000. Unless this leg
islation was changed the sheep indus
try of the Pacific coast would be an
nihilated. Mr. Mitchell said the tariff bill
passed by the House would probably
increase the revenue $40,000,000 a year.
Amended, as it should be, by afford
ing wool, lumber, barley, hops, and
other agricultural products adequate
protection it will give an additional
revenue of S00,o0o,000, and place a
padlock upon the so-called "endless
chain" by which gold is drawn from
the treasury, will stop all necessity
for further Issue of bonds and rescue
from impending ruin the wool and
other agricultural interests of this
country.
While Mr. Mitchell was contending
that the Secretary of the Treasury
could have stopped the gold drains by
using his discretion to redeem notes in
coiner. Hill of New York asked him
if it was not true that greenbacks had
been redeemed in gold by every secre
tary since 1S79.
Mr. Mitcheil replied that it might
be true, but in his opinion it was very
poor policy.
Treasury notes have only been re
deemed in gold since 1891," interrupt
ed Mr. Cockrell of Missouri.
Is that a fact?" asked Mr. Mitchell.
"It is," replied Mr. Cockrell, em
phatically. "In 1S23 in response to a
telegram sent by me to Secretary Fos
ter he replied that the first treasury
note had been redeemed by him in
gold in 1891."
"1 am talking about greenbacks,"
said Mr. II ill.
"Have not all the Secretaries of the
Treasury redeemed these notes in gold
ince 1S7'J?"
"Greenbacks were never presented,"
said Mr. Cockrell.
There was no demand for gold and
that can be shown on the record. The
Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) since
that time proposed to redeem and re
tire every one of those greenbacks
with silver dollars and his amendment
to that effect is here on record, in
which he proposes to substitute for
the greenbacks silver notes.
In answer to Mr. Hill, Mr. Cockrell
said he did not know whether Secre
tary Foster had redeemed greenbacks
in gold.
"You said it had not been done."
"Not on demand," said Mr. Cockrell.
"I repeat that no Secretary of the
Treasury until October, 1891, ever
yielded the option to the holders of
United States notes."
'But United States notes were re
deemed in gold.'
"Not at the option of the holder.
The option was never given the holder
until 1891."
Gamblers Leaving Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. I. As a result of the
continued and pe iistent raids which
the police, under the peremptory
orders of Chief Badenoch, have been
making on the gambling houses in
festing South Clark and neighboring
streets, fifty-one gamblers pleaded
cuiltv this morning before Justice
i Bradley and received the minimum
i penalty of $5 and costs each. Orders
, have been issued to arrest every gam
. bier seen on the streets on the charge
j of vagrancy, and it has resulted in a
i general exodus of the "tin horn"
fraternity.
MORGAN GETS THE BONDS. ,
He Hai Received Applications tot
8150.000,000.
Miw Tobk, Jan. 1. Bankers in this
city who are in close touch with the
administration express' their opinion
that the announcement regarding the
government bond issue will be made
not later than Thursday. The details
of the contract with the syndicate
will closely conform to those of the
previous issue. The loan is expected
to be for $100,000,000. with an option
on an additional $100,000,000. The
arrangements in the present instance
do not provide for any guarantee by
the syndicate as in the last issue.
Formal applications for allotments
of the loan were received to-day
by J. P. Morgan & Co.
Gossip from Berlin is that part cf the
loan will be placed in Germany.
Domestic applications alone In this
city will aggregate 150,000.000.
Washington, Jan. 1. The Evening
Post says: "A contract was signed
this afternoon by all the members of
the new bond syndicate, subject to the
formal acceptance of the government'
The syndicate agrees to furnish 11,
000,000 onnces of gold, amounting to
about $200,000,000 in Rold, the govern
ment to take one-half of this sum first
and to have the option of taking the
other half and to deliver four per cent
thirty year coin bonds at about the
same price as paid for the last issue of
bonds; the managers of the syndicate
to receive a commission of one per
cent. The price at which the last
bonds were taken was 104.49. at which
they yielded 3JX per cent interest."
London, Jan. 1. Mr. Burns of
Thomas Morgan & Co., said: "None
of the new issue of bonds will be
floated in London, owing to the
strained relations between the United
States and Great Britain. The situa
tion looWs graver than ever this morn
ing from a commercial point of view.
This is partly on account of Senator
Sherman's position. The affair has
made a wonderful difference in the
business between London and New
York and will result in the with
drawal of most of the American secur
ities from England. We are sending
home daily large quantities of these
securities which were thrust upon the
market. Some of the new bonds will
probably be placed in Germany, but this
has not yet been decided. In my
opinion our American copatriots have
gone mad."
SENATE RE-ORGANIZATION
Republican Disclaim Responsibility for
Legislation.
Washington, Jan. 1. A two hour's
debate followed the adoption of the
resolution organizing the Senate com
mittees on the Republican caucus ba
sis, as already reported, the purpose
of which was mainly political. The
Democrats, under the leadership of
Senator Gorman, ably seconded by
Senator Harris, attempted to show
that the reorganization was effected
by an alliance between the Republic
ans and Populists, contending that the
silence of the latter, by making possi
sible the reorganization, indicated ac
quiescence, lie also insisted that the
Republican assumption of control sad
dled them with the responsibility for
legislation.
The Populists, led by Senator Allen '
of Nebraska and Senator Butler of
North Carolina, denied that tbey were
in any fashion responsible for the re
sult. The Republicans, under the
leadership of Senator Mitchell, chair
man of the Republican steering com
mittee, and assisted by Senators Hoar,
Hale, Allison and Chandler, combatted.
the arguments of the Democrats by
asserting most emphatically that the
Populists had even refused to make
any suggestions as to their committee
assignments, and had, as a matter of
fact, been left by the reorganization
in the positions to which they had
been assigned under the Democratic
control of the Senate. The Republi
cans strongly protested also against
being held responsible for legislation.
Amendment to the Bond Dill.
Washington, Jan. 1. Senatoi
ones, of Arkansas, presented an
amendment which he proposes to offer
to the house bond bill. It provides
that any holder of silver bullion who
is a citizen of the United States, may
tender the same to the Secretary of
the Treasury and have it coined into
silver dollars. the seigniorage to be the
difference between the coinage value
and the market price of the bullion in
New York; for the cancellation of all
bank notes less than $10; directing the
Secretary of the Treasury to coin the
silver bullion in the treasury into
silver dollars, to be used in redeeming
the treasury notes issued for the pur
pose of purchasing silver bullion under
the Sherman act; and, for the redemp
tion of the greenbacks in either gold
or silver, and for their reissue accord
ing to the provisions of the act of 1878.
Conditional Pardons In Kansas.
Topeka, Kan. Jan. 1. Attorney
General Dawes yesterday gave an
opinion that the governor has a right
to grant pardons upon conditions.
The question came up over the cus
tom established of the governor par
doning joint keepers upon condition
that they leave the state. The Pro
hibitionists protest upon the ground
that such action is illegal. The gov
ernor referred the matter to the
attorney general with the result as
stated.
A Nevr Trial for Stephenson.
New York, Jan. 1. The J general
term of the Supreme court has re
versed the judgment and ordered a new
trial m the case of Police Captain John
L. Stephenson, who was convicted, of
accepting bribes and sentenced to a
term of three years and nine month's'
imprisonment and a fine of $1,000 as a
result of the Lexow investigation.
Two Thousand Cattle Drowned.
Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 1. J. II. Van
tine, a prominent cattleman from the
Osage reservation, says that hundreds
of head of cattle and horses were
drowned in the swollen streams here
the past week, entailing- ruinous losses
on many stockmen. Over the line in
the Cherokee nation, he says, it is
still worse, C. Ileyden alone" having
00 cattle drowned in Grande river,
Joel Bryan 200 head and Jack Riley
100, with scores of smaller losses,
bringing the number of cattle drowned
in that section in excess of 2,000
THE HORSELESS VEHICLE
General Miles Considering Its Utility In
Army Use Would lie a Great Saving?.
Washington, Jan. 1. Gen. Miles is
now making a study of the horseless
vehicle, with a view to determining its
utility in army use. The idea is to
use it for the army trains. At each
of its forty-one military posts our
army employs two or more wag
ons, prescribed by the Quartermaster
.General. The larger, the six-mule
wagon, is for transporting army sup
plies to and from railroad stations on
the frontier posts. The other, known
as the escort wagon, is pulled by two
or four mules. It is used in the more
thickly settled regions, for the same
purpose, as well as for official errands
Those wagons have been used in the
army since the war, with but little
alteration. The horseless vehicle, if
feasible, would be a big improvement
over them. Besides, it would be a
great saving.
Our small army of 25,000 men em
ploys 9,500 horses and mules for uses
of the cavalry and artillery and for
general drafting purposes. The aver
age cost of these for the last fiscal
year, for instance, ranged from $95 to
$168 each, the cavalry horses costing
the least, even less than the Govern
ment mules, and draft horses the most.
Thus the array makes a great outlay
each year, not only for purchasing
horses, but for keeping them well fed
and groomed.
COPPINGER'S PROMOTION.
Ills Nomination to Be a Brigadier Still
neld Up.
Washington, Jan. 1. The nomina
tion of Colonel Coppinger to be briga
dier general of the army is still held
up in the Senate. There is a hard
fight being made against his nomina
tion. This fight is being conducted by
the A. P. A. The most serious ob
jection to the distinguished soldier is
that he is a Catholic in religion and
when a young man served in the Pope's
zouaves.
Coppinger came to this country in
1860, entered the Union army, served
with distinction throughout tho civil
war, has been wounded several times,
and received a commission in the reg
ular service and in the natural order
of things reached the command of his
regiment and was nominated by the
President to the grade of brigadier
general. Colonel Coppmger's wife was
the eldest daughter of the late James
G. Blaine, and it is said that one of the
reasons for the serious break between
the Blaine and Harrison families was
the refusal of President Harrison to
promote Coppinger to brigadier gen
eralship when requested to do so by
Mrs. Biaine Last summer, when a
vacancy occurred in the grade of
brigadier general, Piesident Cleveland
promoted Coppinger.
A Modern William Tell.
Hot Sprikgs, Ark., Jan. 1. "Ari
zona Charley," who enjoys the distinc
tion of having conducted a week of
bull fighting at Cripple Creek, Col., in
spite of the opposition of the local
authorities and the governor, was acci
dentally shot and painfully wounded
last evening. He had too much con
fidence in the marksmanship of a
friend, whom he requested to shoot a
snow bail from the top of his head.
The friend's nerve was bad and
Charley received a painful wound in
the forehead.
Small Operator Eear IC
Carthage, Mo., Jan. 1. Consider
able interest is manifested here as to
the probable outcome of the great
zinc combine. As its workings can
yet only be guessed, those interested
do not feel at liberty to express them
selves. The impression among many
miners and operators is that the re
sult will be simply to choke out of
existence all small enterprises and to
prevent any further efforts toward the
building of any additional smelting;
works in this section.

Denied From Washington.
Washington, Jan. 1. The report
that Iowa Indians have leased IvnnO
' acres of land from the Kaw tribe, in
tending to live off the rental of their
allotted lands to whites, is disputed
oy maian omciais. ah leases made
by or with Indians require the ap
proval of the Indian bureau, and In
dians cannot abandon their allotments
and move onto reservation lands only
by authority of an act of Congress.
This action has never been allowed
and the Indian bureau will not author
txe it now.
The Jadre't Musical Instrument.
A new typewriter story comes from
India. It appears that one of the Eng
lish judges in India was an expert on
the machine, and it occurred to him to
use it for the making of judicial notes.
The machine was conveyed into court,
when a certain novelty was imparted
to the proceedings by the click of the
keys and the tinkle of the bell which
indicated that a line had beeD com
pleted The prisoner was found guilty
and sentenced. Promptly he appealed,
on the ground that, instead of listen
ing to the evidence, the judge had
whiled away his time by playing on a
musical instrument. This was a tech
nicality as well as a typewriter, and
quite a good enough reason for a bad
man to get a new trial.
