THE VENEZUELAN COMMISSION
May Be Followed by an Inter?
national Conference.
Bill Introduced In Congress Authorising
the President to Invite tbe Other
American Bepobilco to Send Plenipo?
tentiaries to Washington For the Ac?
ceptance or the Monroe Dootrlne?Pro?
ceedings of tbe Honie Yesterday.
Washington, Doo. 83.?Now that
Congress has noted upon the President's
suggestion In tho appointment of the
Veni zuelaa commission It is believed
that Secretary Olney will formally
acknowledge the receipt of Lord Salis?
bury's two notes, this perhaps, as a mat?
ter ot courtesy to advise the British
goveromont of the course which this
Government Intends to pursue, supple?
menting it, perhaps, by a request for in?
formation from the British foreign
office respecting the boundary line.
Representative Beaah, of Ohio, to?
morrow will Introduce tbo following
bill authorizing the President to call an
international conference:
"Be It enacted that the Presldoat of
tho United States be and is hereby
autborizad to Invite tho governments of
other American republics to appoint
plenipotentiaries with full powers to
meet In conference in the city of Wash?
ington within ono year from tho ap?
proval of this act, for the formal accept?
ance and declaration of tbo Monroe
doctrine as a principal of International
law.
"Section 2. That any government
may appoint as many plenipotentiaries
as It may elect, but in the determina?
tion ot questions before tbe conference
no governmant shall have moro than
one vote.
"Section 3. That tho President be and
ho is hereby authorized to designate the
Secretary of State as plenipotentiary on
tho ptrt of tha United States, and that
the sum of 850,000, or so much thereof
as may bo necessary, be appropriated
out of the moneys in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated, for the payment
ot the expenses of said conference; and
that the same shall bo disbursed under
the direction ot the President in accord?
ance with Sec. 291 of the revised stat?
utes."
Ia official clrcleB there is tho great?
est reticence as to the plans for naming
the Venezuelan commission and the
subsequent organization of tbat body.
The Impression prevails, however, that
the personnel of the commission will be
made known at an early day.
Chief Justice Fuller was a caller at
the Stato Department to-day, which
gave rise to added comment as to the
probability ot his appointment; but this
is purely eoeouiatlvo, as the officials
will say nothing either in affirmation or
denial of current reports, or as to the
prospects ot appointment.
Tbe feeling is growing that tho talk
ot a ropori by next April was prema?
ture, as it is said that men of the stand?
ing of those who will be on this cam
mission would not conaent to rush
through a case- of this magnitude. Tbe
understanding is that tbe headquarters
of tho commission will bo at Washing?
ton and thai tho main se&sionB will be
held hero.
House Proceedings
Washington, Deo 23.?It being gen?
erally understood tbat tho way& ani
means committee will not be preparod
to report Lb bill for tho relief of tho
Treasury situation before to-morrow or
Thursday, tho attendance in tbo House
to-day waB comparatively small. Tbo
galleries, however, were woll filled.
Mr. Daniels (Rep., N. Y.) chairman of
the first committee on elections, offered
a resolution for the appointment of
clerks to the election committees and
authorizing the chairman to decide upon
the committees to which the election
cases sbould go.
Mr. Crisp (Gi ) thought that the mi?
nority should have some voice in de?
termining the committees to which the
cases should go. He referred indirectly
to a personal controversy on the floor
in tho last Congress between Mr. John?
son (Rep., Ind.), the chairman of one
of the election committees, and Mr.
Jones (Dem., Vs.), whose seat is being
contested la the present House, and
thought it might be unfair for Mr.
Johason to have a voice la determin?
ing to which committee tbo McDonald
Jones case shouid go.
Mr. Johnson promptly agreed with
Mr. Crisp, and It was deolded that the
Speaker should refer the cases under
the rule. Tbe chair accordingly refer?
red it to the first commltte on election,
the next case to the second, and the
remainder to the third committee.
Mr. Dlugley (Rep., Maine), chairman
of the ways and means committee, theo
took the floor, and made an announce?
ment regarding the situation. It was,
he said, apropos of a report on the reso?
lution of the holiday recess. The com?
mittee on wttjB and means, he said, had
held a meeting this morniog, and had
unanimously decided that, la view of
the Presidont's message to Congress on
Friday and tho surrounding circum?
stances, It was not possible that the two
Houses should adjourn until a proper
response had been made.
In view of the urgency of the matter,
he deemed it proper to say that the com?
mittee was already engaged upon tbe
preparation of a bill or bills. Wbile he
was not prepared to say now when those
bills would be ready he was certain that
they would not be presented to the
Houso before Thursday. It was import?
ant tbat members of the House who had
gono homo under the Impression that

the usual holiday recess would be held
should be present when the report of
the ways and means oommlttee was
made to the House and is was proper
that they should have an opportunity to
return.
He would ask the House to meet to?
morrow for the purpose of agreeing
upon tbe proper disposal of . the Presi?
dent's message, af tor wbioh ho would
ask the House to adjourn over Christ?
mas Day. "On TueBday," be oonoluded,
"we hope that the House will make a
response to the urgent request of the
President and take some notion whloU
will relievo tho situation la which the
country finds itself."
Then, at 12:28 p. m., tie, House ad
purned until Wednesday.

The men were at work on a track be?
tween two cars loaded with pig iron,
which were pushed towards them,

A Fnmoua Insurgent Killed.
Havana. Dec. 23.?Dispatches have
been received here confirming the an?
nouncement that the famous Cuban in?
surgent leader Marabel has been killed.
It appears that he led the attack upon
the village of Vueltas, which was held
by a few Spanish soldiers. A column
of troops, commanded by Major Thomas,

and In the engagement following tbe
insurgents lost heavily and Marable

defended it. Boih sides aro said to have
lost frightfully. The Turks were 10,000
strong and had twenty-four pieces of
artillery. The Armenians numbered
15,000, but they had no artillery.

Gentlemen: I have known and tuned

the old oelebratcd makes, tbe manu?
facturers of which claim tobe tho best.
Tho Lindeman, therefore, appeals to
all musicians, who must admire the
tone and touch, as well aa the elegantly
finished cases.
Ids thoroughly well made of tho best
material, hence absolutely durable.
Very truly,

TO RELIEVE THE TREASURY
Republicans Will Present Two
Plans After Christmas.
One Will be ? Tariff Bill and tbe Other a
Flan to Maintain the Gold Reserve
and Prevent Alleged Trouble With
Greenbacks?Both Will Pass the House.
The Senate Doubtful.
Washington, Dao. 23.?The House
Republicans will introduce ou tho day
after Christmas and pasB within the
week: two bills in response to President
Cleveland's message ot appeal for help
for the Treasury. One ot these two
will be a tariff bill to increase the rev?
enue, the other a financial plan to
maintain tho gold rcBervo and prevent
alleged existing trouble with the
greenbacks.
This party plan has been perfected by
two meetings ot the Republican mem?
bers of the ways and means committee;
the first w&s held Saturday night, with
the co operation of Speaker Heed and
otker laeders, the second this afternoon.
Although efforts wero made to preserve
seareey concerning tbe details of tho
plan, its foatures have baeu obtained by
tbe Associated Press from good au?
thority.
The tariff bill will be entitled, "A
bill to increase the revenues and to pre?
vent deficits in tue Treasury," and will
gojinto effcot when Blgnod by the Presi?
dent.
Its Items are as follows:
A duty on wool of sixty per cent; of
the McKinley low rates.
A compensatory duty on woolen goods
of sixty per cent, ot the McKinley act
rates.
A duty of sixty par oent. of the rate of
1890 on lumber, which will be from ten
to fifteen per cent, ad valorem.
An Increaso of twenty-live per cent,
from the Wllaon-Gormnn aot rates on
cereal broad stuffs, dairy produots and
live stock, Including poultry.
An lnorease of fifteen per cent, from
the Wilson-Gorman rates ou all other
schedules, with the provision that in no
oase shall the duty exceed tbe McKin?
ley rates, except where the Wilson?
Gorman rates exceed tbe'MaKlnley law.
Th second bill will provide for two
issues ot bonds; tbe first would be an
amount of 3 per oent. five year coin
bonds to protect the gold reserve, with
the provision that the currency re?
deemed by the proceeds snail not be
paid out for current deficits in tho
revenues unless the expenses of the
Government are in excess of revenues
which, it is expected they will not be,
it the first bill is in operation.
In addition the second bill will pro?
vide for one year two per aant. Treas?
ury certificates of indebtedness, not to
exceed 850,000,000 lu amount, and to be
disposed of at the discretion of tho
Treasury to meet current deficits in
revenue. These aro to be offered for
sale at the Bub-troasuries and deposi?
taries of the Government.
It is also said that there may poaslbly
be added to tho bill a plan to increase
tho ourroncy by authorizing national
banks to iasuo circulation to the par
value of all .ho government bonds de?
posited by them with tho government
as security for their notes.
Tho plan outlined was not agreed
upon w thout considerable debate, but
tho loadora are assured that both bills
will pass tbo lIou.se wlihout material
opposition, a thorough canvass being
made by State delegations, and thero
aro strong hopes that the Senate will
act upon them promptly. Saturday's
meeting showod a large percentage in
favor ot the plan.
Several Western free silver Republi?
cans held a oonferanco during the day
and decided to oppose any bill contain?
ing bond features. Their votes will be
cast against tho bond bill, but It is ex?
pected tbat it will draw enough votes
from the Democratic sido to offset the
deficiency. On tho other hand tho
tariff bill will probably be passed by a
strict party vote.
By the same division the House Re?
publicans held some hopes that their
plan can carry the Senate, mustering
all the Republican and two Populist
votes for the tariff bill, and a combina?
tion of Republicans and Demoorats for
the bond bill, although the supposed
free sliver majority of tbe Senate makes
the success of the second bill much
more doubtful.
There have been conferences of Re?
publicans of both bouses preliminary to
tbo present plan and a caucus will be held
Thursday when much time Is likely to
be consumed. Tbe advance on live s too k
and ceroal breadstuff* was secured by
the efforts of members from tbe North?
west, and is intended in part as a reply,
said one commltteeman, to the charge
that Republican tariff favored the mo?
nopolies rather than the farmers.
How much debate will be allowed has
not bann decided, but not more than
two days at most is planned.
The bill will be laid before tho Dem?
ocratic members Thursday morning,
and introduced in the House on tbat
day with a limited debate, on the
ground that tbe bills are omergency
bills, that cannot be delayed.

THE VENEZUELAN CONTROVERSY.
Comments of the British Press? Much
More Paciuo Then they Were.
London, Deo. 23.?The afternoon
newspapers oontlnue commenting edi?
torially and at length upon the Vene?
zuelan matter, but their remarks are on
the financial condition rather than war.
Expressions on the ground taken by tho.
United States are unfavorable, although
the tone Is altogether more paolfio- Yet
there is a considerable display ot satis?
faction at the financial difficulties In the
United States.
The dispatch which the Right Hon.
W. E. Gladslono sent to Joseph Pulit?
zer, proprietor ot the New York World,
In answer to the latter's request for a
message to the American people on the
Venezuelan question, has attracted wide
attention here and elsewhere.
Mr. Pulltzsr telegraphed that Amor
lean sentiment was at the turning
point; that, onco turned the wrong way,
no power on earth could hold It baoK, 1
and that a word ot peaoe and fellowship
from Mr. Gladstone would aid to check
clamor, to soothe the passions, encour?
age sober thought, and may avert ca?
lamity.
In reply, Mr. Gladstone cabled: "Dare
not interfere. Only common sense re?
quired. Cannot Bay more with advan?
tage."
Tho St. James Gaz3tte?thls afternoon,
commenting upon Mr. Gladstone's mes?
sage to tho proprietor ot the Now York
World, says: "Common sense would
I1 have avoided the shook which has been
given to both countries. It will yet
find its way out; but It Is the Amerl*
oanB who must supply the needful pitch
of suavity, which thoy are fully capablo
of doing."
The Westminister Ga/.3tte advises all
concerned to "take a holiday and a
breathing Bpaoe and to allow common
sense to assert Itself," adding, "when
both Bides discover that there Is ample
room for consideration, concession and
adjustment, the common sense party in
tho United States may bo suro that It
will be mot half way by the common
sense party hero."
ANOTHER HOND ISSUE.
No Immediate Proapeota of One The
Protldent Will Walt.
Washington, Dec. 23 ?It can be
stated on good authority that tho rumor,
which has gained some currenoy, to the
effect that tho President had decided
to announce another bond issue at
onoe, and that this conclusion had been
reached at a Cablnot meeting yester?
day, Is without any foundation In faot.
The only members of the Cabinet who
saw the President yesterday were Sec?
retary Lamont, who had just returned
to the city and oalled to pay his
respeots, and later In the day Secre?
tary Olney and Secretary Carlisle.
The general situation was discussed
Informally, but the questlou of an im?
mediate isBuo of bonds was not con?
sidered. Indeed, U Is stated that In
view ot the President's very recent mes?
sage to Congress asking for legislation
which might render another issue un?
necessary it would be a soant courtesy
to that tody to anticlpato its negative
aatlon before an opportunity had been
given it to comely with the President's
requoat. The President has himself re?
peatedly stated, howevor, that ho would
protect tho public credit, at whatever
cost, should tho necessity of the sltua*
tion require heroic action; but at tho
present moment it Is argued auch a
necessity has not arisen.

the Bids of the Newport Xfawa Ship?

May Get Ono Under Certain Condi?
tions.
Washington, Deo. 33.?The board of
naval bureau chiefs, after carefully con?
sidering tor several weeks the bids sub?
mitted for building battleships five and
six, has recommended to Secretary Her?
bert the aaaeptacoo of the bids of the
Newport-News Dry Dook and Ship
Building Company of Virginia to con?
struct both ships on the plans of tha
Navy Department for $3,500,000 for
eaoh.
In the event, however, that the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco, the next
lowest bidder at 83,740,000, shall scale
down their bid so as to leave only a
reasonable difference between their
figures and the 83,350,000 asked by the
Newport-News Company for one ship, it
1b recommended that oaoh of these com?
panies ba awarded the oontraci -for
building one vossel.
The Secretary still has before him
the alternative propcaitton to ask Con?
gress for authority to accept the bids to
build six ships of the Koarsoage class,
two to go to the Newport News Com?
pany, two to the Union Iron Works, and
two to the Cramps, on condition that all
of the bidders shall meet the figures set
by the Newport News company in their
bid, namely 83,250,000 for each ship.
The Secretary has taken the bureau
ohiefs' report under consideration in
connection with the alternative pro?
posal.
