per or llritlsh Clulana, ,
Loudon, Nov. 37. the Marquis of
Salisbury, it in understood, bug com
pleted hiH reply to Secretary Olney's
note regarding Venezuela. The mar
quia was busily engaged npon it during
the moat of last week, and numerous
papora dealing with the subject were
aeut to the Hatflold house from the for
eign ollioe. It is expected that the an
wer will be delivered to the United
State ambassador, Thoinaa F. Bayard.
No Further Proposals.
London, Nov. 27. Nothing ia known
at the colonial office here of the al
leged statement!) of the administration
of British Guiana that the imperial
government ia preparing to assert its
righta by arms. Newspapors reaching
here BHy the legislature of that oolony
had been acquiescent to the proposals
of the secretary for the oolouies, Mr.
Chamberlain, to increase the colonial
foroe by two inspectors and auothor
Maxim gnu, the legislature also notify
ing the government that it is prepared
to vote anything the ooloniul seoretary
oousidered uooessary for the defense of
the oolony. No further proposal, how
ever, hag beeu made by the imperial

change in the boundary dispute, and
the government, it is added, will not
tolerate Venezuelan aggression beyond
the Sohouiborgh lino. Otherwise it is
stated that the warlike statements

founded on facts.
ANOTHER HEALER.
AWAITING THE SULTAN'S REPLY
The
Porte Doe Not Consider More
Uuardshlps Necessary.
Constantinople, Nov. 27. The main
question now being discussed between
the porte and representatives of the
powers is the demand of (ireat Britain,
Italy, Russia and Austria for firming
for passage through the Dardanelles of
an extra gunboat to be attached to
their respective embassies. While ad
mitting that the powers possess the
right to have two guard ships each in
the Bosphorous, the porte considers
that the proposed inorease of the num
ber of foreign war vessels there under
present conditions, might excite the
Mussulmans and produce an effect far
from the one dusirod by the powers.
In addition the porte points out that
in view of the measures taken to pre
serve order there, an increase in the
number of guard ships attached to the
embassies is not required. It can be
said opon good authority that this is
the substance of the note the porte has
sent the representatives of the powers. J
As soon as the note shall have been
received and considered at the British
Russian, Italian and Austrian emlias
ties a conference of the representatives
of those powers will be culled and
joint reply may be sent to the porte.
Turkish representatives at Loudon St
Petersburg, Borne and Vienna will bo
instructed to earnestly request the four
powers not to insist on their demand.
In political circles the repugnance of
the porte to grant the firmins applied
lor contributes to the belief said to
exist among the Turkish ministers that
to grant the firming would be a sad
blow to the dignity of the sultan and a
direct proof of the lack of oonfldenoe
npon the part of the powers in his abil
ity to govern and maintain order. Be
hind this, it is claimed, the Turks fear
the demanded inorease in the number
of foreign guardships in the Bosphorus
is really only a cloak for the intention
of the powers to make a naval demon
stration in Turkish waters in case of
new disturbances in Asiatio Turkey,
aaaon Claim to Posses Power Equal
to Thoa or Schlatter.
New York, Nov. 28. H. B. Nasou,
of Woodoliff, N. J., claims to be pos-
sessea ot -healing powers" equal to
the famous Schlatter, who has oreated
suoh a sensation in Colorado. Nason
is a leader of a strange religions sect
in the vicinity of his home, known as
"Angel Danoers," or the "Churohmen
of the Living God." He ia prepared
to assert himself as a healer without
losing his plaoe as the head and center
oi his little band of devout followers.
According to his story he has been
ante, sinoe the beginning of his minis
try to heal those who go to him
through faith, but now he gives a more
general invitation. Nason has been
encouraged to do this through the suo
oess of Schlatter, the Colorado healer,
with whose movements he is entirely
familiar. Nason said the other dav:
"I am willing to heal thoso who
come to me ia faith, and I do so with
out money and without price. I only
trust in the Lord. Schlatter has been
doing a great work. Like me, he does
not sell his God-given gifts, but he
won't stay there, for those people are
driving him away. I tell you. it ain't
no use in trying to trafflo the things of
God, and that's what the people out
there are trying to do. Why. thev will
sell a handkerchief or anything else
that Schlatter takes in his band. Men
who ore standing in line to get to him
will sell their places to anyone willing
to pay a prioe for it. That is the work
of the devil and nothing else. Schlat
ter has God with him mightily, and
won t stand that. That is the reason
ho disappeared last week and went into
the moimtains. It is the Lord who
took him away to rebuke the money
ohangers who defile the temple.

Lynn, Mass., Nov. 27. James J,
Corbett in an interview today said:
I am disgusted with the entire
business, and henceforth will oonflne
my entire time to the stage. No mat'
ter what the public may say, whether
it be oomplimentary or otherwise, I
oannot be indnoed again to enter the
arena. They may say that when I
whipped Sullivan he was an old man
and that I never whipped a good man
in my career; but I am fully deter
mined in my purpose to quit. I sup
pose the public blames me for not pull
ing off the fight with with Fitzsim
mons. I am not disposed to answer
any oritioism, and will not do so. I
bestowed the championship upon Ma
tter because he is an Irishman, and be
cause I prefer he should defend the title
rather than plaoe it with an Austra
lian or Englishman. Up to the present
I have declined to give my reasons for
recognizing Maher, but you can print
that as coming from me. I consider
him the peer of any man in the ring,
and have no hesitanoy in saying that
he can whip Fitzsimmons. He is a
great man, and he will demonstrate
his right to bear the title of champion

The government does not intend to sub

also understood the government will
only subsidize the Atlautio section of

both the steamship and the oable

Lord Sholto Douglas.
(rndlanoplls Journal.
When Lord Sholto Douglas married
a California variety actress it was ex
plained that the brido was descended
through her mother from the British
nobility, and was, therefore, her hus
band a equal. The coarseness and vul-
garity displayed bj the mother in her
threat to publioly horsewhip her son-in-law

On the Boad to Bankruptcy.
Now York Son.
Ridiculous as it sounds for the
United States at this period of their ex
istence, we are on the straight road to
bankruptcy. The situation is suoh
that with congress in Republican con
trol, a president of the opposition must
accept the revenue bill whioh is laid
before him. There is deficiency in the
national revenue, and we must have
money. It is a oondition whioh con
fronts us, not a theory.

shiners yesterday in Wise oounty. Vir

the renowned South Afrioan explorer,

Eugene V. Debs Has Served His
and Is Now a Free Han.
Chicago, Nov. 28. Eugene V. Debs
became a free man again at 12 o'clock
tonight. His term of six months' im
prisonment in the Woodstock jail came
to an end at that time. A party of
800 admirers and friends will go out
to Woodstock tomorrow afternoon to
greet the labor leader on his release.
A party composed of representatives of
all the central labor bodies and of the
several local unions will be among the
first to greet Debs. Debs will receive
them at the jail and will then march
around the publio square with the
party to the music of a brass band and
drum oorps. A delegate of the trades
assemblies of Cincinnati and of the
American Railway Union of Cleveland
will arrive tomorrow morning to take
part in the general jubilee which will
be held in battery D in the evening.
Mr. Debs has already laid plans whioh
will keep him very muoh before the
publio. He said last night that he had
arranged to visit all prinoipal cities,
primarily in the interest of the Ameri
can Railway Union, but direoting his
efforts also to bring organized labor
into a defensive alliance.
A New Separator.
We are advised of the successful
trial, covering quite a period of time,
of a new separator. This new maohine
is a radical departure from old styles,
the bowl being but two inches in di
ameter, inside measurement, and about
four feet long. It runs at a speed of
60,000 revolutions per minute, skims
twelve thousand pounds per hour and
eats up the milk so fast that it has to
uo luruen in with a steam pump. This
is what the creamery men have been
looking for and if it fullfills olaims.

No Contraband Goods Aboard.
Lewes, Del., Nov. 26. The sohoon

at the Delaware breakwater tonight in

ularity in her business. Captain
Wheaton declares that tomorrow he
will give up his vessel to the oare of

Wilmington and Philadelphia to begin
suit against the government for dam
ages for detention.
Not Enough Marines.
Washington, Nov. 22. Colonel
Charles Heywood, commanding the
marine oorps, in his annual report to
the seoretary of the navy, makes a
strong appeal for an inorease in the en
listed strength of the oorps to meet the
additional duties imposed upon it by
the increase of the navy. Colonel Hey
wood estimates that 1,500 marines on
shore are needed for the protection of
million of dollars worth of orovnrn-
ment property in their charge, a num
ber 800 in excess of the marines now
engaged in that duty. In addition to
this it is estimated that about 460
more men will be required for the new
vessels now under oonstruotioa
The New Chinese Loan.
London, Nov. 26. A dispatch to the
times irom Benin aonnrms the report
that China is negotiating with a Ger
man syndioate for a new loan for the
purpose of securing funds with whioh
to pay a portion of the indemnity
pledged to the Japanese at the conclu
sion of the reoent war.
To Keep Fruit in Winter.
To keep fruit in winter the Culti
vator, of Albany, says: First, keep the
temperature within a few degrees of
the freezing point. Seoond, let it be
as uniform as possible, as an occasional
warm draught hastens decay. Third,
exclude air currents not required to
maintain ventilation and uniform cold.
Fourth, keep all odors away from the
fruit. Some additional observations
may be necessary under these different
heads. Under the first rule it would
be important to secure a fruit room
wnere ine temperature oan be oom
pletely controlled by windows, and one
or more thermometers must be used for
maintaining the right temperature.
Under the seoond rule, examine the
plaoe daily and see that it is all right.
Under the third, the advantage of
drawers and oovered boxes to exolude
air currents will be obvious; and more
perfect exolusion is effected by placing
the fruit in alternating layers with
chaff, bran, dry moss and dry sand.
The importance of keeping bad odora
from the fruit inoludes the prompt re
moval of all decaying speoimens,
which, if allowed to remain, will
spread the spores of rotting fruit
Difficulties in Bee-Keeplng.
Modern bee-keeping at first repels
beginners, beoause it is made to look
like a diffloult and unprofitable pur
suit, with a great probability of a phy
sical discomfort from stings. We have
found, whenever the subjeot has been
brought up, the first objection to be:
"I don't like the stings;" the next,
"There is too muoh trouble about
bees. ' If you were intending to make
bee-keeping your business, then it
would be well to oonsider these objec
tions and show how tender handling,
an intelligent study of methods, large
and convenient hives, the most ap
proved locations and the most suitable
protective bee veils, have rendered
these objections of no foroe. But for
bees on the farm, to gather the sweets
whioh are now going to waste, we need
only say, the frame hives with sections
for honey, and a few swarms of bees,
will not involve either difficulty or
damage to any, and will afford for the
table a delioaoy whioh both old and
young will appreciate. Besides, the
oases of being stung may be said to be
ii rare occurrence and if yon obanoe to
be a subjeot of stinging it will soon be
f little consequence, as many testify
that it becomes soon of no greater In
convenience man tne tnte of t
quite.
