FOR OLNEY TO DECIDE Existing Complications With Foreign Governments. A SERIOUS ONE WITH ENGLAND Ths Is the British-Venesuelan Ques tion, Because of Its Involving; the Monroe Doetriue- Washington, June 11. Secretary of State Olney is expected to take the oath of office tomorrow. There will be no undue haste, however on the part of the new chief of the state department. Mr. Olney has given much close study to the larger law questions before his department and it will take some time for him to put the work aside and for the new attorney-general to grow into it Mr. Olney, moreover, is equipped in advance for the duties of his new office, as he has been consulted con stantly during the last year on the various complications over Venezuela, Nicaragua, Behring sea, the Waller oase, foreign tariff retaliation,Jthe Japanese-Chinese troubles, Spain'soonflict with Cuba, and the lesser questions in which the United States has been brought in relation with the rest of the world. . The last year has been -unusually fruitful in foreign complications. Some of these were closed by Mr. Oresham, or advanced to such a state that they will not require much further attention. Among these were the Brit-ish-Nicaraguan incident, in which the United States aided toward a settler ment; the Japan-China treaty of peace, which was effected as a result of the kindly intervention by the United States,' and the friction with Hawaii as the result of the demand for the re call of Minister Thurston. The other foreign questions which attracted pub lic attention during Mr. Gresham's ad ministration of the department are still pending. With Great Britain there are two questions of importance to be adjusted, those affecting Behring sea and the Vennezuelan - boundary. - A Behring sea conference will be held in Washington in October next, Sir Julian Pauncefote having effected the prelim- j inary arrangements with Mr. Gresham. The purpose is to draft s new treaty by which the claims of Canadian sealers for allegd seizures and losses will be submitted to a commission. The con ference will not take up the more im portant question of readjusting the Behring sea regulations in order to make them-effective. . This will come 44a ter; howover.and promisas to call cut k V IgViUIW ty IU1U vUUSUb(lAW versy. .'-.'A'-. j The British-Venezuelan question is mainly significant - in -involving the Monroe doctrine. The .United States has asked Great Britain to arbitrate the question. So far as is known no defi nite answer has been made to Ambassa dor Bayard, who presented the request of this country. The British foreign office has positively declined to oonsider similar requests by Pope Leo and by the International Arbitration Associa tion, and it is not doubted that in due time s declination will come to the United States. It will then remain for the state department to determine to what extent British aggression in Ven ezuela is compatible with the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Gresham had made a special study of the subject, regarding it as of more importance than any of the foreign questions under considera tion. Mr. Olney was called into con ference, and for several weeks prior to his selection for the secretary of state he was busy investigating this compli cated question. It is probable that a definite issue will be reached when Ambassador Bayard sends Britain's answer. With France the only question of consequence pending is as to the im prisonment of ex-Consul-General Wal ler. Ambassador Eustis has been in structed to make inquiries with a view of securing for Waller all the rights of an American citizen abroad, including a trial by a civil court. Germany, Austria and Denmark are having numerous tariff complications with the United States which threaten ed at one time to bring about radical retaliation by this country. . The read justment has proceeded largely through the state department. Germany and Denmark continue their exclusion of American meats, but there are pros pects that a satisfactory settlement will be effected. The discriminating duties levied against the beet sugar of Germany and Austria brought on the conflict and Denmark followed the lead of her influential neighbors. Joseph H. Wilson. THOMAS E.

Wash., June 11. Early this morning fifty masked men, heavily armed, took Joseph Fossati and Robie Allen, a colpred woman who runs a house of ill repute, and gave them a coat of tar and feathers. ' Soon after midnight the men, all wearing masks over their faces,.- went - to the house occupied by the woman in an alley between Main and Rose streets. A haok followed them and stopped in front' of the house.' The men broke open the door. They dragged Fossati and the woman from the bed, and car ried them to the hack, which was driven rapidly to the outskirts of the city. The clothes of the two were torn off, and a heavy coat of tar. and feath ers applied. The two were then order ed to leave the city. The job was well planned and exe cuted. The thoroughfare through which the hack passed was thoroughly guarded by armed, men, and any at tempt to stop them would have been futile. Two minutes after their noise less approach they were out of sight, and before a large number of spectators recovered from their astonishment. Fossati is the son of a highly re spected family, and has had more than average advantages ox life. ie nas persisted in living with this woman. Friday they went to Dayton and were married. . They returned here Satur day. Mrs. D. Fossati, the mother of Young Fossati, is prostrated with grief and is in a precarious condition. THE MAXIM , MACHINE GUN. Given an Official Test by the Govern ment at Sandy Hook. New York, June, 11. The govern ment steamer Ordnance took a cargo of experts and others to the government proving ground at Sandy Hook yester day, and an official test of the Maxim machine gun, whioh can be fired 600 times a minute, was made. First of all Mr. Huber. fired fifty shots. The little feat occupied 5 4-5 seconds. The light gun is used by the infantry. It is important to learn how quickly it can be taken from the packing case and put into action. Expert Huber . hung it over his shoulder in marching order, and, . at a word from Captain Hatch, he began to take out the gun. - He put it together, unpacked his cartridges and fired his first shot fifty-eight sec onds after the alarm was given. . For a third test a duplicate set was put up, and the first shot was fired in 36 2-5 seconds. The fourth test was changing barrels in action. ,r Th;5 time ' between the last shot with, the--sold barrel and first with ghe aewftwasJQ minute ? The National Banks. i-.' ! Washington, June 11.

Vienna, June 11. The long expect ed conflict between workmen and po lice took place today.-. Ten thousand laborers gathered on the streets of the city according to preconcerted arrange ment, and Deputy Pernerstorger and other socialist leaders made speeches to the crowd. - Upon the arrival of the police they declared the meeting ille gal, and requested the audience to dis perse. The crowd noisily separated, but the arrest of a man named Feigl caused a collision between the police and socialists, who tried to rescue the prisoner, ihe police were stoned, and many small fights occurred in various portions of the city all the morning. One mounted inspector had his uni form torn form him and was nearly pulled off his horse. Another inspector was thrown and kicked in the abdo men. Three policemen were injured by stones. . Nineteen socialists have been placed under arrest. Grain In California. San Francisco, June 8.

Washington, June 10. President Cleveland has annonnced the following cabinet appoinments: Secretary of state, Richard Olney, of Massachusetts; attorney-general, Jud son Harmon, of Cincinnati. The announcement, which was made late this afternoon, created no surprise here, for it has been well understood for several days that Olney would suc ceed to the first place in the cabinet, made vacant by the death of Secretary Gresham. The president at one time contem plated other changes in his cabinet and a rearrangement of several portfolios, and in this- connection consideration was given to the transfer of Secretary Smith to the department of justice, but this and other transfers were finally abandoned, and the president concluded that the simplest plan would be merely to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Ol- ney's promotion. The appointment of Judge Judson Harmon, of Cincinnati, as attorney general, came in the nature or a sur prise. His name had not even been canvassed as among the probabilities. There is the best authority for the statement that the president had sev eral names under consideration, and that the portfolio of justice might have been had by James C. Carter, of New York, and by Frederick R. Coudert, of New York, had they been disposed to accept Secretary Carlisle knows Judge Har mon personally, and admires and re spects his ability.' It was he, probably, who first presented his name to Presi dent Cleveland. Ex-Governor Camp bell, of Ohio, a close friend of Judge Harmon, also warmly supported "him, and the president also secured from ex Governor Hoadley, of Ohio, who is now living in New York, and whose law partner Mr. Harmon was, most favorable reports as to his ability and standing. After canvassing the situa tion thoroughly, the president offered the portfolio to Judge Harmon by wire this afternoon, and immediately upon reoeiving a favorable reply announced the appointments. Something; About OIney's Successor. Cincinnati, June 10. When the ap pointment of Judge Judson Harmon became known here, attorneys from the courts and their offices rushed to the office of Harmon, Colestone, Gold smith & Hoadley to congratulate the new attorney-general and ask for a date for a farewell dinner from the bar. Judge Harmon said he had received a letter from President Cleveland today and replied to it by wire. ;. He had',, no knowledge of his appointment till ad vices by the press dispatches. He went to Columbus tonight on business and does not know when he will go to Washington. Judge Harmon is not only recognized as one of the foremost lawyers and jurists in the state, but also as one of the most popular citizens of Ohio. ' He was born near this city 49 years ago. uincinnati has always been his home and he is known by alL His father, the RevT B. F. Harmon, was a Baptist minister, well known through out the Ohio valley. Young Harmon graduated at Denison university, ' a Baptist institution at Granville, Ohio, in 1866, and began the practioe of law in Cincinnati in 1869. He was a Re publican until 1872, when he "Gree- leyized." As a Democrat he was elected common pleas judge on the Tilden ticket in 1876. He was elected superior judge in 1878, re-elected in 1883, and when ex-Governor George Hoadley went to New York in 1887 Judge Harmon resigned from the bench to become the head of the firm of Har mon, Coldstone, Goldsmith & Hoadley, which represent8many railroads and other corporations and with which firm he will continue his connection. When Judge Harmon resigned, in 1887, Governor Foraker appointed Judge William Taft, now United States cir ouit judge and formerly solicitor-gen eral to the vaoany. Mrs. Harmon is an accomplished lady, the daughter of the late Dr. Sco bey, of Hamilton. They have three daughters, Mrs. Edman Wright, jr., of Philadelphia; Miss Elizabeth, a recog nized society leader, and Margerie, the youngest of the family, . who is 14 years old The Decision Denounced at Omaha. Omaha, June 11. A mass meeting of the workingmen of Omaha was held this evening to take action on the re cent refusal of the supreme court to grant a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Eugene V. Debs. The hall was packed with workingmen. Speeches were made by August Bierman, the Rev. Alexander F. Irvine and "Gen eral" Kelly, of industrial army re nown. The following resolution, offer ed by Kelly, was adopted: "Resolved, That we, the working- men of Omaha, in mass meeting assem bled, denounce the action of the court as arbitrary and unjust and calculated to destroy the confidence of the masses in the- integrity of the judiciary of the United States." .

AN EXPEDITION TO SAIL AT 0NCK To Start From a Point South of Charles- ton and to Be Complete In Every Particular. Fernandina, Fla., June 8. The mas ter stroke of the Cuban revolutionary movement in this country will occur within three days. The principal lead ers of the party in the United States gathered at Jacksonville two days ago, but yesterday quietly slipped over here and took carriages and" went to Ocean Beach, where they stopped at the Strathmore hotel. From an adjoining room a correspondent overheard the whole of the deliberations, which began at 8 P. M. and lasted until a late hour. As appeared from the conversation, most of the expeditions hitherto have gone from San Domingo, but the next bold move must be from the United States south of Charleston. A fleet of light-draught vessels could get unno ticed through Bahama channel, and. then at night make short runs for the northern coast of Cuba, where there are many bays easy of access for an ex pedition, and poorly guarded. The plans of the insurrectionists, so far as completed, axe as follows: "That as all plans for the carrying on of the insurrection in Cuba have heretofore worked most satisfactorily, the western half being ripe for rebel lion, the consulting board has deoided that the expedition should be made ready at once; that it should sail from a point be w teen Brunswick, Ga. , and Mayport, Fla. ; that it should be com manded by Colonel Enrique Collao, the war-scarred veteran of . 1868-78, and that the fleet should be guarded by three newly-built torpedo boats of the latest pattern, of great speed and man ned by experienced seamen. Lieuten ant Tomas Collao is to be the staff offi cer, and Colonel Collao's small army is to be recruited from the Cubans in the United States and picked Ameri cans from the Southern states. Men already collected by Henry Brooks, who is now in New York city, and who is to accompany the expedition as a member of Colloa's staff, are also to be enrolled. Colloa is to land the expedi tion at some point in the province of Puerto Principe, where forces collected by Gomez and. Marti will co-operate. The expedition is to land in Cuba with-' in thirty dayr-v--7ii In addition to this plan of operation, general infomation was given during the deliberations. The province of Pi- nas del Orras has risen, and the insur gents have made more progress in the present rising of three months' dura tion than was made in the seven years commencing in 1868. it is believed that within a month the whole island will be in arms for the Cubans, and that Captain-General Campos is exert ing every effort to be recalled to Mad rid before the arrival of the disaster, whioh he believes is sure to overwhelm the Spanish armies in Cuba very soon,. It was stated moreover, that Jose Marti would be in Florida within the next ten days. More of Paul Schulze. Taooma, June 7. J. O. Armour and P. D. Armour, jr., of Chicago, filed to day in the federal court a petition al leging that the late Paul Schulze fraudulently and collusively conspired with the Northwest Thomson-Houston Electric Company to transfer to it stocks and bonds of the Tacoma Rail way & Motor Company, without re ceiving full consideration; that for $1, 250,000 bonds of face value and a large block of stock, the street railway com pany received in money and property only $800,000. They claim that Schulze paid the electric company $350,000 for the Steilacoom road, a su burban line worth but $60,000. On account of these transactions they de clare the company has an equitable off set against the Thomson-Houston Elec tric Company of $746,000, and ask that the amount due it and its assignees on the bonded indebtedness be reduced by that amount The bonded debt is $1, 350,000. .

Advices from Taipeh Fu, Formosa, describe affairs in that town as still in a chaotic con dition. The native quarter has been burned. During the conflagration a magazine exploded killing ninety Chi nese. The German gunboat Itlis fired on the Chinese forts at Hobe, presuma bly because a merchant steamer with Tang, the former president of the so called republic of Formosa,' on . board with a number of refugee Chinese sol diers, was not allowed to leave. The forts were silenced by the fire of the gunboat Subsequently the merchant steamer proceeded. The British cruiser Rainbow left this morning.
