I then decided to try Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine, I was then unable to get to sleep until well on toward daylight, and during all this time I had a deep, heavy pain in my left side. I was most miserable, indeed, but after taking one-half bottle of the Kervine i Could sleep all night just as well as lever did. The heroine is the only remedy that gave me any relief whatever.

BOUNDARY QUESTION May Be Settled Before the Venezuelan Commission Can Report. ENGLAND’S PRIDE TO BE SAVED. Arbitration Probable Between Great Britain and President Crespo’a Country—lnterest In Hie Bond Bill Dlttciwsioil Beginning to Lag Senator Sewell’s Monroe Doctrine Resolution. Washington, Jan. 17.—Aside from the leisurely manner in which the A enezuelan commission is arranging to prosecute its work. tliere are other indications that the administration has become convinced that this august body will not have the honor of settling the great boundary dispute. While it cannot be stated positively that this belief is based entirely upon any specific reports from Ambassador Bayard upon the subject, yet there is reason to believe some assurances' of a satisfactory nature .have come to the state department that the matter will be terminated shortly, probably within two months, or before a report can reasonably be expected from the Venezuelan commission. and upon lines that will be unobjectionable to our government. M hile details of the arrangement are not obtainable and perhaps have not yet been fixed, it is believed that the basis of it will be arbitration as proposed originally by the United States, but with a limitation that will suffice at least to save British pride, and appear to maintain British consistency. This is likely to be found in an agreement between Great Britain and Venezuela directly, brought about through the good offices or a thintTOTty; notiiecessarily or probably the United States, to submit to a joint commission the question of the title to all territory west of the Schomburg line, with a proviso that if in the course of the inquiry of the commission evidence appears to question the British title to the lands lying to the eastward of that line, then the body may extend its functions to adjudicate such title. This arrangemen would meet the British contention that the original arbitration shall be limited to lands to the westward of the line, while still conceding the justice of the contention of President Cleveland that the lands on the other side may properly be taken into consideration in fixing the boundary. Possibly a supplementary arbitration will be left to deal with the question as to the title of the eastward lands, if the original commission dealing with the matter shall find that the title to the lands is a fit subject for arbitration, as shown by the evidence produced before it. PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS. Interest In the Bond Bill Discussion Beginning to Lag. "Washington, Jan. 17.—The consideration of the silver bond bill proceeded in the senate yesterday with Mr. Peffer continuing his speech begun Wednesday. Interest in the discussio# has begun to lag. as was, evidenced by the sqant attendance on the floor and in the galleries. As yet no suggestion has been made as to bringing the measure to a vote. Foreign questions received considerable attention duiyngThi- day. Mr. Hale spoke for an hour in favor, of a Pacific cable connecting the United Stnteswid Hawaii. The senator expressed the opinion that the annexation of the Hawaiian islands to the United States were certain to be accomplished at an early day. The Cuban question was briefly discussed in connection with Mr. Call’s resolution calling on the state tiepartnient for information on the status of the uprising. The Monroe doctrine also received attention in a resolution by Mr. Sewell of New Jersey declaring the limitations of the doctrine and stating that President Cleveland's attitude was an extension of the doctrine beyond its original scope. A resolution was adopted requesting the states department for further information on Armenian affairs. The senate adjourned until Monday. Discussion In tlib House. The general discussion of the pension bill in the house closed yesterday, and. today it will be taken up by paragraphs. Mr. Grow attempted to speak on a matter of privilege. The subject which he wished to discuss was a passage.ciShtained iii a pamphlet published by the New York chamber of commerce, which, he said, was an' attack upon the good faith of the house. The speaker ruled that this was not a question of piivilege and Mr. Grow did not proceed. The other incident of the day was a defense entered into by Air. Bartlett ,(N. Y.) of the position taken by himself on the-pension question. He made a vigorous reply to the at tacks which have been made upon his fir t speech. He defended the commissiiHier of pensions against the attacks made upon him during the debate, and quoted • figures to show that bp was correct in his statement that, with the exception of Russia, no country wu! more .for a V oiding army than ne Uinteo aid tor pensions. He denounced as falsehoods .allegations liiul he was not a friend of the soldier. .He approved laws giving, pensions for disability and disease contracted in the Jijte of duty, but (lift not think additional laws should be added to the statute books. Mr, Reed Is In Charge. I Washington, Jan. IJ7.—Th< • first meeting of the house committee on coinage was held yesterday, but little was done beyond the formal organization of the body.

CHICAGO THE PLACE Democratic National Convention Captured by the Windy City, i - ■ ST. LOUIS A WARM COMPETITOR. { July 7 the Date Agreed llpon-'-Toolc s Tweuty-Nhie llallota to Decide the Com- > test Mound City Supported by the FrOo 3 Silver State# —Meeting of the "Populist . National t’ouinilttce. Washington, Jan. 17.—The Dctno- . cratic state convention will be held in . Chicago ou July 7. That was the do- • eision reached yesterday by the national 3 demoeratic committee after an interesting and at times exciting session which t continued until nearly midnight. There a was considerable difference df opinion > as to the time for holding the conven--1 tiou. one proposition, advanced by Allen W. Thurman of Ohio, who held the proxy of the New Mexico member, being to hold it June 7, two weeks before ’ the RepublicHn convention and the other by Hugh Wallace of WSshingtou . state to hold it July 7. The committee ! decided upon the lat ter date by a vote ! of 82 to 18. , The main interest, of course, centered in choice of the convention city. For this honor there weiv four applicants— I Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati aud New York. Thirty minutes were allowed each city in which to present its-claims. The sjieeches made by distinguished citizens in each instance were of high order of exc’dlence, and at times aroused the greatest enthusiasm. The first ballot resulted: Chicago, 6; Cincinnati, 11; ' St. Louis, 19; New York, 14. There was practically .no change, except a slight i fluctuation of a vote or two, until the : 10th ballot, when Chicago began gradui ally to increase her vote at the expense of New York. At the 20th ballot New York's strength was rapidly disintegrating, her vote going almost bodily to Chicago. But St. Louis, which had tenaciously clung to her 19 votes, captured several of Cincinnati’s votes, and on the ballot before the last led Chicago by one vote. On the last ballot, the 29th, the four remaining votes of New York were thrown to Chicago aud she obtained the necessary plurality as follows: Chicago, 26; Cincinnati, 1; St. Louis, 24. } Senator Brice voted for Cincinnati to the last. St. Louts had practically the solid vote of the free silver states in the committee. Indiana voted for Chicago. Chairman Harrity expects to issue the usual call for the holding of the convention in a few days. It it will be in form very much like the last one with the change in dates made necessary by the difference in the time of holding the convention. The call will be issued from Philadelphia. The national committee adjourned without electing the sergeant-at-arms and other officers, who will probably not be chosen for some weeks. POPULIST CONVENTION. National Committee Meeting to Decide Upon the Time and Place. 7? St. Louis, Jan. 17.—Quite a Humber of the ntembei’s of the national committee of the People's party arrived here yesterday_to take part in the meeting of that body, which is to name the time and place for holding the national convention. H. E. Tanbbneck, chairman of the executive committee, says noth* known yet jis to where or when the convention will be held. Chicago, St. Lottis. Milwaukee, Kansas City, Oiitaha, Indianapolis, Dallas and Atlanta want the convention and each qne of them has friends in the committee. Whichever place is selected, there ifTso will the Bimetallic union meet, and the union of these two elemi'nts will make one of the largest conventions ever held in this country. Mr. Taubeneck declared that he had no idea yet who his party would nominate for president. He considered Sibley of Pennsylvnnia a magnificent man, but did not look upon the indorsement by the free silverites of Sibley for president as at all bimling on the Populists. The committee met this morning to hear the claims of the different cities that want the national convention. Indianapolis, Chicago, -Milwaukee*, Dallas and St, Louis were active ctmtcstants for the honor and each had a delegation present at the meeting. M.
