any which could be found In any city of the world: piles of merchandise were on their counters;, they were brilliantly lighted; busy men stood around the counters dealing out wares to active purchasers. Do you suppose that one of these Places would have been erected, that one of these great structures of trade would have been founded, would have grown and prospered. If any one man In that store suspected the honesty of the measures by which the wares were measured, either in weight or In length? o you suppose if there was the slighter! doubt as to the honesty by v.hich every contract between the purchaser, and seller was to be kept that any man could prosper In such an atmosphere of distrust? "The nlstory of this country proves conclusively that the whole Bryan mystification Is already in a condition of coilapse. (Applause.) It needed but examination to show what a tawdry, empty, senseless argument of false pretenses it was. We have boiled it down to its last analysis, and we find its proposal Is to the laborer to improve his condition by reducing- his wages, (laughter.) That is what it is. Bryan's own language justifies that statement. I am attributing to him no words except what he has uttered. And, consequently, the farmer is to benefit by this reduction In the rates of wages; he says to the laborer, 'You can do business in two different coins, selling for a good coin, paying debts in a bod one.' And all this proceeds upon the assumption that such a state of affairs is compatible with the existence of civilized society. There is where the Populist loses his bearings; there is where the Populist deceives himself. He issues an .appeal to cupidity. He thinks when he asks a farmer to repudiate his debts he asks the farmer to do something he will want to do himself, and there he misun

derstands the character of the American citizen, whether he works in the field or whether he works in the store (Applause.) Wherever an American citizen is found, without exception, we are pretty sure to find an honest man. (Applause.) And an appeal to dishonesty and dif-honor cannot find favor with the citizens of a country who have created such a history as, that of which we boast. (Applause.) BRYAN BLOWS HOT AND COLD. "My friends, let us examine this matter a little further. Let us consider the whole of this Popuiist programme as it has been xnounded by Mr. Bryan. When we challenge him, with the assertion that his programme is a programme of dishonesty he tays all he wants to do is to remonetize silver. He talks about the dollar of our fathers. He talks about bimetallism; and the more he talks about it the more clearly he shows that he understands nothing whatever of it. I don't think any man could give a more complete refutation of Mr. Bryan's theories upon that than he iurnisnes nimseit. follow his speeches and you will invariably tind that one speech is a complete refutation of a position assumed in -another,' or, rather, one part of his epeech generally refutes one part which precedes it or follows It. When he talks about the remonetlzing of silver and says It is simply using silver in our currency he entirely misstates the question. Right in the same breath he will declare the currency was contracted by the demonetization of silver, when a moment before he fcald the coin was at a premium and therefore could not possibly have formed any part of the circulation whatever. When you Ksk him whether It is honest to settle a debt contracted In a dollar worth 100 cent with a. dollar worth 50 cents he evades the quastloi. The question is as to change of standard of value and to force a settlement of existing debts upon a debased standard. (Applause.) If. as I have said, the State of Indiana should change the number of Inches in a yard measure and the change were made applicable to future contracts It would concern the majority of us very little. But if I had paid $10 tor ten yards of cloth under the existing standard, and before that eloth was delivered the Legislature of Indiana should say that hereafter the yard measure should consist of eighteen inches and existing contracts should be settled according to the new standard of measure, I would be cheated of half the cloth for which I have paid. It is a change in the standard while contracts art pending and undischarged, and the change made applicable to these undischarged contracts, that we protest against as an act of dishonesty and dishonor. (Applause.) That eems plain and self-evident. Mr. Bryan pays the silver in a dollar will be worth 11.29. We ask him how he knows it, and he says. .'I believe it.' (Laughter.) Any man who is working to-day for, say, $2 a day, will be paid in good dollars, and when the laborer asks how he will know that the $2 paid under silver coinage will be worth as much as the money he receives now he tells him he believes it, and you can take his belief home with vou. and if there .should be a difference between the purchas- " ing power of the new dollar and the purchasing power of the dollar we have, why, you can take his belief home with you and feed upon it and grow fat. (Laughter and applause.) "You will find out when the PJbpulist starts out upon his scheme of beneficence and reform to enrich the farmer that the man whom he robs is the helpless laborer who has no commodity but his toil to offer In the market. (Applause.) NO FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE. "I noticed the other day, I think it was this morning, in the Cincinnati Enquirer a telegram from Mr. Bryan In which he said: 'The meeting last night in Cincinnati convinced me that the people were aroused to the necessity of establishing the financial independence of the United States.' And wherever he has talked we have heard him hold forth upoA the necessity of adopting , an American financial policy. But when he speaks of the financial Independence of the I nited States he Is talking pure bimetallism, and that means pure nonsense. There cannot be complete financial independence . of the United States so long as the United States trades with foreign countries. We are dependent upon foreign countries to give our ships dock room when they enter foreign ports. We are dependent upon foreign countries to receive our consuls and to give them the authority -to administer oaths so that trade can be carried on with them. We cannot be Independent of countries with which we trade any more than any merchant here in Indianapolis can be - independent of his customers or his customers independent of him. The whole essence of trade depends upon the interchange of commodities. The welfare of my ' customers, if I be in business, deeply concerns me, as my welfare will concern the men from whom I buy. If Mr. Bryan by linancial independence means financial " domination, then I can understand him and I am prepared to discuss his programme with him. Anything like a debasement of the coinage, so far as It concerns maintaining the financial independence of the United States, will absolutely blight the prospects of the American conquest of the industrial world, which every American cherishes in his heart. (Applause.) "Prior to 16:16 England was not a great ' financial power as she Is to-day; she was not as important In a commercial way as France was. Prior to 1696 the coinage of almost eyery country was brought into confusion by the practice of the kings and monarchs taking part of the metal out of each coin when it was brought to the mint. This is the origin of the word seigniorage. Senior means lord, and when the metal was brought he would take out a portion as his royalty. Some kings took more, some took less, but generally more. (Laughter.) Whenever a man got hold of a good coin he took a piece out of it. and so on till it reached such a degree of debasement that .no one could know what was meant by a shilling. Commerce was finally at a standstill, dlstres-s entered upon the country, and as usual there was an agitation such as we have in this country. And it was claimed that England would make herself . the richest country in the world by simply declaring that ninepence was a shilling. . But the English people suppressed Chamberlain and the Populists of tha t age, as the American people will suppress Bryan and the Populists of 1895. (Applause.) It was decided that there should be and could be but one coin for the standard of value; and. second, that It was of the foremost Importance that that coinage should be sound. And the English government, rising to the highest point of statesmanship at that time ever occupied by any country. Invited every holder of clipped or debased coin to bring it to the mint and promised to give them good coins for their bad ones. It cost the government JC3.000.OuO to coin 6.000,000. That Is to sav, they paid 50 per cent, of the total coinage in order to make the coin sound, but they succeeded; and that was the best investment ever made in the history of human enterprise. (Applause.) The "coinage of England became sound from that time. All over the world people began to bank with English bankers, because they knew they could get back the same coin that they deposited. Her wealth grew and multiplied . with every day, and now she Is exercising a power throughout the world vastly greater than she could do by her armies or her navies. And the facilities which she enjoys are hers, because she has had the sense to plant her monetary system upon a basis of honesty. (Applause.) And what England has done we can do. THE PROGRESS TO GOLD, f "Talk about the dollar of our fathers In a contest for commercial supremacy Is just about aa sensible an expression as the weapons of our fathers would be for a contest of territorial Integrity. (Applause.) The development from ail fer coinage to gold Is Just as natural' as the development from primitive plows to steam plows; just its natural aa the development from band

labor to labor by machinery. It Is a sign of progress. Nay, more. It is an inevitable result of progress. Every country that has achieved industrial greatness has adopted a gold standard. Every country that lags In the rear of progress still clings to the silver standard. (Applause.) No country in the world has deliberately adopted a silver standard. Those who maintain it to-day do so because they cannot help it. Nowhere has it been proposed that the coinage should be debased for the benefit of citizens except in the United States, and In the closing days of this nineteenth century, too. "Now, Mr. Bryan has told us all that can be said in support of this theory of improving the condition of men by reducing the purchasing power of their money. There is still a vague talk about bimetallism, the talk that it is better to have two metals than one. upon the general theory that some men believe it to be better to have two horses than one. They have an Idea If there be two metals in circulation there will be more money. Nothing can be more absurd than that. There can be no such thing as a double standard. The measuring of all commodities or labor or values by one commodity does not add anything to the value of the one commodity which we choose as the standard. It is simnly a mental comparison. "Silver Is kept on a parity with gold by a simplejroeess. The government issues it at 100 cents and agrees to take it back at a hundred cents, and that agreementkeeps the coin at a parity with gold. I could agree to take the chairman's tie at a hundred dollars, and I could make good that agreement; but suppose I was to say I would take all the ties in the world that could be delivered to me of that kind and pay a hundred dollars each. I would not redeem that promise very long. In about five minutes I would be swamped, even if I had all the wealth of the Vanderbllts and Astors behind me. "Mr. Bryan would have you believe that under' free coinage the government would give SI. 29 an ounce for silver that is to say STl1 grains of fine silver will be worth 109 cents. But there., again, Mr. Bryan shows he does not understand anything about what is meant by coinage. The government, under free coinage, does not fix any value -of the coinage at all. It does fix a value on coins under limited coinage. Mr. Bryan says when there are plenty of dollars it Is easier to get them than when they are not plenty, but how easier, or what is the method to get at them, or who is to get them, is a thing he does not explain, because he can't. BUSINESS NOW LANGUISHING. "The business of this country is languishing now because everywhere men are doubtful as to .the kind of money that will be received if they should part with money now. Everywhere men are gathering to themselves their commodities and their money, fearful of what may happen if Bryan should be elected. The amount of money In the country Is very small for the amount of business that is done. - The amount of money In circulation is a billion and a half. Every production of a dollar does not require a dollar in monev. I can take a dollar and buy fruit outside of this hall and the fruit dealer can buy neckties, and the man who sells neckties can in turn buy meat, and the man who deals in meat can buy some other commodity, and it may pass in twenty hands. "My friends, there can be no hatred of class In a country that understands the rules which govern mankind. When we see the spectacle of a man going across this country asking the people of the United States to intrust him with the powers and privileges of an office in which he will be called upon to administer the law, and bases his appeals to their suffrage upon appeals to their hatred and their distrust of each other, he shows that he misunderstands the purposes for which government is formed. He shows that he is not fit to be trusted by a people as honest and industrious as the American people. (Applause.) I do not object to anything that has occurred in this canvass. I am glad that the issue is present. A man never knows the quality of the ship in which he sails until she has been menaced by the tempest and the waves. (Applause.) . A man never knows the security of his government until he sees the assaults which it has been capable of repelling. We have seen this ship of state ride safely through the tempest and storm of civil war. We will see her ride safely through thfs tempest of hatred and strife sought to be aroused in the breasts of the American people by the agitators who think they can ride into power over the objections of the people; but they will find themselves thwarted by the intelligence and judgment of the American laborer. (Great applause.) If there were nothing Involved in this contest except the defeat of Mr. Bryan, I would not be here to-night for that is accomplished already. (Laughter.) There Is something more than that. We must not be content with a defeat bv a bare majority. We must not be willing to admit for an instant that there can even be a minority respectable in numbers found to support a programme so disreputable In its proposals. (Applause.) - This defeat must be so overwhelming that no demagogue will ever again find profit In attempting to turn discontent into disloyalty. (Applause.) The American people must show that on a moral question they are always unanimous. (Applause.) To promote tha t unanimity I am with you to-night. I have turned my back on the party which I have loved anil with which I have affiliated for over twenty years (applause), never before having scratched a ticket, ne;er having failed to vote fbr the Derr.'jcratic nominee for every office I was called upon to aid in filling." AOT PERSOAL,EXRMIES. Relations of Messrs. Copkrnii and Bryan In the House. The effect of the Cockran meeting was much discussed by politicians yesterday, and both Democrats and Republicans agreed that no stronger or more effective plea for sound money had been inaije during this campaign. After returning from

church' yesterday morning Mr. Cockran J neiu a sort or levee at the Oenlson, a large number of men of both parties calling to pay their respects and congratulate him upon his great speech. While he was talking Saturday evening one of the Topocrats in the audience remarked to the man next to him that Cockran was in the campaign against Bryan because they had been personal enemies In the House. This remark was repeated to Mr. Cockran yesterday, and he replied: "I am on excellent terms with Mr. Bryan. I went into his car a few days ago to see him. We sat in the same part of the hall, and when I was advocating the repeal of the Sherman bill Mr. Bryan questioned a statement, not as a fact, but because it was novel. 1 said that the bankers would make money by the change to a silver basis, because they are the largest debtors in the country debtors because they held the deposits of the people and could pay back the equivalent of gold received as deposits in depreciated silver. Mr. Bryan asked me why, if this was the case, they opposed the free coinage of silver. I replied that while not better than other men. bankers gener- I any naa learned mat honesty is the best policy. This was followed- by a friendly passage about the ethics of the question. An unkind word never passed between us." Ex-Governor Dingrley Here. Ex-Governor Dingley, of Maine, chairman of the House committee on ways and means, came in from the meeting in Fcndleton late Saturday night. He was delighted with the gathering and with the spirit and enthusiasm dlap!ayt-t. Mr. Dingley is not an emotional politician, but a very close-observing and practical man ol large experience. He knows as much about tariff-making as any man In the country. At the hotel he received much attention from the large number of Republicans about the Denison. He has the fullest confidence in the election of McKinley. Having made three speeches In Ohio and visited Major McKlnley, he said Ohio is surely Republican by a large majority, because the business men are in favor of sound money and the farmers and factory people are firm believers in protection. He left the city yesterday afternoon to fill an appointment north, but will speak at the great meeting at Greenfield Tutsday. ' THE TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE. Railroad Official Believe the Men Will Soon Surrender. MONTREAL, Quebec. Oct. 4. The Canadian Pacific telegraphers strike cannot last much longer, according to the officials of the road. They claim that on three divisions, the Quebec and Ontario and from the Soo to Sudbury, everything is working in first-class shap?, and on other divisions matters are approaching a normal condition. Freight is now being moved in good shape. Squads of special constables have gone north from this city and Toronto to the North Bay and Sudbury districts, where trouble always seems to crop up when a strike is In progress. The people strongly sympathize with the strikers, and they even go so tar as to abuse the new operators. Several of them have been practically driven from their positions, and it Is to protect them that the police have been sent out. A special dispatch from Cartler to-night stated that a fight was expected at Warren. A special train was being sent there with police.

MR. BURKHART'S DENIAL

A POPILIST LEADER GROSSLY MAMGNKD BY THE SESTINEL Further Report of the Enthnsiaxtic Republican Halite Held on fntarday. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TIPTON, Ind.. Oct. 3. In the desperate effort3 of the Indianapolis Sentinel to cast odium on all Populists and to make it appear, that they are all subject to bargain and tale, an alleged conversation, claimed to have been held on a street car en route to Irvington, was published in last Friday's Sentinel casting reflection on Alonzo G. Burkhart, a prominent Populist farmer residing a few miles from this city. Mr. Burkhart is a member of the Populist State central committee, and Is also a member of the committee of thirteen appointed to treat with the Popocrats on the question of fusion. The Sentinel's story was to the effect that Mr. Burkhart had been approached by a Republican and was offered $2,000 if Me would use his influence to prevent fusion between the Populists and Popocrats on the Indiana electoral ticket. Last night Mr. Burkhart made a speech in this city, in which he made the public declaration that at no time and under no circumstances was he approached by any one who offered money, directly or indirectly, and that the story was all made up. He Is most indignant over the false publication. The Populists in this county are opposed to fusion. "Wayne County Politic. Special to tbi Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 4. On Wednesday evening next the Hon. John Dalzell, of Pittsburg, will speak in Richmond. On the evening of the 14th the party of famous generals will visit the city and a number of committees are now engaged In preparing for the meeting. Two large tents have been secured at Cincinnati, and they will be thrown together for one meeting, while another will be held at one of the opera houses. This occasion will be made the greatest one, locally, of the campaign. At the trl-county rally at College Corner, O., yesterday afternoon. Representative James E. Watson was to have spoken, but illness prevented him from doing so, and Representative Henry U. Johnson consented to fill the engagement. Mr. Johnson had a great meeting at Strawn's Friday afternoon. The crowd that attended was estimated at 1.500 and Included delegations from Ntv LUsbon, Milton, Cambridge City and othr points. A part of the visiting delegation came in eleven big wagons, drawn by a traction engine. The Hon. P. O. Roberts, of Chicago (colored), spoke here last night at the Second Baptist Church to the colored people of the city. A fair-sized audience heard him and the speech Is pronounced an excellent one. He left here to-day for Knightstown and will also speak at some half a dozen other places in the State. The date of the Hon. John L. Griffiths's meeting here has been changed from Oct. 9 to Oct. 2.1. This was made necessary owing to the fact that he accompanies the T. P. A. delegation of this State to Canton on the 9th in the capacity of orator. Representative James E. Watson, who was prevented by illness from speaking here on Thursday night last, has promised to return and will be back on the 16th if he can get released from an engagement In Hancock county for that time. Dr. Lucas, of Indianapolis, will speak at Centerville to-morrow night and at Greensfork on Tuesday night. Warren G. Sayre, of Wabash, also speaks In this county on those two dates. John F. Joyce, of Rushvllle. had a -good meeting at Milton last night. Bennett Gordon and William Converse, both of this city, spoke at Williamsburg, and W. A. Bond, of this city, spoke at a pole-raising on the Middleboro pike. On Tuesday evening J. F. Reeves, a local banker, who is doing much good for the cause of sound money, will speak at Whitewater. At Hagersfown, on Oct. 8, will occur one of , the biggest rallies that the Republicans in Wayne county have had. It will be an all-day affair, with the Hon. Edward S. Elliott, of West Virginia, mid Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, as orators. People from all around are preparing to attend this meeting. Mount' Bis: Plymouth Meeting. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PLYMOUTH, Ind., Oct. 4. Hon. James A. Mount addressed one of the largest political meetings ever held in this county at the courtyard, in Plymouth. Saturday. The speaker was introduced by Hon. H. G. Thayer, and for two hours he held his audience of more than five thousand. There was no attempt at a rally. The farmers and workingmen came to town in wagons and on trains from every direction, and Mr. Mount declared that it was one of the largest, most orderly and attentive crowds he ever ' addressed. Mr. Mount's speech is universally conceded one of the best ever dellved here. He proved conclusively from government statistics that the repeal of the McKlnley law destroyed our foreign market, stopped our manufactories, deprived our laborers of employment, reduced the sales of all farm products, and almost brought ruin to the country. He showed that the Republican party had always been the friend of silver, and that it is the Democratic party that seeks to dishonor silver by bringing United States dollars to a level with those of Mex ico and Peru. It was a great day for the Republicans of Marshall county. They are gaining ground every day, and will give McKinley and Mount a majority. Hon. C. F. Kemy. candidate for Reporter of the Supreme Court, addressed a large audtence In the evening at the McKinley clubroom. DlnRley at Pendleton Rally. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PENDLETON, Ind., Oct. 4. The Republican rally here Saturday was in every sense of the word a grand success. It ex ceeded the expectations of the most sanguine. The meeting was addressed by Hon. Nelson Dingley, of Maine, and Hon. Charles L. Henry, Representative in Congress from the Seventh, district. The speeches were devoted especially to the money question, and were received with great favor by as many of the vast audience as could get in hearing distance. Mr. Dingley stated that it was the largest audience he had addressed this campaign outside of a large city, and the crowd was variously estimated at from 6,000 to 10.01)0. The Pendleton and Knlghtstcwn and the Anderson and Lapel bands furnished the music. There were three or four visiting wheel delegations in the procession besides the local organization. The procession, on the way to the fair grounds, was two miles long and over an hour passing a given point. Hanly Speaks in WHIianinport. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WILLIAMSPORT, Ind., Oct. 4. A McKinley pole was raised on the common this afternoon in the presence of 1,000 people. Immediately after the pole raising the crowd went to the new opera house and listened to a speech by Hon. A. S. Love, of Danville. 111. In the vening the people flocked to the opera house and filled it to overflowing to hear Congressman J. Frank Hanly in this, his home town. Mr. Hanly was accorded an ovation. Many times in the course of his speech he was cheered to the echo. He dwelt at length on the tariff Question, and attributed our present industrial distress to so-called tariff reform, and not monetary legislation. Land is In Hamilton County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NOBLESVILLE, Ind.. Oct. 4. Hon. Charles B. Landls, candidate for Congress, made eight speeches in this county last week, and at all his meetings great crowds turned out. Last night he closed his week's work with a meeting In this city. It was the largest demonstration here thus far in the campaign. Delegations were present with bands, drum corps and glee clubs from Cicero. Arcadia. Atlanta. Sheridan and Westtield. Two hundred veterans escorted Landis to the opera house. Nearly as many were turned away as tr- number that crowded in. Overflow meetings were held on the streets and addressed by other speakers. At Worthlnpcton "Wiiovnm. Special to the Indianarwlls Journal. WORTHINGTON. Ind., Oct. 4. Hon. W. M. Kenney spoke last evening at the. wigwam at this place, and, for, two hours the vast audience was held by his eloquence. He gave an object lesson on the silver question, so thoroughly exposing the 16-to-1 fallacy that even a child could understand. Mr. Kenney is a young minister of

the gospel, but feels that his duty to his country demands his best efforts in her present time of need. Glee clubs from Fairplay. Tulip and Highland furnished music. Mr. Tommy Ballard. leader of the Highland club, sang several songs of his own composition, which were heartily applauded.

. O'Hara in Vermillion County. Sjecial to the Indianapolis Journal. NEWPORT, Ind.. Oct. 3. The Hon. J. W. O'rfara, the eloquent Irish orator, of Peru, spoke at Quaker Thursday night in a big tent that would not accommodate onefourth the crowd. After the speech a lifelong Democrat came forward, congratulated Mr. O'Hara and joined the McKinley club. O'Hara yesterday afternoon spoke at Hillsdale, about 1.500 people being present. Before the speaking a McKinley pole was raised. Ora D. Davis. Republican candidate for joint Representative of the shoe-string district, is also canvassing the county and having good meetings.

STILL COIM.NG SILVER. Carlisle Say IKIS.OIZ.SIZ Have Been Turned Out This Year, LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 4. In reply to a letter from the Courier-Journal to Secretary Carlisle, asking for information concering the coinage of silver, Secretary Carlisle replies in part as follows: "From Jan. 1. 1S96. to Sept. 30. 18H6. standard silver dollars have been coined at the mints of the United States to the amount of $13,912,512. Since Nov. 1. 1S93, the date of the repeal of the purchasing clause of the so-called Sherman act. standard silver dollars have been coined in the United States to amount of $17,869,491, or more than twice as much as was coined during the whole period of our history prior to 1S7S." "The coinage of standard dollars is going on every day at our mints, and during the last month it amounted to $2,700,000. About the same amount will be coined during the present month. The seigniorage, or gain, which has been aded to the circulation on account of the coinage since Nov. 1. 1S93, is about $o.700,000, and the seigniorage or gain in the coinage of last month was about $900,000. Sa One to See Bryan Off. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4. W. J. Bryan left St. Louis to-night on a special train for Memphis at 8 o'clock. During the' day he spent most of the time in bed recuperating from the fatigues of the past week. He did not arise until 5 o'clock. From that hour untir the time for the departure of his special train he was besieged by visitors. Mr. Bryan did not go to church to-day. Nor did he leave the hotel until he started for the train. - There was no crowd around the depot when the train left, as it was not generally known that the presidential candidate was to leave the city to-night.

Valunhle Document on the Venezuelan Boundary Dispute Have Been Brought Back. NEW YORK, Oct. 4. Frederick R. Coudert, the eminent lawyer and member of the Venezuelan Commission appointed by President Cleveland to Investigate the Venezuelan boundary question, returned to this city from The Hague on the French line steamer La Bourgogne. Mr. Coudert went abroad for the purpose of examining the old Dutch records relating to the Venezuelan boundary, and has spent considerable time over the government archives, with the result that quite an array of new testimony bearing on the point at Issue has been unearthed. Mr. Coudert was seen to-night concerning the results of his trip. He said that much had been accomplished. "Immediately upon my arrival at The Hague," said he, "I met Prof. P.arr, of Cornell University, who, as the representative of the commission, had already rpent much time in gathering data. Together we went through the records very thoroughly. "Then we went to London, where many of the records were transferred at the time of the purchase of Guiana In 1815. Many of these records had already been published by the British government, and very fairly. We found other useful evidence there, however, and both In London and Holland met with uniform courtesy in the prosecution of our search." "Were all the records prior to 1S13 transferred to London at the time of the sale?" was asked. "No. Indeed," said Mr. Coudert quickly, "not all of them. We found fome very valuable papers in the old Dutch records." Just how valuable these were or what they tended to establish Mr. Coudert would not difclose, but reiterated his statement that they were very valuable. Another useful source of information, he said, was the Propaganda at Rome, where some most valuable records were found. "The pioneers In this territory," he said, "were monks, chiefly of the rder of Capuchins, and their reports to their homo order contain much information which both parties to the controversy have been allowed to avail themselves of." Regarding the correspondence which has passed between Secretary Olney and Lord Salisbury recently Mr. Coudert said: "I understand that the correspondence den Is with the subject of arbitration generally and cannot be specifically applied to tho Venezuelan controversy. The recent vMt of Joseph Chamberlain did not. In my opinion, have any connection with this matter. So far as I know, officially, nothing further has been accomplished In the matter than when I left, anci if any negotiations are being couducted by the executives of the government to settle It they are unknown to me. I cannot say when the commissioners' report will be ready nor whether It will be finished before President Cleveland's term of ofllce expires." Bourke Cockran Attend las.
