The IVmoe-ratic "tariff for revenue

He now stands in the position of a cap

giving him the power to appoint the

true Imundary line between the rrpul

He was given the largest liberty as to
the choice of commissioners aud their

to defray their exiH-nses. Whatever
may lie the finding of this commission,
the country will have confidence in it,
and diKiUless this government will ac-

Th at tl rover Cleveland paltered with

flagrant case of bad faith and a lack

ABOUT VENEZUELA.
Some Facts Which He Not Appeared in j
the Diplomatic Correspondence.
From the New York un.
The area of Venezuela is 632,000 square
miles, larger than that of any country In
Euroe except Russia, and larger than
that of any State in the Lnited States.
The area of Texas is 2ti5,nu0 square mile.
The population of Venezuela by the
last census was 2,550.0' . This is more
than Henniark's and less than Switzer
land's. It is about the same a that of
Massachusetts. The last official estimate
of the population of Massachusetts, made
on Jan. 1, 1SU, was 2,472,0(11). By the I ed
eral census of five years ago, the popu
lation of Massachusetts, was 2.2TW,iX.
Caracas, the capital and chief city of
Venezuela, has a opiilation of 70,000, or
less than that of Fall Kivcr. It is lsiilt
on an elevation of3,n"0 feet aliove the sea
level. It was founded in 15i7. Caracas
is an Indian name; the name of the In"
dians of the neighborhood which the
Spanish pioneers affixed to the original
title of the new town, Santiago de Ieon.
In 1812, the year of the latest American
war w ith Great Britain, an earthquake in
Caracas buried 12,oim persons in the ruins
of a part of the city. The date of this
earthquake was March 2d.
There are 200,0i,0ofl acres of foreest
lauds in the republic of Venezuela. Itose
wood, satinwood, mahogany, and white
and black ebony are found.
The distance from New Y'ork to La
Guayra, the port of Caracas, is 2,200 miles.
In addition to coffee, gold, and fine
woods, Venezuela exports hides cocoa,
and cattle. The distance from La Ctuayra
to Loudon is nearly 5,000 miles.
The salary of the American Minister to
Venezuela is f7,oi0. The rank of Ven
ezuela's representative at Washington is
thatofF.nvoy Extraordinary and Min
ister Plenijiotei.tiary. Although Ven
ezuela has been for many years a re

observance of official etiquette. A con

On the north shore of Venezuela, or
rather to the north of that republic, are

The length of Venezuela from east t
west is 't miles, aud from north to south

The coffee crop of Venezuela amounts
to ?I5,0o0,0o'i a year in value. The aver
age crop is tiUJiio ton of coffee. Two-
thirds of this product is exported, mostly
to F.nirlaiid. Maracalbo is ene of the
centres of trade; Maraeaibo coffee
known everywhere.
Venezuela first made declaration of Its
independence in lsio. Tho present
republic was formed in IS 10, in the same
year that ISelgiuni leeaiiie an indepen

parties iu Venezuela are the Unionists
and the Federalists. The former favor

for home rule. Itoth are opposed to for-
eiun invasion, encroachment, or can

The average gold product of Venezuela
in a year is jl,'Kl,i'). The standard
value in the republic of Venezuela is the
bolivar, so called after Simon lkilivar.
and the value of it is the same as a Fretn

Within View of Havana.
Havana, Jan. 4. Unless all indica
tions are misleading, the end or tlie
Cuban insurrection is at hand, and tho
result, it would seem, must lie in favor
of the insurgents whose armies under
Maximo Gomez, Antonio Maeeo and
Quintin Bandera, are nearing this city
from throe different directions
Thealiove facts, so frequently denied
in official circles during the past two
weeks, are no-.v generally admitted, al
though all sorts of lame ofticia! esplaiia
tionsof tho triumphant advance of tho
Cubans are nut forth in the hope of
calmir.tr imblic excitement. But no
amount of argument will alter the fact
that the insurgent cavalry scouts were
sighted from here this morning. It is
probable that the camp tires on ono wing
of the insurgent army will lie seen from
this city to-night. In fact, it is claimed
that Bandera will camp this evening at
the Vcnto farm, within ri!le shot of tho
outposts of the Spaniards
It is no longer a cry of "i n to Havana"
from the Cubans. They aro here and
slowly but surely surrounding tho cap
tal after a triumphant march from the
eastern end of Santiago de Cuba, in spite
of all the best troops of Spain could do to
prevent them. Step by step General
Campos has lieen driven back la-fore the
advance of tho victorious, army, until
now preparations are ls-ing completed on
Kth sides for the final and decisive
struggle.
The utmost consternation prevails in
ffovernment circles. The otlicials are
blaming the different Spanish general
for this condition of affairs utterly re
gardless of the fact that it was
Campos's plan of campaign, tho wil
scattering of his forces all over the islam
which is mainly to blame for this crisis,
although other indtieuces have had
great share in tho bitter humiliation :

People from the districts around
Havana are Hocking into this city. Tlie
price of provisions baa already liegun to
iro un alarmingly. In the streets the
hustle and bustle of the military is vis
ible. Every man or boy who can lie
placed under arms has lieen called upon,
and warships have landed every man
and every gun available for the defense
of the city. In the face of these prepara
tions to repel the enemy from without
most vigorous plans have also been made
to battle with an enemy within. The
authorities lielieve that when the in
surgent guns are heard in the distance it
viU be the signal for a popular uprising
here, which, will divert attention from the
biiemy and enable the latter to make a
dash ium Havana, which is exiieetod to
end the war and euaUu Cuba to gain her

was given a p-tstage stair.p. While she
was moistening tha paste a draught from
tho c.irridor caused her to sneeze. Out
of her mouth flew a set of pearly teeth,
which a bystander hastily picked up,
and turned to present them to the owner,
but she had fled.
Then the teeth were taken to the su

name of the United States, as trustee for
the owner. If she d.ies not appear, and
it is not believed that she will, ihe teeth

Frank James as a Soldier.
From the Chicago I'lintnicle,
St. Loots, Mo., J in. 1. In case, of war
with England the state of Missouri will
furnishat least ono .colonel to' the gov
ernment, providing, of course the govern
ment is willing. to acccplj him, which is
doubtful. He has had experience in all
kinds of warfare, from snipping a mili
tary wagon train to holding up a non-
military railroad train, and w hatevcrelse
may lie said of him his peculiar tactics
have generally met with success His
name is Frank James, ami he is at pres
ent a law-abiding citizen of St. Ixiuis
James has to all outward appearances
reformed. He has an ieteresting family,
including a lsiy nearly grown, who is, or
was until recently, a student of the Mar-
maduke Military academy. Frank him
self holds a position of great trust and
handles other people's money daily. A
little past middle age, he is as mild in
manner as hois retiring in disosition.
aud about the ouly thing that can excite
him is a horse race or a eulogy on one of
his old comrades
He is not without moral courage, cither,
for recently an Illinois farmer, half drunk
became angered at him, not knowing
who he was nd struck him an open
handed blow iu the face. James' face
flushed for an instant, and involuntarily
has hand sought his hip pocket. Sud
denly he checked himself, bit his lip and
walked away.
Afterward he said to a friend : "For me
there is no past and very little individual
ity. I live wholly on the future and tho
prospects of my children. I shall do
nothing that will taar those prospects in
the least. I expect to make some sort of
sacrifice for them every day from now as
long as I live."
There is not the slightest doubt that
James could recruit a regiment in Mis
souri as quickly, perhaps more quickly,
than any other man save one Gen. Joe
Shelby. It would be strange, indeed, if
he should close his peculiar career in
fighting the battles of the country w hich
he once fought in time of war, and whose
civil authorities ho so long defied in lime
of peace.

To lie able to send one's paper every

No doubt its largo circulation has had
something to do with the awakening of
