KING AS ARBITRATOR OSCAR OF SWEDEN TO HELP SETTLE THE VENEZUELAN DISPUTE. Secretary Olney and Einhu'sador I'aunee fote Reach an Agreement—An Informal Treaty lletween Great Ilritain and the I'uitod States Sketch of King Oscar. WASHINGTON', NOV. 11.—The king of j Sweden and Norway, Oscar 11. has lieen i chosen by treaty 1 n't ween the United J States and Great Britain as the fifth or ! final arbitrator of the Venezuela boundary question. The other arbitrators, four in j number, are to lie designated, two by the lord chief justice of England and two by the chief justice of the United States. This is the final and the most important feature of the treaty for the complete ad justment of the long pending Venezuela controversy. The treaty was concluded In Washington at the British embassy, Sir Julian Pauncefote representing her Britan nie majesty and Secretary Olney the j United States. Since the return of Sir ! Julian from London, three weeks ago, ne gotiations toward a final settlement have : l)een proceeding. Most of the meetings i were of such an important character that j they were held either at Mr. Olney's resi dence or at the British embassy, the two I houses being but two blocks apart. It J happened that the concluding meeting was j ut the emlMissy Monday night, and special j KINO OSCAR, interest was given to it from the fact that Lord Salisbury, the British premier, was to make a speech at Guildhall, London, later in the evening. It is an annual event, at which the premier usually takes occa sion to review the status of the most im portant international questions. For this reason it was desired, if possible, to ac quaint Lord Salisbury of the final and sat isfactory adjustment of the Venezuela question in order that he might make such announcement as he thought fit concern ing it. When Mr. Olney and Sir Julian had their final conclusions, a cablegram was at once dispatched to Lord Salisbury, notifying him of the result. It reached him within one hour of the time when he went on the platform at Guildhal, and it was the basis for his announcement to England and to the entire world that the Venezuela controversy was settled. Was a General Agreement. It was a general announcement, without detail and without any reference to the personnel of the court of arbitration. Thus, Washington and London partici pated in this eventful scone by which the two leading English speaking nations reach an amicable means of adjusting the most troublesome international question of revent years. Although Lord Salis bury's statement was without details, it is possible to give all of the essential fea tures of the treaty concluded in Washing ton. The main point, as is already stated, is that King Oscar 11. whose fuil title is "king of Sweden and Norway, the Goths and Vandals," is the fifth or decisive arbi trator. It was deemed lx\st to make this choice rather than to leave it to the selec tion of the other four arbitrators. The latter are assured of liclng men of eminent judicial attainment, as their choice is left entirely to the judiciary of the respective countries. The other essential feature of the treaty is that 5b years' actual possession is to con stitute title. With this limitation as to the settled districts, the entire sweep of Venezuela boundary is placed in the hands of the court of arbitration. The treaty covers only Venezuela, and the question of general arbitration between the United States and Great Britain is left to future negotiations. As a king seldom leaves his country, except on state visits to other sovereigns, it is not expected that King Oscar II will go outside of Sweden for 1 the meeting of the arbitrators, and the court is likely to sit at Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, where King Oscar's paluce and the halls of the Swedish par liament are located. Regarded as a Wise Choice. The choice of King Oscar appears to have been a most fortunate one, as he is universally regarded as a man of great at tainments, of judicial temperament and of eminent fairness. Among the monurchs of Europe he is probably the most popular, as lie goes freely among the peoplo and is thoroughly democratic in his ways. The feeling entert/fined for him is shown by the fact that the Scandinavian residents of the I nited States are at present raising large sums with which to buy him a pres ent on the celebration of bis sixty-fifth birthday. He is known also as The Giant King, as he stands > feet 8 inches in height, tower ing above most men and a central figure ' in all assemblages. He conies from noble stock, being the grandson of the French marshal, Bornadotte, who is considered first among the marshals of France, and, save Napoleon himself, undoubtedly the greatest character upheaved by the French revolution. King Oscar has long shown a most cor dial sentiment toward the United States, and this doubtless had a part in his selec tion. General Thomas, U. S. A., and his brother, Hon. W. W. Thomas, late United States minister to Sweden, gave interest ing accounts of the king's cordiality to ward America. At an audience In Stock holm. King Oscar asked with especial in terest of General Thomas concerning American affairs, particularly inquiring as to the Greeley relief expedition, the status of the Mormon question, dynamite plots, Ericsson numitors as an implement In future warfare, the condition of the negro and of the south and their future and the character and lientof the American people. General Thomas' Ten Picture. General Thomas gives the following pen picture of the king: "A middle aged gen tleman, dressed in a double breasted frock coat of black diagonal and pearl gray trousers, with full beard and dark hair, just beginning to turn gray, carrying his (j feet 8 inches with a grace and activity that, wore he an utterly unknown man walking down Broadway, would cause many to turn and look at him." King Oscar is not only a ruler whose statesmanship has advanced Norway and Sweden, but ho has also a reputation I throughout Europe as a linguist, an author | and poet and musician. He speaks half a ' dozen languages fluently and has a thor | ough command of English, which will he j of especial advantage in the present arbi i tration. His poems are widely read and ! translated and have taken prizes in the j Koyal Academy of Art. His magnetic qualities have led to his lxdng likened to the late James G. Blaine, and a Swedish 1 lady, on being introduced to Mr. Blaine, exclaimed, "Ah, he is magnetic; he is like j my kipg." While most cordial toward the United ! States, King Oscar is not the loss friendly to Great Britain, although there are no ties of immediate kinship with the British , royal family. He is, however, a warm personal friend of the Prince of Wales, who I visited him at Stockholm in 1885, when a l royal elk hunt through the woods of Fwedcn took place. His special ally is Em peror William, who visited him last year. ; The learning and judicial fairness which King Oscar has shown in several recent ' arbitrations has led to the feeling that he i is pre-eminently qualified for the responsi bility involved in his present choice by the I United States and Great Britain. It May Embrace Cuba. | NF.W YORK, NOV. 11.—Julian Ralph, j the London correspondent of The Journal, "The most important information 1 j reached concerning the international ! scheme f <fr the settlement of the Vene zuelan dispute is that it is the scope of j the plan for the new court, now roughly ! agreed on between England and the United l States, to embrace within its jurisdiction I matters far beyond the present time—far , beyond the importance of the Venezuelan i difficulty. j "If congress ratifies the arrangement, as England surely will, I am told that the new international court is likely to take I rank in history with the past congresses at Vienna, Berlin ami Berne, because it is aimed to make it a perpetual institution for the hearing and settlement, of all cases of complaint or irritation between the two j "Indeed *it is said that already both governments are discussing the advantage | of leaving to this court the final dlsposi ; tion of the stat us of Cuba among the na tions as soon as the Venezuela difficulty is settled. " England is said to be as anxious for this action as is the United States, because her immense tobacco and cigar trade with Cuba is prostrate, causing a great loss to English operators. "I am told that the attitude of England favors an agreement that America should hold future supervision over Cuba. She knows that the other powers will not ob ject to this mode of ending the impotent ; reign of Spain in that island, and she also knows that she will not be allowed by either Europe or America to exercise this suzerainty herself."

He Denies That the Eccentric Wo*- fin's Great Fortune Had Iteen Reduced He fore Iler Death—She Made Large He quests to Loyal Servants. NEW YORK, NOV. 11.—The odd will of that <Hld woman, Mrs. Hicks-Lord, is to he contested by her favorite nephew. J. W. H. Crommelinof Amsterdam. Holland. During her long stays abroad Mrs. Hicks-Lord often made the ancestral home of the Crommelins her own. Her nephew knew nothing of her death till a friend in New York sent him a newspaper contain ing a two column account of it. This news was closely followed by letters telling of her strange will and intimating that the estate had not crumbled away by her use of the principal, as was reported at the time, but that instead of a paltry $400,- 000 she still retained some of the many millions that had come to her by inheritance and her two mar riages. Mr. Crommelin is a well known hanker in Amsterdam, and his family is one of the most famous in Holland. He decided to visit America and find out the truth for himself. He arrived hero oil the Nether lands-American liner Spnnrndam a week ago last Sunday. He brought letters to American branches of Amsterdam houses, and through them a law firm has been en gaged to.investigate the circumstances of the preparing of the will and to bring the contest. Mr. Crommelin has been enjoy ing himself in New York In a social way and is now on a sightseeing tour in Wash ington. The papers will probably be served within a few days. Mrs. Hleks-Lord was born in Surinam, Dutch Guiana, in 1827. Her great-grand father was Sir Francis Ruinbout, an Eng lish gentleman, who two centuries ago got ti concession 12 miles long and 0 miles wide on both sides of Fishkill creek, parts >f which have since been owned by such New York families as the Kips, Van Court la ndts and Scheneks. Acquired a Fortune In Dutch Guiana. Sir Francis married a Sohenck, and Ab ncr 11., their son, married a Miss Wlltse. Their daughter Adeline was the mother of Mrs. Hicks-Lord. Her father was Unico Peter Wiikins, whose sister was the ances tor of the contestant. ('rominclin Wiikins, the father of Mrs. Hicks-Lord, was a rich Dutch planter, who acquired a fortune in Dutch Guiana. The family returned to Mat tea wan, where the father died. Asa young and pretty girl Annette Wii kins was married to Henry Hicks, a New York shipping merchant, many years older than herself. He died in 18(10, leaving her ;i large fortune, including a mansion at 10 West Fourteenth street and valuable lands in Toledo. Mrs. Hicks was married later to Thom as Lord, a New York millionaire, nearly 80 years old, who had four sons and two (laughters. Among the sons was Frank Lord, the famous pistol shot, who is oven better known in Kuroi>cthun in America. Thomas Lord lived at 85 West Seventeenth street. He was the youngest of seven broth ers. who had come to New York from East Haddani, Conn. The wedding took place at Mattoawan on Dee. 81, 1877. The Lord family made a terrible row, for the old man was worth $0,000,000. The strangely assorted couple were in hiding for a long time. Detectives searched for them in the south, and they were finally found living in her West Four teenth street mansion. At night they did not venture to have lights. On Jan. 8. 1878, Justice Van Brunt signed an order forbidding Lord to dis pose of his property, and it was shown that lie had given his wife $2,000 a week for some time before their marriage. The suit was settled during that year by Mr. Lord giving his property into the hands of trus tees and his wife relinquishing her dower rights, lie died a year later, leaving the hulk of his property to his widow. Mm. Hicks-Lord's Lavish Expenditure*. Mrs. Hicks Lord bought the mansion at 82 West Washington square, which for three winters had been tenanted by Gener al George B. MeClellan and his family. She gave there such entertainments as New York had never seen and always wore her $20,000 stomacher of diamonds. There, in her breakfast room, hung the maps of her property, and there she did business with a shrewdness that was the marvel of her friends. There she died on the night of Aug. 5 last of cerebral apoplexy and was hurled in the Schenek plot at Fishkill. In her house was a great collection of paintings, jewels and priceless enamels. It was reported aft er her death that she had sold the house and was living in it at a rental of $4,000, also that her property had dwindled from millions to hundreds of thousands. Her will, which is now to be contested, was read oi*. Sept. 28. The residuary estate was left to her nephew, Jefferson Fletcher, and to her cousin, Sarah E. Townsend. The bequests which excited comment were those made to the few trusted servants, who had been long in her employ and had stood by her through thick and thin. To her colored maid, Maria Miller, who had been with her 85 years, she left an annuity of SIOO a week for life. To Thom as Dyer, her coachman, who had been in her employ 22 years, she left $25 a week for life. The maid also got some of the most valuable furniture. The parlor maid, Margaret Vincent, got $35 a week for life. Young Fletcher got an annuity of S4OO a month for life, valuable lands at Hicks ville, (>., and furniture. Anna Ward got Mrs. Hicks Lord's famous yellow diamond earrings and Sarah E. Townsend her gowns and bric-a-brac. The Audubon books with silver bindings, the stuffed birds and the volumes on arctic explora tion went to the Lenox library and her famous Crawford paintings to the Metro politan museum. Reinsen Parsons of 00 Wall stroot filed the will, of which the exocutors are George Bell and Thomas S. Townsend. Fatal Gas Explosion.

WILL BLACKBURN SHOOT? | Some Think Hid Quarrel With Lngnn Car lisle May Have a Fatal Knding. NEW YORK, NOV. 11.—Tlio World's ! Washington correspondent says: , The enmity iK'twwn Senator Blackburn ( "f Kentucky and Logan Carlisle, chief j elerk of the treasury department and son of the secretary of the treasury, has at i length reached the point where the friends ; of both men are seriously discussing the probability of an armed encounter the first time they meet. The haunts of both men are the same, and it is almost certain that I within a few days they will IK; brought ; face to face. What the outcome will then i lie is what southerners and Washington people generally are trying to decide. Senator Blackburn is a man of fiery temper and speech and is easily moved to threats of death and destruction. So far. I however, all thedisasters predicted by him have been happily averted. Logan Carlisle is a quiet, phlegmatic young man, of slow, deliberate speech and even temper. His hatred of Blackburn, however, is of the I steady, glowing order that with provoca tion may stir him to violent action. '1 he feud between the Blackburns null Carlisles is an old one, and their enmity in Kentucky has burned at a steady heat since Blackburn's entrance into public life. The campaign which lias just closed tinned this hatred into a blaze. There were incidents both in the Blue Grass state and in Washington which singled out Blackburn and Logan Carlisle as per sonal and political enemies. Throughout his tour of the state Senator Blackburn constantly referred to Secretary Carlisle in an insulting and contemptuous At Owentown Senator Blackburn said among other things, "Tho people in hell are more entitled to be called Christians than the people in the Indianapolis con vention are to lit; called Democrats." Dur ing this speech, in speaking of the bond sales, he said: "We know that Morgan & Co. got a few millions of the money, but who got the balance? I don't say Carlisle got it, but somebody did."

LONDON, Nov. 11. —Truth has an article covering \V> pages, headed "The Mun chausen of Monkeyland." dealing with Professor Garner, who claims to have dis tinguished words in a monkey language, and his book, repeating the old charges made by Truth of imposture, and declar ing that the whole story of Professor Gar ner's adventures among the gorillas is an impudent humbug. The article suggests that the French missionaries at Fornanvoz, to whom it alleges Professor Garner gave a promissory note for 500 francs for board and lodging, should sign a judgment in England on the unpaid bill and should attach the proceeds of Ids book. Truth concludes that this would set at rest for ever the question of where Professor Gar ner really spent those 100 days and nights. Suffocated ly Gas. PHILADELPHIA.

They were found lying on the floor of the kitchen of the house by a daughter of the old cou ple, when she returned from work, and it is not known how the catastrophe occur red. It is supposed, however, that while Mrs. Docrfel was ironing, her dresscaught the stopcock of a gas stove in the room and turned on the deadly fluid. Docrfel had practically lost the use of smell, a"d Ids wife was suffering from a violent cold, so that neither could detect the presence of gas in the room and were unaware of it until they toppled over.

Uncle Sam's Cruiser Helped a British Skipper In Rescuing Refugees From Turkish Assassins—* Admiral Selfrldge Threatened to Bombard the Town. NEW YORK, NOV. 11.—The steamship Boy no of tho Mercantile Steamship com pany of London has arrived at this port from Gibraltar and Mediterranean ports. Captain Fischer told a remarkable story to Collector of the Port Kilbreth, Law Officer Phelps and Special Deputy Naval Officer Gout-ley of the customs department as to why he had entered port without a manifest. Tho British steamship Boyne lay at an chor off Smyrna, Turkey in Asia, on Oct. 10. There had been several riots in Smyr na for three or four days before. The din of another conflict reached the cars of tiie Boyne's captain about 7 o'clock in the evening, and the cries of the victims of the assassins came over the waters. An hour afterward a small lioat came up beside the British steamship, and an aged man begged permission to go aboard. With him were six others, three of them women, all Armenian refugees. Captain Fischer as sented. He fed them, cared for them and gave them the protection of his flag. Fischer said he was bound for America, and in order to lie on tho safe side the ref ugees were registered as passengers. Not long afterward a boatload of Turks, under an officer, rowed up alongside, and the forces came aboard. Captain Fischer admitted that he had the refugees on his vessel, but refused to deliver them over. He drew up his crew of brawny men, and the Turkish officer wild he would give the Britisher until the morning to turn over the Armenians. After the Turks had left his vessel Captain Fischer manned a boat and moved stealthily away from the ship to secure assistance. He visited an )tn]Ua n man-of-war, but the commander denied ids right or wish to interfere, as he was there to protect the subjects of King Hum bert, he said. Aid From the Minneapolis. Captain Fischer had at length to give up the search, and, returning to his vessel, made all preparations for a run for it. When dawn came, however, out of the mists, away down the bay, the outlines of a white hull appeared. The great white stranger was tho United States warship Minneapolis. The British llag was sent swinging out upside down, and the Min neapolis lookout saw the signal of distress. Captain Fischer put off in a small boat and was royally roccivcd. He told his story, and Admiral Thomas Q. Solfridge, Jr.., commander of the European squad ron, said: "We'll give you all tho assistance you want. You'll take those refugees safely out of this port if I've got to bombard the town," and the admiral ordered off tho 1 large, with a detail of marines and blue jackets, over to the British ship with or ders to hold her safe from attack. Then the American consul was sent for, and it was agreed that the Boyne should sail at once under the escort of the Minneapolis. Soon bloody Smyrna was many miles behind, but the captain had forgotten his manifest. Mora Armenians Killed.
