Washihgtok, Nov, 27 The convention which the British Ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefortet and Secretary Olney .have been preparing, looking to settlement of claims for seizures in Behrinsr sea is so nearly com pleted that' it will probably be sent to the Senate next week. It provides for a mixed commissi m to assess the damages, the com mission to hold its sessions at "Victoria, B C, and provides further for an umpire in the event of failure on the part of the com missioners to agree. It is asserted by those who are familiar with this question of dam ages that the reference of the claims to a commission may cost the United States a sum much larger than the $425,000 which was originally agreed upon as payment In fall, and which was rejected by the House last winter. It is understood that if the Senate shall take this view of the matter the Brit'sh Government will -be satisfied with the rejection of the present convention and will accept the original sum of j $425,000 and interest at 5 per cent added. The treasury gained $102,000 in gold yes terday as a result of Secretary Carlisle's re cent offer. To-day's stated treasury gold re sprve is $82,156,325, subj-ct to a deduction of $1,030 000 taken yesterday for exort. President Cleveland received his priz Thanksgiving turkey this morning. It came by express from Mr. Henry Vose, of Wes terly, Rhorte Island, the cu-tomarv giver of presidential turkeys, and Weighed thirty four pounds. The President and Mrs. Cleve land will .eat their Thanksgiving dinner at Woodley, there - country place. They will probably attend in the morning at the First Presbyterian church where Rev T. DeWitt T Image will preach. It is not likely they will have any guests at dinner. As has been te custom for years the public de partments closed at noon to-day. The report of Supervising Inspector Gen Dumont, of the steamship inspection ser V'ce, made public to-day, estimates the number of paesensrers carried on steamboats -inring the year at between 600 000 000 and 700,000.000. and stated the loss of life at 394, of which 148 were passengers, and 246 were officers or persons employed by the oteamers In view of the hearty support given to the buTean by the Secretary of. the Treasury to the efforts toward improving the personel of the service by requiring a higher standard of qualifications, which had been secured by a regulation compel ling a written, practical examination of all applicants for appointment as local or as sistant inspectors, to ascertain their educa tional as well as technical ability, the in spector general suggests that these regula Hons should be followed bv such legislation as will secure permanency in officers ap pointed under them except for misconduct or permanent physical disability and for these reasons only, after due investigation. The action of the Ohio and Indiana dele gations in Congress in their respective cau cnses to-night practically settled tbe contest over the elective officers of the House' of Representatives. Ohio decided to cast her nineteen votes for the so-called combine ticket, and twelve votes of the Indiana dele gation went the same way, H U Johnson, of the Richmond district, declaring his in tention to vote for Mr. Henderson for clerk Although Mj. McDowell claimed earlier in the evening to have votes to spare, after the result of these caucuses were announced to him he revised his figures land said at the lowest estimate he then had 161 votes. But 125 are necessary to nominate The postermasterahip of the House, which was assigned to Ohio, by the combine, was to-night filled by the endorsement, bv the Ohjo caucus of Capt.

Phii.adxi.phia, Pa., Nov. 27 The Danish fruit steamer Horsa, over whose reported seizure for Cuban filibustering at Kingston, Jamaica, there has been considerable talk, arrived here to-day and discharged her cargo, at the wharyes of her agents, the J. D Hart company. The officers of the steamed denied that she had been seized at Kingston, and complained of rfntru; stories having been written about the vessel It was the intention of Capt. Wiioer to clear Ker either to day or to-morrow, bat the col lector of the port, at tbe instance of District Attorney Ingraham, refused to grant the steamer clearance papers.

If any offense has been commitu it was done outside the capes and nbt in the jurisdiction of this officer." United States Attorney Ingraham when asked about the detention of the Horsa, said: "I have been instructed bv Attorney General Harmon to detain the steamer Horsa on charges of haying broken the neu trality laws by landing a band of insurgents, arms and munitions of war in Cuba An investigation of the case will be made at once." The Danish consul at this port has called a naval court of inquiry to meet to-morrow morning to investigate the charge' against the Horsa Shiobrokers and others inter ested in the commerce of Philadelphia are preparing a protest to be presented to secre tary Carlisle and Attorney General Harmon against what they deem the unwarranted detention of the steamer, by this Govern ment at the instance of the ispaoisn Minis ter. They claim that the action of the Gov ernment in seizinsr vessels under suspicion Is driving ships out of the West Indian trade ana injuring tne commerce oi tne country. Arrival of James V. Eagan. New Yobx, Nov. 27 James F. Eagan, the Irish political prisoner, arrived to-day from Liverpool on the Teutonic. He was ac companied by his wife. He received an en thusiastic welcome at the pier by many members of the Limerickmen's association. Among those present to greet Mr. Eagan were O' Donovan Rosea, Edward Byrnes, and James Grady. James F. - Eagan was arrested in Birmingham, England, in 1882, with John Daly, for alleged complicity in the dynamite programme of that tame.

The Venezuelan Government Looking to tbe Mobllizarton of 100,000 Hen Americans Beady to Volunteer Against Ea gland.. . . Washington, Nov. 27 Information of a somewhat sensational character with regard to the boundary dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain has leaked out here to day," A letter written by a member of President Crespo's Cabinet to a friend in this country disclosed the fact that President Crapo had been cautiously sounding the Governors Of the different provinces of the Republic as to the forces which they could pnt into the field in case of war. , Assurances, it is said, were given that a well equipped army of 100,000 men could be mobilized in case tne President snould de termine upon a movement against tbe Brit ish Guiaman settlers on what is claimed to be Venezuelan territory, with a view of driving them back to tne boundary wnicn Venezuela asserts to be theirs, namely back of tbe Essequibo river. While only a prt of this force would be necessary for the purpose, the large army of 100,000 men, Crespo believes, would be necessary to meet the counter attack. . which the British Guianians, with the aid of Great Britain, would make against Venezula's aggressive movement. PresideTSTtSresoo has been absent from Caracas since the heated term, begi ning last summer. He was understood to be at his country home in the mountains,, about eighty miles from the capital. Some sur prise has been manifested that he should have remained away from the capital for so long a period, the more especially as several members of his Cabinet tendered their resignations a month ago. It is now explained, that President Crespo has spent only a part of this time in the mountains and that the remainder has been occupied in the manner indicated. A member of Congress from the North west, who arrived in Washington this morning, brings with him applications from five ex-military men pf prominence in his State for commissions in the Venezue lan army in the event of hostilities between that country and Great Britain, and it is asserted that many Confederates stand ready to volunteer in the Venezuelan army if war should break out between the South American republic and England Fire in a Steamer at Sa. Boston, Mass., Nov. 27 The Hamburg American Line steamer Galicia, bound from New Orleans for Hamburg, put into this port to-day with her cargo on fire, and anchored in the harbor. Tbe Galicia left New Orleans November 16th heavily laden, her cargo contesting principally of cotton and grein. Capt. Pietch, the commander, states that the passage was without incident until Monday, although considerable bad weather was encountered coming up the coast On Monday night the chief officer, who was on the tteamer's bridge, discovered tongues of flames coming through the main deck. The alarm was immediately given and the entire crew who, with the excep tion of the watch, were below, hastened to the deck, and at once set to work to extin guish the flames, whi- h had apparently gained considerable headway. Capt Pietch directed tbe work of tne nre brigade and upon his orders holes were cut in the dsck and several streams of water were directed into the main hold through these aper tures. At the time the fire was discovered the steamer was abiut 300 miles east of Boston, and. as the efforts of the ere - to extinguish the flames proved unavailing, the captain decided to make this port for assistance. The fire is confined to the main hold, which is filled with grain and cotton From the time the fire was first discovered the officers and crew have beem constantly at work fighting it. The crew worked at a great dis advantage, but managed to control the fire, so it did not spread to the other parts of the ship There are three streams from the steamer's hose constantly playing on the fire, and this afternoon the services of a tug and fire boat were enlisted. It is the opinion of Capt. Pietch that the cargo of grain is badly damaged, if not wholly ruined." The cotton is probably badly damaged by fire and water. The ex tent of the damage cannot possibly be estimated until tbe fire is extinguished and the cargo discharged. The steamer's iron decks are considerably warped from the heat and she Js otherwise damaged. The agents of the Hamburg-American Line in this city are making arrangements for the dis charge of the cargo. Th Pope and Secret Societies. Washington, D. C, Noy, 27 Archbishop I Satolli, the apostolic delegate, has no inti mation from Rome of another anti-secret society decree, but is not in position to de clare that hone will be forthcoming. The 'last one issued, ust a year ago, forbade membership in three prganizations Knights of Pythias. Odd Fellows, and Sons, of Temperance The decision of the holy office in July last removed all questions as to the scope of tbe decree, and made the condemnation absolute without the slieht--st ebanoe for eauivocation. also insisting upon ts immediate application. Nothing could rh ike this S2?re sweeping fnits effects as far as these three organizations are" con cerned. But it is possible that the holy office has determined to condemn other societies. Of this the delegate at Wash ington is without farther knowledge It has transmitted no complaints against so cieties, but Bach complaint may have gone forward through othr channels. onthern Industrial Enterprises. - Baltimore, Md., Nov." 27 Special reports to the Manufacturers' Record show the pro jection of a number of railroad enterprises in the South, some for lines of considerable length, but the majority for short exten sions or for connecting Jink9 "between im portant systems.

This destruction of prop erty occurred after the Porte's promise upon Minister Terrell's demand that the mission should be protected, and the act leayes the Government liable for damages. A later dispatch from Harpool says that the Revl Dr. C H. Wheeler, president of the Ameri can college there, is in feeblhealth and unf able to leave the town.

However, he contin ¬ ued, t rance would respect any engagement which Madagascar had contracted - toward certain powers, and in cases where the Hova Government had con tracted. obligations France would respect the rules of international law applicable thereto. The Government, he said, would preserve the internal administration nf the island and would. also modify the original treaty with Madagascar which the Queen had signed. The amended treaty would shortly.be submitted to the Chamber! Ex Premier Ribot declared that tne statement read by M.

Want Another Term of tbe '; , Presidency. ; ' , Nxw Yoek, Nov.? 27 When ' seen to-day relative to a statement published in a morn ing newspaper in this city, I stating that President Grover Cleveland would never consent to stand for a third term, Mr. E. C. Benedict, the Broad street banker, who was authority for the statement, said that, in part, the statement was true,' but in. certain places it was made too strong. "I am not positive tnat he would not consent to run for a third term. I am positive of nothing save death and taxes. To set tbe matter forever right I will write what I have to say " Mr Benedict then penned , the following uiu iiBuura it to me reporters ; t, r - "All that I have said or can say m refer ence to President Cleveland's views aa to a third term is inferential: I infer from what he has repeatedly said that he is impa- irem w De na or an omciai cares, and un willing to have them prolonged under any circumstances AJie nas been .counting the months until he can be free of the me Is of pubhe- affairs. He feels and he told me so, in fact he has told I many of his friends so. that he was a great fool to accept ue presidency 1 or me second time. He said s "I have had enough of victory and defeat, and that is all a man can have in this world',? He Has been; like this ever Bince ne entered upon 'nis second term." . Here Mr. Benedict clinched his lists and shook them over his temples, relaxing his fingers to tell off the months, in panto mime, the President has yet to serve. Mr. Benedict tnen said : : 'He Wbs foolish, he knows it. in accent ing a second term, for he often complained that his health was shattered until he was hardly able to stand it longer. , Of course everybody who knows him, knows this, so it is no secret. 1 once siid to him: 'I am spoiling your chancb.es far a third term.

Acts, words and Sentiments on collateral matters will anmn times answer." Mr. Benedict then, in confidence, told the reporter certain actions of the President bearing on the third term question which would tend to show that Mr. Cleveland will not stand a fourth time for the presidency." "Do you agree with some of Mr. Cleve land's jfriends that Mr. Cleveland's duty is piain mat ne snould accept tne nomination next year?" 1 '"No. sir. I do not. and T think that the Claim made in certain Quarters that he be offered the nomination because the Demo cratic party has no better man is an insult to mm. ja.s to oeing positive that Mr. Cleve land would not accent a fonrth nomination. I am not, but I do not think he will do so." The Sun's Cotton Review. New Yobk, Nov. 26.
