Cleveland Calls Vpon Congress to Aot Action to Avert Finanoial Dis- " :. .fii'i; ', Wasboioton, Dec to; Preefdent Cleveland sent the following special message toCoogreas lata tbls after noon !''." To the Congress: In my last annual msssage the evils of our present financial system were plainly pointed out and the causes and means of tbe depletion of government gold were explained It was therein stated that after all the efforts that had been made by the exoutive branoh of the goverameat to protect our gold reserve, by, tbe Issuance of bonds amounting to moee than 162.000,000, such reserve then amounted to but little more than $79,000,000, that about 116,000,001 had been withdrawn from suoh re serve during the month next prsvl-' ous to the date of the date of that message and that quite large with. drawala for shipment in the im mediate future were predioted. The' contingency then feared has reached us and the withdrawals of gold linos the communication refer' red to, and others that appear inevi table, threaten auoh a depletion in our government gold reserve as brings us faoe to faoe with tbe neces sity of further aotion for its proteo tion. This condition is Intensified by the prevalence in certain quarters of sudden and unusual apprehension and timidity in business circles. We are in the midst of anotherseason of perplexity caused by our dangerous and fatuous finanoial operations. These may be expected to recur with certainty as long aa there is no amendment in our finanoial system. If in this particular instanoe our pre dicament is at. all influenced by a decent insistence cpon the position we should occupy in our relation to certain questions concerning our for eign policy, this furnishes a signal and impressive warning that-even the patriotic sentiment of our people is not an adequate substitute for a sound finanoial potior. 1 e In view, however, of the peouliar situation now confronting ua, I have vutitured to herein express the ear nest hope that th Congress, in de fault of the inauguration of a better system of finance, will not take re cess frous its-labors before It has by legislative enaotment or declaration done something, not only to remind those apprehanslva aBaong our pee pie that the resources of this govern ment and a scrupulous rsgaid for honest dealing affords a sure guar antee of unquestioned safety and soundness, but to reassure tbe world tbat, with these factors and the pa triotism of our citizens, the ability and determination of our nation to meet in any circumstances every ob ligation it incurs do not admit of question. I ask at ths hands cf the Congress snob prompt aid as it alone baa the power to give to prevent, in a time of fear and apprehension, any saorifioe of the people's interest and the pub lic funds, or the impairment of our publio oredit, in an effort by execu tive artion to relieve the dangers of the present emergency.

A FIRE DAMP EXPLOSION Caused the Disaster Tbe Dynamite Found Intact Burled Today Bodies Shipped Home. Two white boxe aboard the S A L northbound traio this morning con tained the black, burned bodies of two unfortunate miners who were victims of the appalling disaster at Cumnock. Their namea were Frank McKoy and John Covey. On Thursday morning McKoy :nd Covey, with five comrades, isnt to work at Comiiock for the last time until after the Christmas holi days. They expected to gn home to eee their families and love- ones whom tbey had lived with for a life time. There is joy in those Pennsylvania homes today, where the arrival of the men from Cumnock are expected, for they have not been made aware of tbe fact of the catastrophe. What (bast be their joy tamed to grief, when the bodies of the dead arrive and the story is told them of the death-dealing dis aster. On board the trait) was Ed. 9eigart and R. B Fink, who were accompany lag the remains of the two dead men to their Pennsylvania home in Ramey. Fink was one of the men who fortu nately was not at work in division No. 1. He eeeaped to the surface unhurt. Sweigart was on the niht force, and to express it in his language "It is a lucky that I wis." Mr. Sweigart formed one of the noble band of rescuers. never leaving the mine until all the dead were removed Mr. Sweigart. who left tbe mine this morning says all the dead have been found and accounted for, and the work of rescue has ceased. The lai t two bodies were discovered early this morning, making in all 89 killed. One of the bodies was badly mutilated. which was occasioned by fly lug tim bers. As stated 1 yesterday's Prsss-Visi- tob, the explosion was occasioned by fire damp gas. This theory was made positively certain last night, when th dynamite which tlje mine officials thought caused the explosion, was found. The packages were just as tbey had been placed. Mr. Sweigart said that, had the 350 pounds pf dynamite exploded, not a one of the 06 men would have come out alive. Th-t dead bodies have beeu prepared for bnrial and removed from tue tem porary morgue. Th.tt crowding of relatives and epeptaturs around tha shaft of th mine is with the past. Only th regular clock like escape of steam from the steam pump minds a person of the working mine. At ths little cottages situated sroucd the mines, a farswell look is being given black, charred faces of the dead, which will be hid from hqnjae. gize forever by tbe ittn,g of the sun this evening. l8t evening two badly mangle! bodies were buried. The luiured are duiog well and con trary to expectations, it is thought all wll live. Sweigart and Fink say they will re turn to their Pennsylvania home, but never to-do work in a mine. Tbey will Seek other employment Mr. Sweigart says this accident convinced him that it was better to mi living on top of th,e earth lie says it will be dim- ult ts get sny of the old miners to resume work In that mine again. They consider It dangerous. A great many negroes worked in the mine. The race H perhaps the most snperstltiouo of all oers. Mr. Sweigart says fje does ua think Botge one will ever eter th mine. it is bis opinion that ths mine can be put la condition to ork in two weeks. Th mine was not torn up but in exceptional place.

Brlmley, Tuesday, December Slat, at half past eight o'clock, at their resi dence, Raleigh, N. C." Mr. Brlmley is widely known. All who know him at all, admire; thoee who know him well, love the man. Miss Taylor is a young lady of sps eial beauty and has a large number of friend, who are lavish in their praise. So here' Happy New Year, Mr. Brlmley; to you and yonr fair, young bride Venezuela's Stolen Territory. The British are entitled to just ao amah territory in Guiana aa Holland bad olear title to when she. ceded that oountry to Great Britain in 1814, Holland claimed that her bound ary line between Guiana and Vene zuela waa the Esseqaibo river, bat when the British succeeded to her title they olaimsd that tbe Eseequibo river meant the entire watershed draining into it. Tbey then pushed their possessions westward. In the ooarseof time they passed beyond the watershed, whioh did not extend be yond the Marooo river. Ia 1841 the Sohombu-gk line was run, extending to the mouth of tbe Orinooo. Venezuela vigomaly op pnsed this boundary, acd in 1844 Lord Aberdeen, the British premier, gave up the Schombnrgk tine and proposed a o impromiie. But tbe eon troversy remained nn&attied and in 1881 Lord GranvU proposed a new line. With the disoovary of gold fields west of the Sebomburgk: Jlne the British poshed forward and claimed still more territory All the time this robbery was going on, from 1814 dowu to the present day, Venezuela has protested She has urged ftreat Britain to arbitrate, but the invari able reply ot the British has been : "There la nothing to arbitrate," Recently the United Stated has en deavored to persuade Great Britain to agree to arbitrate, but without avail, and it p now probable that Congress will taks the matter in hand and put England upon noiios that she must either have her olaims tent ed before some impartial tribunal or give up all of the Venezuelan terri tory whioh she has salted ainoe 1841.
