On Monday morning & the patrons of the First National bank of Eddy were omewhat astonished to find a notice on the front door to the effect that owing to lack of deposits the directors had decided to suspend. On interviewing the president, Mr. R. H. Pierce, he stated that all depositors would be paid in fall, and that the bank would probably resume in sixty days, says the Eddy Current. The assets amount to $105,000 and the deposits $52,000. The assets consist of about $10,000 available cash, $50,000 good notes, $20,000 in lands at sacrifice prices, and the balance in overdrafts, fixtures, etc. The first dividend will probably be paid depositors in thirty days and will be about 25 per cent and the balance as fast as the institution can realize on its collaterals. The showing made by the bank is exceptional and no doubt the bank will shortly be able to resume business. One of the main causes which precipitated the suspension is the fact that eastern banks have recently refused to handle western paper, alleging the uncertanties of money matters pending the election, do not justify the placing of money at

THE WASHINGTON BUDGET Salisbury's Concessions Reduce Venezuela Commission to Performance of Ornamental Functions. ARBITRATION HAS BEEN ARRANGED Secretary Lamont Pronounces False the Rumor That Policy of Administration Has Changed Toward Cuba -Battle-ship Texas is Safe. Washington, Nov. 10.-The meeting of the Venezuelan commission to-day was of more than ordinary interest on account of the significant statement in Lord Salisbury's speech last evening, announcing that the boundary dispute was practically ended. The commission authorized the following statement: "The statement of Lord Salisbury as reported in the morning papers makea it probable that the boundary dispute, now pending between Great Britain and Venezuela, will be settled by arbitration at an early day. Under these circumstances, the commission, while continuing its deliberations in the preparation and orderly arrangement of many valuable maps, reports and documents, which have been procured and used in the course of its labors, does not propose to formulate any decision for the present of the matters subject to examination. It will continue its sessions from time to time, but with the hope and expectation that a friendly and just settlement of all pending differences between the nations interested will make any final decision on its part ennecessary." ARBITRATION FINALLY ARRANGED. 2:30 p.m.-The arbitration of the Venezuelan dispute is a settled fact. All the arrangements have been completed and all the details of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain are arranged. The final terms of the treaty of arbitration were arranged in this city last night and the terms were cabled to London and have been accepted. The treaty covers Venezuela only and does not include a general treaty of arbitration of all future disputes between the two great English speaking nations. This treaty is to be arranged later by future negotiations. The Venezuelan arbitration commission will consist of five arbitrators, two to be selected by the United States, two by Great Britain, and these four to select a fifth arbitrator. Venezuela will not be directly represented in the commission. The term of occupancy to exempt British settlements in disputed territory from arbitration is fixed at sixty years, according to additional correspondence on the subject, which has just been discovered. LAMONT ON CUBAN RUMORS. "There has been no change in the policy of the administration regarding Cuba," said Secretary Lamont, "and as far as know none has been contemplated since the adjournment of congress. The visit of Consul-General Lee to Washington has no more significance than my walking from the war department to my residence. What the president intends or may do in this matter are known only to himself. Speculations and surmises about a proclamation according to belligerent rights to Cabans are manufactured out of whole cloth." THE BATTLE-SHIP TEXAS SAFE. Commodore Sicard, commandant of the New York navy yard, telegraphed Secretary Herbert today: "The engine and fire room of the battle-ship Texas are clear of water, and we are arranging to drain the coal bunker, clear the wing passages and central twelve-inch shell room into double bottoms, and to pump out by the drainage system of the ship. We will start the steam on the ship about 9 o'clock and then again pump out the double bottoms promptly. The ship is all safe." Later the commandant telegraphed that the Texas would be docked this afternoon. RECEIVER FOR EDDY BANK. The comptroller of the currency has appointed Isaao W.
