THE BOUNDARY DISPUTE. ‘The question of boundaries between British Guiona and Venezuela, long in dispute, has given rise to much fruitless negotiation, and resulted in 1887 inthe rupture of diplomatic relations subsisting between Great Britain and Venezuela ie trouble in 1841 and ling and digutes comteen oe aes in 1850 the public mind in Venezuela was greatly exasperated by information to the ef- fect that Great Britian proposed tosize Vene- zuelan Guiana. Mr.Wilson, then British charge affaires in Venezuela, hastened to contradict | itand affirmed that his government had no in- tention of occupying the territory in dispute and that it would not doso. At the same time he asked for and obtained ‘a declaration to the same effect from the Venezuelan government. in 1886 Lord Roseberry presented a new boundary proposition coupled with a proviso for free navigation and commerce on the Orinoco river, which Venezuela declared to be an inadmissible proposition and refused to uc- cept. ending the negotiations in London the authorities of British Guinna proceeded to occupy @ portion of Venezuelan Guiana. The overament of Venezuela promptly protested tigainst this occupation and Geraauded of Grent Britain to withdraw her pretensions, and the latter having failed to comply with this demand Veneruela dissolved diplomatic relations with that government, Since that event the government of Venezuela She May Have to Practically Assert the Monroe Doctrine. OFFICIALS ABE GUARDED IN THEIR UTTERANCES, BUT IT I8 UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS GOVERN- MENT PROPOSES TO PREVENT ANY FOREIGN POWER CONTROLLING VENEZUELAN APFAIRS, ‘There i8 more in the mission of the gunboat Coneord to Venezuela than appears on the face of things, When Commander Edwin White gets fairly out to sea and reads thoroughly his sailing or- ders he will find that he has an important and responsible undertaking before him, Wheri he delivers certain State Department dispatches to Minister Scruggs and confers with that official he will experience a renewed sense of the im- portance of the part that the little Concord may be called upon to play in subsequent events in Venezuela. It is now intimated that a United States man- of-war may find it part of her duties in Ven: ezuelan waters to see that no foreign powers take advantage of Venezuelan civil dissension: to gain a political ascendgncy in that country. TO VPHOLD THE MONROE DOCTRINE. In other words, the Concord may have to that European powers must not interfere with the government of Central and South American countries contiguous to the United States while with the other she teaches that the deck of a | United States merchant ship is United States soil, from which no political refugee must be removed, It is enid that quiet intimations have been re- ceived by this government of the machinations of certain European powers in Venezuelan poli- tica, with the ultimate object of controlling that country and its valuable commerce, and while no open official cognizance can be taken of the | situation it is deemed highly advisable by the United States to take a hand in the gume jast at this etage and watch the next play If this rnmor be true the mission of the Con- cord may be fraught with more serious work than the guarding of American citizens’ ware- houses from mob violence or the #afe conduct of political refugees who seek # haven under the stars and stripes. GUARDED OFFICIAL UTTERANCES. State and Nav; Department officials are ex- tremely guarded in their statements about the Concord’s trip. They say that she is *‘to pro- tect American interests,” but decline to discuss details. Of course this statement covers a wide | margin. The President in his message to Congress in 1891 made the following reference to Venezue- lan affaires: “This government will continue to exptess its concern, at any appearance of for- eign encroachment on territories long under the administrative control of American states. The determination of « disputed boundary ia | easily attainable by amicable arbitration where the rights of the respective parties rest, as here, on historic facte, reudily ascertainable.” He referred to the boundary dispute between England and Venezuela, and in the same con- | nection said: ‘I should’ have been glad to an- | nounce some favorable disposition of the | good offices of the government of the United States in order that Great Britain may be induced, through the arbitration of friendly powers, to consent to a @ and pacitic olution of the question, » "4 . IMPATIENT FOR THE CONCORD'S DEPARTURE. All the officials express unmistakable impa- tience about the concord’s departure. She did not get under way as early as it was desired to- day, but will probably sail before nightfall. The voyage to La Guayra will occupy about seven days, but the Concord will not loaf on the way and with good weather may break the record. ‘The Concord is one of the new gunboats of the type of the Bennington and the Yorktown. She ‘is a twin-screw with a speed of sixteen | knots per hour, She carries a complement of 164 men and is well armed. Her battery con- sists of six modern steel 6-inch breech load- ing rifles, two six-pounders, two three-pounders and one one-pounder rapid-fire gun and two Gatling guna. Following is a list of her ofticers: Commander, Edwin White; lieutenant com- mander, E. P. Wood: lieutenants, G. P. Colvo- < Y. L. Cottman and A. W.

They sent a communication to the commander expressing their views and saying that they were unanimous. The little general immedi- ately penned the following reply: “Gentlemen: Commander-in-Chief Palmer is just as unani- mous as your committee.” Commander Palmer has a slight affection of the heart that is sometimes troublesome, and the war similarly afflicted. He thinks that it would becruel toask men in the declining years of life to make along march in a single column. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT CONTRACT. The contract for supplying the electric light- ing to be used in the illumination of the city has been awarded tothe Thomson-Houston Company This company bas consolidated with the Edison and there has been formed @ general electric lightingcompany which is the principal concern of the kind in this country. experts in the employ of this company will devise the method of illumination of the streets of the city. It is expected that the results will be very entisfac- tory. If Washington was out west somewhere it would be necesenry to ray that the prefered scheme of illumination is the grandest ever de- tho world has such a stupendous and muni- ficent spectacle been presented as will greet the eyes of the public during the evenings of encampment week. It would also be necessary to assert that the illumination will cost about double the actual cost, But as thi in the west it is only necessary to say that the illumination will be complete and handsome and that the committee will spend $15,000 in producing this result. Itsounds more impressive to say that $30,000 or $40,000 will be expended, but such statements won't add anything to the brillianey of the streets at night or the en- the arrangements are being carried out in the same style, and it is safe to say that if the vis- itors don’t enjoy their stay in this city it will not be the fault of the citizens, THE FREE QUARTERS.
