History of the Discovery of the Coun- try Given and the Gradual En- croachments of the British. “Venezuela, Her Government, People and Boundary,” was the timely topic upon which Mr. William E. Curtis, the well-known news- paper correspondent, who formerly held the’ office of director of the bureau of American republics, addressed the members of the Natienal Geographic Society and their friends at Metzerott Hall last evening. The interest shown in the subject is attested by the fact that the audience filled the hall to such an extent that many of the invited guests were glad to find standing room. Many distinguished persons were present, including the members of the Venezuelan legation and the diplomatic representatives ef nearly all the South American states. The lecture was clearly and distinctly de- livered and was replete with interesting facts, figures and illustrative pictures of the country in which the United States govern- ment has shown such paternal interest of late. Mr. Curtis gave a brief sketch of the dis- covery of Venezuela or Little Venice by Americus Vespucci in 1499, and its condition at that time and since. The population of the republic today is about 2,500,000, not in- eluding 260,000 Indians. The country is still in a primitive and comparatively undevel- oped state. It has made little progress since the yoke of Spain was thrown off. Manufacturing establishments are almost unknown, and the agricultural and indus- trial development has been retarded by political revolutions and a lack of labor and cap'tal. According to the lecturer, the future wealth of Venezuela lies in the de- velopment of her agricultural resources, which are almost boundless, and her min- eral deposits, which are among the richest ard most accessible of any country. The bathing arrangements at Macuto are quite odd. Sharks abound and bathers stand a chance of losing their legs. Ladies and gentlemen bathe in separate inclosures. Everybody bathes au natural. Some of the modest ladies put on a sort of night dress, but the pretty ones wear nothing but smiles and blushe: Almost Constant Warfare. Venezuela, the lecturer said, has been the scene of almost constant warfare since her discovery. There is no country in the werld whose histcry is more stained with blood. She is the Hungary, the Poland, of South America. Most of her rulers have been elected by bullets and bayonets in- stead of by ballots, and most of her great men, like Bolivar, Miranda and others, have died in exile, to have their bones brought heme in after years with great honor and buried under monuments of marble and stetues of bronze. Antonio Guzman-Blan- co, known as the “illustrious American,” was the uncrowned king of Venezuela for nineteen years. One of his duties was to arrange with Great Britain for a_settle- rent in 1889 of the boundary dispute, whick has since become the cause of American interference. It was alleged in Venezuela that he hed attempted to be- tray his country and waive the claims of his government to the disputed territory west of the Essequibo river as far as the so-called Sckomburgk line, provided Great Britain would arrange a compromise with the English holders of Venezuelan -bonds. No positive proof of such a proposition was ever disclesed, but the evidence was suffi- cient to induce President Palacio to revoke Gezman’s plenipotentiary powers. The action of the president caused the greatest excitement in Venezuela, and completely destroyed Guzman’s influence in the coun- try. If be had returned there at that time he weuld have been hanged by a. mob, and it is still unsafe for him to visit Venezuela. The rank and file of the army is com- resed exclusively of Indians, negroes and helf-broeds. They are good fighters, not- withstanding their field uniform is merely a pair of cotton drawers, a shirt and a straw hat. Mr. Curtis said there iS a bronze statue of George Washington in Caracas, which is usually the meeting place of the people whenever there is any mis- chief to be done. Great Britain Has No Rights. The lecturer said that the richest gold mine ever discovered was probably the Con- sclidated Virginia, after which is that of El Callao, in Venezuela. Some of the mines of this region are within and some without the territory claimed by Great Britain. Two Eritish gunboats are on the Orinoco, how- ever, and will take possession of the entire mineral district at the first possible ex- © “Such an act,” said the lecturer, “would be entirely audacious, but would be heartily welcomed by the people, who would very much prefer an English colonial gov- ernment to Venezuelan rule. I have been told by dozens of men, Américans, Ger- Trans, native Venezuelans and representa- tives of other nations, that if the question Were suomitted to the miners the decision Mould be almost unanimously in favor of England. But regardless of the preferences of the population, Great Britain has no more title to the land she has forcibly oc- cupied than the United States has to Mani- toba or Chihuahua, and no more right to occupy the island of Barima at the mouth of the Orinoco than she has to occupy the jetties of the Mississippi or the islands in the harbor of ew York. “We frame laws and organize police, and establish courts to defend the weak against the strong and protect property from being unlawfully plundered, and no honest or brave man will stand idly by while high- way robbery is being committed upon his neighbor. The excuse for the interference of our government in the Samoan case was trifling compared with the reasons that exist in the seizure of Venezuelan territory by England, for beyond and outside the grounds of ordinary justice there are some selfish inducements that appeal toy every | business man :n this country, if he would stop to consider the facts and the situa- tion.” Gradual Encroachments. In ancient geographies and gazetteers, even the official publications of the British government, the area of British Guiana is given as 60,000 square miles. In 1885 it was increased to 76,000 square miles. “The same authoritie: said Mr. Curtis, ‘now assert that its area is 109,000 square miles, but give no explanation of the extraordi- nary enlargement of the territory by 33,000 square miles, which, however, is found in the argument over the boundary dispute. * * There was some gold mining along the Essequibo and its affluents during the domination of the Dutch, a hundred years ago, but it was only casual. “Since then gold deposits have been discov- ered on the Barima river in the disputed territory, where several million dollars of fereign capital, mostly British, is invested and some 20,000 miners are at work. The colonial authorities of Guiana have calmly cccupied this territory, orgarizing police, appointing local magistrates, assuming leg- tslative as well as executive jurisdiction, providing laws and regulations for the go ernment of the mining camp, ete. These regulations have been imposed by the B: ish colonial authorities within a- territory to which they did not claim ownership un- til the discovery of geld, and over which they did not attempt to exercise jurisdiction until 1883, and as new mines have been dis- covered they have gradually pushed the’ frontier line westward, until it now includes rearly twice as much territory as they claimed twenty years ago, and seven times as much as was ceded Great Britain Ly Holland in 1814. “Tt is trae,’ said the lecturer, “that the Venezuelans have shown no enterprise or activity In developing their own resources. ‘They have permitted foreign prospectors to enter and ocupy the mining districts at their will, and have never attempted to exercise police or even administrailve control in the mining camps. The original prospectors having been Englishmen natur- ally looked to the colonial government at Georgetown for protection, and the other foreigners fell in without a question, ac- knowledging British sovereignty and obey- ing British law.” New Members Admitted. At a business meeting of the Geographic Society the following new members were admitted: Senor Jose Andrade, Mrs. D. C. Chapman, W. V. Cox, John F.-Davies, J. J._B.

Grounds Frequented by Thugs—Maj. Moore’s Opinion of the Matter. The situation in the Capitol groupds at night, police officials think, is really alarra- ing. They are much astonished at the fail- ure of Congress to provide‘an increase of the Capitol police force. The police protec- tion of the grounds, it is said, comes directly under the Capitol authorities, and not un- der the metropolitan police, although mem- bers of the latter force frequently make arrests there. While the poiice realize that more officers are needed in the grounds, Major Moore does not feel that he can spare the necessary men from his force, which is already badly crippled. Speaking to a Star reporter today, Major Moore said that four of his men are now detailed for duty at the approaches to the Capitol building, when he feeis that they are much needed on street duty. There is now about 20 per cent of the force on de- tached service, sick and on leave, said the major, and there are only three or four on leave. It is not possibls to grant many leaves now, because of the conditions re- quiring the presence on duty of as many officers as possible—the presence of so many teuts here and the unusual activity of thieves. Majer Moore says it is due to the members of Congress themselves. that they provide better protection for the grounds. During night sessions, he says, many of the mem- bers on their way out of the building to go to their homes have to walk through the greunds, where the dense shrubbery af- fords hiding places for thugs and thieves. This public park, he realizes, is the great thoroughfare connecting Capitol Hill and the Navy Yard with the business center, and through it hundreds of persons have to pass at night, when the grounds are vir- tually without protection. By way of a suggestion, Maj. Moore said he ‘thought there should be two men on duty In the western part of the grounds and one in the eastern section. These men could do good work and keep the grounds virtually free from footpads and thugs. It is well known that a number of per- sons have been assaulted and robbed in these grounds during past years, and some of the victims of the assaults were roughly handled. Only a few months ago a number of youthful thieves made resting Places in the bushes and robbed wagons and herdics. Besides these classes of offen- ders, other violatcrs of law have been known to make the grounds a lurking place. At intervals the superintendent of the Capitol police has managed to spare a few men for duty about the grounds, but during the session of Congress there are not enough men for duty inside the build- ing. A New Use for the Military. To the Editor of The Evening Sta: Inasmuch as the House has decided not to provide watchmen for the Capliol grounds, and does not furnish sufficient city police to do it, I suggest that they provide for having the Capitol grounds, the Smithsonian and Agricultural Depart- ment grounds policed by the military, of which there are plenty here, with nothing to do. From the nature of these grounds, cov- ered, as they are, with shrubbery, and, as experience shows, they are the most dangerous places in the city at night. Surely, the United "States government, which owns and controls them, is in duty bound to have them so policed as to make it safe for citizens and strangers who haye to pass through them. Of course, the idea of using the military for this purpose is not in accord with American ideas and practice, but it is done in European capi- tals, and if Congress will not provide other means for the purpose I cannot see any good reason why it should not be done here. It certainly ought to do something to make them safe. CITIZEN. ——— THE FLAGMAN CASE. A Decision to Be Rendered by Judge Cole Next Week. In the habeas corpus cases of Win. T. Smith and Isalah Stevens, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company engineers who were convicted in the Police Court several weeks ago for running their trains over street crossings unprotected by flagmen or gates, Messrs. Harnilton and Colberi, coun- sel for the ccmpany, agreed with the at- torney for the District today to. submit to a pro forma judgment by Judge Coi A statement of the facts in the case was thereupon submitted to Judge Cole, who will announce his decision probably Mon- day next. The discharge of the engineers will, it is believed, he refused, whereupon the case will be carricd up to the Court of Appeals. But whichever way Judze Cole decides an appeal to the Court of Appeals will follow, both sides being de- sirous of obtaining a decision by the latter court upon the validity of the law under which the engineers were convicted in the Police Court. ——s— A Row of Houses, Work will be begun at once on six five- story dwellings, to be located on the south- west corner of 22d and Q streets northwest.

There will be stone porticos to each building, and each alternate house will have bay windows run up the full height, and top out with towers. All intervening houses will have the bay window stopped at the third floor, which will be finished with a balcony in- closed by a copper balustrade. The cornices will be of coppef, and the roofs will be cov- ered with Spanish tile. The buildings will be heated by a hot-water system, and have tile vestibules, and bath rooms and cabinet mantels, electric lighting, and a system of burglar alarms.

Situations, The Knights of Labor Express Great Confidence in Their Ability to Win. From reports which early today reached members of the Brewers’ Association it was thought an invitation for a conference with the executive board of the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association would reach the meeting of: the brewers today. But if such an invitation was sent it had not reached its destination up to the time the associa- tion adjourned. % A joint meeting of the executive board of the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association and committees from District Assembly No. 66, K. of L., and the Federation of Laber was held last night im a hall near the corner of 9th and F streets northwest, and a full dis- cussion was had of the present status of the beer war. A full statement of the case from the standpoint of organized labor was made by the representatives of the latter, and the members of the-executive board said that it was no more than just to the brewers to hear their side before taking any action in the matter. From present indications this will be given on Monday or Tuesday, as it is the intention of all the local brewers to attend the annual-conyention of the Na- tional Brewers’ Association at Chicago, and es pects there the latter part of next week, The Dealers’ Dilemma. A prominent member of the Retail Liquor Deslers’ Association told a Star re- porter that the saloonkeepers of which the association is composed find themselves be- tween the “devil and the deep sea.” If they refuse to patronize the local brewers they must either practically suspend opera- ions to a large extent by doing without beer or they must buy it in other cittes at a higher price than they have been paying here, and at the same time receive no im- crease in price. At the same time if they do not take sides against the brewers the members of organized labor societies will place them on the unfair list. In view of this remarkible condition of affairs it is rumored that the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association will us» all the influence they can exert to settle the existing troubles. Strikers Hopeful. At the headquarters of Gambrinus As- sembly, which is also the headquarters from which the labor part of the boycctt is being managed, there is the same ex- pression of corfidence of success as has existed since the trouble began. The offi- cers of Gambrinus Assembly are much gratified at the active interest that has been taken in their behalf by the two central bodies of organized labor, as well as the union men of the District’generally. eS POSTER EXHIBIT. Coming Display Under the Business Woman's Club's Auspices. A great deal-of interest is being mani- fested in the approaching ‘poster exhibit of the Business Woman's Club, which is | to begin Thursday, January 23. The fad of collecting these combinations of color and art called posters has been the thing for some Iittle time, and the Business Wo- man’s Club bas hit upon the plan of tak- ing the finest of those owned by collectors in this city and making them the nucleus of a large exhibition. The exhibition will be given at the roams of the Business Woman's Club, 606 11th street northwest. The collections of Miss Frances B. Johnston and Dr. Swan M. Burnett will form the center of those loaned by the collectors of this city. Mr. | Mills Thompson is at work:upon a poster which will be used to announce the ex- hibit, and it is expected that this will he one of thé gems of the collection, Be- sides those posters loaned by collec:ors in this city there will be a number of, out- of-town loans. Scribner's will send a hum- ber of their best posters to the exhibit, while the Century Company will loan a number of their out-of-print specimens. It was expected also that the Century Com- pany would loan the designs which it en- tered in competition for their great ‘Na- poleon poster, but as they are at present on exhibition in San Francisco the delay in getting them here made it advisable to do away with this part of the exhibition. praise Se THE SLACK CASE. A Formal Hearing to Be Had Next Monday. * Judge McComas today set the contest in- stituted by Mrs. William H. Slack over the will of her husband for hearing Monday mcrning next. Mr. Calderon Carlisle, counsel for Mrs. Addie Slack Perrine, the aunt and testa- mentary guardian of the Slack children, explained to a Star reporter that the pro- ceedings in court Monday will be practical- ly an abandonment of the contest by Mrs. Sleck. A jury will be sworn then, and a verdict returned. in favor of Mrs. Perrine, for, according to Mr. Carlisle, no opposition to ‘such a course will be made by Mrs. Slack. The case will then go to the Pro- bate Court, and application there will be made by Mrs. Perrine for the issuance to her of letters testamentary. eee SATTERLEE’S PROGRAM. DR. Ready to Make Appointments for Con- firmation Classes. The presiding bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Rt. Rev. John Will- jams, D. D., LL.D., has appointed the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25, as the day, and Calvary Church, New York, as the place, for the consecration of the Rev. Dr. Satterlee as bishop of Washing- ton. The apopintment fs made subject to the action of the bishops and the standing committees, which will certainly be favor- able. No details of the consecration service have yet been made known to the standing committee here. The Rev. Dr. Elliott, rector of the Church of the Ascension, received yesterday a let- ter from Dr. Satterlee, bishop-elect, in which, after stating that his consecration will take place on March 25, as set forth above, he adds: “I shall hold my_ first services as bishop in St. John’s’ Church and in the Church of the Epiphany, on Palm Sunday, and am now ready to make appointments for confirmation services, first in the city of Washington and then in the four counties, on Sundays (save Easter day itself) and on week days.” : —————-— Capital Trust Company's Officers.
