Meantime the Commission is Busily Prosecuting Iis Inquiries on the Subject. It is impossible to secure any confirmation from a source entitled to credit of the state- ment that has given rise to so much discus- sion in the British newspapers, to the ef- fect that our government has signified its willingness to join in the appointment of a joint commission with Great Britain to as- certain the facts as to the Venezuelan boundary question as a basis for the settle- ment of the matter by the ordinary d!plo- matic means. A careful inspection of the correspond- ence that has passed between the two gov- ernments up to this time, however,will, it is said,show clearly that the United States has from the first been willing and anxious to agree upon any. plan for the settlement of the boundary dispute that held out any promise of insuring the just treatment of Venezuela. Very early in the negotiations arbitration was suggested by our State De- partment as a basis for the settlement. This Government's Position. While it is true that the arbitration con- templated was between Great Britain and Venezuela directly, every letter addressed by our government to the British govern- ment upon the subject indicated that we would weleome any honorable method of adjusting the controversy. Up to this time the only point that we have been particu- larly insistent upon was that in the settle- ment the question of the title of the whole of the lands claimed by both sides should be included, and it should not be limited to the British claim. Therefore, as it stands, there is nothing in the record of our govern- ment that forbids the entertainment of the proposition for a Joint commission. What Englund Desires. It now appears that the British govern- ment is halting oniy in the hope of secur- ing a stipulation precedent to the appvint- ment of the joint commission, to the effect® that previsicn shall be made for the re- tention under the British flag of such parts of the territory that may be found eventu- ally to be in Venezuela as are now occu- Pied by British colonists, The only diffi- culty that suggests itself here in conced- 1 1 is a provision of the stitution that absolutely tion of any Venezuelan lands. It 1s possible, however, that this cbstacle may be overcome, if all parties are willing otherwise to agree to the prop- osition. Our Commission Many Settle It.

England Willing to Arbitrate. The London Chronicle announces the ac- tual situation between Great Britain and the United States in connection with the Ven- ezuelan boundary difficulty thus: “Great Britain is resolved to arbitrate the Venezuelan boundary dispute directly with the United States. The method to be adopt- ed and the details of the settlement are glone under consideration. The govern- ment are being urged by persons of intlu- ence to conclude the settlement as speedily as possible.”” Harold Frederic, the New York Times’ London correspondent, cables: I get abso- lute authority for the statement that Bal- fovr’s deprecation of debate on the Ven- matter does not at all signify t negotiations are in a difficult, not to dangcrous, stage.

The case of John H. Peake, administrator of the estate of the late Wm. A. Burgess, against the Washington Gaslight Company, was concluded this morning before Judge Cole and a jury in Criminal Court No. 1. Burgess was employed at the works of the company in East Washington, and Febru- ary 26, 1898, he was so badly scalded by escaping steam that he died a few days thereafter. On behalf of Geo. W. Burgess, Mary H. Summers, Jane F. Mullikin, Rose B®. Dunan and Sarah E. Rawlins, the broth- er and cisters of the man, the administrator filed the suit, claiming $10,000 damages. Messrs. A, A. and T. W. Birney and E. A. Newman represented the plaintiff, Messrs. F. W. Hackett and Webb & Webb appearing on behalf of the company. The plaintiff claimed that Burgess was sent into the boilers at the works to clean them, and that while so engaged steam was carelessly and negligently turned into them. Upon the conclusion of the testimony on tehalf of the plaintiff, counsel for the com- pany asked Judge Cole to direct a verdict in favor of the company on the ground that the lability of the company had not been sufficiently shown. Judge Cole overruled the motion, and this morning the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, fixing the damages at ——-—-— Funeral of James C, Sheiry. Funeral services over the remains of Jas. C. Sheiry were heid this afternoon at 2 o'clock at his mcther’s residence, 152 F street northeast, conducted by Rev. A. W. Pitzer, D. D. Members of the Sunday school class in the Central Presbyterian Church, of which he was a devoted mem- ber, acted as pall bearers, the interment being in Glenwood. Mr. Sheiry was a son of Mrs. Laura L. Sheiry and the late John F. Sheiry, and was on the threshold of manhcod when he was stricken with con- sumption of the throat. The months of sickness, part of the time being tn spent in Texas in the hope of being benefited by the cesne ee he bore with fortitude and courage., He was a member of the Wash- ington Light Hees and of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Central Church. ! the AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Gas Office Swindler Has Reached West Washington. Improvements Contemplated and Other Local Notes of General In- terest to Taxpayers nnd Residents, The gas office swindler has reached Georgetown. How far his operations have extended is not known. Only two or three reports haye been received of his workings, the losses in each case being small. The swindler is reported as a young man about twenty years of age, well dressed and carrying a satchel, in which he carries off his booty. He secures an entrance to the house by announcing he is sent by the, fas company to look after the meter, the cor- poration being convinced that the meter was out of order and registering too high, or else there was_a leak in the preinises, which it was his duty to detect. His tcols, he claims, are in the satchel. Nine times out of ten he goes through every room in the house and carries away only mouey or small articles of value. Improvement Committee. The council and improvement committee of the West Washingion English Evangel- ieal Church held a®joint meeting a few nights ago, at which it was decided to make considerable improvements to the edifice. An addition will be built to the north end, a new roof put on and an entire new set of steps at the front entrance. A picRet fence will be run the enfire eastern frontage of the property. Workmen are at present engaged in the matter of carrying out this work. Faneral of Mrs. Boarman. The funeral of Mrs. Mary A. Boarman, the wife of Mr. William A.
