The Venezuelan Side Stated at Length, Accompanied by Historical Papers and Maps, Minister Andrade, the representative of the Venezuelan government, has submiited to the Venezuelan boundary commission the official histery of the discussion be- tween Venezuela and Great Britain on the question of the boundary line between the former country ani British Guiana. The Venezuelan side of the case makes a good-sized volume of about 440 pages. it purports to contain all the treaties, con- ventions and official letters and other com- munications that bear in any way upon the subject. The introduction includes a copy of the original articles by which Holland ceded to Great Britain the colonies of Demarara, cssequibo and Berbice, and the conven- tion between Great Britain and the United Provinces of the Netherlands relating to their colonies, signed August 15, 1814. There is also a copy of a communication from a arliamentary paper, dated May 11, 1840, giving the real objects of Schomburgk’: The official correspond- ence begins with some paragraphs from tl instructions given by the secretary of for- i affairs of ancient Colombia to her ster in London, dated 1822. Accompanying the volume is a handsome map of the territcry in dispute, showing the advance of English claims on Venez- possessions. In one corner of the ts a brief resume of the history of the slish claims, as follows: in the year ISl4 Engiand acquired about 20.000 square miles of land in Guiana from the Dutch. “Between the years 1889 and 181 she ssioned Sir Robert Schomburgk sur- ously (.e., without the knowledge or nt cf Venezvela) to draw a iine tak- about 60,000 square miles of terri- tory “In the year 1885 this territory had grown, on paper by alterations of that line, to a claim of 76,000 square miles. bs ‘In the next single year it jumped to a claim of 109,000 square miles. Venezuela has never recognized any of se lines as even marking disputed terri- tory.” 3 ————_-e+___ ___ MODELS OF WAR SHIPS. Have Been Sent to Japan as mens of Naval Architectare.

Autkerity Given Under the Urgent Deficiency Appropriation Bi Under authority of the urgent deficiency appropriation bill, the Secretary of the Treasury has appointed twenty-five expert ccunters for duty in the treasurer's office in connection with the redemption of na- tional bank notes. It 1s said that the entire number was taken from the list of sixty- fo.r counters dropped from the rolls sev- eral months ago on account of a decision by the controller of the treasury that there ves no legal authority for the!r employ- ment. The counters just appointed are wo- en. They will receive compensation of © a month. There was a tremendous pressure brought to bear on Secretary Car- Hsle to secure these appointments, and it is deemed best in the interest of harmony to withhold frem the public the names of the su ‘ssful competitors.

SENATORS ALLEGE ITS IMPROPRIETY Messrs. Gray and Hale Come to His Defense. —— MATTERS IN THE HOUSE — The Cuban question continues to be a drawing card in the Senate. The galleries were besieged long before the session open- ed tod. and by the time the Senate met the crowds within the galleries and those eager to gain admission at the various en- trances showed that there would be an- other large atendance when the Cuban resolutions were ched. in the opening prayer Rev. Wallace F cliffe made passing reference to the ble: ings of peace, and invoked divine guidance and blessings on all nations. Mr. Lodge’s Explanatte As soon as the journal had been read Mr. Ledge (Mass.) rose to a question of pe al privilege. He said he had read on Sunday an interview attributed to Senor Dupuy de Lome of Spain. There was nothing singu- Jar in this fact, as the Spanish minister communicated largely through the newspa- pers. But in this case the minister called in question the accuracy of a statement made by him (Lodge.) The Senator sent to the read the minister's reference to Lodge's utterance calling in guestion transiation of a statement attribyied General Weyler, in which the latter de- clared that he would the insurgents. Mr. Lodg: 1- and hed Mr. the to comment tien, and s a literal rendering of General W guaye would be that he would the large insurgent bands minate” the small ones. Mr. he did not wonder at the extrem ness of the Spanish people, but ne think this offered any excuse for the ish minister in adopting the cour: had. He had be rred tow. torian, but in tr ex-parte representative of § e had disclosed from time to time sucted from the general sum cf information on the Cuban subject. It established that the debat and House were purely domestic and it was not proper for a repr of a foreizn country to communica through the State De 2 American minister in 1 affairs there Mr. Lodge the of Daniel Webster, when Secre ng against a s would be he read from sent letter I any dipiomatic represent on bates in Congress.

Mr. Longe said he knew what any fe government would do with a min: ing si a cou He knew w been done under Pike circumstan: knew what Daniel Webster would have done in such a case. Mr. Gray Defends De Lome. Mr. Gray (Del.) said the course of the United States should proceed accd the judgment of a self-respecting nation, unmoved by the ementes at V: Madrid, and without being turne eto discuss a question of translation between a Senator and a minister. Mr. Gray said he would be quici sent an attack on the privileges of a to ena tor. But in all fairn he thought it hardly worth while to stretch ser ja prerogatives and privi in orde Kes question a gf leman who had to reply on behalf of Spain. Our feeling will be better expressed if we do not take advantage of ev i which differs from our own v should be some con the situation. ho power This was a most vital time | for Spain and for the Spanish minister. With this stress of circumsiances we should not be over nice in insisting on diplomatic propriet with the minister in said in the Senate. Mr. Teller’s Views. Mr. Teller (Colo.) said the rule was un- varying against a communication by a for- eign minister, except through the State De- partment. There should be no comment by a foreign minister. He should not be heard at all, except in the regular channels. Twice had foreign ministers been sent home for statements of less importance than this. “But considering the — cireumstance: added Mr. Teller, “had 1 been in authority I would not have sent him home for thi offense, but I would have had the Secretary of State, in a most kindly way, suggest that a repetition of the offense would lead to his going home.” Mr.reller then turned to the conditions in Spain. He did not think the outbreak of students should give of- ferse, The Spanish authorities were doing al in their power to stop the trouble. There no probability that Spain would dis- sent in an offensive way to the passage of the pending resolutions. Spain knew we had a right to recognize the belligerents. Spain would naturally show some feeling. hut she. would not go to war. There was a ple of applause which the Vice Presi- dent checked when Mr. Teller referred to Lis sympathy with the Cubans. “I would be delighted," said he, “to hear that Havana had passed into the hands of the insurgents. I would be delighted to hear that the insurgents had run the Span- ish soldiers into the sea.” But, the Senator added, while he had this sympathy, yet he felt no irritation over the student ebulli- tions in Spain. In conclusion, Mr. Teller vigorously repeated that if the Spanish din finding fault jew of what had been es. jt minister repeated th!s public utterance, the Senator would favor giving him his “walk- ing papers.” The American people would not tolerate any dictation or criticism from foreign rep- resentatives accredited here. Guilty of an Impropriety. Mr. Chandler (N. H.) also thought the Spanish minister had been guilty of an im- propriety. His references were offensive. “I desire to say,” interpesed Mr. Morgtun, “that the Spanish minister misquotes what I said on the floor of the Senate.” ‘hat illustrates the point I desire to make,” continued Mr. Chandler, proceeding to quote S-nor De Lome’s references to our war of the rebellicn. It was unseemly, he sald, for the Span minister to have writ- ten such a communication. It could not be countenanced. If the minister from Spain were to be al- lowed to write his reply every morning to the debates in Congress, Senators and mem- bers would naturally reply, and the inevita- ble result would be a daily exchange be- tween Congress and foreign representa- tives. He repeated that it was unse2mly. Suppose Ambassador Bayard should have selected scme of the remarks made by Lord Salisbury or Balfour in the house of com- mons concerning Venezuela, and had in the London Times undertaken to controyert them. Weuld not the Senator from Dela- ware (Mr.Gray) think he should be prompt- ly recalled? Mr. Gray Sets Himself Right. “The Senator misunderstood me,” inter- rupted Mr. Gray. “I did not say that the Spanish minister had not been gullty of a breach of diplomatic usage, but that very great allowances should be made for him under the present circumstances. Feeling for the Cuban cause a deep sympathy which I_can hardiy refrain from expressing, I also feel that magnanimity and forbearance should become us, and that they woull strengthen the attitude of those who sin- cerely hope that Cuba will acquire her free- dom.” itinuing, Mr. Chandler expressed the nm that there was entirely too much attempt at outs‘de interference or advice. He referred to the cabled utterances of a ter Castillo and the president of the council of Spanish ministers. Mr. Frye, in this connection, called at- tention to the reply he had received from the German ambassador to an invitation he had extended to him for his opinion of a bili pending before his committee relative to the German restrictions upon American meat products. The German ambassador had replied that he could not with propriety, either directly or indirect express an opinion, except through the State Depart- ment, and on the day following the Secre- tary of State transmitted to Congress the op‘nions of the German ambassador. That, said Mr. Frye, was in accordance with dip- lomatie usage. Mr. Hale in Defense of the Minister. Mr. Hale then took the floor. He was not Prepared to yicld one jot from the position he took yesterday, and expressed gatisfac- tion that he nad neen able to obtain from an ofilcial source such a temperate reply to the inflammatory utterances against Spain, which were without any official foundation whatever. He commended the careful tone of the Spanish minister, who, he said, had observed all the courtesies of the human language. With regard to the; general question as to the propriety of men in al station ex! ig their views, eclargd that the press of today had invaded ms not dreamed of thirty Years ago. | men did not hesitate hiown their opinions, not enly on liter questions, but on vital questions of Inter ticnal comity.

The Senator recalled the case of Lord Sackville-West, who was asked to retire for giving advice as to how to vote in an election. “That was a private letter, not meant for publication,” suggested Mr. Telle Mr. Hale added that in the Kv le- West c: the letter bore on a national election about to occur, Mr. Lodge insisted that the case was analogous to this one. At this point Mr. Palmer (.) made a point of order that there was no busi: before the Senate. Mr. Palmer yielded, however, on the request of Mr. tloar that his colleague be allowed to conclude. Mr. Lodge acknowledged the courtesy, and speedily closed with a further protest inst the course of the minister. closed the exciting initial incident in the Cuban question, and the Senate proceeded with the usual morning busia The debate had had the effeet of {ill every available seat in the Senate galleries. The diplomatic corps was again well reire- sented, ‘al of the ministers and secre- taries being accompanied by ladies of the diplomatic corps. The floor of the Senate waa also crowded, members of the House filling the rear and side areas. A resolution by Mr. Sherman was adopt- ed directing the printing of a letter from T. Estrada Palma to Secretary Olney,dated December 7, for the use of the Senate. Mr. Palma is head of the Cuban party in the United States. Mr. Hoar’s Resolution. Another exciting incident occurred when Mr. Hoar's resolution introduced yester- day, providing that the Cuban question go over until April 6 next, was laid before the Senate. Mr. Hoar asked that it go over until tomorrow; as he was in poor health and did not feel able to speaix on the resolution today. Mr. Sherman's Objection. Mr. Sherman was quickly on his feet, his face showing much feeling and his voice great earnestness. “I shall object to that resolution at all stages,” said he. “I regard it as a reflec- tion on the committee on foreign relations. After more than a month of discussion, af- ter overwhelming votes in both branches of Congress, this resolution ts brought here, sending the subject back to the committee on foreign relations. I wil] mpst decidedly object. A ‘There was a snap in the words of Mr. Sherman which left no doubt of their earn- estness. The two venerable Senators, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Hoar, stood ‘side by side, their desks adjoining, and the colloquy pro- ceeded zt short range. : Mr. Hoar expressed great surprise that the Ohio Senator should object to granting a usual courtesy to a Senator. Mr. Sherman responded that the motives for tris resolution were self-evident. It (Continued on Second Page.) j cestia bn j; company DISTRICT AFFAIRS Mr. Griswold Argues for Bob-Tailed Cars.
