The International Arbitration and Peace
association of Great Britain have taken
active steps to bring the controversy over
the boundary line of Venezuela and British
Guinea to the notice of parliament with
view to compelling the British government
to submit the questions at issue to arbitra
ton. During the administration of Glad
stone the latter agreed to arbitration, but
before the details were arranged there was
a change of government and since then
Lord Salisbury has contented himself with
the possession of the disputed territory
and has declined all propositions to arbi-
trate. The development of the gold mines
in the disputed territory is very rapid and
the immigration, especially from England
Scotland and Wales, is very active.
DIR. LIEDERMANN MURDERED.

Countess.
LONDON, March S.-Further facts have
come to light regarding the murder of DR..
Liedermann, whose body was found in a
supposed either to have committed suicide
| or to have fallen by accident down the
| ravine. DIR. Liedermann was a German
and formerly resided in Manchester. In
| December last he engaged quarters
at the National hotel at San
Reno and paid frequent visits to Monte
Carlo. Subsequently two Germans Joined
the doctor at the hotel and all three de-
| parted together by rail on December 80.

| Germans returned to the hotel without
Leidermann. In response to inquiries

That night the two Germans left the
hotel without having given notice
of their departure The body of DR.. Leid.
erman was afterwards found as described
heretofore. The spine of the murdered
man was broken and the body punctured
by pin similar to those used in prickine
cards at the gaming tables at Monte Carlo
The pockets of the dead man had beer
rifed 1t was evidently the intention o.
the murderers to give the idea that thu
deceased had been ruined by gambling q
Monte Carlo and that in desperation b.
had committed suicide. After fruitles
attempts to unravel the mystery the Sal
Reno police sent a photograph o
tho dead man to the officials of Mont
Carlo. The police of the latter plac
remembered having seen the deceased gam
bling in company with reputed Polls
countess and her German paramour, an
the woman and her companion were arrest
} ed and sent to San Reno. Tho theory G
the police is that the alleged countess d.
? coyed the unfortunate doctor to her rooms
where he suffered fate similar to that c
the victim of Eyraud in Paris. It is nc
at all certain that the so-called counties
! companion was the actual murderer, til
police being inclined to the belief that
large gang ere implicated in the crime.
