AWAITING AN ANSWER.
The Document of Protest in the
Venezuelan Matter Made
5000 Words.

New York, Oct. 2o.-A special to the
Herald from Washington say that addi-
tionaI particulars have just been ascer-
tanned concerning the contents of Sec
rotary Olney's note to Great Britain on
the Venezuelan matter. It is a communi-
cation of about 5000 words, pointing out
the applicability of the Monroe doc
trine to the boundary dispute in Guian
and declaring the principle, which is Il
vital part of the note and the gre;
principle for which the United States is
pean power shall enlarge it's territorial
dominion on the American continent by
means of force.
Ten or eleven weeks have now elapsed
since this important communication was
placed in the hands of the British gov
ernment and no other response has been
received than a formal acknowledgment
thereof. The officials would very much
like to have a reply before Congress
convenes, but they are by no means
sanguine that their wishes will be COM
piled with. In any case the probabilities
are hat the President will officially
make known the contents of Secretary
Olney's note in his annual message.
So far as cur be learned here there
are no fresh developments in the Vene-
zuelan affair today and apparently none
is expected for some days. 1t is said
that the present unpublished British de-
mands on Venezuela is a reiteration of
q former demand, but couched in consid-
erably stronger language. In view of
the assertion that the question involved
is one Of reparation for wrongs done a
British official and does not involve the
territorial question, publication is author
lied of the first demand made by Great
Britain. Its text is:
Imperial German Legation, Caracas, Nov.
IL, 1S94.-To Senior EZeQuiel RojaS, Minister
Of Foreign Relations: In pursuance of a
telegraphic communication from my govern
Of charge of British interests in Venezuela,
to protest In the name of the cabinet of
Great Britain against a violation of the
frontier of British Guiana, perperated by
Venezuelan soldiers on the Cuyuni river and
to ask that an order Of prohibition be is
crossing that river, also against their cut
ting timber on the right bank Of the river.
l have the honor to request your excel
lency to bring this communication before a
Bile convenience, and as a solution of the
VeXatious question is desired by the parties
interested, / hope to receive the reply of
your excellency at an early moment.
BODMAN.
The protest was sent through the Ger
man minister, Baron Bodman, as the
British have discontinued diplomatic re-
lations with Venezuela.
The text of Venezuela's answer, also
made public, shows that the demand
was rejected on the express grounds that
instructions to Venezuela soldiers not to
cross the Cuyuni river would be a sur
render of the entire territorial question
continually urged by Venezuela.

RECALL THE
Secretary Chamberlain Summons
Sis Charles Lee to
London.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 26.-The ac-
ton of the British Guiana authorities in
rejecting, by a vote of 10 to s, the policy
urged by British Minister Chamberlain
for arming the Venezuelan frontier with
AaXim guns, as exclusively told in AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches, excites much
interest in official and diplomatic cir
cleS. 1t is said to be a most unusual
course of the colonial government to re-
Ject the advice of the home government
on questions of important public policy.
1t appears also that, following the
adverse action in British Guiana, the
London foreign Office cabled directions
to Sir Charles Lees, encouragement of
the colony, to return to London. 1t is
stated here that this was equivalent to
a recall, and the belief is expressed that
it indicates the disapproval of the Lon
don authorities in the inability of the
encouragement to carry out the policy
laid down by Minister Chamberlain.
The position of governor-general is one
of such dignity that it is not usual to
summon him to London merely for con-
sultation, although this happened when
the Venezuela question reached a crit
ical stage in 1871. Among those in
a position to be best informed the be-
lief is quite positive that Sir Charles
has been recalled, and hat the action of
the Guiana council is the direct cause
of it. The encouragement is now on
his way from Demerara to London.
The British ultimatum has not yet
reached Caracas. The understanding
here is that it was forwarded from
London to Berlin and thence by a steam
er from Hamburg to La Guayra. The
trip would take two or three weeks, so
that its receipt in Venezuela is antici-
pated within the next few days.
Monday next is the feast of Bolivar"
the national holiday of Venezuela, and
it is believed that President Crespo will
take occasion on that day to name the
members of his new cabinet including
the minister of foreign affairs.

The noise Of the Quacking and calling
to one another was at times heard two
miles away. At San Pedro and ut the
little lake In Kern County there are
said to be even greater numbers Of the
game. because of the proximity Of the
wheat fields.
Large numbers Of the geese are slail
annually during their migrations. II
is no trick for boy sportsman to get
fifty or sixty Of the birds In a few
hours, and hundreds Of the older hunt.
ers In this region have often got over
two hundred geese In day. A party
Of four Los Angeles sportsmen who
went out for two days hunt over In
the Orange County marshes last week,
came home with over nine hundred
dead geese for the city markets. Two
Bakerfield men had a three days hunt
lately and came home with farm
wagon loaded down with geese and
ducks. In all the little towns along the
line Of the Santa Fe railroad in this
section there are score or two Of
men and boys who regularly, spring
and fall, turn out for n days shoot at
wild geese and ducks, and the person
who does not show that he has tumbled
over at least twenty-five birds is ac
counted in poor luck, or a decided nov.
ice in hunting. Many persons will ride
to the outskirts Of the town, and, stand.
ing in a buggy or wagon, will satisfy
themselves with a shot at the armies
of flying birds at long range. Occa.
sionally they will bring down a goose
with such random shooting. All the
markets and the country grocery
stores now have wild geese and ducks
exhibited for sale at nominal prices.

gradually accumulating over the brigh;
anticipations of q few months ago, q con
tinued state Of agitation and disappoint
ment had strained endurance beyond the
utmost, and the passionate, self-willeG
woman gave way under it. A cold, caught
during long drive with Lord Dorringtor
in the east wind, obliged Mrs. Ruthver
to keep her room. After a day or two OF
anxious attendance on the part of the
local doctor, high fever set in, and it was
evident that Mrs. Ruthven was danger
ously Ill. A great physician and a couple
of trained nurses were summoned from
London, all the pomp and circumstance
Sf serious sickness were established in
Lady Dorrington's pleasant house, and
for the time sporting men and dancing
women knew it no more.
CHAPTER III.
1t was some little time before the evi
tidings reached Mrs. L'Estrange and
Nora, as their correspondence with Lady
Dorrington was not too frequent, and she
was too much taken up. and too angry
with him, to continue her diurnal letters
to her brother.
Meanwhile Nora and her step-mothe,
went on the even tenor of their way.
Mrs. L'Estrange had gone to Norwood
to luncheon with an old lady, a distan,
cousin of her mother, who had only re-
membered her existence after she had
made what was considered n good mar
riagc, and had more than once invited her
Mrs. L'Estrange always found 1t hard to
say no, and, somewhat to Nora's indigna'
ton, had consented: but went alone, as
her step-daughter refused to accompany
ler.
1t was dusk when she returned, for hei
hostess had INDUCED herself in endless in
Quiries and fault-fnding respecting theil
mutual relations. Mrs. LEstrange was
wearied, and longed to see Nora's kind
bright face, to describe the peculiarities
Of her testy kinswoman while enjoying q
cup of fresh, warm tea.
Nora was sitting on footstool by the
freight when her step-mOther came in
and the little tea table was drawn neal
the hearth, the teapot simmering under
It's cozy, plateful of thin bread and but
ter, temptingly delicate, beside it.
"How late you are, Helen," cried Nora
starting up and coming over to assist in
taking off her cloak. What has KEEP,
you SO long?" Something in her tone
struck Mrs. L'Estrange; it was not i'm
patience exactly, it was a sort Of subdued
excitement.
"It was not the charms of my hostess
nor the delights of my visit, assure you,
and she proceeded to describe the bitter
ness of her entertainer with much quieI
drollery, while Nora poured out the tea.
"You don't want the lamp yet!' She
asked, after laughing at her step-mother'!

vas pause; then Nora said suddenly:
Helen, Clifford Marsden called hers

Yes. He said something about coming
last night"
But, Helen! He-he-asked me ts
marry him! I was so amazed"
"Well, Nora, l am surprised. too. though

House Number Centennial.


Berlin is preparing 20 fete the hun.
dredth birthday Of the house number.
In the London and Paris Of a century
ago ciphered houses did not exist. The
coat of arms, the house name. or the
sign-board were the only indications
to guide our ancestors wandering feet
by day or dark. "Watchman, what Of
the night, and where the deuce am II"
must often have been the cry Of these
bewildered minds. Berlin began to
number houses In 1908. Starting from
the Brandenburg Gate, the Prussian
ediles counted straight on to infinity,
neither beginning afresh with fresh
streets, nor numbering the houses by
odds and evens. Vienna adopted the
latter reform in 1903, and Paris fol.
lowed in 1905. The ciphered house
came 100 years ago; the ciphered citizen
Is surely coming. Already postal so
ciety is being formed in Vienna to sup
press all names and addresses, and to
deliver letters by a system Of private
marks and identity tickets. Our famil-
lar addresses will look 100 years hence
like the beginning Of an algebraical
problem, and our personality will be
reduced-like the government majority

Ct,l,ze the Earth's Hea,

One Of the schemes for future engl-
neers to work at will be the sinking Of
a shaft 1900 or $1,000 feet into the
earth for the purpose Of utilizing the
central heat Of the globe. 1t Is said
that such a depth Is by no means i'm
possible, with the improved machinery
and advanced methods Of the coming
engineer. Water at temperature Of
200 degrees centigrade, which can, 1t Is
said, be obtained from these deep bor
ings, would not only heat houses and
public buildings, but furnish power
that could be utilized for many pur-
poses Hot water already at hand Is
necessarily much cheaper than that
which must be taken when cold and
brought up to the required temperature.
Once the shaft is sunk, all cost in the
item Of the hot water supply ceases.
The pipes. If good, will last indefinite
~ and, as natures stokers never allow
the fire to go out, there would come in
the train Of this arrangement many
advantages. When by sinking q shaft
