so SAYS THE CHRONICLE OF DEM
ERARA.
The Planting of a Maxim Guu on tho Ur-
ban Would Infuriate the Venezuelans
to Its Capture-Chamberlain Handled
without Gloves.

Washington, October 25.-The Chroni-
Gle of September 81, newspaper pub
lished at, Georgetown, Demerara. contain
ing full text OF Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain's letter to the governor Of British
Guiana, was received here today. The
salient points of the letter appeared in
the London dispatches Of the United
Press a week ago. Mr. Chamberlain S
accommodations, if tho Chronicle fairly
reflects public opinion in Demelara,
do not meet with the wishes of the colo
nists. The Chr onicle ridicules the Brit
ish secretary for colonies. 1t says the only
effect of the planting of a Maxim gun on
the Urban would be its capture by the
infuriated Venezuelans, thus affording
an instructive object lesson of British
incapacity to protect it's own interests,
as the British constabulary at that place
are so few that they could be easily over
come by the Venezuelans on the opposite
bank of the river The Chronicle shows
that it would take seven weeks at least
to transport the gun from Georgetown
and the citizens of that place are too
poor to consider seriously the proposit-
ion to build road to the gold fields at
their own expense.
Mr.. Chamberlain letter to the gov
ernor of British Guiana, written about
the first of September, fortnight or
so after the receipt of Secretary OIney s
memorandum to Lord Salisbury, in
which he elaborated the Interpretation
put by this government upon tho Monroe
doctrine, and the shortness of the time
which elapsed between the Issuance of
Mr.. Olney's note and the forwarding of
Mr.. Chamberlain's letter to the governor
of Demerara, is regarded by diplomats,
as an odd coincidence, if not pregnant
with Significance.
Although the AZ rest Of the colonial po-
lice occurred a year ago, no notice has
been taken of the matter by the British
authorities except a sharp note demand
ing an explanation and requesting from
Venezuela her promise that her soldiery
should not cross to the right bank of
the Urban. To these questions the Ven
ezuelan government, it is said, replied
with an emphatic negative, since prom
ise to remain on one side of the stream
would be a tacit admission that the re-
mainder of the territory was a British
possession. The revival of the incident
as this late day is construed by diplo-
mats to mean that the boundary dispute
is the inspiration of England's ultima
Uum. and for this reason her request for
an apology and possible Indemnity will
meet with an emphatic refusal.

A DoublY Fatal Hoodoo.

AUGUSTA, Ga, January Mrs.
Johnson has died here, literally
frightened to death. A root doctor
visited her and told her that she
was filled with Lizards. When the
voodoo doctor told her this she i'm
mediately took to her bed, and her
death followed. Her children ac-
cused their father of having con-
jured her, and some Of them pro-
posed to move their mother from
their home and carry her to their
home. The old man demonstrated.
One Of his sons grew very angry
and attacked the father. The old
man, in defending bis 0"n life,
slew his son. He was arrested, but
has been released.
