Orinoco Company About to Send

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The st. James
Gazette this afternoon made some
highly important and sensational
statements regarding Venezuela,
which seem to show that the dis
pute between that republic and
Great Britain has assumed a very
grave aspect. 1t says that since
Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain as
sumed office as secretary for the
colonies he has paid close personal
attention to the relations between
Great Britain and Venezuela, and
that he has taken the initiative in
directing in part the administration
OF the affairs of the British colony
of Guiana, adjoining Venezuela. Mr..
Chamberlain's hand, it appears, has
been felt in the local executive
council, and the ST James Gazette
adds:

which is outlined tthe imperial policy
towards the colonies. The document
IS OF much Importance, inasmuch as

TWO Maxim guns, one of which is to
be stationed at Uruan or elsewhere
along the frontier where the Venezue-
lanS may attempt to cross. The mere
fact that MIR. Chamberlain cabIed in
structions for the defense of the 'front.'
Ter in this manner is positive proof that
the imperial government will not toll
crate a repetition of the Uruan Incl
dent, and that it intends to hold the
frontier within the Schomburgh line
by force If necessary.
In this dispatch Mr.. Chamberlain
advocates especially fostering gold
mines, and urges the cutting of a road
from the upper Barima river to Cuyuni

VENEZUELA ORDERS GUNS.
OrinOco Company About TO Send a
Party South,

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-That the Ven-
ezuelan question is approaching an
acute stage, with the possibilities of
resistance by the South American gov
ernment to British aggression, was
signiied by disclosures made in New
York today on the best authority. The
government of Venezuela is providing
itself with modern armament. and
among other supplies has ordered ten
improved Maxim guns from the Brit
ish firm which manufactures them.
The order was placed through a New
York firm, and the English house, it
is supposed, does not know the destina-
ton of the goods. At the same time
the syndicate of United States capi-
talists which has secured concessions
in the Venezuela lands claimed by
Great Britain, is preparing to send a
large force of prospectors, miners and
workmen into the field. William N.
Stafford, counsel for the Orinoco COM
pany-the American syndicate-made
plain today the position assumed by the
Orinoco company.
"The company" said he, proposes to
work Its concessions without delay. It
VIII send prospectors along the line of
the lnlataca mountains, whose foot
hills are supposed to be rich with gold
mines. That territory is of course in
the company's concessions and has al
ways been so marked on the map.
But now that there is a : prospect of
gold there Great Britain claims IL.
Arrangements are being made to send
our men there to develop the compa-
ny's concession-not with any intent
to start a controversy, but to assert
the company's rights. Besides the
mines there are other properties in the
concessions awaiting development.
Great Britain refers to the Schon-
burgh line, but the fact is she has gone
beyond that This line is purely i'm
aginary. Sir Robert Schornbureb visit.
ed Venezuela in 1910 and, starting at
Point Barima, merely drew a line

la government has conclusive evidence
that he made no survey. In 1850 Great
Britain asserted that it had no inten-
ton to occupy or usurp disputed terri.
tory. SO matters went until 1885. In
that year rich gold fields, now yielding
S400O,O0O a year, were discovered west
OF the Schomhurgh lire. between the
Guiana and Paraman rivers. They ara
known as the Barima gold fields and
are fifty to sixty miles west of the
SchcmburSh line. Nevertheless Great
Britain promptly stepped in and claim,
ed that territory. And so she has
gone on since, claiming land wherever
gold has been discovered. The Orinoco
company claims those gold fields as
being in its concession and proposes to
stand up for its perfectly clear title to
them"

opened in the Congregational church
shortly after $50 this morning Thesl
organ loft of the church was dec-s
GRATED with a handsome lot of potted
plants. 1t is estimated that 800 del
egates are in attendance, although
only 2o0 have registered. The serv- !
Ice opened with prayer by A. T.
Morley, of Minneapolis, after which
Rev. w. w. Newell, of Duluth. led
an inspiration service lasting half an
hour. Short addresses and PRAYERS
oy several Of the delegates and pas
TORS followed, the whole interspersed
with songs by the convention. The
actlVe business of the convention was
then taken up. Before taking up the
work, President Hunt made a brief
ADDRESS, saying that the attendance
at the opening session was larger
! than at any preceding state gother-
ing. After the appointment of COM
| portation committee, Mrs. J. Currie
clark, editor of the official state
paper, the Minnesota Endeavorer,
addressed the convention. after
which there was general discussion

is indebted more than it was last

ard debt of $75, which still hangs fire.
| Ihe sum Of $1,000 will be needed for
this year. Miss Maud Taylor, Of

''It is to the credit Of Gen. Harrison
to say that If the reputed bargain was
made it was without his consent at the
time"
On the eve of another national cam
paign, in which ex-President Harrison
is expected to figure prominently, Mr..
Sherman does not hesitate to state
that in 1892 he did not consider Harri-
son a. strong candidate. To his cold
and abrupt manner he attributes his
unpopularity at that time. Space is de-
voted by the, author to an account Of
the important events of each admins
tration. In this connection Mr. Sher-
man lays bare many of the jealousies,
political chickering's and clash of am
b1tions that disturb the harmony of
the party In power.
SCANDAL AND SLANDER.
OF Grants administration. he saws il
was period of scandal and slander.
Perhaps the seyerest criticism of Cen.
Grants craftsmanship is found in the
following extract from Mr. Sherman's
work:
During the entire period of Grants
administration l was chairman of the
committee on finance of the senate and
had to act upon all questions of taxa
ton, debt, banking or finance and had
occasion to talk with the president up
on such measures, but he rarely eX-
pressed any opinion or took any inter-
est in them
At the age of p years Senator Sher-
man recalls the affair over the at
tempt to remove Chester A. Arthur
from the collectorship of the port of
New York with much feeling. The cor
respondence bearing on the controver-
sy, never before published, is given in
full and Mr.. Sherman's part as secre-
tary is stated in detail Arthur is
shown up in an unenviable light and
and the attitude Of Roscoe Conkling
toward the president is caustically
commented upon. The formers nomi-
nation as vice-president, the Ohio
statesman says, was the whim of
Conkling to annoy President Hayes.
Throughout that part of the work re-
lating to President Hayes Mr. Sher-
man speaks in the highest praise of
the chief executive of the nation. The
following interesting incident, which
occurred near the close of President
Hayes administration, is related:
When near the close of his term
he (Hayes) gave the usual dinner to
the members of the outgoing and the
incoming cabinets. 1t was purely an
official dinner, but Hayes said there
were but two gentlemen present who
were not in office. We looked around
to see who the unhappy two were,
and found they were Garfield and my
self. Garfield had not vet become
president and I had resigned as sec
retary the day before. This happened

frequent effort has been made to
gain information regarding the con-
tents, but the Associated Press is en-
abled to present today for the first
time a resume of Mr.. Sherman's
autobiography. AS anticipated, the
feature of the book is it's extreme
frankness; the style in which Mr..
Sherman has expressed himself
shows the statesman rather than the
professional book-maker. The work
Us marked by clear-cut and blunt ex-
pressions of opinion, and but little
attempt at literary grace is made
The book is very evidently intended
by the author as an exposition of the
financial policy of the Republican
party, which to great extent is his
own, and about the extensive and
finance is woven anecdotes and per-
sonal reminiscence replete with in
terest to every student Of politics.
GARFIELD AND SHERMAN.
Owing to the close association of
Mr.. Sherman and James A Garfield
the criticism Of the nomination of the
latter for president of the United
States is perhaps one of the most
striking features of the book The au-
thor, while carefully avoiding a direct
charge Of treachery on the part of the
eX-president, very significantly makes
it plain that Mr.. Garfield was nom
mated at a convention to which he
had gone as the trusted leader of the
Sherman forces. After showing, by
the publication of private letters, COW
ering a period of years of close polit-
ical and personal association, that Mr.
Garfield was in reality his political
protege, Mr.. Sherman gives in detail
the history Of the national convention
of 1880. Following the account of his
own struggle for the nomination he
says:
"In time I became thoroughly ad-
vised Of what occurred at the Chicago
convention and had become entirely
reconciled to the. result, though fire.
quently afterwards 1 heard incidents
and details which occasioned me great
pain and which seemed to establish
the want Of sincerity on the part of
some of the delegates, and that tended
to show that for some time before the
meeting of the convention the nom
ination of Garfield had been agreed
upon"
The sting felt by Garfields defec-
ton in 1880 is inadvertently shown by
a sentiment expressed during the dis
cussion of the national convention of
1882, where the senator remarks:
Prom later developments 1 became
satisfied that Harrison could not be
elected: that Platt and powerful
New York influence would defeat him
