which reason in 1880 her majesty Is
government decided not to repeat the
offer of concessions which had not
been reciprocatcd, but to assert heI
undoubted right To the territory with
in the Schomburg line. while still
holding open for negotiations, and even
arbitration, the unsettled lands beyond
that and still within what they con
sidered To be their rightful boundary.
Referring to Guzman Blanco's de
clination to arbitrate the title to these
unsettled lands alone, and insistence
on a full arbitration, Lord Salisbury
says: This pretension is hardly
less cyorbitant than would be a refusal
by Great Britain to agree to an arbi-
tration on the boundary of British
Columbia and Alaska unless the United
States would consent to bring into
question one half of the whole area of
that territory.
He questions the desirability Of the
arbitration policy in any event and
says it depends on the case and the
parties. Still England has repeatedly
expressed her readiness to submit TO
arbitration the conflicting claims Of
Great Britain and Venezuela TO large
tracts Of territory which from their
auriferous nature are known to he of
almost untold value But she cannot
consent to entertain or 10 submit TO the
arbitration of any power or of foreign
jurists, however eminent, claims based
on the eytravagant pretensions of
Spanish officials in the last century,
and involving the transfer of large nun
bers of British subjects who have for
many years enjoyed the settled rule of
Il British colony, to q nation of differ
ent race and language. whose political
system is subject To frequent disturb
ance, and whose institutions as yet too
often afford very inadequate protection
TO life and property. No issue of this
description has ever been involved in
the questions which Great Britain and
the United States have consented to
submit to arbitration, and her
government are convinced
that in similar circumstances the gov
eminent of the United States would be
equally firm in declining to entertain
of such nature.

Durant, the California murderer, has secured

Thomas Marshall choked his half sister to
death at Brewton, Ala, last Thursday because
she had confessed their criminal intimacy TO his
wife, and buried the body in the woods. 1t was
quickly found and Marshall was with difficulty
got safely in Jail before lynch.ng party could
get him.
Relatives of the late Edgar Pratt, at Wichita,
Kan, are aroused over the stealing of his body
last week. Pratt was known as the ossified
man. He was taken before a New York Medi-
cal society just before his death, and his case
was regarded a. the most wonderful ever seen.
lie lived nine years in n perfectly rigid position,
being Kept alive by thin soup forced through his
set teeth. The New York society offered him
$1,000 year and to give his widow $1,000 at his
death If he would give them his body when he
died lie refused, and his family having learned
of it, had his body buried under a flower bed in
the front yard where it could be watched.
His father was summoned ms Il juror ut county
court last week, and one night during his al
sence the body was removed from the grave.

A lot of old reouisitions and de mends
were dug up from dustrcovered pigeon
holes and tailed about and than referred
to tho finance committee of the incom.
ing council.
These old-time demands were pre-
eented by III. Hawgood, Fred, Eaton
and g. Purcell. the engineers who we're
employed to give testimony in the big
water suit in which the city was in
volved soms time SGD. There has been
considerable talk about those demands
in days gone by. The agreement origin
ally made WAS that the engineers should
be paid $500 each, but the testimony in
court not being required by the CITY
after the work OF securing it had been
done, q compromise was made whereby
they were to get $3.50. acquisitions for
this amount were approved aud then the
vote was reconsidersd and the gentlemen
were senl for.
After q talking match, laeting soma
time, a motion TO reier the matter to the
finance com mt.ee was carried.
The matter OF some acquisitions pre-
aented by the street superintendent for
extra help. which were not reported on
by the supply committee, was brought
up by Mr.. Nickel. Mr.. Munson spoke
in favor OF allowing the bill. as the
work had been done. and although the
street superintendent was not acthor-
ized to do this work, the city has the
benefit OF tho work and the laborers
should bs paid.
Mr.. Feed thought that the street su-
perintendent's bondsmsn should be
made to pay tho man. A motion to
allow the claim was carried.
