WASHINGTON BUDGET.
Venezuela Boundary Question Reve'
lation Of sharp Practice ON the
Part OF England-SOuthern
Ute Lands.

Washington, May 15.-According to ad-
vices received important British docu-
ments have been found at Hawaii as to
the pending British Venezuela boundary
question, which the United States has
urged should be settled by arbitration.
Assistant United States Surveyor General
G. g. Lyons, of Hawaii, has made map,
accompanied by statement, which it is
said supports the Venezuelan contention,
even on the evidence thus far presented
by the British. The records brought to
public attention by Mr.. Lyons were fur
nished TO Hawaii by the British foreign
Office, when Hawaii waa monarchy and
largely under British control. They are
now on file in the surveyors Office at
Honolulu. Mr.. Lyons was led to make
the investigation by the publication last
month of an Official British map of Guiana
territory. On comparing this with the
ty years ago, he found that the boundary
line had been entirely changed. The first
map gave the line as Venezuela claims it
should be. The last map shifts the line
far westward, and includes as British ter
ritory about 10000 square miles, which
the first map showed to be clearly Vene-
zuelan territory. The old map was made
by the Royal Geographical Society of
England and was thereafter given official
approval and sent out by the foreign Of
fee. 1t is therefore considered of scien-
tiic as we'll as of official value.
THE UTE LANDS.
The department of the interior has re-
ceived no official word from Col. Kidd,
the commissioner appointed to confer
with the Southern Ute Indians under the
bill which became law at the last ses-
sion of congress, since he departed for
the scene of his labors. The understand
ing at the department among the minor
officials seems to be that Kidd's present
work is to be of somewhat preliminary
character, and in no respect final-that
In fact, he goes to the Indian country as
a sort of personal representative of the
secretary, for the purpose of looking the
ground over and advising what further
steps, if any, under the law, are desirable.
