The famous Myra Clark Gaines case, it is be.

the United States last Friday, when Chief Justice
FULLER announced that the appeal of the city of
New Orleans from the Judgment of the circuit
court Of the United States for the eastern district

The Venezuelan nisnnte.

According to the latest Venezuelan dispatches
there is no doubt that the dispute between Great
Britain and Venezuela as to the boundaries of the
republic is approaching crisis. The administra-
tor of British Guiana, acting on instructions from
the imperial government, has made declaration
to the British Guiana legislature which clearly
indicates that unless Venezuela wlthdraws her
claims to the greater part of the territory in dis
pute the imperial government is prepared to as
sert the rights Of British Guiana by force Of
arms and the colonial legislature has voted to the
governor an open check for war expenses for CO.
onial and imperial forces. The belief now gener-
ally accepted here is that this long standing dis
pute will only be settled by force of arms, and
that it is only question of weeks before the roar
of cannon and clash of arms are heard again in
the South American Republic The British Guia-
mans openly boast that they We got the men and
got the money, too" for the assertion of their
territorial rights. According to this despatch ii
