TO TAKE POSSESSION.
Americans Want to Work Their
Venezuelan Concession
DESPITE ENGLISH DIRECTIONS

Both President Cleveland and Secretary
oiney. 1t Is Said, Are In Favor Of Enforc-
Ing the Monroe Doctrine Unless Arbitrs-
tion Is spssdiIy Agreed To.
BT, PAUL, Oct. 2.-The Pioneer Press
aays~M Moses Il. Clapp left for. New York
bsst night to attend tomorrow evening a
hastily arranged meeting Of the Mapoa
company, limited, to consider immediate
steps to take possession OF the territory
embraced within the concession from Ven
ezuela. The outcome of the meeting may
possibly be fraught with serious results.
1t Is no secret that portion, at least, OF
the territory is In dispute between Vene-
zuela and Great Britain, and that the
government Of the former country will not
be 10th to avail itself Of the moral, and, II
necessary, physical good offices of the
United States to prevent tho encroaoh-
ment of the latter. Indeed, it is said that
the grant of tho concession was shrewd
stroke Of diplomacy of the Venezuelan
president for the purpose of drawing the
United States directly into action to force
Great Britain to abandon hor usurpation
Of territory.
The syndicate has given notice that it
will take possession of its territory within
u month. But diplomatic correspondence
on this subject between Washington and
London have been active for some time
past President Cleveland and Secretary
of State Olney are said to be one on the
question of action, and three letters, 1t is
reported, have been sent to Mr.. Bayard,
instructing him to notify tho British gov
ernment that unless the whole question is
submitted to arbitration, and settled within
ninety days, tho United States will act
upon its own view of tho dispute and en-
force the Monroe doctrine.
Tomorrow's meeting in New York, ID Is
said, is called to consider the details of
taking possession of the land embraced in
the concessions

Use and abuse of Euali,h.

The first lecture of the course to be
given at the Hlgn School this term by
Rev. Merritt Hnlburd was delivered by
him yesterday afternoon. His subject was
the Use and Abuse Of English" The lec-
ture he said was merely q stndy of works.
BE spoke agout the origin of lang uage
ami briefly reviewed the theories that
have been al vanced to account for it.
Ho expressed the belief that the English
language was destined to be the universal
ono. To prove this. he said that the Eng
lish. speaking peopla are increasing Ia
numbers faster than any other people In
the world. A co mparlson OF tho Increase
OF the different people OF the world for a
century, he said, would show chat those
sreaking English had increased thirty
times faster than any of the others.
In addition to this. he said. the Anglo
Saxon tongue was peculiarly persistent
one. After the Norman conquest. he said,
the Norman French among oil but the
common people. Norman French was the
language of the court and of the learned.
In every way possible the Saxon tongue
was made a stigma. In spite OF this the
perslstency of the Saxon tongue
triumphed, and at this lime only lew
traces OF the Norman remains to indicate
thnt there ever was Norman conquest.
English. he sold, wps migratory Ian
guage. People from the mother land
went to all parts OF the world. In each
new country new words were formed and
q new dialect was made from tho mother
speech. Some of the peculiarities of the
language OF the United States, he said.
were caused by the fact that people had
come here from all lands and many OF
them did not use the best language of
their own countries. Ihe result was he
said something which was neither fish,
hesh, fowl or good red herflnR.

And the past will seem dream.
Waken from the sleepy stupor.

And leave Cot for the morrow.

Echo back the sounds forgotten.
Still Ia dreamland floats the song.
Ard departing pleasures cover
All the past that's come and gone.
Like voice that is heard In the distance.
Like q reed that sways with the wind,
Like flowers that blossom In sunshine,
In rapture the voice calls again.
Silent and still in the hour OF midnight
A whisper fell In my eur.

We are travelling, we are talking,

And in wakeniHg find our pleasure.

SPAIN MUST GRANT REFORMS.
A Large Measure of Autonomy Necessary
II She Retains Cuba,


LONDON, Oct. AIN the course of long
letter from Havana, published In The
Times, the correspondent says that the
longer he stays in Cuba, and the more he
sees Of the Cubans, the stronger has be-
come his conviction that q large measure
of autonomy is necessary II Spain wishes
to preserve Cuba In peaceful state.
tThe whole feeling Of the people," he
proceeds, 'is against the continuance of
the existing system. Spain must, there
fore, look tho situation In the face and
grant radical reforms. 1t seems impossi.
bic, to me, however, that Cuba, rs an In
dependent republic, could ever hope to be
happy and united"
Tho correspondent is convinced that the
most vital point Mt which tho authorities
can strike tho insurgents is in the supplies
OF war material. The insurgents cannot
even maintain their numbers in the field
unless munitions are forthcoming.
'If Spau can prevent the landing of ex-
petitions" tho letter concludes, "a severe
blow will be dealt to the prospects Of the
revolution"
