WASHINGTON, Dec. THE reply of Lord

the Venezuelan boundary dispute was deliv-
cred 10 Secreta Olney at noon tody Don l.
son, the messenger of the British embassy,
came early to the State department this morn
ing with note from Sir Julian Pauncefote,
asking for an appointment to see the secre-
tary. This was arranged speedily for this
morning and Sir Julian presented the note
in person to the secretary. the ambassador
himself reading its contents to Mr.. Olney, as
Is the custom when important documents are
presented.
For some reason the State department Off
cials took steps to prevent the fact that the
note had been delivered from gaining pub
licity, but without avail At the British en-
bassy there was the same indispositon to
give any publicity to the proceedings. All
inquiry as to the nature of the note failed
to secure response from any official and 1t
will probably be reserved as an official secret
as far as the Washington authorities are con-
cerned until the president upon his return
has an opportunity to consider it and send 1t
to congress, but 1t Is known that 1t Is on the
same general lines indicated in the Associated
