From the White House they were driven

an extension of time on his generous and
extraordinary offer DIR. Walker W wjshes it
generally understood that those who avail
themselves of this opportunity Will be treat
ed until cured at this small fee. Do not hesi-
tate because you know your disease is
very chronic one and that you must be

your case.
Nervous disorders characterized by fall
ing memory, occasional wandering of the

DR.. Walkers treatment.
Young or middie-aged men who feel their.
powers failing can be permanently restored
by Dr.. Walkers method OF treatment.
Catarrh OF the head is very prevalent at
this season of the year, Many who could
be cured now will run the chance OF de-
veloping a deep-seated lung trouble before

CAME AT OLNEY'S REQUEST
Vice Consul Spaight Here to Inform
Him About Venezuela.
His Presence Is Believed TO Fore
shadow an Early Declaration
of Policy.

In addition 10 the wcll-founded report
that Secretary Olncy will in all probability
be forced to withdraw from the Cabinet
by reason of the failurte OF his associates
to support him in the prosecution OF a
vigorous foreign policy, there are self
evident Indications that the attitude To
be assumed by the United States will soon
be definitely determined.
For the purpose OF obtaining accurate
and official Information on the various
features involved in the dispute, between
England and Venezuela, It is understood
that Vice Consul Spaight, representing the
United States at Georget own, British
Guiana. has been summoned to Washington
for the express purpose OF laying before
the authorities full Information upon the
subjects to be hereafter officially consid-
cred.
DR.. James Spaight has resided at George
town for twenty years, and is fully CON
versant with every detail OF the diplomatic
entang lements that have arisen during
that period. He is fully qualified to make
an exact statement OF the present situa-
tion, and may prove OF incalculable ser
vice to the State department IN connection
with pending negotiations.
Dr. SpaIgnt Is stopping at the Arlington.
He is utterly unapproachnble as to the Da-
ture OF the business which has called him
to this city. He expresses himself, how
ever, as believing that the trouble between
Great Britain and Venezuela VIII soon be
settled, ana without Interference from this
or any other country.
In 1891 the frontier dispute between
Venezuela and Colombia was decided by
the arbiter, Spain, in Coionbia's favor and
the southwestern boundary is now formed
by the rivers Aranca, Orinoco. Atabspo and
Negro, while the old peninsula of Gooiiva
and the town OF San Fausiino belong TO
Colombia.
In 1SSO-s2 Venezuela Brazilian COM
mission marked off definite southern from.
tier. Venezuelan maps mark the extent
or the northern boundary along the coast
as far as the mouth of the Essequibo river,
Instead OF south to that or the Amacuro, and
between ten degrees and four degrees north
latitude; thus cutting a large tongue like
section out of British Guiana. This the
British Colonial government took formal
possession of in 1892.
