AN old ENGLISH MAP
Document Which Is Likely to
Figure in the Venezuelan
Claims.
Ten THOUSAND SQUARE MILES
Under Dispute Was Once For
mally Acknowledged to Be
Venezuela's.

WASHINGTON, May 16-According to
advices received here, British docu-
ments have been found at Hawaii, as to
the pending British-V Venezuela bound
ary question, in which the United
States has urged arbitration as means
OF settlement. Assistant Surveyor
General Lyons of Hawaii has examined
them and has made map, accom-
panied by statement, which it is said
supports the contention of Venezuela
even on the evidence Of the British.
Senor Andrade, the Venezuelan minis
ter here, says it is the first time that
the documents sent out by the British
foreign Office have been made available
in the controversy.
Furnished Long Ago.
The records now brought to public at
tention by Mr.. Lyons were furnished
to Hawaii by the British foreign office
at a time when Hawaii was monarchy
and largely under British control
They are now on file at the surveyors s
office at Honolulu, where Mr.. Lyons,
as assistant surveyor general, has had
access to them. He was led to the in
vestigation by the publication last
month Of an official British map Of the
Guiana territory On comparing this
with the map furnished by the foreign
Office, 20 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 tho line far westward,
and includes as British territory about
10000 square miles, which the first
map showed to be
Clearly Venezuelan Territory.
This intervening 10000 square miles
is the subject Of contention. The old
map was made by the Royal Geograph-
ical society Of England, and was there
after given official approval and sent
out by the foreign Office. It is there
fore considered Of scientific as well as
official value. Mr.. Lyons in the course
Of his statement, which is signed, says:
1.-THE area thus taken in, as shown on
these maps themselves, is 10000 square
miles or more, larger than the area Of
either Massachusetts, or Vermont.
What the Venezuelans claim we have
not the means of knowing, but it is
very natural that they should claim at
least that British Guiana should ad-
here to it's own original map"

Those who attended the meeting Of the
assembly at Portland, Or, reflect on
the fact that pool was formed by va.
rions delegations, which met on the
way, who were successful in the. cleo.
ton Of their candidate. It is possible
that the Western delegations may re-
peat these tactics previous to the cleo
tion Of moderator, and succeed in break
ing all states but, their own. DR.. Booth
still remains favorite candidate in
Pittsburg and the East. #

Commander Thayer's recent letter 10
the Massachusetts, G. A. R., protesting
against the proposed dedication Of the
confederate monument at 0akwoods
cemetery Memorial day, that many
persons deeply interested in the event
believe part Of the public has been
led TO misconstrue the significance Of
the ceremonies to be performed. Gen.
Underwood, commander of the divi-
sion of the north, United Confederate
Veterans, deemed it advisable TO issue
letter defining his position. The let

zens of the United States, reunited
people Of one nation" says in part:
srhe permission to erect a monu-
ment over the remains of 5000 south
eBn soldiers in Oakwoods cemetery was
granted by the secretary of war. Ac-
cordingly a fund was raised, two
thirds of which has been contributed
by citizens of Chicago, and the monu-
ment as 1t stands was erected under
direct provision OF the permit that
emanated from the war department

Of It's being a holiday, might attend

National Association OF Cigar Manufactur-
Ors In Session at Chicago.
CHICAGO, May l5.-President John H.
Brown, of Detroit, called the annual
convention of the National Association
of Cigar Manufacturers to order at
N o'clock. this morning. One
hundred and fifty delegates were
present. The annual output
represented by the factories of the
firms from which the delegates were
selected is about 1,5CO, 900, 900 cigars, or
one-third Of the total product of the
country. Most of this mornings ses-
sion was consumed in the appointment
of committees.
1t is the general impression among
the cigarmakers here that the manu-
facturers' association intends to cut
wages. It is known that they now
think the men are receiving too
much money. Hand made cigars are
now paid for at the rate of
from SIG per 1000 up and mold cigars
from 81 up. If the cut comes it will
probably precipitate a big strike all
over the country, and the men are but
poorly prepared to resist the manu-
facturers in big strike.
