Eurther inauIry Into the subiect makes

Further inquiry into the subject makes
1t appear that II the commission to be
appointed to ascertain the facts respect
ing the Venezuelan boundary nnds It
necessary to visit the country and to
personally locate the line the work Will
consume nearly SIX months.
Many names have been suggested for
membership on the commission, but to-
days action Of the Senate in passing the
House bill unamended apparently elm
mates several Of these names, including
that Of Justice Harlan Of the United
States Supreme court. One name favor
ably mentioned is that Of Mr.. Partridge
of Vermont, formerly United States min
lister TO Venezuela.
That the administration has not moved
precipitately In the Venezuelan AFFAIR IS
evidenced by the fact, which has now
become known, that Secretary Olney's
famous letter defining the Monroe doc
trine was considered for fully two
months before being dispatched to Am
bassador Bayard for delivery to Lord
Salisbury. Moreover, 1t is fact that
the presidents message. while perhaps
hastily reduced to exact form, really
was the subject of deep deliberadon for
almost six months for there 10 good
reason to believe the adverse response of
Lord Salisbury to Secretary Olney's
note was expected by the president.

sage " distinct advance IN QUIZ AZ

for, whereas, the latter was confined 10
a declaration Of a doctrine, the former
proposed action that went far beyond
that point. 1t was this reason, without
doubt, that caused the message to be
most carefully considered for many
months.
The statements Of many European ps-
pers that the presidents message was
merely for political effect is the result OF
reports sent out by foreign diplomas
stationed here. The prompt acton or
Congress should dispel this nonsensical
notion.
Although Secretary Herbert returned
to Washington from New York this ar
ternoon, as yet he has taken no action
respecting the orders to the North At
lantIc squadron, and so 1t will not sail
morrow. as was intended, for the
West Indies.
A New York paper says: Excellent
| information is that the three commits
sioners whom the president viii ap-
point to investigate the Venezuelan
boundary question will be ex-United

of Minister Terrell the administration
has determined to remove American
citizens from the dIsaffected district Of
Mnrash. in Asia Minor. This determin-
alton was reached Mt the cabinet meet
ing yesterday. and member of the
cabinet said that the navy department
had been instructed to issue the neces-
sary orders to the commander-in-chief
of the European squadron to effect the
removal of the Americans now at
Marash. The instruction WINS sent Inst
evening to Rear Admiral selfridge by
cable.
These instructions are explicit. He
will combine his fleet at Alexandretta.

direct the American missionaries and
other American citizens in Marash to
come on board his vessel In case It
should be necessary to give them pro-
lection during their Journey from Mar
ash to Alexandretta, he has been auth.
orized to land a force of marines. The
vessels which Admiral Seifridge will
mobilize at Alexandretta will he the
San Francisco, the Marblehead and the
Minneapolis.
Should the. escort be sent to Marash
from Alexandretta 1t would have to
march distance of seventy-five miles.
Marash being about that distance from
the seaport.
The action Of the administration in
directing the removal of American citi-
zens from Marash is precedent for
similar action in the cases of other
disturbed districts Of Asin Minor,
Minister Terrell suggests that all
Americans quit Turkey. The admin
istration is anxious this advice Should
