Denver, June 1S.-President Henry j.
Aldrich OF the Colorado Security Com
pany. who disappeared Ave weeks ago.
Is believed to be sojourning in Mexico.
It is claimed that his hasty departure was
due to the fact that eastern creditors

lions Of the company embraced loans ag-
gregating $1,500,0O0 to 100000. It is said
Aldrich, as trustee. has not accounted for
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars. It is
believed that Aldrich has not appropriat-
ed a single dollar to his own use, but in
order to protect the company from embar-
rassment occasioned by falling values he
guaranteed both principal and interest on
all loans and applied money wrongfully
to meet the obligations. In consequence
of his transactions, it is said, several hun
dred Colorado farmers will lose their
lands and many eastern people their in
vestments. A vast amount Of litigation
will be required to straighten out the
muddled affairs Of the company, Of which

MISTAKE AS TO HER ATTlTu DE
Great Britain's Ideas About Venezuela
Have Been Misinterrreted

Great Britain's Ideas About Venezuela
Have Been Misinterrreted.
Washington, June 18.-Sir Edward
Gray's statement in parliament yesterday
that Ambassador Bayard had been in
formed that Great Britain would consent
to the arbitration of the Venezuelan
question under certain conditions creates
some surprise among officials here, as
Sir Edwards statement is calculated to
show that Great Britain has accepted the
suggestion of the United States, whereas
1t has been declined. The desire of Ven-
ezuela is to arbitrate the entire boundary
question, and the efforts Of Bayard on be-
half of the United States was in this d.
rection. But the answer of Great Brit
ain. as given in the Associated Press dis
patch at the time, was that no arbitration
was admissible as regards certain terri
tory which Great Britain asserts is inde-
fensibly hers, though she offered to ar
bitrate concerning certain territory to
which apparently Great Britain regards
her title as less clear. The practical effect
of this was to reject the only proposition
the United States had presented.

QUILL DRIv FL
Mica--Isingiass.

A correspondent asks us what is
the difference between mica aud
isinglass.
Mica is silicate of Alumina. 1t
IS usually colorless, but sometimes
white, grey, green, red, brown,
black and yellow. 1t sometimes
occurs in six-sided crystals. 1t is
remarkable for its cleavage, having
been split so tine that 300, 0OO
plates are required to make one
inch in thickness. 1t is used for
glass in lanterns and. when split
so finely, for mounting micro
scopic objects. Large plates, of
ten a yard in diameter, are found
in Norway, Sweden, Siberia, Peru
and Mexico.
Isinglass is the dried air bladder
of the sturgeon and other fishes
Large quantities come from South
America, India, and the Hudson
Bay territory. The Mckinley
tariff placed duty of II cents pei
pound and 80 per cent ad valoren
on isinglass. Under the stim ulat
ing effect of that duty, the manu-
facture of isinglass grew to larg'
proportions on the Atlantic an(
Gulf coasts.

Just what the editor means to con-

such combination ever existed.
But for the sake of argument let's
admit that it did exist. The Mn

truthful, that it was combination
of "three of the best of EN-" and
it took ''jobbery" to knock It out.
