OSCAR WILDE.-Opinions concerning
Mr.. Oscar Wilde are so numerous that
it will do no harm to add one more to
the number. Nlr. Wilde is still spoken
of as thing of beauty and a person OF
engaging appearance. The writer met
him in London last summer, and had
an extended conversation with the ex-
aesthetic upon business matter which
was subsequently settled TO the salts,
faction of ali parties concerned MIR.
Wilde was at that time addicted to
wearing cork-soled boots of very
large and cumbersome make, and be
wore Tapping trousers that bagged al
the knees. His rather shspeless BODY
was encased 10 frock coat walch
might have been made by al o6cure
tailor in Newark, so awkwards and Ill,
fitting were its outlines, and 1t wouid
be the widest possible departure from
the truth 10 assert that his general ap-
pearance and expression were anything
but repellant. The front OF his coat
was stained with grease. His teeth
were discolored, and the fat hung in
heavy masses over his jaw bones.
Along with his unwieldy bulk and gen.
eral ungainliness of movement there
was manner of assumed femininit
that aroused ridicule if not disgust.
Mr.. Wilde sat bumped up in chair,
with his eyes turned upward and his
voice was pitched like woman's. He
twisted his rings nervously, and occa
sionally pressed handkerchief with a
narrow lace border to his lips as be
talked. There were two prominent
Americans present at the interview,
and they must read with interest the
assertion made in some Of the dispatch
es that Mr.. Wilde is man of magniti
cent physique, with engaging manners
and generally magnetic presence

OLNEY WILL NOT TALK.
Believed that His Note will Not be in the
Nature of an UItilnatum.

Believed that His Note will Not be in the
Nature of an UItIlnatum.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 4-Secretary
Olney positively refuses to say anything
touching any correspondence he has had
or intends TO have relative to the settle
ment of the Venezuelan boundary dispute,
so it cannot be positively aScertained
whether he has taken any steps recent
ly to induce Great Britain to submit
the matter to arbitration. 1t can be
stated, however, that since Secretary
Gresham'S death, and up to a very re-
cent date, the department had not made
Il single move in that direction. But
inasfnuch as Congress by resolution has
directed the executive to use its best
efforts to bring the dispute to arbitra-
ton, it is very probable that, having in
mind the near approach of the assem-
bling of Congress, Secretary Olney had
been giving the subject the attention it
demands and is formulating his views
to be communicated to Ambassador Bay
ard upon the return of the latter from
his vacation in Scotland. Moreover, as
the preceding. letters of the late Secre-
tary Gresham on this subject appear,
they have failed to secure action by the
British government, whose only eSpOnSe
was a reiteratiOn of their willingness to
arbitrate the title to the lands included
within supplementary claims and outside
of the vast tract which the Nenezuelan3
assert have been seized from them.
Secretary Olney may feel that the
time has come to make a more forcible
presentation than the mere statement
that the United States would welcome
a submission of the questions to arbitra-
ton. AS diplomacy has many steps be-
tween the initiation of an incident and
q declaration of war, it is possible, fol-
lowing ordinary usage, to set out such
a view in terms which, while still forci-
bic, shall be entirely courteous and III
no degree approaching an ultimatum,
and such undoubtedly will be the nature
of Secretary Olney's letter. This must
be done in order that some proper re-
turn may be made to Congress in De-
cember next, but further thar that the
secretary is not likely to proceed, for
war, to deliver such might be regarded
as an infringement of the constitutional
right of Congress.

HJALMAR B0YESEN DEAD.
rheumatism of the Heart Carries
Off the Author in New
York City.

New York, Oct. 4.-Prof. Hjalmar II.
Boyesen died in this city today of rheu-
matism of the heart.
Hjalmar Hjorth Boyesen was born in
Fredericksvoern, Norway, on September
%. 1913. He received his preliminary
education in the gymnasium in Christi
ania, and after a course of study at
Leipsic, Germany, was graduated in 1868
at the University of Norway. He came
at once to the United States and became
editor of the "Fremad," a Scandinavian
paper published in Chicago. He was ap-
pointed professor of German at Cornell
in 1874 and remained in the college until
1880, when be accepted the same chair
at Columbia.
Prof. Boyesen soon acquired a remark
able facility III the use of the English
language, and his contributions to the
periodicals soon attracted attention. He
became very popular as a writer of both
prose and poetry. He was one of the
founders of the Authors club in New
York. He published a large number of
books, including a history of Norway
and a work on the lives and works of
Schiller and Goethe, several of which
have been translated into other Ian
euages and one or two of which have
bpan dra m1tiZnd.

FORCING THE ISSUE.
onrOe Doctrine will be Lived Up
to in the Venezuelan
Question.

New York, Oct. A special to the
Herald from Washington says that the
great international question Of the hour
is he Venezuelan boundary dispute. Sec
rotary Olney has prepared a dispatch to
Ambassador Bayard which will soon
bring the matter to an issue. This dis
patch is of a most positive and unequiv
cal nature. AS soon as it shall be plac
before the British government it v
raise an issue which can be settled o.
by the retreat of one or the other govern
mentS. The stand taken by the United
States in this dispatch is one which in
wolves the oldest and most sacred tradi-
lions of the government-an enforcement
OF the Monroe doctrine.
Secretary Olney's dispatch is in sub
stance a declaration in the most positive
language that the United States will
never consent to British occupation OF the
disputed territory in Venezuela unless
that nations right thereto is first deter
mined by arbitration.
In polite, but firm and significant words,
Secretary Olney declares it to be the be-
lief of the United States government
that the territorial claims which Great
Britain has set up in Venezuela are i'll
the nature of an attempt to seize territory
on the American continent to which she
has no legal right. The secretary points
out two horns to the dilemma, leaving
Great Britain to choose which it will ac-
cept:
First, if the quarrel with Venezuela
is an ordinary boundary dispute, having
its origin in faulty descriptions, imperfect
surveys or other misunderstanding, a re-
fusal to arbitrate the same is contrary
to the precedents set by Great Britain
herself and contrary to the practice of
civilized nations.
Second, if, on the other hand, as ap-
pears to be the case and as is the belief
of the President of the United States,
the dispute as to the location of a boun-
Diary line is a mere disguise under which
Great Britain is attempting by superior
this is directly violative of the Monroe
doctrine and will never be submitted to
by the United States.

TAPPED THE WIRES.
Scheme to Work n Whole Eastern
Pool Circuit from a Day
ton, O., Hotel.

Dayton, o., Oct. 4.-Last night at the
Phillips house, S. H. Hinckley, alias 3.
H. Howard, and George Hutchins, alias
Gus w. Sanders, were arrested for
overlapping. Their room at the hotel
was near a wire running to a local pool
room, and it is evident that they intend
ed to work the whole Eastern circuit,
including Chicago, Indianapolis. Cleve-
land, Covington, Ky, and other points.
In their possession were found telegraph
Instruments, battery cells, a regular Sc
cret code and other portions of a Wire
%tapper's outfit. The prisoners at first
made a bold bluff, but the evidence was
such that they finally admitted their pur-
pose and said they intended to rake in
$1,000 in this city alone.
