No Decision Has Yet Been Reached in
the Boundary Dispute.
Washington, March 21.-Mr. Malet
Provost. secretary of the Venezuelan
Commission, to-day authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
During the past week a report be-
came current to the effect that the
commission had reached decision with
reference to the boundary question
favorable to Venezuela. This having
been denied, the report has been circu-
lated in another form and it is now as
serted that while the commission, as
body, has reached no such conclu-
sion, the commission individually en-
tertain the views referred to-
1T must be evident to all persons
that so long as anything remains to be
examined and considered, the commits
sioners are not in a position to form
an opinion respecting the merits of the
controversy. As a matter of fact
neither the commission nor the indi-
vidual commissioners are as yet in
possession of all the evidence.
"The papers presented by Venezuela
are but part of what has been
promised. The Blue Book of the
British government, while remarkably
full and detailed, does not include all
the documents which may be adduced
in support of its contentious. The
commission has not and will not limit
itself to the consideration Of what
those two governments may present.
1t has been engaged upon independent
lines of inquiry and will continue to
follow those lines until all it's sources
of information shall have been eX-
hausted. Then, and not until then,
will it be in a position to form any
opinion or TO make any report"
NEW EVIDENCE RECEIVED.
Washington, March 21.-The last
mail from La Guayra. just arrived in
this city, contains the long expected
addition to the case of Venezuela as
it Will be laid before the commission,
The work was undertaken at Caracas
by volunteer commission whose ser
vices were accepted by the Venezuelan
government. IL prepared all of the
material accessible ia Venezuela bear
ing upon the boundary dispute The
matter SO far collected was dispatched
promptly by the home government to
it's minister here, Senor Andrade, and
while the documents themselves are
now in New York the advance mail
has brought to Washington complete
list of the papers comprised in the first
instalIment. There are thirty-two cop
les of original manuscript records in
the lot, but these, after all, are of sec
ondary Importance in comparison with
the large number of charts and maps
that have been gathered to sustain the
Venezuela case. In this first lot Of
matter there are no less than sixty
such maps, and IN addition there are
references to almost twice as many
additional charts, that may be readily
Obtained This store of material will
be turned over to the Venezuelan COM
mission as soon as it can be put in
order.

BRYAN on immortality,

$T$ At the request Of an esteemed cores
pondant the tribute Of Bryan to the i'm
mortality Of the soul is reproduced below
sIt constitutes part Of his enlogy on the
death of the Hon. George W. Houk, OF
Dayton, Ohio, one Of his colleagues, and
is as follows:
\ IF the Father deigns to touch with di-
vine power the cold and pulseless heart
of the buried acorn, and make it break
forth from it's prison walls, will He leave
neglected the soul of man, who was
made III the image Of the Creator? II
He stoops to give to the rose bush, whose
wittered blossoms float upon the autumn
breeze, the sweet assurance of another
springtinle, will He withhold the words of
hope from the souls of men when the
frosts Of winter come? If matter, mute
ard ina1nimate, though changed by the
forces of nature into g multitude of forms,
can ever Gle, will the spirit OF man suffer
'annihiliation after it has paid brief visit,
like a royal guest, to this tenement OF
clay?
Rather let us beIiave that He who in
His apparant prodigaEity wastes not the
raindrop, the blade Of grass, or the even
ing signing zephyr, but makes them al.
to carry out His eternal plans, has given
Immortality to the mortal and gathered
TO himself the generous spirit of our

LOCKED UP FROM HIS LOVE

rlrs. McGrath Is Not Going to Let a
Son OH Hers Marry flcGlynn.
New York Journal: In the McGiynn-
McGrath trouble, at Williamsburg, it is
Romeo who is imprisoned, instead OF
Juliet. A little study Of Mrs. McGrath
shows the reason OF this.
Mrs. McGrath is tail Mrs. McGrath
is broad. Her voice is deep, and as she
stood in the doorway the other after
nooli, sleeves up to her elbows, arms
akimhc, her force of character was re-
allied as she said:
/ NOW. don't YOU ask any more qnes-
| tions. Edward McGrath is my son, and
/ while ne is under my roof ! shall pro-
tect him. No Katie McGlynn for him;
! rot as long aus / can keep him locked up
in his room .G
Then Mrs McGrath shut the door The
way she shut it, args,eS her a forceful
woman, too.
! For two days Edward has been locked
UP in his room The ne.ghburs say (and
| the reighborh ood is ail worked UP over
! The afTair) that Ed ward went over to Fa-
! ther CroWley's house Tuesday night with
! Katie aud was waiting at the stOop, when
| Mrs. McGrath came along. In another
moment the young man was led up the
avenue, the maternal fist attached to the
| filiaa right ear Since then Edward hasn't
appeared at William Dermody's saloon,
| just across the corner, where ne works.
| Katie Mciziynn is really q beauty
Dress her for the part ana she would
attract attention at q Patria1 CHS bail.
She has a pretty figure, curly brown hair,
with a tinge of red in it when in the
ls~.1,t
ways yivaciuus. She is 1S--oJd enough
on her side. too-except Edward IIe
| is Gagged in his room.
| The rear OF the McGEynn house faces
the front OF the McGiath house. All day
! long Edward sits near the window, and
when he feels sure his mother ism t
around, up goes the window shade. An
other one goes up in Katie's house, ana
! loving glances, smiles and kisses pass
! back and forth. Then the tears fade
(! from Kat:e's blue eyes. Then Edward
! fcrgets his stern mother, till after
awhile he hears q footstep on the STAIR
/ way. :
| Down go the shades, and when abe
! enters Edward is in chair by the closet,
reading the Prisoner of Zenda.''
| Saturday afternoon Edwards window
e,s,.s dark ;ill the long hours. The neigh

transferred to the cellar. Others said he
