WAsn1soroS, Nov. l0.-The meet
ing OF the Venezuelan commission to
day was OF more than ordinary inter
est on account Of the significant state
ment in Lord Salisbury's speech last
evening, announcing that the bound
AIRY dispute was practically ended,
All the members OF the commission
wore present, but Justice Brewer
did not remain until the close OF the
meeting. as he had to take his place
on the Supreme Court bench to hear
an argument in the Berliner case.
During the carly part OF the meeting
the address OF Lord Salisbury was
generally discussed, and papers con-
tanning the speech, and comments
upon it, read.
The Venezuelan commission has
authorized the following official state
ment: Tho statement CT Lord Sails
bury reported in the morning papers
makes it probable the boundary dis
pute now pending between Great
Britain and Venezuela will De settled
by arbitration at an early date. Under
these circumstances the commission.
while continuing dehbera-
tons in the preparation and or
derby arrangement Of many valuable
maps. reports ind documents, which
have been procured and used in the
course Of its labors, does not propose
to formulate any decision for the
present Of the matters SUBJECT to Its
examination. 1t will continue its
sessions from time TO time. but with
the hope and ex Expectation that a
friendly and just arrangement OF all
difficulties between .he nations inter-
ested will make any final decision on
ite part unnecessary"
The arbitration Of the Venezuelan
dispute is now a settled fact. All ar
engagements have been completed II
all details Of the arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain are arranged. The general
terms OF the treaty were arranged last
night. and at the same time the terms
wore cabled to London and have been
accepted Tho treaty covers Nene
zuola only, and does not include T.
general treaty Of arbitration for all
future disputes between two great
English speaking nations. Thistreai!
lie TO be arranged later by future ne
gotiations. The Venezuelan arbitra-
ton commission will consist OF tive
arbitrator, two to be named by the
United States and two by Great
Britain. the &c four to select n fifth ar
bitrator. Venezuela will not be
directly represented in the commits
sion.
The term Of occupancy to exempt
the British settlements in the disput-
ed territory from arbitration is fixed
at sixty years. according to additional
correspondence on the subject which
has just been discovered. In other
words the British Government has
agreed to unrestricted arbitration all
territory in dispute with the period
for acquisition Of title by prescription
fixed by agreement by the parties in
advance at sixty years.

Kite flying Ii no longer merely u
a pport in this country. \ number
OF scientific men have toned to the
kite as an economical means OF tal:-
ing meteorological observations when
may prove TO be OF great benefit to
science, by securing m accurate and
constant record OF the con litions in
the atmosphere at attitudes where
observations bave already been taken.
For example. during Il recent lite
ascension ut Blue Hill, a maximum
height OF nearly $500 feet was al
tanned. while Il metcorograph record
was kept OF tho atmospheric con-
ditions for moro than thee hou:s
about n mile from the earth. IL such
records were constantly obtained, the
ecieDce OF ~forccasting the weather
might prove TO be mucl. benefited.
The work Of photographing from
kites has already been tried in this
vicinity with much SUCCESS. This
has led to an interesting experiment
by tho War Department with nm idea
Of utilizing the modern kite for
military purposes. In IN experiment
at Governors Island in New York
harbor last week II large kite was
sent up bearing n dummy soldier. 1t
is understood that the test was Sc
s~uccessful TINT within q few weeks a
real soldier will be sent up in tho
air by G OF one OF these kites, to
show tho feasibility OF substituting
tho modern kite for the war balloon.
Tho use Of wal balloons in Europe
has now become general III tho part
OF the military departments Of tho
Continent. These balloons aro sent
up for the purpose OF keeping watch
upon tho movements OF an opposing
army. Tho test iaade by the United
States War Department, howtycr
seems 70 show TINT kites can he cm-
ployed for the same purpose with
about tho Same Bucccss. 1t ia still
possible that tho modern kite viii

OF taking observations from II con.
adorable altitude, for both as re-
CARDS convenience, aud IA rcga 20
economy, tho kite sccma to bo prefer

The recent agitation of sentiment in favor
Of the wiping out of the locality popularity
known as the Division has called atten-
ton in a marked manner to a most nota-
BILE institution, the objects of which are in
separately linked with these efforts to pur-
fy the city and elevate it's morals. This
is the Florence Crittenton Hope and Help
Mission" now located at 21S Sd street, in
a commodious house that is most admira-
bly, adapted to the purpose to which it has
been recently devoted. This institution is a
combination of long-establshed Washing
ton enterprise and the benevolence Of one
of the foremost mission founders in this
country. Mr.. Charles n. Crittenton, mil
lionaire druggist Of New York, who has
caused the Institution of homes for friend
less and fallen women in twenty-three
American cities.
The local mission was the result of the
formation in 1886 of "The Social Purity
Alliance" formed among some public
spirited and earnest women in this city.
1t was composed of delegations Of three
ladies from ench of the several churches,
appointed by the pastors. The origin Of
