ENGLAND'S CONTENTION.

Claim to the Disputed Territory in
South America.
Clements Markham, F. r. S., president of
the Royal Geographical Society, contribut-
ed two-column letter to the Times yester-
day, infinitely describing all the cartog-
raphy evidence obtainable in the society's
map room bearing on the disputed bound
aries of Guiana from the year 1910 onward.
He says that by the treaty Of 1914 the
Dutch ceded the portion of Guiana, in
GLIDING the Essequibo basin, to Great
Britain, and that Spain, then the sovereign
of Venezuela, was a party to the treaty.
"As the inheritor from Spain Of that
sovereignty" the letter goes on to say,
"the Venezuelan republic is bound in honor
to adhere to the treaty of 1914, which abro-
gated all previous claims ever made by
Spain, and secured to Great Britain the
sovereignty of the whole of the Essequibo
BASIN"
After detailing Robert Schomburgk's ex-
plorations, Mr.. Markham contends that
the concession of the Yuruari valley, which
was British territory, to Venezuela, shows
that nothing could have been further from
the thoughts of English statesmen than
an infringement of the Monroe doctrine.
He concludes that even if the territory
which Venezuela claims were adjudged not
to belong to Great Brittany 1t does not fol-
low that 1t belongs to Venezuela. Great
Britains right, he claims, rests on dis
covery, on a Dutch possession of three GEN.
turtles, on effective occupationS and on a
treaty. ~

An interesting missionary meeting of the
Laura Pitzer Missionary Circle of the Gen.
trail Presbyterian Church was held last
right In the Sunday school room. The SUBJ
jet considered was China" and the walls
Of the chapel were tastefully decorated
with Chinese flags and curios, and maps
and drawings illustrating various phases
of Chinese customs and life. On an easel
beside the pulpit was a large photograph
of Mr. Hugh White, the missionary of the
Central Church in China, and during the
evening an interesting letter from him was
read by the president of the circle The
missionary committee of the Christian En-
deavor Union assisted in the services, and
brought with them the Chinese umbrella of
state. DR.. W. H. Dobson of the committee
led the meeting, and Miss Mary Folks made
brief address. Mr.. Thomas Barbee and
others of the missionary circle also made
remarks

Texas Democrats Disagreed.

The state democratic executive commit
tee, which convened in AUSTIN, Tex, yes
terday, is, from present indications, about
to lay the foundation for one Of the big
gest party splits ever heard of. The row is
over the matter Of holding one or two
state conventions. The gold men favor
two conventions, one to select delegates to
the national convention and the other to
make state nominations At caucus held
they developed strength of 16 votes out of
a possible 81, which goes to prove that
they have the situation grabbed by a ma
Jority of one vote. Gov. Culberson, ex-
Reagan are working hard with the silver
men for one convention. A vote IS expect
ed today.

CANADA'S LOYALTY.
A Resolution Adopted by the House of

Commons.
resolution introduced by Mr. McNeill
conservative, was unanimously adopted by
the Canadian house of commons yester-
day, declaring Canada's inalienable loyalty
to the British throne and her willingness,
in case of war; to make any sacrifice for
the integrity of the empire.
Speaking of the resolution, Mr.. McNeiI
declared that he had drafted 1t with view
of letting the people of the United States
know just where Canada would stand in
the event of war The people of the re-
public, he said, believed Canadians would
seize the first opportunity of altering their
allegiance from England TO the United
States, and that the waving of the stars
and stripes in place of the union jack would
be hailed with peals of joy from all Cana
dams.
1t was annoying to Canadians that their
feeling should be so msinterpreted and mis-
understood. There was not a constituency
in the country In which an annexation can
didate would have ghost Of chance of
election. If the Americans did not let
Canada work out her own destiny, when
the time comes, Canadians would make it
clear to the world that they would defend
their birthright.
L. D. Davies QiberaD seconded the reso-
luton. He urged. however, the mutual
advantages Of an Anglo-American alliance.
No aggregation of nations, he said, could
ever hope to combat successfully an al
lance Of the greatest empire and the great
est republic that the world had ever seen.
Sir Richard Cartwright QiberaD regretted
the recent outbreak of ill feeling between
Great Britain and the United States. las
Canada is placed" he added, "her future
is clear. She will have to remain hostage
to the United States for Englands good
behavior or else join the United States.
Which it will be the most honorable or the
best course for Canada to pursue, I leave
for Canadians to decide.'
G. E. Foster, leader of the house Of COM
mons, Endorsed the resolutions, as did also
Wilfred Laurier, leader of the liberals. The
motion was carried unanimously.

Washington Alumni Speak the Praises
of Their Alma Mater.
The praises Of old Bowdoin College were
told in story and sung in verse last night at
Pages Hotel. It was the occasion of the
annual banquet Of the Alumni Association
in this city, and the affair was interesting
and enjoyable. After the banquet Chief
Justice Fuller, president of the association,
with some felicitous remarks upon the &C.
casion, called upon ex-Assistant Attorney
General John B. Cotton to act as toast
master. Taking as his theme the Latin
quotation 1.-The present joys of life we
dSubly taste by looking back upon the past"
Mr.. Cotton recalled the absence Of their
former POSTMASTER. Llewellyn Deane who
had been called to the great unknown, and
said he doubted his ability to fill the posi-
ton. It was a pleasure to him, and he was
certain it would be satisfaction to the sons
of old Bowdoin present, to listen to a repre-
sentative from the college of today. He in
troduced Prof. johnson, a professor from
the alma mater, who had come all the way
from down there In Maine to be present
at the banquet.
Prof. Johnson's Address.
Professor Johnson said he had been con-
nected with the college for nearly a quarter
Of century, and had been engaged all that
time in preparing his speech for just such an
occasion as the present one. The college
appreciated the invitation to have a rep
resentative present When he came to Wash

SABBATH DAY OBSERVANCE.
The Subject Before the Northern
PresbyterIan AssembIy.

Saratoga, y. Y, May 22.-The Presby-
terian general assembly began business
promptly this morning at $50 o'clock, ar
ter the usual devotional exercises OF half
an hour. Moderator WithrOw was in the
chair.
The most important matter Of the day
was the announcement of the standing
committees. which he made up last night
in a long conference with the stated and
permanent clerks OF the assembly. DR..
Booth, as retiring moderator, is az the
head of the bills and overtures committee
with DR.. Agnew of Philadelphia as the
second man. DR.. Agnew, on account or
Dr. Booths indisposluon, viii perform
the duties of chairman.
DR.. 3. Reed, the leading candidate Of
the opposition, should stand at the head
OF the judicial committee, the second In
Importance in the assembly, but as some
cases before this committee come from
Dr. Breed's locality, hk is placed at the
mittee
DR.. Montfort, the third man in the CON
test Tor moderator, is named as chair-
man of the judicial committee. DR.. Dav-
les, nomlnator of Dr. WithrOw, is put
down as chairman of the committee on
church policy.
In presenting the report of the Sab
Dath observance committee, Chairman
Worrau referred to the chief perils Of
sunday observance, such as the greed of
gain, which cOmpels thousands against
their will to work on the Lords day; the
dissemination Of theories concerning indi-
yldual liberty and social order, which are
destructive OF our best national traditions. /.
Sunday excursions; Sunday base ball
games; Sunday theaters and Sunday bicy-
Gle pleasure riding, etc, etc. The re-
ports entreats members and all other
persons to conscientiously d!scounte-
nance whatever tends to break down the
distinction between this and other days;
as, for instance, Sunday trading; buying
reading, or in any way supporting sunday
secular newspapers; social entertainments
and VlSltauOns that dissipate serious
thought, and all self-indulgence on the
Lords day that tends to unfit them for
God S worship ana to impOVerish their
spiritual nature: and 1--WE raise our voice
against the desecration of the Sabbath
and call upon our ministers members
and all good citizens to seek to stay off
this great curse"
Dr. Fox of Brooklyn. from the committee
on church tempOralities, reported a re-
commentator TO change the form Of gov
ernment of the Presbyterian church in the
clause relating to deacons.
At present church trustees may be per-
sons not members of the church and in
consequence a conflict some times occurs
between elders and trustees. The proposed
change gives the dil ectiOn and control Of
the church tempOralities to deacOns in
stead of to trustees, and requires that dea-
cons shall be elected from the cOmmuni-
cants of the church.
Rev. DR.. Craven of Philadelphia read
the report of the committee to which was
India relating to the admission in the mis-
sion churches of poygamOus converts
there. The committee recommends that no
act ction be taken ON the overture.
