unpaid board bill at the Metropolitan,

The British residents. or some Of them. of the
Guianas have now put forward their opinions
and desires concerning the Venezuela boundary
dispute. Hitherto they have been represented
rs somewhat apathetic. That did them much
Injustice. The numcrously signed memorial
which they have sent TO the Colonial Secretary
indicates intense and active interest. and con
Stunning desire for the success of the British case
That Is entirely natural The only cause fer
wonder Is that such IN address was not present
ed long ago. Georgetown should surely have
been almost rs much storm centre as Caracas
itself: in fact. more, if all the British contentious
in the case be true.
The memorial has come AZ last. however, and

But 1t is scarcely likely TO prevail In this case.
No doubt the disputed bordcrland Is rich in gold.
