Lord Salisbury's announcement at the
Lord Mayors banquet last right in Lon
don that the Venezuelan dispute lad been
practically settled may he taken as a
cheering indication that the British premier
| has at last found an honorable way to get
out of awkward Predicament The
American contention was that the entire
Question of territorial rights should be sub
mitted to final and conclusive arbitration
regardless of English claims based upon
survey that have never been recognized
by Fenexuela or the United States. The
English contention was for limited arbi-
traticn that excluded practically all of the
territory fairly in dispute. From the
American State Department came a sug-
&c stion that the law of private title should
be applied tc the British colonies in the
questioned region. and Lord Salisbury, it
now seems has accepted this solution of his
embarrassing problem. The question of the
| real victor In this controversy depends upon
the determination of the period Of limita ton
beyond which the colonial rights are 10 be
regarded as secure. and It's practical APP
plication in the present dispute. The COM
mon law period of uninterrupted hostile
possession which gives title is twenty years.
The London newspapers commenting today
OH the case make estimates of the period
OF limitations agreed upon ranging from
twelve to fifty years. The test of twenty
or thirty years of occupation would safely
throw into the court Of arbitra ton the gold
fields and the ot;itr valuable ground that
las recently tempted the English settlers
feyoEd what both Venezuela and tee
United States consider to be the historic
ard natural boundary between Venezuela
and British Guiana.
If the practical effect of the agreement
concerning the removal from arbitration of
English settlement of long standing is to
subject to arbitration substantially the
whole of the disputed territory. for the
reason tina: all Of the extensive settlements
have been made within the last twenty
years. then the real victory is with the
American contention: and the compromise
is merely one in name. The indications are
that this is the meaning and practical ef-
feet of the agreement.

The Board of Trade.

The BCarti of Trade has laid out a COM
prehensivc progrs m for work during the
brief session of Congress soon to open. but
with a continuation of the interest and
energy indicated last night at the annual
meeting muc:l can be acccmpi-s shed. The
annual meeting was a fitting starter for
such a campaign. Ii showed that the pub
lie interest in this me ms of pressing the
local needs Is undated. and that the mem
bers of tire Board have come to better
understanding than ever of the most cffec
tive methods of wholesome agitation. Each
year adds to this valuable experience. and
eidens the personal acquaintance of the
citizens with the national legislators. The
list of subjects for particularly earnest
deavor at the coming session is we'll chosen

Of municipal conditions on the most urgent

these matters is Indicative of the compre-
tensive grasp of the situation that he and
his associates have secured. The develop
rnent of the sewer system, the establish
nent of a modern and effective method Of
sewage disposal. the increase and purifica-
ion of the water supply, the reclamation of
the Eastern Branch flats. the abolition of
grade crossings and the establishment of
additional park fac.nties-ail these relate
directly 10 the betterment of tine COM
munity's health and the elimination of
dangerous conditions Hence they are of
prime consequence and worthy of the mos;
diligent effort on the part of citizens AMI
OF considerable attention from Congress.
They can b. taken separately or all together
a one grand project for the modern;1ation
of the nations capital but in either view
they are all essential and the Beard of
Trade is wise IN pressing them with equal
zeal. Other demands upon the time and
energy of the citizens in this direction are
quite as Urgent-such as the project for 4
municipal building. the development of the
flee public library, the encouragement of
local manufactures and of capitalists to es-
tablish themselves here, and the erection of
several sorely-Heeded bridges. There are
many other enterprises that are of minor

Of course, on the cutting. If
the edges are sharp, you may
depend upon it that the quail
ity is good.

name sells it. Our stock in
this line is entirely from the
Dorflinger factory - other
dealers think it is the best,
the buyers think it the best,
then why should not we?
Other makes may be as good,
they are certainly no better.
Cut glass has been looked
upon as essentially a luxury
of the wealthy class, but our

ROLL THE PIGSKIN
Arrangements Completed
for New Years Game.
Teams Will be Town Boys and a
Combination of Punahous and
First Regiments.

Arrangements have been completed
for a football game to take place on
the afternoon of New Years Day be-
tween the Town Team, which carried
off last seasons championship, and a
com bination team, to be chosen from
the ranks of the Punahous and First
Regiments. 1t can we'll be seen what
an interesting contest will result with
two such teams in the field.
The Town Team won the champion
ship from the Punahous by just one
touchdown, or a score of four points, in
the most clseIy contested and evenly
matched game that has ever been
played on Hawaiian SOIL
Now that the Punahous and First
Regiments are to pick out their strong
est men for a team to buck against
the Town boys, some pretty hard guess
ing will have to be done to pick the
winner of the New Years game.
There is another good feature about
the choice of teams as arranged by the
football men, and that lies in the fact
that there will be a division of sympa-
thy on the part of the spectators, which
is always the life or a contest on the
field of athletic. Had the football men
followed their first inclination of
choosing two teams from the ranks of
the three teams, it can easily be seen
that the interest in a game resulting
from such combination would be very
small indeed simply from such mix
ture.
AS it stands now, it will be either
yell for the scarlet and white or the
buff and blue and the First Regiment.
Yesterday afternoon the football
boys got out on the Makiki Baseball
Grounds for practice, and will continue
to do SO every af-er1CGn, Sunday eX
cepted until New Years Day.
An effort is being made to get both
the Hawaiian and the Hawaiian Ma
tional Bands to play on the grounds
throughout the game, and indeed, there
is no reason why they shouldn't, since
everybody will be on the Makiki Base
ball Grounds on the afternoon of New
Years Day, and by playing there a good
chance is afforded to please large
of people.
What with a rousing football game
and plenty of good music to help roll
the pigskin along, there is no reason
why New Years Day should not be a
very happy one.
