VENEZUELAN
Commission Will Continue ITS Work
ThOuEh ArbItrmtI0n is Cerlntn.

Washington Nov. 10.-The Venezuelan
Commission met ao-dSy with oil the
members present. The report of Profess
sor Burr. who has been at The Hague
studying Dutch archives, was received
and the professor was heard on It.
Mr.. Maliet-Prevost, Secretary of the
Commission, made the following state
ment after to-day's session.:
The statements of Lord Salisbury as
reprinted in the morning papers, makes
1t probable that the boundary dispute
now pending between Great Britain
and Venezuela will be settled by a:bitra-
ton at an early day. Under these cir
cumStances. the commission. while con-
,lnuing Its deliberations in the prepara-
tion and orderly arrangement OF many
valuable maps, reprints and documents,
which have been procured and used in
the course of its labo"s, does not propose
to formulate any decision. for the pres
en,, of the matters subject to its exam
inatlon. 1t will continue It's sessions
from time to time, but with the hope
and expectation that friendly and just
settlement of all pending differenciea
between the nitions interested, will
make any final decision on its part ne
ccs;ary."
London, Nov. 10.-The announcement
made by Lord Salisbury in his speech
at the Guild Hall last night of the prac>
tical settlement of the Venezuelan trou-
bic. has been received with expressions
of satisfaction by this afternoons news
papers. The Pail Mall Gazette, in it's
comments, says that additional enthu-
siasm was given TO the satisfaction with
which the Prcmier'S declration was re-
ceived by the presence of Mr.. Bayard,
United States Ambassador, at the ban
quet. THE solution" the paper adds,
"is every way honorable and final and
will naturally strengthen the ties be-
tween the two nations"
&i,,x. i,lyc +lanH
both Lord Salisbury and Secretary OIL
ney are entitled to say that no principle
for which they originally contended has
been sacrificed by them.
The Globe says the amicable and hon
orable settlement of the difficulty is
creditable alike to the United States
and Great Britain.
WHO WILL IT BE?
The st. James Gazette says that the
question as to who is to be the arbitrator
still remains to be settled. If 1t is to be
the United States the so-called settle
mcnt involves a surrender on the part
of Great Britain. as the United States
has been Il party to the dispute and is
not entitled to act as Its judge.

ticle in reference to Mr.. Bayard's ap-
preaching retirement from the post Of
United States Ambassador. in view of
the result of the Presidential election.

Baltimore. Md, Nov. 10.-Hampden is
known as being the seat of the largest
cotton duck mills in the world, barring
none. Its mills and factories employ
over $500 hands. and so per cent. of the
worlds cotton duck is supplied through
this channel yearly. The mills have
been running on only about half time
for some months They resume on full
time to-day.
y meeting OF the stockholders OF the
Baltimore Sugar Refining Company will
be held on Thursday, at which the ques-
tion OF reopen!ng the big plant at Curtis
Bay may be decided. The refinery has
been idle since II was burned. more than
year ago. 1t was rebuilt and it was
expected to start up early IN September,
but the hesitancy in business affairs
brought about by the political campaign
deferred that desirable result. Now
that the election Is over 1t is believed
that the manufacture of sugar will soon
