THERE WILL BE ARBITRATION
The Venezuela Controversy
 Has Reached an End.
Cessation of Work by the United States Bounuary Commission Shows That An Arbitration Treaty Is About Concluded.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Ihe belief expressed last night by Lord Salisbury that the Venezuela controversy has come to an end received complete con firmation on this side of the Atlantic today in an official announcement by the Venezuelan boundary commission, that for the present at least it would abandon the further prosecution of its task of finding the true divisional line between Venezuela and British Guiana and would make no report thereon.
 The announcement was worded with saving clause evidently inserted as d precaution against a possible hitch at the last moment on some mater of details. D.s official declaration makes it clear that the treaty of arbitration is nearly completed or at least has reached such a stage that an attemL. i by an independent United States com | mission to locate the boundary line would be an assumption of the very | task thalt the arbitration commission must undertake and therefore would be discourteous and in violation of diplo- maitic ethics.
 | It does not follow that all the work accomplished by the United S ates com mission in the collection of evidence touching the boundary will go for noth- ing. On the contrary, this matter may be used to great advantage by the agent or agents selected to represent the claims of the governments of Great Britain and Venazueia before the arbl- tration commission.
 In official circles here the opinion is expressed that the appointment of the
 Venezuelan commission by the presi
 dent has had a marked influence in de ermining the British government to come to an understanding with Vene- zuela> In view of t1.>5ore of Lord Salisbury's reply to the first repre- sentations made by Secretary Olney on the subject it is plain that some strong agency has been at work in the British
 foreign office and there is no doubt here that the existing situation is due to the commissions work. Salisbury tried to bluff the United States and failing, was quick to accept the opinion prevailing in Great Britain that con-
 sessions should be made rather thar to have trouble with the United States

The evidence disclosed the fact that the murderer and the woman had previ- ously been lovers, but that the woman had a short time before the killing re- i1urned to her husband, and that Gar cia was endeavoring to effect a re- newal of their former relations, failing in which he killed the woman.

LABBY'S LATEST.
What Truths Editor Has to Say About
 Our Politics, and Mrs. Castle.

LONDON, Nov. 10.-Commenting on the recent election in the United States, Henry Labouchere, in Truth, says: "If Mr. Bryan had been wise he would have gone in for bimetallism if it pleased him, but he could have left the ratio indefinite. His ratio meant the right of any one to repudiate half his obligations without this bettering any one in the future But the wictors will do we'll to realize that apart from bi- metallism there is a strong growing feeling in America against huge ac- cumulations of capital in the hands of individuals, obtained by means of trusts which are really monopolies, and gambling with cogged dice in railroads.
 "A greedy plutocracy, supported by an armed force, cannot hold its own against the rights and well being of all. I am in no wise certain that had been an American, should not have voted the Democratic ticket, had it not been that I regard all tampering g with the coinage of a country injurious to all and it does not strike me that Mr. Bryan is up to ldhe presidential mark. ,"
 Labouohere devotes a page and a half uf Truth to the Castles case, during which he says: q learn that some magistrates favored heavy sentence and a few were for releasing the pris- oner. Had she been released on. the ground of mental inirmity she could not have been the gainer, for she
 would have been sent to a criminal lunatic asylum according to the law since 1883. The sentence seems to me light considering the circumstances. l do not believe in kleptomania. for it only seems to atback the Gich, and if it really exists, am sure the punishment of every person stealing while suffer-
 ing therefrom would have a very de terrent effect upon its spreading"
 MT. Labouchere, after a sarcastic ref erence to the offense and the acquittal of another wealthy woman for stealing
 hotel candlesticks, observed: 'On the
 morning of Mrs. Castles sentence a lseamstress and a goveaness were sen fenced at the same session to nine and
 six months hard labor for stealing ( fur necklet. and neither had ever beer
 previously convicted. The governess
 tainted at the sentence No medica
 experts testified that they were klep tomaniacs. No eminent council sug
 gested that they would suffer in health , by confinement. No one pitied then : and no one signed petition to tht home secretary to shorten their sen
 tences. What matteds how a poor fainting. friendless governess or half
 starved seamstress suffers? Give then hard labor and plenty of it! What i their health is injured? Let them die Let Mrs. Castle out of prison, Si
 Matthew White Ridley. She ha 3 moved in the best circles and she ha l had no need to steal, but do not re : duce the sentence of the seamstress an ! the governess by a single day. Th = best circles know them not. They ar S poor and helpless, which, in the opin f ion of all self-respecting persors, is i l. itself a crime.''

SOLITUDE AND SILENCE
4 Peculiar Charm Possessed by souti
African Scenery.

The other peculiar charm which
South African scenery possesses is that
Of primeval solitude and silence. Il
is a charm which is differently felt By
different minds. There are many who
find the presence Of what Homer calls
the rich works of men" essential to
the perfection Of a landscape. Guilt
waited fields, gardens and orchards,
farm houses dotted here and there, in
dications in one form or another Of hu'
man life and labor, do not merely give
a greater variety 70 every prospect, but
also impart "a element which evokes
the sense of sympathy with our fellow
men, aud excites g whole group of emo
tons which the contemplation Of ma
ture, taken by itself, does not arouse.
No one is insensible 10 these things
and some find little delight in any scene
from which they are absent Yet there
are other minds to which there is some
thing specially solemn and impressive
In the untouched and primitive simple
ity Of q country which stands now Just
as it came from the hands OF the Crea-
tor. The self-sufHcientness of nature
the insignificance OF nan, the mystery
Of q universe which does not exist. as
our ancestors fondly thought, for The
sake of man, but for other purposes
hidden from US and forever undiscover,
eble-these things are more fully re,
Elized and more deeply felt when one
traverses an immense wilderness which
seems to have known no change since
the remote ages when hill aud plain ane
valley were nodded into the forms We
see to-day.
Feelings OF this kind powerfully az

Africa They affect him in the karroo.
where the slender line OF rails, along
which the train creeps al day and all
night across the long stretches OF
brown desert and under the crests Of

and barren solitude interposed between
