It is announced by Bradstreet's in
advices from Washington that the re-
port of the Venezuelan commission on
the British-Venezuela boundary line
dispute will be made to the president
shortly before congress convenes in
December. It was expected that the
report might be ready by Nov l, but
complications in connection with the
work in Holland have caused delay.
The members Of the commission have
been at work on different branches Of
the subject all summer, with a view to
reaching a decision as early as pos
sible. Justice Brewer, the chairman
of the commission, had called q meet
ing of the commission for October 8,
and It was thought that at that meet
ing all the data could be submitted and
a decision reached. A delay has, how
ever, occurred incident to the work of
Professor Baer, who has been ransack-
ing the Dutch archives in Holland.
His. investigation led him to London.
Justice Brewer has now received a
cablegram from him saying that his
work in London has been completed
and that he will return to Holland.
With the submission of the re-
port of the commission its functions
will come to an end. No hint as to
the nature of the report is forthcom-
ing.

ton Setting Apart Day.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The President
yesterday issued the following Thanks
giving proclamation:
''By the President of the United
States: The people of the United
States should never be unmindful OF
the gratitude they owe the God of ma
tions for His watchful care which has
shielded them from disaster and
pointed out to them the way of peace
and happiness. Nor should they ever
refuse to acknowledge with contrite
hearts their proneness to turn away
from Gods teachings and to follow
with sinful pride after their own de-
vices.
Son that day let all our people fore
go their usual work and occupation,
and assembled in their accustomed
places of worship, let them with one
accord render thanks to the ruler of
the universe for our preservation as a
nation and our deliverance from every
threatened danger; for the peace tina
has dwelt within our boundaries; for
our defense against disease and pesti-
lence during the year that has passed;
for the plenteous rewards that have
followed the labors of our husband
men, and for all the other blessings
that have been vouchsafed for us.
And let us, through the mediation
of Him who has taught us how to pray,
implore the forgiveness of our sins and
continuation of heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day of
thanksgiving the poor and needy and
by deeds of charity let our offerings of
praise be made more acceptable in the
sight of the Lord
