SIR EDWARD CLARKE'S SPEECH
ON THE VENEZUELAN BOUN-
DAIRY DISPUTE.
SAYS ENGlANDS CLAIMS IRE UNJUST
And the American Boundary Commission
is Bound to Decide Against Sails
bury's ontentions-Caustic Com
ments From the Press.

London, Oct. 16.-A great sensation has
been caused in the political world by the
speech of Sir Edward Clarke, conserva-
tive member of parliament, and who was
solicitor general in Lord Salisbury's pre-
vious ministry, in which he said, speak
ing of the Venezuelan question, that the
decision of the American boundary COM
mission would be against England, not
because it was Il hostile commission, but
because he believed no honest and impair
tial arbitrator or commission could de-
eide in favor of England's claims upon
the evidence
Sir Edwards assertion is widely COM
mented on in all political circles and in
the press.
The Daily News OiberaD, in addition
to an editorial on the subject, devotes two
columns with map, giving the tracts and
explanation of the mystery of the alleged
Cooks map of the Schomburgk line and
asks what's the matter with Sir Edward
Clarke. His statements are astounding
and indicate an amazing ignorance of the
English blue book referring to the Vene-
zuelan case.
The Daily News says it supposes that
Sir Edward Clarke is infected with the
dangerous disease of inverted jingoism.
1.-The panic stricken talk of Lord Rose
berry is only calculated to reanimate the
American lingo and to make concilia-
ton and compromise harder the paper
adds.
The Graphic says in an editorial:
Lord Salisbury's task is not made
easier by such speeches. The successive
foreign ministers who have tried to set
tie the Venezuelan trouble ought to feel
properly snubbed."
The Morning Post says editorially
But for Sir Edward Clarke's influence
as lawyer and a politician, the whole
thing might be dismissed as unworthy of
consideration. 1t is impossible to imagine
how he could have fallen into an evident
trap
The Post advises Sir Edward to now
study the English side of the case.

Tale of wild West Lawlessness
From Rio Puerco, N. NJ


ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Oct. O.
A message received at 8:15 tonight stat
ed that the east-bound passenger train
was being held up at Rio Puerco bridge,
about thirty miles from this city. AS
soon as the train pulled out Of the sta
ton 1t was halted by several masked
men and the express messenger com
manded to open the doors Of his car.
A. general fusillade Of shots kept the
passengers terrorized.
Late accounts, although meager. saw
the messenger is still locked in, but a
number Of shots have been fired into
the car The Atlantic & Pacific com
pany will send special train Of Of
f1cers to the scene at once. 1t is
learned that Cade Selvy, a special Sc
cret service officer of the railroad, is OH
the held-up train.
At 1910 o'clock message was re-
ceived from Rio Puerco, stating that
one of the bandits, Cole Young, is dead.
When the robbers jumped on the engine
and compelled Engineer Ross and his
fireman to uncouple the engine and ex-
press car from the train, Deputy United
States Marshal Loomis, who was re-
turning from the West, took in the sit
uation and fired at the first man, killing
Young. The robbers then commenced
shooting and shot a lantern from the
hands of brakeman. Rumors here
are that several others were shot, but
this is not yet confirmed.
Rio Puerco is only a watering station
with telegraph Office in charge of the
pump man. The robbers, after cutting
the engine and express car from the
train, ran them to the bridge several
hundred yards away. The pump man
reported having heard an explosion and
believes the robbers have burned up ali
excursion car. Engineer Ross is off
the engine. guarded by a robber.
