Transvaal furnished direct and most
lean dispute. The note of the German
government to Great Britain, request
ing an explanation of Jameson's ex-
pedition in the Beers territory and
protesting against it, he thought would
tend to fortify the arguments Of the
United States in justification of it's
action regarding the Venezuelan
boundary. The conditions of the two
cases are not unlike. The Transvaal
is nominally an independent republic,
and Germany does not claim to main
tain a protectorate over it any moro
than the United States does over Ven
eZuela, yet Germany assumes a right
to interfere to check British aggres-
sions. Nor can the German govern
ment claim that it's own safety is in
any way menaced by any steps which
the English might take against the
Beers; it can only assert a right to
interfere on the ground that it's in
terests are involved, which is thought
by many to be the only tenable ground
upon which this government can base
it's right to be considered a party to
the dispute between Venezuela and a
British dependency. There is no doubt
that proceedings in the Transvaal will
have an interest for this government
which they otherwise would not be-
cause of their possible application to
the Venezuelan boundary correspond

IT'S OWN MASTER.

1t is authoritatively stated, on be-
half of the administration, that the
Venezuelan commission will be abso-
lutte master of its own procedure, fix
ing the time and place of it's meetings
and determining for itself whether or
not it shall visit foreign countries,
what class Of evidence may be taken
into consideration, and how interested
governments may be represented be-
fore the tribunal. This independence
of action is deemed necessary to Sc
cure the commissions finding that de-
gree of weight and respect among other
nations that can be attained only
through a knowledge that the body is
free from any restraint or obligation
to the United States government which
has created it. Our government will
occupy the status Of an exact neutral
in the proceedings. The state depart
ment will lend such assistance as may
be required to facilitate the work of
the commission in procuring transpor-
tation for it on a United States war
ship If that is desired, and in supply
ing any records In its possession that
may be called for. But it will not allow
itself to be placed in the position of
taking sides as to the merits Of the
controversy between Great Britain and
Venezuela; it will not undertake to pre-
sent the Venezuelan case, nor will it
even endeavor to Offset any evidence
that leans towards the British conten-
ton. Therefore the various suggestions
that have been made to the depart
ment by individuals in this country as
to where evidence can be secured have
been ignored Such matter Is regard
ed as proper for the consideration of
the commission, but is not for the state
department. It is pointed out that in
this attitude the department is ex-
actly consistent with it's course in
the past. From the beginning Of the
negotiations with Great Britain touch
ing the Venezuelan boundary the Unit
ed States government has expressly
refrained from committing itself to
recognition Of the Justice Of Venezue-
las claim, and has limited itself strict
ly to the contention that this was prop
er matter for settlement by arbitra-
ton. Moreover. the attitude which the

Ono OF the biggest Institutions in tho

Every Civilized Nation on Earth.

One OF the largest Institutions in Lou

Orchards company. The trade OF the
firm extends not only throughout theN
United States, Canada, Germany,
France, Italy, Hungary and CHER for
eigh countries, but it has 9 number OF
customers both in New Zealand and
Australia.
Eighty years ago there came from
Kentucky to Pike county the late
Judge Stark, then young man fresh
from Old Hickory's New Orleans cam
paign. He started the nursery and
planted the first grated orchard in the
state, having brought the scions on
horseback from Kentucky.
The business has descended from
father to son, and is now conducted by
the third generation. assisted By the
fourth. This firm has more than 1000
travelling solicitors, and employs more
people In its offices than would be nee
essary to run d large manufacturing
concern. The extensive packing-houses
of the company are adjacent to the city,
connected with the railroad by special
tracks. From these packing houses
hundreds of carloads Of trees are
shipped annually. The nursery grounds
embrace a number of farms convenient
to the city, and even extends TO Rock
port, H., where there Is a plant OF
several million trees
The popularity Of the concern is the
establishment of large orchards. These
orchards in "a states aggregate nearly
$4,000 acres, and more than $4,000
trees on the partnership plan. The firm
is also interested in as many more
trees on the cooperative arrangement.
The nurseries have been beneficial not
only to their home, but Missouri owes
no little of her prestige as a fruit
growing region 10 the progress and
work of development Of this firm. The
exhibits of this firm, whenever made,
attract great attention, and do much
to advertise the state. The firm pays
large amounts for new varieties of fruit,
and conducts the largest business of
the kind in Anne, lea, If not in the
world.
Louisiana firms have more travelling
men upon the road for them than travel
out of any other city of the world Of
It's size. This, of course, is largely due
to the large number of men employed
by the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who fur

increasing their force of statesmen daily
and room for more.

WE MAY ARRITRATE.
Lord salissurs's Report shows Salts aceory

Progress.
boNDoN, duly 10. Salisbury has laid
before the house Of lords the papefs
5n. the subject Of arbitration. II is
said the Negotiations between the
United States and Great Britait are
not complete, but advancing anicably
On the smaller question of Venezuela
regarding which the United States
assumed an attitude of friendly pro
lection, the difficulties arose out Of the
fact that Venezuela's claim placed
twosthirds of British Guiana subject
to arbitration. The first thing
necessary was to ascertain the actual
facts in regard to the controversy
from the history Of Venezuela. When
that was fully ascertained by the
commission, in which both countries
had confidence, it was felt that the
diplomatic questions would not be
difficult to adjust But even if they
should be- they will be overcome by
arbitration IT has been impossible to
move faster. owing to the absence of
labor involved was enormous.
In regard to a general system of
arbitration between the United States
and Great Britain, Salisbury said there
would be difficulty in dealing with
cases so large as contained vital issues.
After much discussion with tie United
States on that point, he thought the
tendency of the United States was to
desire rapid summary decision of the
question. The British government
thought the principle of obligatory
arbtrat ton was attended with consid-
cradle hazard. The proper machinery
must first be provided. In recent
years the United States had eyinced q
disposition to take up the causes Of
many South American republics, but
this government had no quarrel with
that disposition. Great Britain had
taken a similar interest in the dispute
regarding the frontiers of Sweden
Holland Belgium and Portugal. 1t
was necessary to guard against an
obligatory system of arbitra ton. For
these reasons he had approached the
question with considerable caution.
n matters Of such supreme Importance
it was necessary to be careful of any
step taken.
Salisbury concluded by saying that
with the consent of the United States
he had pursued the unusual course of
laying the papers on the table while
the negotiations proceeded. This was
done that the intellects on both sides
might apply themselves to the matter
affecting the welfare of the whole
human race in such a singular degree
and especially the good relations with
us, with whom it was the desire of the
government to be on the frlendliest
terms Salisburys remarks were
heartily cheered.
