 The members will not be idle, for tn zach has been allotted a particular line of inquiry, which he is expected to report up- on to his fellow commissioners at inter vals. For instance, Mir. White has been charged with the preparation of what may DC likened to an abstract of title, Mir. Gil man has undertaken the preparation of Ill of the maps and charts required, and other members have been called upon to sollect from the library of the department of state and the library of congress all of ;he documents and historical maps and papers bearing upon the Venezuelan boundary question.
 The effort will be to have these inqui- ,ics proceed simultaneously and apace, and it Is felt that by adopting this order much time will be saved, m important consider ation if the commission is not aided by Great Britain and Venezuela.
