CONMENTS FROM ENGLAND.
Severe Language is Used by the Press oi
 London.

London, Jan. 9.-The News, com menting on the appointment of the Venezuelan commission, says that the nominations will win general respect
 The commissions report cannot fail to be instructive, the News says
 The Post says: "None of the mem- bers of the commission except Justice Brewer and Hon. A, D. White has any claim to occupy the great position as- signed to him, while MT. Frederic F. Coudert, on any principle of fair play and common sense, is disqualified by his public declarations. The position of the gentlemen appointed is in complete harmony with the overbearing language of President Cleveland's Venezuelan message"
 The Standard comments on the ap- pointments in a sarcastic vein. 1t says: Ut would not be for Englishmen to criticise the gentlemen who have con- scented to assist the presidents studies of politicial geography. If their names command the confidence of the Ameri- can people that is all that can be ex- pected or desired, though we shall watch their doing with curiosity and even respect. That will be the begin- ming and end of our interest"
 The Chronci1e says: Tt must be ad- mitted that MT. Cleveland has succeed ed in forming a body that is calculated to command respect

FINANCE OF THE COUNTRY
LARGE NOTES ARE HELD IN THE
 TREdSURY OR IN THE BANKS.

Statement of the Treasurer for November
 Notes Held by the National Banks Near
 the Close of September-Co of
 the Government.
 Washington, Jan. 2.-From official fig ures it would seem that much larger volume than is generally supposed or the total issue of greenbacks is retain cd in the treasury. At the time of the recent stock market furry in New York it was stated that more gold was not Withdrawn because legal tender notes of large denominations could nos be had. The reason for this appears to be chiefly that a very great proportion of these large notes are now held in the treasury cash and that the remainder are held mainly by the banks in the financial centers.
 The treasurer's statement for Novem- Der 50, 1895, shows that of the United States notes (greenbacks) about $103,- 100000 consisted of notes of denomina- tions of $100 and over, while only about $l9,000,o00 of the treasury notes of 1890 consisted of such large denominations On December 31, 1895, the treasury held 5,50l, S20 of United States notes or 'greenbacks" and about $22, ,00O, 900 of treasury notes of 1S9O As most of these notes ill the treasury are those which have been redeemed in gold and as the largest are usually presented for re- den1ption, it is almost certain that the treasury holdings are largely made up of such large denominations.
 About S31, ,000, ,000 of the United States notes in the treasury are held against certificates of deposit, but on December 13, 1895, representatives of national banks in New York showed that their banks held such certificates to the amount of s23 760,OO0, the balance being probably held by other banks in New York and elsewhere. On September 2S, 1895, the national banks in the United States held United States notes and trAasury notes of 1890 to the amount of SS5, ,946, 900 and if their holdings now are about the same then the treasury and the national banks together hold about s231 ,00, 900 of the total issue of these notes
 Assuming that banking institutions other than national in the United States hold $10,000000 of 'greenbacks'' and treasur ynotes. and the amount is prob ably greater than less, then the treas ury and the banks hold about $500 CO., 900 of the total issue of $4S4, 900 900 and hold the largest denominations of these notes.

THE sCHONBURGK LINE.
Unofficial Correspondence Sent to London
 Chronicle.


 London, Jan. "A special reporter of the Daily Chronicle who is now ill Washington cables that he has obtain ed from a source which he is pledged not to reveal the official unpublished correspo spondence exchanged by Great Britain and Venezuela between Novem- Der. 1S40, when Sir Robert Schomburgk was appointed to delimit the frontier of British Guiana, and April, 1842, when England removed the boundary posts set up by Sir Robert Schomburgk. In October 1845, Senor Fortique, VeneZue- Ian minister to Great Britain, wrote to Lord Aberdeen, colonial secretary of state in the cabinet of Sir Robert Peel, referring to Venezuela's proposal to conclude a treaty on the boundaries @~and protesting that before the proposal was answered a sentry-box, carrying a British flag, had been built on the re- public's territory Senor FOrtique again urged that a boundary treaty be enter ed upon. Lord Aberdeen replied that he had received Sir Robert Schom- burgk's report that he had planted boundary posts at certain points in the country he had surveyed, being fully aware that the demarcation so made was merely a preliminary measure It did not appear, however, that Sir Rob ert had left any building. Senor For tioue replied that Sir Robert Schom- burgk had planted at the mouth of the riI Ha had also raised the. British flag with show of force and performed other acts of dominion on Venezuela. Extreme cour- tesy alone prevented Venezuela from forcibly expelling him from the coun- try.
 After some delay Lord Aberdeen re- plied to Senor Fortique confirming his previous statement and adding that much unnecessary inconvenience would result from the removal of the posts, as they would afford the only tangible means by which her majesty's govern- ment could be prepared to tissues the question of boundaries with Venezuela The posts were erected for that express purpose and not as the Venezuelan government appeared to apprehend as
  the part of England. In the same dis patch Lord Aberdeen expressed pleas ure at learning that the governor of Guiana had assured the Venezuelan emissaries that Great Britain had not occupied Point Barima.
 In January, 1S42, Senor FOrtique again wrote to reinsist upon the removal of the posts.
 The Chronicle then quotes from the second note of Lord Salisbury to Sec retary of State OInev the words:
 At the urgent entreaty of the Ven ezuelan government these two posts were afterward removed as stated by MT. Olney. but this concession was made on the distinct understanding that Great Britain did not in any way abandon her claim to that position
 The Chronicle also quotes that the two accounts in which this concession was made. The finst document consists of dispatch in March. 1S42. by Henry Light, governor of Guiana 10 Daniel OLeary. British consul a Caracas. stating the the coionieI secretary had ordered the governor to remove tke landmarks. The other document is a

o'clock one of the patrolmen white
walking opposite Spreckel's Bank,

that instead of a supposed burglar it
was only Mr.. Dunn with his assistants
working overtime on plans for his new

the music furnished by the Govern

last evening is very wrong and entire
ly unjust. 1t says constant playing
of the march Republic of Hawaii"

the evening" Leader Berger gave al
together for the function nine
marches. These included Aloha Oe,
Double Eagle and American airs, with
Republic of Hawaii but once, and
by order at the proper time. \ few
strains of it were heard again as the
band led the First Battalion into the
Drill Shed. 1t was played this time
by request and not as part of the GER
emony of the evening. Besides all
this it is not known that there is any
prejudice against the march or that
it angers or annoys people.
