A parliamentary paper has been issued
containing the correspondence between
Great Britain and the United States since
1887 relative to the boundary of British
Guiana.
The correspondence concludes with de-
spatches exchanged by Secretary OF State
Olney and Lord Salisbury. The first ofthese
dispatches informed Lord Salisbury that the
American Commission had been formed, and
that being in no wise an arbitration tribunal,
having had its duty limited to ascertsinIng
the facts. it had suggested to Mr.. Olney
that It would be grateful for such assistance
as could be obtainable through the co-opera-
ton of Great Britain and Venezuela.
Lord Salisbury replied that any Informs
tion at the command OF the Government
upon any subject Of inquiry occupying the
attention of the Government OF the United
States would be readily placed at the dis
posal OF the President.
