penter living at 2o7 Bertesu avenue, Lake

lily was usually awake early. He broke Q

were: Richard Klattke; Kate Klattke,

Essiquibo Valley Coded by tho Dutch to
Comment Of the London Times-Explorer
Stanley an Advocate Of the American
Position-Olney's Most Vigorous Express
sions Indorsed-Cuban News.
LONDON, Feb. 6.-Clements Markham,
E. r S., president Of the Royal Geograph-
ical society, contributes two-column let
ger to The Times this morning infinitely
describing all the photographic evidence
obtainable in the society's map room
bearing ON the disputed boundaries Of
Guiana from the year 1870 onward. He
says that by the treaty of 1914 the Dutch
celed a portion Of Guiana including the
Essiquibo basin to Great Britain, and
that Spain, then tho sovereign of Venezu-
ella, was party to the treaty. Gas the
inhcritor from Spain Of that sovereign
ty," the letter gees on to say, 1.-THE Vene-
zuelan republic is bound in honor to ad-
here to the treaty OF 1914, which abro.
gated all previous claims ever made by
Spain and secured to Great Britain the
sovereignty of the whole Of the Essi-
quibo BASIN"
Basis Of Britain's Claims.
After then detailing Schomburgk's ex-
plorations Markham contends that the
concession Of the Yuruari valley, which
was British territory, to Venezuela shows
that nothing could have been further
from the thoughts of English statesmen
than an infringement Of the Monroe doc
trine. He concludes that even If the terri
tory which Venezuela claims wero ad-
Judged not to belong to Great Britain, 1t
does not follow that it belongs to Venez-
uela. Great Britain's right, he claims,
rests on discovery, on a Dutch possession
Of three centuries, on effective occupation
and on treaty.
Times Comment on tho Above.
The Times remarks in an editorial on
the above letter: "Mr. Markham is a
high authority and his conclusions are in
substance identical with those reached by
ex-Chicf Justice Daily, of New York. II
is not easy to see how his arguments can
be set aside. That we should be willing
to submit any part Of such controversy
to arbitration Is a signal testimony to the
prevailing desire among us to prevent the
peace being endangered by perposter

expressing disappointment that despite
the expressions Of good will in Americs

Of congress has yet made any public I'D
vance toward an amicable arrangement
