The prompt and satisfactory settle

Mr.. Harrison, the crown surveyor OF
British Guiana, who was placed I'M
der arrest by the Venezuelans on a
charge of encroaching upon their ter
ritOry, was promptly released at the
instance of the American minister at
Caracas, who had received instruc-
lions from the State Department at
Washington. There was no hesita-
ton on the part of the Venezuelan gov
eminent in complying with the minis
ter's request and there was no attempt
The man was simply released and the
incident was closed Commenting
upon this satisfactory outcome of an
affair which, few months ago, would
have threatened the most serious re-
suits, the London Standard, tory

too sanguine to expect that the settle
ment Of the Harrison affair will lead
before long to a general arrangement
of the other questions between Great
Britain and Venezuela that will en-
able us to resume cordial relations with
a state toward which we have only
sentiments of neighborly friendship"
This sentiment will find an echo upon

Mrs. John Jacob Astor wears a skirt
when she rides. SO do other ladies of
fashion. This much must be said for
the boomer however, that it usually
goes with the petticoat but does not ap-

Some women have adopted the practice
of wearing a skirt while riding in the

up in the carrier provided for the pur-
pose by enterprising inventors.
A more convenient arrangement than
this is the new Bygrave skirt, named

Those who contradict everything and
those who assent to everything, oppo-
site as they seem to each other, are alike
in their disloyalty to truth and SIM
plicity. One opposes from the love OF
opposing; neither is actuated by the
pure and unsullied love of truth. Yet
this is the one element which is essen
tial TO all good conversation. No elo-
uuence can compensate for its absence,
no gifts, graces, or sympathles can
make it Superfluous.

Sunday for the purpose Of doing what

sharks reported to have been seen out
side the harbor, says the Pacific Com

launch we'll, preparatory to an all-day's
hunt.
Just outside the harbor unmistak-
able signs in the shape Of several Ans
were noticed projecting above the SUR
fate Of the water, and they made the
soldiers hair bristle with excitement,
A hook baited with q large piece Of
pork and attached to a heavy line was
thrown overheard. There was bite
and pull, and before long q good
sized shark was hauled along and filled
with rife and revolver bullets. This
was excitement enough, but when,
after the line had been thrown over
again, another shark was captured in
the same manner. the men in the
launch could hardly remain in their
places.
The line was cast overheard once
more, and soon there was a tug that
caused q very burning sensation to

who held It. The launch was pulled
here and there by what seemed to be
a monster twice the size Of the others.
This seemed to be proved when the
shark stuck its fin above water. At
this seven or eight bullets pierced the
head Of the monster. and after hard
fight, during which the launch was in

the prize was brought alongside and
