NO INVASION.
British Troops Have Not Entered
Venezuelan TerPitory.

Washington, June 2O.-Secfetafy Oh
ney and Minister Andrade, of Ver,ezuela,
are still officially Ignorant OF the re-
ported Invasion OF British Guiana by
Venezuelan police. The matter Is one
between Great Britain and Venezuela,
and this country has no interest in the
case except in so far as II Involves the
boundary dispute which the Venezue-
Ian Commission Is now Investigating.
The denial of the Foreign Office that
there had been any conflict or in fact
any trouble whatever In the disputed
teraNory between Venezuelan police
and British subjects, seems to dispose OF
the latest phase of the maItter and the
negotiations now proceeding towards an
arbitration agreement between Great
Britain and the United States will not be
interrupted.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Am
basHador, had an interview this morn
Ing with Secretary Olney. Sir Julian has
Informed MIR. Andrade that he will re-
ceive any proposal concerning the boun-
dairy dispute which Venezuela may de-
sire to make the British Government
1t is probable that SOME agreement Will
be reached by Sir Julian and Mr.. Olney
in short time, and their conference
to-day probably had reference to that
subject. The negotiations toward an
understanding between Great Britain
and the United States on, khe subject of
the arbitration Of all disputes in which
the two countries may be involved, are
understood to be progressing favora bly,
but what effect such an agreement will
have on the Venezuelan boundary Is q
matter of conjecture

A STORE BURGLARIZED
Lowenherg, PInCuS & Gus Establishment
Broken Into This Morning.
THE THIEF ENTERED BY THE BACK DOOR
All He Had to DO Was TO Break
the ssInss and Jerk Out tho Bar
which stretched Across : THIS
Building Was the Scene of IL Big
burglary Eighteen Years Ago.

About 80 o'clock this morning Officer
w. Q. Wiliia msoT, in making his rounds,
discovered that the back door to the
boot and shoe establishment of Lowen-
berg, Pincus 6 Co, No. SO Water street,
had been broken open by some person
or persons, and evidently considerable
property stolen.
1t took but glance to show how the
deed was done. The back door. which
opens on an alley running into Com
merce street, was fastened simply with
n bar. The upper portion of it is glass
protected by vertical iron rods. The bur-
glar had smashed this glass on either
side of the latch, reached hts hand in
and taken the cross bar from its socket.
1t was as easy as could be possibly con-
ceived. and required but a moment
What was done after the entrance was
effected could not be definitely ascer-
tanned. The crime had evidently been
done while the relief was being changed
On the floor near the door was found a
box of shoes open with one shoe out
The thief seems to have been trying
them on, and to have become frightened
and fled.
About 2 O'Clock Officer Williamson
found an odd shoe and four empty boxes
behind some empty barrels in the nlley.
Nj. Lowenberg came down a little after
o'clock and stated that 1t was impossi-
BILE for him to tell how many shoes were
taken. He did not think they amounted
10 over dozen pair. however. Mr.. Low
enberg also discovered that his office
coat had been stolen. The vest was un-
touched.
Officers Taylor and Joynes arrived,
and presently sent q colored boy who
loafed around that way up after Mr.
Lowenberg. AS the boy started out of
the alley on q dead run to execute his
mission, two more policemen, hastily en-
route from the police station, put in an
appearance. and taking him for the bur-
glar, held him up with n Halt" which
he quickly obeyed. throwing up his
hands and trembling as though In fear
of instant death He was carried to
the store. where the officers identified
him as the boy they had just sent away
He was thereupon allowed TO go.
BY a strange coincidence, this is the
same building that was the scene some
eighteen years ago of one of the boldest
and most daring burglarea of tina; pc
riod. Police Officer Bean was arrested
as the principal, convicted, and sent 10
the penitenaafy for the crime. He had
two contede.htes, who We're also con
Vic;ed.

REPUBLICANS AND SILVER.

Arizona Populist: We desire to serve notice on the whole world that when the goldbug managers of the rotten old goldbug Republican party induced Ariona's representative to de- clare that the people of Arizona were indifferent as to the outcome of the issue of free coinage of silver he lied, and he knew he was lying.
 So far as Mir. Murphy is con- cerned we shall permit him to reply to the above charge flor himself; but so far as the Republican party of Ari- zona is concerned we shall take issue with The Populist.
 The Republican is as good a friend of silver as The Populist, and the Re- publican party of Arizona just as strong, just as earnest, just as out spoken for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 as the Populist party of the territory. To hold a whole party responsible for statements made iby an individual is entirely absurd The Republican has no apology to of fer for MT. Murphy's views; but when the party is charged with being taint- ed with goldbugism we resent it.
 The record of the Republican party of Arizona on the silver uuastion is clean and it will continue to be kept clean. The Republican party is no more responsible for MT. Murphy than the Democrats and the Populists, who helped to elect him; and they have no right now to pretend that he repre- sents the views of Arizona RepubI- cans
 After all it is a mistake that is not hard to rectify. We assert that the Republicans, Democrats and Populists of Arizona are all solid for silver and with such condition existing it should not be difficult to send a silver man to congress to represent the ter ritory. B.. s-

Henry M. Stanley, who has been making careful study of the subject, publishes report that shows how Europe is slicing up the countries of Africa. He says that within the last ten years France has acquired of Equa- torial Africa about 100000 square miles; Germany, 100000 square miles; Italy, 547,000 square miles; and Portu- gal has now a defined territory extend ing over 710,O00 square miles. France, moreover, has been active farther north, in the Sahara and in west Af- rica, and claims rights over 1,60O, ,OOO square miles; while Germany, in south west Africa and the Cameroons, asserts her rule over 54,000 square miles," If it had not been for the policy of the United States as announced by Monroe those same countries would now be holding slices of the American conti- nent, all secured within the past ten years, of about the size they now hold in Africa. In other words, Africa made a mistake in failing to adopt a Monroe doctrine early in the day.
