The Correspondence.

The two notes passing Letween Secretary
Olney and Lord Salisbury which narrowed
down to an agreement the only important
issue remaining to be decided, namely, that
OF the disposition OF British vested rights
through settlement, bear date OF Jnly last
and are as follows:
Lord Salisbury to Sir Julian Paunce-
fOtc.
Foreign Office, July Q. 1996-Sir: L have
to acknowledge your excellency's dispatch
No. 200, of 10th June, lnclosing a note from
Mr.. Olney, In which he explains tho reasons
that iEduce the government OF the United
States to withhold their assent from the pro-
possls with respect to the Venezuelan fror-
tier contained In my dispatch No. 100, OF the
22d May.
The arguments by which Mr.. Olney sup
ports this view will receive the careful con-
sideration of her Majesty's government
am not writing to you for the purpose OF
discussing them. My object in addressing
your excelIency Is to point out tnat IN mat
ter Of some importance Mr.. Onoy, owing,
doubtless, to the idadequacy OF my own ex-
PLANTATION, has Inexperienced the purport
Of the proposal which l had the honor TO
make to him He states that "It appears to
be fundamental condition that the bound
ary line, decided to be the true one by the
arbitrators, shall not operate upon territory
bona flde occupied by British subject
shall be detected in every such case SO as
to make such territory part OF British Gu
lana"
This was not the intention OF my proposals
and the language of my dispatch Of 22d May
does not, think, fairly bear this construc-
ton. proposed that ''the tribunal should
not have power to include such districts as
the territory of Venezuela but l did not
propose that they should necessarily be as
sumed without further proof to be part OF
British Guiana. only stipulated that the
ownership Of them was not to be decided by
the tribunal, which In our judgment, was
inadequate for this purpose. though 1t was

NO. so.

ADEQUATE for the assignment OF tho unsettled
distrlcts The settled districts, shown to be
in dispute by the inquiries OF the commission
were to be disposed of by subsequent nego-
tiation. The claim OF Venezuela Is so far-
reaching that it brings into question Interests
and rights which cannot properly bo disposed
OF by an unrestricted arbitration. 1t extends
az far as the Essequibo. 1t covers two-thirds
of the colony of British Guiana. 1t I'M
peaches titles which have been unquestioneo
for many generations These districts must
be treated separately. and until further In
1uiry has thrown more light upon the mat
ter it is only by reserving the settled dis
tricts generally that this can be done
The view OF her Majestys government Is
that where the matter in issue is OF great
Importance and involves rights which belong
to considerable population and are deeply
cherished by them special precautions
ayulusr -au,- rniscarIiayo of ju=tivo arc re-
quired, of which l have indicated the gen
eral character in this correspondence, out
which are not required where title TO un-
occupied territory is alone in issue. 1t Is Tor
this reason that her Majesty's government
proposed to accept these districts from the
Jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal, though
it could deal adequately with the disputed
claims to territory that is not occupied But
they did not intend by that stipulation 10
ask the government of the United States 10
PREJUDICE any questions which has been
raised, or might be raised, with respect to
the ownership Of settled districts. This part
of the subject, confessedly the most difficult
part. would have been reserved for separate
examination
should wish you to offer this explanation
to Mr.. Olney when you have an opportunity
and, If he desires 1t, give him acopy OF this
dispatch. l will reserve for another ocea-
sion the observations which, after consider
alton, may have to make in reply to the
general argument of his note

WHAT A KITTEN CAN DO.

How . Little Fellow stopped Street Car
In Baltimore.
One little kitten, about Ave inches in
length, held in check one morning re.
Gently the downtown traffic over the
City and Suburban railroad, says the
Baltimore Sun. A summer car stopped
TO take passengers, when the kitten,
standing on the sidewalk leisurely in
specting the car. suddenly determined
on n personal investigation of the inside
workings Of rapid transit. She ran out
irto the street Immediately underneath
che heavy battery OF the car and began
elambering about the machinery. The
conductor and several OF the passengers
saw her, and IN effort was made to
chase the kitten away. Canes and UNI.
brellas were thrust underneath the car
ut her, and many emphatic commands to
''shoo!" were given, but It was evident
she was too new in the world to under
stand English.
The passengers enjoyed the joke ut
first, but when 1t seemed that the kit
ten did not intend to come out, those In
hurry to begin the days toll became
impatient, and the number Of the res
cuers augmented rapidly. More canes
and more umbrellas were thrust at her,
likewise more speeches of wicked
turn. But she remained undisturbed
aud curled up rs II she liked things In
general, and meant to spend the day
there. When ut last It appeared to the
hurried passengers and irate conductor
that the only thing to do was to start
the car and crush out the poor little
kittens life, she came to the conclusion
shat there are other pleasures in the
world besides rapid transit, and walked
out with the satisfied air of one who had
completely set ut rest the cravings Of
curiosity. Then the car proceeded.

SATURDAY, JUNE 20.
HER Joyous FUNERAL.

Lagny, small town in the Seine
et-Marne department, France, lately
numbered among its inhabitants
an elderly widow, whose name is
likely to be long remembered in
the parrish for the original and
eccentric manner with which she
chose to be conducted to her last
resting place. Some months ago
Madame Miette-for this was the
name borne by this singular lady
came into a respectable sum of
money. This she ran through with
amazing rapidity. She took little
heed of the morrow, and was wont
to declare that when the last penny
came she would solve the difficulty
by taking her own life. With this
end in view she purchased a gor-
geous funeral robe and highly
ornamented and padded coffin.
which she had placed in her bed
room. She next sent for the leader
of the local town band and handed
him over fair sum of money on
condition that he should head her
funeral procession, and she further
more drew up program of popu.
lar and joyous tunes to be played
by his orchestra OH that occasion.
A few days back, when only n quar-
ter or two of her little fortune
remained. the widow, determined
un ending all worldly troubles,
bought some charcoal, shut herself
up in her room, and was found dead
next morning. Punctually obedi.
ent to orders. the town band appear
ed at the hour of the funeral and
saluted the corpse with gay hunt
ing chorus. The funeral procession
then moved off at a quick pace, TO
the accompaniment of a lively
march. Four times was the cortege |
pulled up Ell route for the cemetery,
and at the last halt the band broke
forth with the sprightliest dance
music, like strains accompanying
the lowering of the coffin into the
grave. These strange and unusual
proceedings attracted large
attendance. and have excited much
comment amongst the populace of
the town.
