that the work of the Venezuelan Com
mission is being delayed through the
influence of the United States admins
tration in order that it may carry out
some underlined plan of settling the
boundary question by diplomatic nego-
tiations, thus avoiding any sharply de-
lined decision on the controversy such
as the commission was instructed to
make, appears to be as wholly unsub-
stantiated as many previous rumors
on the same subject.
Nor is there any firner foundation
for the guess that the trend of opinion
IN the commission is adverse to Great
Britain. The administration has never
interfered in the least with the progress
made by the commission in developing
evidence upon the disputed boundary
and definite quietus put upon the ru-
NOR that Secretary Olney has been able
to threaten Lord Salisbury with a de-
cision favorable to Venezuela by the
declaration of members of the commits
sion that up to this time much of the
British contention has not been sue
cessfully attacked by Venezuela, the
latters claim in turn having been un-
successful
The sole delay that is now annoying
the commission results from the slow
ness with which the Venezuelan copies
of Spanish archives are being tranSlat-
ed and the consequent loss of time
which will be involved in sending an
agent to Madrid and Seville to verify
the accuracy of all quotations sub
mitted by both contestants. The lease
as far as the Dutch records are con-
cerned is practically complete, except
in its veritication, and these broadly
combat Venezuela's claim to any con-
Sidera bic portion as the heir of Spain
east of the Orinoco River above its
mouth. From an authentic source il is
also learned that no unimpeachable
evidence has yet been forthcoming to
sustain any Venezuelan claim east OF
the Pomeroon River at the coast as
well as to large areas in the basin of the
Cuyuni and other western tributaries
of the Essequibo. These, however. may
be subsequently presented, the Nene-
zuelan case being concededly incom-
plete at present, and the agents of the
country are still engaged in preparing
documents bearing on the interior pos
sessions of Spain when the Dutch colo
NAL encroachments were being resisted
1t is estimated that by no possibility
can the report of the commission be
prepared in less than a month after all
the possible evidence has been collected
and the Commissioners, who are with
out exception making efforts to COM
plete their labors, have no idea that the
case will be conditioned for final con-
sideration for another month
In the meantime the Commissioners
are neither informed of any diplomatic
negotiations to render their work SUI
perf1uous nor have they intimated in
any manner, directly or indirectly, to
Secretary Olney or any other person
that their decision would be unfavora-
BILE to either one of the parties in con-
troversy. This for the simple reason
that like all judges they are waiting for
a complete presentment of the facts.

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS.
The Sound TIOney nen Will Hold a
Convention TO-DAY.

OMAHA, April 2S.-Following closely
their silver antagonists, the sound
money Democrats of Nebraska will
hold thir convention tomorrow. Not
many delegates had arrived this after

tion faction insist that while the rep
resentation may be hardly as large as
was the convention of a week ago. it
VIII be more representative. The four
delegates at large to the Chicago Con-
vention have been decided upon in the
convention as follows: Tobias Castor
of Lincoln, National Committeeman
for the State; Euclid Martin of Omaha.
Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee; d. W. Cook of Beatrice and T
J. Mahoney of Omaha.
The latter as an orator is considered
the equal of exCongressman Bryan.
and on him will devolve the duty OF
presenting the claims of the sound
money faction claim to seats at Chi
cago. The platform will declare une-
quivocally against free coinage of sill
yer, indorse the administration of Pres
ident Cleveland and Secretary Carl
isle and may declare in favor of j
Sterling Morton as a Presidential can

No more is the hour glass waist fashionable Jackets will be seen less and less, and finally disappear. Skirts now have lace founces, bodices round waist, with tight-fitting sleeves, and short-waisted effects will prevail.
 Of course, it will take some time to effect so radical change, but surely are long waists going out.
 Narrow belts are not now the latest. Into their domain has erept the loose velvet Empire belt, and before autumn is fairly here they will extend from armpit to waistline Not below that, however, for under no circumstances will the long waist be countenanced.
 But there is not much hint of this in the gowns worn at present Here is a gown of to-day, whose vagaries might well be copied by the summer girl for her campaign.
