Comment Oh tho Venezuelan Question.
Significant Colonization Scheme.
WASHINGTON, Dec, .-3l.-BritIsh
Guiana newspapers received here to-
day give much attention to President
CleyeIand's message on the opening OF
Congress. The Demarara Chronicle
says;
There IS only one condition under
which Great Britain IL at all likely TO
coHcedc the right OF the United States
to be sole arbitrator OF the desttnles OF
the republics that exist upon this CONT
nent. II Is that she declare protector
ate over them, make herself RESPONSE
bic for their wronS-doinSs and their Ia
blllties and IN fact assume toward them
IN deed, as well as in word, the part OF
wet nurse"
Continuing. the paper points out the
outrages inflicted on British Guiana
residents by the Venezuelans. and says
II II hardly possible for English states
men to enter into further controversy
with the authorities Mt Caracas as long
as those ou,rhRe5 nr0 not repaired. III
adds: And Furthermore. II that repara- J
ton Is not speedily made. Il is quite
within the bounds OF possibility the
character OF the action adopted by
Great Britain mny render the necessity
Of further discussion respecting the
boundary line between British Guiana
and Venezuela altogether unneces-
sary."
Full details are given OF the recent
meeting at Demnrara TO form n colOni-
cation plan IN accordance with the
wishes OF Colonial Minister Chamber
lain. The Importance OF this action
has already attracted attention in Lon
don. 1t was decided 10 form IL company
with capital stock OF 100000, to colon
lie crown lands along the Cuyuant river
between the meridian OF longitude six
ty and the boundary OF the colony and
between attitudes Ave and seven north.
These limits will embrace the rich
gold country, and are within the limits
in dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela. The meeting perfected an
organization. and framed q petition for
the grant OF crown lands.

the change OF weather. There was
quite fall OF temperature yesterday,
