VENEZUELAN WORK
WHITE, OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY
TELLS WHAT
The Preliminary Work Done by the Boun-
dairy Commission-Its Great Value
Geographically and Historically.

New York, Nov. 25.-Ex-President
Andrew d. White, of Cornell Univer-
versity, a member of the Venezuelan
boundary commission, is at the Fifth
Avenue hotel. In an interview he
said: 1.-The work of the Venezuelan
boundary commission is about com
pleted. There is yet much to be done
in the minor details, such as printing
and issuing the material the commits
sion has gathered, but the real work
for which the commission was APP
pointed is complete. In view of the
recent turn of the affair, it is possible
that the report of the commission may
not be made public. The commission
has served a useful purpose, because
it brought about the best was to ar
rive at the solution of the question.
The commission has worked steadily
together and has brought together a
large mass of important material, clas-
sified it and gotten it into proper con-
dition with the matter at issue.
''Dr. Winsor, of Harvard, has eX-
amined nearly 800 maps and has made
a careful report. Prof. Burr, of Cor
nell, has worked in various ways in
the country. at the archives in the
Hague and in London, and has sent
from time to time reports of great
value, enabling the commission to set
tie some difficult points.
"Prof. Jameson of Brown universe
ty, has studied on special subjects in
the libraries in this country and
abroad and has submitted reports.
Experts have been at work in the ar
chives of the great mission orders in
Rome and of the Jesuits and Francis
cans, and have sent us from time to
time maps and statements showing
extensions of Spanish missions into
the disputed territory. The certified
copies of the most important docu-
ments bearing on the case in the
Spanish archives have been laid be-
fore us.
"The commission has prepared prob
ably the best map ever made of the
whole territory between the OrinOco
and the Essequibo rivers, and in adj
dition special maps which will be pub
lished with the documents to the num-
Der of 20 or 80. All of this matter
will be transferred to the arbitration
tribunal, and cannot fail to be one of
great use to that body in saving a
vast deal of trouble and great expense.
1t will also allow that body to dis
charge its duties in much less time
than it could otherwise have done.
The work therefore of our commits
sion has been preliminary and prepar-
atory to the work of the arbitration
tribunal"
Mr.. White said the only question
the commission had not arrived at a
conclusion upon was that of the fifty
years occupancy of the settlers, That
he answered would have to he settled
by expert testimony.

unfortunate Jeanette expedition to
the north pole in 1881, have recently

DIPLOMATIC SPECULATION.
Not Definitely Known Who VIII Sue
coed Gen. Riva.

Cetu Ieu. hlNd.
New York, Nov. PA special TO
the Herald from Washington says:
The possible immediate appointment
of Senior Matthias Romero, Mexican
minister in Washington, as minister
of Mexico to Spain and Portugal, ow-
ing to the present aspect of the Cuban
situation, is being discussed here.
Since the death of Gen. Palacio Riva,
late minister of Mexico to Spain
and Portugal diplomatic surmise has
been busy as to his successor. Senior
Romero is a diplomat whose intelli-
gence and capacity for adjusting diff
culties and dangerous complications
are unquestioned and whose acquaint,
ances with international affairs COW
ers period of more than 80 years.
The record of his work embraces ne
gotiatiOns. of some of the most import
ant treaties ever drafted in the histo-
ry of his country. While the diplo-
matte service of Mexico is doubtless
well equipped with capable men, it is
believed by diplomats here that the
appointment of the present minister
to the United States to the vacant
place would be a wise move.

WAGES VERSUS SIXTEEN TO ONE.

The Silver Standard IN Imposition Upon
Wage Farmers.
Nc 4 Of "Present Problems" pub
lished ut cent each at 81 Park
place, New York city; is unquestion-
ably the best pamphlet on the wage
question for general distribution during
the present campaign. It is unanswer-
able. No Intelligent workingman can
read it and continue to believe >at free
coinage will raise his, wages. lie will
be sure that IL free coinage gives MS
cheap money. az the, f'rmers expect,
1T will certainly reduce his actual
wages. A wage Garner may xSte for
Bryan after resding this pamphlet, but
it will bef for other reasons than any ex-
pected benefit to wages.
" Mr.. Warner studies the effect of
cheap money experiments in Japan,
China, India, Chile, British Honduras,
Mexico and in this country, and in ev-
cry case he finds unmistakable evidence
that cheap silver and paper moneys have
lowered wages. Wherever money has
been depreoiating in value prices have
been rising, while wages huve changed
not at all or have risen less rapidly than
prices. AZ result tho wuge Garner is
constantly losing ground, though he
may not know why he ias to work
inrder to keep himself and family.
Consequently the manufacturers and
other employers Of labor In silver stand
ard countries are benefited by a depre-
chatting currency. They find in silver
money the slickest possible scheme of
reducing wages without the consent or
knowledge Of their employees.
In Mexico, where the workingmen
are such ohumps that they do not know
when the value Of their dollars is de-
dining. the big employers can keep the
country on the silver standard, but even
In such backward countries as Chile and
British Honduras the wage earners
could not be imposed upon forever by
silver and other cheap money. No class
of citizens rojoioed more than the wage
earners when these countries, short
time ago. stopped "monkeying" with
silver and adopted the standard of the
civilized world-gold.
Mr.. Warner quotes numerous admis-
sions from silverite authorities rs to the
effect Of cheap money Oh wages. He
concludes that IF our wago earnors be-
lieve they are getting too high wages,
and that this country is suffering in
consequence. NIL they have to do is to
take lower wages. If they prefer
roundabout way. they can favor free
coinage of silver, and they will get
their wages cut down half without any
further trouble ON their part y
There has never yet been made law to
put into any laboring mans pocket a
single dollar TINT he did not earn. He,
of all men, therefore, has the best right
to insist that there shall be no law
passed that will raise tho price Of what
he has to buy, and thus take from him
any portion Of what he has earned"
