FATE OF BANKRUPTCY BILLS.
Little Hope of Such Measure Passing
the Senate This Session

The Senate Committee on the judiciary
this morning ordered favorable reports
on a number Of Mouse bills of minor import
ance. Next Friday was set apart for the
consideration of the bankruptcy bills now
before the committee.
There appears 10 be little hope of such
measure passing the Senate at Ibis ses-
sion. The ma jority OF the committee ap-
pear TO he in favor OF n voluntary bank
rupicy act only and I is not believed that
such measure would meet with favora bic
consideration at the hands of the Senate.
For this reason there is disposition ON
the pa rt OF some of the committee, at least,
to take no action whatever

VENtlUELi's CASE I'LL IN
Last Batch Of Correspondence
Ready to Be Presented.
WHAT THE LETTERS SHOW
They Are Copies of Very Ancient Docu-
ments and Describe the Trouble Be-
tween the Spaniard rds and Dutch.
In These Disputes the Dons Usually
Came Out Ahead.

The final batch of Venezuelan evidence
Will lie laid before the Venezuelan commits
sion today or tomorrow.
FOr&cveral dn Us Counsel Scruggs and his
assistants have been busily engaged in
preparing for submission the documents
which recently arrived in this country. As
previously stated there are thirty-two
such documents, some OF little or no in
terest to the public and Others very
valuable and instructive.
One OF these procured from the archives
n Seville is Il cole loction' OF letters adj
dressed TO the ruler of Spain by the
governor of Cumara, Don Jose Diguha us
early as 1851. These letters, in an Of
ficiai way, prcscrihe the boundaries OF the
Province OF Qua yana. tell of the first
own established in the year 1924. and
name the lands belonging TO each mission
body.
THE DISPUTES.
Manyof the letters show that as early a S
1850 there was some dispute going on
bct wccn the Dutch and Spaniards rega riding
the settlements up the Orinoco. The
correspondence goes further though, and
shows that these disputes were more i'll tie
nature OF complaints OF the Dutch, which
were never satisfied. and that the SPaBiards
almost invariably gained victory over
their opponents.
One communication is in the nature OF a
testimonial relative To the good services
of a certain official OF the prov ince of
Giayana in preventing the entrance OF for
eigners. and the disiodgiDg of The Dutch
from the Harima river. II is shown that
the Dutch several times cndeavored to cs-
tablish colony in the Esseeubo and even
went so far as 'oerect some forts, but these
were destroyed by the Spanish and the
Dutch e.ectcd as invaders of Spanish soil.
The Venezuelan counsel has advanced ar
guments time and again showing that the
Dutch never had any recognized status in
the disputed territory. These certified cop
les of the correspondence are additional
proof OF this assertion.
SHOULD GO THERE.
II has been suggested more than once that
the members Of the commission should go
20 Venezuela and go over the ground them
selves, and it is believed that the subject
has been given grave consideration. EX-
Minister Sotcldo, in speaking of the dis
cussion yesterday, said:
IF the commission went to Venezuela
they could see for themselves"
The remains OF the old Dutch forts are
supposed to he some wlIat in evidence and
pieces of the ruins are in the same position
where they were when partially destroyed
by the Spanish.
Not only would the commission he able to
Judge better rs viewing these remains, but
they could also determine as to how much
OF the disputed territory IS really English
at the present time. and weigh the ~ idence
as to the injury Salisbury claims would be
lone to 10000 British sab iects. which. il
3 Claimed, do not exist.

ful daughter OF neighbor fell i'll with
the prevalent malady. One day while
walking through the woods near his house
he stopped at n little spring, and almost
automa atically stopped down and filled
Il small vial with the pure water. Then
an idea struck him. He went straight TO
the home of the sick girl and informed
her mother that he had Just received
from Paris patent remedy for the daugh-

1T was colorless and tastclcss, but so
powerful tina it must be admin isicred with

commenced to get well, and the doctor pre-

epidemic was stopped. and the fame of the
doctor spread far and wide, and he soon
had all the practice he could attend TO.

Attempted Burglary.

At 2 o'clock this morning while
Officer Espinda was on watch at
the corner of Fort and Queen
streets, his attention was attracted
by loud noise to the tobacco store
of Hollister & Co. on Merchant
street. Proceeding to the place
two men were seen to suddenly
disappear around the corner. The
officer whistled for assistance and
gave chase, capturing the two men
near the boat landing. The men
were brought back to the scene of
operations, where it was found the
lock and window of the door had
been broken, big iron bar being
the instrument used. One of the
men was badly cut on the hands.
Both were locked up, pending an
investigation this morning.

Deserters Captured.

Two deserters from the ship Iro-
quois were captured by Captain
Hilbus while searching the barken-
tine Irmgard, preparatory to de-
parture yesterday. They were
comfortably slowed away in the
hold. Captain Hilbus took them
in charge and escorted them to the
police station. On the way, one
of the men, named Mcclellan,
struck the large glass window on
the Nuuanu side of McVeigh's ma
chinery store. The first attempt
did not succeed but after punching
two or three times he succeeded in
breaking the glass. Mcclellan then
showed fight and made as if to at
tack Captain Hilbus. The latter
was too much for him and, taking
him by the collar, marched him to
the police station without further
ado.

Don't Make a Mistake.

Now, don't you make a mistake
by imagining that some beers are
just as good as Rainier or Olympic.
Remember that the Seattle Brew
ing and Mailing Co. have made it
a study of how to brew only the
purest and healthiest beer. Others
may try to initiate, but can they?
Perhaps, by relying on their i'm
agination. If that's the case, an
artist ought never be out Of cash.
He could draw money any time he
wanted to. True it is that the
Seattle beer drawn at the Criterion
saloon can't be beat.
