It is one of the meanest and most con- temptible forms of cheating, and one that occasions more illness than we probably realize. If the foreigners will not send us honest measure and honest goods, let the protectors of our health hold another Boston Tea Party, and make an example that the poisoners will remember.

Weaver and Tudor, who have been prospecting in the Chemeheu- wis mountains for many months past, arrived in Needles today. They bring with them three ounces of gold dust, which they say was taken out by them in two days.

Tudor says that old man Davis has a rich claim, from which he is taking nearly an ounce day. The claim of the printer syndicate is the very richest placer ground ever discov- cred in Arizona, two men and a machine taking one hundred dol lars day. Nuggets varying from five to fifty dollars have been taken from the placers.

THE BLUE BOOK A FRAUD. {

Documents Come to Light that Prove En-
glish Contentious Regarding Venezuelan
boundary to be Founded ON Myths
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The Venez-
uelan government has laid before the
high commission an authenticated doc
ument secured recently among the
official records of the colony of British
Guiana which throws grave suspicion
on the accuracy of the Salisbury blue
book, upon which England expressed
willingness to rest her claim to the
disputed territory. This newly found
document, i'll the opinion of those i'm
partially studying the merits of the
controversy, calls for a full and ex-
plicit explanation from Great Britain
to parliament, for whose accurate in
formation the blue book was ostensibly
prepared. The inaccuracies do not APP
pear in Prof. Pollocl1's argument ac-
companying the case, wherein all the
errors have so far been discovered, and
in few instances corrected, but in what
purports to be the presentation of all
the evidence in the case.
The disclosure relates to document
No. II, which commences on page 1S1
of the official publication, continuing
over four pages and amounting to con-
siderably more than full newspaper
column. The document in question is
the letter from Gov. Light, of the col
ony, to the Marquis of Normandy, dated
July 10, 1889, transmitting report
from Schomburgk regarding his travels
under the auspices of the Royal Geo
graphical society, before the distin-
guished botanist had been employed
by the government to devise a provis-
ional boundary line.
Right in the middle of the opening
paragraph of the letter, the British off,
cial editors of the evidence have cut out
the only matter in the letter that bears
upon the merits of the dispute and have
laid themselves open to charge OF gar
bling an official paper.
The duty of the Venezuelan commits
sion is practically to find out whether
the limits of British Guiana have beer
extended since the Monroe doctrine
was enunciated in 1928, British Guiana
having been ceded to the English by
the Dutch in 1914. The confession tha'
in 1889 the colony was without docu
ment bearing upon its southern o.
western boundary, transfers the entir'
burden of proof upon Great Britain
and is held to invalidate all the British
claims which cannot be fully substan
tiated by Dutch and Spanish records
Under ordinary circumstances the grea
mass of those archives quoted in tn
blue book might have had great weigh
with the high commission, but the dis
covery of Justification in quoting a.
English letter has thrown cloud owe
all the other pages of the book and tc
day the entire publication is regarde
with distrust

made speech for free silver
A number of resolutions OF lnstruc-

port was also adopted. The committee
on resolutions reported, indorsipg free

the delegates to Chicago to work for

DIAMOND THIEVES CAUGHT.


Former Servants of a New Yorker Who
was Robbed OF 100000 Worth of Gems
. are Captured In London.
LONDON, April ls.-Two men giving
their names as Dunlop and Turner and
describing themselves as gentlemen
servants" were arraigned in the Marl-
borough Street police cour Friday,
charged with having in their possess
sion 2S diamonds aggregating $4,000 in
value, for possessing which they were
unable to give any satisfactory ac-
count. Dunlop said they had got the
diamonds from Jew in Halton Gar
den. Turner said he was last employed
by gentleman in New York, and had
left that situation in February last.
The two men were remanded for a
week without bail
Police Inspector Froest searched the
lodgings of the men and found there
jewelry worth $4,000. 1t is believed
that the jewels are the proceeds of the
robbery of the residence of l. Town
send Burden in New York, some time
ago. 1t is understood that Inspector
Froest is entitled to e2, 900 reward.
1t is asserted that Dunlop was but
Ter and Turner footman in the Bur-
den household in New York. The men
have been lodging with saloon-keep-
er in Shepherd Market. They were
arrested in Bond street. Dunlop had
two packets of diamonds in his breast
pocket.
Inspector Froest said that he had
often seen Dunlop and Turner within
the last few days in the neighborhood
of Bond street. From their general
appearance he thought there was some
thing suspicious about them and Thurs
day he and Inspector Hare determined
to ascertain their character. He had
not expected, however, to find the
Burden robbers and, as a matter OF
fact, had no description of them.
The robbery occurred at Mr.. l. Town
send Burdens residence in East Twen-
ty-sixth street, New York, on the night
of December 81, 1895, while all but one
member of the family were at the
theater. Nearly all of the jewels were
locked up in a small safe in Mrs. Bur-
denis boudoir. The remainder were in
similar safe in Mr.. Burdens bed.
room. Apparently they could not
have been more secure unless they had
been placed in safe deposit vault.
The value of the jewels stolen was es'
timated at $5S,2SO.
