THE VENEZUELAN MATTER.
Nothing New or Startling in The London
Chronicles Latest Announcement.

nv LONDON. Sept. 3o-The Chronicle says:
There is some season to believe that ihe
Venezuelan negotiations have reached "A
promising stage both with reference to
the boundary dispute and the arbitration
treaty with America
The wording of the foregoing does not
suggest that the statement is inspired
Everybody believes that the boundary
dispute will be settled amicably. but such
steps will not be taken pending the re-
port of the American Venezuelan COM
mission. Only the permanent officials at
the foreign and colonial offices are on
duty in those departments at the present
time. and they will act in merely routine
matters until the return of the ministers
Lord Salisbury is too busy with Tur-
key to attend to Venezuela. even if Sec
rotary Olney should press the Venezuelan
matter No such action on the part OF
Mr.. Olney is expected mt present how
ever, as it would be a slight to President
Cleyeland's commission.

women and children will hear with sur
prise and grief of the decision of the Kan
sas Court of Appeals which overthrows the
law under which divorces have been grant
ed in Kansas for the past twenty-five
years. 1t has been estimated that more
than forty thousand DEGREES of divorce
were pronounced within that period; which
means that the confusion as to marital
relations. legitimacy of offspring and con-
troll of property will be almost indescrib-
able. An omnibus remedy for this condition
may not easily be devised so the outlook is
really distressing for mary people who
are not in any sense responsible for the
divorces which, by the ineffectiyeness of

ence. AS a result of the decision of the

of complicated confusion in countless

step In the right direction and ought to be
ioiiowed as soon as possible by other and
longer strides. At the present time there
exists a most remarkable condition of af-
1alrs as to armament. The army has q
rine OF 30 caliber, the navy has rifle of

have rifles Of assorted calibers and fit main

weakness at a vital point There IS ever
before us the possibility of strife, in the
course of which all arms Of both services
might frequently be associated. The con-
fusion arising from the mixture of reouisi-
lions for and issues of ammunition can
easily be imagined by anyone who can
think. 1t having been demonstrated that
the army and navy can get together and
reach agreement on one subject why may
there not be similar conference and agree
