british authorities to delay action until
kxnerts could be sent to Venezuela to
II ascertain whether the disputed territory

Investigations by the British experts, the
between Lord Salisbury
and Secretary Olney continued, and the
result of that correspondence is a matter
of history.
while Lord Salisbury was stoutly re-
hslng Secretary Olney's demands for
arbitration, the British foreign office had
It's agents at work in the supposed gold
fields of Venezuela. Prospectors were
sent into every section of the country that
was liable to become involved in the con-
troversy, and the reports were far from
satisfactory to those interested in the
British end of the claim. When these
facts were made known to the British
capitalists, they at once abandoned their
claims, and the English government com
menced to look around for a way out of
the controversy, without a loss Of dignity
or humblng its royal pride. Then it was
that Lord Salisbury assumed a more con-
cliatory tone in his correspondence with
Secretary Olney, and finally consented to
submit the question to arbitration on the
easiest terms possible under the clrcum-
stances. 1t is said that this statement
will be fully verified when the subject
comes up in congress for considera ton,
IS it probably will, during the coming
session.

emergency, where life or property is at
stake, no one shall work more than eight
hours day in an underground mine, and
