a GOOD start by lhe oemmIs.lor.

The members of the Venezuelan Com
mission met in Washington Monday,
and made public copy OF letter ad.
dressed to Secretary Of State Olney, re-
ferring TO the matters with which tho
commission will have to deal.
The tone of this letter is both signiii.
cant and encouraging. Tho Secretary
of State is addressed "on the question
of securing, So far as possible, the
friendly cooperation and aid OF the
two nations which are directly inter-
ested in the now pending boundary
differences " There is nothing OF tho
iingo business about this. Tho mem
bers Of the commission are evidently Of
the disposition to settle matters peace
ably, instead of rushing into war.
Further on tho letter says:
Whatever may be tho conclusion
reached, no territorial agRrandisement
nor material gain in any form, can &C
crue to the United States. The solo
concern Of our government is tho peace
fu solution Of controversy between
two friendly powers for the Just and
honorable settlement of the title to dis
puted territory and the protection of
the United States against any fresh
acquisitions in our hemisphere on the
part OF any European State.
Better aud better. The commission
ers have high appreciation of their
important functions, and seem actuated
by desire to draw the two contending
powers into closer relations, instead of
aggravating them still further by un
warranted interference in behalf Of oue
side or the other. And then they sug-
gest to Secretary Olney "the expedi-
enoy Of calling the attention of the
governments Of Great Britain and
Venezuela to tho appointment Of the
commission and explaining both it's
nature and object. 1t may be that
they will see way, entirely consistent
with their own sense of international
propriety, TO give the commission the
aid that 1t is no doubt in their power
TO furnish in the way Of documentary
proof, historical narrative, unpublished
archives, or tho like. 1t is scarcely
necessary to say that IL either should
deem it appropriate to designate an
agent or attorney whose duty it would
he to see that no such proofs were
omitted or overlooked tho commission
would be grateful for such evidence Of
good will, and for the valuable results
which would be likely to follow there
from. "
With its duties performed in this
iudicious manner, tho commission will
justify it's creation, even though it is
not proceeding in accordance with the
spirit that inspired its existence. Its
course is in the straight path of "peace

The report Of the committee Of tho
New York Yacht Club appointed TO in
vestigate the charges Of uniairness in
the last international yacht races, pre-
ferred by Lord Dunraven, is a complete
vindication of the owners of tho DE
fender. The charges were proven to
have no foundation whatever, and the
evidence shows conclusively that the
Defender had no more ballast on board
when she raced against Valkyrie III
than she had when first measured. In
short, II was shown that the Earl Of

Another instance Of the heroic spirit
of devotion to duty that impels a brave
man to sacrifice his own life in order
to save the lives Of others, occ urred
Monday on the Lehigh Valley rail
road, near Hazleton, Pa. An express
train was rushing swiftly along when
tho engineer, Michael Ilonzer, sud
denly felt his engine sinking 1t was
the result Of cavlng in OF the earth
beneath the tracks, duo to tho numer-
Gus excavations made in tho coal mines
OF that vicinity. The engineer in a
moment realized the peril of the nitu-
alton, aud the best plan to pursue in
order to save the lives of the nearly
one hundred persons who occupied the
train. To attempt TO stop tho train
meant a horrible wreck, although he
might have saved himself by jumping
The only chance OF salvation for the
rest was TO risk his own life by rush
ing across the weakened spot at full
speed. This he did, then slowed down
the train. and when the engine went
into ditch the brave fellow was
pinned beneath the wreck and the ife
crushed out Of him. The passengers
escaped with nothing more serious
than terrible shaking. The heroism
Of the brave engineer thus saved many
lives, though at the expense of his own.

Tha Rest Game oil enc Season.

BY far the best game that the Randolph
basel ball team has put mp this year was y
South Royalton last Saturday, when they
defeated the team there by score OF
eight to seven.
The Randolphs did not have their pes,
team, consequently the game is more
creditable to them.
The features OF the game were the pat
terry work OF both teams: Six hits were
made off Williams and five of Skinner
Each pitcher had seven strike.outs and
three bases on balls. a,..u
Skinner played remarkable fielding i,
game. He had one put-out, seven assist;
and an error. Mcintosh caught one o.
bis best games, throwing out two men a.
second. The Randolphs made two errors
both by one man, but these DID not anec.
the score. The outfield OF both sides NAG
only seven chances, so 1t can be seen now
effective the pitchers were. ~,
The umpire did not seem to know .ns
game and both sides kicked continually
throughout the game, although there wal
no bad feeling. Following is the secret
