VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.
A Meeting Behind Closed Doors
Their New Quarters.

A Meeting Behind Closed Doors I'm
Their New Quarters.
The Venezuelan boundary commission
held an adjourned meeting in their new
quarters in the Sun building today. The
session was held behind closed doors and
lasted over two hours. At it's close it was
announced that Mr.. Justice Brewer, presi-
dent of the commission, would make a
public statement of the business transact
ed this afternoon at 5 o'clock.
Although an effort was made to keep
knowledge Of the proceedings from the
public until this evening, it is generally un-
derstood that the commission has elected
Mr.. s. Mallet-Prevost Of New York as it's
secretary, and has mapped out a general
course of action for the ascertainment of
the divisional line between Venezuela and
British Guiana.

The reports of an expected change, which
were spread during the forenoon, were not
realized, and the general aspect Of the
deadlock does not differ from last week.
Mr.. Wellington's vote rose three points
above his total Saturday, the increase be-
ing occasioned by the return of three ab-
sentees. He displayed his full strength
today. and his followers declare they will
stick to him no matter how long the con-
test Is prolonged.
The Goldsborough vote fell off four points
today. The Wellington men say that Colds
borough will not be elected If they can
prevent it.
Mr.. Westcott gained votes today, that
of Mr.. Pennington of Baltimore. who had
not voted before, and Delegate Apple
garthe. who had heretofore voted for
GoldsbOrough.
With the arrival Of the morning train
from Baltimore electioneering developed a
livelier pace today than has been displayed
since the balioting began.
Hints of develC pn7ents, schemes hatched
over Sunday and radical changes soon to
appear combined to keep the tension at the
highest possible pitch during the morning.
and symptoms of unrest and anxiety were
| manifested on all sides. Conspicuous among
the reports was the statement that Gov.
Lowndes had determined to oppose the
Goldsbororgh boom, and would proceed to
scatter the forces of the young Dorchester
leader. Tris report undeniably troubled
the Goldsboroush men. although they af-
fected to make light of 1t, but the frequent
conferences held with their champion. as
well visits to the executive mansion in
dicated their agitation.
The governor has OF hesitated to criti-
else Attorney General Clabaugh and Con-
troller-elect Graham for their participation
in the Goldsborough campaign, and the ef-
fort made by some members of the faction
to associate his own name with the move
ment has aroused his resentment. There Is
70 doubt that the governor will oppose
Goldsborough.
1t was reported prior to the baIloting that
Senator Dryden would throw his Somerset
voters over to the Wellington column. This
rumor did not gain general credence for, to
start break to Wellington, would be an act
of political suicide on the part of an east
ern shore man.
What the caucus, which will meet tonight,
will do Is uncertain, and the belief Is that no
nomination will be made.
The different candidates are as far apart
as ever, and only the hand of the governor
can settle the fight Strong pressure is
brought to bear on him to help Wellington.

Deductions From Clerk., Pay.

Postmaster General Wilson today sent a
statement to the Senate in response to a
resolution Of inquiry as to the practice of
deducting money from the pay Of railway
mail clerks for violation of the regulations
Of the department. Mr.. Wilson says the
practice has prevailed for the past twenty
years. and defends 1t as necessary to main
tain discipline and secure efficiency.
He points out that there are between
seven ard eight thousand clerks In the rail-
way mail service, and owing to the remote
ness OF some Of them 1t Is often impossible
to keep close supervision over them, and
unless the clerk IL q reliable and honest
one he Is more likely to go astray at q dis
tance than IL he were directly under the
eye Of some ofilcer OF the service, which
makes 1t necessary. In order that the dis
cipline should be maintained. that the sys-
tenn be continued.

Here is suggestion that may
save some business man money.
A business man advertises for
proft-not to see his name in
print.
Advertising that does not be-
get profitable results is dear at
any price.
Advertising space in one pa
per costing fifteen cents a line
may be profitable investment,
while in another space at cent
line may be excessively dear.
Note that The Stars advertis-
ers are the prosperous concerns
of Washington.
