NEGOTIATIONS ARE OPENED.
Sir Julian Pauncefote and Minister
Andrade Confer.

Sir Julian PauncefOte and Minister
Andrade Confer.
Washington, D. c., June 23.-Sir Ju-
liam Pauncefote, the British ambassa-
dor, and Minister Andrade of Vene-
zuela have been negotiating of
Uuruan affair, and incidentally to-
ward opening negotiations on the bound
airy question proper There has been
delay due to the month or more taken
in the transmission of mail to Caracas
and return, so that thus far the negotia-
lions have not proceeded beyond an in
troductory statement.
tons to which Mr.. Curzon, undersecre-
tary of foreign affairs. referred in his
public statement before the House of
Commons last Friday when he spoke of
the instructions given to Sir Julian to
communicate with Minister Andrade and
to the latter's failure thus far to respond.
At first some question was raised here as
to the accuracy of Mr. Curzon's state
ment, as officials doubted whether Mr..
Andrade had received from Sir Julian
any suggestion toward negotiations on
the boundary. It appears, however, that
these doubts referred to the technical
details and that in a general way Sir
Julian and Mr.. Andrade have been ne
gotiating on the lines stated by Mr.. Cur
zOn.
There appears to be considerable diplo-
matte fencing in the matter just at pres
ent. From the British standpoint Sir
JGlian's overtures to Mr.. Andrade afford
the latter an opportunity to submit propO-
sitions which may bring the governments
together, but give Venezuela a standpoint
that the British overtures should con-
sist of definite propositions instead Of
suggestions that Venezuela should submit
propositions. The Venezuelans say there
is nothing for them to propose except ar
bltration, which they have proposed time
and again. This involves nice diplomatic
distinctions as to who shall make the
oveFtures embracing exact propositions
and meanwhile there is constant delay
on these technicalities owing to the time
consumed in the mails between Washing.
ton and Caracas.
The arrest of Mr.. Harrison, chief of
the British surveying party on the Brit
ish-Venezuelan boundary, has not been
communicated to the officials here. It
appears TO be conceded, however, that
Harrison was in the wrong if the dis
patches are correct in stating that he
was on the west side Of the Cuyuni
river.
Mr.. Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, laid down the Cuyuni
as part of the provisional boundary pend
ing settlement, so that it is said the
British will not make the contention that
Mr.. Harrison was right in proceeding
beyond this provisional boundary This
takes from the incident it's serious aspect.
as Harrison is not likely to be supported
by the vigorous British protest that was

we had come at a sort of jogging run.
1t might have been laughable to another;
but | was in no mind to laugh. i
watched him as long as he was in sight;
and he never stopped hurrylng, nor once
looked back. Then it came IN upon my
mind that this was all his sorrow at my
departure; and my conscience smote me
hard and fast, because |, for my part,
was overjoyed to get away out OF that
quiet countryside, and go to a great,
busy house, among rich and respected
gentlefolk Of my own name and blood.
''Davie, Davie," | thought, was ever
seen such black ingratitude! Can you
forget old faVors and old friends at the
mere whistle of name? Fly, fly; think

And 1 sat down on the boulder the
good man had just left, and opened the
parcel to see the nature of my gifts.
That which he had called cubical, | had
never had much doubt of; sure enough
it was a little Bible to carry in plaid
neuk. That which he had called round,
| found to be shilling piece; and the
third, which was to help me so wonder
fully both in health and sickness all the
days of my life, was a little piece of
coarse yellow paper, written upon thus
in red ink:
ITO Make Lilly of the Valley Water
Take the flowers of lilly Of the valley
and distil them in sack, and drink
spooneful or two as there is occasion
1t restores speech to those that have the
dumb palsey. 1t is good against the
Gout; it comforts the heart and strength
ems the memory; and the flowers, put
into a Glasse,. close stopt, and set into
ane hill of ants for a month, then take
it out, and you will find liquor which
comes from the flowers, which keep in a
vial; it's good, i'll or we'll, and whether
man or woman"
And then, in the minister's own hand,
was added:
Likewise for sprains, rub it in; and
for the cholic, a great SPOONFUL in the
hour"
To be sure, | laughed over this; but it
was rather tremulous laughter; and l
was glad to get my bundle on my staff's
end and set out over the ford and up the
hill upon the further side; till, just as
came on the green drove-road running
wide through the heather, took my last
of Kirk Essendean, the trees about the
manse, and the big rowans in the kirk
yard where my father and my mother
lay.

1t was a strange convention, and will
not soon be forgotten. 1t was in SeS-
sion only little over FIVE hours. Near
ly all the candida tes were nominated by
reclamation. There was no strife, there
were no acrimonious speeches save those
directed against the enemy.
The convention as had been predicted
came out strongly for silver and so in
structed its delegates-at-iarg to the ma
tional convention. The platform was al
most Numerically opposite in all its
parts to that of the Republican party and
the 1868 delegates voted unanimously
for it's adoption.

read:
We favor the soundest and safest money
known to man, and experience has shown
that this consists of both gold and silver
with equal rights of coinage and full legal
tender power. We demand the repeal of
the Republican and plutocratic legislation
which demonetized silver and reduced it to
the basis of token money, destroying by one
half the stock of real money and by doubling
the work to be done by gold, doubled it's
purchasing power so that the farmers and
producers had to give twice as much work
to get dollar as they formerly had, and
found it hard to meet the debts, interest
taxes and fixed charges which were not low
cred.
Having learned through bitter experience
that Wall street has controlled the financial
legislation at Washington and knowing that
every effort will be made to defeat tie VIII
of the people we deem it proper to be ex-
plicit in our declarations.
Actuated by the foregoing principles and
desiring the prosperity of the people, we
demand the Immediate restoration of the
free and unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver as standard money at the rate of 16
ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold of equal
fineness, with full legal tender power to each
metal without waiting for or depending on
any other nation on earth; and the delegates

honorable means to secure a similar declara-

We are also opposed to the contraction Of

long unshaved; but what most distressed
and even daunted me- he would neither
take his eyes away from me nor look me
fairly in the face. What he was, wheth-

snent Of the views of the administra-

the Cuban belligerents created interest
in the house. Several members who
are enthusiastic for Cuba, suggested
that the resolutions should be reconsid-

Cleveland would be compelled to sign
them or veto them, but this proposal
was discouraged by the leaders i'll for

out that the administration practi-

ident Grant maintained during the 10
years rebellion. Most of the constitu-
tional authorities concede hat recogni-
ton is an executive act, SO that the
friends of the revolution find little
ground for hope that recognition will
be extended until the insurgents win q
