nid oIney and chamberiaia Agreeq

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5-There is a well
defined belief in diplomatic circles here
that as a result of Joseph Chamberlain's
visit to this country some definite under
standing has been reached between him
and SECRETARY Olney in regard to a final
settlement Of the long pending Venezue-
Ian boundary line dispute.
Just what the terms of agreement are
no one In Washington is prepared to say.
Whatever transpired between the English
secretary for the colonies and our secre-
tary Of state was, of course, semiOflicial in
character, and will not take formal shape
until MIR. Chamberlain has conferred with
Lord Salisbury and Embassador Paunce-
fote and Secretary Olney have come TO-
gether again.
Nothing in writing has passed between
the two governments in regard TO the
Venezuelan question since the publication
of the last correspondence in July. There
were two unpublished notes relating to
the question of settled DISTRICTS which, at
that time, seemed to be the only obstacle
In the way of getting the whole question
before an arbitration tribunal.
The question of a general arbitration
treaty to include the Venezuela contro-
versy, which formed the greater portion
of the correspondence made public will
probably not figure any longer in the ne
gotiations for the settlement Of the Vene-
zuelan matter. 1t was Secretary Olney'
opinion when he left here that no agree
ment was likely to be reached for some
years for a general arbitration treaty be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States
Secretary Olney and Embassadoi
Paunoefote are expected to get together
during the present month, when the re
suit Of the conferences between Secretary
Olney and Mr. Chamberlain will TAX,
formal shape in proposition from th'
British minister to our secretary Of state
This proposition, it is believed will be il
the nature Of further concessions by Grea
Britain In regard to the question OF set
tied districts, and will be so much mor'
liberal than anything Great Britain hai
heretofore proposed that the United states
will be able to accept IL, and thus plao'
Venezuela in a position for an amicabl'
settlement Of the territorial question.
There is scarcely any doubt here that 1
satisfactory understanding will be reached
in time for the president to refer to it il
his annual message to congress The re
port of tho American boundary commits
sion ought to be completed before congress
meets.
If no agreement should be reached be
tween Great Britain and the United State
before the report is formally submitted
the administration will find itself consid
erably embarrassed in laying it befor
congress, as, under the terms Of the spe
oial message Of the president resulting II
the appointment of the commission, th
president to be consistent would have {
take very aggressive stand in his com
ing message, provided the commission dc
cides in favor Of Venezuela, as it Is geneI
ally supposed it will.

COUDERT BRINGS FACTS
New Light on the Venezuela
Boundary Question.
FOUND IN OLD DUTCH RECORDS.

Commissioner Returns From Abroad with
Additional and Important Information
Unearthed In The Hague and at Rome.
Did olney and Chamberlain Agree?
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Frederiok r. Cou-
dert, the eminent lawyer and member OF
the Venezuelan commission, appointed by
President Cleveland to investigate the
Guiana boundary claim, has returned to
this city from The Hague, coming by
French line steamer La Bourgogne. Mr..
Coudert went abroad for the purpose of
examining the old Dutch records relating
60 the Venezuelan boundary. and has spent
considerable time over the government
archives with the result that quite an ar
ray of new testimony bearing upon the
point at issue has been unearthed.
Mr.. Coudert was seen by a reporter con
cerning the results of his trip. He said
that much had been accomplished.
Immediately upon my arrival at the
Hague, said he, g. met Professor Barr Of
Cornell university, who, as the representa-
tive Of the commission, had already spent
much time In gathering data. Together
we won't through the records very thor
oughly.
"Then we went to London, where many
of the records were transferred at the
time of the purchase of Guiana in 1915
Many of these records had already been
published by the British government, and
very fairly. We found other useful owl
denoe there. however, and both In London
and Holland met with uniform courtesy
In the prosecution of our search. -
"Were all the records prior to 1915 trans
ferred to London at the time of tho sales'
was asked.
"No, indeed" replied Mr.. Coudert
quickly; mot all of them We found some
very valuable papers in the old Dutch rec
ords.
Just how valuable these papers were OF
what they tended to establish Mr. COuderi
would not disclose, but reiterated his state
ment that they were very valuable. An
other useful source Of Information he said
was the propaganda at Rome, whore som'
most valuable records were found.
"The pioneers in this territory" h'
said, ,'"were monks, chiefly of the order o
Capuchins, and their reports to their hom'
order contain much Information, whicl
both parties to the controversy have beeI
allowed to avail themselves of. -
Regarding the correspondence which
has passed between Secretary Olney anC
Lord Salisbury recently, Mr.. Coudert said
II understand that this correspondence
deals with the subject Of arbitration gen
orally and cannot be specifically applied t.
the Venezuelan controversy. The recen
visit of Joseph Chamberlain did not, il
my opinion, have any connection with
this matter
$50 far as I know officially nothing
further has been accomplished in the mat
ter than when 1 left, and If any negotia
tions are being conducted by the executive
of the government 60 settle it they are un
known to me. I cannot say when the com
missions report will be ready nor whethe
it will be finished before President Cleve
lands term Of Office expires.

ATHLETICS AT CLAREMONT.
Windsor q Points, CIaremont, II, Bellows
Falls, |. Details of Meet.

A large delegation from Bellows Falls,
including coaching party, witnessed the
field-sports at Claremont last Friday. A
strong breeze blowing down the track and
raising clouds of dust, made it impossible for
the winnersto lower records the boys from
the Stevens High school were unable to
score enough points to win, and while only
one point is credited to Bellows Falls, yet
the contestants from this town deserve
more credit than the Official score shows.
Our boys went in to get little experience
none of them having entered before, and to
do what they could against older and larger
boys who won second place last year at
Dartmouth.
Mcmahon of Windsor, though he put
the shot only 80 # 10 in Friday, can be
counted on for 4 #. At Dartmouth the record
is 40 # Bin. The standing high jump of
4 # 1 1-2 in is very creditable, as is the
running broad 10 1-2 made in a cloud of
dust where it was impossible to see the
mark. The half-mile, made in 2.13 IL,
compares favorably with PIP at Mount
Vernon and 227 at V. A. At Mount
Vernon the winning broad this year was
10 1t 1-2 in, at V. A. Is # 1-2. These
few comparisons show the quality of the
boys in the C.. V. /. A. A., and remove
criticism from our high school boys who
are much younger and smaller than the
others.
