No. III:
Foreign Office. July 3. 1S96--Sir: I have
to acknowledge your excellencys dispatch.
No. 200. Of June Is, inclosing a note from
Mr. Oiney in which he explains the rea-
sons that induce the government of the
United States TO withhold their consent
from the proposals with respect TO the
Venezuelan frontier contained in my dis
patch No. lso of the I'D Of May The argu-
ments by which Mr.. Olney supports this
view will receive the careful consideration
of her majesty's government. ! am now
writing TO you for the purpose of discus
sing them ssAe n
My object in addressing your exceilency
Is to point out a matter of some import
ance. Mr. Olney. owing, doubtless. to the
inadequacy of my own explanation. has
misapprenended the purport Of the pro-
posal which / had the honor TO make to
him. He states that ii appears to be a
fundamental condition tha. the boundary
line decided 10 be the true one by the arbi-
traitors shall not operate upon territory
bona fide occupied by a British subject.
but shall be DETECTED In every such case
so as to make such territory part of Brit
ish Guiana.
This was not the intention of my pro-
poSal and the language of my dispatch
of the I'D of May does not, I think. fairly
bear this construction. l proposed that
the tribunal should not have power TO
include such districts as the territory OF
Venezuela but I did not propose that
they should necessarily be assumed with
out further proof 10 be part of British
Guiana. only stipulated that the owner
ship of them was not TO be decided by the
tribunal. which in our Judgment was In
adequate for this purpose. though IL was
adequate for the assignment OF the un-
settled districts. The settled districts
shown TO be in dispute by the inquiries
of the commission were TO be disposed OF
by subsequent negotiation
THE claim of Venezuela is so far-reach-
ing that IL brings into question in this
matter rights which cannot properly be
disposed of hy unrestricted arbitration II

trip to headquarters at Omaha. He re-
ports that all of the officials expressed
the utmost satisfaction in regard 10
the constantly increasing business that
the burlington is doing out of Mon

nation to impart as regards the extern
sion of the Montana line west from
Billings. The big c., b. & Q. system

that at the annual meeting of the d.

And Charge of "Refuslng to KeeI

The city Jail is ordinarily a place
which people don't care to become in
ttmately acquainted with, and the
charge Of refusing to keep away
from the city Jail" was responded To
in police court yesterday for the first
time in the city's history. Monday
evening Joe Barrie visited the jail and
attempted to relate tale of woe. but
was unable to make himself under
stood. He could not utter a single
word intelligently, and as he refused to
go away the Jailer asked him If he
wanted to be locked up. He nodded
an expressive yes" and the novel
charge OF refusing to leave the Jail was
entered against him.
Yesterday morning II was discovered
that his jaw was broken suuareIy in
fwo at the chin, which was the cause
or his Inability to talk. DR.. Evans
bandaged up the jaw and Barrie was
removed to the poor farm, where Coun-
ty Physician Alvord will attend him.
The jaw will have to be wired to-
gether. Barrie Informed the police by
means OF n paper and pencil that
Laura Hood, an East Galena street
fairy. had broken his jaw with a beer
bottle and she was arrested on a charge
or assault in the second degree.
