With odors soft and soothing
And bird songs loud and clear,
The summer day is dying,
The twilight hour is near
The pure and tender twilight,
When golden glows the west

Sweet hour of peace and rest.
Then filled with rising rapture,
pass through field and grove,
And sing, amid the sweetness,
My songs of joy and love;

Above me in the trees,
| voice my dearest heart.thoughts

Thinks England Would Agree
to a Joint Venezuelan
Commission.
Special to THE HERALD.

London, Feb. -20.-A Wash
inglon dispatch to the Times
with reference TO the editorial
in that paper yesterday which
was cabled to the Associated
Press says: 1t is agreed here
that the governments would
only be bound by a majority
Of The joint Venezuelan com
mission. The Times editorial
referred to expressed the con-
viction that a provision to this
effect would have to go with
the plan of the appointment of
a joint commission. The dis
patch adds that it rests with
Lord Salisbury to choose be-
tween guaranteed arbitration
confined to Venezuela or an un-
limited arbitration, opening
the doors to infinite mischief in
the future. In an editorial COM
menting on the foregoing, the
Times contends that the
methods ofproceedure now sug-
gested do not favor a rapid dis
posal of the disputed question,
but would rather deal with a
detailed investigation of differ
ent districts which would be a
work of time. "As to an &C

clples," the editorial continues,

MEXICO CANNOT
PUNISH THEM
Special to THE HERALD.

Special to THE HERALD.
Mexico City, Feb. 21.-High
officials of the department of
foreign relations say, regarding
today's prize fight, that nothing
can be done to punish the peo-
pie concerned, as they merely
violated what was practically
only a police regulation, sue
ceeding in making a dash into
Mexican territory, avoiding
Gov. Ahumada and his rurales
who were fifty miles away.
Had Gov. Ahumada caught
them, the offense would have
been only a midemeanor and
no more. The case is not an eX-
traditable one and it comes I'M
der no clause of treaty.
President Diaz has taken the
ground right along that Mex
lean law did not cover prize
fighting, and his endeavor was
merely TO prevent the fight ont
of consideration for the Amer
lean government.

plan than has yet been offered.
Nothing is more harmful than
the agreement that really eX-
lists. What is wanted now is an
exact understanding Of the ba-
sis on which arbitration ought
to proceed. On the other hand,
1T is not necessary to wait until
we can formally ratify an agree
ment on the whole question. 1t
is highly probable that, if the
proposal for a joint commission
was officially submitted, Eng
land would accept forthwith,
with little or no modification.
This would save time and would
draw the two governments
closer. 1t is quite a mistake to
imagine, as they seem to do in
Washington, that general arbi-
tration has any terrors. for the
British government. Mr.. A. j.
Balfour's recent remarks in
parliament ought to show this.
But general arbitration could
never any more than partially
induce either England or the
United States to forego the
right of sovereign states to de
fine by negotiation the case to
be submitted to the arbitra
tors"

SCENE OF THE FIGHT,
The train arrived at about
3 80 central time, and over a
rocky road, winding about the
PERCEPTIONS cliffs a long the
Rio Grande, the crowd wendell
its way to the sandy beach of
the river. Forty two Mexicans
had carried the ring material
along TO the river bank last
night, and after working hard
all day upon a roadway down
from the bluff a narrow wooden
foot brige had been up across
the swiftly flowing stream. The
crowd stumbled over the stony
path and through and over
deep sand, guided by little
Jimmy white, boy, who came
from Torrento to be at the
fight. The battle ground was
sandy fiat upon a big bend in
the Rio Grande on the Mexican
side. 1t was just two miles
from the village of Langtry.
In the centre of a canvass
walk about two hundred feet
in diameter, the ring was pitch
ed. The board floor was cover
ed with canvass over which !
rosen was sprinkled. At one
side was the frame compart
ment for the taking by the
Kinetscope of the pictures of
the fight as it proceeded but
the machine would not work
today, because of the dark
weather.

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 21.-The
special cars awaiting the fight
spectators at the Ell Paso depot
were attached to the regular
train on the Southern Pacific
which was 40 minutes late COM
ing into Ell Paso. There were
five cars. About 115 people
bought tickets for Langtry put
ting up Sligo each. The tick
cts to the fight were $50 and
those who wished could secure
sleeping accommodations for

A quieter and better behaved
lot of visitors to a prize fight

The run to Langtry $50 miles.
1t was without momentous Incl

Fitz espied a big black bear
chained to the corner of a house
about five feet from the train.
Fitz logged over to the bear and
scraped up an acquaintance,
while engine was taking water.
Gen. Mabry and tweDtY-six of
his Texas rangers with heavy
laden cartridge belts, horse-p is-
tolls and Winchester rifles, ac-
companied the train. The ran
gers and the adjutant general
witnessed the fight and enjoyed
it. But those who had the best

drops began to fall but the rain

tered the ring.
The general opinion of the
sportsmen who witnessed the
fight was that it was a most
brilliant and unqualified victo-
ry for Fitzsimmons. Maher
may not have been in as good
