BAER HAS RETURNED
The Cornell Professor Arrived
On the Teutonic.
SPENT SEVERAL MONTHS ABROAD

Examined tho Archives of The Hague For
Official Papers Rotating TO the British
Venezuelan Bnundary--Thinlss tho Dis
pute Will lse Amicably Sottled-Knows
Nothing of Diplomatic Negotiations.
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-G. L. Baer, pro-
fessor of history at Cornell university,
returned Oh the steamship Teutonic
after spending some months abroad ex-
aiming the archives of The Hague for
official documents relating to the Vene-
zuelan boundary. These documents go
back to tho sixteenth century. Pro-
fessor Baer discovered that some Of the
records had found their way into Eng
land, which necessitated his going to
London to examine them. Professor
Baer was assisted III his investigations
by DR.. De Ham of Johns Hopkins uni
versity.
MY mission" said Professor Baer,
twas simply to find cat the geographical
and geological conditions; ] explored a
great body of documents which previ-
ously had not been examined. In doing
this. very naturally came across much
good material, but the evidence was so
vague that it would have to be inter
preted by legal authority. Both in The
Hague aud i'll London, / was given
every possible facility for making my
examination.
$50 far as possible I tried, in my own
mind, to arrive at no conclusion. [ was
not sent there to draw conclusions, but
TO explore documents. and have no
right to anticipate the conclusions Of
the commission. I have every reason,
however, to believe that the question
will be amicably settled
81 know nothing %hatever of the
diplomatic negotiations. [ saw by the
newspapers that Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British ambassador, was in England
during my absence on the continent,
and assume from what I 2ead that his
visit there had direct bearing upon tho
international negotiations.
81 cannot say whether my discoveries
are of value either TO one side or to the
other. 1t would not be proper fer me
to do so. | have from time to time
sent on reports to the United States
commission, and am going to Wash
ington at once. where l shall make q
full report. Until this report is sub
mitted do not feel that it would DO
proper for me to discuss the result of
my mission"
