NEW YORK, oct 29.-Professor G.. l..
Burr Of Cornell university, who has been
In Holland and London for three months

the Venezuelan boundary has returned to
this country, coming on the steamship
Teutonio He was assisted in his investi-
cations by DR. De Ham OF Johns Hop
kins university These men were sent
abroad by the Venezuelan commission
Professor Burr was seen by a reporter
before leaving here for Washington. He
said:
II examined a great number OF doou-
ments which have not before been looked
up, for the purpose of learning the geo
graphical and geological conditions Of the
territory in dispute. 1 found some excel
lent material, which was so vague how
ever, that it will require legal authority
to interpret Sc. Every possible courtesy
was shown me in Tho Hague and in Lon
dor in prosecuting my Investigations. In
both places dozens Of clerks were placed
at my disposal. AS 1 was not sent there to
draw conclusions, / kept my mind un-
biassed, ana / cannot anticipate the iudg.
ment of the commission. L do believe,
however, that the question will be settled
amicably.
~ met Sir Julian Paunoefote, the Brit
ish ambassador to this country whilo be
was in England this summer, but did
not discuss the boundary question with
him. have no doubt however that his
visit had a direct bearing on information
al negotiations. 1 have sent several re-
ports to tho commission, but have delayed
the full report until my arrival in Wash
ington. Until this report Is submitted, it
would not be proper for me 90 discuss tho
results Of my Investigations
Ona Of the passengers on the Teutonic
who did not wish to have his namo pub
lished said he had had a number Of talks
with Professor Burr on the steamer, and
that the latter had intimated that the owl
dence he had gathered established beyond
question Nenezuola's right to the disputed

thrown the eggs Thomas Gahan, chair
man Of the Democratic county committee,
has received the following letter from Mr..
Bryan regarding the matter; II wish you
would ask for the release of the boys ar
rested for throwing the eggs. 1 am sure
1t was an act of thoughtlessness, and their
arrest has doubtless been a sufficient
lesson to them and others" The chief
Of police released the prisoners, as after
Mr. Bryan had written his letter asking
for their release it was evident that there
would be no prosecution II the prisoners
were arraigned Before the prisoners had
been released word was received from both
