ALL A MISTAKE.
The Venezuelan Commission Has Not De-
cided the Boundary Line.

The Venezuelan Commission Has Not De-
cided the Boundary Line.
Washington, March 21-Secretary Malet-
Provost of the Venezuelan commission this
afternoon issued the following statement:
During the past week reports have been
industriously circulated to the effect that
the commission has reached decision
with reference to the boundary question ia
yorable to Venezuela. This having been
denied the report has been circulated In
another form, and 1t Is now asserted that
while the commission as body has reached
no such conclusion, the commissioners indi-
yidually entertain the views referred to. 1t
must be evident to all that so long as any,
thing remains to be examined and consid-
cred the commissioners are not in a posi-
ton to form an opinion respecting the mer-
neither the commission nor the individual
commissioners are as yet in possession of
ali the evidence. The papers presented by
Venezuela are but part of what has been
promised The blue book of the British
government while remarkably full and de-
fermined, does not include all the docu-
ments which may be adduced in support of
its contentious. The commission has not
and will not limit itself to the consideration
of what those two governments will pre-
sent. 1t has been engaged upon independ-
emit lines of inquiry and will continue to fol-,
low these lines until all its sources of infor-
nation shall have been exhausted. Then,
and not until then. will 1t BERN position
to form any opinion or to make any report.

Waller Was Released Last Month.

washington, March 2.-Secretary O1ney
said today that he could not understand the
basis for the story from Paris published
today that John l.. Waller had been re-
leased yesterday from prison, as Waller
was released last month. Walters rela-
tives here say he is in England. A dis
patch stating that Waller was still in prison
was published in American papers about a
week ago. The statement that Waller was
released yesterday probably arose from
the formal exchange of notes between AM
bassador Eustis and the French ministry
for foreign affairs closing the Waller in
cident Waller was released just one month
ago today and the state department was
probably notified by cable of the fact by

on Her Trial Trip.
Philadelphia March 21.-The battleship
Massachusetts dropped anchor in the
Delaware river this evening at deep wa
ter point off Wilmington, after having
been put through a most satisfactory
trial yesterday off the Delaware capes
by her builders, the Cramps, of this city
The ship made a record of 1876 knots in
an hours run, which translated means
nearly 1872 miles of the land variety
Should she do as well when called upon
for her official trial under government
auspices, she will net the Cramps $50 900
in premiums, every quarter knot in ex-
cess of Is knots, the required speed, mean
ing $4,000. That the vessel will easily
accomplish this, and probably do better
is not doubted by the builders, for the
trial just completed was made under
anything but favorable conditions
that surround an official trial The gov
eminent will be notified Immediately
that the battleship is ready for her Of
fetal trial. and this will probably take
place in month If possible she will be
locked before it occurs at Port Royal,
s. c. and her underwater body thor
ourhly cleaned. She will come up to
her berth at the ship yard tomorrow.

The Bite of Hog.

1t Is serious thing to be bitten by any
animal for even though there may be no
poisonous glands, the saliva In the mouth
of animals that bite is always more or
less poisonous. The bite of the hog is
more or less poisonous The bite of the
hog is more apt to be serious than that
of any other domestic animal. 1t re-
qures skill and activity to handle large
numbers of hogs without endangerlng
those who hold them. The hog is an
omniverous eater, and 1t Is not at all
particular about getting particles of dirt
or excrement with it's food. Old hogs,
which are most apt to bite, often destroy
mice and snakes, and, though they get no
venom in their mouths. it will poison
wherever such saliva reaches abraded
skin No one who has a sore on his hand
should be called upon to assist in itch
ering hogs. as he may be infested from
contact with the saliva without being
bitten. In all ca SEES of bite or cut wash
of some antiseptic should be apple d.
Diluted carbolc acid in the proportion Of
one to fifty of water is good. as is also
a. weak dilution Of corrosive sublimate, in
proportion of one to one or two thou.
sandths parts of pure water. These
poisons thus diluted do no harm. and
they will prevent poisons from working
in cuts and bruises of any kind

dies. Upon the healthy action of the
digestive organs, the blood depends for
its richness and purity. If digestion
stops, poisonous matter accumulates and
is forced into the blood-there is no
place else for it to go. Before this, the
fer1nented, putrid matter has indicated
its presence by making the breath foul,
the complexion sallow and muddy, the
eyes dull and the head heavy. By and
by, the germ infected poisonous matter
in the blood causes weakness or inha1n-
nation in some part of the body. Then
comes rheumatism, scrofula, consump-
ton, liver complaint, kidney trouble and
half a hundred other ills.
The bad breath is danger signal.
