A DISTURBED GLOBE.

The London Globe is unnecessarily
excited about the invitation issued by
the United States Venezuelan boand-
airy commission to the governments of
Venezuela and Great Britain to sub
nit to the commission any evidence
they have regarding the subject of con-
troversy. The Globe calls it demand
and says "Great Britain will never al
low this monstrous claim to determ mine
the territory of British colony with
in its jurisdiction"
The London thought molder seems
needless of facts. The commission has
not demanded" the production of evil
dence from either Venezuela or Great
Britain, but in spirit of friendly can
dor has indicated it's desire aud will
lingness to consider any evidence these
governments might like to furnish to
assist the body to ascertain the merits
OF the South American republics claim
to the disputed territory. Aud the
commission was created not for
the purpose of directly decid-
ing the difference between Eng.
land and Venezuela, but to find
ont whether the latter country
is correct in its contention that Eng
lands claim is wrong and if persisted
in to the point of taking forcible pos
session of the ground in dispute would
be an act of wanton aggression which
the United States could not tolerate if
they adhere to the Monroe doctrine.
The United States are seeking this in
formation for their own satisfaction.
If the Venezuelan view is substanti-
ated by the commission, this country
will not insist that England accept the
decision of that body, but it will insist
that she try her case in court of arbi-
tration. Il, on the other hand, the
commission reports that the evidence
sustains the British claim, there will
be no just reason for the United States
continuing the demand that the mat
commission was solely created for the
purpose of finding ont whether or not
this country has reasonable grounds
for interference from its own point of
view-a point of view which, as we
have said before, was not original with
President Monroe and which has been
from time immemorial utilized by
Great Britain and other old world
powers. The Globe should revolve on
the axis Of reason, and keep itself in
the system of intelligence.

The Musical Bicycle,
or Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The columns of The Star appear to be
open to those who desire to express views
concerning the proposition to attach con-
stantly ringing bells to all bicycles. l am
in favor of the proposition, not so much
because the chances of injury would there
by be lessened. but because of the harmo-
NOUS possibilities.
With 10000 bicycles fitted with bells at
tuned to different keys, going at varying
rates of speed, from the time of the dox-
oogy to the time of the jig, this city would
be a place of sweet sounds, unrivaled in
any age. He with musical talent and inee-
nuity could fit up chime to play fumes to
suit his riding mood On Sunday morn
ing the sweet religious airs would fill the
city with peaceful music, while late at
night might be heard the notes of I'VE
Won't Go Home Til Morning" With a
leader such as Sousa, what a fine effect
could be produced by say, hundred BIZ
cycles in parade! No Swiss bell ringers
could equal the music so made-wedding
marches, funeral dtrges, anything in the
line of music; and oh, what a joy to the
scorcher will be that long, thin, strident
streak of sound which he will leave a mile
behind him as he dashes around the turn
at 18th street andIthe avenue! l see but
one objection to the continuous bells The
hand organ man viii be thrown ont of hrs
mess, and tie city ail thus lose the license
fees which they pay. or should pay, for
being permitted to live. For if the plan is
carried out to its logical sequence all We
hicles will be fitted with chimes. The baby
carriage will then furnish the character Of
music SO dear to the children, thus render
ing the organ useless The carriage, upside
down, can be made to play accompanl-
ments to vocal music. The bass, the tenor.
the soprano and the alto sitting around
that useful family vehicle, each with a
short stick, like our grandnothers used to
turn the spinning wheels, turning the wheel
to which is attached the bell suited to his
or her voice. What an inspiring scene. and
how calculated to fit the young mind
for the stern duties of domestic life;
1 trust that an order will soon he issued
which will result in making Washington
the musical city of the world
