WILL NOT BUY GUNS.
If Britain Wants Border Defenses
Against Venezuela Let Her
Foot the Bill.

Washington, d. c., June 22-Word
reaches official quarters here that Sir
Augustus Hemming, the new governor
general of British Guiana, is meeting
with the same reverses which marked
the administration of his predecessor
Sir Francis Lees, in executing the
policy of Mr.. Chamberlain to buy Max
i'm guns for the Venezuelan frontier
Sir augustus recently had his first meet
ing with the high court, or legislative
body of British Guiana. He had been
appointed to succeed Sir Francis largely
because of the defeat of Mr.. Chamber
lain's propositions for developing the in
terror liz the neighbOrhood of the disput-
ed boundary along the Cuyuni river and
fortifying it. It was believed the diplo-
macy of Sir Augustus would be more
effective in dealing with the cOlOnists.
The mails just received here brings the
details of his first meeting with the high
court In an address of welcome to the
governor, Mr.. Ingalls,. speaking for the
court, referred incidentally to the Fene
zuelan trouble. He said his eXcelency
had arrived at dark time in the history
of the colony, but they hoped that the
cloud Oyerhanging them would soon pass
and that sunshine would appear.

lines proposed by Mr.. Chamberlain last
fall. 1t was in the form of Il resolution
reciting that as Il survey had been au-
thorized to a point on the Esqulbo coast
or the Lower Cuyuni river, it was now
eXpedient to extend the survey between
the Kartuma mad Barima rivers. The
resolution authorized the expenditure of
$4,000 for the survey.
The government secretary explained
that it was expected to nave a railway
eighteen miles long in this district. He
urged its advantage to the gold fields.
without referring to its military and
strategic value, to which Mr.. Chamber
lain had referred in issuing the previous
survey
Opposition to the plan soon developed
in the court. led by Mr. Dargan. He
said he understood the government al
ready had made a contract with Mr..
Dandarde to build the railroad. adding
that 1t was a proposition that the gov
eminent should pay for Dandarde's sur
yey. Other members of the court spoke
in the same line.

ney-geneTal endeavOred to overcome the
opposition. They were warned. howey-
er. that if the resolution was put to 4
vote it would be defeated Thereup0n

resolution.
AS this was his step after arriving IN

colonial office. the enforced withdrawal
of the resolution was regarded as an

heart soon drove him back to the castle.
where for hours he paced patiently up

most of the rooms occupied by the Wis

again assembled at a banquet. Berg
mann hoped that Ada would be present
and he was not disappointed The sum-
mons to the meal had been given for the
third time, nearly all the other mem
bers of the house party were in the
drawing room when Ada's door at last
opened. Karl rushed forward and held
out his hand to her She started,
paused an instant on the threshold, then
hurried past him without turning her
head and swiftly vanished.
Karl stood as if he were turned to
stone. gazing after her retreating figure;
then forgetting the banquet and every
thing else, he FASTENED to his room and
wrote Ada a letter, in which he repeated
her during the preceding night, and
begged for an explanation of her recent
conduct This miSSiTe he gave to Ada
maid, with the urgent request to deliver
it to her mistress that very evening be-
fore she retired. Then he went out to
try to conquer his agitation by a walk
in the park, and when he thought that
he had regained his composure, he re-
turned to the drawing room to see and to
talk with Ada. The meal was over,
gaiety reigned throughout the various
groups. and storm of reprOaches for
his absence from the table assaulted him
on all sides. But he looked in vain for
Ada. She had retired Immediately after
dinner.
So she was now reading his letter.
Perhaps now she was answering him.
His heart throbbed wildly at this
thought He would gladly have made
another attempt to see Ada in her own
apartments, but he felt that he owed her
due reserve, and determined to have pa
thence until the next day.
When, on the following morning, he
came out of his bed chamber into the
ante-room he instantly saw on the table
a sealed package, which bore his address.
He tore the wrapper with trembling
hands and found within his own letter
and Il gilt-edged book. 1t was an Eng
lish copy of Shakespeare's ''Midsum-
ner Nights Dream" On the first page
in a wOman's delicate chirOgraphy were
the words: "a Midsummer Night S
Dream. July 3, 1855 Ada" That was
all. From the servant who appeared at
his ring. Bergman learned that the
package had been left by Mrs. Burgess
maid early that morning. Mrs. Burgess
had been gone half an hour.
