The enterprising city authorities of
a small northern borough have been
trying the experiment of sprinkling a
street with sea water. They find that
such water binds the dirt together be-
tween the paving stones, so that when
it is dry no loose dust is formed to be
raised by the wind; that sea water
does not dry SO quickly as fresh water
so that when salt water has been used
one load of it is equal to three loads of
fresh water. The salt water which is
deposited on the street absorbs mois-
ture from the air at night, whereby the
street is thoroughly moist during the
early morning, and has the appearance
of having been freshly sprinkled.

the real stone is invariably colder

aot give reason for the difference,

greater density of the real stones,

University of st. Petersburg and author
of "Maertens' Treatise" the standard
book of reference on all the treaties of
the world. Among the counsel for
venezuela before the tribunal are ex-
President BENJAMIN Harrison and ex-
Secretary of the Navy B. F. Tracy.
Whatever the tribunal may decide is
final, and must be considered a definite
settlement of all the questions referred
to it by both sides.
The following is brief outline of the
history of Guiana, the claims of Great
Britain and the arguments of Vene-
zuela:
Sir Walter Raleigh landed in Guiana
near the close of the sixteenth CEN
fury, and soon afterward the Neither
lands and France divided with Great
Britain the control of the country. The
English did not succeed in holding
their own in the newly-opened coun-
try, and when Raleigh arrived with an
expedition in 1916 to reassert British
power his forces met with disaster.
Upon his return to England the in
trepid explorer and colonizer was inn
prisoned and executed. During the war
between England, Holland and France
in the seventeenth century Guiana was
taken and retaken several times. What
is now Dutch Guiana was seized by
Great Britain in 1869, but was coded
back to Holland in exchange for the
Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam,
now New York. In 1903 the province
of British Guiana was acquired by Eng
land, but was not formally coded by
Holland until 1914. The territory given
up by the Dutch government included
the provinces of Demarara, Berbice
and Esequibo, the river of the latter
name being claimed as the correct
boundary by Venezuela. However. the
boundary between Guiana and Vene-
zuela and between Guiana and Brazil
was never accurately established, and
this fact was the ostensible cause OF
the dispute which is now being settled
by the Paris tribunal. Incidentally 1t
might be mentioned that similar mis-
understanding, based on the same
cause, is now awaiting settlement be-
| tween France and Brazil.
Venezuela's claim that the Esequibo
is the legal boundary has been re-
peatedly acknowledged by England,
notably in 1S41, when British court
in Demarara recognized the South
American republics jurisdiction over
| the Maraca river, which is located but
short distance west of the Esequibo
river; and again in 1874. when similar
ruling was made by the authorities OF
British Guiana.
| In 1s41 the British government sent
Robert Hermann Schomburgk, Ger
| man geographer and botanist, toAthe
South American continent to survey a
boundary line between British Guiana
and Venezuela. Without even the sem
blance of authority, Schomhu,gk took
the mouth of the Orinoco as a starting
point, instead of the Esequibo, and ran
an uncertain line in a southerly direc-
ton, giving to the British colony &c, 00O
or more square miles of territory and
the right bank of the Orinoco delta
Venezuela declined to recognize the
survey made by the German botanist
and protested vigorously against it. In
1874 q new British line was run from q

ty.
GEN. MILES INDICATED
He Was Justified In His Alle-
cations But He Acted
On Questionable
Evidence.

NEW YORK, April ia Washing
ton special to the Journal today says
that the most important findings Of the
court of inquiry with reference to Gen.
Miles will be substantially as follows:
''We find there was ample cause for
the allegations of the major-general
commanding in reference to canned
roast beef and refrigerated beef at the
time the allegations were made, but
that upon testimony the court has dis.
approved the reports made to the ma
jor-general, on which his allegations
were made"
The court will not recommend any
specific action against General Miles.
So far as its intention bas become
known, it will ind:
1.-TLat canned roast beef was un-
palatable rs a part of the fixed army
ration.
2.-That the canned roast beef as it
left the various manufactures was
wholesome and putritive.
3.-That the refrigerated beef was
not chemically treated.
4.-That it was the only practical
substitute for fresh beef in Cuba and
Porto Rico.

The HERALD is reliably informed
that within the next thirty days Ell
Peso will be equipped with a popular
p. ice play house. Negotiations have
about been completed and the capital
will be furnished by New York and
Dallas people.
1t is the intention of the promoters
to erect building which will afford
all the comforts of fresh air and light
during the summer months, aud in the
winter it will be closed and properly
heated.
M. Simon, of Dallas, is at present in
the city making all necessary arrange
ments for the new venture.
There seems to be no question but
what such an undertaking would prove
q great success in Ell Paso, if good live
amusement is furnished the public.
Ell Paso is considered good show

strated on many occasions during the
past winter, when Myar opera house

opinion of those best acquainted with

his advisors it is not considered likely
that the plan of the monetary conven-
tion will be altogether approved by the
committee. The views of the senatori-
al finance committee will be solicited
and several days will be spent In ex-
haustive discussion before the salient
features of the plan can be agreed
upon. The conference was called TO

ative Henderson of Iowa.
