A Modern soIomon's Judgment.

The Greek ecclesiastical authorities
at Aleppo have been called upon to do
eide case which strongly recalls Solo
mons famous judgment. BY strange
coincidence a womAl and her daugh-
ter both gave birth to female child at
the same time. But the babies got
mixed. and as one of them was ugly
and the other pretty and healthy both
mothers claimed the latter. The elder
woman maintained that. as all her 9TH
or children were handsome, the ugly
child could not be hers,while her daugh-
ter claimed that, being young. hand
some and strong, she could not be the
mother of weak and ugly baby. The
religious chief of the town settled the
affair in a summary way. lie adiudged
the beautiful child TO the daughter on
the ground that, it being her first, the
occasion was not to be made one of hu-
initiation and disappointment, while
the elder mother could afford to foregD
her claim, since she had already had
several handsome Ohildren.-Constan.

There is a peculiar quality in high.
grade bicycle known as "life" which is
as difficult to explain as it is to under
stand by any rider other than an ex'
pert. 1t is something like the feeling
one experiences in riding well-bred
horse. Certain machines seem to be
possessed of this quality in an extraor-
binary degree, and respond 10 every
movement Of the rider like living
thing, while other machines, carefully
built and apparently right in every re.
spect, drag and ure as dead in riding as
a wheelbarrow. When every bearing
about machine is perfectly fitted,
with cones, axles and balls properly
tempered for the strain they have to
Withstand, and when every other part
is built in keeping, then that machine
will run easily and give its owner per
feet satisfaction. Such machine can.
not be turned out cheaply, and this ae.
counts for the fact that really high
grade machine viii always secure
comparatively high price.

Great Britain returned an impertinent
reply, stating that all territory within
the so-called Schomburg line was abso-
lutely hers and that she had nothing
to arbitrate" there. Claims west of that
line she was willing to submit to an in
ternational tribunal for adjudication.
Venezuela, on the other hand, insisted
that the EsequibO river was the reCog-
nized boundary and that the Pumeron
yiver was. at all events, the extreme
limit of disputed territory. Secretary
Greshams sudden death delayed the
American answer to the British note
declining arbitration, but when Secre-
tary Olney assumed the state portfolio
one of his first acts was the transmits
sion of this now historic document
which, together with Lord Salisbury's
answer, constituted the basis of Presi-
dent Cleveland's message of December
II. 1895.
In it the president declared the
claims urged by Great Britain to be a
direct violation of the Monroe doctrine,
which he designated as an unwritten
page of the American constitution. He
disavowed all intention of wishing to
interfere with British rights in her
South American colonies, but at the
same time protested against the exten-
sion of England's political system. In
order to avoid clash he asked congress
to appoint commission to investigate
and determine the true boundary line
between British Guiana and Venezuela,
and then went on to say that when that
commission had made its report the
United States should resist by every
means in its power, as a willful aggres-
sion upon its rights and interests, the
appropriation of any lands or the exer-
else of governmental jurisdiction over
any territory which, after inyestiga-
ton, we have determined of right be-
long TO Venezuela" Continuing, he
The Southern herald., 1899-09-01

said: ''In making these recommends
tions | am fully alive TO the RESPONSE
bilities incurred and keenly realize all
the consequences that may follow"
The congress responded patriotically
to the presidents message, and a COM
mission to determine the boundary in
dispute was appointed, consisting of
Justice Brewer, Andrew ID. White,
Frederic II. Coudert, ID. c. Gilman and
X. II. Alvey. For a short time war be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain seemed inevitable, but eventually
the London jingo element subsidized,
and the American commission con-
tinued its labors until February 81,
1897, when, through the instrumental
ity of the United States, treaty was
concluded between Great Britain and
Venezuela for arbitrating the subject
in dispute. This treat, stipulated that
the arbitration tribGtrl should consist
of five members--two to be selected by
Great Britain; one by the president of
the United States of Venezuela and one
by the justices of the supreme court of
the United States, the four to select a
fifth member who should be the presi-
dent of the tribunal. The British rep
resentatives are Chief Justice Russell
and Sir Richard Hem Collins; the pres
ident of Venezuela chose Chief Justice
Melville W. Fuller, and the justices Of

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 a similar
ruling was made by the authorities OF
British Guiana.
In 1871 the British government sent
Robert Hermann Schomburgk, a Ger
man geogrnpher and botanist, to the
South American continent TO survey a
boundary line between British Guiana
and Venezuela. Without even the sem
blance of authority, Schomburgk 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 10000
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 new British line was run from a
point on the coast east of Schom-
burgk's line, leaving the mouth of the
Orinoco in Venezuela, but DETECTING
far to the westward in the interior, SC
that the new claim covered really more
territory than the old.
The boundary established after
Schomburgk's survey is known as the
Aberdeen line. 1t started on the west
bank of the Maraca river and embraced
large tracts of mining country in the
southeastern section of Venezuela. An
other survey, made in 1891, created the
Granville line" IT added over 100
miles of coast line to the British claims
Afterward, and until 1887, new claims
were filed by Great Britain, until, at
the beginning of 1898, England includ-
ed all the territory on the right bank OF
the Orinoco near its mouth and its
course southerly for nearly 300 miles
in her demands. This strip of land in
cludcs the famous Yuruari gold mines,
whose riches, according to the reports
of prospectors, are incalculable. There
is no doubt that it was the discovery of
these mines which determined Great
Britain TO demand of Venezuela a re-
linquishment of territorial claims
whose justice had never been seriously
disputed. G. W. wEIPPIERT.

The Greatsat Triumph OF American

Commission.
fsn. ,lal coIrespondenee.l

The British-Nenezuela commission
now in session at Paris, France, is one
of the most important international
bodies which has ever been con-
vened for the purpose of arrang-
ing amieably a dispute which once
threatened to lead to war between
two great nations. In 1895 Great Britain
laid claims to vast tract of territory be-
longing to the SOdth American republic
of Venezuela, and was about to take
forcible possession of the same, in de-
fiance of all precedent ana the protests
of the Venezuelan government. fresi-
dent Cleveland, through Mr.. Gresham,
his secretary of state, protested against
the proposed robbery, and suggested
that the points at issue between the two
countries be submitted to arbitration.
