THE trial of the Elephant Butte
dam case is on at Las Cruces this
week. The point to be settled is
whether the building Of a dam ut
Elephant Butte will be a menace TO
navigation at Brownsville, Texas.
The government has introduced AN
dayits from the oldest inhabitants OF
the lower Rio Grade who claim that
there used TO be much more water in
the river than there is now, aud that
the decrease has been caused by the
building OF dams on the headwaters
OF the river. 1t is probable that no
matter how Judge Parker decides the
case 1t will be taken to the supreme
court Of the United States. The
government is going TO beat this dam

THE DISPUTED VENEZUELAN LINES.
Sir Richard Webster Continues His Presen-
tation of the British Case.
Special Csth Dsipatch to THE srS.


PARIS. July 1l.-Resuming his argument OF
the British ease before the Venezuelan tribu-
nal TODAY Sir Richard Webster. after explain
ing Schomburgk's maps. continued his eNposi-
ton OF the completeness Of British jurisdiction
over the rivers. citing numerous cases OF legal
proceedings taken against Indians and others.
Noticing tho visit Of a Venezuelan gunboat to
Mora Creek Sir Richard explained that 1t went
on a kidnapping expedition. not for the pur-
pose OF exercising jurisdiction. He quoted
several cases OF serving summonscs on the
Barima River, which the natives obeyed. He
next dealt with SchomburGk's survey. tracing
his journey and pointing out evidence of Brit
ish possession reaching the Barima River,
whereas Venezuela does not adduce n single
solid fact to support her claim. Schomburgk
was satisfied. he said. that the Barima and its
tributaries were rightful property OF the Queen.
and considered the right bank OF tho Amacura
the true geographical boundary.
Replying to a question hy Justice Brewer.
Sir Richard Webster declared that England did
not assert that this line was binding upon Ven
czucla. but before Venezuela displaces this line
she must show n superior title. SchomburRk.
Sir Richard said. had modified the extreme
British claim in his 1889 line, following the
Cuyuni to Join the Barima whereas in lS42 he
selected the Amacura.
Sir Richard referred to the floating lightship
which had been placed in the channel opposite
Barima Point, pointing out that It had been
put there by private Ncnczuclans for trade pur-
poses and not by the Government authorities.
Sir Richard quoted Gov. Barkly's affidavit in
1897. in which he describes the state Of the
colony down to 1850. when Cohen was Gov
ernor. He afterward quoted Andres Levels
report in 1917 in which he describes the decay
OF the mission districts, Level being a Venez-
zna. ct hn oit tab
up with ths reading OF afdavts OF natives
taken in 1897.
Several jurisdiction sticks which had been
given to the chieftains by tho British authori-
ties being produce Justice Brewer facetiously
asked: DO we take these ?" Sir Richard Web
ster replietrthat the tribunal had been assem-
bled to decide that question.

RAILROADS ~ DENSE FORESTS.
Routes Now Surveying from tho Congo to
the Central African lakes.

When we hear that two railroad routes arc
surveying through the dense forest OF equato-
rial Africa in regions that have never been PEN
etrated by white men except when Emin Pasha
pushed through them Just before he was mur-
dered. it is easy to see that great changes are
occurring in Africa. Awhile ago men were ex-
ploring the land merely to improve the maps
md see il the country was worth anything.
Now they are entering new regions with the
sole purpose OF making preliminary survey for
railroads. Business. and not research, is giving
impetus to their efforts.
The Congo State has decided 10 have outlets
to the Indian Ocean ana the Nile as well as to
the Atlantic. 1t also desires to tap the great
central lake region and make a highway for
some Of its commerce to tho west and down
the Congo. There is another potent reason for
building the proposed railroads Beyond Stan
Icy Falls tho Congo aluents are so cut up by

and river route below the falls 20 railroads

is fully expected in Belgium that tn" building
