TIE KENEzuE1A ARARn.

1t would be a very happy state of
things If each of the parties to the
Venezuelan arbitration could be con
WINGED that it got the best Of the de-
cision. Compromises are not apt to turn
out that way, but rather to provoke
discomfort on both sides, and in this
case Venezuelans claim to have been
sighted. OF course neither Venezuela
nor Great Britain got as much as it
claimed, for each claimed more than it
expected to get, but on the whole there
seems no serious reason to find fault
with the award, and the fact that the
commissioners were unanimous in their
decision guarantees the substantial
justice Of the settlement. Venezuela
saves by far the most important in
terest she had at stake, namely, the
complete control of the Orinoco river,
especially at its mouth, while the Brit
ish frontier is set back beyond Point
Barima, and at the same time consider
able concessions of territory are made
to Venezuela on the coast and in the
interior. On the other hand, Great
Britain obtains very much the larger
share Of the disputed area, and in it
are gold mines and forests that are APP
praised at high value, so that British
partisans maintain that the correctness
Of the Schomburgk line has been justi-
fed. This is an exaggeration, and the
Venezuelans, on their part, may reflect
that they have saved more than they
could have done had they gone to war.
In the present purturbed condition of
their country, the decision will prob
ably awake little interest For Amer
leans the most gratifying feature of the
award is that quarrel that has lasted
quarters of a century has been
disposed of by American methods, and
in such manner as to forbid charges of
bullying and aggression. Neither this
British nor the Venezuelan contention
is completely upheld, for the new line
ordered by the tribunal is ITS miles
east of that drawn by the British, and
40 miles west of the extreme venezu-
elan claim.

Members of the Order Say Its Erection

Worcester and Anchoria lodges of odd
Fellows met last night, but refused to
give out anything to the press in re-
gard to what was done.
The statement had been published
that the special purpose Of the meet
ings was to give Endorsement to the
project to build an Odd Fellows temple
in this city at cost Of 100000 from
plans drawn by ]. William Patston. the
architect. The building, it was given
out. is to be six stories high and will be
purely an Odd Fellows temple in the
strictest sense of the term, without
stores or rented rooms
The Spy reporter received the same
reception from both lodges. Before ad
Journment every member was pledged
to secrecy. To use the words of O prom

Mr.. Bryan is much too late in ex-
planning the cause of his defeat in 1896
He told his Texas hearers that not all
the votes that were cast for him were
counted, and many were counted that
were not cast against him. 1t is pity
that he should not have discovered
this earlier and given specifications. 1t
is pleading the baby act to set UP the
cry of intimidation and fraud at this
stage in history. His friends should
advise him to be more prompt after he
is defeated in 1900.
