Col. j. F. Harvey's New Restaurant.

Col. J. F. Harvey has secured lease
on a store in the Tays and Andreas
block, where he will open 6rst-class
restaurant which will be conducted
after his usual liberal and up-to-date
fashion, offering to the public of Ell
Paso a restaurant which will provide
everything that helps TO satisfy the in
ner man, in fact all the market affords.
Both the regular meal and la carte
styles will be adopted. The colonel
and his wife both feel that their knowl-
edge and experience of the business,
added to their very large and extend
ed acquaintance which their past man
agement of the Alamogordo hotel and
CloudcroftPavilion, will at least entitle
them to fair share of patronage from
their many warm friends of Ell Paso

dealt so pleasantly in the past.

The international commission of arbi-

of 1897 rendered an award ON October 30
last whereby the boundary line between
Venen2uela and British Guiana is deter
mined. thus ending controversy which
has existed for the greater part OF the CEN
fury. The award. as to which the arbi-
traitors vera unanimous. while not meet
ing the extreme contention of either party
gives to Great Britain n large share OF
the interior territory in dispute and 10
Venezuela the entire mouth OF tho Grin
ocoF including Barima Point and the Ca
riboean lateral for some distance to the
eastward. The decision appears to be
equally satisfactory to both parties.
Venezuela has once more undergone a rev.
