tablished in the position Of the Dutch.
He presumed the American counsel
took an utterly different view of the
construction of both the Munster and
Utrechts treaties and thought the ar
guments advanced by American coun-
sci We're not characterized by that
breadth which might be expected from
such eminent counsel.
The representative Of Great Britain
then took up the terms of the treaty of
arbitration and laid great stress on the
British contention that there is con-
tract between Venezuela and Great
Britain and not between the Spaniards
and the Dutch. The tribunal, he con-
tended, had to decide the boundary be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana at
the present time and not between the
Spaniards and Dutch in 1914. Counsel
then said that in order to clear up any
misunderstanding he announced that
Great Britain recognizes Venezuela as
the successor of Spain and he submitted
that the boundary as it might have
been settled in 1914 was not the same
as ought to be defined to-day.
Respecting the so years title clause,
Great Britain submitted that it ought
to come back from the date of the con-
clusion of the treaty of arbitration.
Counsel was adverse to holding that so
ever might be the paramount title of
the other power, as this would cut both
ways. Where such case was proved
the matter could be settled in one of
three ways-by DETECTING the boundary
line with territorial compensation else
where. without territorial equivalent,
or by the payment of compensation.
adding that the tribunal has absolute
discretion in the matter
Sir Richard Webster spoke in a clear
voice and the arbitrators and counsel
followed his speech closely. making
notes and occasionally asking him to
clear up a doubtful point. The MEM
bers of the tribunal were photographed
this afternoon grouped on the steps at
the entrance of the foreign office. The
officials of the foreign office provided
the commissioners and their staffs with
a substantial luncheon in a hall ad-
joining the court room.

MR.. HOGE OFFERS $1,000.
1t Is Conditional on the Board Raising
the Other 5000.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena. June 15.-fhe board of trustees
OF the Montana Wesleyan university feel
elated over an offer they have received
from a well known citizen of Anaconda
of cash subscription of 81 900 toward the
fund it has been decided to raise for the
purpose of enlarging the university. At
the recent meeting of the board it was de
eided that If the money could be secured
additional quarters would be negotiated
for here in~town. as the present quarters
are too limited for the growing needs of
the university. An offer was made of an
advantageously located and commodous
building for the sum of $4,000 figure
considerably less than the actual cost of
the property. Ever since receiving the
offer the board of trustees has been en-
deavoring to raise the funds required.
Some progress was made and to-day a
letter from William l.. Hoge of Anaconda
was received by President Van Scoy.
which, 1t is believed. will speedily bring
about the end sought to be attained. Mr..
Hoge makes very muniticent offer to
the institution. He says he stands ready
to give the university the sum named
whenever he has assurances that the re-
manning 5000 will be raised by the board.
Mr. Hoge says his offer will be open for
60 days, as at the expiration of that poriod
sent some time.
The only condition he places upon the
gift is the assurance that the balance OF
the money will be raised. Mr.. Hoge has
always been a staunch friend of the uni
versity, and his splendid offer has further
testified his faith in the institution. Pres
ident Van Scoy, speaking of the gift said
it was most welcome, and would. he
trusted result in other Montanans helping
la mt rrit 10 al-
ready from other sources that at least
81 900 in addition to Mr.. Hoge's contribu-
ton can be secured. The question of rails
ing the balance of the $1,000 will be seri-
ously considered a a meeting to be held
here next Monday night, for which cal
has been issued by 100 well known citizens
At that meeting it will be explained that
the money must be raised within the next
60 days so as to make Mr.. Hoge's offel
available.
1.-THE building that the university pro
poses to acquire will be devoted entirely
to higher education" said Dr. Van Scoy
''The present quarters are rather made
uuate for college purposes, and for the
natural expansion of a young and growing
institution more room is needed. and the
quarters we have in view can be secured
at a bargain from the owners. The en-,
| largement of the institution by acquiring
more floor space in town will not NEAR
| the abandonment of the property at the
| university site. That will also be i'm
proved and used on a larger scale for s
| preparatory institution to tti students fol
| the higher education to be had in the col
| lege proper"
In conclusion DR.. Van Scoy said he de-
| sired to thank the Standard for recen
| publication of review of the past col
| lege year.

of Himself.


Paris. June 15.-The persons arrested
in connection with the riots at Auteuil
when President Loubet was assaulted
on the race course were arraigned in
the 10th correctional court to-day. Many
representatives of high society were
present
The presiding judge, in the course OF
his address, recalled the fact that the
Comte de Dion, one of the prisoners,
was mixed up in a similar affair in
1880. The comte replying, affirmed that
he was not a royalist, but republican,
adding that, however, he desired IAN
other kind of a republic" He added
that he had no idea of going to Auteuil
with the object of engaging in dem
onstration, but claimed he had the priv
ilege, like any other French citizen, of
cheering for the army. He denied hav-
ing struck Police Director Touny. He
asserted that he had taken lessons in
fencing, boxing and kicking and that
if he had hit anyone the person struck
would not have been capable of coming
to court and defying him to-day.
The Comte de Dion also said that not
being senator or a deputy, his only
| chance to speak was in public places
and he wished to prove to President
Loubet that all the world hated him.
The other defendants denied the
charges made against them, saying
they merely cheered for the army and

TAKING THEIR PAY.
Cuban Soldiers Are in Hurry to Get
Their Money.

Their Money.
Havana, June 15.-Lieutenant Colonel
Bisbee paid $50 men a Guanaiay yester-
day and there are 800 still unpaid. The
arms of those who have been paid have
been delivered to the alcalde. Many of
these who had no arms demanded arms
from the mayor but were refused. The
men then assumed a threatening attitude
and the officers in command ordered
troops to guard the building and tele-
graphed to General Brooke asking permis-
sion to extend the time of payment, as
some of the Cubans are entirely destitute
and many of them without means of re-
turning to their homes. A guard was
quartered in the town all night and the
signal office was kept open waiting for
the governor generals message granting
an extension of the time. The Cubans
bought all the revolvers in town, and
Cuban officers having rifles sold them for
as much as s25. The arms will probably
be returned if the men are not paid, as
they were only purchased as a means of
obtaining the paymasters recognition.
