1t is admitted that Mr.. Moody's conol-

when the evangelist was seen at MS
hotel shortly before being taken to the
railway station he stated that he was
feeling very weak, and added:
II have had trouble with my heart
for a. good many years, but never felt
weak. as I do now. There is nothing
alarming about my condition, l be-
lieve."
Since last Sunday the evangelist has
been preaching in Convention Hall,
where the audiences on several occa-
sions have numbered fully 10000. Sew
eral times he has spoken with difficulty,
and has been compelled at times to sit
up all night, as he could not breathe

In the year 1914 England acquired from
the Dutch the right of possession OF TO-
600 square miles in Guiana. From 1889
to 1910, according to the line laid down
by Mr.. Schomburgk, the German natur-
alist and explorer, Great Britain calm
ly took possession Of 10000 square
miles of territory. In the year 1885,
however, Great Britain claimed 10000
square miles, following the various
notifications made on the initial
claims. By the year 1886 the claims, in
some mysterious manner, had increased
to 900 square miles, with every pro-
mise of further encroachments.
Venezuela never afficially recognized
these different boundary lines proposed
by Great Britain even as demarcations
of disputed territory, SO to-day the ter
ritory in dispute between British Gut
ana and Venezuela includes over 10000
square miles. Venezuela's title to the
land which she has been claiming,
which constitutes all of the territory
west of the Esseuuibo river, is based
on the right originally acquired by
Spain, of which country the present re-
public was a dependency up to 1910.

I speaking race. 1t must be confessed
that the negotiations that have been
taking place in Paris of late have been
of far more amicable and satisfactory
nature than were the international
communications of four yeas ago,
which all but plunged the United States
and England into a fratricidal war.
The Venezuelan question has always
been both a dangerous and annoying
one This big lawsuit of nations has
been going on for almost four years
now, and no expense has been spared
by either party to secure the best avail
able counsel. The primary cause Of
this big and expensive law-uit was
Great Britain's refusal to submit to ar
bitration the boundary line dispute be-
tween British Guiana and Venezuela.
The United States in the beginning took
no stand as to what was the true boun-
Diary line between these two countries
insisting only that Great Britain should
refer the matter to arbitration, as had
so often been urged by Venezuela, IN
order that the true line might be ascer-
tanned. In this long drawn out boun-
dairy dispute the British and the Amer
leans are practically the successors of
the Spanish sand the Dutch. The dis
puted territory itself was once the long
sought FL Dorado of Spanish and En-
glish sailors of the Elizabethan era.

Just at the present time England has
no less than three weighty boundary
disputes on her hands. One of these
three serious disagreements is that
over the Alaskan boundary, another is
the little row with France regarding
the Newfoundland coast encroachments
by French fishermen, and the last but
not least, is the new well known Vene-
zuelan boundary question, which has
hung like Damocles sword over the
peace of the Anglo-Saxon since the
belligerent message of Grover Cleveland
in 1895.
Besides these definite and tangible
territorial problems, there are, of
course, numerous other unsettled points
regarding the limits of British territory
in both Asia and Africa. In fact. there
is something in the moral constitution
of John Bull which has always made
him a very undesirable neighBor, as he

DETROIT, Much, August 2.-What-

eral Russell A. Alger, concerning re-

From o'clock, when the welcoming

a constant and spontaneous ovation.
Smiles and tears repeatedly strug-

insisted that "Alger's all right" and
no dissonant voice was heard.
