his sorrow at not being able to be present.
At the direction of the President Secre-
tary Hay replied in a message which was
also signed by Admiral Dewey, saying that
all of them wished for Mr.. Hobarts speedy
recovery and an early return TO duty.
No Speeches or Toasts.
The dinner was marked by the absence
of speechmaklng and no toasts of any kind
Nere drunk. Shortly after 10 o'clock the
President and guests retired to the smok-
ing room, where general conversation was
engaged until IL O'Clock.
Admiral Dewey was one Of the first to
leave and was quickly followed by the
remaining members OF the party.
After a week of parades. set speeches,
and general patriotic pandemonium, it
must have been soothing to Admiral Dew
ey's artistic taste-of- course he has artistic
taste-to note that the florists of the White
House had spared him befiowered ships
and arches.
The uniforms of the Marine Band made
a glowing mass of crimson against the
greenery of the conservatory palms, and
the electric lights sparkled on bullion and
gold lace, but no decorative tributes in
red, white, and blue immortelles on
mounted wire were needed TO impress the
company with the fact that the President
Of the United States had invited them
there 10 meet in social union the greatest
hero of the age.
Miss Long and Miss Wilson accompanied
the Secretary of the Navy and the Sec
retary OF Agriculture to spend the evening
informally with Mrs. Mckinley.

DEWEY AT THE CLUB.
He Receives a Warm Reception at
the Metropolitan.


Admiral Dewey remained at the Mclean
residence during the greater part of the
afternoon. Governor Smith and his aide
made their cali brief and shortly before
O'Clock Admiral Dewey started for walk.
The crowd had diminished considerably,
but those who were on the street instantly
recognized him and cheered loudly. Dur
ing the afternoon word was brought to
him that a number of his club friends
would like to see him at the Metropolitan
Club. They were anxious to see him, but
did not want TO disturb his rest, and it
was explained that they would await his
coming TO the club. 1t was not surprising,
therefore, that Admiral Dewey should walk
toward the Metropolitan Club. II is but
two squares from the McLeans' and he
stroiled Ieisurely along Seventeenth Street
until he reached the club house.
AS he reached the steps he stopped and
looked for nearly "a minute at an inscrip-
ton over the entrance saying Welcome
Home" The members of the club had no
warning as to when the Admiral would
arrive, and many Of them were reading
and smoking when he started up the steps
One of the first to see the Admiral was
Col. Francis Michler. of General Miles
staff and soon everyone at the club had
rushed into the hall to greet him. The
reception was entirely informal and the
only persons present not members OF the
club were several of the Governors of
States who were guests of the club.
Among these were Governor Smith of Yer
mont, Governor Lowndes of Maryland, and
Governor Wolcott of Massachusetts,.
Admiral Dewey greeted them all cordially
and chatted short time with his intimate
friends After sDendiug nearly an hour at
the club he walked back 10 the Mclean
house. accompanied by several of the MEM
bers, reaching there almost exactly at
O'Clock. He then prepared for the dinner
al the White House. The Admiral retired
soon after his return from the state dinner.
He will probably call on the President this
afternoon, and the subject of the Philippines
may be informally discussed. Admiral
Dewey is desirous of witnessing one of the
yacht races, but will probably remain here
for several days 10 come.

fell on an average of or 10 points the
day the message was received.
Before 1922 the Dutch laid claim TO the
territory as far as the Essequibo River,
Spain holding the territory on the west
side In 1914 Great Britain acquired this
territory without specific boundaries be-
ing named In 1922 Venezuela secured her
independence and succeeded to the rights
of Spain west OF the Essequibo. In 1889
Sir Robert Schomburgk surveyed a line
which has been the basis of the English
claim Nine different boundary lines have
been proposed by the British during the
dispute. In 1874 Venezuela offered the Es-
sequibo as a boundary, and England the
Morocco. Lord Aberdeen then proposed
compromise line. Great Britain aimed to
secure the basin of the Cayini River and
its tributaries, the Yurariri and the Yura-
ran, the mountains enclosing the basin be-
ing full of gold bearing rocks. 1t would
also seem that the recent enlargement of
the claims of Great Britainawas for the

In the treaty of Washington, ,asigned Feb
ruary g 1897, it was provided that a tri-
bunal consisting of five members should be
chosen to act as a final board ofiarbitra-
ton between GreaI bTlLdlU anu FtHeZueld.
Baron Herschel and Mr.. Richard H. Col
Inns, justice of the British Supreme
Court of Judicature, represented Great
Britain, while Venezuela chose !. as her
champions Chief Justice Fuller and Justice
David ]. Brewer, both of the United States
Supreme Court. The fifth member of the
board-M de Mertens, Chief Counselor OF
the Russian Foreign Office-was chosen by
the other four, according to the provisions
of the Washington treaty.
AT the sittings of the tribunal the chief
agent of Venezuela has been DR.. Jose Ma
ria de Rojas, assisted in the conduct of the
case by former President Benjamin Har-
rison as chief counsel, with Benjamin F.
Tracy former Secretary of the Navy, and
Mr.. S. Maliet-Prevost, former Secretary of
the Venezuelan Commission, as assistant
counsel. Sir Richard Webster has been
chief counsel for Great Britain.
The officials of the Government do not
deny the statement credited to Charles d.
Pierce, the representative OF the Orange
Free State in New York. that President
Steyn, of the Free State, had asked Presi-
dent Mckinley to use his good offices to
persuade neutral nations to propose arbi-
Transvaal. While the officials are very
reticent concerning the matter, it was
learned last night that the tender had
been formally made and as formally de-
clned The reasons for the declination
are not obtainable, as the correspondence
was between President Mckinley and
President Steyn, and is regarded as con-
Dental although of an official character.

GREAT BRITAIN PLEASED.
The Comment of the London Press
on the Paris Award.

Inc comment OF the LONDON Press
on the Paris Award.
LONDON, Oct. 4.-The morning papers
editorially express satisfaction with the
decision of the Venezuelan tribunal of ar
bitration. Some profess Indifference re-
garding the tribunals judgment that
Point Barima belongs to Venezuela. All
point out that Venezuela's rejection of the
reasonable, even generous offers of Lord
Aberdeen and Lord Rosebery recoils upon
herself, for acceptance would have given
her far more than she now gets. The hope
is generally expressed that the people of
the United States will recognize that there
was no foundation for Mr. Cleveland's as
sumption that Great Britain was bullying
a helpless weailing.
The Daily News says that the tribunal
was brilliantly successful example of
the way nations ought to settle their diff
ferences. Lord Salisbury will be sincerely
congratulated by friends and opponents.
Seldom las the blessing pronounced upon
peacemakers been more fully bestowed 81
The Standard says that fair minded
Americans will admit that the award is
sufficient condemnation of the virulent
attacks awakened by Mr.. Cleveland's atti-
tude II believes that the change in the
United States irritation toward Great
Britain into generous friendship was
largely due to American politicians. who
realized that Mr. Cleveland was mistaken.
The Times recalls that Lords Aber-
deem, Granville, and Rosebery were all
willing to relinquish Barima-s It contends
that as the award gives freedom Of nayi-
CATION on the Barima and Amakuru rivers
the possession of Barima is immaterial.
The Times thinks that Great Britain,
throughout, was not merely fair, Sbut very
generous. -
The Chronicle" says that the decision
viii be heartily welcomed llas confirming
the principle of national conciliation and
as removing another obstacle to COM
plete mutual understanding between Great
Britain and the United States. r.

SAVANNAH, Oct 3.-This morning
President williams, of the Savannah Cot
ton Exchange, received from Messrs.
Charlton, Mackall & Anderson, attorneys
for the exchange, their opinion as to the
responsibility of the Western Union Tele
graph Company for the losses sustained in
the dealings in cotton on the exchange
last Friday owing to the erroneous reports
as to spots and futures sent over the wires
of the Western Union Telegraph Company.
The attorneys hold the telegraph company
liable for what loss was sustained. The
decision was posted in the exchange this
afternoon. The attorneys advise that by
reason OF incorrect kilograms OF Fridays
market the telegraph company is liable to
the exchange for not only actual loss Of
money, but any loss that can be computed
in money; that individual members of the
exchange are entitled 10 recover from the
telegraph company actual losses sustained
by the sale or purchase of cotton; that
the exchange is not liable to Its members
for any loss. and that no claims can be
recovered arising from dealings in futures.
Under the State law nothing can be re-
covered for money lost in dealing in fu-
lures and the attorneys so advised.
