THOMAS B. REED DEAD
The Former Speaker Passed Away
in Washington.
All Day Sunday There Was a Stream
of Sympathetic Callers at the Ar
Iington Hotel Where the Body
Lay Awaiting Removal.

Washington, Dec. 8-Thomas Brack-
EFT Reed, former speaker of the house
Of representatives and for many years
prominent in public life, died here ear
ly Sunday morning in his apartments
in the Arlington hotel The immedi-
ate cause of death was uremia. Mr..
Reed had been confined to his bed
since Tuesday last.
At the bedside when he died were
Mrs. Reed and Miss Catherine Reed,
Drs. Gardner, Mcdonald, Bishop and
Goodnow and the nurses. Mr.. Reeds
mind was in such a state during the
day that he did not realize the serious
ness of his condition.
He was cheerful and conversing with
those about his bedside. When it be-
came apparent that he would not sur
vive his illness, the wife and daughter
were notified, and they remained con-
stantly at the bedside until the distin-
guished patient breathed his last.
With only a faint hope of saving his
life, oxygen was administered.
1t. was stated Saturday night that
Mr.. Reed had been suffering with
Bright's disease for some time. The
ailment reached the acute stage Satur-
day and furnished an additional cause
for alarm. Mr.. Reed passed away
peacefully and without pain.
The remains of Thomas Bracket
Reed left here Sunday afternoon for
Portland, Me-, his former home, where
the interment will take place on Tues
day afternoon. They were placed
aboard a special train leaving Wash
ington at 1850 o'clock and running as
the second section of the Federal Elk
press scheduled to arrive at Portland
Monday. Accompanying the body were
Mrs. Reed, the widow, Miss Catherine
Reed, the former speakers daughter,
Hon. Amos L. Allen, Mr.. Reeds sue
cessor in the house of representatives,
Mr.. Asher c. Kinds, Mr.. Reeds parlia-
mentary clerk while speaker. and Mr..
Augustus G. Payne, of New York, a
lifelong friend. At Mrs. Reeds request
there were no ceremonies of any kind
here and at Portland they will be of a
simple character.
During the entire day there was a
stream of sympathetic callers at the
Arlington hotel where the body of Mr.
Reed lay awaiting removal to the rail
road station. They included President
and Mrs. Roosevelt, members of the
cabinet and of the senate and house
of representatives and of the diplomat
ic corps. Many persons in private life
also called. Neither Mrs. Reed nor
her daughter saw any of the Visitors
who simply left their cards. 1t was
not generally known that the body of
the deceased would be taken from the
city Sunday and President Roosevelt
had invited Mrs. Reed and her daugh-
ter to be his guests at the white house
pending its removal. which invitation
under the circumstances they were
compelled to decline.
The body was enclosed in a casket
with heavy oxydized extension handles
and on the top was solid silver plate
on which had been engraved the fol
lowing inscription:

AN ISLAND IN DISPUTE.
Venezuela and Great Britain Claim
Ownership of Patos.

Washington, Dec. SIN Venezuela's
yellow book" for 1901, copy OF
which has been received in Washing
ton recently from the foreign Office at
Caracas are the exchanges between the
London and Caracas governments last
year in regard to the ownership OF
Patos island, which has been in dis
pute between the two countries for
many years. Significance attaches to
this correspondence in view of the APP
preaching crisis between Venezuela
and Great Britain, as it is not improb-
able that in the settlement of the
claims of British and German citizens
against Venezuela the Patos dispute
will also be involved. Reopening OF
the Patos question was caused by the
action of the Venezuelan gunboat Au-
gusto in January, 1901, in capturing
certain British subjects on the island.
When the Caracas authorities were
called to account by the London for
eign office the former replied by re-
newing their long-standing claim to
Patos and a diplomatic controversy
extending throughout the year was
the result.
Venezuela bases her claims to the
island on its proximity to the coast of
Carinria, from which it is distant only
three miles, claiming that it is tenet
of international law that country
commands waters within a marine
league of it's coast; that the interna-
tional law institute had defined the
territorial sea as six miles, whereas
the island of Patos is more than ten
miles from Trinidad, the nearest
British possession. Further, that the
treaty of March, 1916, explicitly con-
firms the title of Venezuela over the
islands near her coast which were
under the dominion of Spain in the
initiative period of Venezuelan indie
pendence.
In support of this contention the
Venezuelan authorities produce a let
ter from the royal Spanish minister
for state in 1873, in which he denies
that royal sanction ever was given to
the concession alleged to have been
made to the Ayuntanmiento of Trim
idad by the governor of Patos, .Huevos
and MonOs.
Great Britain advanced the conten-
ton that when she conquered the
island of Trinidad, in 1897, sovereignty
over Patos also was obtained and so
recognized by the Madrid government;
that Patos has remained in the peace
full possession of Great Britain for
more than a century, during 20 years
of which time Venezuela advanced no
counter claim, and that the official
map of Codazzi colors the island of
Patos the same as Trinidad, indicating
that both belong to the same country.
Being unable to agree on even the
minor points of the controversy, the
British minister near the close of last
year informed the Venezuela foreign
Office the he would make no further
representations in the matter, as there
was nothing to be gained in continu-
ing the correspondence. 1t is under
stood that President Castro will ask
that the question be settled by arbi-
tration, proposition to which the
British government will hardly accede,
in view of its contention that the own
ership of Patos is so clearly British
as not to furnish a suitable subject for
arbitration.
