Herbert Wolcott Bowen came to
Washington as Nenezuela's plenipo-
tertiary in the peace negotiations, on
mission which neither the diplomats
with whom he was to treat nor his own
government, through whose courtesy
he was permitted to assume the task,
thought could result in anything more
than protocol for the reference of
the entire case to The Hague for ar

United States minister at Caracas in
few weeks with the satisfaction of
having accomplished all and more than
President Castro hoped for, with hav-
ing received the hearty official and
personal approval of the officials of the
Washington government, from the
president and secretary of state down,
and with the public recognition of his
own and foreign countries an Amer

Mr.. Bowen is a native of Brooklyn,

Bowen, the distinguished editor and

February, 1856. He prepared for col

he entered Yale in the class of 70.
From Yale Mr.. Bowen went to Column

degree of IL. B. cum laude in 1881. He

enlist permanent resting place in the
grounds Of the institution which he
founded?" The very justice of the
proposition almost warrants one in
regarding it as foregone conclusion
that this step will be taken. The coun-
try is justly proud of the Smithsonian
institution. and If the funds at the
disposal of the directors are INSULT
cient to accomplish what is now pros
posed it is highly probable that con-
gress will be asked to make an ade-
quate appropriation. Washington
should be proud to contain the tomb of
James Smithson.
While scientists all over the country
are interesting themselves in this
question, the Washington papers and
the issues of Science are printing LETT
tiers from all sorts of people urging
that the country to which Smithson
left his entire fortune Ito promote the
increase and diffusion of knowledge

nor closes with the words: HE left
no descendants to care for his re-

NAME"
Smithson died in Genoa ON the 9th
Of June, 1929, at the age of rs. BY the
terms of his will his property of about
100000 was left to his nephew, then
to revert to the nephew's sons, with
the further provision that If he should
die childless the fund should be used
to endow just such an institution as
now exists. The gift was accepted by
act of congress in 1886, but it was ten
years later before the institution was
actually founded. In 1867 the fund was
increased to 81 ,000, 900 by congress.

decided by the union to drop the work

prospective turning of their. labors

enough money was raised by January

corporation, to which it had granted
financial, industrial and police con-
troll of Acre. The contract, Brazil
declared, was beyond the power of
the Bolivian government to make, as
it involved the partial surrender of
sovereignty, and was void because it
disposed of territory part of which
was claimed by Peru, and part by
Brazil. In the event of refusal to
break the whole contract Brazil in
sisted that the agreement to permit
tie syndicate to maintain police
force be annulled. Bolivia refused
to grant either demand. While these
negotiations were in progress rev
olution was started in Acre by men
who sought to make the district in
dependent. They were assisted by
the Brazilians. Bolivian troops were
sent into the district January goth to
suppress the insurrection, and on
January Goth Brazil announced that
it had decided to concentrate troops
in the adjoining states of Matte
Crosse and Amazonas. The reason
given by Brazil for its interest in the
contract with the syndicate is that
the establishment Of SO strong an
American company in the interior Of
South America would endanger the
surrounding republics. The United
States has been requested by Bolivia
to exercise its good offices to restore
amicable relations between that coun-
try and Brazil, and Independent me-
gotiations. are also in progress for

stirring incidents and of steady pro-
motion for merit. President Cleveland
made him consul general.to Spain in
1895, and he was serving in that capac-
ity at the time of the war with Spain.
He was the last American to leave the
enemy's country, and calmly stood on
the rear platform Of the train putting a
cigarette and laughing at the threats
of bowling mob of dons shortly be-
fore war was declared.
Mr.. Bowen, says the Washington
Star. is perhaps the only officer in the
consular or diplomatic service Of the
United States to-day who has served
in the four positions of consul, consul
general, minister resident and minis
ter plenipotentiary successfully. Pres
ident Harrison appointed him to his
first post at Barcelona; President
Cleveland retained him in the service
promoting him to be consul general to
Spain; President Mckinley elevated
him to the rank of minister at Teher.

Mr.. Bowen's career in Venezuela hae
been marked by UNMARRIED success. He
found the country exceedingly indif-
ferent, If not prejudiced, in it's attitude
to the United States as the result Of
several howard incidents. To-day he
is one of the most popular and trusted
men, native or foreign, in the republic.
President Castro confers with him
more frequently than he does with his
own minister of foreign affairs.
Indeed, the giant American, who is
all of six feet four and built proper
tionately, won the presidents admira-
tion in singular way. Castro had sent
for the minister one day to ask his adj
vice about an important state matter.
Mr.. Bowen discussed the matter with
his usual frankness. Castro's anger
was aroused at what Mr.. Bowen said,
and he proceeded to fly into a rage.
Mr.. Bowen, instead Of retreating in
dignantly, as many of his diplomatic
iconfreres had. done on previous occa-
sions. stood his ground and called the
president severely to task for his be-
havior. Castro's rage was soon passed,
and since that moment he has trusted
and respected the American who
showed he was not afraid to take is
sue with the Venezuelan chief execu-
tive himself.
A more painful task than that Of
openly differing with President Castro
fell to Mr.. Bowen when he came to
Washington as Venezuela's plenipo-
Tertiary. When the allies endeavored
to ignore him and appealed to the pres
ident without Mr.. Bowen's assent the
minister, with his characteristic force,
though it cost him sincere regret, de-
clared that as Venezuela's representa-
tive he could not consent to arbitra-
ton of the question of preferential
treatment, even by the president him
self. The minister's strenuous position
was personally applauded by President
Roosevelt, and its wisdom has been
demonstrated by subsequent events.

On more recent hunting trips in Colo

He was slightly wounded in the hand
