Washington, April 12.-The state de-
partment has been privately advised
of the arrival in New York, bound for
Washington, Of Senior Cabellero. who
was sent to Caracas as a special min
lister by President Reyes In the effort
to r%e-establish friendly relations be-
tween Colombia and Venezuela. The
department is further informed that
the mission was a failure because
President Castro absolutely refused
to deal with Senior Cabellero without
an undertaking in advance on the
part Of Colombia to relinquish to VEN
ezuela two of the eastern states Of
Colombia bordering on Venezuela, to
which Colombia's title had already
been confirmed by an arbitration.
President Reyes regarded this cesston
rs too high q price to pay for Presi-
dent Castro's friendship 80 the two
countries remain in a semi-hostile at
titude and President Reyes special
minister is coming to Washington to
see that the state department is &C
quainted with Colombia's true posi-
tdon.

THE POLAR ENTHUSIASTS.

Exploration of unknown lands has always been the most fascinating under taking that can possibly enlist the ener- gies of man. Moreover the achieve ments of successful explorers have been of greater and more enduring good than those of any others which shaped human destiny. Another thing, which may not be generally accepted as true, is that great explorers require qualities of higher order than those essential to any other men of renown. Measured by just standard Columbus was the greatest man of all time. But whether man possess remarkable tal- cnts ar not, when the passion for ex- ploration enters his soul it abides there while life entlurcs.
 So it will be with all conditions of men whose minds are now turning to polar research. Rich men become en- thu-ed and contribute their money and brave men contribute their lives, and before bong the world will learn what i' left tu be ltarnc,I about thi4 region where heretofore it has been, in the. language of Peary, impossible tn prophecy or t,rvcast what is beyond thr horizon uf actual vision

Three months more and if she can not earn her own living we will have some rich miner adopt her, the same as the Fairbanks l News had to do" Meanwhile it is noted that the Times is mildly disapproving of former Editor Hutmacher, the Fair banks News, Dr. Barnette, Judge Wick ersham, and numerous other persons and things which suggest that those fateful ''thrce months more' will not pass without at least an earnest effort to furnish an effectral emollient to the in- experienced man who parted with the provisions"
