BRITISH OFFICER TO AID
IN BOUNDARY SETTLEMENT
Major Fawcett to Help to Mark the From
tier Between Bolivia and
Brazil

LONDON. May 26.-On the invitation
of the Bolivian Government Major P. H.
awcett of the Royal Garrison Artillery
has been granted permission by the mill
tary authorities to act as Bolivian Com
missioner for the delimitation of the from
tier between Bolivia and Brazil and will
shortly leave England to take up the
work. The frontier region between the
two republics. especially in the north,
around the headwaters of the Purus and
Madeira rivers, is one of the richest rub
ber producing countries in the world.
Questions affecting its development have
long been source of trouble to Bolivia
and Brazil
At one time an independent state was
proclaimed by a bold Spanish adventurer,
and the troubles reached their culminat-
ing point when Bolivia granted to an
Anglo American syndicate, with its head
quarters in New York. a vast concession
in the Acre territory, which the Brazilian
Government viewed with grave apprehen-
sion as likely to lead to the establishment
of an imperium in imperio, and to give TO
the United States fresh grounds for inter
vention in South American affairs.
AT one time il seemed as though this
question might lead to the rupture of
friendly relations between Bolivia and
Brazil. but happily an amicable solution
"a ~HO DcefsCSAi AiiC tNO SOuii-
tries found in the treaty of Petropo-
lis. signed on the 18th of November 1909
which variously mou,fied the Bolivio- Bra
lillian frontier, the principal result being
that Brazil obtained a large area of terri
tory in the north in exchange for a money
payment.
One clause provided that any disagree
ment which might arise in the denarca-
ton of the new boundary lines, and which
the two Governments might themselves
be unable to adjust, should be submitted

Lions Raid a Town.

LONDON. May 26.-Word from Blan-
tyre. in British Central Africa. states that
the inhabitants of the little township of
Chiromo. on the Shire River, were recent
IN alarmed by cries of natives inhabiting
the neighboring villages
Eight lions had invaded the villages,
carried away one native and mauled an
other. The roaring of lions was heard in
Chiromo and five Europeans rushed out
with rifles and lamps. They found the
clothes of a native, torn and soaked in
blood, but nothing more
Next evening, shortly after sunset, the
lions entered the town itself. Natives
were taken off several verandas. mail
carriers clothed in the Kings uniform
were killed and eaten and a panic arose.
Natives deserted their villages and slept
on verandas, others Communicated
barses on the river and lay off in mid
stream, while yet others barred their
doors and windows. For several days nei-
ther native nor European ventured out sk
doors after sunset.

LONDON, May 26.-To the San

beautiful country mansion OF Lady
Hesketh in Northamptonshire, IS TO
be let. Lady Hesketh, who is a
daughter of the late Senator Sharon.

property in the stricken city, notably
the Palace Hotel, in which she had
large interest. Its destruction. add
ed to the other losses she has Sus-
tanned through the disaster, has so
crippled her resources that she can
no longer afford TO reside at her
country seat in the style she has
been accustomed to maintain there
1t was in 1880 that Miss Florence
Sharon, as she then was. married the
dashing Sir Thomas Hesketh, who
had succeeded to the baronetcy four
years before on the death OF his
brother He was then thirty-one
years old. His estates covered some
$4,000 acres, but belonging to the
sporting set and much addicted to
cardplaying for high stakes, its rev.
enues did not suffice to satisfy his
expensive tastes, and though his
more than doubled his fortune, he

Special .,lspatch to The Call.

LONDON, May 26.-Much Interest
Captain Alexander Simpson has com
pleted his seventy-first voyage be-
tween England and Australia, thereby
bringing his record of sea travel uT
to approximately 100000 miles. He
has been forty years in the service
of the Aberdeen White Star Line te
Melbourne and Sydney, and for many
years has been the commodore of the
fleet. None of the vessels under his
command has ever met with Serl-
Gus mishap, which is a record he Is
far prouder of than of the vast dis
tance he has covered in voyages to
and from the AntipodeS.
Not a few influential Australians OF
today set out from London with Cap
tain Simpson when he was in COM
mand of the old emigrant ship Cap
tain PlimSoll, and when it was no un-
common thing for voyage to Aus
tralia to take four months. he has
commanded many famous wind-Jam-
lners in his time, but they have long
been replaced by steamships.
He was in command of the steam
ship Australasian in which Fraude
made the journey which gave birth to
that much discussed book ''Oceana-
Fraude's description of him still fits,
save that he is now much older and
grayer than when the lines were
penned Add the handsome cap
tain, some thirty-two years old, with
blue, merry eyes, gracious, pleasant,
skillful seaman, willing to talk TO
us about his business, making US
welcome to his chart room at all fit
ting seasons, ready to explain the
mysteries of great circle sailing; be-
sides this, true-hearted, brave,
energetic and truly admirable man.
Many interesting sea yarns the
veteran skipper is able to spin of his
own experiences, but the most curious
oNthem relate to the manner in which
the wreck of the French vessel Tam
aris was made known. She was lost
on the inhospitable Crozets in the
Antarctic seas This was learned from
a tin plate found attached to the neck
of an albatross which was picked up
dead on the beach at Freemantle,
West Australia. The cord had been
tied so tightly that in trying to swal-
low a limpet the bird had been
choked A relief vessel was at once
dispatched, but on arriving at the
Crozets it was found that the ship
wrecked sailors had set out in a boat
for a neighboring island. They were
never heard of again.
Captain Simpson is an expert IN
meteorology, and for eighteen years
has been testing the set of the seas
over which he travels by casting over
board every day, when on the great
ocean, a bottle containing a record OF
the ships position and request
printed in several languages, asking
the finder to return it to an address
in London, with the name of the place
where it. was picked up and the date
Out of 1000 bottled records thus con-
signed to Father Neptune, more than
500 have been returned to him, some
of which have drifted more than
900 miles. There is no doubt that
at times they have travelled contrary
to the currents set down in the Ad-
miralty charts.

Sir Thomas Brownies skull.

LONDON. May 26.-The governors of
the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital re-
solved at their meeting on Saturday to
restore to the vicar and church wardens
of the church of ST. Peter Mancroft.
Norwich, the skull of Sir Thomas
Browne, the distinguished author and
physician. who resided in that city for
forty years in the seventeenth century.
Sir Thomas Browne was the author of
'.Relgio Medici'' and Vulgar Errors.
and was buried in the church of st. Peter

early part of last century his grave was

through various hands the skull became
the property of the hospital governors,
who latterly have preserved it in hand
some reliquary. The tomb of the famous
author is now to be opened in the pres
ence of representatives of the hospital,
who wish to be satisfied that the remains
therein are. without skull.

CALCUTTA, May 26.-The corporation

on the big Government scheme for the
Improvement of Calcutta, involving an
expenditure of five and half millions
sterling. The report approves of the levy
ing of dax of one rupee per ton on jute.
other commodities being also taxed At
the meeting of the corporation it was de-
elared that that body could not vote the
money without increasing the rates
which already are very high In course
of the debate several speakers favored
the idea of raising money by lottery
bonds, as was done in Paris. The chair
man pointed out. however, that public
opinion in England would not tolerate
such a step.

MYTHICAL REPUBLIC AGAIN
COMES BEFORE THE PUBLIC
"Counanl'' in South America Receives
Crushing Blow From the British
Eoreidn Office

f. LONDON, May 26.-The Independent
Republic of Counani' has received a
crushing blow from Sir Edward Grey.
The Manchester Chamber of Commerce,
it seems, has been approached with re-
gard to the formation of a company
having its field of operations in Counani,
and was tempted to take serious notice
of the matter by an alluring announce
ment that the company, as part of its
work, would enter upon the purchase of
goods from Manchester merchants and
others.
The Chamber, however, found itself in
a predicament owing to its complete
ignorance of the existence Of the I'm
dependent Republic of Counani," and
but little enlightenment was obtained
later from a map exhibited in Manches-
ter showing the important town of Ma
naos, situate near the confiux of the
Amazon and Rio Negro, as being within
the "Republics' territory.
Accordingly, the secretary was deputed
to draw upon the resources of informa-
ton at the Foreign once. The follow
ing reply came from Sir Eldon Gorst:
I am to state that the so-called State
is purely fictitious It's political exist
ence is Indignantly denied by the Brazil
ian Government, within whose territory
the cities and provinces claimed by the
Republic are situated, and it has not
been acknowledged by this country, nor,
so far as his Majesty's Government is
concerned, by any other power
After nearly two centuries contention
between France and Brazil. Counani was
recognized to belong to the latter power.
which, however, does not appear ever
to have taken effective possession of the
territory. Counani was long ago claimed
by its inhabitants to be an independent
State, and M. Breyet as its president,
went to France two years ago on a mis-
sion to Europe Ito defend the interests
entrusted to him.

INTERESTING QUESTION.
Apropos. another interesting question
of spelling suddenly has come uu. and
that in connection with Mark Twain's
recent gift of the manuscript of his mag
azine article on .Joan of Arc to the nnu-
nicipal museum at Rouen. the ancient
town in which the French heroine rnet
her death. 1t is demanded by a we'll
known English antiquarian why both
British and American writer's spell the
maids name as Joan dare when as
he points out. we have the authority Of
Michelet. the historian. of Dean Kitchin
and other historians that the young wo-
mans name was actually Jeanne Dare.
Not only" says this writer were her
parents peasants. but there was no Arc
anywhere near of which she could be
de. He adds. Though it is easy To
see how the mistake originally arose. tha
twentieth century. in the interests OF ac-
curacy. should not eountenance it"
In the Office of the Paris newspana-

and bitter. for the recent strike OF corr
positors in the City of Iizhf, ba-
spoiled an enviable record of which fhs
proprietors of this journal were inctl,s
proud. UP to last Friday Les Petitas
Affiches had appeared daily. inelpd,nS
Sundays. for more than 300 years. or sincs
the seventeenth century. but on the dav
mentioned it was found necessary to miss
an issue in order to give the printars :
twenty-four-hour rest. Owing to tbe
conpositors' strike these men had No.,
working nearly double hours for nearly .
fortnight. and they were literally ~, tta
verge of exhaustion when the pronr1asc.s
decided to suspend publication for ~
first time in the papers history. ON ~
following day the little journal. which II
composed entirely of advertisernen&S
