These,of mature size of one species are found in the Royal Botanic Gardens at Trinidad to produce the gum in paying quantities; and several species of the genus, liave thriven there. Dr. Ernst urges that every effort be -made to extend and preserve the forests, thickets and groves on the Orinoco, and suggests that collectors be required when ‘they work a grove to plant a certain number of trees. Only by such moans, and by adopting a chemical mode of coagulation instead of tho present crude way of evaporations the juice in the dense smoke of a wood fire, can the India rubber production of the Amazon territory be Increased in quantity and improved in quality .‘-Popular Science Monthly.

ASTOBOUNDARY LINES p State Department Much Concerned Over the Venezuelan Problem. AN ARBITRATION PROPOSED. Amklmdor Hwyard Ha. Not NneoeedMt In Inducing Grant Brltlau to Serloanly Head 111. Eropoaltloae—Penee Negotiations Hetwren the Japanese and Chinese to Be Pushed. Washington! April 2.—The secretary of state is very much concerned these days by the Venezuelan problem. Tho British ultimatum delivered to Nicaragua is not a source of present apprehension, for it is not now believed that the British will take any action in the way of attempting io acquire any territory in that direction, or even to jeopardise the property of Americans in Nicaragua by a bombardment in their efforts to force a collection of the indemnity demanded from Nicaragua. Those are the two moves that might cause the United States to interfere. But in tho case of the Venezuelan boundary dispute there is much greater cause for apprehension. It appears that our ambassador, Mr. Bayard, has not succeeded in inducing the British government to give heed to the request submitted by him at the direction of congress, that the boundary dispute be submitted to arbitration. The British are profuse in their declaration of their willingness to arbitrate the title to tife lands west of the Schomberg line, but in the view of the state department this is a pure evasion.of the real issue, for there never has been any reasonable assertion of a British right to this territory, and it is the territory lying east of this line that forms the substance of the contention. Situation Believed tn Be Alarming. The present situation is believed to be alarming, as armed bodies of British and Venezuelans are pressing each other closely in the disputed territory, and there mtiy be a hostile clash at any moment. The administration has been considering carefully the course to be pursued in such a case and it is entirely probable that if the British persist in bringing about such a collision through a failure to heed repeated warnings and requests of the United States to submit the matter to a fair arbitration, then the United States will feel obliged to follow the moral aid it has given to Venezuela in this matter by more substantial assistance. Demonstration In Venezuela. Word reaches here of a remarkable demonstration at Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, expressive of the common sentiment of the United States and Venezuela in upholding the Monroe doctrine. It occurred on the visit of the United States squadron under Admiral Meade to La Guayara, where the officers were met by the government officials and were escorted with much pomp and a popular ovation to the capital. They were feted in many ways, and

■ PRESIDENT JOAQCIX CRESPO.

official congratulations were exchanged between President Crespo and Admiral Meade. 'Die entire press of the city united in a movement to erect a statue to ex-Pfesideiit Monroe of the United Stotes on the plaza de Lopez as a memorial to the American sentiment for the Monroe doctrine. The chief significance of the event is its coming at a time when the United States is taking an active part in the convention,.between Great Britain and Venezuela pver the boundary question. PKACE NEGOTIATIONS. ’Theirmimed bite Resumption Anticipated to Be Pushed to Speedy Settlement. Washington, April 2. —Now that the limited armistice has been proclaimed in the Chinese-Japanese war, and that Li Hung Chang’s wound is improving. it is ahticipated that the resumption of peace negotiations will follow speedily and will be pushed with the view to socuring a treaty of peace as early as siblo. The’indemuity and the form in which it shall be paid is one part of- the terms of peace which is being watched with interest. Tile /noney indijpiirity Japan will ask will be very considerable. There is no information to be had concerning the mode or muaner of payment, nor whether it will stipulate the metal iu which it shall be paid, ftssuuj--ing that gold or silver, or both, must be naid. - . ■ ' One suggestion made is that it may be made payable in “credits” or largely iubohds. The financial probity of the Chinese is of the highest, and the nation’s reputation for prompt settlement of its pecuniary' obligations is so high that it is believed its promises to pay would easily pass current with the Japanese, or with others in case tho indemnity was arranged through private agencies. News has come to the Japanese legation confirming dispatches respecting .the terms of the armistice. It stated that it'Would be 21 days unless sooner terminated by the breaking off of peace negotiations and would include Kiug, Shan Tung and Pe-Cbi-Li. Proposed Reception to the President. Washington, April 2.—The president yesterday received a reprosen tat ivedelegation of Chicagoans wfiio called on behalf of a number pf leading

The president expressed to the delegation the gratification he felt at their call and the invitation they tendered, but gave no assurances of his acceptance, saying thut he could not tell What the state of public business would be and that his duties might require his presence in Washington for some time to oome. Nntlonal Keoalpte and Kxpansan. I Washington, April 2.—The monthly statement of the receipts and expendit- , nres of the treasury during the month of March shows receipts from all sources amounting to $25,470,575 and expenditures amounting to $25,716,957, leaving a deficit for the month of $246,876, and , for the nine months of the first calendar i year $36,542,153.

I " REFUSES TO TESTIFY.. —— Scott Decline* to Appear Before s Commit tee, but S«*n<ift h Letter. / Omaha, April 2.—For two wefcksJthe board of police commissioners have been investigating the Omaha police force. District Junge Scott has frequently charged from the l>ench that the board winked at lawlessness, and he was subpoenaed (tn testify on the subject. He refused to do so and sent to th6 board 3 letter in which he said: I Yon have not now and never, had any intention of investigating the police department. You know that, and the people knoW it. , You would stultify your board if you attempted it. Your command upon me as not sincere, is Pickwickian. If the dead should arise and hold a ghost dance before you proclaiming the rottenness of tbe police department, made so by you, it would be only a ghost dance before official ghosts Nothing would come of it. Your board is and has been packed in favor of gambling and prostitution and against the enforcement of law and order. If the police pepartment has been boodling with gamblers and prostitutes, you gave it authority to do so. You taught it the lesson and are, and have been for years a party to that boodling. Your board has used its official machinery to foster and protect crime in this city gambling and prostitution. I refuse to obey you. POSTOFFICE ROBBED. Crack.men Blow Open the Safe and Get •5,000 In Cash and Stamps. Omaha’, April 2.—The South Omaha postoftice was robbed of $5,000 Monday night by cracksmen. The work was not discovered until yesterday. It was an ideal night for a robbery because the rain kept people off the streets. A hole as large as a lead pencil was* bored in the top of the combination lock, just above the knob. The tumblers were then turned until the safe was unlocked. The wooden drawers, where registered letters, money orders and cash were kept, were taken out and carried away. A large amount of stamps were also taken. The outer door of the vault in the basement was opened in the same way, but the knobs on the inner doors were knocked off with a sledge hammer. In this vault was $3,500 worth of stamps, but the thieves did not take any of them, evidently searching for money. Vessel Wrecked. Halifax, N. S., April 2.—The schooner wrecked, ou Trinity ledge was the Alfred Kon of Rockland, Me., for New York, with a cargo of lime. Tho cargo caught fire at sea in rough weather and was thrown overboard, and the Kon was returning to Rockland for another load. The captain lost his reckoning and thought he was'in the Bay of Fundy. The crew-, were rescued in the nick of time by a boat which ventured out from the shire. The mate, however, was killed .a jumping from the vessel to the boat. 2_ • New Nat-iunal Party Affaire;.
