' •awlal Per. Th« Indian*poll* NVn s. , Washington, l>. C., May 6 - It Is Ken^rally undemtood in diplomatic circles that the President and Secretary Gresham are preparing for an aggressive foreign policy toward Great Britain, to settle the Ven•xuelan boundary dispute. Last fall Secretary Gresham, acting by direction of the President. Instructed Ambassador Bayard to indicate to Loid Koeebery a strong desire of our Government that the boundary dispute might be settled by arbitration at an early day. It Is understood that Mr. Bayard was instructed to convey to the British government the opinion of the State Department authorities that the continual aggressions by Great Britain upon the territory of Venesuela were in violation of the Monroe doctrine against territorial extension by foreign powers on American soli. The authorities were stimulated to this action by a request from the republic of Venesuela. which has been vainly resisting British encroachment in recent years and seeking through diplomatic overtures to have the question settled by arbitration, or fair compromise, or other means. As Old Dispute. * This boundary dispute is sixty years Old. It Involves the question of the correct boundary line between Venezuela and ‘ British Guiana. Diplomatic relations have been suspended between the two countries Since 1187. Venesuela claims the disputed territory, which lies between the Orinoco and the EsseqUibi rivers, and bases her title upon her succession to Spain. Great Britain, which exercises sovereignty over British Guiana, claims the territory upon which she has been encroaching. step by step, during the last sixty years, as the successor, in title, of Holland. The precise boundary has never been fixed by treaty, nor is It settled by »ny law Of Venexuela, either since that Country became* S republic by asserting Its independence of Spain, or previous to

When Spain recognized the independence of Venexuela by treaty, she declared

treaty by which Holland ceded Guiana to Great Britain in 18H Is equally Indefinite. The Spanish title originally rested upon discovery and exploration. History bears witness to the fact that a Spanish subject, Don Alonso de Ojeda, sailing under royal commission, was the discoverer, in 149s. This Spanish claim extends to the Orinoco, its basin and tributaries and embraces the country now In dispute. A treaty was signed between Spain and Holland in mi. ror the exchange of fugitive slaves “between the Spanlsn settlements of the Essequlbo river and the Dutch settlements of Demara and ilerdlce. ■Which la claimed by Venezuela us evidence {hat the river was recognized as the boundary at that day. The first invaaion by the British occurred about 1814, when British traders established an outpost

west of the Kssequlbo river.

A little later a British town was founded a few miles farther west, but at the lime Venexuela was In the throes of a revolution, and no remonstrance was made against the encroachment until the year 1841. That was the first ime Venezuela

ever asserted

JSseequlbo was. w.«

spoil ding to this complaint of Venexuela, Great Britain, a year later, sent Sir Rob«r Schombargk to make a survey. This step was taken without any consultation with venesuela. The surveyor struck a line several miles west of the HUaequibo. on what was claimed by Venezuela as her territory, but whtoh was drawn seas to Include within the botmdfcry dlafms -of Graft Britain the territory which her traders had already occupied west of the Fssequlbo. This survey of Schomburgk was made the basis for a proposition for compromise by Lord Aberdeen, then British minister of foreign affairs, but the conditions were such that Venezuela declined to accept them, and the subject was not revlehd again until im when Venexuela took the initiatory step looking to the settlement of the question. This time she found herself dealing with a son of Lord Salisbury. In the interim, between the Schomburgk survey and the regpening of th* question In 1890. the British colonies west of the Kssequibo had steadily advanced westerly toward the Orinoco river, until forty thousand Inhabitants occupied the disputed territory, who claimed

allegiance to the British crown.

Venesuela made a proposition to 8ubm t the whole question to arbitration, but It •has declined by Great Britain, and, as the dispute continued to grow warmer, Yenesqela withdrew her minister from England la 18W and dissolved diplomatic •filiations, since which time there had been no Intercourse between the two participants In the regular diplomatic way. Great Britain has firmly held on to the disputed territory, and is said to have f one beyond the extreme claims made v Lord Salisbury, and occupied vast tracts, to Which he had never previously asserted title. The authorities of \eneguela claim that the area of British Guiana has bffcn almost doubled In the

took aboard the French and Belgium minister*. Venezuela, as an evidence that her rebuke had been directed against the ministers personally, and not at the governments, the forts of La Uuayara saluted the flags of the two nations. It is impossible to learn from the diplomatic representatives in Washington whether France or Belgium, or the other nations Involved, have made any demands on Venesuela. The Venesuelan minister in Washington does not believe the affair will be allowed to pass unnoticed. There is said to have been a breach of diplomatic courtesy by the act of Venezuela in falling to first notify the governments interested that their diplomatic representatives were persona non grata before giving them their passports. It will be recalled that In the case of Lord SackvilleWest Mr. Bayard, who was then Secretary of State, flrst intimated to Great Britain that the English minister was persona non grata, and that on the failure of the English Minister of Foreign Affairs to act promptly on this communication. Minister West was handed his passport. With the Nicaraguan Question "off the books.” Venezuela will claim the attention of our diplomatic representatives, and it is understood that President Cleveland is quite anxious to bring about a settlement of the long-standing boundary dispute, in the interest of American capital, which has been driven out of the field bv the encroachments of British miring Interests.

THE PRESIDENT TO GOV. STONE. The Indorsement of Mr. Cleveland's financial policy would mean the absolute, immediate and irrevocable destruction of the Democratic party. It could not carry a State in the South or the West with such a burden, and the work of disintegration would be apeedy and complete.—

Atlanta Constitution (Dem ).

For Southern Democrats the choice is hot between a sound-money President and a silver free-coinage President. Not at all. U lies between a sound-money Democratic President and a Republican PresiAient who would not only stand for sound .money, but for force bllLs, gectionM legislation, more pensions and a high tariff. After a defeat with a candidate who was wrong on this vital question, when would the Democratic party again be in a position to make a serious contest for the pesidency?—New York Times (Deni.). There Is a note of truthful warning in the three closing paragraphs of President (Cleveland's letter to the Governor of Mississippi. The silver men were powerless when they had the solid Democracy of the West and South, with nearly half of the Republicans of those sections, on their side. They can have no rational hope of succeeding now, with the eastern half of the Union ignoring all other party lines to defeat them, and the western half split Into two ftghtins factions on this question as It never' was before.—New

As President Cleveland says, defeat surely awaits the Democracy, and Just as surely the Republicans, under the leadership of McKinley, will win a notable victory next year.—

Cleveland Leader (Rep.).

“The defeat. If not the disintegration of the Democratic party.” These are ominous words to come from the titular head of that party, the only President it bus been able to elect In thirty years. The letter to Governor Stone, of Mississippi. in which Mr Cleveland uses this language, is calculated to set all silvertainted Democrats of the South to pondering. • • * The rhetoric may be a little shaky In the suggestion of taking u field on a platform, but the truth conveyed, as Mr. Cleveland adds, ‘‘ts as plain as anything can be.”—New York Herald (Ind.).

deplores the ‘‘recklessness” which seems to be abroad in the land. He merely asks them, as h* did eight years ago, when the tariff question was prominently presented. to study the problem earefiiHy and intelligently, to "see the pitfall which is before them” and "look In the face of the results.” This Is th# conclusion of a letter distinguished for its calm temper and simple earnestness.—Kansas City

Star (Indi).

As an expression of th* President’s views as to the necessity of the Democratic party maintaining with unshaken firmness its traditional itand in favor of sound and safe money, his letter to Governor Stone, of Mississippi, Just published, * is only another proof of his own fidelity to principle. and of his rare faculty of saying the right thing at the right time and In the right wav It is another ‘‘call to duty" and another warning as to the inevitable consequences of any weakening or faltering or paltering on the part of Democrats, In their support of the soundmoney principles of the party of Jefferson, of Jackson and of Tilden.—Baltimore Sun

(Dem.).

The letter is more creditable to the President than the one he addressed to the Chicago committee. It Is not bumptious. Evidently he was in a better frame at mind, less overawed, perhaps, by a sense that he was addressing the general public. It was such a letter as one friend might write to another, wlth\mt thought of publicity.' Aside frpm that the general Idea is the same in both. The writer still avoids defining his position as to what he would do with sliver, beyond the netfatlve fact that he is utterly opposed to Its free coinage. He seems quite oblivious of the pledge of his party three year# ago on this money question, His one thought is to stay the rising tide of free silver.—Chicago Inter Ocean (Hep.). , A DAILY FASHION HINT.

They remembered that they had heard the same report at that hour for thirty years past. It was the anniversary of the last shot fired by Major Jacob Roemer, at that hour at the city of Petersburg, Va.. just thirty years ago. That event Is celebrated annually by the veterans in and around Flushing. The Major, although seventy-seven years old. fires his gun each year at the same hour in the morning, and entertains his friends and comrades with a banquet in the evening. General Burnsides, lo whose command the Major was attached, never failed to attend these anniversaries during his life, and there are always a number of prominent officers in attendance, and a number of letters of regret from others who are prevented' from attending to eat hard tack and drink a droi) of “commissary,” with old friends. There is not a post in the country that might not celebrate a similar event in the military history of some of their comrades

each year.

Th* Nineteenth Regiment Indiana Volunteers held a meeting at Muncie during the recent encampment, and decided to accept the Invitation of the mayor of Union City to hold their next reunion in that | city. The 28th of August was fixed upon, that being the thirty-third anniversary of the second day’s fight of the second Bull Run. where the Nineteenth and the Iron Brigade lost heavily in killed, and

wounded

liquor to old soldiers within two miles of the State Soldiers’ Home. Commander Keeling, of the Department of Louisiana and Mississippi, announced in his annual address that “the last obitaele in the wky of race prejudice as contectsd with the G. A. R. In this department has been forever swept away.” Four new posts have been added and the Sons of Veterans have been organized and are

flourishing.

The pensioners of the late war residing

in Canada are happy over the repeal of the law cutting off their pensions simply bcause circumstances compels them to re-

side outside of the United States. Department Commander Shively's flrst

general order directs that ail official communications be addressed to Assistant Adjutant-General Smock, room 25, Slate House, Indianapolis. All communications intended for the department commander should be addressed to H. B. Shlveley,

Wabash, Ind.

The recent department encampments of Virginia and North Carolina resolved in favor of introducing military instruction into the public schools as well as placing the national flag over all public school buildings in those States The Nebraska Legislature, in addition to appropriating $250,000 to purchase seed for drought sufferers, made liberal appropriations for additional buildings, for the State Soldiers’ Home at Grand Island, and the establishment of an additional Soldiers’ Home at Milford, where the people had given forty acres of wooded land on the west "bank of Blue river, with a commodious brick building and out-houses. The survivors of Shiloh, living in Nebraska. held their annual reunion at Lincoln, April 5 and 6. Responses f/ere made by veterans from the various States represented in that memorable battle. The next reunion will occur at Milford.

The thoughts of all comrades and members of the W. R. C. are now centered on the arrangements for Memorial Day. The custom of decorating the graves of the Union soldiers was inaugurated twenty-seven years ago. Its observance is becoming more general each year. The commander-in-chief, department commanders and national and State officers of the Woman 3 Relief Corps have issued their orders recommending preparations for the observance of the 30th of May by patriotic services in the public schools, Friday afternoon. May 21, and the holding of appropriate services in

churches on Sunday, the 26th.

All military companies, patriotic associations, school children and good citizens generally are invited to participate. TJiere are eighty-one national cemeteries in the United States, where over 300,000 Union soldiers lie burled, nearly one-half of whom are “unknown.” A majority lie in cemeteries In the Southern States, where but few Union veterans live, hence the necessary expense of decorating the graves there must be met chiefly by voluntary contributions from comrades and friends in the North. Persons desiring to contribute to this fund should forward their subscriptions to As-sistant-Quartermaster O. R. Weaver, room 25, State House, Indianapolis, Ind., who will forward the same to the quar-termaster-general, who has charge of the arrangements for decorating the graves

of Union soldiers in the South.

It has been suggested that, inasmuch as the custom of celebrating Memorial Day in our public schools on the Friday j afternoon previous to Memorial Day. has become common, that an arrangement be j entered into by which the school children j of the entire country should sing together ; at the same instant of time “America,” j and repeat a single patriosic pledge of | consecration to their country, including j the mottoes, “One country, one language, j one flag.” The intention Is that this ; should be added to the usual program, i When it is 4 p. m. in New York, it is 3 | in Chicago, 2 in Denver and I at San

Francisco.

Col. George E. Waring, Jr., who has re- j cently been appointed commissioner of ; street cleaning in New York city, has recently become involved in a bitter quar- I rel with the Grand Army of the Republic. Colonel Waring, himsedf a veteran, has ignored the State law requiring that in the | employment of* his assistants preference ; tihouhi be given to Union veterans. When , remonstrated with by Dr. John W ilson < Gibbs, commander of E. D. Morgan Post, ' for his disregard of the law. Colonel j Waring lost his temper and denounced the G A. R. veterans as “a lot of drunken | bums.” When called upon by a reporter j for a statement. Colonel Waring said: . “The statement was correct, and was deliberately made. The organization has, ; In my judgment, sold itself for cash to j the claim agents of Washington. Be- , cause of its nefarious action, the work- j ingmen of this country are now paying ; annually *100,000.000 more in pensions than , they ought to be paying." The publica- , tion of this statement caused some bitter criticisms of Colonel Waring by Gen. Dan Sickles and other equally prominent GAR. members, as well as the passage of resolutions by the New York Leglsla- i ture and various ' G. A. R. posts, de- | nouncing Colonel Waring and calling upon l Mayor Strong to remove him. The department convention of Connectl- j cut which met recently at Mystic, was re- I eeived with great enthusiasm, and hospit- j ably entertained. The annual reports , show forty-nine corps, an increase of three during the year; membership. 2.804. a gain of 108 members; cash on hand. $623.68; number of “comrades'’ assisted 493; members of the W.

Bodge was presented with a purse of $61 contributed by > the various corps. Louisa Bray, age j eight-six, of Williams Corps, Mystic, at- j tended the convention. The department of Ohio, through its reg- | ular committee has purchased $100 worth of new books for the library at the Ohio State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home, in addition t» the books contributed by various

corps.

Tne Department of Michigan has Just closed a prosperous year, having distributed $7,856 in cash or its equivalent. The ladles of Saginaw, Mich., cleared $2,000 through the St. Cecilia edition of the

Evening News.

At the late Indiana department convention every past department president was In attendance, and, at the request of a number of members, they were photographed in a group. The pictures were made in two sizes, at a cost of $1 and 50 cents. The proceeds are to be used toward the building of a cottage at the State Soldiers’ Home. Corps and individuals desiring to purchase one or more of these pictures, will send the order and money to Nettle Ransford, Indianapolis,

A Physician Talks. THE REMARKABLE STORY AND AFFIDAVIT OF DR. LEWIS BLUNDIN.

Afflicted with Paralysis for Twentyfive Years-*-A Casa ot World Wide Interest. {From th« Philadelphia Timet.) Lewis D. Blucdin was born in ’41 "at Bridgewater, Pa., and is now a resident ol Hulmeville same state. He went through the war as private, sergeant and hospital steward of Company C. 28th Pa. Volunteers. As a result of an attack of typhoid fev#r in Ga., his kidneys became aftfected and this finally developed mto spinal disease, which lasted through his army service. In ’66 he was mustered out and entered Jeffersom Medical College, Phila., as a student from which he graduated two years later. The remainder of the story is nest told in his own words: “ One day, after < had graduated, I was lying on a sofa at my home in Manayunk, when I felt a cold sensation in ray lower limbs as though the blood had suddenly ld$ them. When I tried to move them I was horrified at the discovery that 1 was paralyzed from my hips to my toes. The paralysis was complete and a pin or a pinch of the flesh caused no pain. J could not move a musc le. I called in Dr. William C. Todd, of Philadelphia. He made ah exhaustive examination of my case, and announced that my trouble was caused by inflammation of the spinal cord, and that I would likely have another stroke of paralysis. I consulted Dr, I. W. Gross and Dr. Pancoast of Jeflerson College, Philadelphia, and Dr. Morehouse, of Philadelphia with the same

result.

“ One dar last September I decided to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I had always been troubled with a sort of vertigo after my first stroke of paralysis to such an extent "that when I got out of my bed mv bead would swim and I had difficulty m saving myself from falling. My appetite was bad, digestive organs ruined and no assimilation o?food. In addition to my many other ailment*, rheumatism held a prominent place. By the time I had finished the first box of Pink Pills I was comparatively free from these minor ills. First one ail would disappear, then another until the pills got to work upon the foundation stones of rny trouble—paralysis. Before I had taken the six boxes of pills, 1 was iitting in m v chair and one afternoon, when I felt a curious sensation in my left foot. Upon investigation I found It had flexed, or in other words become movable, and I could move It. From that time on my improvement was steady and it was not long before I was walking around on crutches with little or no discomfort. It was three years before taking the Pink Pills that I bad Been able to use the crutches at any time; and I feel sure that Pink Pills have done me more good than all the doctors and all the medicine in the country and as they are not costly I can easily afford the treatment."
