Admiral Walker Leaves for Venezuela on Board of the Chicago Entrusted With Sealed Orders. Consul-General Button has cabled tl State D.-partment that the time for the Iree Importation ol corn nas been ex tended by the Mexican Government until November IS. Tbe "ten days" statement lust Issued from the Treasury shows the total net gold in the Treasury to he $114,218,071 an Increase of about loO.OJO since th first of the month.

Many ol these Inventors claim they did not have sutliclent time to properly periect the! work, and beg that the board be recon veiled lor the purpose oi considering improvements which they have made since their guns were tried, and which they claim promise better results than those obtained from the Krag-Jorgensen gun. There are good reasons for believing that the sealed Instructions which were delivered to Admiral Walker on board the Chicago entrusted him with a mis sion more Important perhaps than any that has been confided to an American naval o Ulcer in recent years. The pro tracted conference which President liar- son held with Acting becretary of State Adee on bis recent visit to ashimtton : the long consultatiod between Secretary of the Navy Tracy and Mr. Adee before Admiral Walker's orders were finally agreed upon; the carefully worded tfleial statement given out that Admiral Walker "was directed to pursue a vigor ous course in dealing with the situation, especially In connection with foreign ggresslon:" all take new significance on the supposition, believed to be well toumled, that Admiral Walker's mission to La Uuayre with his aonadron will be to proffer the friendly intervention of the United States to the Venesuelan uthoiilies, whoever they may be by tbe me ne arrives out there, lor the pur pose of preventing the final absorption of Venesuelan territory by Ureal Brit- n, and, urther, to secure the restora tion of the ttatu$ quo as to such tx linda nes as existed prior to 1877, and to ob tair consent for submission to arbitra tion of the question of title to the terri tory in dispute.
