Important Papers Bearing on
the Venezuela Trouble.
SUPPORT VENEZUELA'S CLAIM
A Map Made by Knffland Twntr Tears
Afo Snows the Boundary a ,
Venezuela Claims It.
Washington, May 15. According to
advices received here important British
documents have been found at Honolulu
as to tbe pending British-Venezuela
boundary question, in which the United
States has urged arbitration as a means
of settlement.
Assistant Surveyor-General Curtis J.l
Lyons, of Hawaii, has examined them
and has made a map accompanied by a
statement, which, it is stated, supports
the Venezuelan contention, even on evi
dence thus far presented by the British.
The records brought to public atten
tion by Mr. Lyons were furnished Ha
waii by the British foreign office when
Hawaii was a monarchy, largely under
British control. They are on file in the
surveyor's office at Honolulu. Lyons
was led to make an investigation bv the
publication last month of the British
map of Gaiana territory. On comparing
this with the map furnished by the
foreign office 20 years ago, be found the
boundary line entirely changed. Tbe
first map gave the line as Venezuela
claims it should be. The last map shifts
the line far to the westward, and includes
as British territory about 10,000 square
miles which the first map showed to be
clearly Venezuelan territory,
.i The old map was made by the Royal
Geographical Society, of - England, and
thereafter Riven omciai approval and
sent out by the foreign office. It is
therefore considered of scientific as well
as of official value. Mr. Lyons sayj :
"The area thus taken in, as shown on
these maps themselves, is 10,000 square
miles or more, larger than the area of
either Massachusetts or Vermont. What
Venezuelans are claiminir we have not
the means of knowing, but it is very
natural they should claim at least that
British Guiana should adhero to tbe
original map."
They Look Well on Paper.
San Francisco, May 15. Articles of
incorporation have been filed by the co
operative commonwealth, a co-operative
association with the following directors:
Mary E. Squires, George W. Sells, E. J.
Hicks, Miss A. Swain and J. K. Phillips.
There wiil be a mass. meeting tonight in
the lecture-room of the old St. Marcus
chnrch, to present the plans of the com
monwealth..
The co-operative commonwealth was
first organized in Seattle, Wash. It is
nonsectarian and draws no color ifhe.
In an interview yesterday with Miss
Addie Swain, the secretary of tbe local
branch, she explained that the main
feature of the plan for - co-operation is
. the reserve, or development fund. This
was her argument. "On a basis of 500,
000 men, 10 cents per day for six months
or 150 working days, accumulates the
marvelous, sum or. 7,&uu,UUU, ana in a
year $15,000,000. The society is now or
ganized as a national body, and has at
its command 500,000 men and $15,000,000
,of capital. It can immediately set all of
its members at work in its own employ.
The savings of the people, now Jn the
.banks, amount to about $3,000,000,000.
This could be placed in the co-operative
savings banks and a percentage used to
establish new industries instead of being
loaned at enormous rates of interest to
' serve as dragnets to gather in the land
and its products for tbe benefit of a few
commercial fishermen.
'This reserve fund could be invested in
purchasing or constructing railroads to
Highest of ai la jL.cu.vcag
S e.
free the commonwealth from transporta
tion companies.
"For instance, with this reserve fund
of, say $15,000,000, a railroad could be
constructed from Portland to San Fran
cisco with branches to Stockton, San
Jose, Los Angeles, Fresno and 'all other
important points on4 tbe coast, and the
surplus could be replaced while the work
of construction was going on. Thous
ands of acres of mineral land could be
developed and thousands of ' men em
ployed who are now idle.
Mayor Sutro has promised to donate
200 acres of land in Bound valley to the
commonwealth. Tbe Spring Water
Valley Company gives water free to the
community. " . - . -
Judge Hewitt Favor Kallroad Com-
', : BlMlODUh "
Albany, Or., May. 15. Judge Hewitt
today rendered a decision in tbe case of
B. Eddy, one of Oregon's railroad
commissioners, vs. Harrison R. Kincaid,
secretary of state. On April 17 a writ of
mandamus was issued commanding the
secretary to draw a warrant on the state
treasury in favor of Eddy, for $245.55,
the balance due as salary as railroad
commissioner for the quarter ending
March 31, 1895. To this writ the de
fendant interposed a general demurer,
presenting three points of argument:
First That the law providing for the
election of railroad commissioners by
tbe legislature is unconstitutional and
void.
Second Conceding the authority of
the failure to elect commissioners, the
failure to elect at tbe last biennial ses
sion created a vacancy.
Third That the offices of the com
missioners became vacant at the expira
tion of tbe last biennial term by reason
of the neglect of the commissioners to
file a new oath of office.
After a lenghtly argument, and cita
tion of authorities, including decisions
by Judges Lord and Strahan, while on
tbe supreme bench of Oregon, that the
appointing power is within the scope of
the legislature, Judge Hewitt, holds that
no vacancy exists, the constitution pro
viding that all officers, except members
of the legislature, shall hold their offices
until their successors are elected, and
qualified. He also holds that their
continuation in office is a part of the
original terms, and that no new oath or
bond is required. The demurrer is ac
cordingly overruled, leaving tbe writ re
quiring the secretary of state to pay the
salary in force. The case will probably
go to the supreme court for final de
cision. Hard to Oct Accurate Mews.
New Yobk, May 15. A special to tbe
World from Santiago, Cuba, says :
It is almost impossible to get accurate
news of the revolution to ibe United
States. Information sent by mail and
telegraph is suppressed by government
censors, who are acting under orders.
From news brought by men directly
from interior provinces, it appears that
all the eastern end ot the island, with
the exception of garrisoned towns, is at
the mercy of bands of insurgents. They
are prowling around within six miles of
the city of Santiago, and tbe Spanish
soldiers are afraid of them. The village
of Cainey, only five miles from here, has
been attacked by a band of rebels under
tbe leadership of Victoriano Garcoono
The inhabitants fled in terror.
The government troops are now in
close pursuit of Maceo, who is continn
ally obliged to change bis headquarters
He has just -camped on a coffee planta
tion in the mountains between here and
Guantanamo. He managed to bold a
conversation there with his first lieuten
ants and the representees of nearly
6,000 armed followers. , He assigned
them to duty at different parts ot the
province, but retained 2,000 men to act
under his own direction. Recruits are
coming in faster than he can provide
arms for them. .
Maceo threatens to barn tbe towns of
San Luisy SangoU and Christo, because
the Spaniards " are "using them as tbe
base of supplies. He seems to be con'

Any one who has ever had an atack
of inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr. J. A. Siumm, 220 Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, ovtr his fortunate
escape from a siege of that distressing
ailment. Mr. Stumm is foreman of
Merrian's confectionery establishment.
Some months ago, on leaving the heated
work room to run across the street on an
errand, he was caught out in the rain.
The result was that when ready to' go
home that night he was unable to walk,
owing to inflammatory rheumatism. He
was taken home, and on arrival, was
placed in front of a good fire and
thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. During the evening and
night be was repeatedly bathed with this
liniment, and by morning was relieved
of all rheumatic pains. He now takes
especial pleasure in praising Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, and always keeps-a
bottle of it in the house. For sale by
