F. R. COUDERT IN TERVgIEWED
He Is One of the Commissioners and
Thinks England Has Aoted Wilely.
The Tone of Most of the London
Papers Is Quito Friendly.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. — Commissioner
Frederic R. Coudert, who arrived in the
city today, when questioned regarding the
attitude of the commission in regard to the
settlembnt of the Venezuelan dispute, said:
“I have just returned from Washington,
where the Venezuelan boundary commis-
sion has been in session for the past two
days. All of the members of the commis—
sion were much pleased at the possibility
of a speedy settlement of the Venezuelan
question. '
“Lord Salisbury’s announcement, while
It comes in the nature of a pleasant sur-
prise, is nevertheless an acknowledgment
that England has gracefully yielded to the
demands 'of our government and will be-
come a party to an arbitration treaty that
will no doubt be acceptable to both gov-
ernments.
“I have never had any doubt but that
England Would accede to our terms, but I
did not think that the difiiculty would be
settled so soon as this.
“Lord Salisbury has done the very best
possible thing under the circumstances,
and I think that in two weeks’ time Sit
FREDERIC R. COUDERT.
Julian Pauncefote and Secretary of State
Olney will sign the protocol of the pro-
posed treaty, which will entirely settle the
dispute and also adjust the boundary line
between Venezuela and British Guiana.
“The commissioners have decided to
withhold their report for the present until
the treaty of arbitration goes into eifect.
“We may perhapgép ve§~make a report,
except to the presi oust, in dialer to show
exactly what we have done.
“It does not matter how this thing "is
settled, I feel that the work of the commis-
sion has not been in vain, as we have gath- -
cred together a lot of useful information
that will be valuable in years to come.
“ The suggestion of a permanent court
to cry all disputed questions of interns-i
tional boundary is, I think, a good one,
but I do not kpow t at such a scheme is to
be incorpOrated in t a proposed treaty. ”
B ding the clause in the treaty that
provides that in the “settled districts” 8.
term of 50 years of undisturbed residence
shall be regarded as giving the right to
slam, Mr. Coudcrt said: -
“This, I think, is no more than right.
It is nothing. mere than another illustra-
tion of the law of Vested rights. Of course
if the Venezuelans sitidly by and see the
English make improvements and cultivate
the land for such a length of time, then
certainly they ought not to expect to reap
the reward of another’s work.
“I might say in conclusion that Great
Britain has seen her mistake in taking the
untenable attitude that she did against the
Monroe doctrine, and her consent to sub-
mit to arbitration is practically an admis-
sion of the justice of Venezuela’s claims. ”
British Press Opinions.
LONDON, Nev. 12.—The Times today,
commenting on the fact that Venezuela is
tribunal, says:
“This is a most farreaching concession
and a signal diplomatic success for the
United States and is interesting to the
Americans much more keenly than any
more rearrangement of Venezuelan terri-
t'ory. It secures to England the advantage
of dealing with a responsible and friendly
government and admits the principle that
the United States may not only intervene
in disputes with South American repub.
inal disputant and assume exclusive con-
trol of the negotiations. Great Britain
cannot bind other nations by this conces-
sion, but she sets up a precedent which
may in future be quoted with great effect
against herself, and she has greatly
strengthened the hands of the United
States government should the latter desire
to intervene in any future dispute between
a South American republic and any Euro-
pean power.
‘ ‘It need scarcely be said that the right
of interference involves responsibility. If
the United States espouse the quarrels of
petty republics, they are bound to compel
the republics to fulfill their engagements.
Such a general protectorate, if executed in
the equitable manner which the Washing-
ton cabinet may be expected to adopt, may
go far to enforce the principles of national
honor and honesty in quarters where now
they are often very imperfectly observed. ’l
A Liberal View.
The Chronicle, Liberal, comments upon
the agreement to arbitrate further disputes
as the best thing for the peace of the world
that has happened perhaps for a century
and adds: '
“If popular rejoicing were always di-
rected to proper ends, every town in Great
Britain and America would be decorated
today in honor of this victory of interna-
tional Wisdom. This is the embodiment of
the message of Bethlehem. ”
The Standard, Conservative, says: “The
Venezuela settlement is most gratifying.
It would be unprofitable to raise the un-
gracious issue of which party has pre-
vailedfl’
The Post, also Conservative, says: “It
is satisfactory to know that the Venezuela
settlement is not a diplomatic defeat for
Lord Salisbury. It involves arrangements
fax-reaching and of a most significant de-
scription. ”
The Daily Telegraph (Liberal) says:
"' It is a great triumph for diplomacy and
still greater for the sacred cause of peace.
Lord Salisbury and President Cleveland
are to be warmly congratulated. ”
The Daily News (Liberal) says: “In se-
curing Lord Salisbury’s consent to 50
years’ limitation Mr. Olney has played a
game of give and take. He yielded on his
former argument that Great Britain could
not plead prescription at all, but has taken
a lead from Lord Salisbury in pushing
back the British claims of indisputable
settlement from 1887 to 1836. The result,
however, will work out equitably, because
Lord Salisbury proposed to recognize
Venezuela settlements of the same date.
Therefore if the limitation must bepushed
back farther it will be pushed back better
for Great Britain, because Venezuela has
- been much more active in making settle-
ments since 1850 than Great Britain.”
King Oscar to Arbitrate.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.——King Oscar of
Sweden has been definitely selected as the
fifth arbitrator. This has been agreed upon
by President Cleveland, Secretary Olney
and Sir Julian Pa efote after a confer-
ence with the Swedis minister, who re-
ceived the cable dispatch announcing King
Oscar’s willingness to accept. The other
arbitrators will be selected by England and
the United States, each choosing two. The
sittings of the new commission will prob-
ably be in Stockholm.
CHICAGO scones ITO—133m.
Pour Members of 3 Gang of Alleged
Shoplifters Arrested.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—-After systematical-
ly robbing Chicago’s big department stores
of plunder aggregating $15,000 during a
period extending overa year, four mem-
bers of a gang of shoplifters hailing from
New York have been captured. Detectives
parched two flats occupied by the self
confessed thieves and found nearly $1,000
worth of stolen property, which is being
held by the police for identification. Those
arrested are:
‘ William Scharf, alias Schoeler; Mabel
Wallace, alias Minnie Belmont; Harry
Bauer, once a Chicago bartender, and
Sadie Bauer, his wife. '
No attempt was ever made by the shop-
lifters to dispose of their stolen goods in
this city. Harry Bauer in his confession
to the detectives admitted that most of the
stufi' was shipped to New York and other
eastern cities and sold for good pricesto re-
tail merchants.

FINEST WRITING EXTANT.
Contents of Twenty Bibles Written Legibly
on a Thumb’s Breadth.
The wildest dream of fine postal
card writing fails to be of . interest
when compared with what has been
written on glass with a diamond point.
So marvelously fine are the marks that
have been traced on glass that when,
by means of a powerful microscope,
a speck when seen with the naked eye
it is difficult to realize the ofulness of
the fact presented.
Think of legible writing so fine that
twenty copies of the entire Bible can
be written in the narrow space of one
square inch! Yet such there is in ex-
istence and can be reproduced without
great difficulty. Within the little black
circle marked on the glass slide there
was no mark to be seen with the na-
ked eye or with the strongest magnify-
ing glass.
“You can see nothing there,” said the
exhibitor, “neither can you under an
ordinary microscope, but the same
prayer is written there as on the other
glass, only, as compared with 'the oth-
er, the space is as a New York city lot
compared with a Dutchess county
farm. Look at it under the strongest
power my microscope is capable of.”
There it was, the Lord’s Prayer, in
the same handwriting as the other.—
both being done by Professor Webb,
of the Royal Microscopical Society——
but ever so much smaller.
This covers a space measured by
one-fiveuhundredth part of an inch in
one direction, and one-six-hundredth
and fifty-third part of an inch in the
other direction. In other words, it
means that with writing of that size
74,115,500 letters can be placed in a
single square inch. The force of this
is easier comprehended when we're-
member that the Bible contains 3,566,-
480 letters, which means that the en-
tire Christian Scriptures can be writ-.
ten legibly, twenty times repeated,
within the space of a single square
inch, and have considerable vacant
space left.”
- This wonderfully minute writing,
which requires a microscope magnify-
ing 200 diameters to make it readable,
is not produced by the use of any mag-
nifying power, but by moving the hand
and forming the letters as in ordinary
very fine writing. The pen that is used
is connected with a series of lovers
that reach a distance of six feet, where
is placed the glass slide to be written
on. These levers are so adjusted that
the motion of the end nearest the glass
slide is much less than that of the
other end, so that the amount of mo-
tion is lessened as it travels along the
successive levers, until, when it reach-
es the delicate end armed with a min-
utevdiamond that rests on the glass sur-
face, it is reduced to the required fine-
ness.
Thus, while the hand of the opera-
tg' is covering with writing a sheet of
paper six by nine inches in size, the
letters he forms are duplicated on the
glass by the cutting diamond within
the space of one-five—hundredth part of
a square inch.
What Young Students Will Do.
The Dean of the Boston University
School of Theology knows of fifty
young men in that institution, many of
them with “slenderest financial re-
sources,” who “will not hesitate to
wash windows, run errands, take care
of sidewalks and furnaces, post bills,
distribute circulars, or wait on table.
Their intelligence, business experience,
and guaranteed honesty commend
them to minor positions of trust as
night clerks, collectors of bills and of
reuts.”—Springfield Republican.

WOMEN’S QUEER PETS.
l
I One Girl, Unlike Little Miss Mufl‘et, Loves
l 8 Spider. .
The strangest kinds of pets are of—
I ten chosen by seemingly sensible wo-
men. A marmoset, the very smallest
of the monkey tribe, is the pet of one
household. He was brought from
South America, and cannot get accus-
tomed to the cold Inorthern winters,
and so sits shivering and chattering
until he is taken in hand. He is a. tiny
creature, indeed, for he can make a
bed out of a. lady’s hand, and have
plenty of room. Carried about in the
hand of one or another of the family
all day long, he is as much cared for
as a. tender infant, and is a curious
lack of tricks of any kind.
The pet spider of a certain young
woman is a very interesting study. It
has a home in a box of dirt, and
makes a deep hole, protected by a
round cover fashioned of earth and a
liquid which it exudes. The cover has
a hinge, and if.one opens the house to
peer in the spider comes up and pulls
the cover .down.
The humming birds belonging to a
pretty girl build their nests in the lace
curtains, and have raised little fami-
lies in the parlor. There are plants for
them to fly about in, and every day
the florist/sends a basket of flowers
for them to extract the honey from.
They are like little rainbows flying
about the room, and they light on the
head of their dainty mistress with per-
fect freedom. She seems to have an
affinity for the feathered tribe. Out-
side her chamber window is a box for
a, dove that always sleeps there at
night and peeks at the window "pane
’when it wants to come in. It has per-
fect freedom, but chooses to remain
in the house many hours in the course
of the day. This some young lady
comes in to greet her caller with a ca-
nary poised lightly on her head and a
fluffy bullfinch hopping along after
her. The latter is very jealous of the
I canary, and will peck it and persecute
it whenever it gets a chance. The
swans in the lake in the park will
leave others who are feeding them,
and sail up to this girl, gazing in her
face as if they recognized a known
friend.
A‘ family of girls delight in giving
cat concerts. Their feline pets have
been trained to mew an accompaniment
to the piano. They are taught to mew
at the sound of a certain note by hav-
ing their tails pulled, and finally the
disagreeable recollection of the pain
was sufficient to make them mew
whenever they heard the note struck.
The effect produced by this row of cats
sitting on their hind paws and mewing'
in concert at intervals is irresistibly
comical.
ALiving Flag.
At the recent grand encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic at St.
Paul two thousand children of the
public schools were dressed in red,
white and blue caps, toques and other
garments in such a way that when
massed together and deployed, they
formed a living representation of the
stars and stripes. Marshalled upon a
slope, the veterans of the Grand Army
as they passed on parade saw and sa-
luted with the singing of the “Star
Spangled Ban-ler,” this copy of the
flag for which they had fought, made
up of the very flesh and blood of a ris-
ing generation.
This was to them not only an im-
pressive spectacle, but a significant
emblem of future devotion on the part
of the bone and sinew of the country
to the foundation principles of the re-
public. ~
