LONDON , Sept. 24. Great Britain con
tinued to enjoy fltio though decidedly cooler
weather. The rainfall Is still practically nil
nnd the farmers are bitterly complaining of
the Impossibility of commencing autumn
operations , owing to the adamantine state of
the ground. The recent hot spell brought
a plague of mosqultoa to several counties ,
rc&ulting In the Introduction of American
mosquito nets. The sheep fair at Lanes *
yesterday , had tobo suspended , owing la
the ewarms of mosquitos.
The Soudan war correspondents returned
! to London yesterday evening. They speak
Indignantly of the cavalier treatment they
have been bubjcctcxl to by General Sir Her
bert Kitchener , They nay they were kept
In the dark as to everything that was going
on and they add that their messages were
mutilated by the censor.
U leaked out this week that General
Kitchener had a nariow escape from death
through treachery during the battle of
Omdurman. Ho was riding with bla staff
In front of a Soudanese battalion , which was
advancing , when at least a doz u bullets
whizzed past his head. General Kitchener
galloped away as fast as ha could and word
waa scut to the officer commanding the bat
talion. There la no doubt the perpetrators
were eorao of the recently enlisted dervishes.
The city corporation haa decided to present
General Kitchener with the freedom of the
city and a sword of honor.

and crowds followed him overywhcio. His
first victory aroused Intense enthusiasm and
he was cheered to the echo. A comparison
having been made between the riding of the
late Fred Archer , the famous English jockey ,
and Sloan , Lord William Beresford has given
the opinion that Sloan is a distinctly better
Jockey than ever Archer was.

General Dates , the United States mili
tary attache , has returned to London after
following the French army maneuvers. Ho
said in an interview : "I am profoundly
Impressed by all I saw. The French offi
cers showed more Interest In their profes
sion than any officers I have mot else
where. The men were perfectly trained and
hardy ; but , as with all other European sol
diers I have seen , they lacked the Intelli
gence and smartness of the American regu
lars. I was much stiuck with the perfect
condition of the troops and the efficiency of
the commissariat arrangements nnd general
organization. 1 have never seen such close
attention paid to the smallest details. The
entry movements , too , were equal to those
of the best American regularp. "
In conclusion , General Bates remarked
"The European armlet ) have now solved the
ptoblems of tha oigunlzntion and manage
ment of armies and it would upcra unwlso
for the Unltqd States In rintomplated mili
tary reorganization not to take advantage
of European e.\pcrlenccs In reorganization
of our army. It Is not so necessary for the
United States to invent as it Is for us to
copy and adapt what Is best in the nunlca
of Europe. "

J u n u n ry.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 24. The approach
ing meeting at 1'arla of the British-Ven
ezuela court of arbitration , of which Chief
Justice Fuller and Justice Brewer are.
arbitrators In behalf of the republic , will
hardly bo second In Importance to the
meeting at 1'arls of the peace commission
owing to the crisis which the Venezuela
question raised between the United States
and Great Britain during the Cleveland
administration , and the extent to which the
Monroe doctrlno Is Involved. The present
Plans arc for the court to hold a prelim
Inary session in January , nt which time
Justice Br.ower will g ° to Pans. But Chief
Justice Fuller Is not likely to go to the
flrst meting , as the United States supreme
court will to very busy about that time ,
and tno members of the bench can not bo
spared at the same time. Justice Brewer
probably will arrange fqr a postponement
until May , at which time both he and the
chief Justice will be free to Join the other
arbitrators and take up the serious bus
iness of the commission.
The case and counter cases between Great
Britain and Venezuela have been com
pleted. Minister Andrado of Venezuela re
cently submitted to the British embassy
hero the counter case of the republic , and
simultaneous with this the British counter
case was handed to Dr. Hojas , the Vene
zuelan agent In Paris. The papers make
one of the most voluminous International
controversies ever brought to arbitration
The British case and counter case till eleven
largo volumes , one atlas and a number o
detached maps , while the Venezuelan case
fills six volumes and three atlases. Thus
the court will have before It a record" com
prising seventeen volumes , four atlases am
some additional macs.
With the record all made it remains only
for the counsel for the two parties to sub
mit their briefs. The Venezuelan brlcl
will bo prepared by cx-I'rcsiJcut Harrison
ex-Secretary Tracy and Mr. Malet-Provost
The British brief will be presented by the
foremost lawyers of England , Including
Sir Klchard Webster. It Is expected that
Mr. Harrison and General Tracy will bo
present and make oral arguments when the
court assembles In May. Thus the per
sonnel of the advocates , as well as the
arbitrators , will glvo unusual Importance
to the hearing. The British arbitrators
are headed by Baron Hershol , former lore
chancellor of England , and , like Chief Jua
tlce Fuller , the official head of the Judi
ciary. Associated with him Is Sir Richarc
Honn-Cotllns. The fifth arbitrator , who
occupies the attitude of an umpire , is the
noted Russian Jurist and international law
writer , Maertens. The latter is acting * foi
the arbitrators up to the time of their

WASHINGTON , Sept. 24. The ( secretary
of the interior today made public the an
nual report of Hon. C. M. Barnes , governor
of the territory of Oklahoma. Governor
Barnes says :
"Slnco the passage of the Curtis bill
changing to some extenU the status of the
five civilized tribes and apparently post
poning the question of statehood therein
for several years , the sentiment in Okla
homa is somewhat stronger for immediate
statehood than when I made my last re
port. All political parties ha\o this year
declared in favor of statehood upon such
terms and with such boundaries as may
seem best tv > congress. "
Ho gives full statistics In regard to the
railroads , schools , churches , public lands
farming and grazing and mining industries
and dwells at aotno length upon Oklahoma's
part In the late war.
The report shows a rapidly increasing Inv
migration and a prosperous condition of al
the Industrial interests. The national hanks
report a gain of 50 per cent In deposits over
the previous jcar , of 125 per ctnt In theii
loans and of SO per cent in cash holdings
There are 1,600 school houses In
the territory , and 20 per cent of Cho chll-
dien attend Sabbath school.
The goveinor recommends legislation al
lowing settlers to locate more than 160 acres
In the section formerly known as No Man's
Land , as the land Is valuable only for graz
ing purposes. He thinks Its sel'Uement wll
be slow so long as a citizen can secure only
160 acres , as at present.

RACE AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS

Thnu INilltleal Onen In Coii-
Koxto'n Opinion.
NKW YORK , Sept. 24. A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says : Dr. Congosto , on
the eve of his departure for Spain via New
York , said , in an interview : "Supposing
that Spain has to relinquish her sovereignty
over Cuba , the problem of the Island's future
is a moat difficult one. The difficulty lies
in different directions fiom that gen
erally supposed. The problem Is social nnd
racial , rather than political , I had studied
the question closely for many years before
I came here , nnd studied U without preju
dice , forming all my Judgments without pas
sion and basing them on facts and rational
deductions. It has been my mlsfoituno to
bo constantly misunderstood , although my
aim alwa > H has been , as it is now , to see
the people of Cuba happy and to do nil that
was possible to further that happiness. How
to secure that happiness is the great prob
lem. immigration by 4oooooo or 5,000.000
persona and Increase In the population might
solve it , but how ( hat Immigration la posslbls
in view of the dangers of fever and ths
climatic conditions is a great difficulty. All
I can say Is that it Is my greatest wish for
tha people of Cuba that they shall attain
happiness , "
When asked regarding bla own future ,
Congosto said ho wns leaving the Island an
secretary general of the government , nnd ho
hoped after that to resume his consular
* ervlce. When reference was made to some
sentiment against him In the French colony
by reason of the Tacon theater row , Con-
gpato said : "No ono hero could regret more
than I the occurrence nt the Tacon theater.
Had the power of censorship be n mine thin
play w.ould never have appeared , for I ha\o
always done all in my poner to avoid any
thing that rnlght wound the feelings of
others ; but I have had , nothing to do with
the censorship of plays or responsibility for
It since the flrst of this year. "
