Imperialism and constitutionalism are both defined most dearly in two documents given to the world within a few months of each other one hundred and eight years ago. One waa the address of Napoleon Uonaparte to the army of Italy when rie took command of it toward the end of March. 17'J6: the other waa tha address of George Washington declining to be a candidate for a third Presidential term Issued to tha American people In September of the ea me year.

Leisurely he made his way up Broadway, playing as be went, and singing every now and then the words. 'Way down In my heart have a eelln' for you." At Twenty-ninth Street he met a policeman, who listened and decided that a man who played a fiddle as badly as he did ought not to be loose.

ASHINOTON, Aug. The first official account of the action of the Venesue-lan Government in respect to the seizure of the properties of the New Tork and Bermudas Asphalt Company. has come to the State Department la a cablegram from Minister Bowen, at. Caracas. wan says that because of the company's falluro to.

carry out certain portions of it concessions, especially those requiring It to dig canals, dredge channels In the rivers, and export other products than asphalt, the Venexuelan Government asked the court to order an embargo, (corresponding to the ordinary American Injunction.) and to appoint a custodian or receiver. The court laid the embargo and appointed A. H. Career as custodian. He sailed on a Venexuelan warship tor the nearest port to the Asphalt lakes, and reached th properties before notloe suit was served on the defendant company.

Minister Bowen explains that while th statutes of Venezuela authorise embargo proceedings In the case of laaaea. this would scarcely apply to the New Tork and Bermudea Asphalt Company properties. which are held under concession, i While the New Tork and Bermudea Company is aa American in corporation and moat of Its stock is owned the bonds of the company are held to the -extent of about a million 'dollars la England, gtvlng the British Government the right to inter vene to protect Its citizens' interests.
