MAY BEJETTLED . President’s Message Does Not Necessarily Mean War With England. SALISBURY HAS A WAY OUT, British Premier May Reopen Negotiations With the Venezuelans, U ’ tHE NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON. M Proposed Winter Evolution Cruise May Be Abandoned—Want the Warship* Close to Home In Case of Trouble. Many Senators and Representatives Personally Congratulate Mr. Cleveland. Preparation of the Noted . Message. Congressional Proceedings. Washington, Dec. 19. — President Cleveland had many callers yesterday, mostly senators and representatives, who came to congratulate him upon the attitude he had assumed in his message. The telegrams which begun to come in Tuesday commending his course were supplemented by letters coming through the mails. Secretary Olney also had his share of callers. h ’’ Although there is nowhere a sngges- * tion of any abatement of our claims, and indeed it is generally recognized that by announcing his determination to hold Great Britain outside of the boundary to be defined by our own com-

SECRETARY OF STATE OLNEY.

mission, the president has left no avenue for retreat, it is still confidently believed here that the difficulty can and will be settled peaceably and with honor to all parties concerned. This belief is based upon the expectation that Great Britain, as Lord Salisbury has indicated in his last note, will re-establish diplomatic > relations with Venezuela. As the revolution in that country has been quelled and the international peace Lord Salisbury demanded as a condition to a resumption of Venezuelan negotiations is restored, he will treat the subject, it is believed and as hte practically promises in his note, in a more compliant spirit ■ than the British government has exhibi ited heretofore in the negotiations, and thus speedily reach an arrangement satisfactory to Great Britaii and Venezuela, and so, as a natural result, acceptable to the United States. In this way Great Britain would avoid , any concession of the right of a third / party to interpose, and likewise escape * an admission of the acceptability or applicability of the Monroe doctrine. It is entirely probable that Great Britain ■will abstain from presenting any evidence in support of her title to the commission, for by so doing she would admit our right to interpose, which is the vital point in the controversy, so that, the commission’s report is likely to fall subject to the same criticism that Lord Salisbury applied to Secretary Olney’s statement, namely, that it is exparte and based entirely on the Venezuelan records. Lord Salisbury’s responses to Secretary Olney’s arguments are not regarded in official circles iq Washington as being weighty or logically strong. The parallel he seeks to draw between the Alaskan boundary question and the Venezuelan boundary controversy utterly it is said, when viewed in the light of the definition of the Alaskan boundary given in the Russian treaty of session. As for his objection, to the injection of the Monroe doctrine into international law and the making of hew international law by the United States, it is recalled that international law, as Speaker Reed once remarked of parliamentary, law, “is not an exact ecience;’’ that it is made and amended from time to time by nations able to support their views, and that the United States has as sound a right to apply this doctrine to American affairs as had some of the European powers by combination to regulate affairs in Europe and force their views upon Oriental nations. o As tne North Atlantic squadron corresponds to the British channel squadron in being charged with the defense . of our most important coast line it may * be that the authorities will take the view prudence would seem to necessitate and abandon the proposed evolu- \ tion cruise, which would take the snips H away from home and leave the coast defehseless, a<jd also would cut them off \ trom their base of supplies in the event | of trouble, tie principal coal ports in < the waters where the drills were to have taken place being in British hands. The plans for the squadron, however, Will not be flJtiid .until Secretary Herbert returns to Washington. The aruored cruiser Maine was yesterday attached to the North Atlantic squadron. The message, of President Cleveland was prepared with remarkable rapidity, considering the length of the document and the itaportance of the subject treated. The president wrote every line of it without having recourse to dictation. Returning to Washington Sun'? — aft*

ernoon he had a conference with Secretary Olney and Secretary Lamont that night, and then sitting down to his desk he worked unremittingly nntil nearly 4 o’clock Monday morning. The result was 15 pages of manuscript In the president’s peculiarly small hand, and ft was all In print before 11 o’clock that same morning. HOUSE ANO SENATE. Bill Passes Appropriating 100,000 For the Venezuelan Investigation. Washington, Dec. 19. — Yesterday’s session of the house did not last an hour, but it sufficed for the passage of a bill authorizing the president l to appoint a commission to investigate the Venezuelan boundary and appropriating 1100,000 for the expenses of the commission. The bill, which carries into effect the recommendations of the president’s message, was prepared by Mr. Hitt (Bep., Ills.) and met the approval of Speaker Reed. Although several Republican leaders expressed themselves in conversation as favoring the reference of the message to the committee on foreign affairs for a report, Mr. Boutelle of Maine was theonly ope who voiced that view on the floor. Speeches for the bill were made by Mr. Hitt and Mr. Crisp, and attempted by other members who could not secure recognition. There was no vote against it and considerable applause was given to the patriotic references in the speeches. The house decided to have its holiday recess extend from Friday, Dec. 10, to Friday, Jan. 3, a vacation of two weeks. The house adjourned over until tomorrow, when Mr. Reed will probably announce his committees. Patriotic Measures Introduced. The senate shared the prevalent sentiment of belligerency yesterday, and from the outset of the session the measures proposed breathed a spirit of patriotism and of preparation for any emergency that might arise concerning Venezuela. The first bill introduced was that of Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, providing an appropriation of SIOO,OOO,OGJ for a heavy increase in the national armament. This was quickly followed by propositions author - izing the secretary of war to purchase a late device of heavy battery and for a report on the feasibility of equipping for service the old ship Constitution. Mr. Hill of New York added to the suggestions of defense by asking immediate consideration for a bill making exconfederates eligible to service in the army and navy. Aside from these steps inaugurating legislation, the day passed without decisive action son the Venezuela question. The senate agreed to a resolution, introduced by Mr. Davis, calling on the president for information as to British or Canadian occupation, military or civil, qf any part cf the United States territory of Alaska. GENERAL COXEY SNUBBED. Georgia Populist* Do Not Enthuse Over the Noted Ohio Commonwealer, > Atlanta, Dec. 19.r—The state convention of the Populist party met yesterday in the hall of the house of representatives for the purpose of appointing delegates tb the next national convention. The feature of the meeting was a snub to General Coxey, who came near being refused an invitation to speak last night. . He was not even invited to a seat on the stand, but occupied unnoticed a seat near the door. The convention was largely attended. Thomas O. Watson was the leading spirit of the meeting, the chief business of which was the selection of 52 delegates to the national convention. A resolution to invite Coxey to speak met with cries of “No! No!” and was declared carried by the chairman after a few faint yeas and many loud nays. Suspend the Whole Crew. San Francisco, Dec. 19.—More trouble is in progress on the revenue cutter Bear. The subordinate officers yesterday admitted that they had forwarded to Washington charges against Lieutenant Buchner, who Was placed in command temporarily when Captain Healy was suspended, but would not state the nature of the charges. Lieutenants Daniels and Dorry of the Bear, who filed the charges against Captain Healy, have themselves been charged by the crew and petty officers with sleeping on watch and neglect of duty; John R. Gentry Will Be Sold. Raleigh, N. C., Pec. 19.—L. Banks Holt and James F. Scott, proprietors of the noted Alamance stock farm at Graham, announce that they will sell at Fasig’s auction sale in New York next February John R. Gentry, Baronet, Governor Holt and the entire string of thoroughbred horses belonging to the farm. Tacoma’s City Treasurer Found Guilty. Tacoma, Deo. 19.—A verdict of guilty was brought in by the jury yesterday against George W. Boggs, ex-dity treasurer, who was charged with fraudulently using public funds for personal gain. The maximum penalty is 10 years in the penitentiary. Sentence has not yet been imposed. Marshal Campos Will Resign. ■ Madrid, Dec. 19.—The Heraldo repeats the statement that Martinez Cam pos will resign the governor generalship of Cuba. k BRIEF MENTION. Coni miners in the Indian Territory are striking for an advance of 15 cents per ton. Charles F. Mayer has resigned the presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company. / . Peck & Bejack, Cincinnati carpet dealers, assigned yesterday. Assets, $30,000; Li Hung Chang says more American missionaries are wanted in China. He also says that they will be protected. Obed W. Wallis, a Chicago wholesale jeweler, assigjied yesterday to Homer B. Galpin. Assets, -815,000; liabilities, $40,000. Paul Bray, the stepson of ex-Couusul Waller of Madagascar, has been appointed as a messenger in the postoilice -department. The lockout of garmentworkers of New York by the bosses'is still on.

This la a Great Big Country. "Few Americans appreciate the vast extent of our national domain," said Colonel Charles C. Moffert of Denver, to the Buffalo Courier. "I firmly believe that sonid'day in the near future we’ll have air lines of transportation between all points—either up in the air or otherwise. I’m bound for New York, and I’d save 12 hours’ travel if I could go in a straight line from Denver to New York. For instance, the air line distance between Chicago and New York la 700 miles; by rail it is 061 miles. From Buffalo to New York it is 295 miles in an air line, 422 miles by rail. Why, our country is so great that the public lands here exceed in the number of square miles the whole of Russik in Europe. The state of Texas is much larger than Austria, Germany or FiGuce; New Mexico is larger than England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales combined; Montana is larger than Norway, Missouri is larger than Turkey in Europe, Kentucky is larger than Portugal, West Virginia is larger than Greece, Arizona is as large as Italy, Indiana is twice as large as Switzerland, and Wyoming and Oregon are as large as Spain. In the event of a successful war of conquest with Great Britain, or by annexation, if the United States should become possessed of Canada, it would add 3,204,818 square miles of territory to the great republic, and our total area would then be 6,807,371 square miles. Wo would still be one-third smaller than the Russian empire and one-third larger than the Chinese empire. ” Peauuts For Consumptives. He gives his patients.as many peanuts as they can eat without injuring their digestive organs. Two young ladies, who had been the rounds of the doctors and taken cod liver oil and tonics till they were nearly dead, were put on this treatment and recovered. Concerning these cases Dr. Brewer says: “I now commenced feeding (do not laugh) peanuts. One would think this a very indigestible diet, but they craved them, and it has always been my policy to find out what my patients desire to eat, and unless it is too unreasonable I humor them. Both young ladies have become quite plump, and after a year’s inhalation (of vinegar fumes) have ceased coughing, and I pronounced them well. The peanut was long known as an excellent fat producer, and much more agreeable than rancid shark oil that oftentimes is sold for cod liver oik While not all caii digest peanuts, a great many, even with feeble digestion, eat . them without discomfort. It beats the Koch lymph and is the most satisfactory treatment I have ever tried for these , diseases.” —Journal of Hygiene. An Insect Cariosity Shop. Properly considered, a beehive is a wonderful shop, and each individual in- ' sect is a curiosity. The inhabitants of a hive are classed as drones, workers and i queen. The queen is the mother of every : insect in the hive, unless she has been ' installed ijistead of a queen who has ! died and left the hive without a mistress. This queen bee is the wonder of the whole insect tribe, as far as egg laying is concerned, often depositing 4,000 eggs a day for days in succession during i the most productive season. The chief wonder connected with the ' worker bee is the admirable manner iii i which his body is shaped and fitted with instruments for honey gathering. These natural instruments consist of cups, combs, brushes, knives, funnels, scrap- ■ ers, etc., each of which is worthy of a week of careful and painstaking study under a high grade .microscope.—St. Louis Republic. A Story of Longfellow. ‘‘By the way, I'll tell you a story of Longfellow. It was told me by Rossetti shortly before bis death. When Longfellow visited England, he.was under the impression that of the.two Rossettis —Dante and William—Dante was the painter and William the poet. Ono day he called on Dante, When be was painting his picture of ‘Dante’s Dream. ’ On gbing away he said, ‘I have been very glad to see you, Mr. Rossetti, and I could have wished to see your brother, but I cannot find the opportunity. Will you tell him how much I admired his poem of ‘Tjie Blessed Damozel?’ The author of ‘The Blessed looked Longfellow in the face-and said, ‘Thank you, Mr. Longfellow, I will tell him.’ ’’ —Hall Caine to Boston Herald Interviewer. Sunday Laws. The Watchman of Boston says the nol tion ‘‘that Sunday laws are of Puritan origin betrays a disposition to make a point rather than accurate historical know ledge. The Huguenots from France enacted them in South Carolina, and the cavaliers from the court of Charles I in Virginia. The very first statue passed by the cavaliers of Virginia provided that he who did not attend church on Sunday should pay a fine of tWo pounds of tobacco. This was' the first law ever enacted in the United States and was passed in 1017, three years before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth. Not as Rough as It Seemed. A writer on football says the game is not as rough as it seems. .The same was true of the battle of Chickamauga, in which two-thirds of the men ~,escaped without a scratch, tile killed, wounded and missing 'numbering only about 30,000.—St. Globe-Democrat.

English Tarts and American Pie. Mr. Kipling’s scientific characterization of a certain area of the American continent as the New England pie belt was good wit, and yet when you meet the English pie in a life and death struggle yon wonder how Mr, Kipling can see the funny side of anything. I don’t wish to traduce, to bring the pallor of humiliation to the cheek of the English pie, which, indeed, is respectable and built to stay by you, but I must say that the pie of the genus Britannicum is not to my mind the ideal pie. I happened to be in England during the annual sway of the plum tart, and on one occasion shyly broke the pallid crust of one of this species. It was a desolate, sour experience, akin t*> the condition in which you work your famished way through a lifeless hunk of English bread. On such occasions of gastronomic craving and depression I resolutely tightened my own pie belt another bole and made dessert of my glowing and savory memories of Parisian pastry. As their pie, so a people. Quoth Mr. Beecher once in an interview I was trying to conduct with him at the dinner table of the lamented Grand Pacific: ‘‘Pie, sir, goes with civilization. Where there is no civilization there is no pie. ” But there is pie and pie.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Lee's Answer. Early in the war, before Lee had demonstrated his pre-eminence as the southern leader, he was severely criticised on more than one occasion by a certain General Whiting. Whiting had stood at the head of his class at West Point, and was considered, nqt only by himself, but by others, as a very bright and capable man. One day President Davis, wishing an officer for some highly important command, called upon General 'Lee for advice. ‘‘What do you think of Whiting?” asked Davis. Lee answered without hesitation, commending Whiting as one of the ablest men in the army, well qualified in every way for even the most responsible position. One of the officers present was greatly surprised, and at the first opportunity drew Lee aside. “Don’t you know what unkind things Whiting has been sayingabout you?” he inquired. Lee’s answer was of the best. “I understood,” he said, “that the president desired to know myopinion of Whiting, not Whiting’s opinion of me.” —Philadelphia Inquirer. / Measure Your Friends. “Did you ever amuse yourself,” asks the London Gentlewoman, “on a wet Sunday afternoon by giving marks qf appreciation or the reverse to all you? friends and acquaintances? This is the method we employ: There are five heads —l, looks; 2, manners; 3, abilities; 4, merit, and 5, ‘use’ —and this fifth item often balances all the rest, for a person may quite likely possess nearly full marks fpr looks, manners, abilities and merit and yet be of no possible ‘use’ to oneself, while, vice versa, some person may be of great use, one may fancy their company, or they may have a knack of sympathy, yet be very deficient in manners or merit. The marks range from 0 to 20, and if you are quite conscientious in awarding your marks you will be surprised to find how the law of averages comes in, and how much the sum total of one individual’s marks resembles another. ” Stenographers of Latin Phrases. Stenography played an important part at the ecumenical council of 1870. Pius IX, needing skillful stenographers, who should be discreet, asked a priest of Turin to select them among 24 seminarists of all nations. They were made to swear solemnly that they would not reveal a phrase of the deliberations. A few days before the opening of the council, the pope summoned the 24 stenographers in order to be perfectly sure that they understood the Latin pronunciation of various countries. He asked: “How would you stenograph the following phrase, pronounced by au English ecclesiastic, ‘Erma varrumque keno?’ ” ' The unanimous reply was “Arma virurdque cano. ” Several of these stenographers have attained high positions in the church. —Journal des Debates. No Ghost of Color. “The other night at the dinner said Mr. Biidad, “little Obadiah surprised us all by asking why it was that with all the colored pepple dying no one ever saw a black ghost. It was a most novel question, qnd it threw the other children iuto’ h state of feverish excitement. After they had tried to solve it, but without success, they appealed to me, and in piy most impressive tone I replied that it was for the same reason that with all the white people dying no one ever saw a white ghost.”—Elmira Gazette. Just Like a Man For All the World. The mighty feminine mind is nowhere more resplendent than in the elaboration of cooking recipes. “Bake a duck 40 minutes,” says the lady cooking teacher. If the clumsy masculine intellect were preparing the recipe, undoubtedly it would say bake 40 minutes in anoven heated to a given temperature. The lady teacher, however, with sublime i&ith in the intuitional faculty of, the cook, says merely bake so long, whether the oven be redhot or nearly cold.—Amsterdam (N. Y.) Democrat. Music Hath Charms. 4 Gontran occupies apartments immediately below ~a pianist and composer who kicks sip a terrible rumpus all the day long. Yesterday, maddened to fury by the incessant row, Gontran ran up stairs and burst into the room of his tormentor:“Sir, I can’t stand this any longer. You would bring a corpse to life! What are you playing now?” “That, ” coolly remarked the pianist, gently combing out his hair with his fingers, “is a slumber song. ” —Voix du People. i- r V

A Memory of St. Helen*. When'Napoleon Bonaparte arrived at St Helena, he was in a pretty bad humor. His valet had forgotten to put any cigarettes in his grip, there was no beer on the ship, and one of the midshipmen had put a lot of red pepper into his snuff. He hadn’t slept well either, as the captain’s pet r doeter woke him up by crowing punctually at 8:30 o’clock every morning. As he stepped ashore he fell into the usual pose, one hand on the pit of his stomach and the other just below his kidneys. Seeing his abstraction, the faithful Dr. O’Meara approached and said: “Well, sire, what do you think of the prospect?” “From the looks of things,” replied the great emperor, gazing thoughtfully at the huge masses of stone and the frowning cliffs, “from the locks of things, I imagine that we are going to I have a pretty rocky time of it. ”—Florida Times-Union. Had the Last Word. /A group of children were going home I tom school. They were little girls beween the ages of 7 and 10 years, and, following the, ’example of their older sisters, were discussing their clothes. “I have a lovely new dress that 1 am going to wear to church next Sunday,” said one of them. “Pooh!” said a little one with brown eyes. “I have got a new hat, and I’m going to wear it every day. ” This was too much for the little girl who was clothed the most shabbily in the party, and she said: “I don't care. I have got heart disease, anyway.” And the others looked enviously at her. —Chicago Chronicle. The Way, to Make a Lawn. “I should like to have such turf as this,” oneesaid an'American millionaire to an Oxfor?K.gardener. “Tell me, my man, how you manage it.” And he fumbled significantly in his pockeT as though to indicate a willingness to pay for the required information. “Well, sir,” was the reply, delivered with the quaint humor of an old college retainer, “it’s werry simple. You cuts it as close as ever yon can cut, an you j rolls it an cuts it for 600 years. ” —Good Wozds. * The Declaration of War. Gustavus Adolphus cf Sweden was, it is said, the first to dispense with the regular declaration of war. Frederick the Great made no declaration of war before his invasion of Silesia, the act of aggression which brought on the seven years’ Is This True or. Not?

T — Exchange of prisoners was practiced in vbry early tirhes by both the Greeks and the Romans. Faithfulness of a Dog;. Mrs. Jessie Bei)ton Fremont, in her story of “The Guard,” a body of ygjing men who followed “Ibe Pathfinder” into the civil war ant] made a brilliant record for their courage and gallantry, ■ tells a pathetic little story of a dumb I beast who also was loyal and courageous. | While the guftrd—a body of cavalry-— | was drilling one day neajj St. Louis, a' i little terrier followed ope of the i men, Hen' Wisa, a Hungarian officer, I going with him to camp. He could not i be driven away; i The ii:en all made a pet of him and named him the “Corporal;” but, though j he was arable to them all, he made tfie i Hungarian soldier his cotppanioh aiid ! friend, sleeping at his feet at night and 1 following him by dayf* When the guard made their memorable chargeaf Springfield, Mo., the ‘tCorporal” charged with them, keeping beside his master’s horse throughout the battle. Herr Wisa was wounded and fell apparently dead in a thicket. Thp corps swept past, his horse fled, wild with terror, but the little “Corporal” nestled close him, licking his face and' trying to rouse him. * There the dog remained through the bitter cold niglit. When morning came, l he rau to th§ distant road, and by his frantic barks and cries induced a passerby to enter the thicket. The man, seeing only a cold, stiff body, supposed the soldier to be dead and would have hurried on, but the “Corproal’ ’ furiously drove him back andwould not be silenced until he saw his master move and speak, when he crouched, dumb and contented, at his feet. - Drake's Drink. The-Chicago Post tells a number of characteristic stories about the late John B. Drake, for so many years proprietor of the Grand Pacific hotel,’ Chicago. On one vocation a traveling man saw him go into the little room behind the key box frame and drink some water, as was his habit, and he accosted the little • man John, why don’t you patronize the bar—drink mineral water, cideror some such thing, instead of that plain water? If I owned this place, I’d have the best, you can bet. ” “I had to break the ice out of the water bucket winter mornings and melt it to get a drink,” replied Mr. Drake, “when I was a boy, and somehow just plain, clearwatfu- out of a white pitcher does me quite well. ” “How long have you been with John B. Drake, Henry?” asked a big politician of the parlor floor colored man. “Thirty,years,” said Henry Bradley, "and I hope I’ll be with him 30 years longer. He always keeps his old hands. ” Henry was in the employ of Mr. Drake to the time of the hotel man’s death.
