Great Britain Getting Entirely Too Fresh.

-VERY MOMENTIOUS QUESTION.

the Tniti'd Stiitcs Jlust Keep Out of the

Veiieziu-Iiin Air.iir—Tho Monroe Doctrine

Must ISo Upheld by tlie l'roscnt Ail-

ministration.

WASHINGTON, April 4.—There is reason to believe that t-lie British government has given our ambassador, Mr. Bayard, to understand, in response to his representatives in the Venezuelan boundary matter and his suggestion that it be submitted to arbitration, that it must persist in regarding the subject as one in which only Great Britain and Venezuela are concerned

Of course the idea was set out very diplomatically and courteously, so as to avoid giving offense as far as possible, while still making it plain that the United States could not be regarded as having any proper interest in the matter. As it stands, tho British government still insists upon its absolute title and right to occupy all of the territory to the eastward of the Schomberg line, while professing a willingness to submit to arbitration its claims to the lands lying west of that line. This was the offer made, to Venezuela years ago, and it has not been modilLcd in any respects since, notwithstanding Mr. Bayard's efforts. lr- has been intimated that the United States mi gilt acquire a light to intervene in hel li" of Venezuela by declaring a -protectorate over that country waii the. assent of its people, and behind tiiis suggestion is at least me of the great tair ean powers who would be '..lad to

have

its relations with tlioi

disturbed co.ntrYs of Soni'ii and Centra1 Anv-ica piae.'-i on a sva.iie basis sothat it i. i.V!?" 1 i-.iic to sc. 1 :ie thoroughly r--pons1 il" Highly civilized govern men ti en-uvo the permanence of vrad' and -evear ireipicnt revolutions. But to., concede the neei'ssity for such a protecVorale as a prerequisite to interfering. prevent the iifqnisiriou of Americanterritory by an European power would •ill!''ftiut to renunciation of the Monroe doetrve !v t!ie Uuited rtrates. and this cm n1" be-contemplated by the administration.

There are indications that the British foreign o'iice oliicials are willing to discuss 'this feature of the case with Mr. Bayard at length, and so the negotiations may drag along for many months unless a' collision occurs between the British and Venezuelan forces in the disputed territory, or the new Minnesota company forces an issue by beginning operations under the large concession it^has obtained from Venezuela of lands in that section.

It is apparent" that the progress of Mr. Bayard's efforts are being watched with intense interest by all of the diplomatic representatives of the South and Central .American countries stationed in Washington, for they realize that the issue may be of vital importance to all of them in the future. They had expected that the administration would be called npon to assume a definite position in re-

Sect

to tho extent it would permit the uropean powers to interfere iu the affairs of tho American republics in the recent San Dominican affair, but the United States was enabled to avoid the issue owing to concessions on the part

France resulting in an American cable adjustment of her differences with the Dominicans.

One of these diplomatic representatives, in speaking upon this subject, j-omarked that the majority of the southern republics were staggering under foreign debts and were unable longer to meet their obligations. They could not meet the interest 011 these debts, much less could they pay off the principal, owing to the terrible commercial depression. Some of these countries had defaulted on their interest 011 foreign debts, and in others, notably Costa Rica, it was now proposed to repudiate at least half of the de'ofc

The question confronting these countries is whether the United States will •stand by and permit the creditor nations of Europe to collect these debts by force. Meanwhile, to strengthen their claim for protection upon the United States, there is progress among the smaller and weaker republics a movement to entangle their interests with our own, so as to make it a matter of deep concern to our people should any European power attack tlieni.

The iirst indications of this policy was seen in the claim of San Domingo to exemption from the French demand •upon her revenues 011 the ground that these had all been farmed out to an American corporation, which Mould be ruined by compliance with the French demand. Then there is the recent concession made to an American corporation to Venezuela Co force the Tjnited States into the issue bet-ween her and Great Britain by motives of direct selfinterest-, and in other countries there lias been adopted a policy of farming out to syndicates certain privileges, tiuch as the right to import tobacco and opium and the collection of custom duties.

Venezuela loes Not Want Trouble.

lioMK, April 4.—Count Magliano, who was sent to Venezuela by the Italian government, has arrived at Caracas, where he has had a conference with the Venezuelan government respecting olio Kuropean claims. The count has cabled the Italian government that the new Venezuelan ministry appears to be desirous of a pacific solution of the incident between Venezuela and France and Belgium arising from the comments of the representatives of the latter two countries on Venezuela's treatment of foreign claims.

Privileges of a Prayer.

Los ANGELKS, April 4.—In a decision rendered in connection with the suit for «lander brought by MissTesca A. Kelso, 'librarian of the public library here, against Rev. J. C. Campbell, Judge Clark overruled the demurrer of the defendant that his statement was privileged, because it was uttered in the course of a prayer before his congregation in the First Methodist Episcopal ohurch. The court holds that 110 prayer containing a slander publicly uttered can be exempt from legal consequences, and that no communication made by a pastor to his congregation is privileged peoause of such relation.

STRANGE BURGLAR.

Hotel IVoritur Who Is Supposed to Be Known in Many Cilies.

NRW YOUK, April 4.—A man who said he was Samuel .T. Richards, but who refused to give his address, is locked up in the Church-street police station on the charge of burglary.

The police believe he is one of the gang of thieves who have been working the hotels of this and other cities during the past six months. The man was arrested Tuesday in the Murray Hill hotel as he was about to engage a room by Detective McMurrayof the Astor House.

He registered a week ago at the Astor House as J. W. Richardson of Louisville, and was assigned to room No. 830, on the fourth floor. He had not been in the hotel long before the guests who occupied adjoining rooms began to report thefts of small articles from their rooms.

He left suddenly and. suspicion attaching to him, detectives located him at the Murray Hill, where he was registered as Henry W. Isiles of Cincinnati.

At the Church street- station jewelry that Astor House guests had lost was found in his pockets.
