Dr. C. A. Bell was taken to the Central Insane Asylum yesterday for the sacond time. He unfortunately has become addicted to tha use of cocaine and it results in a temporary derangement of the mind. He was at Indianapolis recently for treatment and returned, as his friends hoped, cured, but it seems he has agAin resorted to the use of the baneful drug. It is to be hoped the treatment thi3 time will have more beneficial and lasting effects.

Samuel A. Purdie, who has been a missionary for the Friends' church in Mexico for 24 years, will lecture at the Friendd' church here next Wednesday night. His subject will be "Spanish America" and the lecture no doubt will be quite interesting. There are two subjects we should know more about, one is the history and resources of our own country, and the other is, we should be well acquainted with our neighboring countries.

S. P. Mattox and wife, of Stark, Neosho county, Kansas, are here this week visiting Mrs. M.'s brother, Anton Raba, one of Sugar Creek township's leading farmers and most respected citizens. Mr. M. is an old Hoosier, having been raised near Lafayette, this state, but this* was his first visit to Hancock county, and he is well pleased with it. Mr. and Mrs, Raba .and their guests were here in Greenfield today visiting some of our industries, such as the glass factories, paper mill,ice factory, etc.,looking through onr big stores and inspecting some of our magnificent buildings, which are now going up. They called at the REPUBLICAN office, as both gentlemen are old and valued patrons. Mr. Stark is a successful farmer in one of the best parts of Kansas, where the farm crops are abundant, but says the price is remarkably low. Oats are only 10 cents a bushel, new corn 12 cents and hay from $1.00 to $1.50 per ton. Unless a man is close to market the railroads gobble up too large a percentage of the value of a farm crop. This is the reason we should build up manufacturing industries in the United States and in all parts of this country.

MZUELA QUESTION

It Is Fast Approaching the Crucial Test.

PROSPECTS OP HOSTILITIES.

CoTevisov of Advised to Get Without Delay Couple of Maxim Gun. Chaiulwri.iin Evidently Goins to Hold

Up tlj- hchombiirgli Ltine—The News in V.'ash:sisi«jn. LONDON, Oct. 19.—The St. James Ga

zette makes some highly important and sensational statements regarding Venezuela, which seem to show that the dispute between that republic and Great Britain has assumed a very grave aspect. It iys that since the Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain assumed the office as secretary of state for the colonies, he has paid close personal attention to the question of the relations between Great Britain and Venezuela, aud that lie has taken the initiatory in directing in part the administration of the affairs of the British colony of Guiana, adjoining Venezuela.

Mr. Chamberlain's hand, it appears, lias oeeu teit in the local executive council, uiiu. the bo. James Gazette adds: "We are now enabled to give the tenor of a remarkable dispatch, in which is outlined the imperial policy toward the colonies. The document is of much importance, inasmuch, as it vwis i'ullowed by cabled instructions from Mr. Chamberlain to the yovornor of British (Julana, Sir Charles Cameron Lees, K. C. M. G.. to obtain without delay a, vote for the provision of two nuviinu guns, one of wliicn lS to be stationed at Urui.ui or elsewhere along the frontier where Venezuelans may attempt to cross. The mere fact that Mr. Chamberlain cabled instructions ior the defense of cue frontier this manner is positive proof that the imperial government will not tolerate a repetition of the Uruan incident, and that it intends to hold tlie frontier within the iSchomburgli line by force if necessary. "In this dispatch Mr. Chamberlain advocates especially fostering gold mining, and urges the cutting of a road from the Upper Barinia river to Cuyuni, pointing out its importance from a military point of view, as it would enable the government to keep more closely in touch with the frontier and repel attempts at Venezuelan aggression, adding that in view of the possibly early and rapid expansion of gold mining it will be necessary to provide adequately for the protection of the northwest district, aud recommending an increase in the number of military aud police, as well as the erection of barracks on the frontier."

VIEWS IN WASHINGTON.

Great lute rest Manifested in Chamberlain's Actions. WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—At the Brit

ish embassy there was much interest evinced in the action of Minister Chamberlain on the Venezuelan boundary question, as announced by the St. James Gazette. The embassy was with

out

oiiicial a^vicos, however, and ic was thought that any steps on this and other South and Central American questions would be taken in London, cuted at the point effected, and not ummuuioated to the British diplomatic lOpiL-ft. mutives in the United States. It uas been evident to diplomats here for some time that the British foreign office views all these questions as issues between Great Britain and the parties immediately involved, and does not recognize tne United States as a factor in the questions.

In diplomatic circles the personality of Mr. Chamberlain is being discussed in connection with his order. When he was in Washington as a member of the fisheries commission all Ms utterances were extremely cordial to the United States, and he coined the expression, "Blood is thicker than water," as applying to the blood relation between Englishmen and Americans. At that time he met Miss Endicott, the daughter of the secretary of war in Mr. Cleveland's first- cabinet, and married her. Thus in word and action he was regarded as typifying the broadest English sentiment toward the United States. For this reason there is surprise that he should be the first to urge maxim guns for the Venezuela boundary. Those who are intimately acquainted with Mr. Chamberlain say that his letter to Sir Charles Let's is indicative of the determined attitude he will adopt in all questions of colonial policy. He is regarded as a Radical in action as to politics.

Among leading diplomats it is coiiflidered as settled that the British government wili insist that any arbitration will not under any circumstances cmbrace the tract on the British Guiana side of the Schornburgh line.

The Uruan incident, as mentioned in the cable, has been pending for months. The chief of police of British Guiana and several of his officers were arrested by Venezuelan soldiers while on the disputed bolder tract. The British officials w.ew few in number, and could make no resistance to being taken to a Venezuelan town and held as prisoners. They were quickly released, however, on the filing of protests. But the British chief of police claimed that he had been improperly treated while under arrest, and he proceeded in person to London to lay the matte? before the colonial office. Sin$e then no action has been taken and it is probable the action of the colonial minister is made with a view to preventing a repetition of the border arrests. 2 VENEZUELA ARMING.

Improved Maxim Guns Already Ordered From a ltritish firm. NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—That the Ven

ezuelan question is approaching an acute stage, with possibilities of resistance by the South American government to British aggression, was signified by disclosures just made in New York on the best authority. The government of Venezuela is providing itself with modern armament and among other supplies has ordered 10 improved maxim guns from the British firm which maliilfactures them. The order was placed through a New York firm, the English house, it is supposed does not know the destination of the goods.

At the same time the syndicate of United States capitalists which has secured concessions on the Veiiezaelan gold lands claimed by Great Britain, is

pr sparing to send a large force of prospectors, miners and workmen into the field. William N. Safford, counsel for the Orinoco company—the American syndicate—made plain yesterday the position assumed by the Orinoco company. "The company," said he, "proposes to work its concessions without delay. It will send prospectors along the line of the Iinataca mountains, whose foothills are supposed to be rich with gold mines. That territory is, of course, in the company's concessions and has always been marked so on the map. But now, that there is a prospect of gold there, Great Britain claims it. Arrangements are being made to send our men there to develop the company's concessions—not with any intent to start a controversy, but to assert the company's rights. Besides the mines there are other properties in the concessions awaiting development. "Great Britain refers to the Schomburgli line, but the fact is she has gone beyond that. This line is purely imaginary. Sir Robert Schomburgh visited Venezuela in 1840, and starting at Point Bavema merely drew a line southward on the map. The Venezuelan government has conclusive evidence that he made no survey. In 1850 Great Britain asserted that it had no intention to occupy or usurp disputed territory. So matters went until 1885. In that year rich gold fields, now yielding $4,000,000 a year, were discovered west of the Schomburgh line, between the Guyama and Paraman rivers. They are known as the Barema gold fields and are 50 to GO miles west of the Schomburgh line. Nevertheless Great Britain promptly stepped in and claimed that territory. Aud so she has gone on since, claiming land wherever gold has been discovered. The Orinoco company claims those gold fields as being in its concessions, and proposes to stand up for its perfectly clear title to them."

The Crisis Approaches.

LONDON, Oct. 19.—Sir Charles Cameron R. Lees, governor of British Guiana, has been summoned to London to confer with Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, upon Venezuelan affairs.

A WOMAN PHYSICIAN SUICIDES An Accideut Had Compelled Her to UBB Crutches.

BUFFALO, Oct. 19.—Dr. Abbie J. Seymour, a distinguished woman physician, and an artist of repute, deliberately took her own life by throwing herself in front of a fast West Shore train near the waterworks station.

She had been compelled to use crutches since last spring, when she suffered an accident to the nerves of her hip while attending the Post Giaduate medical, college' at Chicago. This affliction had preyed upon her mind until she succumbed to melancholia. She leaves a sister in Chicago, Mrs. Moms Gynne, and a stepmother and another Sister in New York. She was born in Batavia, N. Y., 42 years ago.
