The policy which the commission will Rilopt 1m teir.g awaited with much interest ty those most concerned. The act makes the commission Independent .f the .-state Department and all executive control, so that It will be for the body Itself to decide on the method of procedure and whether It will uo abroad to search foreign archives. Doubtless in such a matur the wishes of the President and rcrdary of State would have much weight, yet the commission is an independent quasi-judicial body, w-hleh 1.- responsible for Its own actions. Home of the international authorities say that even the evidence to be offered by the State Department will have the same weight and treatment anl no more than the evidence coming from other sourrt-s. as It I pointed out that the commission will not prejudice the case by assuming the correctness of the attitude of the State Department. On the part of flreat Brilain there is a rrowing impression in official quaitirs thai Indirect participation in the work of the commission will be secured. The British nttitude of late has been favorable to nn Investigation by the I'nlted States of the basis of the British claims, for it is felt that l he Inquiry hail been ex parte up to the time of the action by Congress.

Unfortunately, when Lord Salisbury came Into power In 1SS3 one of his first acts was to cancel "the arbitration clause so far as it covered the boundary dispute." The article then proceeds: "As a result of our inquiries we tlnd that Sir Robert Schomburg gave no proof of the existence of a Dutch fort at Point Uarima upon which the evidence in favor of the northern portion of the boundary depends." After a detailed discussion of this point, in connection with the archives, the Chronicle concludes:"1 "On the wholtv our researches have convinced us that while there is good grours for accepting the extravagant Venezuelan claims, there exl3ts a debatable land towards both the north and the south of the Schomburg line. This is virtually admitted by Lord Salisbury, and It will be a grave error should the public Imagine that a rigid inslstance. upon the b:;homburg line and the declaration that we do not admit arbitration on one side of that line, constitute the essence of the English case."

In the dispatch referred to It was stated that the United States government had been sounding Russia regarding the dispute with Great Britain on the Venezuelan question, and the former was said to have received the most favorable reply, it being declared that the Russian government shares President Cleveland's views on the subject and Is prepared to support them at any rate diplomatically. It was added that it was not impossible that the United States had received the support of Russia In her present financial roubles. According to the reml-offlclal statement of to-day, Russia will observe complete neutrality in tho matter, her interests not being affected by the .Venezuelan dispute.

Frederick Harrison, the well-known critic and reviewer, lecturing In London last evening, sail that the Venezuela crisis presented a vry real danger and would leave formidable problems unsolved. The Monroe doctrine expressed a policy which all that was wise in English opliion must desire to prevail. A most striking fact, he said, was the absolute isolation of England. In the event of war the United States would suffer In the first Instance, but in the end would raise such a fleet and army that she would eventually be triumphant against Europe. JINGOISM V-Am:iUCAX. Prof. John Flike Much Grieved Over Recent Demonstrations. Boston Transcript. It Is high time that the wickedness, the silliness and the vulgar)ty of all this Jlngolsm should be thoroughly exposed. It is enough to make any tnoughtful patriot 1I ush for shame to behold the spectacle for gods and men which our country has been making of herself during the past ten days. I'eople are apt to sneak of the United States as a 'young nation. One of the least agreeable aspects of youthfulness Is that which we have now been exhibiting. We Joave been behaving like the schoolboy who jjoes up and do-wn among his fallows with a chip on his shoulder, vociferating 'I can lick any one of you. With young male animals a brief period of such aimless belligerency seems unavoidable; but when grown up men indulge themselves in such pranks e stigmatize them as bullies. Men of sense do not regard swagger and tall talk as Indications either of wisdom or of good breeding; when applied to questions concerning which there may be room for. dispute, they are apt to indicate that the swaggerer has a weak case. -Jingoism is by some thoughtless people called 'Americanism In truth nothing could be more un-American. There Is nothing which the greatest and wisest oi Americans. Washington and Lincoln, 'woc'.a have more emphatically condemned. The noble example which our country has set before the world has been the example i cf a vast federation in which States no less ' man individuals are amenable to the laws. O'lr whole federal system has been for a century tne inosi picnic system tne world lias ever teen, and in this has lain its true dignity and glory, as well as Us unexampled prosperity. Upon this prosperity we are wont to pride ourselves; we exuit in the growth of our resources, the vastness of our strength, till' wc are la danger o; bein led astray by the mere impetus of our magniloquence. Unless Justly, morally and decentlv used, our strength is no credit to va. If that vast strength were to be pressed Into the service of Jingoism. It would simply result in making the United Stares a pest and nuisance among nations. With the possession of advantage goes the moral obligation to use them properly. "But. ii.deeJ. the people of th?

MARCHING WESTWARD

LATEST REGARDING THE MOVEMENTS OF. CUBAN INSURGENTS. It Is Said the Forres of Gomes nnd Macro Are Pushing on to the Towns of Paleu and Alfonso XIII. HAVANA. Jan. 1. The news received from the front to-day tends to confirm previous deductions made regarding the movements of the insurgents. It is admitted once more that the Cubans are again marching westward, and with the intention apparently of pushing for Los Paleu, a small town on the railroad leading to Guines. and well westward of Matanzas, and the town of Alfonse XIII. Paleu is slightly southward and a little to the west of Cabezas, the most-westerly point yet reached by the Insurgents, and where they are reported to have burned the railroad station a day or so ago. The Spanish officials explain this movement westward by saying that the insurgents intend to return eastward towards the province of Santa Clara, through the northern part of the Sagua district. But, as this would be the most roundabout and utterly incomprehensible way of proceeding eastward, the friends of the insurgents ridicule the'.idea, and continue insisting that the forces of Gomez and Maceo are steadily pushing westward. MILITARY LIFE IN HAVANA A Belshnzzars Feast for the Higher Officers of the Spanish Army. Philadelphia Telegraph. A prominent Philadelphia merchant. just returned from a protracted business trip to Havana and adjacent provinces, brings back with him some lively recollections of military life, at the Cuban capital, which smack of the ridiculous, in some instances. and in others justify the current report that the real fighting material is to be found in the ranks of the revolutionists. In Havana the headquarters of the commanding generals of the Spanish forces, scenes are daily enacted, according to this returned traveler, that could be molded into screaming footlight farces or would throw into the shade almost any of the comic operas that at present adorn the American stage. In fact, it is a regular Belshazzar's feast for Spanish officers of the higher rank, who live a life of elegance and ease and draw upon the best resourcesof the capital In , administering to their gastronomic and bacchanalian tastes. ,IThe life about the two principal Havana liJstelrles, the 'Angletene' and the 'Pasage is a study for the foreigner unfamiliar with Spanish habits and customs," said the Philadelphia merchant. ''One afternoon I saw a general of the army in full military dress promenading down the street, escorted by a platoon of soldiers. His soldierly mien was awe-inspiring, and his knitted brow betokened the pursuit of a mission the Importance of which to him was fully understood by his faithful guardsmen. When the little procession came opposite the. Angleterre it halted, and his generalship. In the mellifluous Spanish tongue, conveyed to the men the desire of his hear., or rather his stohnach, which meant In English as she is spoken: " 'I want a drink. "The file of soldiers divided and, with the general between the ranks, they marched into the hotel refectory. The general advanced to the bar, and close ranks were formed behind him. The drink was ordered and pushed into the warrior's visage, while the thirsty retainers looked on and sighed. . Again open ranks and the departure, after the style of .the. approach, to the sidewalk, where the line of march was taken up to the Pasa*** for another touch of the Posy." The nights are given up to swell social functions, at which "the" Spanish heroes are petted and lionized, while the rank and file are at the front stemming the tide of approaching insurgents. One thing that made a strong Impression upon the American observer was the extreme youth of many of the newiy-ellsted Spanish troops. A few days before his departure from Havana several thousand soldiers were landed at the capital, ranging in ages from fifteen to elghleen or nineteen years, many of them scarcely able to shoulder a musket, and the object of sympathy from all rightminded people. The, severest task the Spanlards have to perform is to keep the enlisted Cubans in the. ranks. Few Cubans openly express sympathy with the insurgents, through fear of imprisonment, but when Impressed. Into, the Spanish service they embrace the first' Opportunity to desert to the other side. Properly accredited foreigners are seldom disturbed or annoyed, though the diplomatic lines are very much tightened, and a tax of $1 upon entering the country and $1 upon departing is imposed upon all strangers as a war measure. Strangers who have busines upon the island wisely keep out of the district occupied by the insurgent armies, and all agree that the present revolution Is far more formidable In character than Spanish sympathizers care to admit. aMMHMBMSSMSMsassssai REN E W A L OF OUTRAGES. Fresh Disturbances Reported nt Orfnh, In Asiatic Turkey. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 31. According to a dispatch from Orfah, Asiatic Turkey, there have been fresh outbreaks there on Saturday and Sunday. . No details of the disturbances have yet reached here. In reply to the demand of the United States minister, Alexander W. Terrell, the Turkish government, has ordered the Vali of Aleppo to furnish an escort to Miss Shattuck and three native teachers from Orfah to Aintab. Mr. Terrell has received information which shows that all the missionaries in Anatolia are In safety. The Turkish government has , given an evasive reply to the offer of the representatives of the powers to mediate with the Zeltounlls. The embassadors resent the stand taken by the Porte and the dragomans are urging the Turkish officials to accept the offer. No dehnite information is obtainable from Zeitoun, although it is believed that place is still holding out against the Turks and that the latter are suffering severely on account of the severity of the weather. t A dispatch from Canea, island of Crete, says that the Cretan revolutionary committee has informed the foreign consuls that It declines to surrender.

Lenz. the Pittsburg wheelman, have escaped and that in the present unsettled state f affairs at Erzerum and throughout Armenia pursuit would be useless. It seems that in so far as its object of avenging the death of Lenz is concerned Sachtleben's mission has proven an utter failure. Russian Influence Hears Fruit. LONDON, Jan. 1.

At an early hour this morning the situation of affairs in the street-railway trouble was very grave. The employes were then in executive session with their leaders and various committees and It was evident from the atmosphere of things that a second strike could be easily precipitated. The matter under discussion was the result of a conference held earlier in the night by a subcommittee of the employes and General Manager Beetem, of the Union Traction Company. This meeting lasted three hours and at its conclusion the aspect of affairs was favorable for an adjustment of the difficulties. In answer to questions the men said they came as employes of the company, but do not denytnelr membership to the Amalgamated Association of Railway Workers, which has been the stumbling block throughout. An earnest discussion then followed on the proposition made by the company last Monday night, asking the men to agree that all differences be adjusted if the two hundred imported motormen an! conductors were put at the foot of the "extra" list, and the old men given their former runs. At mlinight a mass meeting of the workers was in session at Harmonia Hall awaiting reports to them as to the result of the conference with the geneml manager. In consequence of disagreements among the men no decision could be reached, and at 3 o'clock this morning they adjourned to make a poll of the various divisions, after which the committee will meet to decide whether or not a strike shall be declared. CEPHALONIA BEACHED tub cixAan-Lixc steamer fill OF WATER AT HOLYHEAD. First Struck on a Reef Xenr South Stack. Floated Off, Steamed to Port and Then llejtan to Sink. HOLYHEAD. Jan. 1. The Cunard line steamer CephalonJa, Captain Seccomb, frcm Boston, on Dec. 21, for Liverpool, ran ashore on a reef near. South Stack in a dense fog, but she was subsequently floated . and brought here. When the steamer first grounded two lifeboats were sent to her assistance, but the rising tide floated her. The forty passengers who were on board of her have arrived here and 'have taken trains for their respective destinations. The Cephalonla had a very rough passage." Everything went well, however, until 7:20 o'clock this morning, when she ran ashore. The passengers rushed on deck In alarm, the boats were lowered Immediately, and all the women and children were placed in them. When the women and children had been cared for the other passengers were allowed to enter the boats, but an examination of the steamer showed that, while her after part was badly damaged, she was not making so much water as to prevent her proceeding under steam. Therefore, as Holyhead was at no great distance from the spot where she grounded, so soon a3 the Cephalonla floated on the high tide, at 9 o'clock, the passengers were again taken on board, and all possible speed was made for Holyhead. The passengers speak in highest terms of the conduct of the officers during the emergency, and are delighted with having escaped such a great peril wk'h little or no loss to them. . The accident to the Cephalonla later became much more serious. She began to make water so rapidly that she was beached here, and now lays in about five fathoms of water, with considerable list to starboard. Her afterpart and afterholis are nearly full of water, which is also beginning to enter the saloons. Divers are busily at work on her. but It Is now evident that the damage she has sustained is much more serious than ' at first supposed and announced. The work of getting out her cargo from her afterholds has been almost entirely stopped, and the position of the steamer is very critical. Wrecked on Alaska's Shore. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 1. The schooner Elwood, Captain F. Wyman, is a total wreck in Alaska. One sailor was drowned and the remainder of the crew only reached shore after a brave struggle. The steamship Topeka, which arrived this morning from the north, brought the first news of the disaster. Captain Wyman and four sailors came down on the Topeka, while the others remained In Alaska. The Elwood left Seattle Sept. 11 for Kodiak and Cook's Inlet. ' Five Vessels Founder. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Jan. 1. Another southwest storm of great violence prevails in the straits. Two vessels, the schooners Meteor and Redfield, after reaching Cape Flattery, were forced to return here for shelter. Four sloops and a small sized schooner moored to wharves, foundered. Vessels from outside report large quantities of fresh lumber southwest of Cape Flattery, which 13 supposed to have been the deck load from some outward vessel. Movements of Steamers.

RIOT 1N A DANCE HALL

THIRTY PEOPLE IXJI HED IX A FIGHT AT BRIDGEPORT, COX. Police Attempted to SeUe Ileer and n Company of Soldiers Attacked the Officers with Sabers. BRIDGEPORT. fVinn., Jan. 1. A battle between military and police occurred in Sadler's big hall last night, in which about thirty men were seriously injured. The soldiers were finally defeated and twenty are locked up. Thousands of factory hands danced the old year out and the new in. A raiding party of ro'.ice went to Sadler's Hall, where the Kosciusko Guards, a military organization, were holding a dance, to execute a warrant for the seizure of beer. The so'diers drew their sabres and drove the officers out. A reinforcement of fifteen policemen was called and attempted to enter the hall, but the guards beat them back with their sabres. The police were cut and slashed and several of them were seriously injured. The captain of the Kosciusko Guards is hardly lecognizable from the bumps and cuts on his face caused by the policemen's clubs. Every one of the twenty prisoners bear marks of the melee. They weie spattered with blood and their uniforms are in phreds. The women ncted like furies. They Jumped on the police and scratched their faces and tore their hair out by hanufuls. After this fight five other halls were visited and nearly two hundred kegs of beer seized. 0 Reward fur Lynchers. FRANKFORT, Ky..

AMUSEMENTS. Trilby.'. The. audiences that filled the Grand both afternoon and night yesterday submitted to two powerful doses of "Trilby" and prob ably none will feel the worse for it. Countless others will no doubt undergo the treatment during the rest of the week without In any way being disarranged mentally or gastronomieally. The fact Is, D-iMaurier's book has probably done all the damage possible and "Trilby" now comes, not as any divine revelation to set tongues wagging anew, but simply ks a lung-expected one is tempted to say dreaded visitation, whose foreordained appearance has long since been shorn of its terrors. Critics maybathe in ink and smear columns with blasting satire on the technical defects of DuMaurier's book, but the fact remains that the characters of this story have become, all in a few months, as tamiiiar to the general public as the famed heroes of classic days. Their idealities have been copied, burlesqued and prated about until pteaohers have Introduced them in sermons and gamins of the street have made them into "cuss" words. 1 ruby's name has been on ,the tongue of every intelligent man, woman and cnild of the country, while Svengali is as familiar as Ben Bolt, the man accused of having almost forgotten Sweet Alice. Little Blllee Is a by-word and Taffy, why Taffy is as famous as the whiskers the wind soughed among. The Laird and Zou Zou and Gecko and Doior and Mrs. Bagot and even Maaam Vinard are only little less celebrated. Trilby became famous on account of a foot, the like of which there was only one o:her in the world, and. of course, as the variety stage comedian would say, that other one was her's also. True, Little Blllee made a graven Image on the walls of the studio in the Latin quarter, that snould be held more famous than Trilby's foot, for It was this bit of art that made the foot's reputation, but the unkind world refuses to credit the means of fame and to Little Blllee's piece of sculpture does not count. All these famous entitles are now on exhibition in this city, provided Ly Paul letter, an American newspaper man who has become a playbullder. The one great dramatic triumph In this play is Svengali. Choose your own pronunciation, for It Is certain you will, since cne heard him called six different ways by the people after last night's performance. This uncouth, foully dressed, demonlsh incarnation, whose hair is matted and beard rancid, is about the greatest success in the way of stage villains ever painted or conceive!, excepting, of course, the impossible and fanciful jatanlc Majesty hr'mtclf A careful analysis of Svengali as the playwright made him, would, perhaps, make him impossible also. He is out of all relationship with the great musician he pretends to be. He Is simply a bad-smelling old clothes dealer, a Jew of despicable type and one whom an- Intelligent audience refuses to accept for a genius. But he is in the play, his name has been a question for debates in cross-roads schoolhouses and no doubt old ties of friendship have been severed on account of a dispute as to its proper pronunciation. There must be a strange hypnotic spell In this mixture of sibilant and labial Consonants that they should have such post mortem virility. No wonder Trilby swooned and died at the mere sight of his photograph. A character that never existed which can mesmerize people who never saweven the impersonation stands very close to the devil himself. This Is the character that ranted and snorted and stroked hi beard with grimy fingers and finally fell over a card table, breaking his back and dying at the Grand last night. As for its dramatic conception by Theodore Robertswell, that is another matter. One might go against the accepted notion by saying anything to disparage Mr. Roberts's ability. It was said by those who have seen Wilton Lackaye's wonderful make-up and acting of the part that Roberts eave an Imitation as far as he was able. He certainly lacked the baleful glare of the eyeballs we have read so much about and If Lackaye ranted as Roberts does, he is Inconceivable. Trilby was not seen In all her modes and tenses last night at least not In all that Du Maurler conjugated. In the potential mode, otherwise termed the "altogether." she must be a sensat'.on. Mabel Amber is a voluptuous, amply-formed Trilby, and cne that in real life wou'd never be hypnotized by a Svergall. The idea that she would fall in IcvC with the weakling Little Blllee in preference to the great, vigorous animal Taffv is also striklng'.y inconsistent. Solely as Trilby. Miss Amber was picturesque and pleasing to gaze on, except when the: calcium made ujrly shadows under her ankle bones you knew. In the first act she doesn't wear st k-ngs and then the illusion of that beautiful foot was somewhat dispelled. Miss Amber has developed into a vociferous shoutcr, which K perhaps, the result of this "barn storming" tour as Trilby, ani she made cne wince every time she did it. But in the love scenes she was fethl::g and as La Svengali superb. That Little Billee loveJ her is not surprising. Frfderic forger's Little Blllee. however, is a dlmpled-chin. boyish chap, who rants like cougr.y .ai uu j, uic IF oiiui, invj comes about as near being the ileal Little Bilee as a g'.rger ale cocktail to a pousse caffe. Thn look at Taffy! He looks the part to a Jot. but In the first two acts Herbert Carr talks like a Yankee, with now Pi then onlv nn English ae?ent. Frank Robertscn as The Iaird Is more faithful to the Scotch painter whose Toreador finally made its hit. Zou Zou and Ma lam Vinar i are nothing striking. Lizzie Arnar. Jah, who sings Ben Bolt off the siage, brought down the hou5e. m The one p-reat feature of th book is the alleged r.tmosnhere. There is an effort to reproduce this in the dramatization, and it might be done probably, but imagination must plav a stnr.g part in our make-up to conceive It. The dance of the grlzettes In the studio of the three artists struck us as being tame. The )eautlful conceits seen In sketches of Guillaume and the peerless Jules Chret nre looked for. but are not forthcoming. One expected to behold some fanciful abandon, something rare and racy pictured In our dreams as standing for a students' Jamboree in the Latin Quarter. Perhaps it is because If the wild expectations wh!ch have been previously formed that one was disappointed in this production of "Trilby." The first two acts are talky, with now and then a rample of Svengall's hvpnotic power, at no time convincing. The third act. rowever. Is a wonder in the way of drsmatie effect. It overrides melodrama. It Is unique, full of surprises and thrilling. In th'.s act the dramatist has mounted higher than the novelist and wrought a work that Etlrs the beholder as the bcok at no time affects the reader. This was necessary as the 8'iggestlve vulgarity of tae book tho.-e nirts in French, you know have had no little to answer fW in making Trilby a craze. Shake your head, it you will, but It

Something bordering on the salacious is the bait which Du Maurler as well as a host ot others has thrown to the public with which to angle for farr.e. But let that pass. It is the sreat third aet that Is under consideration and cannot be adequately considered in this brief review. Followed, as it is. by the sad fourth act when Trilby succumbs to the fatal effect of Svengall's influence, there is a pathetic frame for the tory that incloses the whole with an effect 'ike the mysticism of a Poe romance. The play ends contrary to the wish of the audience, and is. therefore, properly a dramatic success, according to the modern school.
