GRESHAM AS PEACEMAKER.
Extracts from Letters to Bayard on the Venezuela Dispute. Washington, April 17.—The published correspondence of the state department for 1894, made public yesterday, contains but two letters in reference to the Venezuelan boundary’ dispute. They are addressed to Ambassador Bayard at London and are dated July 13 and Dec. 1 last respectively. The first letter recites the efforts made to have the dispute settled by arbitration and England’s gradually widening claims to territory and concludes with the opinion there are but two solutions of the question—arbitration or the creation of a new boundary line “in accordance with the dictates of expediency and consideration.’’ The second letter is a reference to Britain's contention that the validity of her claim to territory in dispute shall be a condition precedent to the submission of the matter to arbitration and hopes Mr. Bayard will succeed in securing an honorable settlement of the difficulty.
VEST FOR FREE SILVER.
Thinks the West and the South WUI Win. New York, April 17.—Senator Vest, talking on the issues of 1896, said: “It has been evident for a long time that the radical difference of opinion on the tariff and money questions between the democrats of the northeast and the west and south could not be compromised. National conventions have equivocated and straddled in order to get votes, but the time has come when this is no longer possible. Many leading democrats of the northeast advocate what they call moderate tariff protection and the single gold standard. We of the west and south believe in a tariff for revenue only and the free coinage of silver. We propose to frame a platform unequivocally declaring pur opinions and to nominate for the presidency a candidate about whose loyalty to this platform there can be no suspicion.”

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1895.
CALLS DOWN HAYTI.
SECRETARY GRESHAM TAKES VIGOROUS STEPS. Attempts to Impose a Discriminating Tax on American Residents Checked — Chinese Peace Proceedings Cable Notes of Interest. Washington, April 17.—The state department has checked in its incipiency an attempt made by the Haytien government to impose a discriminating tax upon American citizens and other foreigners residing in Hayti. The proposition was under consideration as long ago as August, 1893, and a bill had been framed by the government to that effect, when the matter was reported to Secretary Gresham by Mr. Durham, then United States minister. Secretary Gresham immediately entered a most vigorous protest, pointing out that the proposed law would be in direct conflict with the treaty, which guaranteed that Americans should not be subjected to any tax not imposed upon Uaytiens. Thereupon, according to the American's minister’s statement, the government abandoned its contemplated action.
INDEMNITY 5150,000,000 GOLD. Japan Has Now Reduced Its Demands Will Oecnpy Port Arthur. Washington, April 17.—The Chinese imperial edict Is accepted among’ officials and diplomats here as setting at rest the conflicting reports as to final terms of peace, and as showing that the first reports via London were inaccurate in their details. The indemnity of 200,000,000 taels is a compromise. Japan first demanded 300,000,000 taels, but, on the solicitation of Prince Li, threw off 100,000,000. At the Chinese legation it is stated that the tael vhries in value, but that the present value of the customs on treasury tael, which is undoubtedly the one in which payment will be made, is $1.50 in Mexican silver, or about 75 cents in gold. This would make the indemnity equal to $300,000,000 Mexican silver or $150,000,000 in gold. The Mexican trade dollar is the current coin of China, and the basis of calculation, so that the belief Is very strong, though information on the subject is lacking, that the payment Will be in silver.

His intention is to disband the faction which is compose 1 of Charles and Willis Brown and Noah McMill as leaders, and their followers. They claim to have been duly and legally elected as sheriffs for the Chickasaw country. The legislature, however, ignored their claims, and other officers were installed. This faction holds that the legislature had no authority to interfere, hence their determined effort to install themselves. Bloodshed cannot be avoided.” OU Continues to Rise.

ENGLAND WILL GO AHEAD.
Intends to Collect Indemnity from the Government of Nicaragua. London, April 17.—The St. James Gazette, commenting upon the latest developments in the dispute between Great Britain and Nicaragua, says: "There is a wonderful ignorance of diplomacy on the part of the American journalists. Why should we want to bombard Grey town? If Nicaragua has been so foolish as to refuse to pay the indemnity which, with the knowledge of the United States, we demanded, we shall take such steps as the American government was perfectly aware of at the time of asking. The Monroe doctrine has been a doctrine for sixty-two years and has not been acted upon yet. When Grreat Britain has serious differences to settle with South American republics it will not be prevented from doing so by anything but settled international law.” New York, April 17.—A special dispatch from Washington says: “There was a conference at the state department last night by Secretary Gresham, Dr. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister, and a number of Spanish-American representatives, and although everyone present declines to state what occurred it is almost certain that some reply has been received here indicating Great Britain’s next step toward securing the Indemnity demanded for the expulsion of the British consul from Nicaragua. However,’ every official of the department has been warned against divulging further information with reference to the Nicaraguan affair.”
