ENGLAND'S POSITION
Venezuela Dispute Becom
ing Serious.
FRONTIER TO BE FORTIFIED
nhe Intends to Hold ttao Territory
Within the Schombergh Line
Will Use Force If Thought
Xecesaarj.
London, Oct. 18. The St. James Ga
zette this afternoon made highly impor
tant and sensational statements regard
ing Venezuela, which seem to show that
the dispute between that republic ana
Great Britian has assumed a grave as
pect. It says that since the Eight Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain assumed office as
secretary of state for the colonies he has
paid close personal attention to the ques
tion of the relations between Great Bri
tian and Venezuela, and has taken the
initiative in directing in part the admin
istration of affairs of the British colony
of Guiana, adjoining Venezuela. The
Gazette says :
"We are now enabled to give the tenor
of a remarkable dispatch in which is
outlined the imperial policy towards the
colonies. ' The document is of much im
portance, inasmuch as it was followed by
cabled instructions from Mr. Chamber
lain to the governor of BritiBh Guiana,
Sir Charles Cameron Lees, K. C. M. G.,
to obtain without delay a vote for the
provision of two Maxim guns, one of
which is to be stationed at Uruan, or
elsewhere, along the frontier, where the
Venezuelans may attempt to cross.
. "Thetoere fact that Chamberlain has
cabled instructions for the defense of
the frontier in this manner is positive
proof tbat the imperial government will
not tolerate a repetition of the Uruan
incident, and intends to hold the frontier
within the Schombergh line by force
if necessary.
"Chamberlain advocates especially fos
tering gold mining and urges the cutting
of a road from the upper Barima river
to Guiana, 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
thwart the repeated attempts at Ven
ezuelan aggression, adding tbat in view
of the possible early and rapid expan
sion of gold mining it will be necessary
to provide adequately for the protection
of the northwest district, and recom
mending an increase in the number of
military and police as well as the erec
tion of barracks on the frontier."

PROMINENT f A. COMA. MERCHANT
Dead From the Effect of an Operation
for Cancer.
San Fkaxcisco, Oct. 18. Edward M.
Hunt, a prominent and wealthy mer
chant of Tacoma, died here last evening
from the effects of an operation for can
cer. When he came here it was suppos
ed he had liver trouble, which had been
diagnosis of his case in Tacoma. Not
improving, he came to San Erancisco,
' where an examination by physicians
showed conclusively tbat Hunt had can
. cer. An operation was decided as the
;v , only means of saving the patient. From
' the effects of the operation, which took
place yesterday at Lane hospital, he
, died soon afterwards. Prior to the oper
ation Hunt received ttie unremitting at
tention of the best local doctors for two
months. Realizing finally that only an
operation could a cure be effected, he
placed himself unreservedly in the
hands of his physicians. His remains
. will be sbfrped by rail this evening to
Tacoma. ' Mrs. Hunt, who has been a
constant attendant at her husbands bed
eide, will be a passenger on the same
train. '
In the Insane Asylum.
San Francisco, Oct. 18. John Don
nelly, one of the Billy Emerson minstrel
company, has been sent to the asylum
. for the insane at Ukiah at the suggestion j
of a committee from the B. P. 0. Elks,

fering from that form ot insanity known
as melancholia, with occasional fits of
violence.

sketches and was very successful.
IN TDK SULTAN DOMAIN.
That Special Privileges Will he Granted
Armenians Denied.
Constantinople, Oct. 18. At a meet
ing ot tne-ambassadors ot tne powers,
just held, it vas decided to send a collec
tive communication to the Armenian
patriarch, soliciting his assistance in
the efforts being made by representa
tives of the foreign governments inter
ested to stop agitation against the Ar
menians. Turkish newspapers have published
an inspired article contradicting the pre
vailing idea that special privileges will
be conceded the Armenians. The arti
cle continues:
"As, however, the existing laws and
regulations require modifications, cer
tain reforms by which all without dis
tinction of race or religion, will be ben
efited, will be introduced tentatively in
certain provinces of Anatopia."
The article is regarded as intended to
prepare Musselmans for the promulga
tion of reforms forced upon the Turkish
government by powerB and to prevent
impressions spreading that they are ex
clusively for Armenians or the result of
Armenian agitation and the interven
tion of the powers.
Monument to Kniperor Frederick Un
veiled Today.
Wokrtii, Oct. 18. The emperor and
empress of Germany, accompanied by
ex-Empress Frederich, and other mem
bers of the imperial family, and many
representatives of the royal families of
the empire, participated today in the
ceremonies attendant upon the unveil
ing of Emperor Frederick's monument
on the battlefield Woerth.
Their majesties were received by the
governor-general of Alsace-Lorraine,
Prince Hohoniohe Langenberg, who de
livered an address of welcome. After
patriotic son its by the Strasburg Choral
Society and a stirring address from Gen
eral von Haesier, the monument was
unveiled and was afterwards inspected
by all members of the imperial party.

Thurston to Resign as Counsel.
San Fh'ancisco, Oct. 19. United
States Setator Thurston left for Los An
geles yesterday. The Nebraska states
man expects to stay there for hia health
during the coming few weeks before the
meeting of congress. Senator Thurston,
though elected to a seat in the upper
house of congress, still retains the office
of general solicitor of the Union Pacific
system, though he has stated that he
will shortly resign the office to the Un
ion Pacific receivers, and sever his con
nection with the railroad before congress
meets.
rseiore he lett Here lie said to a num
ber of friends that it would be highly in
judicious for him to attempt to preside
over the law department of the Union
Pacific, and occupy a seat in the senate
at the same time, particularly in view of
the fact that cougress at its next session
will undoubtedly pav some attention to
legislation affecting the bond-aided road
WHAT HUNTINGTON SAYS.
There Is No Friction lSetween the Gov
ernment and the Railroad.
San Francisco, Oct. 19. A dispatch
from New York states that the Guate
malan government has issued an official
decree for the purpose of prohibiting C.
P. Huntington from Belling the Guate
mala Central railroad to a Scotch syndi
cate. It is represented by the dispatch
tbat the road's charter from the govern
ment specifies that the company has an
absolutely free right to sell the road to
any one when it sees fit to do so. The
government's decree may become a sub
ject of international dispute in view of
the fact that the company.is a Califor
nia corporation. Mr. Huntington says :
. "I will say that I will give the Guate
mala government the preference, if it
wishes to buy the property. There is
no friction between us and President
Barrios, whom I look upon as an able
and progressive man. If I succeed in
Belling the road the money will be used
to immediately build two or three little,
roads in California. The latter will have
to be delayed if the sale is not made."

THE BOOK OF SHERMAN
His Kecollections of Forty
Years in Public Life.
BOOK CAUSES MUCH COMMENT
XV. A. Bateman, of Ohio, Talks to
Limited Extent, but Mot In a
Formal Inter lew.
Cincinnati Oct. 19. The Hon. W. A
Bateman, who was one of the delegates
at large to the national republican con
ventibn in 1880 from Ohio, and a close
friend of Senator Sherman in all the lat
ter's contests for the presidential nomi
nation, returned to Boston tonight. He
has been in communication with Sher
man during the writing of the senator's
book, and is impressed with the conger
vative reference to national conventions
at which Senator Sherman was defeated
Mr. Bateman was the manager of Sen
ator Sherman s interests for a year or
more prior to the convention of 18S0.
It is evident from his reasons for not
submitting to a formal interview that he
has evidence of General Garfield's coarse
prior to the assembling of the conven
tion .of 1880, which shows that the gen
al was too active in his own interests,
instead of those of Sherman, to whom
he was pledged personally, as well as by
the instructions of the Ohio republican
convention. It is stated that letters are
still in existence in which .Garfield; be
fore going to the convention, wrote to
those who were working for his noraina
tion. In one letter Garfield asked a dis
tinguished republican of Pennsylvania
whether the latter thought it would
hurt the formers prospects for Garfield
to go to the Chicago convention at the
head of the Sherman forces. The' per
son advised him to go to the convention,
present Sherman's name and fight the
Conkling plan, for the nomination of
Grant.
The delegates at large from Ohio in
1880 were Garfield, Governor Foster, ex
Governor Dennison and Mr. Bateman.
There were many reports at the time
about this "big four" not pulling to
gether; that Garfield was a candidate
for nomination himself; that Foster was
a candidate for vice-president on the tic-
ket with Blaine, and that Ex-Governor
Dennison, who had been in Lincoln's
cabinet, was a candidate for vice-presi
dent on the ticket with Grant, and that
Bateman was the only one who was sin
cerely working for Sherman, without re
gard to himself.
' Mr. Bateman said that ex-Governor
Dennison was called on repeatedly at the
Chicago convention in 18S0, before the
balloting began, by the Grant men and
offered the second place on the- ticket
Governor Dennison declined, and also
stated most emphatically that he would
not accept the nomination, and could
not in honor do so, for he was then
pledged to Sherman as the only Ohio
candidate before the convention. Gar
field and Foster did not attend the meet
ings and the conferences of Dennison
and Bateman with the other Ohio dele
gates, and there was no sentiment among
the other delegates as to the attitude of
these two delegates at large.
The only thing which is brought out
now by the publication of Sherman's
book is the reference to letters that Gar
field wrote to certain friends in his own
intereets before leaving for the Chicago
convention in 1886. It is believed that
Bateman has an accumulation of evi
dence on the defeat of Sherman.

welfare of the church, no definite re
salts being attained. Two new churches
from Washington were received into the
convention, one from Goldendale, Klick

tin of Dayton. Elder. Jacroux was called
upon for some extemporaneous remarks,
and made a happy reply. The matter
of revising the constitution was inform
al! v discussed. -

votional exercises began with the read
ing ot the Jonrteenth chapter of Job,
afier which Rev. J. W. Oliver of Mc

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We re
fer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm. When
it is kept at hand the severe pain of a
burn or scald may be promptly relieved
and the sore healed in much less time
than when medicine has to be sent
for. A sprain may be promptly treated
before inflammation eets in, which in
sures a cure in about one-third the time
otherwise required. Cuts and bruises
should receive immediate attention, be
fore the parts become swollen, and wjien
Chamberlain's Pain Balm is'applied it
will heal them without matter being
formed, and without leaving a scar. A
sore throat mav be cured in one night.
A piece of flannel dampened with this
liniment and bound on over the seat of
pain, will cure lame back or pair in the
side or chest in twenty-four hours. It is
the most valuable, however, for rheuma
tism. Persons afflicted with this dis
ease will be delighted with the prompt
relief from pain which it affords, and it
can be depended upon to effect a com
plete cure. For sale by Blakeley &
Houghton. Druggists.
The November number of The Forum
will contain a notable character study of
Stamboloff bv Mr. Stovan K. Vatraleky,

the completest and most authoritative
one that has yet appeared.
Mr. J. K. Fowler, secretary and treas
urer of the Corinne Mill, Canal and
Stock Co., of Corinne, Utah, in speaking
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy says :
I consider it the best in the market.
I have used manv kinds but find Cham
berlain's the most prompt and effectual
in giving relief, and now keep no other
n my home." When troubled with a
cough or cold give this remedy a trial
and we assure you that you will be more
than pleased with the results. For sale

AFTKJt A WBKK'S KKCESS.
The
Durrant Trial Resumed in San
Francisco This Morning.
San Fbancisco, Out. 21. Although
Attorney Deuprey was not well enough
to appear in court this morning, the
trial of Theodore Durrant was resumed
after a week's intermission.
The first witness was Charles T. Lena?
ban, who was recalled to tell about, the
time when he said he had called at Op
penheim's to pawn a ring similar to the
one worn bv Blanche Lamont. In a let
ter written to Attorney Dickinson last
spring, Lenahan said he called atOppen-
hcim's store just before noon, at the
same hour Durrant is said to have vis
ited the . place, but the witness said to
day that he called at Oppenheiro'e be
tween 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
On cross examination the witness put on
his hat and overcoat for the purpose of
showing the jury how he looked when he
called at the store. Afterwards he put
on Durrant's hat and overcoat. Lena
han bears net resemblance to Durrant,
and, even when arrayed in the prison
er's clothes the similarity between the
two was so little as to be hardly percep
tible.
Robert N. Lynch, Rev. George Gib
son's private secretary, was called to the
stand for the purpose of showing that he
gave Miss Cunningham the first clew to
the fact that Mrs. Leak had seen Dur
rant and Miss Lamont enter the church
o.i the afternoon of April S. The defense
desired to impeach Mrs. Leak's testi
mony by 6howing that she had told Rev.
Mr. Gibson when she had said she had
not, and, furthermore, to show that in
his zeal to have Durrant convicted Rev.
Mr. Gibson had made Mrs. Leak's story
public.
The scheme fell short of realization,
however, as Lynch said he did not tell
Miss Cunningham about Mrs. Leak's
story, as he himself did not know of it
until after Mrs. Leak was sub penaed as
a witness in the case.
Mrs. C. G. No hie, Blanche Lamont's
aunt, was recalled to tell how long
Blanche had attended Powell-street nor
mal school. Mrs. Noble said Blanche
had attended the. school but three days
when she was murdered.
Guthrie Hopeful.
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 21. George W.
Taylor, chief of the Guthrie, Oklahoma,
fire department, who went to . Hot
Springs to lay before Dan Stuart an offer
of $15,000 from the citizens of Guthrie to
have the prizefight pulled eff in that
town, returned to Dallas today on his
way home. He fays Corbett told him
he would not go into the ring for any
thing but a finish fight, and Julian told
the same thing for Fitzsimmons. As
only limited fights are possible in
Arknasas, he believes Guthrie will final
ly be selected by Stuart and the Florida
Athletic Club.
Dickenson Oefeated.
Detroit, Oct. 21. Don M. Dickinson
was defeated for the nomination of may
or of Detroit in the democratic city con
vention today, but his defeat was, in
' Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report
reality, regarded as a victory. -The
nominee is Alderman Samuel Goldwater,
the labor candidate, who received 51
votes to 34 for Dickinson, on the first
ballot. The anti-administration men
tried to foce the nomination of Dickin
son lor the purpose, it is alleged, of hav
ing him "thrown down" by running him
up against the Pingree boom. -
Mr. E. E. Brooks of Hartland, Wash.,
was in the city today and gave a favora
ble report of things in the section of;
country known as High Prairie. This
portion of Klickitat county was only be-,
gun to be settled a little over ten years
ago, but it is now a prosperous commun
ity where every settler is making more
than a living something unusual for
these democratic times. The people of
the Hartland country are mainly given
to stock raising, though an increasing
number of farmers are raising wheat for
sale, several individuals harvesting over
3000 bushels apiece this summer.' The
Dalles enjoys a good trade with Hart
laud, over 15,000 bushels coming to our
warehouses already this season. Lux
uriant grass in the valley and along the
foothills make the Hartland country a
fine one for dairy pursuits. There is yet
good land inviting settlement.
