SENATORS REPLY.
Questions Aslced by the New
.World Answered.
Torn
- New Yqbm, Dec. 25. A epeeial to (he
World from Washington eays :
To senator liray, of Delaware, who is
the most devoted friend and champion
of the president in the senate, the World
submitted in writing several questioos,
among them the following:
"Did the senate indorse the president's
statement as to the Monroe doctrine,
; and accept bis conclusions when it
granted his request for a commission?"
Senator Gray replied :
J. cannot answer except by saying
that I presume it intended to."
"Do you think that England is bound
to accept a boundary in South America
which we dictate?"
"As I understand the position of this'
government in regard to the appoint'
ment of a commission, it is that the
facts may be ascertained for the infor
mation of the government, by which I
mean the executive and congress, in re
gard to the dispute between Venezuela
and British Guiana. This information,
as I understand it, is for the informa
tion of tbe government, and the Ameri
can people, and it could not have Deen
expected that its conclusions were bind
ing on either of the disputants."
On the republican side Senator Teller
' replied :
"If you mean does the senate indorse
tbe president's enunciation of the Mon
roe doctrine. I can say that in passing
the commission bill we sought onlv to
give him power to ascertain the facts
with regard to the boundary line be
tween British Guiana and Venezuela.
"It is not the purpose of this country
to dictate a boundary line to Great Brit
ain. After the proposed commission
has found the facts in tbe case we shall
hope that Great Britain will conclude to
submit the case for arbitration, if the to
facts show that she ia pushing ber fron
tier unfairly. If she does not, and tbe
findings shew she is violating the Mon
roe doctrine, we shall maintain that
doctrine.
"Of coarse, we have never claimed fo
be a disinterested arbitrator or judge."

MAT BE REVOKED
Charter of the Nlcaragnan
Canal Ke-
ported In Danger.
Chicago, Dec. 25.. A special
Washington says:
from
A South American diplomat now in
Washington has received a personal let
ter from a member of the Nicaraguan
cabinet stating there is danger that the
charter of the Nicaragua canal will be
revoked, by-Nicaragua. A representa
tive of a London syndicate is now in
Managua in conference with the officers
of the government and he has the recent
adverse report by the American commie
sion as an argument in favor of a conces
sion to a British company. He has
promised that if the existing charter is
revoked a British syndicate will, take up
the work and push it through without
depending upon the state support.
The Xicaraguan government the min
ister states, is provoked at the delay in
the work of the American company and
at the recent report of the commission
RUSSIAN, COMMENT.
Impossibility of an Anglo-Saxon
Gives Satisfaction.
Union
New York, Dec. 25. A special to the
Herald, from St. Petersburg, says :
The Herald eays in reference to the
Anglo-American dispute that the pro
test of the bankers is of importance,
more so than the political applauding of
the governors.
Tbe Novosti strikes a new note:
"Russian sentiment in the Anglo-
American dispute," it declares, "is one
of satisfaction over this proof of the im
possibility of an Anglo-Saxon union.
Such a union," adds tbe paper, "would
be a threat to the independence of other
nations. "
Referring to the message the Novosti
eays that in reality the Washington cab
inet is striving for the complete exclu
sion of the European powers from the
American continent.
"WILLIE BOY" TALKS.
The German Emperor's Personal View
Are Aired.
New Yokk, Dec. 25. A epeeial from
Belin savs : .
Emperor William has expressed tbe
opinion that tbe Anglo-American con
flict will end in an understanding be
tween the two powers. The czar will do
nothing to encourage President Cleve
land in his present policy, as the United
States would then become too trouble
some in the far East.
A St. Petersburg dispatch, however.
says the foreign office expects that Eng.
land will sustain a eerious moral defeat
if President Cleveland should persist in
his present policy.
Broke Ont Afresh.
Philadelphia, Dec. 25, The street
railway trouble broke out afresh today
on the Girard-avenue line. The division
superintendent in sending out cars this
morning gave the preference to the new
men, and tbe old men finally started
revolt. Obstructions were piled on the
tracks and a squad of mounted police
were called for. ' Tbe scene of tbe trouble
was surrounded by a howling mob of
10,000, who, however, did not molest
the cars. Serious trouble was averted
by the company agreeing to put the old
men to work. The eecond and Third
street branch was also practically tied
up throngh the efforts of tbe ex-strikers
who found their places being filled by
new men.
The Coban Revolt.
New York, Dec. 25. Senor Estrada
Palma was at the Cuban junta head
quarters last night for the first time
since his trip to Washington, where he
opened the headquarters of the new
legation for Cuba. In discussing the in
surgent cause, be said
"We have forced Spain to send over
120,000 troops and increase ber navy as
well as her debt, and vet our columns
are steadily advancing: Spain is trying
negotiate another war loan of 130. 000-
000 pesetas, and all to crush what she
asks tbe world to believe is a handful of
bandits. Spain has sent to Cuba since
February 24 nearly as many troops as
England did in the entiie revolution of
the American colonies. -

A Pacific Attitude.
New York, Dec. 25. A special from

has hitherto refrained from adding a

is understood there is no probability of
taking such a step for tbe present. Fur
thermore, Sir Julian Pauncefote, at
Washington, has not communicated with

This may be taken as an indication of
the essentially passive and pacific atti
tude of Lord Salisbury's cabinet.

Original Report
Found.
New Yobk, Dec. 26. In connection
with the appointment .of Messrs. Phelps
and Lincoln by the president to places
on the Venezuelan high commission,
the World's Washington' correspondent
is informed that Mr. Lincoln was Secre
tary Olney's own eelection, and that
Chief Justice Fuller also strongly recom
mended him on the ground that a report
signed by two former ministers to Eng
land, both of whom have been warmly
praised by the British press for many
years, will have much weight in Great
Britain. It is urged, the correspondent
states, that public opinion in England
cannot ascribe to such men as Phelps
and Lincoln any prejudice against Eng
land, where they are both very popular.
The third member of the commission,
he eays, is likely to be one of tbe associ
ate, justices of the United States supreme
court, probably Justice Brewer or Justice
Brown.
Tbe correspondent concludes as fol
lows : . '
"English jurists have the highest re
spect for the learning and impartially ot
our supreme court, and the fact that one
of its members should temporarily leave
the bench to undertake this delicate task
would be certain, tbe president thinks,'
to add dignity to the commission. But
a cabinet officer says that Mr. Cleveland
has net positively determined this ques
tion of the third commissioner. He real
izes that to deprive the supreme court of
one of its jurists in tbe middle of the
session would seriously retard the cases
that are now pending before it. If he
decides that litigation Detween citizens
may well he delayed until the more mo
mentous question between the nations is
settled, he will select either Justice
Brown or Brewer. The appointment of
either of the justices, together with that
of Mr. Lincoln, would give the majority
of the committee to the republicans.
This fact would, it is stilted, relieve tbe
president, from any suspicion that he
was working for the aggrandizement of
his own partv in creating an interna
tional issue. The announcement of the
commission is now expected to be made
next Monday.
CALLED ON OLNEY.
Tbe
British Ambassador Makes Him
Social Visit.
Washington, Dec. 26- Among Secre
tary Olney's callers today was Sir Julian
Pauncefoote, the British ambassador,'
accompanied by) Mr. Sandereon, the
British consul-general at New York,
brother of Sir Thoma9 Sanderson, who
drew the "Sanderson line" iu tbe Brit
ish Guiana boundary dispute, and who
address the two notes to Dr. Pulido. and
Dr. Urbaneta, of Veneznela, which are
aimed by Venezuelans to have einen-
ated from Lord Salisbury,
It is stated officially, the call was of a
social nature. ''. '
A strong impression pievails that as a
result.of the visit today, Secretary Olney
as officially notified the British repre
sentative ot the enactments of a law for
the creation of a Venezuelan boundary
commission. '
Not Mnch Danger of it.
New Yobk, DdC; 26. A dispatch to
tbe Herald from Berlin says :
It is rumored in diplomatic circles
that a number of United States ambas
sadors, who disapprove of President
Cleveland's policy on the Venezuelan
question, intend to resign if it is pei
sisted in.
Information received from Vienna
states that no proposals have been made
to Emperor Francis Joseph - that he
should arbitrate between England and
Venezuela.
WALES' .TELEGRAM.
How It Was ReeeiTed in This Count y
According: to a Correspondent. '
London, Dec. 26. The New York cor-,
respondent of the Times says : "
"The Prince of Wales wellunderstopd
tbe American feeling when he author
ized Sir Francis Knolleys to send a joint
note to' the World in his own and the
Duke of York's name. There is not,
from an American point of view, a word
too much or a word to little' It is a
message which both parties, into which
this country ig not divided, can accept,
and one which is, equally gratifying to
both. The people of tbe United States
have cherished a real regard for the
Prince of Wales ever since his visit to
this country, of which many pleasant
memories still survive, and they receive
with pleasure bis assurances of friend-,
ship. They will be likely to interpret
them as expressing also the eeniiments
of the queen, who has ever been a ven
erated figure to Americans, and who is
not less so now thau for two generations
past.
"They see nothing irregular or uncon
ventional in the sending of such commn
nicalions as these now published. The
effect of them- lias perhaps been more
direct and beneficial than if they had
come through the foreign office- or parli
ament. Their simplicity and sincerity
is effectual. Nobody here sees any
reason why two princes d6tined, each
is his time, to be a sovereign, should not
declare bis good will to a sovereign peo
ple. If it be unusual, the circumstances,
are unusual, and as their highnsssess
have used their prerogative to dispense
with any courtly ettiquette, that only
makes their kindly words more welcome
to the people to whom they are ad
dressed." Geo. W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa
Maria "Times," Cal., in speaking of the
various ailments ot children said:
"When my children have croup there is
only one patent medicine I ever use, and
that is- Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi
ately. It is, in my opinion, the best
cough medicine in the market." ' If this
remedy is freely given as soon as the
croup cough appears it will prevent the
attack. It is also an ideal remedy for
wioopinir coneh . There is no danger i
giving it to ctiiiuren, as it contains noth
mg injurious. ior eale by Blakeley &
