Original Report
.Found.,
New York, 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'a own selection, 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 whdia 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,
be says, is likely to be one of the associ
ate justices of the United States supreme
court, probably Justice Brewer or Justice
Brown.-
The correspondent concludes as fol
lows:: ; :.
"English jurists have the highest le
epect for the learning and impartially cf
our supreme court, and the fact that one
of its members should temporarily leave
the bench to unde'rtake this delicate task
would be certain, the president thinks,
to add dignity to the commission. But
a cabinet officer says that Mr. Cleveland
baa not positively determined this ques
tion of the third commissioner. He real
izes that to deprive the supreme court of
one of its jurists in. the middle of the
session would seriously retard the cases
that are now pending before it. If he
decides that litigation Detween citizens
may well be delayed until the more mo
mentous question between the-nations is
settled, he will eelect 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 stated, relieve the
president from any suspicion that he
was working for the aggrandizement of
his own party in creating an interna
tional issue. The announcement of the
com mission is now expected to be made
next Monday.
CALLED OX OLNEY.
The Brltlfch Ambassador Makes Him a
Social Visit.
Washington, Dec. 26- Among Secre
tary Olney'a callers today was Sir Julian
Pauncefoote, the British ambassador,
accompanied by , Mr. . Sanderson, the
British consul-general at New York,
brother of Sir Thomas Sanderson, who
drew the "Sanderson line" in the Brit
ish Guiana boundary dispute, and who
address the two notes to Dr. Pulido and
Dr.-Urbaneta, of Venezuela, which are
claimed by Venezuelans to have emen
ated from Lord Salisbury,
It is stated officially the call was of a
eocial nature.
A strong impression pievails that as a
result of the visit today, Secretary Olney
has officially notified the British repre
sentative ot the enactments of a law for
the creation of a Venezuelan boundary
commission.
Not Much Danger of It.
Nkw York, Dec. 26. A dispatch to
the Herald from Berlin says :
It is rumored in diplomatic circles
Highest of all in Leavening
i e r"jN. - x ..i i ill n vii . vi nil
that a RUfnber of United Slates ambas
sadors, who disapprove of President
Cleveland's policy on the Venezuelan
question, intend .to resign if it ia per
sisted in. -
Information received from Vienna
states that no proposals have been made
to Emperor Francis Joseph that lie
should arbitrate between England and
Venezuela. ' "
WALES' rELKGRAAI.
Mow It Was Received In This Country
According to a Correspondent.
London, Dec. 26. The New York cor
respondent of the Times says :
"The Prince of Wales well understood
the American feeling when he author
ized Sir. Francis Knollers to send a joint
note to the World in bis 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 is not divided, can accept,
and one which is equally gratifying to
both. The people of the 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 his assurances of friend
ship. They will be likely to interpret
them as expressing also the sentiments
of the queen, who has ever been a ven
erated figure to Americans, and who is
not less so now than for two generations
past.
"They see nothing irregular or uncon
ventional in the sending of such commu
nications as these now published. The
effect of them has perhaps been mere
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 destined, each
is his time, to be a sovereign, should not
declare his good will to a sovereign peo
ple. If it be unusual, the circumstances,
are unusual, and as their highneasess
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 of children said :
" When, my children have croup there is
only one patent medicine I ever use, and
that is Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy.
It 'possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi
ately, 'it is, in- my opinion, the beet
cough medicine iu 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
whooping cough. There is no danger in
giving it to children,, as it contains noth
ing injurious, tor sale by Jsiakeley &
