Commenting upon K Venezuelan Question the newspa pert generally agree that the situation is more senous than tney wougns u yesterday. In the pnblio nana, also, there is a general feeling of disappoint ment at the action of oongresa. The stock exchange here and ex changes throughout the country con tinue under the influence of the diffi At the same time, there is no CTIi fATTI pn f.

The Globe, a newspaper supposed to on terms of intimacy witn tne gov- oramAnt. ogives warnine that wrest vtritain will remain firm, saying 'President Cleleand may appoint a dozen commissioners, but Enlgand will remain firm in her refusal to recognize them,, and jurisdiction of this sort This is our unalterable position, be the consequences what they may. we win never submit to such unparalleled dio- iitinn " The Globe is also irate at the recent tterances of Dr. Chaunoey M. Depew, especially his references to the easy manner in which the United 8tates eould conquer Canada, remarking: -"The overwhelming naval strength of England, would enable her to pour troops into Canada at any sight of dan ger. Small warships could be sent to the Lakes, and Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo would be utterly at their ssercy." ' Only a Wordy War. Terra Haute. Deo. 24. Ex-Secretary of the Navy R. W. Thompson, in com menting on the president's message to congress, said that he does not think there is a remote chanoe of war with England. There is no probability of the two English speaking peoples of j the world going to war about little strip of territory alongside of sue- uels. .... "It will be war of diplomacy, k. iA "Both countries will de mand an exhibition of power aud pur- pose, but the controversy win oe tlted by peaoeful method. Neither nation Is prepared to go to war, and neither wants war as a result of tills quarrel over a boundary line. It is not necessary for either to fight to how that it is not cowardly. Each knowa the other will fight, but each it too far advanced in ollvlisation to be the aggressor in bringing on a war on such provocation."

A special to the Herald from Washington ys: At a conference of the cabinet officers with President Cleveland it was de cided to issue- bonds at once to repleu ih h mild reserve. Member of the cabinet who are in the city were sum moned to the White House, ami we president went over the situation With them. It was decided that Secretary Carlisle should at once prepare for au- other boud issue.

Washington. Deo. 24. The faot that several members of the cabinet were observed ooming from the White House today led to a very general sur mise that there had been a special cabinet meeting tooonsider some phase of the Venesuelan question, or the con dition of the finances. Diligent in quiry, however, failed to esatblish the fact that a cabinet meeting actually took plaoe, but there is no doubt a con ference, the nature of which cannot be ascertained, had been in progress dur ing the day between the preident and some of his advisers. Those who were at the White House included Secre taries Olney, Carlisle and Lament. NOTHING OF STRATHNE VIS. UHOWiMi HAP IDLY. DOVELOPMtNT OF NORTHWEST INDUSTRIES. It Has Now Boon Thirty-Four Ueya Since She Was Lut Spoken. Pnrt Townaend. Dec. 24. The fate of the Oriental staemship Strathnevis and the 190 people aboard still remains a mvsterv. It has been thirty-four days since she was last tpoken. She was then about 800 miles west or. cape VUtterv. under two small lee-of-niut- ton sails, slowly making her way east ward. Sinoe then two ot the wildest and severest storms of the season have been experienced in the North Pacific The British flagship Royal Arthur, with powerful search lights, steaming twenty-two knots an hour, andjoover ing a distance of fifteen miles on each side, put in a week cruising along the northern coast without discovering any signs of the lost steamer. The only other steamer proscenting the search is the Danube, of Victoria. The general opinion among mariners is that the Strathnevis has gone ashore on the southeast coast of Alaska. In that event the sufferings and fatalties of the crew of the sealing schooner George R. White, which went ashore at Wood island last April, when eleven of the crew froze to death in the snow, will doubtless be repeated. The con tinued absence of the Danube is the only hope held out for the safety of the passengers and the crew of the Strath nevis. It is argued if the vessel has gone ashoer on the Alaska coast, some word would have been received before now. It is thought the fuel aboard the Danube must be nearly exhausted. ZEITOUN CAPTURED. Victory for the Tnrklah Troopa, and General Ma,aaere of Armenlana. New York, Deo. 24. A dispatch to the Herald from London says a dispatch from Vienna states that Mursah Pasha, commanding a Turkish force, has cap tured the town of Zeitoun, which was some time ago taken by the insurgent Armenians, and that he had massacred all the Armenians in the place, who did not make their escape to the moun". tains. Washington, Deo. 24 The Turiksh legation received from the sublime porte the following telegram under to day's date: "The insurgents of Zeitoun attacked the Mussulmans' village of Mehlia, killed and burned two men, five women and three children, and caried away the cattle and the things belonging to the inhabitants. The survivors fled to Eenkona. With the excepiton oi Zeitoun, perfect order reigns in the whole empire." The Revenue Cntter Hear. SanFranoisoo.Dec. 20 More trouble is in progress on the revenue cutter Bear. When Captain Healv was sus pended, pending charges of unofllcer like conduct madeaginst him, the com mand of the Bear was given to Lieu tenant Busbner, who was considered a popular and capable officer. The sub ordinate officers of the Bear today ad mitted that several ddys ago they had forwarded to Washington charges against Lieutenant Bushner, but no offioer would state the nature of these charges. Lieutenants Daniels and Dorry, of the Bear, who filed the charges against Captain Healy, have themselves been charged by the crew and petty officers with sleeping on watch and neglect of duty.

A Umatilla oounty stockman says that It looks worse for stockmen in that section than any time for a great many years. There is no gTass on the range, owing to the dry summer, and there was no bay to speak of grown on the uplands. There is no bnnch grass at present and they cannot sell any cattle or sheep as they are too poor for beef or mutton. He believes that a large number of cattle, horses aud sheep will starve this winter. It is re ported in the sheep district that the scab is spreading.

It la also auggealed lu the Utrtlah re ply that we would not seek to apply the Monroe da-trllie to the peudlug diapute becauae 'it does not embody any prin oiple of International law which U foumled on the geueral oimanul of na tions." and no ualion, however power ful am noinoeteut to iuaurt into the oodo of iuujruatioual law a novel prlu oiple which was never recognised l fore and which ha not since teen o oepted by the government of any other oouutry.

It will bo seen from the correspond euoe herewith submitted that this proposition has been declined by the British government, upon grounds which, under the circumstances, aeeui to tne to be far from satisfactory. Hav ing labored faithfully for mauy years to induce Great Britain to submit this dispute to impartial arbitration, aud having been now finally apprised of her refusal to do so, nothing remaius but to accept the situation, to rocoguizo its plain requirements, aud to deal with it accordingly. Assuming that the attitude of Vene zuela will remain unchanged, the dis pute has reached such a stago as to make it now incumbent upon the Uni ted States to take measures to deter mine with sufficient certainty for iu justification what is the true divisional line betwoen the republic of Venezuela and British Guiana. Inquiry to that end should, of course, lie conducted carefully and judicially, and due weight be given all available evidence, reoords and facts in support of 'the olaims of both parties. In order that such an examination should be prosecuted in a thorough snd satisfactory manner, I suggest that oon- gross make adequate appropriation for the expenses of commission to be so- pointed by the executive, who shal make the neoesaary investigation and report upou the matter with the least possible delay.
