MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH SPEAKS

Bt. PCTEtianuno, Dee. 20. Russian
newspapers goiicrnlly discuss tbsaVen
zuelan question aud express tliabollef
that It will have a pacific Isiuo. The
Novoslt conaldora tlio position smumpd
by the United BtnttB In conflict with
tho Interrmta of tho wholo of Europe
and suggests tho mediation of certain
European powers nod a now and peace
ful settlement therefore will be oppor
tune. Uauadian Opinion.
Ottowa.OuU, Duo. 2J OfUolaU of,
the government claim that In case of'
war bctwreu Great Britain aud the
Uultcd (States, the state of Canada
could In 24 hours, put 30,000 fully
equipped men into tho field and hold
any force tho United Btates is likely to
bring into tbis country in check, a
couple of montnn at least. Tho situ
ation Is generally viewed un one of the
greatest gravity, calling for prompt
preparation for defense, but not for
any alarm.
London, Dee. 20. Sir Mlouaol
Hlohs-Beaoh, chancellor of the ex
chequer, mado au uddrcss at a con
servative banquet In Bristol, which
contained an Importaut suggestion as
tho probable next stop to bo takcu by
tho BrilUh government In the Venezu
ela matter, namely, tho lsxuauco of n
statement by l,ord tiallsbury, which,
Sir Michael Intimated, might put a
now phaso on aflalrs. The chancellor
of the exchequer warned his hearers
against exaggerating tho gravity of tho
Veuezuola trouble. Home persons, he
went on, howover, taltt of tho Im
possibilities of a war between th
United Btates and Great Britain, be
cause of tho ties of bins hip between
tho nations. Nothing waa impossible,
be asserted, wb!:b had already oc
curred, aud when klusmou unfortu
nately differed, sometimes they become
very bitter enemies. But there were
reassurances, he added, in tho fact that
he did not believe the poople on either
sldoof the Atlantic desired war. Ho
thought that, when tbo true statement
Is known, wblob Lord Salisbury had
ably prepared in dispatches to be soon
published, the result would bo happy,
btnorablo and peaceable to both aides.
Lord Balisbury came up specially
from Hatfield last nlgbt and visited
tho foreign oflice, where telegraphic
dispatches had been received from Blr

the president's message until commuul
cated to it In due course by the British
ambassador to Washington.
Tho action of the bouse In passing
the bill and approprlat on for tho com
mission is regarded In official and
political circles aa adding gravity to
the situation, inasmuch as it renders a
settlement still more difficult It la
oousidered, however, that the British
government will Ignore tbe proceed
ings so that tho possibility of a rupluro
will probably be postponed until such
time as the commission baa reported
and it la nought to give effect to its
deoUlon.
Tho lutorval, it la hoped, will afford
an opportunity for furtbttr negotiations
These calculations may, It Is obvious,
be entirely upset should Venezuela bo
prompted to any hasty nction. The
likelihood of aucb action on the part of
Veneiuelaia regardrd as one of the
most perilous features ot tho situation,

expected he would make a statement
wero disappointed, for not n wortl wns

Tho usual form of a motion for n new

tho defenso without argument, which
was, of course, overruled. Then Judge
Burnett addressed the defendant's

"No, your honor."
"You may cauro tho prisoner to

tho look of despair plainly written
upon his fuco, as he sat down, waa the
only evldenco of tho tompest within.
