THE DISPUTE.

and Venezuelans Press-
ing Each Other.
ALARMING SITUATION.
There May Ba a Hostile Clash at' Any Mo-
ment—The Secretary of State li Much Con-
cerned About the Problem—It Is Not Be-
lieved the British Will Jeopardise the
Property of Amerloaua By Bombard-
ment.
Washington, April 1—The secretary
of state is very maoh concerned about
the Venezuelan problem. The British
ultimatum to Nicaragua is not the
source of political apprehension, for it
is not believed that the British will at-
tempt to acquire territory in that di-
rection or jeopardise the property of
Americans in Nicaragua by bombard-
ment in their efforts to oolleot the in-
demnity demand from Nicaragua.
There are two moves that might
cause the United States to interfere.
But in the case of the Venezuelan
bonndary dispute there ie much graver
oanse for apprehension. It appears
that our ambassador, Bayard, has not
succeeded in persuading the British
government to heed the request sub-
mitted by him at the direction of con-
gress that the boundary dispute be
submitted to arbitration.
The British are profuse in their de-
olaratioa of a.willingness to arbitrate
the title of the laud west of the
Sohoomberg line, but in the view of
the state department this is pure
evasion of the real issue, for there
never has been any reasonable asser-
tion of British right to this territory
and it is the territory lying east of this
line that forms the 6ubstanoa of con-
tention.
The situation is believed to be alarm-
ing as armed bodies of British and
Venezuelans are pressing each other
closely in the disputed territory and
there may be a hostile dash at any
moment. The administration has
been considering its coarse in eaoh a
case, and it is probable that If the
British persist in bringing about suoh
a collision, and their failnre to heed
the repeated warnings and requests of
the United States to submit the matter
to arbitration, the United States will
feel obliged to follow the moral aid it
has give n to Venezuela in this matter
by more substantial assistance.
Woman Suffrage Assn rad.
Salt Lake, April 1—The oonstlta
tional convention indulged in a debate
on the woman suffrage question. One
member declared that the woman suf-
frage plank was pnt in the Republican
platform at the last eleotion to catch
votes and that the Demooratlo conven-
tion sought to outbid them.
In the decision that followed as to
who wrote the Republican platform
and why the plank was inserted, Rob-
erts, Demoorat, said the suffrage was
put lu to catch Mormon votes, most of
whom it was believed favored the
measure. President Smith believed
the time bad come for woman suffrage
and said he wonld vote accordingly.
The convention adjourned with a
substitute for a separate submission of
the 6uffage section. The debate on
the substitute doses tomorrow and a
vote is expeoted in the afternoon. Au
advance canvass praotloally assures
the defeat of the substitute and the
adoption of woman’s suffrage hs part
of the constitution by a good majority.

Will Case Settled.
New York. April 1—The efforts to
break the will of the late J. Hood
Wright have ooliapBed. When the
oase was oalled today before Surrogate
Arnold, ex Surrogate Ransom, oounsel
for the contestants, said: “The con-
testants and other persons interested
in Mr. Wright’s $4,000,000 are scattered
over the eArth, some iu Earope and
some in the west. We have deter
mined to withdraw objections to the
will and desire to have an order en-
tered to that effeot.”
Francis Lynde Stetson appearing for
Mre. Wright said there had been no
settlements. The contestants who
have withdrawn are sons of Charles
Hood Wright, brother of the deoeased.
Grain Kates to the Atlantic.
Chicago, April 1—All grain rates
from Chicago to the Atlantic board
were figured today on a basis of - 12c.
The Grand Trunk, whioh made tbe
rate first, was reported during the day
as haviog given notioe of an advance
within ten days, and later it was an-
nounced that the Michigan Central
wonld also make a 12o rate. Toe gen-
eral opinion is that rates will go still
lower when navigation opens, but the
roads oannot make train expenses if
the tariff is pat maoh under the pres-
ent figures. None of the roads, with
the exception of the Grand Trunk,
have hot admitted the making of a
12o rate, but all are'doing it
For tbe month of February the net
earnings of the Atchison lines were
$595,271, an increase of 188,519 over
the same month last year; for eight
months of the fiscal year from July 1
to February 28, the uet earnings were
87,262,619, a decrease of $1,965,923 from
the corresponding period of the
previous year.
The net earnings of the Colorado
Midland for February were $29,427, an
increase of $13,355; fo; eight mouths
the net earnings were $179,331, an in-
orease of $61,350.
Bond Case Blimlased.
Washington, April 1—The supreme
court dismissed the writ of error iu
the case of John H, Colvin, against the
city of Jacksonville from the United
States oironit court for the northern
distriot of Florida. Colvin, claiming
to be a citizen of Illinois and the owner
of property to the amount of $60,000 in
Jacksonville, in May, 1894, applied for
an injunction against the oity and
Mayor D. U. Fletoher to prevent the
issuance of bonds for $1,000,000 on the
ground that after the electors approv-
ed the issue payable iu lawful money,
the oity oounoll provided it should be
payable in gold coin. The court below
dismissed the bill for want of jarisdio-
tion and the supreme court dismissed
Colviu’s appeal, Justice Shlras explain-
ing that siuoe the question of jurisdic-
tion of the lower oourt had been certi-
fied to the supreme court by that
ooart, the absence of such certificate
was fatal to the maintenance of the
writ.
Arenmanti in the Taylor Trial,
Carbolton, Mo., April 1—So great
is the hostility to the Taylors in this
seotion that there Is a serious discus
sion among the offioers today as to the
advisability of sending them to the
Kansas Oity jail for protection. Mor-
ton Jonrdan, assistant attorney gen-
eral of the state, arrived today and a
rumor spread that he had been sent by
Governor Stone to learn the state of
feeliQg here and see if It would be ad-
visable to send the state militia to
protect the Taylors. Jourdan declar-
ed, however, that he bad come to
visit friends, to watch the local elec
tion tomorrow and to hear the argu-
ments In the Taylor trial.
When asked if he thought the Tay-
lors were in danger from a mob,
Jonrdan said: "I think not, because
the jury will probably convict on the
evidence; if there is a hung jury there
will doubtless be bitter feelings, how-
ever, and no one can prediot the result
should there be a verdict of aoquittal.”
When court opened today the law-
yers on eaoh side read the Instructions
asked of the ooart to the jury, after
whioh arguments were begun.
Condition of the Wheat Crop.
Chicago, April 1—The April report
of the Orange Jndd Farmer makes the
condition of wheat 85 3, or two points
lower than was reported last year im
mediately after the severe March
freeze. The plant is bat little further
advanced than it was iu December.
A considerable portion of the acreage
sown will probably be listed into oorn.
The condition on the Paoifio coast is
very high and if maintained will make
a record for the year In the matter of
yield. The rains of the last two days
may in some measure restore the plant
to the vigor whioh Be6ins to be lacking.
The Praire Farmer report for April
makes the oondition of winter wheat
85.8, against 88 9 last mouth and 86 7
as estimated officially last April. The
condition of winter rye Is 87.1, against
97.1 last year. The number of brood
sows as.compared with a year ago is
reduced 6 per cent.

Chang Is Sentenced for Life.

pondent of the Pall Mali Gazstte speaks

“Franoe is submitting to a series of
humiliations in sending ships to Kiel
to salate the viotors of Woerth and
Wissemberg. But the worst of all is
she has endured the insults of Great
Britain without protest. Why does
Bhe not hide her flag?”
The Tempest demands an apology
or reprisal and says: “The speeches
of Asbmead Bartlett, Sir George Car-
son and eastern commercial travelers
are not of the slightest importance, but
we are aghast at the indiscretion of Sir
Edward Grey and Mr, Joseph Cham-
berlin. ” _
Given t> Life Sentence.
Washington, April 1—It is said at
the Japanese legation that the young
Japanese who shot Li Hung Chang
will probably be Bent to the mines of
Northern Japan to 6erve a life sentence.
The locality is mnoh like Siberia.

viction. It is understood it has been a
civil trial, as a military trial wonld
have resulted in death. Dr. Scriba’s

regarded as assuring of his recovery.

snrgeoos who has entered into the ser-
vice of Japan.
