Loxpoyx, Dec. 21.—The Daily News, basing its statements on its own reports from New York, insists that there has been an entire revulsion of feeling there owing to the panic in Wall street. It contends that President Cleveland has in- tlieted a heavier injury on his own coun-

He says his company could turn ont two ships of 4,000 tons each, fit fur fighting in six months, and the other shipyards around the lakes could turn out eight more. A great many of the larger boats now in service on the great lakes eould quickly and eas:ly be transformed into fighting machines, especially the big ear ferries mm the Straits of Mackinaw.

conscious of

the British people towards them, Lord Salisbury preferred to express his senti- ments @n the subject from a public plat-

| form.

Bostox, Dec. 21.—The New England Free Trade League held a banquet last night. President Henry W. Lamb presid- ed, and eloquently denounced the “present hysterical craze for war,” With o-.e ex- ception, all the speakers deprecated the President’s Venezuelian message. By a

| vote of 39 to 15, resolutious were adopted

asfollows :

“The recent message of President Cleve- laud proposed to that unless Great Britain shall surrender ber claim to all Jands we may find upon enquiry belong to Venezuela, we shall resist her eggres- sions by every means in our power. before our people are requird to sacrifice their lives and property in this way, we hope they will be given time to retlect upor certain m«erial facts.

congress

1.—We have notreaty offensive or de- fensive with Venezuela. We have assum- ed no protectorate over her. We are under no obl gations, expres-ed or implied, te tizit her battles fur her. There can be no valid reasun fur our interference in the present dispute, unless the alleged en- croachme.ts of Great Britain upon Venez- uela are, in the words of Pre-tlent Monroe, “dangerous to our peace and saf ety.”

2. The disputed territory could not be used by Great Britain az a base of military operations against this country. It has no good harbors. It is three thousand miles away from our nearest coast. Without this Great Britain bas St. Lucia, Kingston, Bermuda, Halifax and Vancouver.

3. The annexation of the disputed terri- tory to a British colony would not be an assault upon our political system. Next to ourselves, Great Britaia and our colonies best exemp'y the working of free institu tiens. The most ,otent argument against such institutions is furnished by the tar- bulent republics. of Central and South America.

4. The controversy between Great Brit- ain and Venezuela does not threaten out foreign trale. Under the so-called “reci- procity” clause of the McKinley tariff we had no difficulty in making a satisfactony commercial agreement w.th Great Brita: as to her West india colonies, including British Guiana. Venezuela retused to make those concessions our Government demaniled, and in consequence President Harrisoa exercised the power of retalia- tion conferred upon him by that act.

5. We told Great Britain she must sub- mit her boundary dispute to arbitration. We have not offered to sabmit to arbitra- tion the question whether we bave any interest in that dispute, which can by any possibility justify armed intervention.”

Loxpox, Dec. 21—The Westininster Gazette says that President Cleveland,s second special message to congress greatly improves the situation. “Tue presi dent's enemies,” the Gazette rays, “though stalwurt for the application | ef the Monroe doctrine, will not scruple to attack his currency policy, We hope our government will se.ze the vecasion to make it clear that we do not intend to challenge the Mouroe doctrine or to raise thut issue.” The Pall Mall Gazette says: “Even it Venezuela were ten thousand times right, it would be impossible for Great Britain to recognize her rights or even make the slightest concession to her until President Gleveland withdraws from his menacing atitude. The sole service woich bis mes eave has done to the Monroe doctrine is to call forth a chorus of disavowagl and ridi cule from the whole of Europe.
