Mr. Voorhees (Democrat, Mo.,) thought the bill should be passed as it came from the house. Iam willing, said he, to join ssue with Great Britain on this sulject.

uadue haste. This was not

Sut | question. The politcial party that attempt-

ed to make capital out of this would be the loser inthe end. This country did not want to goto war. Ifwe did go to war it should be in the spirit that would lead us to sink every dollar we possess and lose every able-bodied man, it need e, in defence of our national honor. War between us and Great Britain would be the most tremendous war the world had seen from the days of Alexander to the present time. It would be universal. If anybody believed there could be war between us and Great Britain without bringing in other powers, they have not studied the European situation. . European powers would not permit England to get the ad- vantage of us. Russia was patiently wait- ing for a chance to get an opening into the sea, to make inroads into India and dom- inate China. M*. Veller thought there was little chance fur war; the chances would be more serious for Great Briatin than us. Neither nation could afford to go to war unless a great principle was at stake.

Mr. Morgan said he would call a meet- ing of the committee on foreign relations for tc-morrow morning, at which this watter and others ofa kiudred character would be consider: d.

Paris, December 19.—M. D.liavse, for- verly French minister of colonies, said : Mr. Cleveland is a man of sound sense and rftl-ction. Itis not likely he sent his Venezuelan message to congress without having duly weighed the consequences aud being practically certain of achieving M. Delicasse declined to say the message, and med i- tated taking action in Asia Minor, it would cause modifications in the policy of Purkey.

M. Doloncle, French colenial expert and deputy, spoke iz warm approval of the message which, he said, vigorously af- firmed an indestructible national tra fition and promulgated a new public right, against which British rage wae powerlese. It is uselese, he declared, for €nyland to hope to obtain the sapport of Eu-ope in this matter. Mr. Cleveland has turned the tables by employing toward Great Britain methods she herrelf hitherto used against her enemies. France, which has long been demanding arbitration of her dispute with Brazil,ts bound to support Mr. Cleveland, who re-assures Fsance of the inpossibility of England’s encroaching upon French territory recogn'zed by the Utrecht treaty. Theappointment of an American boundary commission will ac- complish the work of just ce and establish an excellent precedent. The eventual consequences of Mr. Cleveland’s attitude will be the antonomy of Canada and the end of British intrigues in Central and South Amrrica. Europe now realizes that a force exists capable of imposing respect for a right which it bas hitherto been accustomed to ignore.

M. Rouanet, member of the Chamber of Deputies, said : “England’s attitude in Venezuela amp'y justifies the United States in intervening in behalf of the weaker republic. President Cleveland’s message will cause England to reconsider ari not rush.”

Loxpox, December 19.—The Morning Post says that if the utterances of Secre- tary Olney and President Cleveland meant anything, the recall of Sir Jalian Paunce- fote, the British ambassador to U. § : would be jastified. The paper agrees with Mr. Cleveland in deprecatirg an appral to arms, but says that “languaze of this kind makes it necessary to consider the chances of war.

New Haveyx, Conn, December 19.— Professor Wm. G. Sumner, of Ya'e, the well well known economist: ‘I dissent from every statement of history or law contained in the president’s message. All proceed- ings in the matter are unjustifiable. The suggestions of the message seem to me undiplomatic and mischievous. There will be sober second thoughts to this matter, War with England wouli be grave business for our sous and our oro perty. If we are only playing with a notion fur war, leaving ourselves secure, we shal! not cut a good fizure in our own evea when we come to realize how we are acting. Let us wait for second thoughts. It is possible it may prove a boomerang in political effects.”

Loypew ,"zc. 19—The St. James Gaz- ette says: “The Amer.cans would fight with ali the fisrce energy of the race fur 4 principle or an idea, ani sacr.fice a m/l- lion men and spend a thou aot million dollars to punish what they conceived to be an invasion of their rights or an at- tempt to work an injustice upon them We know tha’, and re pect them for it.” Te Ga zette, nevertheless, is unable to imagine why the United States should re- sent the action of Great Britain in Vene- zuela, and advises the American to read the entire series of despatches on the enb- ject which paased between Lord Salisbury aid Secretary Olney.

Wasnincrox, Dec. 19.—Hale (Repub- lican, Maine) to-day introduced a bill in the Senate authorizing the President to have constructed by contract six séa-going coast line steel battleships about 11,000 tons displacement, designed t o carry the heaviest armor and most powerful ord- nance and highest rate of speed, to cost $4,000,000 each, and for torpedo ships to cost $175,000 each.

Panis, December 19.—In an _ interview, Jules Simon, the French statesman, said that, notwithstanding his sympathies with a sister republic of France, he could not see how tne Monroe doctrine was app!ic- able in the Venezuelan controversy. He was convinced that a peaceful solution of the question would be found that would be honorable to both countries. In the Fig- aro Jacques Saint Cere has an article in which he contends that the Monroe doc~ trine is nota principle of international law. He says if the Americans hold to a doctrine forbidding Europe to interfere in American affairs, why do they interfere in European questions ? England may be wrong or right; but the principle involved is of world wide interest. France has a similar difficulty with Braz. It is im- possible to admit a priociple which woald prevent settling directly with the latter.

Loxpox, December 19.—The Times thi; morning dilates on the reported prote t~ and misgivings of sections of the Am-ri- can people regarding the Venezuelan mat- ter, and expresses the opinion that if con- gress bad taken or had been allowed more time to overcome its excitement, the vote on the appropriation for the Venezuelan commission might at least have been pre ceded by a decorous discussion -of the merits of the case, Iteays: “The preten~ sioas of a foreign government to appoint a commission of enquiry into the boundary of a portion of our empire, the conclusions of which commission are to be forced down our throats by a th:eat of war, is one which a less spirited people wonld resist to the last gasp. Wheuthe American peo- ple realize the monstrous insulting char- acter of the demand preferred in cheir name, we have Jittle doubt that they will recognize that our attitude is the only one that men of their blood could jossibly adopt Or that they could see us adopt without a blash; but whether they event- ually do us this jus'ice or not, there can be no question that in the vindication of our national dignity Lord Salisbury — will have the unanimous and hearty support of the whole English people as well as the sympathy of every nation that respects it- self.”

Bripcerort, Conn., Dec. 19.—An inter- view upon the sulject of President Cleve- lani’s message was had with Rear Admiral Gherardi, retired. He said in part : “{ have read the Pres dent’s message carefully. It commende itself to me, a¢ it ought to every American citiz*p. I do not believe there will be war as the result of the messaze, but such a thing is possible- This govern- meat ought not to attempt to force war. The Monroe doctrine is one of the bulwarks of the United States and it must be defend- ed. Inthe event of war the first thing to Le done by us would be to ovcrrun Canada, then overthrow commerce. This latter would not beso difficult as supposed. England’s commerce is carried in slow vessels. Our commerce destroyers could easily overtake and destroy them. The

The modiste is much; the material is more. Priestley’s black dress fabrics are noted for their easy fitting quality, for the refinement which gives them a peculiar distinction. Priest- ley’s new creation, the ‘KEndora,” appears their best, if their famous Henriettas can be beaten. In glow, in quality, in exquis- ite draping effects, the “Kudora” takes the palm.

Before the opening of the local stock

market it was known here that prices for

Americans in London had broken any-

where from one to four per cent. The

result was a great rush to sell stocks the minute the board opened for business. The lo¢al operators, who have become weaken- ed financially by the recent break in the industries, were forced to sej]. This, add- ed to the depression. No discrimination was used. Gilt edged issues, as well as rattletraps are being thrown on the market apparently regardless of the price. Ru- mors of heavy withdrawals of gold for ex- port.to Europe next week had a demoral- iziog influence. Money which brd been raling at 4 percent. and under to the stock extl a ge borrowers, euddenly rose to eighty per cent., anda namber of banks began to call in loans. Three stock ex-
