VENEZUELA INVADED.

EDglish Cavalry From Fritish Guiana
Said to Have Taken Possession Of the
Disputed Territory.
New YORK, Feb. 17.-An armed force OF
English cavalry has entered the territory
Of Venezuela and taken possession in the
name of the Guruari Territory on the ground
that the Venezuelan republic contemplated
building a railroad to the Guruari section,
which road would infringe on admitted ter
ritorial rights OF the English Government.
This action had not been wholly unexpect-
ed by the Venezuelans, but they had hoped
the large American interests which GEN.
tered in Venezuela would deter England
from exercising such high-handed
policy as they have adopted. Such
was not the case, however. and it is said
General Silva, the Consul here. intends to
call tho attention Of the entire United
States to the matter and obtain for the
Venezuelans all the assistance, moral and
governmental, that can be utilized.

said, ito make second India out Of South

The Absence Of Lambs Proving . Serious
Matter For the New York Stock Ex-
change.
NEW YoRK, Feb. 16-The speculative
dizziness not only continues, but daily
grows more marked and exasperating.
Less than 1000 shares OF stock were dealt
in on tho Stock Exchange yesterday, break
ing The record, there never having been q
day in twenty years when 90 slight BUSH
ness was done.
One Of the most prominent governors Of
the Stock Exchange, . gentleman who 10
at the head Of one OF Wall streets biggest
brokerage houses, said: 1--WE have not
earned enough during the last six months
to pay our Office expenses, and we have
Jared not one whit worse than other firms.
Fully Q third Of the old clerks in Wall
street Houses have been discharged lately,
owing to the long continued lack OF bust.
ness. They have had their salaries reduced
materially, and more than one conspicuous
house is ready to 70 out Of business alto
gether. Enter an Office in the entire Wall
street district and you hear animated dis
cussiou Of just one subject-the prevailing
unprecedented dizziness. There are q hun.
dred theories to explain the unpleasant
conditions and another hundred suggesting
correctives."
Wall street insists on attributing the
trouble to ''outside" causes. The same
sort Of arguments used to be heard In the
San Francisco mining market when the
public, heeccd over and over again, first
began to fight shy Of the professional
shearers. The public went away and the
public stayed away, and even to this day it
has not been tempted back. Wall street
could have well afforded to heed this San
Francisco story long ago. The Stock Ex-
change is no protector Of the interests Of
investors. 1t was urged long time ago
that the Stock Exchange ought to throw
more safeguards around the dealings it au-
thor zed. Yesterday this suggestion as
sumed definite Official shape in a memorial
addressed to the Exchange governors de-
handing that the Office of auditor of rail-
way accounts be created on the Exchange
so that railway statements should be made
to amount to something more than q mere
collection Of mysterious figures. Such an
Office would prevent wildcat booming
whereby now the public is swindled; it
would head of the stream of lies that now
flow on Increasingly to scare investors out
Of their holdings Of substantial securities.
