BLAINE's BLUsTER.
A Venezuelan Commissioner Impressed
by Jingo's Palaver.


by Jingo's Palaver.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-The Post, to-
day, in speaking of the visit of the Ven-
ezuelan commissioner, DIR. Pulido, to
Blaine, says: The Post is now enabled
to state positively and unequivocally
that when Lucio Pulido, the Venezuelan
commissioner who recently visited Lon
don in the vain hope of settling the dis
pute, called upon Secretary Blaine, in
this city, he received from that gentle
man assurances more substantial in
their character than those previously
limited at in these columns. Secretary
Blaine expressed to DIR. Pulido the deep
interest which the United States felt
in the settlement of this bound
ary question. In this declaration
the secretary not only followed in the
footsteps of his predecessors, but went
further. He said to Dr. Pulido that the
interest thus felt was partly due to the
friendly feeling of this country toward
Venezuela. Paramount to this, how
ever, he said Significantly, that it was
the belief that the future greatness and
undisturbed autonomy of the western
hemisphere demanded that the mouth
of great American river like the Ori-
noco should not be controlled by a
foreign maritime and commercial power
like Great Britain. The advisability of
making public these utterances of
Blaine, pending the negotiations, was
seriously questioned by experienced
diplomats, but DR.. Pulido has taken the
responsibility for doing so, and has.
attested the correctness of the conyersa-
ton in report made over his own sig

ANXIETY FELT ABOUT THE CONDI-

nsurrection-Probable Closing of the
United States Legation.

New YORK, June PA Washington
dispatch says: There is an air of ex-
pectation displayed at the state and
navy departments over the situation in
Hayti. The officials are becoming I'M
patient at the delay in receiving full and
accurate reports of the condition of af-
fairs in the black republic. Yesterday
the state department received a letter
from Minister Douglass, supplemental
to his dispatch of the 2Sth of May
There are few details given, the minister
merely reiterating what he stated in his
cablegram, namely, that the insurrec-
tion did not amount to much that it
was little more than street riot by
which one or two lives were lost. Not
withstanding Mr.. Douglass temper.
ate report, the officials of the
state and navy departments are antici-
pating trouble. Anxiety to ascertain
the exact situation led the department
to cable Minister Douglass for full
particulars. The question of closing the
United States legation in Port-au-Prince
is being seriously considered by the gov
ernment. A letter written by Minister
Firman, to the special commissioners in
reply to their request for the lease of
the mole of st. Nicholas, is SO unfriendly
in tone that serious GGsnse has been
taken at " washington. 1t Is understood
that in their reply to this letter, Minis
ter-Douglass and Admiral Gherardi ex-
pressed their dissatisfaction with the
settlement of the affair, and left matters
in such condition that the subject can
not be taken up again.

Oueen Rees on the Free List.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Assistant Sec
retary Spalding has decided that queen
bees are entitled to entry free of duty
under the tariff provision for animals
specially imported for breeding pur-
poses, notwithstanding the requirement
that the provision for certificate of
pedigree showing pure breeds can
not possibly be complied with
in their case. This is in har-
mony with the practice under the old
tariff, but is in conflict with the practice
under the present tariff OF assessing duty
on queen bees at the rate of 20 per cent.
ad valorem, under the provision for ami
mails, not otherwise provided for. The
present ruling is based on the represen-
tation that these bees are never inn
ported for other than breeding pur-
poses, and that they are always of su-
perior breed.

AN INTERESTING TRIAL.
The King-Poston Murder Case at Mem

phis, Tenn.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 12.-The ante
mortem declaration of David Poston
was read this morning in the criminal
court, before which Colonel King is on
trial for Poston's murder. In it, Poston
said, King walked up to him, called him
a scurrilous name and fred Immediately.
Colonel King then took the
stand and told a different story.
He says he met Poston and
asked him to withdraw the charges made
against him (King) and wife in the fam
GUS King-Pillow case. He refused, and
King denounced him as scoundrel.
Poston then called King vile names, and,
witness asserted, pnt his hand behind
his overcoat, and witness, thinking he
had pistol, drew his own and fired.
The cross bill in the King-Pillow case
was then read, and King said the whole
thing was tissue of falsehoods. A di-
vorce bill which was never filed was also
introduced. 1t professed to be copy of
bill written by King, setting forth
that his married life was unhappy, and
that he arranged for a marriage with
Mrs. Pillow in the event of divorce be-
ing obtained. King entered denial of
this.

BERLIN, June 12.-In the lower house

on grain duties was resumed. Won
Caprivi declared that it was impossible
for the government to submit to the
house the reports which had been re-

to inquiries made by the government in
regard to grain matters. But the cham

that Russia would not supply sufficient
grain for the use of Germany. In con-
clusion the chancellor strongly protested
against the reproach that the govern
ment had not paid due consideration to
the welfare OF the working people.
After considerable additional debate,
Rickert's motion, that the government t
should submit to the house the material
upon which the chancellor based his
recent speech upon grain duties, was re-
jected by vote of 223 to 20.
