DEMEANOR
SHE WILL PAY NO REGARD TO
 CLEYELAND'S MESSAGE.


 Act-To Enforce the Payment of the Colonial Police rndrnnity. London, Dec. 19-The Manchester Guardian asserts that it has knowledge that the foreign office will placidIy pro- coed without regard to President Clove- lands message, and that the. demand for indemnity for the arrest of members of the English colonial police will be steadily pressed upon Venezuela and, if necessary, enforced by the admiral commanding the West Indian station. The territory extending to the Schom- burgk line, the Guardian says, will also be held against Venezuela or any other power, while the matter of the posses sion of the territory beyond that line will be submitted to arbitration, if that can be agreed upon with Venezuela; otherwise, it, too, will be occupied in the course of time.
 The Pail Mall Gazette to-day assumes patroniz:ng tone. "We are not in furiated," it says, nor are we excited; but We are partly astonished, partly amused and also somewhat embarrass- ed as when somebody else has com m;tted a bad breach of decorum in pub lie We know it is not our fault, yet We feel awkward and are disposed to blush"'
 The Globe says: ''Whether election eXigencies lie behind the message of President Cleveland or not, it docs not matter. A much more serious matter is the fact that the chief magistrate of the United tSates has distinctly pledg ed himself that if England refuses to abide by the award of a commission of arbitration he will resort to Warlille measures to enforce obedience to his will"
 The Westminster Gazette. continuing discussion of the Venezuela controyer- sy in the light of the connection of the United States herewith says: Lord Salisbury made @ mistake in going be- yond necessity in the case and arguing against the merits of the Monroe doc urine as being obsolete. He ought to have confined himself in showing that it did not apply to the present case"
 None of the morning papers 'to-mor- row will follow the evening papers of to-day in discussing the relative merits of the fleets and armies of England and the United States. The big dailies seemed to have agreed to avoid this topic altogether.
 The St. James Gazette says: "The Americans would fight with all the fierce energy of the race for a principle or an idea and sacrifice a million men and spend a thousand million dollars to punish what they conceived to be an invasion of their rights or to attempt 10 work an injustice upon them. We know that, and respect them for it."
 The Gazette, nevertheless, is unable to imagine why the United States should resent the action of Great Brit ain in Venezuela, and advises the Americans to read the entire series of despatches on the subject which passed between Lord Salisbury and Secretary Olrey.
 The stock exchange market was not improved at the opening today. Amer ican railroad stocks were weak and un- settled, and the other securities were inactive and slack.
 Rev Joseph Parker, in the course of a sermon in the City Temple to-day, told his hearers that there would be no war between England and America. The Christians of both countries, he said would keep the peace of the world.
 Berlin. Dec, 19.-Concerning the effect of President Cleveland's message to the American congress Behemrath Schwa- bach, the head of the banking firm Of Bleichroder, said to a representative of the United Press to-day:
 ''The message of the president is only an election coup and has not affected the Berlin ibourse at all. The Russian loan just offered was oversubscribed four or five times. The threat convey ed in the message will not have any practical effect until both states raise armies.
 Tt would be different if great mili- tary powers, like Russia and Austria, used such language, but England and the United States as regards armies, ar, now in the position that Germany was in in the sixteenth century"
 The members of the American colony, irrespective Ot party pfelefenCe or al filiations, are unanimous in approval Of President Cleveland's message, which they regard as matter of national honor, not of party tactics The colony praise the Americans for having rous- ed from their recent inaction in the face of foreign assumption.
 A member of the British embassy here. who was interviewed by a repre- sentative of the United Press this morn- ing, declined to express, as British officer any opinion in regard to Presi- dent Cleveland's message, or to talk of any of the phases of the Venezuelan controversy.
 In his private capacity, however, he said that he regarded Lord Salisbury as being in every respect Q, match for MT. Cleveland in the use of strong lan- guage. He thought the message bid for the Irish vote, and did not believe that it meant war.
 The French ambassador begged to be excused from expressing any opinion in the matter.
 Madrid Dec. 19-The Madrid news papers, commenting on President CteVe- lands message to the United States coro1aSs agree in rncaTtIing the dOcu-
