TO SAVE VENEZUELA.
America Will Interfere, Con-
gresham Livingston Thinks.
THE MONROE DOCTRINE ALIVE.
Great Britain Has Drawn Seven From
tier Lines-Action to BE Taken
by the New Congress.

washington CITY. June Z7.-congressman
Livingston. Of Georgia, author ~ the reso-
luton passed by the last congress, direct
ing the president TO urge Great Britain 10
arbffrats the Brftisb-V enezuela question,
returned TO Washington City today from
an extended trip through Venezuela,
where he went to make a personal investI-
CATION OF the merits Of the controversy
He went as a guest of the Venezuelan gov
eminent, and was given an official recep-
ton throughout his stay In that country
He returned with fund OF information
which promises 10 have a bearing on the
action OF the United States in extending
the Monroe doctrine to the British-Fene-
zuelan troubles.
AS a result OF Mr. Livingston's trip ne is
convinced that the United States will
adopt a strong policy on the British-Ven-
ezuelan question, perhaps through the ex-
eeutfve branch this summer, and certainly
through congress when IL reasssrnbles.
Col. Livingston was asked az 10 the re-
suits OF his investigation OF the BRUSH
claims.
81 found" said he. chat upon our part
Information had been very meager, ana
brought back many maps ana documents
which hone will throw light on the SUD
teet. The British have made no less than
seven lines as their boundary claims. The
fret four lines were found not to INCLUDE
the gold country and the land command
ing the mouth Of the Orinoco river. AS
result. the British have been pushing
their claims further inland. until they
now claim all the gold fields and the
lower or Ordnoco country. II is believed
beyond question that much OF this coun-
try belongs 10 Venezuela, and in any
event IL is only just that the subject
should be passed on by an impartial com
mission or arbitration as the United
States has suggested"
''But suppose Great Britain declines TO
arbtrate, what will the United states
DOR.
Congress will certainly take up the
question as soon as IL ensembles. II,
indeed. the executive branch OF the gov
eminent has not passed on IL in very
definite form By that time"
Col. Livingston was asked what would
be the ultimate result IL Great Britain
rejected all arbitration and commissions.
'-Then." said he, 1.-THE United States
will protect the interests of its citizens
In Venezuela. With the granting of this
American concession there is definite
something which IL Ia the duty Of this
government 20 protect, and l have no
doubt the responsibility will be assumed
by the executive branch and by congress,
which is very requisite to ensure a re-
specful enforcement of the attitude OF
the United States"

The First Commoner of England.
Harner's Weekly


The position of the British speaker is
somewhat unfamiliar to the experience of
other nations. He is the appointee of the
house itself by free election. and while he
is necessarily subject to reelection at the
opening of each new parliament, his re-
election has never been even opposed, ex-
cept on one occasion. during the long Pc
Rod of zoo years. Once elected. therefore
the speaker practically holds Office till he
chooses TO resign. In no case is a British
speaker ever likely TO be chosen from the
ranks OF very active partisans; indeed,
there is no such case upon record. The
government Of the day is charged with
the duty of proposing suitable candi-
date. and his rejection by the house would
entail the resignation Of the ministry, but
there is no reason why he should even be
selected from the party OF the govern
rnent There have been cases In which an
opposition member OF special personal fit
ness has been chosen, and IL is a curious
fact that such course has even be-
come common in some Of the Austral-
asian colonies. whose parliamentary prac-
tice is scrupulously framed upon the Brit
ish model To he the First Commoner
of England. 1.-THE representative OF the rep
resentative chamber which actually rules
the empire, is of course an object OF am
bition, and II a suitable candidate can
be found in the government party he is
likely 10 be chosen; on the other hand, il
NAV be doubted whether IT is possible to
point to any public position where per-
sonaI fitness enters so largely into the
calculations OF those intrusted with selec-
tiun TO an important office. II is encour-
aging 10 find that the result has been
that dignity and impartiality have dis
tinguished the holders OF the office Gor
hundreds OF years. Perhaps il is equal
ly important TO find that the influence OF
these two moral qualities has been found
equal to the task of maintaining order
and curbing excitement during centuries
Of national life where the coercive powers
vested in the holder Of the office itself are
so small as To depend entirely for en-
forcement upon the vote OF the house in
each case.

Steam Attachment to Telephone.

ClnCinnati COmmeTClaI tTdZ5IIt'
Manager Fowler. of the Telephone Elk
change, Ashland, Ky, has devised an in
genious attachment for telephones. to be
used in factories and shops where the
amount of noise makes It almost impossi-
bile TO hear the call bell of the instrument.
1t consists OF a steam whistle, which IS
turned or by means Of lever operated
by magnetism. When the instrument is
called from the exchange the bell rings
as usual, and by electric current passing
through a magnet a weight is released
which pulls the lever TO the whistle. Once
started the whistle keeps up its shrill
note until some one answers the call ana
turns off the steam. which Is done by
simply replacing the weight. one of
hese attachments IS being placed at the
local steel plant, another al the tannery
and several more will probably be in
stalled in sawmills and similar establish
ments

USED HIS WINCHESTER.
A Brakeman Fires" A "Dead Beat" Pas
senger and In Turn Is Fired upon
with Pop"

A regular pitched battle occurred
near the depot at Cerulean Springs
Wednesday afternoon between Reu-
ben Cochran, COL, the head brakeman
of O.V. train No. 13, and Chas. Ohara,
a negro hailing from Gracey. The
facts as CLEANED from a passenger are
as follows: Ohara boarded the train
at Gracey at $50 Wednesday and
beat his way to Cerulean. He was
ordered to get at the latter place and
obeyed, but when the train pulled
out Ohara climbed back on one of the
box cars and announced his intention
of going to Princeton at all hazards.
The brakeman tagged down the train
and ordered him to get off again. He
got down and as the brakeman got
aboard Ohara drew his pistol and
commenced shooting at him. He
fired three times but his aim was bad
and no harm was done. Cochran
stepped into the caboose and got his
winchester and as Ohara ran he fred
at him three times, but it is not
known whether or not he hit his man,
at any rate, he did not stop him as
he was soon out of sight and made
good his escape. 1t is understood
that a reward will at once be offered
by the railroad company for Ohara's
capture.
