PRICES SMASHED IN WALL STREET BYA APLOT

this morning prints the following special
London dispatch:
LONDON, ENG, Dec. N.-The belief that
the great powers of Europe supported
England in the Venezuelan controversy is
now exploded. Russia is now frank in her
delight at the embarrassment OF Lord
Salisbury's Government, and France, see-
ing her opportunity, has suddenly veered
to the Russian view.
There has been lot of silly talk here
about the United States not being in SYM
pathy with President Cleveland's Vene-
zue1an policy, and, relying on the ridlcu-
lous reports that the Senate would not
support the President, Englishmen have
INDUCED in the most absurd cackle. The
news of the Senate's action in unani-
mously passing the House bill for the ex-
penses of the Venezuelan Commission fell
like bomb IN London tonight. AT the
clubs and in diplomatic circles it is dis
cussed with the gravest apprehension.
England at last realizes that the situation
is critical. Panics are expected on all the
stock exchanges tomorrow, and Mr.. John
Bull, fnancier, is preparing for shock.
There has been no such excitement in
London in years as there is tonight.
The evening newspapers declare that
war with the United States would be fratri-
eide, and yet seeing the unanimity of the
American people, they see no way of re-
treat except in complete backdown, for it
is evident that the United States will not
bulge from its position.
The Liberal papers show their dissent
from Salisbury's Venezuelan policy by
pounding him on the Armenian tiasco.
In poem published to-day, William
Watson, Government employe, calls upon
Salisb bury to save England from the stain
of massacre.
The general opinion is that England
cannot afford to fight. One of the anus
ing features of the gloomy situation is
that hope is expressed that the New York
Chamber of Commerce will prevail in op
posing its views to those of the American
Congress and people.
at the American Embassy there is deep
gloom. It is certain that President Cleve
land has severely rebuked Bayard.
An attache of the legation admitted to
the correspondent to-day that Bayard now
realized that he had talked too much.
Clevelands change of front astounded him
and he is utterly puzzled. 1t is believed in
diplomatic circles that Bayard's resigna-
tion will soon be announced.
All the South American Ministers
frankly say that they are,in hearty SYM
pathy with the United States. and that
they will give their unqualified moral sup
port.

NO CONTINENTAL HELP.
SO England Will Retaliate In Finan.
Cial WaV.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 21.-The Suns s
London correspondent cables:
There is no longer any doubt that Eng
lands reply to President Cleveland's mes
sage is to be a blow against America s
financial interests. 1t may not be delib-
erately concerted attack, but it is certain
to be simultaneous action by a sufficient
number of English investors, to cause a
serious effect for the time being upon
American markets.
The effect upon stocks is already mani
fest and needs no explanation. The effect
upon trade, commercial credits and the
general monetary situation will come a
little later and business men in the United
States no doubt are already preparing to
meet it.
Things are being done by responsible
and reputable men of prominence in the
financial world which by no possibility
can be credited to any form of financial
wisdom or alarm.
Resentment and nothing else must ac-
count for the action of Borthwick and one
or two other large brokerage houses, which
refused to-day to conduct any further deal
ings in American securities.
A retaliatory spirit, too has much to do,
no doubt, with the reported intention of
Rothschild to call in f5,0OO,0OO of Ameri-
can credits due on January 1. Any con-
firmation or denial of this report was re-
fused at the Rothschilds Office to day.
The question now is: How far are Eng
lish financial and commercial men willing
o indulge their resentment and punish
the United States for daring to disturb
trade and monetary affairs? They GER
tainly are not going TO allow their own
pockets to suffer if they can help it.
One great mischief they are doing with
out G compunction. They are advising in
vestors to sell American securities at any
price they can get.
This advice costs nothing to give, but it
threatens to entail immense sacrifices upon
those who act upon it. The pressure to
sell in the last two days has been some
thing tremendous. 1t will not be long, of
course, before the American public will
see the advantage of giving John Bull all
he wants of this sort of revenge. If he
wishes to sell American properties far
below their value the United States soon
will be willing to accommodate him,
knowing full we'll that he will be glad to
buy them back at much higher figures.
1t should be borne in mind that those
who are advocating boycott of Ameri-
can securities all protest that they have
not the slightest belief in the possibility
of war. Therefore their motive is solely
revenge.
Continental press comment is no longer
unanimous or nearly SO, in favor of the
English position.
The German newspapers now are divided
on the merits of the dispute, and in com
mon with the majority of the French
press, distinctly notify England that she
need expect no help or sympathy from her
continental neighbors, even if she happens
to have the right technically on her side
in this particular case.

Ships of War That Will Soon Be

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. 2O-Commo-
dore Sicard was at his desk in the navy
yard all day yesterday and consulted with
the head of each department. His pur-
pose was to learn the exact state Of affairs
there. He received several dispatches
from Washington bearing on the work un-
der his jurisdiction. The commodore said
he had no news of interest to commune
cate. His staff officers and other subordi-
nate officials were equally secretive.

Views of the Spectator on EngIand's
Attitude.

LONDON, ENG, Dec. 20.-The Spectator
mas furnished the United Press with ad-
vance proofs of an article which it will
publish tomorrow on the subject of Presi-
dent Clevelands message to Congress in
regard to the Venezuelan dispute. The
article says:
"Nobody here dreams of menacing the
United States; nobody here has the faint
est idea of conquering, colonizing or
claiming any fresh portion of either of the
two Americas. and nobody disputes the
right of the United States to defend any
State in America which she may think 1T
proper in her interests to defend. All we
maintain is that we are entitled to protest
against Spanish aggression on frontiers
which we believe are unquestionably ours,
and which the people of the United States,
if Guiana were theirs, would similarly de-
fendp

"What! Are you going to leave all this ~

rItory: 1--WE now pass the Rubicon and
can never recede without dishonor."
Teller (R.) of Colorado expressed his re-
gret that the President had not settled the
question of commission, as he might
have done, without sending it to Congress.
He6 Tetler) was not frightened by the lit
tie financial disturbances in London and
New York. Suppose stocks did fall? That
was matter which the American people
did not care much about. He understoo
that railroad stocks had fallen per cent
to-day. He did not care if they fell so pei
cent; that would not affect the country
generally-only a few spectators. But
the English would not sell American
stocks. That was bluff on their part.
At the conclusion of Teller's remarks,
on motion of Chandler (R.) of New Hamp-
shire the proposed amendments to the
House bill were laid on the table and the
bill was read third time and progressed
to point where the question was on its
passage.
Then an offer of amendment was made
by Caffery CD of Louisiana, who was in
formed by the presiding officer-Harris
(D.) of Tennessee-that the bill had gone
beyond the point where any amendments
could be offered.
The presiding officer then put the ques-
ton, ''ShaIl the bill pass?" and as the
votes viva voce) were all aye and not one
no, he declared that the House bill was
passed without amendment.
The Senate then, at 3:45 o'clock, pro-
ceeded to executive business, and when
doors were opened at 4 80 o'clock the pre-
siding officer laid before the Senate the
Presidents message asking that no recess
be taken until after financial legislation
necessary to preserve the credit of the
Government had been enacted.
II move that the Senate do now ad-
journ." said Cockrell (D.) of Missouri, as
soon as the reading of the message was
concluded.
"Why" said Hawley (R.) of Connecti-
cut, with real or affected surprise. Il ex-
pected that some serious consideration
would be given to this most important
message of the President by our Demo
cratic friends fr
eve want time to consider it," Cockrell
bluntly rejoined, and then at 4 AS o'clock
the Senate adjourned until tomorrow.

Cramps yard in Philadelphia. The ship
is reported to be nearly ready for service.
1t is estimated by the Bureau of Construc-
tion that she can be put in commission If
haste is observed, in three months. Her
gun mounts are behind, and the new
orders relating to work on them are to
hurry the finishing touches with all pos
sible dispatch. This is the object of EN-.
ploying night force.
The workmen assigned to the duty have
been selected with regard to zeal, it is
learned, and under the naval inspectors
they are counted on to make good progress.

now there is no danger of the Massachu-
setts being held back on account of her
gun mounts.
were shipped to San Francisco few days
| ago. They were sent by fast freight and
will reach their destination within ten
days, and probably be in place on board
by the middle of January. The battery of
the Indiana is in all respects ready for use.
Some rather sensational information was
given out at the War Department yester-
day. 1t appears that for years England
has prepared for war with the United
States. Her officials in the diplomatic,
military and naval services have sys-
tematically and with much energy accu-
rnulated all possible intelligence relating
to this country which would be advan-
tageous to her in time of hostilities. The
British War Office and the Admiralty not
only know all about the exterior of every
United States ship but they have plans of
the interior as well. Virtually they lack
no information on this subject. Reports
recently forwarded to London give the
minutest details of the vessels. They also
give intelligence concerning all the coun-
try's harbors and rivers, the depth of
water, their defenses and all other data
which would be useful to hostile fleet
This is, perhaps, not so surprising as the
fact that the English are thoroughly fa-
miliar with the forts, garrisons and like
military rosts.
The War Department has recently been
informed that late reports have been sent
to London concerning the number and To-
cation of defenses erected and projected on
the Atlantic, Pacific, Lake and Gulf coasts.
Officers of the British army have made
sketches of the defenses, have prepared
Typographical maps, and have noted the
location, character, etc., of all interior
roads and streams. In word Great
Britain is in full possession of all facts
necessary to map out campaign against
the United States.
This is not ALL according to officials at
the War Department. Her authorities
have actually drawn up plan of cam
paign, and the programme, worked out in
complete details, is now on file in the Mill
tary Information Bureau of the English
War Office, to be referred to in case of
emergency. The plan is based on the most
recent information from this country, and
in case of war in the immediate future
Britise ships and troops can be maneu-
vered with accurate knowledge of the
physical conditions to be encountered.

The present outflow of gold indicates
that our great bond merchant, Mr.. Cleva-
land. Will soon purchase more 20 keep up

January, 1894 he mas poured $3.50. 600. coo
into the treasury. 500, 900. 600 realized by
selling ten-year ) per cent. gold bonds
10 the people, and $4,000, 600 of per cent.

Rothschld, Belmont & Co. There is no
way TO stop this outflow OF gold until
our English mortgages are paid up. and
until our native fools cease 20 spend
500 oo0,o 600 in gold abroad annually.
which Is the case now. In Whatcom coun-
