FRANCE Is NEUTRAL.
fairs, Docs Not Care to Give Opinions
on the Message.

London, Dec. ia dispatch from
Paris to a news agency gives a report
of an interview with NJ. Hanotaux, who
was Minister of Foreign Affairs in the
cabinet of Premier Dupuy and retained
that portfolio in the succeeding minis
try formed by NJ. Ribot. NJ. Hanotaux,
when asked to give his views upon the
question between the United States and
Great Britain over the latter's claim in
Venezuela, said that no serious French
politician would venture to express an
opinion in a case upon which two pow
ers friendly to France were at variance.
He had. he said. the most implicit con-
fidence that Lord Salisbury's judgment,
firmness ard fairness would attain a
satisfactory solution of the difficulty
without resortng to force. NJ. Hano-
taux declined to discuss the Monroe doc
trne. Each case he said. ought to be
judged upon its merits. If the bound
airy dispute between France and Brazil
became acute it ought to be submitted
to arbitration.
In the small dispute between France
and Venezuela, which was not n terri
toral question. the United States sought
to interfere. He (Hanotaux) resisted
such interference and simply demanded
that France be left to settle the matter
without the interruption of third
party
Paris. Dec. 19.--M. Del Casse. formerly
French minister of the Colonies, said in
an interview with United States Press
representative today: Mr.: Cleveland
is man of sound sense and reflection
and it is not likely that he sent his mes
sage to congress without having duly
weighed the consequences and being
practically certain of achieving his
aim."
NJ Del Case declined to say whether
he approved the message or not, and
added that If /! was true that England
meditated taking action in Asia Minor.

| icy of Turkey.

from Italy.

panti. the noble guard of Pope Leo XIII,
equipped with the Zucchetto and ber-
retta to be conferred on Mgr. Satolli,

full uniform of a noble guard, had with
him the little red zucchetto to be con-
ferred on Mgr. Satolli. He presented
Mgr. Satolli with the consistorial letter,
and in doing so made a brief address.
He explained his mission, and said that
at the consistory of Goth of November
last the Holy Father had made Arch
bishop Satolli n cardinal, and had hon
ored him by giving. him the mission
to bring the insignia and document to
America. Mgr. Sparratti then opened
the consistorial letter and read it. 1t
was a brief and official announcement
that the pope had created Mgr. Satolli a
cardinal.
The latter then made a speech in
Italian. directing 1t to the noble guard,
in which he gave appropriate expires
sion to his appreciation of the dignity
conferred upon him.
He then took the little red zucchetto
and placed it on his head, and. walking
with the noble guard. entered the dining
hall, the other guests following, where
well appointed banquet was partaken
of.
On Jan. the berretta will be con-
ferred on Mgr. Satolli by Cardinal Glib
bons. at Baltimore, which will be the
last act of making him a cardinal.
He will. however. have to go to Rome in
order to receive the cardinals hat"
but at what time he will depart he is
not yet aware. As cardinal cannot be
delegate, the office he has occupied
as archbishop, Mgr Satolll is now a
pro-delegate.

New York. Dec 1.-THE Mercury to-
morrow will say: 1t was reported to-
day that the president contemplated APP
pointing ex-President Harrison on the
Venezuela commission and designat-
ing him to be chairman of the commits
sion. This report was brought to New
York by Colonel George Christ, of Ari-
zona. Colonel Christ said:
From what have heard. believe
that Mr.. Cleveland has decided to offer
the chairmanship of the commission to
General Harrison. ! am not an admir-
er of Cleveland. but am forced to ad-
NIT that in many things he displays un-
usual judgment and common sense. 1t
would be master stroke on his part to
invite General Harrison to take the post
of honor on the commission, and to
certain extent 1t would take the wind
out OF the Republican sails. General
Harrison could hardly refuse to serve

business element of st. Iiouiss flushed
with their recent success in securing the
Republican national convention, now

About the Ottoman Empire.
CONDITION OF AMERICANS
Ono Hundred and Scventy.Two Arc Mis-
sionarics-Their Property Destroyed.
Trial of the Murdercrs OF Frank
Lenz. the American Bicyclist.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The president
today submitted to congress a commu-
ncation from Secretary Omey on the
Armenian outrages in response to the
resolution of the senate. Secretary Oh
ney states that the number of citizens of
the United States resident i'm the Turk
ish empire Is not accurately known but
there are l72 American missionaries and
dependents scattered over Asia Minor.
There are also number of American
citizens engaged in business in the
turkish dominions, and others origin
ally Turkish subjects but now natural
lied citizens of the United States.
The bulk of this American element is
to be found remote from our few con-
sular establishments. He bears testi-
mony to the energy and promptness
displayed by our minister, Mr. Terrell,
in taking measures for their protection
which had received the normal support
of naval vessels of the United States.
He adds that while the physical safety
of the citizens of the United States
seems to be assured, their property
had been destroyed at Harpoot and
of 100000.
Notice of Responsibility.
The Turkish government had been
notified that it would "be held respon-
sible for the immediate and full salts
faction of all injuries on that score"
The loss of American property at Mar
ash had not been ascertained, but a like
demand for adequate indemnity would
be made as soon as the facts were
known.
The correspondence which is very vol
luminous, refers to many individual
cases in some Of which the Turkish gov
ernment has taken action satisfactory
to this government, among them the
killing of Frank LEM, the American
bicyclist. Six persons are to be put on
trial for the murder. In another inter-
esting case that of George Webber, a
naturalized American citizen, the de-
mands OF Minister Terrell have not so
far borne fruit.
