SALISBURY APT TO GO SLOW.
THE VENEZUELA ULTIIATUM
STORY NOW DIsCREDITED.

Diplomats at Washington Point Out
That 1t is Too Early i'm the Game
for the Sending of an UItimatum.
As That step Is Never an Initial
One-The Premier Believed to Have
Sent Only Communication Asking
for an Explanation
Washington, Oct. 22.-Diplomatic circles
are growing somewhat skepticaI respect
ing the correctness of the London dis
patches which announce that an ultima
tum has been sent by Lord Salisbury to
Venezuela, and it is believed that these
dispatches are misleading. if they are not
in fact somewhat exaggerated. 1t is point
ed out that an ultimatum is never the in
ftial, but a subsequent step taken in inter-
national disputes. 1t is shown, in the case
in point that although the arrest of the
colonial officers at Uruana occurred in No
vember last, no official cognizance Of the
matter was taken by Great Britain until
recently. Under these circumstances, the
probability of an ultimatum being sudden
ly sprung is seriously doubted. / is not
questioned that Lord Salisbury has sent
communication to the Caracas govern
ment directing their attention to the ar
rest of Sergeant Behrens and asking for
suitable explanation. If Venezuela's ex-
planation should not be satisfactory then
it is said that Great Britain might with
propriety respond with an ultimatum in
which she might demand not only an APP
ology and a proper reparation, but limit
the time in which those conditions should
be compiled with A continued refusal by
Venezuela to furnish the satisfaction de-
manded, might be followed by serious con
sequences; but some months, it is believ-
ed VIII necessarily intervene before an
acute stage in the contention is reached.
London, oct. 22.-The st. James Gazette
says the statement is absolutely untrue
that a peremptOry dispatch or ultimatum
to Venezuela was delivered to Senior Rod
riguez, the Venezuelan consul here. As
the German government has consented to
temporarily take charge of the interests
of British subjects in Venezuela, the Ga
zette says, the dispatch to President Girls
20 will naturally be transmitted through
the foreign office in Berlin. The ultima
tum, IL is asserted, makes no reference 10
the boundary question, which England
declines TO regard as unsettled, but simply
deals with the matter of the arrest of
British Inspectors Burnes and Baker, in
regard to which Lord Salisbury informed
the Venezuelan government that If proper
reparation should not be given within the
time specified Great Britain would hold
means The measures taken viii proba-
bly, resemble those pursued in the Nicara-
guam affair and the British admiral in
those waters will doubtless receive in
StructiOnS to seize Venezuelan ports and
collect the customs duties

AUsTRIA's REICHsRATH.
The Policy of the Ministry An
nounced to the Chamber.


Vienna. Oct. 22.-The autumn session OF
the Reichsrath was opened to-day, on
which occasion Count Badeni. the new
premier. made his first address in that
capacity, announcing the policy of his
ministry to the chamber. His speech was
very long and frequently elected applause.
The government, he said. would respect
the legitimate aspirations Of all national
titles, but at the same time il would re-
man culture, which held the first place
in Austria, should be in no degree inn
paired. That the government had full
confidence in the Czech nation he contin-
ued, had been proved by the adjustment
Of exceptional laws in Prague. In view
OF this return to the normal state OF
things, the government would retain fun
liberty of action toward all parties which
the government would judge, not only by
their programmes, buf by their modes of
action. Nor would the government toler-
ate any departure from the path of civit-
cation. he said. 1t was firmly resolved
to prevent any uprising and this deter
mination would be rigidly adhered to. The
education of youth, he believed, ought to
be religious, but without any reactionary
tendencies
Count Badeni ANNOUNCED to the chamber
that the government you'd shortly intro
duce a bill providing fpr electoral reform
to give the workingn1an a vote, but also
to ameliorate his material condition. In
conclusion he said Ii was the desire Of
the government that Austria should be
powerful and united and in pursuit of this
end its motto would be Justice"
prolonged

FRANCES NAVAL CREDIT.
Admiral Besnard's Request for an
Additional Credit Denied.

Paris, Oct. 22.-Premier Ribot and Vice
Admiral Besnard, minister of marine, were
summoned to attend a meeting of the bud
get committee of the Chamber of Depu-
ties last evening. NJ. Ribot supported
Admiral Besnard's urgent demand for a
supplementary credit of 100000 francs
for the construction of the new ships and
naval works. Admiral Besnard contend
"a that it was imperative that France
should preserve her position in the Medi-
terranean and the north and place new
vessels upon the distant naval stations
After the departure of the Minister'S
Camille Pelletan, the reporter of the COM
mittee, proposed that 100000 francs be ap-
propriated on account of the new naval
construction programme. This proposal
was rejected by the committee, which al
so rejected all the other proposals for
credits for new vessels. NJ. Pelletan there
upon resigned, but his resignation has not
yet been accepted.
1t is expected the government will be
able to Withstand the attacks upon its
policy, which a number of deputies have
announced their intention to make in the
form of interpretations. The opposition
newspapers declare that the government
viii meet the Chamber of Deputies in
the same manner in which a bankrupt
would encounter his creditors.

rITTsBURG's INTEREST MONEY.
One OF the Banks Refuses to Reim-
burse the city.

One of the Banks Refuses to Reim-
burse the city.
Pittsburg, Pa. Oct. 22.-The First Ma
tional Bank has refused to pay the city
the interest alleged to have been illegally
collected from that institution by VIII
House, ex-assistant city attorney. The
Allegheny National and the Tradesmen's
National Banks have not yet given their
answer on this matter 1t is generally
anticipated. however, that their replies
viii be similar to that given by the First
National Bank.
City Attorney Burleigh is now preparing
to enter suits against the abOVe-named
banks. The method of procedure will
be to declare that a conspiracy existed
between the banks and City Attorney
Moreland aided by House, to defraud
the city of Pittsburg out of the use ana
possession of its money in deposit in the
different banks in the name of w. c.
Moreland on which interest was paid In
sums ranging from 2 to 3 per cent. per
annum. The suit will endeavor to show
that by reason of its being deprived Of
the use of this money, the city was COM
PEELED to pay interest on deferred pay
ments to contractors for improvements
at the rate of per cent. For these ana
other reasons, the city will seek to re-
cover at least twice the amount of in.
terest paid to w. H. House by the banks
in question
Further and still greater sensational de-
velopments in connection with the inVes-
tigation of the city attorneys office are
anticipated at an early day.
