Spanish OPINION on III d.

New YORK, Dec. 2l.-A special
to the Herald from Havana says !:
La Discussion has been received from
Madrid giving the opinions of
Spanish military engineers of
high rank on the possibility of a
war between the United States and
England over the Venezuelan
boundary question.
One officer high In the engineer
ing department Of SPANS army,
Col. Genaro Arlos, is quoted as
saying that England was treading
on dangerous ground. II she
should press the Venezuelan affair
to a climax she would soon reco-
uize the fact that there was only
one American and that in a crisis
such as the present one every re-
public on the continent from the
pygmy San Salvador to the giant
Brazil would coalesce as IL by
magic and follow the United States
in battle to preserve and defend
the integrity OF their territory
against European aggression. 1t
was to be doubted whether Eng
land could count upon assistance
from other European states.

England Accepted Monroe Once.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. 2l.-
Ex.secretary of the navy, Richard
w. Thompson, says it is his i'm
preston, gained while he was pre-
pairing his argument on the Mon
roe doctrine in the Panama canal
case before a senate committee in
1861, that there is in the state de-
partment at Washington formal
assent by England to the Monroe
doctrine. At the time the doctrine
was promulgated by President
Monroe, England was hostile to
Spain against whose efforts to ex-
tend her possessions in the western
hemisphere the doctrine was
directed. There was public ap-
proval of the message in England,
but Col. Thompson thinks there
was also a formal assent, which is
much more important now. The
Colonel has sent a letter to Senator
Voorhees, apprising him OF his i'm
preston,

The Bikes HIT the Railroads.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-The bicycle
men have scored one on the rail-
roads since the latter declared that
they would no longer carry the
bicycles without a charge. The
wheelmen have taken to packing
their wheels in trunks, and then
checking the trunks, and the roads
are compelled to carry them as
ordinary baggage. Several Of the
roads asked Chairman Caldwell to
rule on the matter and pointed out
to him the difficulty OF determin-
ing what is in the trunks. The
chairman has ruled that the rail-
road must make the best of the
situation. Rules may be enforced
when wheels go in crates but when
they go in trunks as personal bag
gage the roads must carry them as

Mounting a Big Gun.

New YORK, Dec. 2l.-The SOL
diers of Fort Wadsworth, Staten
Island, are busy preparing the
big steel gun for mounting on the
new impenetrable battery just
completed. The new gun is one Of
five built at Watertown arsenal
for Fort WadswOrth, and which
comprise the most powerful bat
terry in New York harbor. 1t
weighs fourteen and one-half tons,
and will rest on a carriage weigh
ing twenty-siX and one-half tons.
1t is one of the largest disappear
ing type, which throws projectile
Weighing 400 pounds, and will re-
quire l25 pounds Of powder for
each discharge. The remaining
four are expected early next week.
After the guns have been mounted
it will be necessary to remove the
houses from the south end of the
fertilization before they can be
tested, as shock from a single dis
charge would shatter the building;
it will also be necessary to remove
the lighthouse, which has for
many years stood on the southern

Defender Matter Postponed.

New YORK, Dee. 2l.-The in
vestigation by the New York
Yacht club into the charge made
by Lord Dunraven has been post
poned till Friday, December 81.
A conference that was supposed
to be accidental, was however
held between Commodor Edward
NJ. Brown, Secretary j. s. Oddie
and A. Cass Garfield, for the pur-
pose of preparing for the reception
of Lord Dunraven and consider
ing the official report Of the Ameri-
can cup committee. They met in
the Model room at the New York
Yacht club. Latham B. Fish met
James B. Herreshoff OF Bristol, at
the Hotel Waldorf and had long
talk with him about the same
matter. Captain Herreshoff should
not give particulars OF the inter
view, but said: GAIL 1 care to
say at present is, that while Mr..
Iselin may have been little
emphatic in his remarks about
Dunraven, it is altogether pro-
bable that any other yachtsman
would express himself in just as
strong terms had he been accused
in the same way"

hOWeV0r,
LONDON, Dec. Dec. 21.--Public
attention here is almost entirely
diverted from the political to the
financial aspect OF the Venezuelan
question.
A rumor that Rothschild had
decided to Immediately withdraw
f5,000,000 from America is attract
ing great attention. Baron Roths-
child denies this and also that any
negotiations were pending for an
American loan.
Morgan, Brown and Shipley,
Merten and Rose and other bank
ing houses connected with the
United States regard the situation
as more favorable.
The political question is now
laid at rest by the authorization of
the commission Of sensible men
who will have time to make their
Investigations.
The head of one big financial
house whose influence is felt in
every great financial transaction,
says: of European investors take
everything seriously, there is no
knowing where the decline will
stop, but the outlook is more
favorable today. After all, the
merchants and bankers must make
their influence felt, and we have
indications that the really seriOns
business men of America are anX-
ious to undo the harm the jingOes
have wrought"

Silver and Prices.

a Western man writes to the New
York Herald that an Alabama mechan-
ic recently gave him something to think
about in connection with the silver
question. 1t seems that the tourist put
this question to the Alabamian:
What is the difference TO you if we
have the single gold standard? The
prices Of all the staple commodities
needed by you are reduced in price in
proportion to the reduction in the vol
ume of primary money, the measure Of
values. Cutting silver out has reduced
the price of flour here to $3.50 per bar
rel, and here, where 1t is raised, you
can buy cotton at 8 cents per pound.
These are the chief staples you re-
Quire for food and clothing.
In reply the mechanic gave his views
as follows:
When flour was from $40 to $14 per
barrel and cotton worth from 10 to II
cents per pound always had plenty of
money with which to buy flour and
clothing; now ii is difficult for me to
raise sufficient to buy n barrel of flour
when needed, and l have to so short on

clothing. When prices were high money
was plenty and everybody was con-
stantiy employed at gooA wages. Now
employment is very uncertain. Me-
chanics not altogether cut off from
work do not have steady employment,
and they find it difficult to secure the
bare necesSaries of life
The manufacturers and agriculturists
who favor the reduction of the life
blood of commerce, real money, to the
smallest volume possible, are cutting

ing. III proportion. the consumption of
their products, and the same may be
said Of the mercantile class, who have
the handling of these products.

chanic is more than half right Tn

Silver and Prosperity.

The improvement in business report
ed from various portions of the coun-
try has had its natural effect in lead
ing to increase of wages in many fac
tories and mills. but this increase Is
still far short of making up the rcduc-
tons of the past two years. AS the
prospect for the reinstatement Of sill
yer to its historic place continues to
improve, business keeps pace with it
step by step. The claim has been made
by goldbug organs that better times
will kill the agitation for free coinage.
They are mistaken, for the masses of
the people we'll understand that to the
agitation is due the more buOyant tone
manifested in the business world.
Could the announcement be made to-
morrow that free coinage Of silver will
never be established there would be an
immediate collapse, and within six
months we would probably witness an
other financial crisis as disastrous to
the country as that of 1893. If silver
sentiment continues to advance with
the giant strides that have marked its
progress during six months we shall
see measurable rise toward prosper
i.y even before free coinage law can
be actually enacted.
