LICK OBSERVATORY
TO BE PRESENTED WITH A RE-
FLECTING TELESCOPE.
Offer Made by an Amateur Astrono-
mer of England-Our Climatic
Conditions Recognized.
Special to the REcoRD-U MON.

Special to the RECORD-U MON.
SAN JOSE, April 4.-The director of the
LICK Observatory to-day received tele-
gram which announces that the Hon. Ed
ward Crossley, late member of Parlia-
ment for Halifax, England, proposes to
present to the Lick Observatory his great
three-foOt rejecting telescope, with its
dome and all its apparatus complete Mr..
Crossiey, himself an enthusiastic amateur
astronomer, makes no conditions 10 his
gift, except that his telescope, when SET
up at Mount Hamilton, shall be called the
Crossley reflector, and that the expenses
OF transporting the instrument and dome
from Engia land TO California shall be borne
by Americans.
The splendid instrument which Mr.
Crossley offers is well known to astrouo-
mers. II was made by a. A. Common of
London, and for the magnificent photo
graphs made with it Mr.. Common re-
ceived the gold medal of the Royal AS
Economical Society. 1t was then Dur-
chased by Mr.. Crossley and set up in his
private observatory at Halifax, England,
along with other instruments. An expe-
rlence OF some years has shown Mr.
CrOssley and his astronomer. Mr. GIeEi-
hill, that the climate Of England is not
good enough TO do justice TO this great
present Ii 10 an observatory which was
iayorably situated where il could be used
10 The fullest advantage. 1t is a great
compliment 10 the Lick Observatory that
Mr.. Crossley has selected 1t to receive his
GIT. ana II Is practical recognition of
the fact that California is the ideal climate
for making astronomical observations, as
has been fully shown by the experience
OF the past seven years.
The addition OF this great reflector to
the equipment OF Lick Observatory
which already possesses the great three
loot reiractor, makes the instrumental
outfit OF Mount Hamilton decidedly su-
perior to that of any observatory now
existing. lie refractor is eminently
suitable Tor certain kinds of work. There
are other kinds In which the reflector
! possesses distinct advantages AS ths
! LICK Observatory viii soon have a tele-
scope OF each kind established in most
favorable situation, IL will be admirably
nUed IN the future for every.kind OF
astronomical work.
Ii may De mentioned that the original
plan OF the Lick Observatory ,outern-
plated the installation of great reflector
( as Wen as a great reIractor. 1t was found
! lnaI the iunus lett by Mr.. Lick were not
adequate 10 provide both these instru-
menis, and the plan for making the re-
! hector was reluctantly abandoned The
gllt OF Mr.. Crossley comes 10 counplete
the equipment OF the observatory in the
/ most satisfactory manner.
! Inc cost OF dlsmounting the reflector
+ and dome in England and transnortinr
/ them to California (only the more inn
portant parts OF the frame work of the
] dome Will be required here, and oferect-
ing the complete apparatus at Mount
( hanhton' VIII be about 5000. This
sum must De raised by subscription in
i America before Mr.. Crossley's qenerons
/ offer can be definitely accepted.

Venezula's Government Will Not
Submit to DiShOn0r.
MAY RESORT TO FORCE IF ENGLAND
REFUSES ARBITRATION
The People so Firmly Impressed as to
Their Rights That They Would
Rather See the Country Go Out of
Existence Than Pass Into the
Practical Control of Foreign Hands.
SneciaI 70 the RECoRp-UNIoN.


WASHINGTON, April At is stated by
persons in a position to speak with
authority that as soon as Venezuela is
convinced that Great Britain has finally
decided not to arbitrate or settle the
boundary dispute, as suggested by the
United States through ambassador Bay
ard, the southern republic will regret
fully but resolutely resort to what she
regards as her only course-a resort to
force. 1t is declared that her people are
ready to see their homes and their cities
desolated and laid in ashes rather than to
submit to what they regard as national
dishonor.
1t is said that the contention with
Great Britain is not so much one of terri
tory as of sentiment So firmly impressed
have the people become with this that the
opinion is expressed that they would
rather see the country go out of existence
than pass into the practical control Of
foreign hands.
a strong feeling exists in the Nenezue-
Ian Government that the United States
will not stand idly by ii "a resort to force
is made. 1t is understood that the posi-
ton OF Great Britain in declining the
suggestion of the United States for the
settlement of the trouble with Venezuela
is substantially as follows:
Eirst-Great Britain takes the position
that the question of arbitration was once
before proposed by Venezuela. At that
time the Foreign Office gave the subject
most careful attention, and submitted a
reply embodying a proposition to arbi-
trate certain definite subjects OF contro-
yersy. To this proposition Venezuela
has never made a reply either accepting
or rejecting the proposed basis OF arbitra-
ton. Under the circumstances ii is not
desirable TO proceed to a second proposal
of arbitration when the first remains un-
answered.
Second-In any event, there are certain
portions of that territory to which Nene-
zuela lays claim which under no circum-
stances Will be made the subject OF arbi-
tration. as they are recognized portions of
the British domain, and are not, there
fore, subjects on which the aid of arbi-
traitors could be invoked.
Third-Ihe subject matter is one be-
tween Great Britain and Venezuela, so
that the good offices of the United States
are not regarded as essential TO a settle
ment, as ii is not understood that the
United states has assumed protectorate
over Venezuela or her interests, more
than that OF friendly Government

of an Army Officer.
DENVER, April A special to the
NeCS from El Paso, Texas, says: News
has just been received here of serious
trouble at the Mescalero Indian Agency
in New Mexico, one hundred miles north
OF this place. Communication is slow
and particulars meager, but the story is
as follows:
1t is reported that the Indians had re-
belled against the authority of Lieutenant
victor l.. Stottler, who is endeavoring to
compel them to perform some productive
labor and partly earn their own living,
and that one OF them assaulted him with
a stone.
AS the story goes, he placed the refrac-
tory Apache under arrest, and then the
Indians made rush, rescued the pris-
oner, drove the agent and his employees
into house and looted the agency store.
Inns news comes in private letter.
In addition, several MeXicans who live
on the border of the reservation assert
that Lieutenant Stottler is in danger, and
Is running serious rick in remaining at
the agency without the support Of troops.
Fort Stanton is about thirty miles
from the agency, and Stottler may pro-
cure the aid of the soldiers if necessary.
DR.. Howard Thompson OF this city,
whose father lives at the reservation,
thinks the danger at the agency has been
greatly exaggerated.
