John Sherman Says He Has Away
Approved the Financial Policy of
Cleveland and Carlisle.

Massillon, Ohio, October Ex-senator
John Sherman spoke here tonight. In
the coure of his speech he said:
Il have, with the great body of Re
pubhcans, approved the action of Pres
ident Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
in their opposition to the free coinage
of silver and their firm maintenance Of
gold and silver coin at par with each
other. The President has always been
sound and consistent on this policy
regret to say that in reference TO our
national currency, and especially to
United States nCJes, they seem TO be all
at sea
Senator Sherman believes the incOm-
ing Republican Congress Will provide
additional taxes or duties to meet de-
fciencies, preserve the gold reserve and
maintain at par with gold all forms Of
mo0ey. He is in favor of reducing eX-
penditures. but not a radical change in
Internal taxes or customs duties.

rupted by the present administration -

tum.

Washington, October 19-The official
statement from the Venezuelan foreign
office covers the policy of Venezuela in
case the British attempt to build the
military road recommended by British
Minister Chamberlain in his letter TO
Governor Lees, of British Guinea. The
Venezuelan statement closes with the
significant sentence that on the ques-
tion of building this road the course OF
Venezuela has been such that the in
vading neighbors cannot make an
other step further on the Venezuelan
side of the line without at once provok-
ing a collision"
AT the British legation it is stated
with positiveness that no advices have
been received concerning Venezuela,
and that Sir Julian Pauncefote had
taken no action whatever on the sub
ject. This is emphasized by embassy
officials. Sir Julian called at the State
Department yesterday, but the Vene-
zuelan subject was not referred to, as
the London authorities, it is declared,
are not conducting any branch OF the
negotiations through the embassy here.
The Venezuelan>legation received its
first news of the ultimatum from the
Associated Press cables. The fact that
Minister Andrade has not been advised
from Venezuela indicates that the ulti-
matum is still en- route and has not
reached Caracas.
President Crespo is at present at
summer resort, and the vice president
is acting as president. The Venezuelan
Congress will not convene until next
February. 1t happens also that a cabi-
net complication occurred ten days ago.
Four of the cabinet, including DR.. Pu-
lido, Minister of Foreign Affairs, re-
signed, and President Crespo has not
yet named their successors.

SURPRISED
At Senator Sherman'S Conservatism
in Handling Garfield and the Con-
ventiOn of 1880.

Cincinnati, Ohio, October 19.-Hon.
Warner NJ. Bateman, who was one Of
the delegates at large to the National
Republican convention in 1880 from
Ohio, and who has been a close friend
of Senator Sherman in all of the lat
ter's contests for the Presidential nom
ination, returned from Boston to-day.
Mr. Bateman said that he had read the
review of Senator Sherman's book in
the papers to-day. He has been in
communication with Senator Sherman
during the writing of the book, and is
indeed impressed with the conservative
reference to the national convent.On at
which Senator Sherman was defeated,
and especially the mild language COW
ering the convention of 1880, at which
General Garfield was nominated. Mr..
Bateman was the manager of Senator
Sherman's interest for a year or more
prior to the convention of 1880, and for
that reason refused to be interviewed.
1t is evident from his reasons for
not submitting TO a formal interview
that he has evidence of General Car
fields course prior to that assemblage
of the convention in 1880, which show
that the General was then active in
his own interests instead of the inter-
ests of Senator Sherman, to whom he
was pledged personally as well as by
the instructions of the Ohio Republican
convention. 1t is stated that letters
are still in existence in which General
Garfield, before going to the convention,
wrote earnestly to those who were
working for his nomination. In one
letter, General Garfield asked a distin-
guished Republican of Pennsylvania
whether the latter thought it would
hurt the formers prospects for Gen
eral Garfield to go to the Chicago con-
vention as the head of the Sherman
forces. The Pensylvanian advised
him to go to the convention, present
Senator Sherman's name, and lead in
the fight against Conkling's plan for the
INIT rule etc

,lon, returning with his wife and

abroad. His trip included a tour Of

Mr.. Hamlin talked in an entertaining
manner regarding many interesting
points of information he had gathered
during his absence in foreign parts He
said.
"All indications point toward a

tlciporing such on outcome of the
strained relations between the two
countries Germany is openly prep2r-
ing for the conflict. which she regards
as inevitable, and France is also get
ting ready. Indications Of approaching
war are seen all through the German
Empire, and the people discuss little
else apparently The German army is
i'm excellent condition. The preclplta-
tiOn of q war between the two cOun-
tries is likely to stir up all Europe, as
1t vii, probably draw several other
countries into the conflict. France in
preCipitating the war viii most likely
call upon Russia 10 aid her, in which
event Germany viii secure the assist
ance of Austria and Italy, and the COM
bined forces or the three last named
countries would prove more than a
match for France and Russia.
