You can get anything from the slowest

always shoe in accordance with the wish
OF the man who holds the ribbons, as he
is supposed to know what he wants.
Thanking the public in general for their
patronage we hope to merit a just and
fair share of it in the future as in the
past Also in connection with the
above is j. w. Wilkinson, a practical

Mexico City, Dec. 21.-Mex
lean public sentiment is now
beginning to manifest in regard
to the attitude assumed by the
United States in the Venezuelan
case and newspapers generally
take the ground of supporting
President Cleveland. 1t is con-
sidered that this message is an
echo that the continental senti-
ment is now stronger aud
stronger every year which has
expressed itself in the motto,
America is for Their Own
Inhabitants"
One paper declares that Eng
land must retreat before this
energetic manifestation of senti-
ment of the people of the new
world, for it is not merely
North American but all the
Americans who protest against
her Ubiquitous attempt to seize
the soil of Venezuela, imposing
her will by the tremendous
show of material force against
the weaker nation.
The principle which Cleve-
land has enunciated will find
an echo among all the inhabi-
tants of this hemisphere. Mon
roe doctrine is now the doctrine
of the entire continent. This
is a fair sample of public
opinion. Mexicans still resent
what they consider as Englands
unjust occupant of Belize which
Mexican historians and states
men have almost invaria bly,
held to be Mexican soil.
The press here has long OPP
posed the granting of Belize TO
England in any formal way,
but it has been recognized that
she could not be expelled by
force, and so the. policy of silent
protest has been adopted.

PLOT OF THE BRITISH.
London Financial ConspiracF

Globe Democrat.

Washington, D G., Derem-
Der 20.-The stress under which
the President sent his message
TO Congress late this afternoon
was much more serious than
the dispatches from Wall street
to day indicated The Admin
istration had received iifor-
nation of a purpose on the part
OF Great Britain to humble this
country by a blow at its credit
within the next few days. The
formal notices to day of gold to
ne withdrawn aggregated 81
100000. This, however, is
trifling compared with what the
British plot contemplated. The
Administration was informed
from sources deemed entirely
reliable that the plans had been
formed in London TO draw from
the Treasury $30,000,00O before
the end of the week and on the
remainder of the reserve before
the end of the first week in Jan
uary. Furthermore, the ADJ
ministration learned that the
British financlers, through
whom mainly the last issue of
bonds was placed, would not
accept another commission of
the kind. The evidences of a
financial conspiracy in London
to drain this country of its
gold aud to obstruct the efforts
to maintain the reserve by the
sale of bonds as heretofore
were of the most convincing
character to the President.
Twice during the day, as the
information unfolded the plan
of the enemy. the President
called the Cabinet together
something that has hardly
occurred before since war
times. And when at last
the situation was fully revealed
to him, the President, IN the
dusk Of evening, sent the aes
sage to the waiting Senate.

AMERICAN COAST

General Miles Points Out Our
Defenseless Condition.

! Washington, December 81
General Miles, commanding
the army, has given out state.
ment by request in regard &c
the ability OF the 5 49, the sts syssss
to defend in case of war. icy
said:
l have just returned from an
inspection of the harbors Of
the Southern coast, and, like
those of other sections of the
country, l find them in an en-
tirely defenseless condition. If
war should break out at the
present time all we have IN the
South, or, in fact, anywhere
else, with a few executions,
would be o lot of obsolete guns
on rotten carriages, which
would fall over before they
could be Of any service. The
country is in q deplorable con-
dition for defense. There ore
only three modern high power
ed guns in position in this
country; two of these are at the
entrance in New York habor,
and the third is at San Fran
cisco.
If congress would make lib
eral appropriations the coast
can be placed in condition for
defense in two years. time. The
work would cost in the neigh
borhood of sS0,000,O00. 1t
would take in the neighborhood
of year to manufacture the
tools necessary for the construc-
ton of the guns, and then an
other year for the manufacture
of the guns themselves.
There are four ways by which
the coast cities could be pro-
tected. The first is by floating
batteries-that is, by battle
ships and monitors; the second
way is by land batteries, which
could be quickly erected and
would be effective; the third
way is by torpedo and mining
encasement. With high power
in the guns, however, it would
be possible for an enemy to
land a force and explode the
mining easements, thus obviat
ing this danger for its fleet.
There is another way of pro-
tecting the harbors, bat that
involves destroying the COM
merce of the cities lying upon
them. The method is to load
vessels with stone, iron, etc,
and sink them in the channels.
This would naturally prevent
either ingress or egress, and
would destroy the cities COM

would bo tho Result IT Two stars should

Prof. Ledger, of London, whose Sc
ries of Gresham astronomy lectures on
''Knocks In Their Relation to Astron-
omy' has just been completed, in his
last discourse pointed out that the uni-
verse, instead OF being fixed, is alive
with motion, each star with its at
tendant planets hurrying through

ed by tho enormous velocity and vast
momentum of the two masses would be
such as TO pass human conception.
1t may be that the sun was formed
by the collision of two stars. The eff
feet of two such bodies attracting each
other and meeting would be to reduce
them to a violently agitated mass,
which would oscillate, first inward,
producing inconceivable heat, and then
outward again. ultimately assuming
the condition of the sun. The general
result would be that the two bodies,
would revolve around their common
center of gravity--that Is TO say,
around each other-creating a double
star. Lord Kelvin has calculated that,
IL twenty-nine million solid globes,
each OF the mass OF the moon, should
be scattered over spherical surface
one hundred times the radius of the
earth's orbit, they would come togcth-
err and be raised to temperature of
one hundred thousand degrees. They
would oscillate outward and inward,
reaching TO less distance each time,
and ultimately settling down to a
sphere.
Tho nebula we see around us, may,
Prof Ledger suggests, have been pro-
duced by the knocking together of two
great bodies rather than by tho aggre-
cation of many smaller ones. The
collision OF two huge suns would
thus lead TO rejuvenescence and tho
formation of new systems Phenom-
ena indicating that something very
much In the nature Of a collision had
occurred are the outbursts OF temporal
