bury's ConcillatOry Reply.
CHICAGO, Nov. ga Washington
special to the Times Herald says: The
President and Secretary Olney do not
expect the reply of the British govern
ment to Americas representations con-
corning the Venezuela boundary dispute
and the Monroe doctrine in time to ad-
NIT of its treatment in the presidents
annual message. 1t is understood the
British cabinet is now at work upon the
reply, but the meeting of congress ls
now so near that it is not likely to be
received before the first day of
the session. When it comes
it will be made the subject of a special
message to congress. There are good
reasons for the belief that Salisbury's re-
ply will be of conciliatory nature,
either admitting the boundary dispute to
arbitration, and thus recognizing the ap-
plicabilitv of the Monroe doctrine, or
preparing the way for such addition
later on. So far as Great Britain's re-
ported ultimatum to Venezula is con-
cerned, the state department believes no
such uitimatum was ever sent.

A WeH-DTesssd Drunken Man on Smoky

Bowers was ashamed of his
drunken condition at the city prison last
night, "How did you get in here?"

walked me down." he whispered through
the grated door. lie told the officer his
name in the same awe struck, frig htened

that the other prisoners would find out
who he was.
There was a strange thing about Bow

Smoky Row, was we'll dressed, and this

long on the Row before he was ar
rested. They don't allow drunken peo-
pie to wander around with money in
their clothes down there, not if they
know it.

A DETERMINED GOVERNOR
That there will be no prize fight
upon the soil of Texas, is due en-
tirely to the courage and determi
nation of Gov. Culberson. Hay
ing announced his purpose to pre-
vent the "milP between Corbett
and Fitzsimmons taking place at
Dallas, the sporting fraternity
sought the intervention of the ju-
dietary, with the result of a decis.
ion adverse to the Governor.
Nothing daunted, he issued a pro-
clamation converting the Texas
Legislature in extraordinary ses.
sion and in less than three days
after it's convocation, al anti.prize
fight law had been passed and re-
ceived the signature of the Execu-
tive. OF course, the sports and
the people of Dallas denounce the
Governor, but he will receive the
plaudits of the moral element, not
only of Texas, but of the entire
Union" The cost of the extra ses-
sion is trivial in comparison with
the great and lasting good, which
has been accomplished through the
efforts of one man.

Mrs. MAVERICK SHOULD BE
PARDONED.

There is no case in the annals of
neutrality-suspicious. which ought
to appeal more strongly to the
sympathies of the American PEG
pie, than that of Mrs. Florence E.
Maybrick, now serving a sentence
of penal servitude for life in WOk.
ing prison, England, for the al
legged murder of her husband by the
administration of poison.
A Southern woman, of wealth,
culture, education and refinement,
tenderly nnrtured and cared for,
with all that afflueuce could com.
mand, cruelty torn from the socie.
ty of her mother, child and friends,
dead to the outside world, az it
were, she now languishes and has
for six longjyears, in a felon's cell,
daily compelled to have more or
less intercourse with thieves, cut
threats and the lowest scum OF
the criminal element. Convicted
upon the charge to the jury of a
presiding Judge, himself a mono
maniac upon the subject of poison
ing and since "gathered to his fla.
thers," the action of the Secretary
having jurisdiction of the case i'll
subsequently committing the deatl,
penalty to Imprisonment for life,
shows that there existed in his
mind grave doubts as to the cor
rectness of the verdict. We did
not believe at the time Of the trial,
nor have We since, that Mrs. May.
brick poisoned her husband. 1t
was shown upon the trial that he
was an habitual arsenic eater,
which accounted for the presence
of the poison found in his sto.
mach when subjected to a chemi.
cal analysis. Even if the evidence
had been sufficient to warrant q
conviction, which nobody believes.
this cruelty tortured woman has
already suffered the tantalizing
torments of uades itself and ought
to be released from this WORSE
than living death.
The people of the United States:
the ladies especially, ought to con
tinue to interest themselves in the
case of this unfortunate woman
whose fortune has already been
dissipated in the long and unsuc
~cessful struggle to establish hel
innocence - by liberal contlibu
tons, rs we'll as by appeal to hel
Majesty, Queen Victoria, for tht
interpositiou of tho Queenly pre-
