CHICAGO. Dec. "a special dispatch to
the Times-Herald from its Washington cor
respondent says: War between the United
States and Great Britain is threatened. 1t
can be averted only by surren-
der, on the part of England. The
contention over the Monroe doctrine has
reached a stage which will produce the
gravest anxiety on both sides of the At
lantic until the facts become known. If the
American Congress will support the Presi-
dent, and OF this there can be no
doubt, Great Britain will soon be given
the choice of surrendering or fight
ing. Upon authority which cannot
be questioned. reads the dispatch,
IT is known that this government has re-
ceived a cablegram from ambassador Bay
ard giving briefly the contents OF the note
which the Marquis of Salisbury has mailed
in reply to Secretary Olney's dispatch of
last July. This reply is. in substance, a
refusal to arbitrate any OF the territory
eastward OF the Schomburg line. Moreover.
Lord Salisbury raises a case. He
now contends that the Schomburg line was
not arbitrarily run; that it was, in fact,
located on authentic data, and that it can
be proved by the records, the treaty de-
scriptions and the maps that it correctly
represents the western limits OF the terri
tory which Great Britain acquired by ces-
sion from Holland.
Receipt of this information caused some
excitment in the Washington government.
Secretary Olney at once proceeded to con-
fer with the President about 1t. They
agreed in their opinion concerning it, and
this opinion was that the British Premier
he me Of "a
ton; that he was attempting to evade and
delay direct response to the principal issue
involved. and to bring controversy be-
tween the two governments as to historical
records and typographical facts Such 1.
controversy. the President and Secretary
agreed, if once entered upon might run ali
indefinite length.
The programme which the President and
the Secretary now have in mind is first to
ascertain the wishes of Venezuela in the
premises If Venezuela is willing TO arbi-
trate on the Schomburg line, then the mis-

refused this. and 1t is not expected that she

at an early day for such action

DISPUTE OVER A BALL PLAYER.
President Brush Wanted Doyle, but
Did Not Get Him.

Did Not Get Him.
NEW YORK, Dec 5.-The World says:
President John T. Brush. of the Cincinnati
baseball club, has filed an affidavit with
President Young, of the National League.
to the effect tina President Freedman, of
the New York baseball club had given the
Cincinnati club option on the services of
Jack Doyle, and had then ruthlessly broken
the agreement in order to make a trade
with the Baltimore club for kid" Gleason.
This is bringing up again warm incident
of the recent meeting of magnates. Mr..
Freedman was very anxious to secure Artie
Latham for the New York team. He i'm
portuned Mr.. Brush to close the deal, but
the Cincinnati magnate declared that he
liked the third baseman too well to let him
go. He continually asked for further time.
Shortly after, however, the Baltimore club
came to Mr.. Freedman with the offer of
Kid Gleason for Doyle, and the trade
instantly closed az Mr. Freedman in no
way considered himself bound to Mr.. Brush.
1t was not long after these negotiations had
closed that Mr.. Brush told Mr.. Freedman
he would give up Latham. Whereupon he
was told by Mr.. Freedman that he was too
late, because ne had already secured Glea-
son. But you gave me an option until to-
IL did not do anything Of the kind re-
sponded Mr.. Freedman.
Mr.. Brush has since traded Latham to
st. Louis and just what he means by his
communication to President Young at this
late day is not quite clear.
