England md XeneHneIn.

1t is understood in governmental circles,
both in this country and in England, tina
the British government has sent an ultima
tum to Venezuela, demanding reparation
for the arrest Of policemen at Uruan, and
stating the terms upon which she will set
tie the boundary dispute. The ground up
on which Great Britain bases her interfer-
ence in the affairs of Venezuela has already
been stated in our columns. In 1910, af-
ter it was learned that the country was ric h
in silver and gold, Great Britain set up an
arbitrary claim to an immense tract of
Venezuelan territory under a survey made
by Sir Robert Schomburgk, sent over for
that purpose. The line was so run as to
give Great Britain control of the mouth of
the Orinoco, with commercial control of
three South American republics, and was
established without the consent of Ven
ezuela or any other country. The arrests
in question were made on this disputed
territory and it is the apparent purpose of
the British government to use the incident
to compel Venezuela to concede its terri
torial claims. 1t is understood that some
two months ago, acting in view of these
complications, Secretary Olney sent to the
court of St. James a diplomatic note de-
fining the position of the United States with
regard to the Monroe doctrine. 1t is be-
lieved by many in diplomatic circles that
Great Britain's latest move has been tax en-
to test the sincerity of this declaration and
to find out how much determination lies
back of it, or, as one of the dispatches says,
''to force the hand of the United States"
According to the latest accounts the Brit
ish ultimatum is so phrased as to include
only demand for reparation for the ar
rest and imprisonment oftwo British in e
spectors at Uruan, the claim being that
their arrest was illegal, regardless of
whether they were on British or Venez-
uelan soil. If so it is a cunning diplomatic
attempt to gain point by raising second
airy question which is claimed to be en-
tirely separate from the boundary question,
and thus, apparently, to ''try on the
United States to this extent.

Silver Coinage to be stopped.

The announcement comes from Wash
ington that Secretary Carlisle has ordered
all silver coinage, except that of subsidiary
silver, to be suspended after Nov. /. The
total coinage of silver under all acts
amounts to S423, 2S9, 300.
The treasury now holds of silver bullion
purchased under the 'Sherman act" 137,-
644, 900 fine ounces, the cost of which was
S124, 4,0S0,323; the coming value of this
bullion in silver dollars is S177 604, 900.
If this bullion were coined into silver dol
lars th brofit to the government on its
coinage would be nearly S54 900, 900, which
sum could be paid out for the ordinary ex-
penses of the government or against which
silver certificates could be issued.
The practical effect of the action taken
by Secretary Carlisle is to convert all the
silver bullion held by the government into
gold obligations, and to put this country
squarely on to a gold basis. The closing
of the New Orleans mint leaves only the
United States mint at Philadelphia and
San Francisco in operation. At these
mints only gold and subsidiary silver will
hereafter be coined, unless Congress should
direct to the contrary and its action should
be approved by the President.

A despatch from Constantinople an
nounces that the 'unspeakaOle Turk" has
finally agreed to scheme for reform in
Armenia which will secure the people of
those provinces protection against Turkish
rapine and assassination. Either the gov
ernor or the vice governor of each of the
Armenian provinces is to be Christian,
his appointment to be confirmed by the
powers; local officials are to collect taxes,
out of which the expenses of local admins
tration must first be paid; the judicial sys-
TEN is to be thoroughly overhauled, torture
is to be abolished, the police force is to be
made up equally of adherents of Christian
ity and Islamism and the laws against
compulsory conversion to the religion of
Mahomet are to be strictly enforced. The
execution of this scheme is to be intrusted
to a high commissioner who shall be a
Christian. This reads well and would
seem to be sufficient and effective, but it is

The Largest Land Owners in the World.

In 1S48 two young Germans, sons of re-
cent emigrants, were at work in the vicin-
ity of San Francisco for small wages, the
one as a cowboy, the other driving butch
er wagon. One was Henry Miller, the
other Chas. Lux, and between them they
had money and credit enough to buy 1000
head of cattle, and hire pasturage for sea-
son, and they Joined forces and did so,
agreeing to share all profits and losses
equally. From that time until Lux died, a
year or two ago, the partnership continued,
and at its close left the partners controlling
more land than any other private citizens
in the world, according to the claims put
forth in California. Including what the
firm of Miller & Lux held ON leases, which
was small part of the whole, these two
men controlled the enormous area of a.
500, 900 acres, or more than 2a times the
area of Massachusetts, and owned cattle
almost uncountable. One of the tracts
owned by this firm is in Nevada, and is 100
miles long by go wide, another ranch is in
Santa Clara county, CAL, and is 80 by 49
miles, while a third is 40 by 3S miles. Many
of these ranches are irrigated by expensive
systems of canals and reservoirs, and the
value of them all is well up in the millions,
to say nothing of the value of the cattle,
and the other property of the partners.
Taken altogether, the possessions OF Mil
Ter and the heirs of Lux make them among
the wealthiest people in the land, unless
the lawyers get too much of these fruits of
Al years of hard work and frugallty, for
there is a dispute over the settlement of
the Lux estate.-SprinUieLd Republican.

The Venerable Ohio senator Unburdens
His Mind with RegREd to His own
Disapp and Calls II. G.
Plstt the Arch Traitor of the Repub-
lican Party.
A despatch from Mansfield, Ohio, dated
Thursday, says: Senator Sherman was
asked last night if he was a candidate for
the presidential nomination. Before the
question was finished, he had answered it.
He emphatically replied mo" He was
then asked whom the Republicans would
probably nominate, and said Mckinley. He
gave many reasons why McKinley's nomi-
nation would be the most logical thing his
party could do, and added: "The Republi-
cans usually do sensible things. The party
has erred in the past. 1t may do so again,
but, mark you, it will never listen to the
voice of Tom Platt in its council chambers.
Platt is the Judas Iscariot of the Republi-
can party. Platt's alleged friendship for
| Governor Morton makes the governors
nomination absolutely impossible. Even if
Morton had his enmity, he could not secure
the nomination. Morton is a well-balanced
and highly honorable man, but he is too
old. The Republicans will be an aggressive
party next year, anu seriously uOuDJ II
Morton really seeks the nomination. He
knows, as well as do, that he is too old.

hope for almost a quarter of a century.

name will be Mckinley"

were largely due to the long-drawn- out tar
iff contention.
"The history of our tariffs, their unsat-
isfactory character, their radical differences
of policies, the disturbing effects so-called
revision has always had, and the enormous
losses it has inflicted upon business, sug-
gest and demand that the tariff should be
taken out of politics and that permanent,
non-partisan tariff commission should be
created upon whom would be imposed the
duty of recommending and formulating
revision. Congress could do no WISER bet
ter more profitable thing for the whole
country than to create at the coming ses-
sion such commission"
This is a strong presentation of the case,
and will at least arouse serious thought
upon an important subject.

capes, fur capes, jackets, silk
waists, separate skirts, suits,
dress fabrics, etc.
Women and misses who
need outside garments will
find my assortment at its best
about this time. There is just
as much difference in cloak
makers as in individual tailors
or dressmakers as to one be-
ing able, somehow, to turn out
a garment which has more
"style" than another. l try
to get the best style and fit in

the price a reasonable one.

government from its reserve force for

as showing the strength which the home

nual dinner of the Republican club of Mas
sachusetts at Music Hall Wednesday even

spects, and the speeches placed Hon.
Thomas B. Reed before our country in a
light that will greatly increase his chances
of being selected as the Republican stand
ard-bearer next year. Mr.. Reed starts
with vote in his favor, which will be sub
stantially solid, of the New England states,
and he has advocates wherever in our
country independence, pluck and construc-
tive faculties are considered an absolute
necessity for a public man.
