GRESHAM CONCERNED.
VENEZUELA PROBLEM IS AGITAT-
ING HIM.
Alarming, and America May Yet
Be Mixed Up in the Troubles.

Washington, April 1.-The secretary of
state is very much concerned these days
by the Venezuelan problem. The British
ultimatum delivered to Nicaragua is not
a source of political apprehension, for
it is not now believed that the British
will take action in the way of acquiring
territory in that direction or to jeopradize
the property of Americans in Nicaragua
by bombardment in their efforts to
collect the indemnity demand from Mic
aragua- These are the two moves that
might cause the United States 10 inter
fere, but in the case of the Venezuelan
boundary dispute there is much graver
cause for apprehension. 1T appears that
our ambassador. Mr.. Bayard, has not
succeeded in. inducing the British gov
eminent to give heed to the request sub
mitted by HIM at the. direction of Con-
greSS that the boundary dispute be sub
mitted to arbitra tion.f The British are
profuse in their declaration of q willing
ness to arbitrate the title to the land west
OF the Schoomberg line, but in the view
OF the state department. is pure evasion
of the real issue, for there never has been
any reasonable assumption of British
right TO this territory and it is territory
lying east of this line tl1Sf forms the SUBJ
stance OF the contention. The situation is
believed to be alarming as armed bodies
OF British and Venezuelans are pressing
each other closely in the disputed terri
tory and there may be a hostile clash
at any moment.
= The administration has been consider
ing the course to be pursued in such case,
and it is entirely probable that if the
British persist in bringing about such
collision, their failure to heed the re-
peated warnings and requests of the
United States to. submit the matter to
arbitration, the United States will feel
obliged to follow the moral aid it has
given to Venezuela in this matter nv

Carrollton, Mo-, April $50 great is
the hostility to the Taylors through
out this section that there was serious
discussions among the friends OF law
and order today of the advisability of
sending the two men to the Kansas
City Jail for protection and safe keep
ing.
Morton Jordan, assistant attorney
general of the state arrived here to-
day, and the rumor spread that he mad
been sent by Governor Stone to learn
the state of feeling here and see if it
would be advisable to send the state
militia to protect the Taylors. Mr..
Jordan declared, however, that he had
come TO visit friends. to watch the
local election tomorrow and to hear the
arguments in tine Taylor trial. Asked
if he thought the Taylors were in dan
ger from a mob, Mr.. Jordan said:
II think not because the jury probably
will convict on the evidence. If there
is a hung jury, however. there will
doubtless be much bitter feeling and
no one can predict the result should
there be a verdict of acq,littal"
When court opened today, the law
years on each side read the instruc-
tons of the court to the jury, after
which the arguments were begun.
The arguments will close and the
case be given to the jury some time
tomorrow afternoon.
Although the defense is sanguine
that a hung trial. will result, the gen
eral opinion expressed is that a YER
dict of murder in the first degree will
be finally rendered.

and twelve members of st. Paurs
Catholic church were arrested tonight
charged with burning that church
building last week. The first warrant
was served on Priest Karminski. AT
the time of arrest he was in his room
at his hotel He seemed to be consider
ably surprised, but had no objection to
going to Jail. 1t is alleged that there
are a large number of witnesses who
will swear that the fire was first seen
by them in the upper part of the build
ing and that the lower part was en-
tirely free from fire. This is consid-
cred a strong point, showing that the
fire was started by men who were in
the building. All the arrested men are
those known to have been in the build
ing on watch on the night that the
church was burned.
