LORD SALISBURY SOON TO MAKE
PUBLIC A NEW STATE
MENT.
ENGAGED IN PREPARING 1T.
HICKS-BEACH SAYS 1T WILL
FORESHADOW A PEACEFUL
SETTLEMENT.
THE POSSIBILITY OF A WAR.
Kinsmen, Declares Sir Michael,
Can Sometimes BE Very Bit
ter Enemies.

LONDON, Dec 19-Sir Michael
Hicks Beach, chancellor Of the ex-
ehequer, made an address tonight in
Bristol which contained an import
ant suggestion of the probable next
step to be taken by the British gov
ernment in the Venezuelan contro-
verSy, namely, the issuance of
statement by Lord Salisbury, which
Sir Michael intimated might put a
new face on affairs. The chancellor
warned his hearers against eXagger-
ating the gravity of the Venezuelan
trouble. But some persons he went
on to say, talk of the impossibility
of war between the United States
and Great Britain because of the ties
of kinship between the two nations.
Nothing was impossible, he asserted,
which had already occurred. and il
kinsmen unfortunately differed,
sometimes they became very bitter
enemies. But there were reassur-
ances in the fact that he did not
believe the people on either side of
the Atlantic desired war. He thought
that when the true statement. which
Lord Salisbury had about prepared,
was shortly published, the result
would be happy, honorable and
peaceful to both sides.
The financial article in the Times to-
morrow will predict that the evil effects
of President Cleveiands action in the
Venezuela matter on the financial po-
sition of America will be serious and
protracted, while the depletion CT the
treasury's gold will continue for a long
time.
The Westminster Gazette says: 1.-THE
Marquis of Salisbury has made a mis-
take in arguing that the Monroe doc
trine Is obsolete. II is not so by any
means 1t would most rigidly apply
should european powers attempt to
apply American doctrines to the Hin-
terland of Africa. The first duty of
those defending England is to explain
and insist that it is rot the doctrine it
self, but only it's applica bility to the
present question of boundaries, which
Is in dispute
The ST. James Gazette expresses the
opinion that. the speech of the United
Actors Benevolent fund last evening
was everything that could be friend-
~, passionately, pa thetieally friendly
to this country. But, the Ca

Is himself under a cloud as regards the
American public"
INJURIOUS TO SPINNERS.
A dispatch to the Press Association
from Manchester Gays that President
NIAGARA, Of the Federation Of Master
Cotton SpinnerS. said in an interview
that war between Great Britain and
the United States would entail incalcu-
liable loss and misery upon the Larca-
shire cotton workers, as five-siXthS of
the material necessary to feed the Lam
caShire spindleS comes from America.
The Globe, a high Conservative or
gan, and a newspaper which may be
supposed to be on terms of intimacy
with the government gives warning
that Great Britain will remain firm,
saying: President Cleveland may ap-
point a dozen commissions, but Eng
land will remain firm in her refusal to
recognize them and jurisdiction of this
sort. This is our unaltera BILE position
be the consequences what they may.
We will never submit to such unpar-
alleied dictation.''
The Globe is 1rate at the utterances;
of Chauncey M. Depew, especially his
references to the easy manner In which
the United States could conquer Can
ada, remarking: THE overwhelming
naval strength of England would en-
able her to pour troops into Canada at
any sign of danger, and small war;
ships could be sent to the lakes and
Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo would be
utterly at their mercy"
