GREAT DEMONSTRATION IN congress
Cleveland Asserts That He Is Fully
Alive to the Responsibility of the
Situation, But Come What Will,
England Must Not Impose
Upon the Little Folks.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE message of
President Cleveland to congress, trans
mitting the correspondence between
Secretary Olney and Lord Salisbury
relative to the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute created real sensation in Wash
ington today. Although the nature of
Secretary Olney's vigorous communica-
ton and Lord Salisburys answer had
been fairly accurately forecasted in the
Associated Press dispatches from Wash
ington and London, there was still a
great popular craving to learn just how
the president would deal with Lord
Saisbury's refusal to submit the matter
to arbitration, and the message was lis
tened to with interest in congress and
was read with avidity on the streets.
sent from the doctrine so firmly laid
down by the president, but, on the con-
trary, there was an outburst of patriotic
feeling that must have been highly graft
flying to the chief executive.
In the dignifed United States senate,
body that rarely exhibits emotion on
any occasion, there was witnessed the
unparalleled spectacle of hand-clapping
and applause, which was the spontaneous
expression of the approval of almost
every senator without regard to party.
On the streets the message was dis
tributed and old veterans of the late war
talked exultantly of what they were pre-
pared again to undertake at the call of
their country. In the hall of the pen
sion buildings veterans gathered and
sang with gusto ''The Star Spangled
Banner" and "My Country it's of Thee" :"
At the White House messages poured
in from every quarter of the country,
congratulating the president upon his
message. They came from men of all
parties and stations, and they began to
come in SO soon after the delivery of the
documents to congress as to afford sub
stantial enterprise of the Associated
Press in disseminating so quickly the
important information through the coun-
try and to the great reading public.
The matter, of course, was of the great
est interest in the diplomatic circles, and
the impression, on a sober second con-
sideratiOn of the notes, was that the mat
ter had not reached a stage where war
is imminent, and the hint of Great Brit
aims purpose to reopen negotiations
with Venezuela looking to the settle
ment of the dispute between themselves
perhaps may be regarded as an indica-
tion of how the whole matter will end.
Minister Andrade of Venezuela Sc
cured copy of the message and cabled
it by way of Cuba and Hayti to his gov
ernment The time of transmission is
eight hours and it is felt that its recep-
ton at Caracas will be the signal for
an enthusiastic demonstration.
Minister Andrade's satisfaction with the
message was almost beyond expression.
''There can be no doubt" said he, 'or
misconstruction of the presidents mean
ing. In my country it can but arouse
the keenest appreciation on the part of

THE CORREsPONDENCE.

Accompanying the presidents message
is the correspondence on the subjects.
1t starts with Secretary Olney's now cele-
brated opening of negotiations with
Great Britain, bears date of July 20 last
and is addressed to Mr.. Bayard.
The secretary begins by stating that
the president has given much anxious
thought to the subject and has not ar
rived at a conviction without lively
sense of it's great Importance, as well as
of the serious responsibility, involved in
any action now to be taken.
He then comments on "the long dura-
ton of the boundary dispute" the "in-
definite" claims of British parties and
the continuous growth of underlined
British claims," the fate of the various
attempts at arbitration of the contro-
versy and the part in the matter hereto
fore taken by the United States. He
shows that the British claims since the
Schomberg line was run have moved the
frontier of Guiana faster and faster to
the line proposed by Lord Aberdeen in
1874.
The secretary then summarizes the
situation at the beginning of this year
to be as follows:
First-The title to territory is indefi-
mite. but confessedly very large extent
is in dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela.
Second-The disparity in strength Of
the parties is such that Venezuela can
hope to establish her claims only through
peaceful methods.
Third-The controversy has existed for
half a century, despite Venezuela's eff
forts to have it arbitrated.
Fourth--Venezuelans have for nearly

BIG LAREDO FAILuRE.

Laredo, Tex, Dec. 17.-(Speciai)-A
deed of trust was filed here today by
Mr.. e. Morris, one of the most prominent
merchants on the border and proprietor
of one of the largest dry goods estab-
lishments in this city. He also has even
a larger store of the same class in Corpus
Christi. The following is substantially
list of the property assigned to Isadore
Pollak of Corpus Christi, trustee:
Thirty-eight thousand and forty acres
of land and all improvements in Duval
county, numerous city lots and blocks
in Corpus Christi, 800 acres of land in
Webb county, 1440 acres of land in En-
cinal county, two-thirds of a league and
a quarter of land in Cameron county, a
lot and improvements in Rio Grande City
in Starr county, also the entire stock of
goods in the Corpus Christi store and
the stock in the Laredo store.
The total liabilities of preferred credi-
tors amounts to about S105,000. The
cash value of the assets is unknown.
The following is a list of preferred
creditors:
First-M. II. Onheimer, Laredo, $90S3;
H. B. Clafflin & Co., New York, $12,-
1880; H. B. Claffin & Co., New York,
1882. ID; Corpus Christi National bank,
$4,000; Bernheim. Bauer & Co.. New
York. $1164.s1; H. E. Luter, Corpus
Christi, $241.9S.
Second -McCampbell & Welch. Cor
pus Christi, S2000 David Hirsch, Cor
pus Christi, $10.15339; Isadore Pollak,
Corpus Christi, $10,692.56; H. B. Claff-
lin. New York, $41, ,130.55; Bernheimer
& Bauer, New York, S5694.64
Mr.. Isador Pollak of Corpus Christi is
named as trustee and if at the expiration
of six months enough money has not
been realized to pay the outstanding in
debtedness, he is to advertise and sell at
auction the remainder for the benefit of
tn creditors.
Mr.. Morris has been, in addition to
his mercantile business, engaged in
stock raising, and the drouth during the
| past five or six years has caused him to
lose so heavily that in order to secure his
creditors he has taken the above steps.

the government and the people for this
powerful expression of friendship from a
strong country in behalf of compara-
lively weak one"
Minister Andrade was asked what the
next step of Venezuela would be.
There is nothing further for us to do.
WehaYeannounced our policy and in that
we have the cooperation and support of
the United States we are little more than
spectators now."
rs the plan of commission to investi-
gate the question and fix the time FEAST
ble?' was asked the minister.
Perfectly so" responded he. "The ey-
idence can readily be furnished, so far
as Venezuela is concerned 1t will be
laborious work, as the documents and
maps are very voluminous and from many
sources, including those of Holland, Spain
and other countries as well as Venezu-
ela."
At the British embassy Sir Julian
Pauncefote and his extensive official corps
shared in the general interest in the ques-
ton. 1t was stated that the foreign of
flee made public at noon today the Sails
bury answer, simultaneously with its pub
hcation here, but as the presidents mes
sage is to congress and has not gone
through diplomatic channels, it was not
part of the matter given to the British
public by the foreign Office today. This
places the anatomy of each country inter-
esting itself with the phase of the ques-
tion most acceptable to itself, London lay
ing special stress on Salisbury's letter
and the United States being concerned
mainly with the presidents message.
Mr.. Bax Ironsides of the British staff
went to the capitol during the day to wit
ness the reading of the documents, but
was not present during the demonstration
in the senate Beyond the Salisbury let
ters, the embassy has reviewed no COM
munications on the Venezuelan question,
so the case rests ON the correspondence
submitted today.

THE MESSAGE.

Washington, Dec. Ito the con-
gress-In my annual message addressed
to congress on the 3rd, called attention
to the pending boundary controversy be-
tween Great Britain and the republic of
Venezuela and recited the substance of a
representation made by this government
to her Britanic majesty's government,
suggesting reasons why such dispute
should be submitted to arbitration for
settlement, and inquiring whether the
answer of the British government which
was then awaited, has since been received
together with the dispatch which is here
to appended.

CAUGHT IN ATLANTA.

San Antonio, Dec. 17.-(Special.)-
Sheriff Cambell received telegram from
Chief of Police Connolly of Atlanta today
stating that he has W. e. Miller under
arrest. Miller is wanted here to answer
the charge of forgery. A deputy sheriff
left tonight for Austin to secure requisi-
ton papers and from there he will go to
Atlanta after Miller. Miller was an in
surance agent here and left the CITY very
suddenly about two weeks ago.

any adequate authority in the code of
international law"
Again he says:
They (her majesty's government fully
concur with the view which President
Monroe apparently entertained that any
disturbance of the existing territorial dis
tribution in that hemisphere by any
fresh acquisition on the part of any
European state would be a highly mex
pedient change"
In the belief that the doctrine for
which we contend was clear and defn-
lte that it was founded upon substantial
considerations and involves our safety
and welfare, that it was fully apnlicable
to our present conditions and to the state
OF the worlds progress and that it was
directly related to the pending controver-
sy ana without any conviction as to the
hnal merits of the dispute, but anxious
TO learn in n satisfactory and conclusive
manner whether Great Britain sought
under claim of boundary to extend her
possessions on this continent without rel
ative, or whether she merely sought
possession of territory fairly included
within her lines of ownership, this gov
ernment proposed to the government of
Great Britain n resort to arbitration as
the proper means of settling the ques-
tion, to the end that more yexatious
boundary disputes between the two coun-
tries might be determined and our exact
standing and relation in regard to the
controversy might be made clear.
1t will be seen from the correspondence
herewith submitted that this proposition
has been denied by the British govern
ment on the grounds which, under the
circumstances, seem to me to be far
from satisfactory.
1t is deeply disappointing that such an
appeal, actuated by the most friendly
feelings towards both Nations directly
concerned. addressed to the sense of JUS
tice and to the magnanimity of one of
the greatest powers and touching its re-
lation to one comparatively weak and
small. should have produced no better
results.

ing the skull, he died shortly afterward.

WHAT is TO BE DONE.

The course to be pursued by this gov
ernment in view of the present conditions
does not appear to admit of serious doubt
Having labored faithfully for many years
to induce Great Britain to submit this
dispute to impartial arbitration, and hav-
ing been now finally apprised of her re-
fusal to do so, nothing remains but to ac-
cept the situation, to recognize its plain
Represent and deal with it accordingly.
Great Britain's present proposition has
never thus far been regarded as admssi-
bic by Venezuela though any adjustment
of the boundary which that country may
deem for her advantage and may enter
into Of her own free will can not, of
course, be objected to by the United
States.
Assuming, however, that the attitude
of Venezuela will remain as at present,
the dispute has reached such state as
to make it now incumbent upon the Unit
ed States to take measures to determine
with sufficient certainty for its business,
what is the true divisional line between
the republic of Venezuela and British
Guiana. The inquiry to- that end should
of course, be conducted carefully and
just, and due weight should be given to
all applicable evidence.
Records and facts in support of the
claims of both parties should be prose-
cuted in thorough and satisfactory
manner. 1t is suggested that the con-
gress make adequate appropriation for
the expenses of commission, to be ap-
pointed by the executive, who shall make
the necessary investigation and report
upon the matter with the least possible
delay. When such report is made and
accepted it will, in my opinion, be the
duty of the United States to resist by
every means in its power, as a wilful ag-
gression on it's rights and interests, the
appropriation by Great Britain of any
lands or the exercise of governmental
jurisdiction over any territory which,
after investigation, we have determined
of right belongs to Venezuela. In MAX
ing these recommendations ! am fully
alive to the responsibility incurred and
keenly realize all the consequences that
may follow. / am very firm in my con-
viction that, while it is n grievous thing
to contemplate the two great English
speaking peoples of the world as being
otherwise than friendly in the march of
civilization and strenuous and worthy
rivals in all the arts of peace, there is
no calamity which a great Nation can
invite which equals that which allows n
supine submission to wrong and injustice
and the consequent loss of National self
respect and honor, beneath which is
shielded and defended a peoples safety
and greatness.
