transmitting the correspondence be-
tween Secretary olRey and Lord Sails
bury relative to the Venezuelan boun-
dairy dispute created real sensation
In washington to-day. Although tho
nature Of Secretary olney's vigorous
communication and OF Lord sallsbury's
answers had been already accurately
told in the Associated Press dispatches
from Washington and London, there
was still great popular craving to
learn lust how the President would deal
with Lord Sallsbury'B refusal TO submit
the matter to arbitration and the mes
sage was listened 10 with the greatest
interest In Congress and was read with
AyIdity on the streets. Nowhere was
there voice lifted In dissent from the
doctrine SO frmly laid down by the
President, but. on the contrary, there
was an outburst OF patriotic feeling
that must have been highly gratifying
TO the chief executive.
In the diEnihed United States senate,
n body that rarely exhibits emotion on
any occasion, there was witnessed the
unparalleled spectacle OF hand-clap-
ping and applause which was the spon-
OF almost every senator. without regard
10 party. on the streets, the message
was discussed. and old veterans OF the
late war talked exultRntly OF what they
were prepared again to undertake at
the call OF their country. In the great
hall OF the pension building, the em-
ployes gathered and sang with gusto,
the star Spangled Banner" and My
Country, 'Tis OF tThee."
Evsrywherr Endorsed.
Al the white house messages poured
in from every quarter OF the country,
congratulatlng 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
document to Congress as TO AFFORD n
substantial tribute to the enterprise OF
the Associated Press in disseminating
30 quickly the important information
through the country and to the great
journals which II serves In Issuing e&-
ira editions for the -ru5ite. 5efIeftts--.,.
The matter Of course was CT the
greatest interest In diplomatic circles,
and the general impression on sober
second consideration OF the notes was
that the matter has not yet reached q
stage where war Is imminent, and that
the hint OF Great Britain's purpose TO
reopen enEotiations with Venezuela
looking to settlement OF the dispute be-
tween themselves, perhaps may be re-
garded as the indication OF how the
whole matter will end.
Minister Andrade. OF Venezuela, Sc
cured copy OF the message ealy IN the
day and cabled In by way OF Cuba and
Hnyti TO his government. The time OF
transmission Is eight hours, and 1t u
felt that its reception at Caracas VIII
be the signal for an enthusiastic DEM
onstration.
Surprising vIgor.
Mr.. Andrade's satisfaction was nl-
most beyond the power OF expression.
The message Is superb" said he. with
much enthusiasm. "it Is even q snr-
prise 10 me in It's vigor, ln the nobility
Of the sentiments expressed and In the
masterly exposition OF the Monroe doc
trine There can be no doubt or mis-
construction OF It's meaning. In my
country II cannot but arouse the Keen
est appreciation on the part OF the gov
eminent and the people for this power
iul expression OF friendship from
strong country in behalf OF comparn-
lively weak ono"
Mr. Andrade was asked what the next
step OF Venezuela would be.
There Is nothing further for us to
do. We have announced our policy,
and in that we have the cooperation
aud support OF the United States. We
arc little more than spectators now.
