WHY FIGHT Herr"
Livingston Gives the Lions Tail Vicious
Twist.

Washington, December Lord Sail
bury's reply to Secretary Olney's note.
in. which according to the Presidents
message, the British governments was
asked if it would arbitrate "in its en-.
tirety" the whole Venezuelan boundary
dispute is awaited by members of the
House who represent the advanced
American idea with deep interest,
Some of these gentlemen were this
morning discussing the probable tenor of
Lord Salisbury's letter and the suggestion
was advanced that Her Majesty's govern
ment would decline to arbitrate any part
of the territory in question which has
been occupied for years past by British
colonies.
This was predicted upon the declaration
made by the British ambassador, Sir
Julian Pauncefote, last spring that Great
Britain could no more arbitrate her con-
troll of the territory now claimed by her,
than she would arbitrate her sovereignty
of Essex and Sussex counties in England.
Representative Livingston of Georgia,
who introduced the joint resolution
yesterday, looking to the formation of q
Congressional committee to investigate
the boundary question, was asked today
what the United States ought to do il
Great Britain declines to arbitrate.
''Why fight her, of COURSE" was the
emphatic reply. ono other course will
comport with our dignity and self re.
spect Venezuela is not to be considered
in this matter. Great Britain has violated
the Monroe doctrine She is continually
acquiring additional territory in South
America. We cannot and must not per-
NIT this. We should go to war FIRST

project, five accept the proposition under
strict reservations, two stipulaJ e that the
exhibition shall be located on the left

PAYNE MAY LEAD.
Indications That He Will be Oh airman o.
the Ways and Means Committee

New York, December A Herald
special from Washington, says: Repre-
sentative Serene E. Payne of New York,
may yet Re chairman of the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means. Some of the
older parliamentary authorities in the
House think they SEQ signs in the pro-
ceedings of the last two days which indi
cate that Mr.. Reed, after having selected
Mr. Dingley, of Maine, for chairman of
the committee and leader of the House,
has changed, his mind in favor of Mr..
Payne. Certain it Is that Mr.. Payne has
taken the lead, and there is every indica-
tion that there is a perfect understanding
between him and Spea ker Reed that he
should do SO, and Mr.. Dingley thoroughly
Understands the agreement.
There are several routine motions
which must always be made on the first
day of session Of Congress, and which
are Invariably apportioned out among the
leaders of the majority by a previous I'm
made by the chairman of the caucus.
These were made on Monday by Mr..
Grosvenor. Others were made by Mr..
Dingley and Mr.. Dalzell, but the most
important of all-the motion to appoinS,a
committee to notify the President that
Congress was in session-was reserved for
Mr.. Payne, who was designated as chair
man of the committee. When the bust
ness of the day was over he exercised the
function of leader of the House by
moving the adjournment.
Mr.. Payne took the lead again today.
When the reading of the Presidents
message had been completed he moved its
reference. He then offered the motion
that when the House adjourn it be to
meet on Friday, and then moved the ad-
journment.
: Old members of the House say that
while these Indications do not make it
absolutely certain that Mr.. Payne Is to
be given the craftsmanship of tie com
mittee on ways and means, they have
little doubt that is it's meaning.
