House Bill Appropriating 100000 Co
Defray the Expenses OF tho Venezuelan
boundary Commission Debated In the
senate-Alt support thel President
But Those Who Spoke Did Not Think
There Would Be War.

WASHINGTON. Dec 10 Tho spirit of
Americanism still breeded over the
Senate to-day, but, although every
Senator who spoke upon the subject of
Great Britain and the Venezuelan
boundary dispute, endorsed the position
OF the President, oil expressed the opin-
ion that war would not result Sill
the gravity of the situation was not
underestimated. The question of the
last few days attracted 10 the galleries
large crowds, who followed the debate
with intenae interest.
The immediate question before the
Senate WAS tho House bill. appropriate
Ing 100000 to defray the expenses of
the commission called for by the Psesi-
dent. There was some difference of
opinion as to what disposition should be
made OF II, tho general opinion being
that 1t should go to the committee ON
foreign relations. Senator Voorhees,,
however, was for the passing Of the bill
Immediately.
Mr. Morgan, chairman of the commit
tee on foreign relations, favored the
consideration OF the bill by his com
mittee, but with the understanding that
1t should be reported back and acted
upon by the Senate before the holiday
recess.
Mr.. Lodge thought It could be made
BY April He believed that all She in
formation could be obtained ana that 1t
might be necessary to go to Madrid and
the Hague for certain documents. Mr..
Sherman, OF Ohio, and Mr.. Teller, or
Colorado, both of whom applauded the
Presidents course, did not aee the
necessity for haste. Mr.. Teller even de-
claring that 1t Mastered not If the bill
was NOT reported for month. He did
not think tho delay would BIO misinter-
| preted.
The whole spirls of tho debate WAS
thst the question OF politics was not
involved, Mr.. Lodge spurning all in-
| situations to that effect, in tho words of
Daniel Webster, that party feeling
| stopped at the waters edge
Tho debate had no practical result, az
Mr.. Allen, Of Nebraska, a Populist,
| objected to the second reading of the
bill. AS the bill could not be referred
until 1t had passed the parliamentary
stage, further progress was impossible
while MIR. Allen remained ohdurate.
Mr. Allen based his objection on the
ground OF his opposition to prscIpisate
| action. The matter, therefore, went
| over until tomorrow.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
London Papers Say tho Situation is More
seriods Than They Thought,

LONDON, Dec. 19.ZIn commenting TO-
day upon the Venezuelan question the
newspapers generally say me subject is
much moro serious than they Thought
1t TO be yesterday. In the public mind
also there is 4 general feeling Of disap.
pointment OF the action of Congress in
supporting the stand tsken by President
cleveland in his message to that body.
The stock exchange here and the ex-
oaanges throughout the country con-
tinue under the influence of the diff
Guilty which has arisen between Great
Britain and the United States. At the
same time there is no excitement.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Of
course, whatever happena America will
lose credit over the affair. II 10 parti-
cnlarly inopportune when many Of her
railways need money"
The afternoon newspapers all contain
long editorial articles on the Venezuelan
question. All agree that the matter Is
becoming grave. The Globe. q high
conservative organ and newspaper
which may be supposed to be on terms
ofintimary with the governments, gives
warning that Great Britain will remain
firm, Saying: president Cleveland
may appoint dczsn commissions, but
England will remain firm In her refusal
to recognize any Jurisdiction of this sort.
This IL our unsltersble position, be the
consequence what they way. We will
never aubmitto such uup arslleled diots-
ton"
The Globe Is also irate at the recent
utteranoes OF DR.. OhsuDcey Nj. Depew,
especially his references to the oasy
manner in, which the United States
could conquer Canada, remsrking: 1.-THE
overwhelming naval strength of Eng
land would enable her to pour troops
into Canada at any sign of danger, and
small warships could be sent to the
lakes and Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo
would be utterly Mt their mercy"

Known Throughout Virginia.:

HoBBIE Music Co., Roanoke, Va
GENTLEMEN: I have known and tuned
the Lindemah Piano for many years,
and regard 1t one of tho best first-cln ss,
high grade pianos made. In fact, the
Lindemnn uprights are strictly artistic
instruments and far superior to some of
the old celebrated makes, the manu-
facturers of which claim to be the best.
The Ltndeman, therefore, appeals to
all musicians, who must admire the
tone and touch, as we'll Ga the elegantly
finished cases.
Ills thoroughly we'll made of the best
material, hence absolutely durabls.
Very truly,

 ALBANY. Jan. l4.-The predictions that the present legislature is to be one of the most important that ever sat in state halls. and that it will have before it more pro posed legislation than any similar body for many years. seems about to be verified. This week. beginning with the session to- night, promises to be full of intereStin events. In the first place, some light will be shed upon the attitude of the commit teo of seventy, the Lexow committee and Republican majority toward each other. Plainly speaking. it will in a measure be seen whether Mir. Platt and the New York reform committee intend to cross swords or to combine in the reform movement.
 Tho great event of the week will he the presentation to tho senate of the report of the LeXow committee, together with the accompanying bills for the reorganization of tho police force of New York city. This interesting event is to occur on Thursday, and after tLe matter is presented Mir. Lex Ow will ask for the adoption of his resolu- tion to extend tho power of his committee to tho other city departments
