THE SULTAN WAS ANGRY,
II Said Pasha Had Not Fled He Woull
Have Been Murdered.

II Said Pasha Had Not Fled He Would
Have Been Murdered.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-The Constantinople
correspondent of The Times says: In
declining the appointment of grand
vizier Said Pasha asked the sultan's
permission, on the ground Of bad
health, to retire and live quietly abroad.
This ranked in the sultan's mind and
induced a paroxyism of anger, and Said
Pasha, who is neither a novice nor a
coward, is persuaded. that the sultan
would have killed him had he entered
the Vildiz palace. The secret Of the
whole business is that Said Pasha is 80
popular and so highly esteemed that it
is feared that he might join the NAL
content party. He has always been re.
garded as the most anti English Of all
the official Pashss.

Lord Salisbury's Reply to Sec
rotary Olney Arrives in
: Washington.
Members of the House Discuss
the Position of the Ven-
eZuelan Affair.
England Is Pursuing a Policy
of Delay in This lmpor-
tant Matter.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Lord Sails
bury's reply to Secretary Olney's letter
requesting a final and definite state
ment of Great Britain's purposes con
corning Venezuela is in Washington,
having been delivered to Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador.
The answer was brought to Washing
ton by Donaldson, the special messenger
Of the embassy, who axes regular
trips to New York for purpose of
carrying the official m. to and from
Washington. Donaldson received the
reply from the stewards Of the steam
ship Britannia on which it arrived at
New York at 9 a. m. He left imme-
diately for Washington. The greatest
interest centers here as to the nature Of
the reply which Lord Salisbury has
made to the American secretary of
state. Ambassador Pauncefote said
that Lord Salisbury's letter would be
presented to Secretary Olney in the
morning.
An Evasive Answer.
There was a pretty general discussion
of Venezuelan affairs among the mem
OCAS VI CuO AOuSo uuAIAS CA0 udy. LIS
general opinion among those who will
have the conduct of foreign affairs in
charge in the house is that Lord Sails
bury's reply will be a diplomatic ava
sion Of the main issue; that it will be
couched in the friendly terms, and
while expressing a willingness to arbi.
trate AZ to a portion of the disputed ter
ritory, will deny the right Of the United
States to ask Great Britain to arbitrate
as to territory, the ownership of which
Great Britain claims is hers beyond dis
pute. In other words, it is believed
that Great Britain's reply will tenn.
porize with the subject and simply open
tho way for further correspondence.

say anything else. The results OF the
week have been very satisfactory to me- -
"And you do not anticipate much of
an opposition campaignG"
.sNo, in the face of the present facts,
I should say that there will be no oppo-
sition as far as the convention is con-
cerned. We are pretty sure Of ourselves
as far as that goes. But of coursesswe
can't tell what will happen after that
It is reasonable to suppose that the DEM
ocratic party will put up good fight
and that the campaign will be lively,
hut of that I cannot talk today. That
is ali in the future, and no one can do
anyrhing more than surlnise about the
outcome. You may safely quote me as
saving emphatically, that am very well
satisfied the way things are going just
now"

LOST HIS SAND.
EtheIWynn's Owner Prefers a Dry
Skin to Glory.
HE WITHDRAWS HIS BOAT AFTER
SIX MILES.

The Little Spruce Sailed Gallantly Over

Help Him Out.
Centre Island. September 26-The third
race in the Seawanhaka Clubs inter-

was sailed today and resulted in victory
for the Spruce, the challenger, the owner,
Field, withdrawing the Ethelwynn, the
American defender, at the end OF six
miles AS far as the contest was COM
petitive the English half-rater was
winner by nearly nine minutes, being
handsomely sailed in a strong breeze and
rough sea- The wind during the frst
half of the course, which was to leeward,
and then to windward three miles each
leg, was of fifteen knots velocity.
After the Spruce started on. the second
run to leeward the Ethlewynn was
sailed up to the committee boat and Mr..
Field, her owner, declared the withdrawal
of the Ethelwynn. Mr. Field, when asked
his reason for withdrawal, said;
cit is no fit place out here for small
boats like these. 1 do not propose to risk
my life for any cup that might thus be
won. I pull out against the wish and
advice of my sailing master, Mr.. Ball."
Captain Bali said: my crew, COM
posed Of Mr.. Field, who is also the
Ethelwynn's owenr, was in state of
funk. AS soon as we began windward
course, he persisted in throwing the boat
into the wind by letting fly the jibsheet
at each heavy puff. thus rendering the
rudder ueless. -
The skipper was powerless to keep the
boat on her course, SO the only thing left
was to withdraw. Before the series began
Captain Ball desired his brother for one
of the crew and the owner, Mr.. Field,
has now acceded to his wish. The new
hand will report for duty tommorrow.
Prior to the preliminary signal, Mr..
Brand, the Spruce's owner, proposed the
race be postponed until tomorrow. Mr..

this matter and it was left to Mr.. Brand S
representative, Mr.. Turdee, and Mr..
Fields representative, MIR. Stephens, who
both decided to race.

Thinks He May Be Nominated Oh tno Z As'
Ballot.
Boston, September PA Washington
dispatch to the Globe says
From time to time during the past few
months stray paragraphs have been set
afloat as to the Presidential aspirations
of Senator Cushman Z. Davits OF Minnie
sofa.
He has hardly been regarded as
serious Presidential possibility, except by
his intimate friends and warm admirers,
but according to ex-senator Sabln OF his
State, who has been visiting In Washing
ton, the Davis boom Is not to be laugneo
at. MIR. Sabin thinks that MIR. Davis
name Will be heard In the next Repupll-
can convention, and while he does not
belleve that he can secure the PRESIDENTIAL
nomination he thinks 1T not 1mpropaDle
that he may be the second man on the
ticket, which would doubtless MI the
measure of Senator Davis ambltlon roT
the present.
Mr.. Sabin comes out stronger Ior MT
Reed. This is what he said; Out IN
the northwest, as far as we can learn by
the personal contact with the rank and
file as we'll as the leaders OF Jne IIepuDll-
can party, the trend Of sentiment Is
favorable to the consideration OF Thomas
B. Reed of Maine. He possesses the
qualities which SO endeared Gen. Grant
to his supporters, conspicuous among
which was the fact that he always stands
br his friends. That is the kind of a
man to lead and win with, for you al
ways know where to find him in an
emergency.
"Senator Quay's success in Pennsyl-
vania and the result of the recent Repub-
Iican convention in New York are indi-
cations favorable to the Reed boom. He
is the man, because he has the courage of
his convictions and is not afraid to speak
his sentiments. Hence It may be set down
as certainty that the empire and key
stone states will be found linked together
at the Republican Presidential conven-
tion in support OF Reed.
"With New England and the Middle
States for him, IL will be a difficult
matter to overthrow the standard of
Reed, and all over the west the sentiment
is seriously strongly increasing in his
favor. It would not surprise me under
these circumstances to see his nomination
for President on the first ballot, and GER
tainly no truer exponent of the principles
of Republicanism can be found in this
country"
