World from Caracas, Venezuela, says that
In connection with the population by
President Crespo of an Interview cabled
TO London in which he was quoted ne
saying that the arrest of British police on
the disputed territory by Venezuelan SOL
diers was distinct from the boundary ques-
ton, "the editor of The Prejonero, Leon
Ponte has been put in prison for having
reproduced the interview here. The gov
eminent will refuse TO England indem-
nifty in any form for the Yuruan affair,
claiming that the sovereignty of the ter
ritory is involved in the incident. The
government has denied any extension OF
time for the Hastings Anglo Venezuela
bank concession. The militia have been
called for service by executive decree.
This enrolls every male citizen Christ
iation in the history of the country for
the purpose OF expressing the gratitude of
Venezuela to the United States. 1t will
be also a demonstration against England.
Calls ON All South America.
1.-THE city of Caracas is decorated with
American and Venezuelan colors. Thirty
thousand people will parade through the
streets of the city. The archbishop, other
members of the clergy, and men, women
and children will participate. During the
procession the church bells will be rung.
At night there will be general illumnina-
tions. The American residents will meet to
arrange for expressing acknowledgements
and returning Venezuelan courtesies.
The society for the defense of the national
territory appeals to the civilized world in
manifesto against England. An i'm
portant cabinet meeting has just been
held. The government has cabled TO all
the South and Central American republics
TO sustain Venezuela against England.

Every merchant has decided to boycott
English goods. Newspapers request ideas
TO put into practice in the defense of the
country. The Prejonero offers prize of
ITO bolivars, and says the prize plan will
be adopted. Delegations of enthusiastic
VeneZuelans continue to call on the
American minister and thank him for the
stand taken by the United States govern
ment. The excitement is increasing.

Msbs So Turbulent That the Police Have

PHILADELPHIA. Dec 24-Tho great troll
lev strike is ended. This Is final. John
Wannmaker is the man who brought
about the settlement, succeeding where all
others failed He was aided In the work
by members of the Christian League. The
basis of settlement follows:
First-While the Union Traction COM
pany will only treat with the workmen in
its employ, 1t will allow them member
ship in any lawful organization; second,
IL will take up all grievances and give
them full and fair consideration; third,
it will, so far as it has vacant places, i'm
mediately put on the old men, and as fast
as vacancies arise will give preferences TO
the old men yet unemployed, and en-
deavor to arrange the trips Of the cars to
favor the old men as far as possible with
out violating its contracts with the new
men, The questions of compensation and
hours are left for future determination.
Yesterday was certainly the most VOL
ent since the struggle began, and for the
first time the police shot TO kill. About
10 o'clock in the morning a tremendous
crowd gathered at Eighteenth and Girard
avenue, and as the cars passed, each with
several police aboard, the stones began TO
fly. A dozen or more cars had been COM
pletey wrecked when the policemen
opened fire. They first fired into the air.
but as the situation became more threat
ening one Of them fired his revolver into
the crowd William H. Matthews, a
striking motorman, fell with bullet in
his head, and Samuel q. Crossley, strik-
ing conductor, was shot in the knee
Both are in a serious condition at a hos
pital. James Hartnett was shot in the
arm and slightly injured. A number OF
arrests were made. Other riots OF more
or less violence occurred in almost every
section of the city. In one of these H. K.
Graham, of 1886 Broadway, Brooklyn, who
admitted that he was an organizer for the
Knights of Labor, was arrested. He came
here to work on car but soon became
sympathizer and had been very boisterous
in egging mobs on to violence. Before
final settlement was effected counsel for
the strikers had filed an application in
court asking for the appointment of a
board of arbitration under the act OF 1893.
This will probably be Withdrawn.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2l.-Yesterday was q

matters for a time bore the resemblance
Of panic. But the condition of affairs

Before the opening Of business on the
stock exchange it was announced that IS,
100000 in gold would be sent out Of the
country, and later in the day the export
of $50, 900 was announced. This toge Their
with the cable advices from London an
nouncing extensive sale of American Sc
curities, and the tenor of the war news
from all quarters was responsible for the
general feeling of uneasiness that pre-
vailed even early in the day
The spirit OF the market was TO sell, and
In the big exchanges this was done TO an
extent rarely before surpassed. In the
Stock Exchange tho sales for the day were
775, 761 shares. AS a result of the decline
in stocks the failure of the following firms
was announced on the Stock Exchange
during the day: Nichols, rockingham &
Co, Samuel S. Sands a. Co., De Neufville
q Co., l.. A. Feldman, and b. Fenton.
With the fall in prices the banks called in
all their loans, thus adding to the COM
plications of the situation. In many in
stances renewals could be made under no
conditions whatever

CARNEGIE's PLAN FOR PEACE.
Thinks Arbitration Could Get Around the
Point of Honor.

Point of Honor.
NEW YORK, Dec. 25-Following is the
pith of Andrew Carnegie's communica.
ton cabled to the London Times: "A
very great power has declined arbitration
in a boundary dispute with very weak
power, because part of the territory in dis
pute has been settled by its citizens whom
II is bound to honor and protect The
great power might, however, have offered
TO accept peaceful arbitration of the whole
dispute, provided value was first agreed
upon, or that arbitration should fix one
upon the settled territory, continued pos
session of which was held TO be neces
sary
"Thus would the principle of arbitra-
ton have been upheld and honor doubly
protected; title protected by honorable
purchase if unexpectedly found defective,
and all her citizens securely guarded.
There should be little difficulty in secur-
ing arbitration in this form through your
able ambassador at Washington, aided by
the good offices of your kindred nation.
Perhaps price could be obtained without
arbitration, although this is less probable
and infinitely less desirable, since arbitra
ton is the precious jewel OF our age and
should not be discarded.
''In this crisis, when the passions of
men are SO wildly stirred, it is impolitic to
refer TO the strained relations between the
two nations that embrace all our race, but
it is all-important for the people of both
lands TO remember that the deplorable
irritation now existing has its sole cause
in the refusal of peaceful arbitration upon
point of honor which, it is held, renders
the continued possession of some disputed
territory necessary but which can be
readily safeguarded and yet arbitration be
made the instrument of peaceful and
honorable settlement for all parties con-
cerned 4"

School Children Are Patriotic.

BELvIDERE, n. j., Dec. 25.-Susan Bril-.
Ter, pupil in the public school, took a
British flag into the school house and
waved it in the faces of the patriotic little
ones. Susan's parents are English.
When the pupils went to lunch they told
their parents, and as a result each pupil
on returning had an American flag, which
they waved in the face of the little En-
glish girl. She grabbed one of the flags,
tore it into ribbons and trampled on it
with her feet. Then all the other children
drove her from the building.

A BIG DAMAGE SUIT.
J. R. Reed Wants the Street Car Company to Pay Him S1O.OOO for the Loss
 Of Leg.

This morning, by his attorneys, Foster x Coleman, Mr. J.. R. Reed filed q suit for $10,000 damages against the Citizens Street Car Com pany, of this city, for the loss of a leg which was crushed under one of the cars of the defendant's on which he was d passenger.
 Reed was a passenger on one of the defendant's cars on the 10th day of December, and the complaint alleges that he rang the bell for the driver to stop the car to allow him to get off. The car did not stop at the time, and Reed walked out upon the platform with the intention of stepping off. Just before reaching the steps the car was stopped very suddenly and Reed was thrown to the ground. The car was again started up and ran over one of his legs and crushed it.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
The Grand Army of the Republic Said to Be in Favor of Abolishing the
 Life Seat

LOUISVILLE, ky. Sept. 5:-%he National Grand Army Encampment will open next Monday, and already many prominent veterans represent in@ posts in various States, are in the city to complete the arrange ments for the reception and enter taihmeht of their respective posts. Among these early arrivals, several of N hom are Department Com handlers. There is q general opini ln that the approaching session of he Grand Encampment will be mem orable in more than one respect. Two questions are likely to come up for cosidera ton, which, if intro- dnced will doubtless cause a hot contest. The first and most prom inent of these is the question relating to tho right of life seat in the Grand Encampment. now en- joyed by all post commanders. This question has been discussed for years, and several times introduced for consideration, but invaribly voted down. During the last two years, however, there seems to have developed a change of sentiment concerning the question. and many leading veterans are now heard to express themselves in favor of aboiishing "the House of Lords" as they term it. \ resolution to this effect will doubtless be intro duced by some Eastern department, probably Massachusetts.
 The other matter now receiving much attention is the announcement of the department of Pennsylvania of it's intention to introduce a reso- ldtion in favor of the consolidation of posts. Thisproposition is said to have legions of advocates through out the country, who argue that it is only a question of time when posts will have to consolidate to keep ID the organization. In a very few years, they say, many of the posts will be too few in numbers to keep up their organization alone, and in consolidation lies the only remedy for the future.
