Note From salisbury to Oh ,cy Has Been
Delivered by Inuncefote.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The reply of
Lord Salisbury to Secretary Olney's
note of instructions to Ambassador
Bnyard relative to the Venezuelan
boundary dispute was delivered to Sec
retary Olney ut noon. Donelson, the
messenger Of the British embassy, came
early to the state department with
note from Sir Julian Pauncefote, asking
for an appointment to see the secretary.
This was arranged speedily, and Sir
Julian presented the note in person to
the secretary, the ambassador himself
reading its contents to Mr.. Olney, as is
the custom when important documents
IRE presented.
For some reason the state department
officials took steps to prevent the fact
that the note had been delivered from
gaining publicity, but without avail.
At the British embassy, there was the
same indisposition to give any publicity
to the proceedings. All inquiry as to
the nature Of the note failed to secure a
response from any official, and it prob
ably will be preserved us All official Sc

ties are concerned, until the president,
upon his return, has had an opportunity
to consider it and send it to congress,

Press dispatches Of this week.

During a discussion of party measures
Chairman Carter took occasion to say
that he did not think it wise for the

To . Degree Of .Carelessness.
He thought the grave questions before
the country might well cause the Re-
publicans to pause and reflect. The
president had placed himself squarely
in favor of retiring the credit money Of
the country. 1t was possible that the
financial centers of the country ag1eeo
with him. There is no doubt that a
course of that kind, if pursued, would
make Populistic votes. Mr.. Carter
called attention to what he styled the
remarkable growth of the Populist vote.
He said that it had increased 24O per
cent during the past three years and it
was well for the Republicans to take
this into consideration.
Mr.. Carter was charged with being
pessimist and different members Of the
committee said that with platform
enunciating straight Republican princi-
pies there could be no doubt Of victory
