 London, Dec. 1S.-The Manchester Guardian, commenting on President Cleveland's message to the American congress yesterday, says: we deeply regret the tone of MT Cleveland's mes sage. A grave struggle will now begin bstWeen moderate and extreme public opinion in America, the issue of which will have the graVest effect upon the peace of the world. The British gov vernment, who are the opponents of the opinion of Great Britain, will only do their duty if they will strengthen the hands of the friends of peace in the United States by avoiding any eX- pression of public anmosity."
 The Sheffield Telegraph the organ of
 the steel plate manufacturing district, says: "Mr Clevelands language is ad-
 mirably calculated to induce England
 to bid the Yankees to do their worst which, as they would be the attacking power, seeing that they have neither navy nor army to speak of, would in cline to the ridiculous. Still, if the | United States really mean fighting, l Great Britain is not likely to evade the | challenge. Certainly We will not be turned from the plain path by threats The Pail Mall Gazette does not regard | Mir Clevelands S communication to con- gress as a serious message but only an election address which ought to
 bring to him the solid vote of the con
 Cession mongers who already see them i aly ebi ,,t of n a l Essiquibo river The Gazette advises
 Mr. Cleveland to go before the country
 immediately, before the people of Amer | icar have time to study the Olney doc Urine, and not give him a day to ask what he would think if England ap- | pointed a commission to delimit the l flcntiers of the United States and MeXi- | CO.,
 The Westminster Gazette speaks of the horror of patricide within the Anglo 1 Saxon race, and says:
 1 "Wis do not believe that war is possi- | ble."
 Glasgow, Dec. 1S.-The consensus of
 opinion among the grain dealers of Glasgow in regard to President CleVe- | landis message is that if war should re-
 suit the American grain dealers would
 suffer most as they would not be able l to dispose of their surplus wheat, while 1 Great Britain has other markets. London, Dec. 1S-The Globe says: MT. Cleveland and MT. Olney have
 strained the friendship of the two coun-
 tries almost to the point of breaking.
 It is difficult to write calmly of the 1 ayiT 1l, advance in the name of the United
 States but we trust that the proposed commission will be politely, but firmly requested to pursue their inquiries on 1 the far side of the Schomburgk line"
 The St. James Gazette says: 1 "1'he claims set up by MT Cleveland and MT. Olnay are so exaggerated and l their language SO offensive that it would cause no surprise if there should
 be a similar explosion of violence in Great Britain
 A representative of the United Press | this morning interviewed a number of
 prominent stock exchange operators,
 from whom he eIicited expressions of
 lief that the affair would not finally i be serious, and that the fall of prices
 resultant from President Cleveland's message would not be permanent. A number of politicians seem at the
 various conservative clubs by the Unit
 ed Press epresentative, maintained 1 that diplomats acting under the in
 structions of Lord Salisbury, had sound 1 ed the European powers during last au- l tumn and prior to the dispatch of Great Britain's reply to Secretary O.
 neys note, with the result that the dip
 lomats answered that all of the powers l having interests in American agreed
 with Lord Salisbury that the Monroe doctrine, as stated by Mr. Olney, did
 not possess any international authority Lord Salisbury is at his residence, Hatfsld House, Hertfordshire, but is
 expected to arrive in London this af- 1 terroon and visit the foreign office. 1 London, Dec. 1S.-The queen started | from Windsor for Osborne House, Isle
