Then. to help on and further the cause

While we have been successful in it,

AN HISTORICAL BATTLEFIELD
The Bull Run Battlefield Has Been Sold
, for Farming Purposes. sat

The Bull Run battlefield has been sold
and will probably be cut up into small
farms-in any event continue to be de-
voted to agricultural purposes. This is
the common fate of battleelds. That a
battlefield, or some portion of it, should
be set apart as public ground, as is now
the case at Gettysburg and Shiloh and
Chickamauga, is the rarer circumstance.
Usually the "place where the battle was
fought reverts to the condition in which
it stood before the ground was covered
by the contending armies. Nature
seems to sympathize with the work Of
removing the traces Of the conflict, and
all her forces aid her in it.

Attitude of Russia,

ST.. PETERSBURG, Dec. 23.-The
Russian newspapers generally discuss
the Venezuelan question, and ex
press the belief that it will have a pa
citc issue.
The Nvosit considers the position
assumed by the United States in con
hict with the interests Of the whole
Of Europe, and suggests the mediation
of certain European powers.

comes to a war between great Britain
and the United States the former will
have to encounter internal as we've as
foreign foes, for the Irish are notlike
ly 10 look on passively at such a con
fict. In that event England's affairs
in Turkey and the far east will not
wear 20 favorable All aspect, and there
would come the hour of bitter retri
button for the past upon which Eng,
lishmen pride themselves, forgetting
that success gained by guile and force
is never enduring.
The Bourse Gazette remarks: The
one honorable means left for England
to eXtricate herself from the affair is
a vote of censure against the Marquis
of Salisbury and a new Cabinet, which
might be able to rectify the blunderf
of it's predecessors.

About n Bond Issue.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-It can be
stated on authority that the rumor
that the President has decided to an
nounce another bond issue at once is
without foundation. The only mem
bers of the Cabinet who saw the Pres
ldent to day were Secretary Lamont
who had just returned to the city and
called to pay his respects. OIney and
Carlisle. The general situation was
discussed informally, but the question
OF the immediate issue of bonds was
notconsidered. I
1t Is stated that in view of the
Presidents recent message to Con-
gress asking for legislation which
might render another issue
sary, it would be scant courtesy to
that body to anticipate its action. The
President has himself repeatedly stat
ed, however, that he would protect
the public credit at whatever cost
should the necessity of the situation
require heroic action, but at the pres
ent moment 1t is argued that such a
necessity has not arisen. Moreover
it is doubted whether, in view of the
present state of the money market at
home and abroad, a large loan could
be hoated, except at a great sacrifice
to the Government. With money at
% per cent it is not seen how export
ers a afford to make any shipments
of gold, and for this reason apprehen-
sion OF large Withdrawals predicted
before a break in the market occurred
is no longer felt.
There seems to be, however, nc
reasonable doubt that should heavy
gold shipments be resumed and Con.
gress fail to pass any immediate legis,
~lation, the President would issue
bonds to any amount the situation
might justify.
