Berlin, Dec. 2l.-President Cleveland's
message to congress on the boundary dis
pute dropped like thunderbolt upon Ger
many, and Immediately overshadowed all
questions of domestic politics and the Ar
menlan imbroglio. The almost general
condemnation of the action of President
Cleveland upon the part of the German
press Is due less to love for England than
to the conviction that the interests Of
Germany are also threatened. M
The latest news from America is regard
ed as promising for the refusal of business
men to indorse Cleveland's attitude, and
all eyes are directed toward the develop
ments of financial crisis.
Next to President Cleveland, Emperor
Williams visit to Prince Bismarck at

PROMINENT ENeLrsmMAN's VIEWS
Re les Upon Good Sense and CONNER
cial Instincts for n Solution.


cial Instincts for n Solution.
London. Dec. 22.-Sir r. K. Rollit the
conservative member of parliament for
the South Division of Islington, and
president of the London and Hull Asso-
ciated Chamber of Commerce, granted
an interview to a representative of the
Associated Press today on the outlook
of the Venezuelan question. After re-
marking that it was a delicate and crit
ical position, he said:
1T is deeply to be regretted that the
incident has imperilled both the good
will and trade, and even peace and COM
merce must ip any case be more serious
ly interrupted and injured just at the
time when prospects were improving
and business men were justly hoping
for better times"
He did not question the American at
tachment to the Monroe doctrine and
that it was sanctioned by cogent rea-
sons from their point of view. The
feeling which inspired it, however, he
thought was Ineligible, but in the true
sense of the doctrine Great Britain
could not be said to desire any exten-
sion of territory in seeking a delmita-
ton in insisting upon recognition of
what she believes to be her just rights
by state greatly indebted to her for
the development of her public works.
He did not think it wise for Englishmen
to follow the example of many Arneri-
cans in attributing the action of Presi-
dent Cleveland merely to party and
personal motives. But he felt confident
that Americans generally would ulti-
mately realize that the course of Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Olney was
iously embarrassed even the most
peace-loving Englishmen. But he re-
lied upon the good sense and CONNER
cial instincts and interest of both peo-
pie to discover a friendly and honorable
solution
