PROMINENT ENGLISHMANS VIEW
Relies UpOn Good Sense and CONNER
cia! IMsti cts for a Solution.

CiaI lnStl cts Tor a 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:
at is deeply to be regretted that the
incident has imperilled both the good
will and trade, and even peace and COM
merce must in 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 extern
sion of territory in seeking a delimita-
ton in insisting upon recognition of
what she believes to be her just rights
by a 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 Ameri-
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
impetuous and imperious and had ser
| 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.

OEFENSES IN A DEPLORABLE STATE
General Miles Points out Our Helpless
Condition and suggests a Remedy.

Washington, Dec. N.-General Miles,
commanding the army, has given out
statement by request in regard to the abil
ity of the United States to defend herself
in case of war.
He said IF war should break QUO at
the present time, all we have in the south,
or in fact, anywhere else with a few ex
ceptions, would be a lot Of obsolete guns
on rotten carriages, which would fall
over before they could be Of any service.
The country is in deplorable condition
for defense. There are only three mod
ern high-pOWer guns in position in this
country. Two of these are at the entrance
to New York harbor and the third is at
San Francisco.
IF congress would make liberal apprO-
priatons, the coasts can be placed III con-
dition for defense in two years time.
The work would cost in the neighborhood
of $50 100000. 1t would take about a year
to manufacture the tools necessary for
the construction Of guns and then another
year for the manufacture of the guns
themselves.
"In regard to land forces, no difficulty
would be experienced in getting 100000
men IN mOnth Inc small army we
have would be in the nature of a nucleus
for other troops What we need, however,
is not men but coast Notifications. After
we get the Notifications we could get
the mon to operate the guns.
1.-THE enemy could place his ships off our
coast and fire shells into our cities. This
would drive millions of people from their
homes and cause untold distress The
wealth of 300 years is stored in Boston,
New York and other great cities and their
loss would be very severe.

to usurp any of the functions of states
men now considering the dispute, he
would say that there was no higher pow
er to determine the necessities of war
than religion. If religion was useful
in time of peace only, he said, 1t could
be Of no use at all.
WAR IS HE'LL"
In the course of his sermon on civil
ization's Debt to Christianity" Rev.
DR.. Madison c. Peters of the Blooming
dale Reformed church said War is
cruel, hateful, wrong. War is hell. The
political demagOgues who at this
Christmastide are shouting for war, will
be branded by the second sober thought
of the American people as the criminals
Of the 18th century. When these men
had an opportunity to fight for their
land, when the stars and stripes were
trailed in the dust, they sent Substi-
tutes A war between England and
America could never be determined I'M
til one or the other went into bank
ruptcy or had no more men to fill the
ranks AS a preacher of the gospel of
peace and universal brotherhood, call
for arbitration"
DECLARED FOR ARBITRATION.
Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 22.-Rev. Wash
ington GLADDEN., in a sermon today,
strongly deprecated the talk Of war fol-
lowing the presidents message on the
Venezuelan matter. He said:
where is that petition signed by
majority of the members Of parliament
and addressed to our government ask
ing them to join in a perpetual treaty
of peace by which all disputes shall be
submitted to arbitratiOn?"
Resolutions were adopted by DR..
Gladden's congregation declaring for
arbitration, and copies of the same and
DR.. Gladden's sermon will be sent to
President Cleveland, the British ambas-
sador and Ohio's senators and congress-
men.
Washington, Dec. 22.-In a number
Of pulpits of Washington today allu~
sions were made to the possibility OF
a war with Great Britain. The min
listers in their prayers invoked the di-
vine aid that such a calamity might be
averted The Rev. Dewitt Talmage in
his discourse said: "And now, stand
ing here so near the Christmas day, l
hear unrolling from the sky the peace
anthems. There will be no war between
England and the United States. Such
a war would be the greatest calamity
since the creation of the world. May
God forbid the universal bankruptcy
and the universal slaughter.

Commission May Await Legisa-
tive Action.
NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO FINISH
he AUGMENTATION for One Division Is
insuff.cIent-A attorney
Generals View.

t'airhaven, Wash. Dec. 20.-The board
of state road commissioners, created
by the last legislature and appointed by
Governor McGraW, to locate and build
wagon road across the Cascade
mountains from eastern TO western
Washington, has been in session here
for several days, and adjourned this
morning.
The board, after a careful inspection
of the different passes, concluded that
the section from Blanchard to the boun-
Diary line between Skagit and Whatcom
counties could not be built within the
amount appropriated therefor, and be-
ing at a loss how to proceed, called upon
Attorney General Jones for an opinion.
This opinion was received today, as fol-
lows:
Spokane. Dec. 20, 1895.-Hon. E. NJ. Will
son, President of Board of State Road
Commissioners, Fairhaven, Wash.-Dear
Sir: Your favor of recent date at hand,
in which you submit for my advice the
following question:
The law making this appropriation re"
quires that $4,000 be expended between the
point of beginning at Marcus and the
mouth of the Twisp river; that $4,000 ID
expended between the mouth of the Twisp
river and Marble mountain, and that $4OOO
be expended on the road from Blanchard
to the Skagit county line. These proVi-
sions are found in section 10 of the act.
Section | of the act requires your hOnOra-
BILE board before beginning cOnStrL2t1o
to decide on a road of such width and
grades that it may be constructed from
Marble mountain to the MethOW river
without exceeding the amount appropri-
ated. In other words, the commission is
charged specifically with building one
continuous road from Marble mountain
to the Methow river and making such
road as good as can be made for the
amount appropriated. l do not think that
the insufficiency of the appropriation
made for any particular division of the
road relieves the commission Of the duty
of making as good a road as 1t can on
each of the divisions for the amount APP
propriated. The direction to the commits
sion with respect to completing the
Blanchard division and the division from
Marcus to MethOW river are not so Spe-
cific as in the case of the other division,
and more latitude is left to the commits
sion in regard to these two divisions in eX-
ercising their discretion in the eXpendit-
ure of the money appropriated However,
if the appropriation for the Blanchard
division is so manifestly inadequate that
in the judgment of the commission the
expenditure of the sum appropriated
would not result in any corresponding adj
vantage to the public, see no improperly
in delaying action upon that division until
the legislature can further consider the
natter and increase the appropriation if
in their judgment the public interest de-
mands it, Very respectfully submitted,
w. G. JONES, Attorney General.

GOV. HASTINGS DECLARES HIMSELF
British Lion Is Growing, but Stars and
Stripes Are in NO Danger.

Pittsburg, Dec. Ex-Governor Has
tings today declared himself on the war
question: unequivocally pronouncing
the Monroe doctrine good. The occa-
sion was the annual memorial service
Of James NJ. Lisle post No. 128, G.. A. r.
In the course of the governors ad-
dress he said: Lately we have been
hearing growls from the British lion,
but the stars and stripes are in no more
danger than when Lee handed his sword
to Grant. Two great peoples, speaking
the same language, engaged in the
same pursuits, having the same Bible
and believing in the same God, will not
go to war. Let US hope that wisdom
will prevail and that the resorts will
be those Of peace, but let there
be no peace that will put a
stain upon our flag. Let us insist
upon the principles of the constitution
and those great principles of security
and self-preservation enunciated by
that great president, James Monroe"

SIX OTHERS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

OF These 1t Is Feared That at Least One
Man viii Dle-The Boiler Had Been
Examined and Pronounced Safe on sun
day Last.
WoBURN, Mass, April 2-One of the
four eighty horse power steam boilers con
nected with the large tannery and curry
ing shop of Loring & Jones, on Conn
street, exploded yesterday. Four men were
instantly killed, one died on his way to the
hospital, one will die from his injuries,
and several are painfully hurt The force
of the explosion wrecked the tannery
buildings, and several dwelling houses in
the neighborhood were damaged. The
property loss is unknown, but Is large.
The cause of the disaster is not definitely
known, and never will be, as the men who
had to do with the boilers are dead.
The dead are Austin Clements, aged
85, head curier, leaves widow and two
children; Patrick McGonigle, 40, oiler,
leaves widow and three children; Frank
Mcmahon, 90, currier, leaves widow and
two children; Patrick Mullaly, &c. fireman,
leaves a widow; Patrick Riley, 80, currieT,
unmarried,
Fatally injured: Octavius Sanders, aged
80, colored night fireman; married. The
Others injured are: John Kenney, currfer,
bad scalp wOund Patrick Keefe, currier,
scalp wound and several burns; William
Randlsh, currieT, hip fractured; James
Ryan, currier, burns and contusions; John
Tracey, currier, burned about the face.
All the killed and wounded belonged in
Woburn.
Parts of the boilers and engines were
lifted high in the air, and in their descent
practically destroyed all of the plant that
had not been wrecked bv the explosion
itself. The loss sustain the insurance
on the whole has d. U stated. The
boilers and engineswcr ,tred for $12 600.
Lumps of brick and mortar, which had
been blown 300 feet into the air, fell on a
row of small wooden houses further along
on Conn street, doing considerable dam
age Bricks went through windows and
roofs, landing on beds in which children
were sleeping, on tables where persons
were eating, and demolishing substantial
woodwork as if it were made of paper
About dozen people in and about these
houses were slightly injured. The terror
in the neighborhood was intense.
The boiler which burst was examined
by an inspector from a Hartford Insurance
company on Sunday, and it was not only
pronounced all right, but certificate was
given permitting a pressure of even more
than normal capacity.
