ENGLAND'S GRAND OLD MAN
Declines to Address Members OF the
Chicago Press Club
lmpeled Thereto by Physical Infirmlty-He
Speaks a Strong Word in the
Cause of Armenia

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The Press club
Of Chicago has has, an address from some
speaker of some distinction in the Audi
forum every year for several years.
They invited Mr.. Gladstone for 1896.
and the Mayor OF Chicago supplemented
the request with a cordial letter inviting
Mr.. Gladstone and his family. These
letters were sent to Mr.. Depew TO be for
wu1ded with personal letter from him.
The following is Mr.Gladstone answer:
(HAWARDEN CASTLE,
Chester. Nov. 4, 1895.
Dear Mr.. Depew.-I have had the honor
to receive your letter which forwards the
invitation of the Pres, club, accompan-
led and countenanced by the gracious ad-
dress of the mayor of the great city OF
Chicago.
l cannot too strongly express my sense
OF the honor done me, and | wish to add
that III my opinion no cause mure sacred
and none more urgent taan tina OF the
Armenians has ever been brought before
the citizens of humane and enlightened
countries. 1T is for the moment ehvel-
oped, 50 far as the public is concerned,
in uncertain tv, but yet there are indica-
tons that the handwriting on the wnll
which warned one ancient despnt OF his
cunning doom can again be traced visinly
enough to betuken some approaching
crash of a system OF Cover nm ,Dt far more
impious and more ubiquitous.
With these feelings, | still must not
blind myself to the facts of my situation.
After my long public life l can attempt
no public action without considering
much besides the truth, an even the i'm
portarce of what might have to say and
/ am far from convinced that my under
takins public progress (fcr such it
would be) at the present time would be
beneficial to the Armchair cause. But
all reasoning on such question is cut
short by an undesirable physical unfit
ness. The blessing of good health is
still vouchsated to me, but diminishing
strength, imperfect vision and growing
deafness incapac!tate me from public
efforts which more weighty ccnsidera-
lions might lead me to undertake and
con fine my Intercourse to others. to what
is purely private and of a restricted char
acter.
l send this reply with much regret,
with too full an assurance OF its necessity.
In conclusion let me hope that the infiu-
ence of your great, and in such matter
neces partly i'm partial country will be
powerfully used in the cause of right.
I remain, with much respect, dear Mr..
Dcpew, very faithfully yours,
". e. GLADSTONE.

THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION
Salisbury Makes Reply to Sec.
rotary OIney's Note
ARBITRATION IS DECLINED
Regarding Any Territory Within the
Schomberg Line
The President Has but One Course, and That
Is to Submit the Matter to Con-
gress for Direction
Associated Press Special Wire.

LONDON, Dec. 4.-The reply of the
marquis OF Salisbury to the noto of sec.
rotary Olney on the Venezuelan ques.
ton is on board the White Star line
steamship Brttanic, Que in New YORK
on Friday. The essence of the docume ont
is that Great Britain refuses to submit to
arbitration any territory within the
Schon berg line. Surprise is Expressed
because the reply was not sent through
the United States en- bassy, but Am bassa-
dor Bayard explains that this is not in
accord with diplomatic usage.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Thers is roa-
son to believe that the president was
aware before his message went to con-
gress that Lord Salisoury's response TO
Ambassador Bayard's representations
touching the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute would pe unfavOra ole, but the fact
was probably withheld from congress,
because that portion of the message relat-
ing to Venezuela had already been cofn .
plteed. and the president desires to make
it the subject of special commun ica-
ton that will give the matter the i'm
porta1ce it deserves. If the reply is of
the nature stated, then it is realized
here that there can be but one line Of
action open to the president.
lie mas III his note OF instructions to
Mr.. Bayard simply carried cut the ex-
pressed wish OF congress, as exhibited in
the resolutions adopted toward the close
vi last session. He has presented the
issue plainly and Invested 1t of all the
eztraneous issues that were sought to be
included by the British government.
The question of a claim for reparation
for the arrest of British officials by the
Venezuelans, being regarded by the pres
ident as directly dependent upon the
main question of the solution of the
boundary dispute, was not allowed ia
complicate the issue, nor was the attempt
to assert jurisdiction over the best part
OF the Land claimed, namely. that living
eastward of the shifting Shom berg line.
II aving received q negative reply to his
direct inquiry, whether or not Great
Britain was prepared to submit TO arhi-
tration all of the territory in dispute, for
there can be no DOUBT that the president
has been informed by cable Of the nature
OF the comm unicatiOn coming by mail.
there remains for him but one course,
namely, to submit tho matter to congress
for its further direction.
Beyond this point the president cannot
go alone, for to be consistent he wonld
be obliged to notify the British govern
ment that any encroachment upon Ven
ez1elan soil would be regarded by the
United States as hostile act, and that is
SO perilously close to an open declaration
of war that 1t might be construed as an
infringement upon the constitutional
power of congress.

Doubts in Kansas

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Dec. 4.--The
police here are somewhat uncertain az to
the genuineness of the confession inads
by the prisoner, William Stone, at Fort
Wayne. Policeman Henry Donnelly, the
man implicated by Stone, has certainly
killed one man, and he is not free from
suspicion of connection with the mnr-
der OF another. On September 81, 1885,
christopher Shubsrt, wealthy German
from Leavenworth, Kan, was murdered
here and robbed of his money. His dead
body was found on the Central avenue
briuge early in the morning. No arrests
were ever made and the case was con.
sidered "a mystery. Two months later
Policeman Henry Donnelly shot and
killed Thomas O'Donald, policeman,
in saloon, and was sentenced to two
years in the penltentiary. He served his
term and is now supposed to be some
where in Colorado. Should the coufes-
sion of Stone be borne out in its details.
the police here assert that they will make
an effort to have Donnelly arrested for
completely in the murder of Shubert.

THE PRICE OF SUGAR STOCK
Did Not Fall by Reason of the
Injunction
Counsel for the Refining Company Saws It
Has Taken Pains to Avoid Be-
ing Monopoly

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Recent rumors
OF pending legal attack upon the Amerl-
can Sugar Refining company crvstallizsd
today when papers served upon Secretary
John II. Searles. in a suit to restrain the
com pany from doing business in this
state. RumUrs were also current that
SIMILAR proceedings would be taken in
Massachusetts. The opinion in the state
was that the attacks were inspired by the
same motives as those governing the
opposition to the consolidation plan of
the Chicago Gas companies. The action
taken did no: affect the price of the
stock which closed mt a gain of l per
cent over Yesterdays final figures. Mr..
John Il. Parsons of counsel for the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company, was inter-
viewed by reporter in regard to the suit
and said:
II have only glanced over the papers.
They proceed upon the idea that the
American Sugar Refining company is
combination of the large number of pre-
viousiy existing corporations and indi-
vidual sugar refiueries, so that this COM
bine constitutes monopoly and is in
violation of law. There are further allie
cations, all for the purpose Of esta blish-
ing that the company is monopoly.
Anyone can make an application TO the
attorney general. Anyone can serve
papers upon such an application. The
p racticai consideration is whether the
facts alleged are true and whether, ii
true. they can make out n case.
The fact is that the American Sugar
Refining company is the only corporation
now existing. All preceding CORPORA
tons have been dissolved and are out of
existence. The organization of the COM
pany followed the decision of the court of
appeals in the case of the North River
company. 1t is IN direct conformity with
that understand to have been estab-
lished In that case and to have been es-
tablished in many other cases. Not only
is there no law which prevents corpora
tons from acquiring property which pre-
viously belonged to other individuals or
corporations, but the statutes Of this
state and of Now Jersey make express
provision that this may be done. The
com pany has always been most careful
that nothing should be done to counte.
nance the idea of a monopoly. Anybody
can carry on business OF sugar refining
in this state or anywhere else, SO far as
the American Sugar Refining company
is concerned. 1t has never made any
contract or agreement to the con trary.
Anyone can sell at any price he likes"
When asked as to the person in whose
name the papers were served today Mr.
Parsons replied that the name Of the an
plicant was Hunt. Two names were filled
in, but he could not recollect the other.

interior, to whom they ascribs the pro.
hibition Of the importation Of American
cattle and the restriction on the insur-
ancu ompanies. The government organ,
on the contrary, contends that the situa-
ton in America is responsible for these
restrictions and that their withdrawal
rests NTH America herself.
The colonial papers accuse America OF
an intention to vancouver England and
Germany out of Samoa and they appeal
to the government to proclaim the suzer-
ainty of Germany as the only power en-.
titled to rule in Samoa.
The Daily News Berlin correspondent
makes similar comments and says: 1.-The

ures against American food products were

WOOL GROWERS GATHER
To Formulate a Demand for Protective
Tariff
A General Expression Of Opinion Thst the Old
Mckinley Tax Was Not Near
High Enough

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The annual
meeting of the National Association of
Wool Growers began here today. The
principal feature was the annual address
of President William Lawrence OF Ohio,
who dwelt on the distressed condition of
the Woodworking industry and made vari-
GUS suggestions for remedial legislation
and concerted action to secure better
protection to growers.
President Lawrence in an informal con-
ference told the wool mon he did not ex.
poet any measure of satisfaction to wool
interests would be passed by congress I'M
til full revision OF the tariff should be
made. He submitted long memorial,
which he suggested be adopted and pre-
sented to congress. 1t recites the loss to
sheep breeders caused by the free wo
schedule of the Wilson tariff law and ia
vors as temporary relief the re.enactment
OF the Mckinley schedule with slight
notifications.
Theodore Justice of Philadelphia, adj
vooated this ro-enaotment as temporary
relief and said the Mckinley wool
tariff had yielded for three years an m.
nual revenue OF $40, 600. 900. Placing wool
on this. free list, he said, mad so far. caused
loss of 500, 900, 900 to the wool growers.
The re.cnactment of the Mckinley sched-
ule, he urped, should take effect imme-
diately and these views were formulated
in proposed resolutions which Mr.. Jus.
tice read.
Much of the session was occupied in ad-
dresses by representatives from different
parts of the country who told of the I'M
satisfactory condition Of the wool indus
try in their localities. During the day q
resolution was offered that congress be
sked to pass Immediately, as u partial
measure OF relief, schedule K-wool and
woolens-of the Mckinley law. This,
however, was objected to BY some OF
those present on the ground that the du-
ties provided for by that schedule were
not high enough and the resolution, al
ter some discussion, was referred to a
committee of five, whose duty it is to
dram up memorial to congress asking
fer relief for the wool industry. This
committee is composed Of Judge Law
renee, chairman; Calvin Cowgirl of In
diana, W. W. Burch OF Chicago, A. F.
Shepard Of Texas and Theodore Justice
of Philadelphia.
