President CIeveland's References to Ger

LONDON, Dec. 5.-A dispatch to the
Standard from Berlin says: "a feeling
akin to CONSERVATION has been caused
here by President Cleveiand's refer
ence to Germany. 1t has had a marked
effect upon the bourse and has been
discussed fully in the newspapers.
The radical newspapers take the
opportunity to attack the Agrari-
ans and Baron Won Koeller (vho has
just been dismissed from his post
as Prussian Minister of the INTERIOR,
to whom they ascribe the prohibition
of the importation of American cattle
and the restriction on life insurance
companies. The government organs
on the contrary contest that the sit
uation in America is responsible for
these restrictions, and that their with
drawal rests with America herself
The colonial papers accuse America of
an intention to maneuvre England and
Germany out of Samoa, and they APP
peal to the government to proclaim
the suzerainty of Germany as the only
power entitled to rule Samoa"

Clint c Osbon, charged with the muir

Osbon was insane. The jury was out

For Killing Henry Leonard.

WICHITA, Kan, Dec. 5.-The exam
ination of the three alleged murder
ers of Henry Leonard, being the
parties in whose house he was killed,
viz: f. NJ. Williamson, Irena William
son and Norvi1le Williamson, their
son, was commenced here yesterday
The court room was SO crowded
that nearly dozen bailitfs had
to be appointed to preserve or
der. It was expected that the
son, Norville Williamson, would
go on the stand and make a con-
fession. but he did not. The chief of
police, however, took the stand and
detailed the confession the boy made
to him, in which he accused his father
of killing Leonard. on the night of
November II, with gas pipe. The
motive for the murder was to secure
SIS, 600 insurance which Leonard had
on his life.

WAR IN SIGHT.
Great Britain's Position on
Venezuelan Question.
She Utterly Refuses to Arbi-
trate the Matter.
FIGHT OR BACK DOWN.
Serious Issue Raised Between
England and America.
A Special Message from the
President Expected.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-There is rea-
son to believe that the president was
aware before his message went to
Congress that Lord Salisbury's re-
spouse to Ambassador Bayard's repre-
sentatioEl touching the Venezuelan
boundary dispute would be unfavora-
bic, but the fact was probably with
held from Congress, because that por-
ton of the message relating to Vene-
zuela had already been completed, and
the President desires to make it the
subject of a special communication
that will give the matter the impor-
lance 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
Pr esident. He has in his note of in
structions to Mr.. Bayard simply car
ried the express wish of Congress as
exhibited in the resolution adopted
toward the close of the last session.
He has presented the issue plainly and
Invested it of all of the extraneous
issues that were thought to be included
by the British government. The ques-
ton of a claim for PREPARATION for the
arrest of British officials by the
Nenezue1ars, being regarded by
Vic l OS10GAG DIS OlTSCJly OCRGAO0hG
upon the main question of the
solu ttion of the boundary disute, was
not allowed to complicate the issue,
nor was the attempt to assert juris-
diction over the best part of the land
claimed, namely, that lying eastward
of the shifting Schomburg line. Hav-
ing received a negative reply to his
direct inquiry whether or not Great
Britain was prepared to submit to
arbitration all the territory in dis
pute, for there can be no doubt
that the president has been informed
by cable of the nature of the COM
munication coming by mail, there
remains for him but one course,
namely, to submit the matter to Con-
gress for its further direction. Beyond
this point the President cannot go
alone, for, to be consistent. he would
be obliged to notify the British gov
eminent that any encroachment upon
Venezuelan soil would be regarded by
the United States as hostile act, and
that is so perilousy close to an open
declaration of war that it might be
construed as an infringement upon
the constitutional power of Congress.

REFUSE MEDICINE
Dying Negroes Hurried to Death by Super

stitious Obsttnacy.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. "Details
of the reported wholesale poisoning of
negroes near Texarkana were received
here yesterday. Up to the present
time twelve deaths have occurred and
as many more are in precarious con-
dition. The negroes of the community
are superstitious aud ignorant and do
not believe that the deaths are the re-
suit of poison or any disease, but that
lit is a pestilence visited upon them
by God. So strong is this belief fas-
tened upon them that they refuse to
take medicine and will not receive
treatment of any kind at the hands of
the physicians The doctors say that
the deaths are the result of Ia grippe
in virulent form, and that there has
been no poisoning. The disease is
spreading and unless the negroes can
be induced to take medicine many
more deaths are likely to occur before
the epidemic is checked.

firm reply. He then stated that it
was hardly worth while to break up
prospective profitable theatrical en-
gagement to fight Fitzsimmons-
Stuart now declares he will match
Maher against Fitzslmmons and hopes
to force Corbett to fight the winner.
By the articles of agreement pre-
scented by Stuart, he promised to put
the entire purse in the hands of a re-
sponsible person and in case he failed
to pull off the battle the entire amount
was to go to the pugilists-
