War Clouds in Europe.

London, Nov. 1.-The political hori
ION is Obscured by dark clouds and
the atmosphere is charged with the
electricity of threatening war. The
advices received from all parts are of
a very pessimistic character and the
situation has besn further cOmpli-
Gated by the report which has just
reached here of the firing by Vene-
zulan coast guard on the MyOsotis, a
vessel flying the British flag, off the
Island Of Trinidad and the killing of
her commander, Thomas Garcia.
The general opinion expressed in
official circles here is that if the Euro
pean powers tide over the present
crisis without coming to hard knocks
in some part of the world, it will be a
matter for sincere congratulation and
a decided triumph for the diplomacy
of peace seeking nation.
Naturally, in view Of the alarming
rumors circulating everywhere, the
European bOurses have been badly
affected, ald, as a result, there has
been general slump" in intsrna-
tional securities. The newspapers

A settlement has been effected that
will RESULT in the withdrawal from the
United States circuit court of the
$685. paid Judge Jas. E. Lincoln as
the result Of the DR.. Fraker insurance
swindle. The money was paid to
Judge Lincoln as trustee of the sup
posed heirs to Fraker. Judge Lincoln
and the relatives Of Fraker who have
been benefited by the swindle, have
offered to surrender all of the $3j, 900,
save the few thousand dollars which
Judge Lincoln had paid out as incl
dental expenses in settling the estate.
This offer has been accepted and
the insurance companies will be paid
back at least 50 per cent Of the
money. The companies interested
are the Kansas Mutual Life of Tope-
ka. Kan; the Hartford Life & An
nuity; the Provident Saving of Provi-
dence, R. l., and the Knights of
PythiaS and Modern WOOdmen. The
Equitable Life association which also

here are trying tOput a bold front in
the face of what is labelled danger
OuS' by even the most conservative
people, but there is no getting away
from the hard fact that Great Britain
is more than likely to find herselfin a
state of freezing isolation. In the far
east her diplomats have been boldly
aud cleyerly outmaneuvred by those
of Russia and 10 the Armenian Ques-
ton it is feared that Russia and
France are more than prepared to
leave her IN the lurch when it suits
them,
Regarding the situation in the far
east, in the highest political circles in
England, as well as among the Euro
psan powers generally no doubt exists
'r&at extensive concessions in Manchu-
ria have been given by China to Rus
STA.
Recent expressions in American
publications Of the good will of the
United States toward Great Britain
have, in view of the dangerous situa-
ton of affairs, been a source Of much
comfort and the same may be said Of
the attitude of the United States
toward the Armenian question.
Madagascar, too, promises to open
up troublesome problem in the fea-
ture in view Of the nature Of the
French prOtectorate, which is framed
so as to relieve the French govern
ment of any liabilities for the debts to
foreign creditors hitherto contracted
by Madagascar. The Spectator to-
day, referring to Madagascar, says:
at seems probable that Frances new
acquisition will cause fresh troubles
in Europe"
The steady and old established Sat-
urday Review takes an alarming view
of the eastern situation, saying:
"We are face to face with the fact
that Russia intends to sieze as much
of northeastern China as she can as
simulate, while France is resolved to
extend her empire from Siam into
southwest China, and this division Of
territory, we cannot allow"
