PROVOKED BY AMERICA.
Why England Sent Her Recent De.
mand to ScncZueIa

mand to Venezuela
NEW YORK, October 22-The London
correspondent of the World cables the fol-
lowing:
LONDON. October 21.-In conversation
tonight with an official of high standing
and intimately acquainted with all the in
side facts of the Venezuelan dispute, /
learned that the ministerial contention
here is that the present decisive action of
the British government was provoked by
tie recent dispatch from the American
State Department. enforcing, in strenuous
terms, the Monroe doctrine in connection
with the question. My informant told me
that to his positive knowledge, at an in
tervieW at which Ambassador Bayard was
communicating the terms of dispatch to
Lord Salisbury, the latter interrupted him
midway with the remark that he need not
proceed further, as the British government
could not even entertain the arguments put
forward, and absolutely declined to recog-
nze such application Of the Monroe
doctrine.
The terms of Lord Salisbury's written re-
ply were practically the same, and in
cluded a complaint of the tone in which
the question had been dealt with in the dis
patch of the American government as in
creasing the difficulties of the situation.
In the same document the State Depart
ment was invited to remember that Eng
land was an American power before the
existence of the United States and her
rights on the American continent, conse-
quently, are anterior to those of the United
States.
Ambassador Bayard, in further COM
inunication to the British foreign office,
pointed out that there is no certainty that
England is right about the Venezuelan
frontier, as in the British colonial office
list, the authorized publication of the colo
rial department, it is stated that the boun-
dares of British Guiana have never been
clearly defined in regard to the parts now
in dispute.
This was an awkward reference for the
British government. but Lord Salisbury re-
piled that the colonial office list not being
an official publication, the British govern

The Man Who Influenced Him.

The point also is made that Mr.. Sherman
has written too much on this subject under
the influence of Warner NJ. Bateman. Mr..
Bateman Is a near relative of Mr.. Sherman,
and was made a delegate at large from
Ohio to the convention in 1850 on that ac-
count. His disappointment was necessar-
lily keener than that of the other delegates
at the failure of the Sherman program,
and the charge is made that he saw things

As she recalled the past, and tried to penetrate the future, smile of supreme satisfaction passed over her honest face as she remembered that her life's work would be pcrpctuatcd.
 The room in which she sat contained hundreds of volumes of records; and, turning to her daughter, she said, -
 My daughter, this room, as you well know, contains the records of my life'S work, in which for many years you have so diligently assisted me.
 "By earnest application you have com passed my methods; and it is a happi- ness to think that when 1 leave, the glorious work will, through you, go on.
 "The mission is q noble ono. Do as l have done: never permit woman's ap- peal to go unhceded.
 These records tell of every case ever submitted to me; and it Is my wish that tEc facts they contain shall in time prove a much needed education to the women of the world"
