LITTLE EXCITEMENT

London. Dec. 2l.-(Copyrlghted. 1895.
by the Associated Press)-No excite
ment has been manifested here in poll
teal circles over the Venezuelan COM
pEcations. although their effect has
been felt upon the stool; exchange.
There has been some unloading of
American securities. but the cabinet
minlBters are all enjoying the Christ
mas holidays In the country and out
side the utterancos of the newspapers
there Is little to indicate that war Is
apprehended OF course the strained
relations between Great Britain and
the United States have been uppermost
In the public mind, especially during
the latter part Of the week and the
matter which was at first treated
lightly Is now more deeply discussed
ana there are indications that the
gravity of the AFFAIR IL now fully
grasped by the people at large. a
striking fact is that without single
exception If the utterunces of The press
ana the representative men who have
spoken ON the subject can he relied
upon, the whole country stands be-
hind President Cleveland.
In addition to the financial disorder
which has been the first feature Of the
ception OF the war scare here which
deserves special attention, not emily in
England, but in the United States. The
alarming reports circulated nave been
seized upon by the agricultural party
as justification for the demands
which they have recently made en-
the government for a change in the
policy of Great Britain from free ,rade
TO protection.
Mr.. James Lowther, NJ. p. leader of
the protection party. indicates this in
q pointed letter printed in the Times,
and showing the condition Great Brit
ain would be in II her food supplies
from America were stopped.
Mr.. Lowther points out that 90 per
cent. of the British food imports
comes from the United States and he
therefore asks that British agriculture
be protected in order to make this
country ns INDEPENDENT as possible OF
America for food SUPPLIES.
Fears are expressed that tho war
scare will materially assist the agita-
tlpn for protection against American
food imports. although the Stntist to-
day gives utterance TO a grave warn
ing to the public not to be frightened
into supporting import duties upon
wheat, In spite Of such warning, how
ever, there is little doubt that the aRi-
tatlon here In favor of protection will
be further strengthened by belllcose
utterances on both sides Of the ATTAIN
tic ana with strong Conservat tive gov
ernmont in office, II Is thought that
some measure for protection aud fos-
tertng of British hushandry In not un-
likely to be introduced shortly and to
