that trade would flow on north and south lines instead of east and west.
 Another of the South American repre- sentatives was disposed, in view of the United States in past years, to await the sober second thought of the people in regard to the message.
 He thought he should like to hear what Senator Sherman 0he new chairman of foreign relations) said about the readi- ness of the United States to go to war about Venezuela, where it's interests were so small compared with what they prom ised to be in Nicaragua and Cuba. His opinion was that Great Britain would recede behind the Schomburg line in the British claim and that the United States would not resort to force in the attempt to compel her to do so. He thought, how ever, that Lord Salisbury would very promptly concede the remainder of the Venezuelan contention, and that the United States would secure Venezuela $ acquiescence in that boundary.

covernor stone's Opinion.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 1.-The southern Associated Press correspondent called on Governor Stone this evening and asked his opinion on President Cleveland $ message to congress on the Venezuelan matter. The governors reply was in sup stance as follows:
 II am not prepared to be interviewed on the subject, having just read the mes sage very hurriedly, but will say l am heartily in favor of enforcing the Mon roe doctrine. l am not posted as 10 whether or not it's principles are involved in the controversy between Great Brit ain and Venezuela, but suppose the pres ident and Secretary Olney are"
 Governor Stone is a staunch friend ana sunnorter of the president in most other matters and is doubtless ready to back him up in this, as are all other Mississip- plans, though they are not spelling for a fight.

American Diplomats Delighted.

Washington. Dec. 17.-The diplomatic representatives of the American repub- Hes in Washington were highly elated over the presidents message and nearly all of them cabled coplous extracts or the document to their respective govern ments Ever since the Corinto affair they had been somewhat Respondent over the supposed indisposition of the Tinted States to resist foreign aggres- sions of the American continent, but to- day they could not find language ade- o,late to express their admiration for President Cleveland's forcible utterances, particularly as to the possible resort to other competition than those in the arts of peace None of the American minis ters of charge d'affaires, however. con sented to speak authoritatively for thelr governments in the absence of lnstruc- tions. nor would any be led into public interview on the subject.

The Treasury Don't Want War.

Washington Dec 1.-The opinion is expressed in treasury circles that the presidents message to congress today on the Venezuelan boundary question will have the effect of causing the return by English holders of American securities and stocks for sale and thus further de- pleting the treasury gold reserve, as gold would have to be sent abroad in pay ment of them.

MEANS A REVOLUTION.
Process for Making Tubular Forms From
 Hot Metal Ingots.

Washington, Dec. 17.-An epoch in the process of metal working as indicated in the judgment of United States Consul General Mason at Frankfort in the devel- opment in Germany of a process of mak- ing tubular forms directly from a hot metal ingot, confined in a mold, into which suitable shaped steel mandrel is driven by hydraulic pressure.
 The process is so much superior to tu- bular forms as ordinarily constructed and is so economical that the German government has required all steel shells for guns to be made in this way. Cannon tubes up and beyond inches caliber are cheaply and speedily produced. Copper tubes of ordinary sizes and any length up to 20 feet. and any desired thickness, are turned out, and Mir. Mason predicts that the new process will revolutionize ma chinery construction in making it pos sib1e and economical to substitute tubes for solid axles. shafting. driving rods and other parts.

by the throat and choked it whenever the
occasion demanded.
There was only standing room in the hall.
