SAILING ORDERS DELAYED.
Postponement of the North Atlantic
SQuadron'S Cruise,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-Secre-
Rear-Admiral Bunce, commanding the
North Atlantic squadron, in regard to the
sailing of that fleet for the West Indies
and nearby South American waters. The
admiral was at the department Thursday
to receive verbal instruction preparatory
to the sailing of his ships, but owing to
the absence of the Secretary in New York
failed to get them. He was notified, how
ever, tc meet the latter to-day for confer
ence. In the meantime, as suspicion
would likely attach at this juncture to the
sailing of the squadron for the vicinity OF
the Venezuelan coast, Secretary Herbert,
of course, consulted with the President as
to the best line of action to be adopted.
The interview between the Secretary and
while, the latter having come on
from Fortress Monroe, his squadron being
anchored in Hampton Roads. The ad-
miral was originally given sailing orders
for Saturday last, but they were sutse-
quently amended, and it is learned to-
night that the time of the departure is in
deicite.
The present composition of the fleet will
be augmented by the addition of the
Maine ard possibly the Texas, both battle
ships AS the Texas will have to undergo
another trial trip and the Maine is not yet
fully provisioned, it can be seen that the
sailing of the squadron will not be for
some time.

SCHOMBERGK' CAREER.
Formerly a Clerk in Philadelphia
and Boston Stores,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-An in
teresting fact in connection with the
famous Schombergk line, which has es-
capped observation, is that the man who
provided the British Government with
that boundary came to this country from
Germany when he was % years old, and
after working some time as clerk In Bos-
ton and Philadelphia became partner in
a Richmond (Va.) tobacco mandatory in
1928. The factory was burned, and Schom-
bergk drifted to the West Indies, where,
after unsuccessful ventures, his botanical
work attracted the attention of the London
Geographical Society, and secured him
means to explore the unknown region of
the Orinoco, where he travelled from 1888
to 1889, when he discovered the Victoria
Regia lily and numerous plants.
This work led the British Government
to commission him to suggest boundary
between Venezuela and Guiana and to
make further explorations. The line was
drawn and he was knighted by the Queen
for bis services.
Schombergk, until his death in 1865, con-
tinued in the British Consular service, but
devoted himself chiefly to geographical
studies, being member of the principal
American and European learned societies.

The Standard, taking it's text from the

unless America abandons its present fall
lacies and dishonesties the day must come
when it will be neither able to borrow nor
pay. This, it adds, would be only an epi-
sode in the history of great people, but
the sufferings of a generation having to
bear the burden would be great and

SOME WARLIKE UTTERANCEs.
Americas Defense of Weaker Nation
Not Without Champions in
the Church.

LONDON, ENG, Dec. 22.-The Rev. Mr..
Waller, president of the Wesleyan confer
ence, preaching at Liverpool to-day, said
that every lover of their kindred would
strive to avert war which would be un-
natural, monstrous and wicked.
The Archdeacon of London, preaching
at Canonbury, said that for the branches
of the Anglo-Saxon race to plunge into a
war for such a cause would seem to be a
disaster whose magnitude, compared with
the slightness of the occasion, removed it
from the region of responsibility. A give
and-take policy. he added, would soon set.
tie the difficulty.
Canon Newbolt, preaching at ST. Paul's
to-day, deplored the fact that the peace
and good will of kindred nations had been
disturbed in the Christmas season, but he
thanked God that the spirit of truth. and
honor animated both. This was the best
pledge of a just and amicable settlement.
The Rev. Hugh Price Hughes in the
course of his sermon at st. James Hall
said that the two most distressing specta-
cles for any lover of peace were the Sultan
of Turkey and Mr.. Cleveland. The latter
bullied Great Britain and rudely threat
ened her with war, but awful as a conflict
was to contemplate, he hoped that those
answerable for the conduct of the Nations
affairs would not allow him to dictate
where the frontiers of the British Empire
ended and began.
At the Tabernacle the Rev. Thomas
Spurgeon prayed that the Almighty's 8
hand would guide the statesmen of both
countries and that he would endow them
with wisdom and patience to bring the
trouble to happy issue. The prayer was
greeted with fervent amens.

FEARS OF A PANIC.
London Brokers Anticipate Crisis
OF the Exchange.

LONDON, Eng, Dec. 22-The rate of
discount during the past week for both
three months and thirty days bills was
per cent. The crisis doubtless accentu-
ated the ease of the money market. The
outlook is regarded as exceedingly uncer
tain, and few persons ventured to prophesy
what the outcome would be. Silver was
somewhat improved on the week, but fell
yesterday on American selling.
AS reported in the daily cable dispatches
of The United Press the market for Ameri-
can railway securities was demoralized
following the receipt of the Presidents
Venezuelan message to Congress, but yes
terday there was a more hopeful feeling in
some quarters. The prices of these Sc
curities recovered somewhat during the
week, but they were not sustained at the
close. The other markets closed better on
an improvement in the price of consols.
This advance was taken as an indication
that in influential circles it was considered
that there had been q lessening in the
political tension. There was, however, a
feeling among those looking beneath the
surface that there was possibility of a
| worse crisis here than that which followed
the Barring failure, unless there should be
an improvement in the political situation.
This crisis, should it occur. will be due
not alone to the decline in the prices of
| American railroad stocks, but to the fall
| ing off in the values of American railroad
| bonds, which are not only held by private
persons in England, but by insurance
companies and similar institutions. AS
pointed out in these dispatches yesterday
these bonds are already unstable here.
On the whole, it can be said that the
market closed with a more hopeful feeling.

equate financial legislation.
He has become convinced that no legis-
lation can receive the assent of Congress,
or at least not such legislation as the
emergency demands, and that Congress is
more concerned in playing politics than it
is in protecting the country. Under the
circumstances there is only one thing left
open to him.
Mr.. Cleveland holds it to be his duty to
protect, at all hazards, by every means in
his power, the gold reserve, so as to save
the country from Reputation and going to
silver basis. He is firmly resolved to do
this at any cost, and to carry out his pur-
pose he will exhaust every means placed
in his ha nds by law.
To replenish the gold reserve in the
absence of further legislation he can do
only one thing and that is to sell bonds.
This will be done, and to-day or tomorrow
the negotiations which have been pending
during the last few days will be concluded.
The utmost secrecy in regard to the new
bond issue has been maintained, and at
the present time not a dozen persons, IN
cluding the members of the cabinet know
of the White House conference yesterday
afternoon or the important decision which
was reached at the meeting of the Presi-
dent and few of his advisers.

Mr.. Jones was held up at the corner of
Maple and State streets and robbed. He
was knocked down and thrown into a
wagon and driven to the lake, where he
was dumped into three feet of water and
left. He was revived bv the cold water
and managed to get to the shore, and
afterward managed to stagger couple OF
blocks from the lake, where he was met
by policeman, who, after hearing his
story, called an ambulance and sent him
to his home at 349 Dearborn avenue, where
he now lies. 1t is expected that he will
recover in spite of serious injuries. There
is as vet no clew to the robbers.

TESTING NEW GUNS.
Ordnance Board Pleased With the
briggs. Schroeder TYpe.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.--The re-
ports of the ordnance board, charged with
conducting tests of four-inch rapid-fre
guns submitted for acceptance by the
army, have been received by the chief of
ordnance, and show that two of the guns
tested burst during their trials. The other
gun presented - that of the briggs
Schroeder type-stood the test well, and as
a result Of its inspection the ordnance
board reports that the gun has shown itself
to be simple, safe and efficient mechan-
ism for rapid-fre gun of this character.
In the rapidity test the total time for the
twenty-five rounds fired was minutes and
"a seconds.
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-23

"Sober Second Thought" will discuss the
situation in that light. 1t will say:
at would be improper and ungenerous
to attribute the change of opinion to the
chilling influence of financial panic on a
people so seIf-reliant and courageous as
the United States. They would never be
turned from any supreme object of pa
triotic effort by misgivings respecting their
own power. No American can have
stronger belief than we IN the potency of
the great country and its people. 1t is be-
cause we so strongly elieve in the power
and will of the American people that we
rejoice in their rapid change of opinion. +"
The paper then proceeds to blame Mr..
Cleveland, and says that the sooner his
language is forgotten the better it will be
for all parties, including himself The
commission, it adds, will be regarded, not
as an international tribunal, but as form
of domestic inquiry, designed for the bet
ter information of the American people
and their rulers. Itmay be positively USE
less. Its very appointment is in one sense
an admission that the State Department
believes that the Venezuelan claims are
exaggerated, and that further action could
not wisely be taken until Washington dis
covered some irmer basis for negotiations
than the shifty statements of the little
military despot at Caracas. 1t adds that
there is every reason to believe that three
Americans of credit and standing would
propose very different line of demarca
tion from Venezuela.
The Times will tomorrow say: "Although
the reaction may not yet be triumphant,
1t is satisfactory to find that the Ameri-
cans, whether they dislike us or not, are
hesitating to incur the guilt of breaking
the peace of the civilized world for such
contemplate cause and in vlndication of
claims repudiated by all the nations of the
Old World. President Cleveland's mani
fest incapacity to understand the effect of
what he was doing when he sent such
warlike message to Congress has shattered
the confidence felt in him as a pillar of
sound finance and mainstay of the pub
lie credit. The renewal, therefore, of his
proposals of currency reform, after be
himself has made them impossible, has
dashed the hopes of his friends and set his
opponents to work to turn his errors to
account. 1t is now clear that Mr.. Cleve-
lands financial proposals have no chance
at all of passing.
Deeply as we must regret that the con-
troversy has arisen. we can. at all events,
rejoice in the demonstration it has
afforded of the unity of our national senti-
ment. especially the attachment of our
Canadian fellow subjects of the crown.

Senator F. W. Mott, R. E. Balm and John

A real man-of-war will be towed from
the Atlantic and anchored in the Missis-

Gulf coast.
An annual appropriation of $4,000 is
made by Congress for the support Of naval

the men-of-war, guns, ETC., and for any
additional support the companies are ex-
pected to solicit aid from merchants and
others interested. The promoters of the
