FIGHT OR CRAWL.
Venezuelan Matter Seems To be Fur
thCr Complicated.

WASHINGTON. u. c. Dec. ll-Senor An
drair, tho minister from Venezuela TO the
L. s., spent the bes, part Of the afternoon in
company with Sec. Olncy at the lattcr's res
iieuce. While nothing definite is known "a
TO the conference il is fair TO presume that
It was for the purpose oi considering Lord
Salisbury reply TO see. Olney's note. which
Sir Julian Pauncclote handed to the secere-
tar rcceutlv
Venezuela is. Of course. even more inter-
esied IN the matter than is this country, and
il is on Venezuela that the state department
must rely to "a large q, tent TO ascertain
whether the English cOnteLtion Of title to the
territory in dispute is wand, or whether there
is even partial Justification for the English
assertions.
1t is undcrstool that a very complete sylla.
bus of Lord Sa!isOury's reply mas been
cablei by Minister Andrade to his govern
ment for the consideration of Pres CrespO
aud his cabinet, ami that practically no
further step will be taken by the state depart
ment until 1t is ascurtained what view the
Venezuelan government takes OF Lord Sails
burys note.
The dispatch from Caracas that the British
ultimatum ha, arrived az the capital and
that England demands $50, 600 In rcparatiOn
OF outragcs committed on English subjects
in English territory" is regarded rs tending
to comPIicite the situation. See. Oluey has
sugg asted to Minister Andrale that his
government agrees TO deposit the
amouut demanded with some friendly
power the money to be subject to the
decision of the court Of arbitration. II
the arbitrators should 0nd that the attack
upon the British Guiana police was on British
territory the money would then be paid over
without question. but II the decision OF tho
court is in favor OF Venezuela and against
the British claims there would be- no grounds
for damages and the money would be re-
turned to Venezuela.
This is a very adCoit move. 1t puts Nenez-
uela in the position Of being willing 20 arbi-
trate and abide by the decision Of the arbi-
trution, and it also brings matters TO Il head.
If Great Britain refuses the profIerci sugEes-
ton and demands her money within speci-
fed time, the issue will have been squarely
met and somebody must fight or CRAWL.
Venezuela is looking to the uited States
not only lor advice, but expects assistance,
and whatever line of policy is suggested by
the administration viii be pursued by Presi-
dent Crc-po. Mr.. Omey, am told, has adj
yised Minister Aulrldc that the reply 10
Great Britain u,;imutum should b" cuucAei
in respectful language, so that England can
not claim she has brel lH-uited and that
her dignity must be avenged.

Mrs. Smith came down this norm.

Dnrrnh,.. E,nmInntlon,

SAN Francisco, April 2G.-Judge
Conlan's courtroom was again packed
this morning at the resumption Of the
preliminary examination OF Theodore
D%urrant for the murder Of Minnie
Williams.
Elmer a. Wolf was the first wit
/ ness. He testified concerning the
Christian Edeavor meeting Mt DIR
Vogel's house on Good Friday night.
He left Vogel's at l1:3O and escort
cd Miss Lord home. He had come
from his ranch that afternoon at 3
o'clock, made purchases about town,
| dined at a restaurant and went to Vo-
| gels ut S:15.
The witness was severely ros eX-
amined by the defenss. Counsel for
Durrant compared the hats and over
coats of Wolf and Durrant to show
that Wolf might have been mistaken
for Durrnnt. The defense tried to cast
suspicion on Wolf, the same tactics
rs pursued towards Rev. John George
Gibson yesterday. The resemblance
in clothing and in build between Dur.
rant and Wolf was the only point
made.
George r. King, student, organist
at the Emanuel Church and librarian
OF the Sunday school, was the next
witness. He said he had a key to the
library. but not to the side door of the
church, although Durrant had. King
and Durrant had put an additional
lock on the library to make it more
secure. The witness was practicing
on the church organ Friday morning.
He had done some mechanical work
about the church, but did not bring
any tools. as there were some about
the church and Rev. George Gibson
had II hammer and chisel.
Chief of Police Crowley says there
is not Il single fact pointing TO anyone
but Durrant, and Rev. Gibson hns Il
perfect alibi. Crowley said the pc.
lice would p-"sent a stronger case
against Dur mt in the Lamont case
than in the williams murder.
The District Attorney will try the
Lamont case first in the Superior
taking up tho Williams case
subsequently.
