The Venezuela Boundary Dispute

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The st. james Ga.
zette says the ultimatum to Venezuela
makes no reference to the boundary
question, which England declines to
regard as unsettled, but simply deals
with the matter of the arrest of the
British inspectors in regard to which
Lord Salisbury informed the Venezue-
Ian government that if proper repars-
ton should not be given within spec
fled time Great Britain would hold
herself at liberty to seek it by other
means. The measures taken will
doubtless be instructions to seize the
Venezuelan ports and collect the GUS
toms duties.

GOVERNOR O'FERRALL is a firm be-
lever in the erroneous idea that wise
man changes his opinions, fool never;
70. he has been in turn repudiator, a
readjus5er, a greenbaeker, silyerite,
and is now in favor of Sound money"
But as he has reached the right ground
at last, the steps by which he got there,
and the numerous changes that have
come over the spirit hisdreams, need
not be inquired into.

Terrible Suicide.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Mary Callahan,
the mother of FIVE children ranging from
4 to years old, committed suicide this
morning at her home in Williamsburg.
She got out of bed at l o'clock and
taking her husbands razor cut her
throat in the presence of her five chill
dren. Before slashing her throat Mrs.
Callahan walked up all of her children
and taking them in her arms one by
one kissed them good bye. The screams
of the children when they saw their
mothers mad act aroused the neighbors
and they ran in only in time to find
the woman dead on the floor in a pool
of her own blood. The husband is
said to have been out of work for six
months and was not at home. 1t is
said that the family was on the verge
of starvation.

DOUBLE SU1cIDE.-A great sensation
was caused in Vienna yesterday in mil
itsry and other circles by murder and
suicide committed by an old soldier
who had served his Emperor and
country with much distinction. The
suicide was Lieut.. Gen. Gustav Dunst
Won Adelsheim, aged seventy-two
years, who, in 1879, was retired from
the army on pension. The murder
ed person was his wife, aged fifty years.
Their bodies were found lying under
tree in the Prater, the great park in
the environs of Vienna. Both had
been shot with a revolver, which was
found close to the general. Apparent
ly, the general had despatched his wife
and then killed himself. A note was
found in one of his pockets reading {:
"We quit life voluntarily" Their self
destruction is attributed to financial
troubles.

THE LABOR strikes in New York
City during the past few years are esti-
mated to have cost the workers, whom
they were intended to benefit, over
seven million in wages, which is twice
the amount they cost the employers.
The latter have various means by
which to recoup, but the former
haven't one, and, besides, have, and
only naturally, lost the friendship of
such employers as took them back,
and will always be the first to lose
their places when discharges become
advisable. In addition to the loss in
wages, the strikers, all of whom belong
to unions, are subject to no little ex-
pense by assessments to maintain their
organizations and to support their of.
fcers and walking delegates in idleness.
But strikes will go on.

THE EPIsCoPALIANs

In the house of deputies of the Epis
copal General Convention in Mime
apolis yesterday, Dean Hoffman re
ported that the house of bishops had
receded from their choice of the word
Synod" instead of convention and had
agreed to give up the "primate'
nomenclature. With these concessions
the house adopted article 1 of the
revision, and that much is settled
without further consideration by the
new constitutional revision committed
The resignation of W. R. Huntington,
of New York, from the revision com.
mittee was accepted and Rev. DR..
Morgan Dix, of New York, was elected
in his stead.
The committee on new dioceses
reported that there were some consti.
tutional questions involved in the
request of the missionary jurisdiction
of Northern Texas to be erected into q
ciocese and recommended that the
matter be referred to the proper COM
mittee. This may prevent action being
taken until the next convention.
The committee reported favorably on
the petition for the erection of the
missionary district of Asheville out OF
the western part of the present diocese
of North Carolina. The report was
unanimously concurred in.
A lopg list Of memorials to deceased
members was read and devotional
exercises were held.
The bishops have before them an
amendment to the canons which pro-
vides that between the sessions of the
convention the house of bishops shall
have power not only to elect bishops to
fill vacancies, but also to fill new posi-
tions.
The bishop of Alabama resigned
from the commission on Christian
unity.
The question concerning Swedish
orders was postponed until 1898, and
the joint commission on the provincial
system was continued.
To-day the bishops pastoral will be
read. 1t is the bishops address to the
church and the world, aud will distin-
guish the closing hours of the conven-
ton of 1895, which will adjourn this
evening.

The Philadelphia Record says
"About the worst waste of space in the
newspapers nowadays is occasioned by
the Presidential third term discus
sion." Yes, and that too, though it
could all be stopped at once by one
single word from Mr.. Cleveland. Why,
Kings and Emperors are not too ex-
allied to talk to their subjects, and Mr..
Cleveland, himself, has talked to the
people of the United States on matters
less important than the next Presi-
dency; and if he will not accept q
fourth nomination, why he can't say so
is hard to tell. Notwithstanding the
alteration he receives from the cuckoos,

THERE ARE no more vehement
shriekers for ''free vote" than the re-
publicans of Massachusetts and Pennsyl-
vania. And yet, in the former, an edu-
cational qualification is imposed upon
suffrage, and in the latter, no man can
vote who has not paid his poll tax, or
had it paid for him by somebody else.
Under the election law of Virginia, on
the contrary, there is not only no quail
ifcation upon suffrage, but q sworn
officer is stationed at every polling
booth to assist voters who cannot read
and write in the preparation of their
ballots. But, all the same, the Cry is
kept up in the two Northern republican
States referred to, that there mast be q
Stree vote" in the South. In Phila-
delphia alone. the city employees have
been assessed twenty thousand dollars
to pay the poll tax of people who will
vote the republican ticket next month.

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. %, 1895.

No MATTER under whose Jurisdiction
jackson City may be, there is no doubt
thatthe authorities of the District of
Columbia have supreme and undisput-
ed control over the Long Bridge and
the reclaimed flats of the Potomac adj
Joining that bridge. And yet the "law-
les ;ness" that exists and the murders
and robberies committed on that bridge,
and on those flats, render the passage
thereof at night as dangerous as that of
Hounslow Heath used to be, and have
become SO notorious that even the anti
Alexander's Island and pro.St. Asaph
race track newspapers of Washington
cannot overlook them. Those papers
therefore should '.let up" on the al
legged lawlessness of Alexandria county,
and use their utmost endeavors to
secure the observance of law and the
preservation of order within the limits
of the jurisdiction of their own city.
Governor O'Ferrall also, on his return
from Atlanta with his military escort,
and before he writes his message to the
legislature, in which, it is said, ne will
devote much space to the alleged law
lessness of this county, should be in
formed that all of that lawlessness, if
there really be any, is due to people
who come from and who live in Wash
ington, and also, that the proprietors
of the race track near Jackson City, be-
ing reasonable people, are more in
terested upon the observance of the
law near those tracks than any body
else, as lawlessness there deters people
from attending the races, and con-
sequently diminishes their receipts.

FOREIGN COMPLICATIONS.

The press dispatches from Wash
ington during the past week have
been filed, if not with rumors of wars,
at least with rumors Of foreign COM
plications that in some contingency
more or less remote might lead to
wars. Among the foreign powers
with which the United States is known
or supposed to be involved in more
or less serious diplomatic trouble are
Great Britain, France, Germany,
Spain, Belgium, and Hawaii. To go
into details with regard to all the
the matters that have led to these
complications would more than fill
our columns. The substance of the
various grounds of grievance will be
found in our news summary and in
the editorial comment reproduced
from various newspapers. If we ac-
cept the views of one group of papers,
representing all parties and no party,
we must conclude that the status of
our relations with these various for
eign countries is extremely grave, in
some cases close upon the verge Of
war while if we accept the views of
another group Of papers, likewise re-
presenting all parties and no party,
our fears are at once calmed, and we
find in !'jingoism" a sufficient ex-
planation of the heated dispatches
and editorials. Doubtless the truth
is to be found somewhere in the
middle ground between these two ex-
tremes.
One fact, however, is noteworthy.
The cable dispatches and the news
papers that come to us from the for
eign countries with which we are sup
posed to be on the verge of war, bring
no evidence of corresponding war
like spirit in the press and in official
circles in those countries. Even the
latest weekly London letters to the
New York Times and Tribune, which
might be expected to reflect such hos
tile spirit if it existed in England, are
absolutely silent upon this matter
not a word about either Nicaragua or
Venezuela.-PubIic Opinion.
