LONDON. Dec. 23.-Sir A. H. Rollit, Con-
sentative member of parliament, granted
an exclusive interview to a representative
Of the Associated Press on the outlook for
the Venezuelan question. After remark
ing that it was delicate and critical po-
sition, Sir Albert said that in the true
sense Of the Monroe doctrine Great Britain
could not justly be said to desire an ex-
| tension of territory in insisting upon q
recognition of what she believes to be
her just rights. He felt confident that
Americans generally would ultimately
| realize that the course of President Cleve-
land and Secretary Olney was impetuous
and impcrious, and had seriously embar-
rasseG even the most peace-loving Eng
lishmen.
He told OF two instances in which the
London chamber of commerce had offered
to use its influence to secure a satisfactory
settlement of the trouble, the offers hav-
ing been made to the president of the Ven
ezuelan congress in 1891 and 1898, and
been taken no notice of by the Venezue-
lans. Certainly, he said, anything honor
able and not an indignity was preferable
| to war between kindred nations But
Americans must remember that Great
Britain, too, had doctrines and feelings,
| and in the last resort even war might be
preferred to peace. Either nation, how
ever, ought to yield force to right rather
than right to force.
| A dispatch from st. Petersburg says:
'It is easy to see that the Russians can
not help showing satisfaction at the scri-
GUS turn the dispute has taken. The
Novoe Vremya is at no pains to hide its
| real sentiments and animus towards Eng
land. 1t declares that Lord Salisbury has
already radically changed his eastern pol
icy by positively refusing any further sup
port to the Armenian agitation on the
ground that Europe does not sympathize
with Armenia
! Lacouchere, in Truth, regrets the ''bul-
lying" tone of Cleveland, but contends that
England ought to submit the whole bound.
airy question to arbitration. 1.-The Monroe
doclrine has become doctrine of faith
with America" says Labouchcre. PLENTY
of Americans are willing to fight for it. +"
| A striking fact is that without single
exception, if the utterances of the press
and those of the representative men who
have spoken on the subject can be relied
upon, the whole country stands solidly be-
hind the Marquis of Salisbury, as the
United States is understood to stand
solidly behind President Cleveland.

One Point Upon Which the Preacher aud
"Pasan Bob Arc in Harmony.
New YORK. Dec 23-Colonel Robert G.
Ingersoll said concerning the action of
President Cleveland on the Venezuelan
matter: I'm my judgment the president
acted in haste, without thought. 1t may
be that it would have been well enough
for an appropriation for q commission to
ascertain the facts to the end that our gov
eminent might act intelligently. There
was no propriety in going further than
that. To almost declare war before the
facts are known was q blunder-almost a
crime.
For my part do not think the Monroe
doctrine has anything to do with the case
Mr. Olney reasons badly and it is only by
q perversion Of facts and an exaggeration
Of facts and by calling in question the mo-
tives Of England that it is possible to con-
clude that the Monroe doctrine has or can
have anything to do with the controversy.
The president went out of his way to find
q cause Of quarrel.
Nobody doubts the courage Of the
American people, and we for that reason
can afford to be sensible and prudent.
Valor and discretion should go together.
Nobody doubts the courage of England
America and England are the leading ma
tions and in their keeping to a great ex-
tent is the glory Of the future. Fighting
settles nothing but the relative strength
No light is thrown ON the cause of the
conflict, on the question or fact that caused
the war.
''If the members Of congress really rep
resent the people, then there is danger.
But do not believe the people will really
want to fight about q few square miles Of
malarial territory in Venezuela, some
thing in which they have no earthly or
heavenly interest. The people do not
wish to fight for fights sake. When they
understand the question they will regard
the administration as almost insane"

Richmond, who is one OF the largest
dairymen In Virginia, read an interesting
paper, I'm which he gave a somewhat de-

and set forth the merits OF Virginia as
a farming and dairy State. His own farm.

years work. Though born farmer. he
had not started in the dairy business I'M

menced with two cows. The herd and
the farm had grown, he said. until there
were now 800 head OF stock. including
mules and horses. on the place. and he
had a wholesale business that was good
the year round.
Mr.. Chahin gave the following figures
concerning the wholesale price of milk in
the State. Said he: II sell milk at
wholesale. getting IS cents a gallon for
six months for $50 gallons of milk per
day. II cents a gallon for my surplus for
six months, and II cents per gallon for
six months. not to exceed 800 gallons per
day. Labor is cheap in the South. our
people welcome our northern and west
