says:
The dispute between Great Britain
and Venezuela Will now assume quite

Monroe doctrine will not apply, and

without the support OF the United
States
In previous dispatches reports have
been circulated that for some weeks
Venezuelan gunboats had been cruising
along the coasts Of the Spanish main
and In British waters. Off the island Of
Trinidnd, one of the islands forming
the group of the British West Indies;
that complaints had been lodged with
the colonial government as to the I'LL
warrantable interference by the Vene-
zuelan gunboats with British vessels
trading In these waters. and to the fact
that British ships had been fired upon,
the crews owly0scapins with life.
while the sails had been rent in places
by the shots from the Venezuelan cruis-
ers.
People here have been startled In

mander named f'ilbert. on board n
Venezuela guartla costa shot down
Thomas Garcia. owner of the British
schooner Myosotis. on board that vessel,
while on voyage from Port Of Spain,
Trinidad, In most unprovoked manner.
The main facts of the occurrence have
been reported 10 the administration at
Trinidad and 4 report on the same is
now on its way to London for the infor-
nation Of the secretary of state for the
colonies and the cabinet.
1t Is generally believed that the mur-
der of Mr.. Garcia is grave misfortune

relations between the two countries, as
it will give England an undoubted ad-

london. Nov. 2.-No improvement ID
noticeable this afternoon In the polltI
cal situation in Europe or in the far
East. Nearly all the English newspa-
pers refer seriously to the political crisis,
the apparent isolation Of Great Britain
and the policy pursued by Russia In the
far East, as well as the future steps
which France may take.
Even the most ber-minded OF the
London newspapers have become alarm
ed, and people here are gradually De-
coming convinced that British diplom-
acy has been out-maneuvered by Russia,
and that in spite Of any denials, the
| latter country has obtained Important
concessions from China, and Is pre-
| pared to stop at nothing In order 10 COM
pel the Japanese to eyacuate Chinese
territory, In accordance with the terms
or the treaty OF peace.
In Armenla, Tire situation grows
more grave, in view Of the spread OF
revolutionary feeling, and the fact that
England Ii liable to be left alone, at
any moment, to deal with the sultan.
and that the latter will then be very un-
likely to carry out reform in Armenia.
In this crisis, some of the English
newspapers are finding consolation IN
the sympathetic utterances found in
certain American newspapers, but there
is no getting away from the fact that
Great Britain Is facing dangerous
crisis, and perhaps the matter can best
be summed up In the following quota
ton from the st. James Gazette this
afternoon. alluding to the danger ahead:
SIT Is such as to make us anxious not
to lose time in getting our naval and
military ornaments in rs complete a
state of efficiency rs tile circumstances
will allow"
Other newspapers take the same view
of the situation, and 1t Is understood
that most important exchanges OF mes
sages have been taking place at the for
eign Office, although the officials there
still profess to believe that the danger
has been greatly exaggerated. The
general opinion. however, Is that Eu
rope may be congratulated IL war shall
be ayerted.

CARRIAGES WITHOUT HORSES.

Results Of tho Recent Test Of Motor
Vehicles in France.
WASHINGTON, July &c. w. Chan.
cellor, United States consul at Havre,
has made q report to the secretary on
the subject Of horseless Carriages, in
which he tells of the recent competi.
tions in France between carriages Of
various kinds of motors other than
horses. The course prescribed vas from
Paris to Bordeaux, a distance of 35s
miles and back, any vehicle which con-
Sumed more than 100 hours on the road
TO DO disqualified. Prizes were offered,
the principal one amounting to 49, 900
francs, for four seated carriages.
The best time was made by q four
seated and a two-seated vehicle. both
propelled by gasoline. They covered
the distance in "a hours and SO min
utes. making about 10 miles per hour.
This record, Mr. Chancellor says, is
considered very c~reditable, in view of
the necessity of climbing long lines of
hills. These hills appear to have
proved too much for the electricity
propelled carriages, only one Of which
got through. The electric carriages
lost time by being compelled to stop
frequently to renew. their dynamic
charges, al did the steam p~ropellers
by stopping for fuel and water, while
the petroleum machines carried sufic-
lent fuel for a "a hour run.
Mr.. Chancellor says the ordinary
feeder is used for short distances in the
petroleum carriages, contains less than
four quarts of oil and this is sufficient
for a journey of 20 miles. He also
mentions q petroleum cycle which en-
tered this race and held its w with
the larger vehicles, and says that the
time will 500 arrive when gasoline
will CONF into general use for propell-
ing bicycles. tricycles and ven four

NICKEL STEEL.

It's Extended Use viii Prove q Source OF
Profit TO Canada.
when nickel steel comes into gen.
eral use for the construction Of vessels,
as it undoubtedly will" said a Cana.
dian gentleman at the Great Northern
the other day, Canada will, in a sense,
control the shipbuilding industry, be-
cause, so far as is at present known,
there is very little nickel outside of the
Dominion, while we have nickel bear
ing pyrites practically without limit.
That whole vast stretch Of territory
reaching from Lake Superior TO Labra-
dor is rich in it and will produce hun
dreds OF thousands of tons of it annual
~ for an unlimited period whenever the
demand requires it.
"How will this control the shipbuild-
ing industry? Why, in this way: 1t has
been demonstrated by conclusive tests at
your proving grounds at Sandy Hook
and elsewhere that stee( mixed with, say,
B per cent of nickel is double the strength
Of ordinary steel. In the construction of
men-of-war the advantage is obvious,
and in building merchant vessels the
benefit to be derived from the use of
nickel steel is equally plain, as it will
enable them to be built much lighter
than they are now, which means less
coal and less engine power with an equal
amount of security and equal amount of
speed. 1t will only be a few years when
. wooden vessel in the port of Chicago
will be something of a novelty and the
new vessels will before very long, for
the reasons indicated, be made of nickel
steel, and this will be the only metal in
demand for the purpose at your great
shipbuilding yards in Cleveland, De-
troit, South Chicago and other points.
"Another advantage which steel hav-
ing nickel in its composition possesses
over ordinary steel is that it will not
corrode and that barnacles cannot get a
foothold on it, so that nickel steel ships
bottom will never require to be scraped. ~

HERE'S ALMAGE
From Highbridge, Ky, to Madison, 8. D.,
Was More than . Days Journey for
the Great Divine-The Bureau
at Fault.

President Williamson this morning
received the following telegram from
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage:
"WAsEcA, Mimi, July 24.-Shearer
knew that preaching at Highbridge, KY,
on Sabbath, and leaving Monday morn
ing I could rot reach Madison, s. D., on
Tuesday. / told him 30, and in addi-
ton telegraphed him last Friday. / re-
gret and deplore this affair. although no
fault of mine. T. DEWITT TALMAGE."
The Shearer above referred to is the
head Of the Shearer L. NJ. Bureau OF
Cincinnati, through whom the manage
ment here engaged DR.. Talmage and
who controls his movements while on
the lecture tour. 1t is quite evident the
bureau has m~iscalculated in this in
stance, and that in spite Of the fact Of
Mr.. Talmage's warning. The bureau
was at least warned in time by him, il it
did not itself know before, to have given
the management here notice to with
draw the TalmHge announcement and
take of the excursion trains, but 1t did
not do it and appears to be clearly cul-
pable and responsible for the whole
mismanaged business. It is we'll the
responsibility for the unfortunate affair
has been definitely located and both Mr..
Talmage and the management here ex.
onerated from all blame.
In reference to a letter published by
the Sentinel this morning as coming
from Mr.. Taluage to Supt. Hseer, dated
Brooklyn, May %, 1895, in which Mr..
Talmage is made to say that he would be
here on the Odd inst, Supt. Hager de-
sires to say that the dates in that letter
are not correctly given, as he only gave
the substance Of the letter from memory
and without date. This correction he
desires to make in justice to Mr.. Tai.
mage, and he holds Mr.. Talmage,
entirely blameless in the matter. The
whole failure is the bungling work tof
the bureau.
