dents Mes age-It Was n Hard Blow on
 British Prlde-England in a Dilemma.
 London, Dec. 1S.-The Marquis of Salisbury held the usual Wednesday re- ception at the foreign office to-day. The French, German, Italian and Spanish ambassadors and the Arerian and Dutch charges daffaires were present. Urited States Ambassador Bayard was absent. It is understood that the Brit ish government has not been informed officially of President Clevelands mes sage in regard to the proposed com mission in connection with the Venezu- ela boundary dispute, and that Great Britain will follow the usual diplomatic course until overt action is taken by the United States. The action of the house in voting an appropriation for the expenses of the commission may hasten a crisis, but it is not expected that there will be serious developments until the commission shall have arrived in Vene- zuela. Their presence on the ground will constitute a grave menace, and the necessary instructions will be forward ed to the authorities to maintain the interests of Great Britain in Guiana.
 Paris, Dec. 1S.-The bourse here was somewhat affected to-day by President Cleveland's message on the Venezuelan boundary question. While the opera tors did not believe that war would re- suit between England and the United States the feeling being that England would save her dignity without extreme measures being resorted to, it was thought, nevertheless that the fraction between the two countries would pro- duce regrettable consequences.
 Rome, Dec. 1S.-Some alarm was felt on the bourse here to-day as to the re- lations between England and the Unit ed States.
 Berlin, Dec. 1S.-The message of Pres ident Cleveland in regard to the diff ference with England in connection with the Venezuelan boundary trouble alarmed the operators on the bourse here
 Vienna, Dec 1S.-The Vienna bourse, which has been unsteady since the re- cent crisis was greatly affected by the message sent to congress by President Cleveland in reference to the boundary question.
 Berlin, Dec 18.-The Vossische Zeit- ung in commenting on President Cleve- lands message on the Venezuelan ques- tion says that the presidents sharp tone against England and his emphasiz- ing the Monroe doctrine will attract the attention of other powers.
 10 National Taitl1rl cavc. p1danacc towards unliked countries is the rule when presidents reseek office. As the Washington government claims excu- sive rights in the matter of arbitrating American affairs the whole arbitration claim becomes a pure farce, as is also the demarcation commission.
 The Boersen Courier says that Eng land first haughtily treated the Alaba ma claims, but was afterwards obliged to accept arbitration on the question, and that established a precedent.
 The Boersen-Zeitung says: President Cleveland's answer leaves nothing to be desired in it's outspokenness. Eng land will begin to comprehend that America is no longer a field for Eng fish expansion. MT. Cleveland appears to intend purposely to offend other pow CTS, but it must be remembered that the elections in the United States are near.
 The Lokalanzeiger says that the mes sage is purposely aggressive and will make 8 friendly solution of the question harder than ever.
 The Freisinnige Zeitung- says that President Cleveland's aggressive tone >1a l. tn sn1,in politicians like playing with fire. The paper expresses the hope that such a trifie as the dispute between Great Britain and the United States in rela- tion to the Venezuela boundary will not lead to war.
 Paris, Dec. 18.-EX-Premier Goblet to- day said, with reference to President Cleveland's message to congress re- garding the Venezuelan dispute. that he considered the presidents pretensions absolutely novel in the annals of dip- lomacy. On the other hand, he express ed regret that England had refused to submit the boundary question to arbit- ration. During my ministry" said M. Goblet, "France gave an example, by submitting her dispute with Holland regarding French Guiana to the arbit- ration of Russia and accepting without hesitation the decision, which was ad verse to her"
 "As regards the Monroe doctrine, con tinued the ex-premier, q can only say that it appears to be absolutely unac- ceptable to Europe"
 Paris, Dec. 1S.-M. Lucien Levoye, a member of the chamber has an article in La Patrie, in which he says:
 President CIeveland's message in- flicts a harder blow on British pride than it has received in a century. It will diminish England's prestige in all parts of the world. England must un- dertake an ultra-formidable adventure or bow to the Americans naughty ulti- matum. Since Napoleon threatened to invade England no chief of state has dared to use toward the British foreign office such firm language as that of MT. Cleveland's. England is in a dilemma. Submission is equivalent to humiliation and resistance is equivalent to war, an implacable duel with all the energy and the moral and material forces which America has at is disposal. including the Irish whom Englands iniquitOus rule has exiled to the new world. Flu rope will not intervene. It would not dare to brave an American coalition
