the most important question in foreig gn
politics at the present time is the boun-
dary dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela, which brought forth warn
ing note to the former from the United
States. Great Britain, however, appears
to have sent an ultimatum to Venezuela,
and there is some talk of guns and mill.
tary operations at the instigaton Of the
British secretary of state for the colon
les, Joseph Chamberlain, who is said to
be working in perfect accord with the
Marquis of Salisbury.
Summed up briefly, the attitude of the
English towards Venezuela is one OF con-
scious righteousness and calm serenity.
1t is everywhere accepted here that the
British claims are perfectly justified and
complete confidence in the frmness of
the government Is expressed. Hints
have been thrown out for some time
past that the Marquis of Salisbury will
stand no nonsense from the Venezuelan
government, and consequently the an
nouncement of the st. James Gazette to-
day that the premier bad sent an uti-
matum to Venezuela caused but little
surprise and was generally regarded as
an ordinary incident of "strong con-
servative policy" of which there have
been previous examples by the present
government. the notifications to China
and Ashantee being forerunners of the
present dispatch. AS in the case of
Nicaragua every body expects this last
ultimatum will have the desired effect
without the necessity of a recourse 10 the
arbitrament of arms.
The possibility of active Intervention
on the part of the United States, which is
recognized as being the most serious side
of the dispute, is discussed by the Times,
but Englishmen profess to believe that
the Monroe doctrine is only sort OF a
bluff which needs only to be met with u
firm attitude. 1t is generally believed
that the British colony of Guiana is in
bad way and that her salvation lies in
exploiting the gold fields which are in
the disputed area.
The war office has been inundated with
applications from officers who are desir-
Gus OF serving in the believed to be ap-
preaching Ashantee campaign, but moth
ing will be done until October 31st. when
Great Britain's ultimatum takes effccrt.

THE SWITCHMEN'S UNION
Business Is Concluded and the Conyen-
tion Is Adjourned
The Question Of q Strike to Be Submitted to
Ballot and Action Taken
Accordingly

OMAHA, Oct. 19.-The convention of
the Switchmen's Union of North Amer
lea adjourned tonight after electing the
following officers:
Grand master, d. D. Sweeney, Jersey
City, reelected.
Vice grand master. John E. Wilson,

Grand secretary-treasurer, John Daugh-
erty, Kansas City, Kan, re elected.

Ottumwa; - Enright, Atchison, Kan. !;
- Lash, Saginaw, Mich.
1t was decided that the next annual
national convention should be held ut
Pittsburg.
The grand lodge headquarters will re-.
main in Kansas CITY. In the constitution
has been incorporated mutual insurance
but the taking of insurance is optional
though that was not determined until
after much discussion.
The question Of strikes was leading
feature of the discussion. 1t was decided
to settle it thus: When grievance arises
it is laid before the grievance com mittee
OF the local lodge, and then if it is not
possible for the local grievance committee
to get satisfactory settlement, the wrong
is referred to the officers of the union, who
confer with the officials who have the
power to right the wrong. Should the
wrong be of a serious nature and the
officials unwilling to do anything, the
grievance committee of all the lodges
may be called upon to consider the mat
ter. Should they advise striks then
they hold balloting. in which every
member OF the union on that system
shall vote either for or against. Should
the voting be for strike then the
officers are ordered to declare strike.
