VENEZUELA MAY CAUSE TROUBLE
THE STATE DEPARTMENT DOES
NOT LIKE Kinks
AS THEY LOOK JUST Now-AM-
BAssADoR BAYARD HAS FAILED
TO GET a PROMISE FROM EN-
GLAND TO ARBITRATE THE
BOUNDARY LINE DISPUTE.
wAsnINeroN. AprIl |.


The secretary OF state is very much
concerned today by the Venezuelan
problem. The British sitimatum deliv-
cred to Nicaragua is not a source of
present apprehension, for II is now not
believed that the government will take
any action in attempting to acquire
any territory In that direction or even
to jeopardlze the property OF Americans
in Nicaragua by a bombardment In eff
forts to inforce the collection of an in
demnity demand from Nicaragua. But
in the case of the Venezuelan boundary
dispute there IS much graver cause for
fears. II appears that our ambassador
Mr.. Rayard has not succeeded In IN
duelng the British government TO give
heed to the request submitted by him
by the direction OF congress that the
boundary dispute be submitted to arbl-
tratlon. The British are profuse In
their declaration Of a willingness to ar
bltrate the title to the lands west OF the
Schomberg line, but in view OF the
state department this is a pure evasion
OF the real issue, for there has never
bee any reasonable assertion of Brit
ish right TO this territory, and 1t Is the
territory lying east OF this line that
forms the substance Of contention. The
present situation is believed to be
alarming, as armed bodies OF British
and Nenezuelnns are pressing each
other closely In the disputed territory
and there may be a hostile clash ut any
moment. The administration has been
considering carefully the course to be
pursued In such cases, and It Ia entirely
probable that IL the British persist in
bringing about such a collision through
failure to heed the repeated requests
OF the United States 20 submit the mat
ter 10 a fair arbitration, then the United
States will feel obliged to follow The
moral aid It has given to Venezuela In
this matter by more substantial as
slstance

Prince Bismarck, his family and their
numerous guests. The ladies were
mostly dressed in summer toilets. The
Countess Won Rantzau, daughter of
the prince, who previous to the recep-
ton wore deep mourning, wore a white
dress. and the Countess Herbert and
william Bismarck were similarly at
tired. Several of the gentlemen OF the
Bismarck party were in uniform, but
Count Herbert was in mourning Dress
Prince Bismarck's sister, the Countess
Won Arlm, and her two grandsons We're
also present. At 1850 p. m. the stud
ents' procession was perceived vending
It's way to the castle through the trees,
and when It emerged upon the tri-
angular space under the terrace 1t pre-
scented a striklngly brilliant spectacle,
the sun glistening on the drawn swords
of the students. and displaying TO ad-
vantage the gorgeous gala uniforms
of the vast corps, consisting OF white
breeches and gauntlets and silk and
double vests. Many colored sashes
and caps ornamented with ostrich
feathers were seen. As the students
were marshaled in front of the ter
races on the rising ground to the left
the band played Hell der Siegokranz.'
Prince Bismarck appeared on the ter
race at lao p. m. The crowds about
the castle had been by that time swell
ed to 49, 600 persons. At the moment the
princes stately form was recognized by
the students and the public there arose
a mighty cheer. which reached far and
wide, and the students FLASHED their
swords together in the air.
Prince Bismarck wore cuirasse uni
form and was without cloak. He
raised his helmet and stood bowling
until the cheers had subsidized. The
spokesman of the students deputations,
Bruch, a theological student OF the uni
yersity Of Bonn, then assembled the tri-
bune and conveyed to Prince Bismarck

LOADED WITH VISITORS
Were the Trains Running to Bis
marck's Home Yesterday.

FREDERICKSBURG, April 1.-Beginning
at an early hour this morning trains
arrived here all day loaded with vlsI-
tors from all parts Of the empire de-
sirous of congratulatlng Prince Bis
marclS on his SOth birthday. At IL
o'clock deputation from the zedelitz
curassiers regiment of which the
prince is honorary colonel, arrived in
the castle in order to congratulate him.
The curassiers were followed by n
stream of other Populations, including
one company composed of university
professors and another of senators
from Hamburg. Tubeck and Bremen.
The dispatch OF congratulation which
King Oscar Of Sweden and Norway
sent TO Prince Bismarck alluded to the
latter as the creator Of German unity.
Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria,
was among those who telepraghed
their congratulations TO the prince to-
day. The weather was glorious. BY
o'clock five trains, each bringing
about 1000 persons had arrived from
Hamburg. In addition great numbers
of people flocked here by the various
roads from the surrounding country
The railroad station was hung with
garlands, flags and Chinese lanterns
The students, numbering about 1000
who were timed arrived here at mid
uay nau temporary headquarters at
Hamburg, where at Z o'clocl, I'm the
morning they met at various rallying
places and marched through the streets
to three separate railroad stations,
whence they We're conveyed by special
trains to Aumuchte, near this place.
There the students We're marshalled
and supplied with refreshments after
which they marched to FREDERICKSBURG.
The general public was not admitted
70 tho Qngf1a TnfsHln hn
ton was held. but thousands of persons
gathered In the meadows on the other
side of the stream, overlooking the
gardens. At 1880 o'clock the band OF
the Fourth regiment of foot guards
took up a position In the garden oppo-
site the place and played the
"Hallelujah chorus" from the Messla
and other popular airs. Soon the
strains of "Dei wacht Am-Rhtne" was
heard In the distance announcing the
approach OF the students procession.
The terrace was then occupied by
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1895-04-02

beer was served were also taken by the
students as souvenirs.
During the evening there was a great
torchlight procession. the Sachenwnld
was illuminated and Prince Bismarck
and his affinity watched the proceedings
from the terrace.
Replying to the address of the pro-
fessors of the universities this morning
bismarck said that though he had been
treated with such hostility by political
parties, 1t must not be taken too tragi-
cally. 1t was the way OF the world to
fight, he added. and from the fact that
the people stlll attacked him he con-
Guided tHat his thoughts were not
dedd. The different guuns of Socialists,
Centrists and Poles took It III OF him
for calling them the enemies Of the en-
pire, but he could sustain the truth OF
this remark by saying that theorcti-
oally they might all be well disposed to-
ward the empire. provided the empire
was such as they desired.
Continuing, the prince said It was
to be regretted that the reichstag
Socialists could not Obtain the second
vice presidency, for that would have
shown that the Socialists were not
ripe enough for resolute action.
The empire had to be reckoned with,
and It must be the duty Of all to pre-
serve It.,
1t was not until a very late hour to-
night that the last Of the people Of this
ordinarily quiet place had taken their
departure for their homes. In the early
evening the spectacle at the Bismarck
house and grounds was one OF un-
paralelled beauty. AS soon as dark
ness had set completely, lights began
to burn here. there and everywhere
about the grounds, and the lake in the
rear OF the schloss gave back from Its
dark waters the reflection OF hundreds
of brightly fiaring flames. From every
window of the schloss there cleaned n
light until from the distance the resi-
dence looked to be one glowing mass
of fire. Around about the castle every
resident had entered on the plan 10
make the day and night memorable
and the illumination general. At the
villa of Herr Specht, the famous rose
grower, which is near the castle, TWEEN
ty Venetian masts had been erected in
a seml-circle, and from them flowed
many flags. gayly colored festoons and
innumerable Chinese lanterns. In the
gardens there were 5000 lights. In one
place the light had been SO arranged
that the words "Hoch Bismarck APP
peared in a gigantic blaze OF fire. The
railroad station was also brightly IL
Illuminated.

City Chemist, ST. Louis:

thankful to those princes for having
made sacrifices to the empire which

northern Japan TO serve a life sem
tence. The locality is much like ST.

The unofficial reports Of the sentence
make no reference to the trial or
conviction. 1t is Understood 10 be a
civil trial, as military trial would
have resulted In death. When the ia
panese sumnarily punished those who
attempted the life OF the Russian
crown prince Il raised an agitation In
the japanese parliament, as the gov
eminent was accused OF crowding the
trial and not according the usual rights
of defense In the desire to make
amends to Russih. In the present
case the speed of the trial If accounted
for by the fact that the offense Is re-
garded as one against the government
OF Japan and therefore reasonable.
