LONDON, Dec. ls-In spite OF the
prominence which all the newspapers
give to President Cleyelnnd's message
to Congress on the Venezuelan bound-
ary question, the general public here re-
fuses to get excited or even interested
in the matter. At the hotels, clubs,
railroad stations, etc, the matter is
rarely alluded to, Those who have read
the correspondence resent President
CleVeland's attitude, but the almost In
variable answer to the reporters In
Quiries for an expression Of opinion Is;
"What Is II all about, anyway"
The message, however, Ii being used
by the stock exchange TO hammer
American securities. Consols also de-
cllned; but there was no excitement.
One newspaper remarked:
"The Yankee jobbers are the only
persons Injured by the message and
they have just gound for complaint"
The editorial comments OF the New
York World and the New York Evening
Post on the situation are reprinted here
with approval. as indicating American
opinion Of the situation.
The officials OF the British foreign
office decline TO express an opinion on
the Venezuelan question, and the same.
attitude OF reserve was maintained at
the United States embassy here. United
States Ambassador Bayard arrived at
an early hour looking worried. He de-
cllned TO see anyone, saying that the
matter was much too grave TO discuss.
a dispatch to the Press Association
from Manchester says that President
CIeYeland's message TO Congress on the
Venezuelan question created panic at
the opening OF the stock exchange there.
But, at Manchester, as well as here, o
recovery In prices began at noon.
The radical evening papers take the
most serious view OF the situation.
The Star in double column asks: rs
II war;" Editorinliy, the Star remarks:
ut is difficult TO exaggerata the gravity
OF the situation. The United States
may be assured that EnElishmen, re-
gardlesB OF party, win abide firmly by
Lord sallsbury's claims and viii not
submit to bounce"
Public opinion" says the westmin-
ster Gazette, will unanimously sup
port Lord Salisbury, but II Is pity he
enlarged the dispute and attacked the
Monroe doctrine"
Continuing, the Westminster Gazette
remarks: THE fact is that the present
situation Is the result OF an unfortunate
combination; on one side a foreign Sec
fetary who was once n Saturday Re-
viewer, and who could not avoid the
temptation of scoring in an argument,
and on the other side President who
could not resist the temptation of scor-
Ing In an electoral campaign. But, the
mass Of the people OF both countries re-
gard the possibility OF war on any such
issue with blank incredullty."

vlrginia's representatives In Congress
are unit and in line with public sem
timent In endorsing the American tone
Of the Presidents Venezuelan message.
They were present and voted to-day
for the appropriation OF 100000, which,
so far as the house is concerned, Is Mt
the disposal OF the government to pay
the expense OF q commission OF in-
Qulry.
a garbled extract from Senator FL
klns' expression OF opinion as TO tho
message was sent out last night, and
II placed him In a wrong position. To-
night he authorized the following TO
be sent to the Intelllgencer:
II said the state department had all
needed information and could decide
without a commission, and that unless
the time for the commission TO report
was limited the decision might be de-
layed for year.
Furthermore, said that the Presi-
dent should have laid all Information
before Congress and let II decide In
its own way. and that the Republicans
were not only ready to support the
Monroe doctrine, but would decide
promptly whether In this case II had
been violated. S. B. ELKINS."
Senator Faulkner also endorses tho
message.
Mr.. Dayton, Of the house. said he rc-
garded the message as truly American.
and that In his judgment L was the
best state paper that President cleyc-
land ever produced. II deserves tho
hearty approval OF Congress-
Capt. Dovener said II expressed the
sentiment OF the country and should
be treated us non-partlIan from n po-
lltlcal standpoint.
Mr.. Huling said: ut has the truN

to-day expressed Its approval by vot-
ing to sustain II with money for the
proposed commission"
Mr.. Miller said: ut IL truly an Amerl-
can view. This country must either
maintain or abandon It's position, and
this seems TO be an nuspicious time for
a test. There will be no war Of course,
but a good deal OF flrst-clRFa diplomacy
must be employed. This country can
not AFFORD to maintain standing army
