President Cleveland has sent a message

TO appoint commission to investigate
the facts concerning the disputed boun-
dairy line between Venezuela and British
Guinea and that their report 'be made
the basis of a compulsory settlement Of
the dispute on the part Of England. in
other words asserting the Monroe 6oct-
rine in its most intense form. This
message is meeting with most hearty
endorsement from the entire country
and the tone of the papers indicates that
England will either have 10 fight or back
down.
The tone of the London papers would
indicate that they begin to realize the
seriousness OF the situation, the dis
patches from London saying:
In commenting today upon the Nene-
zuelan question the newspapers gener-
ally agree that the situation is much
more serious than they thought it to be
yesterday. In the public mind, also,
there is general feeling of disappoint.

Gle says: "Of course, whatever happens,
Americans will lose credit over the
affair. 1t is particularly opportune
when many of her railways will need

The afternoon papers all contain long
editorial articles on the Venezuelan
question, the general tenor OF their ut
terances being the same as yesterday,
though all agree that the matter is be-
coming much graver.
The Globe, high Conservative organ
and a newspaper which may be sup
posed to be on terms OF intimacy with
government, gives warning that Great
Britain will remain firm, saying; "Presi-

commissions, but England will remain
firm in her refusal to recognize them
and by jurisdiction of this sort. This is
our unaltorable position, be the conse.

Those who ought to know say that

that young w. r. Hearst, the daring

be the cause Of the disturbance. Accord

hghtfully naive in this expression Of his

THE IRON TRADE REVlEW.

There Is Waiting for Developments Both
Among Buyers and sellers. #
CLEVELAND, Nov. 1.-The Iron Trade
Review says: 3
Buying and selling interests in all de-
part1nents of the iron trade arc scan
ming closely the developments of each
week. On the one side, the drawing
out Of the present interval of quietness,
week after week, is taken as reason
enough for further waiting, the view of
buyers being that the market will
eventually fall off and that large con-
tracts made now would be a
leap in the dark. The waiting
attitude is noticeable among buyers
of foundry iron. Furnace men have an
opportunity to know that consumption
is heavy, and that there is an urgency
about shipping orders indicating that
very little iron is being carried i'll
foundry yards. They affirm that fur
mace yards are kept clean, and are there
fore in the position that when present
contracts run out, as many will in the
next two months, there will be stimuli
taneous effort to cover that will take
take prices even above the present
level

WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. 4.-The
worst railroad wreck in the immediate

The engine, tender and baggage car
kept the track, while the mail car,
smoker and Pullman car went over a
bank about l6 feet high. The day
coach turned completely over and the
other two lay on their sides. The cars
were completely demolished, seeming
to have been thrown some distance
through the air. So far
Only Two Deaths Have Happened.
A woman, thought to be Miranda Hare
of Kittanning, Pa, but not positively
identified owing to the way she was dis
figured, jumped from the car and was
instantly killed. The 8-months-old
baby of Lawrence BARLEY of Pittsburg
was sitting on it's fathers lap when the
accident occurred. It was SO badly in
jured that it died in a few minutes,
while neither the father nor mother
were hurt. The exact number OF in
jured is hard to get reliably, but will
reach 40. Nine We're taken to the city
hospital and three to the Wheeling
hospital, while number are at houses
near the scene of the accident. Ten or
a dozen surgeons and the wrecking
crew were summoned at once. Not
less than 10000 people visited the scene
of the wreck, the Wheeling and Elm
Grove railroad running special ex-
curson trains all crowoed. OF those
who were hurt several will die.
