WAS CREsPO MIsoUOTEDs
Accuracy of Publications in London
Doubted Here.


LONDON, December 1.-THE Times prints
a dispatch this morning from cores
pondent in Caracas, giving the result Of
an interview he had with President Crespo
of Venezuela. The president said that
he understood that the question of the
outrage upon British Guiana police and
the boundary question were to be
treated distinctly as between Great Britain
and Venezuela, but he declined to discuss the
British note on the subject He added that
the Venezuelan officer who had arrested the
British officers would be punished for ex-
ceeding his instructions, and that the Eng
liShmen would be compensated. He was In
able, he said, to see any r dson for interven-
ton.
There is a disposition here to question the
accuracy of the statement printed in Lon
don, to the effect that Venezuela regards the
matter of the arrest of the British chief Of
police by the Venezuelan officials at Cruan
as entirely separate from the boundary dis
pute with Great Britain, resting it does en-
the main issue in the boundary matter,
namely, the right of jurisdiction over the
territory where the arrest was made.
However no representations have yet been
made to this government on the subject by
any of the parties which is probably ac-
counted for by the fact that up to yes sterday
President Crespo had not received the de-
mand of Great Britain for indemnity.
The only complication existing between
France and Venezuela, within the knowIe ige
of this government, is that growing out of
the expulsion of the French minister to
Venezuela in consequence of the pubiica tion
of the Italian green book last spring, wherein
it was shown that certain foreign ministers
at Caracas had expressed some harsh senti-
ments toward the Venezuelan government
at a meeting of the diplomatic corps there,
called to consider the means of settling
claims against Venezuela. 1t is therefore
presumed that 1t was this incident to which
President Crespo is said to have recently
referred as diplomatic squabble in
France"
In his annual message to Congress Pres-
dent Cleveland referred to this incident and
said that the United States had been using
its good offices toward composing the diff
ferences which involved not only France,
but also Belgium, with Venezuela. TITS has
been done through Ambassador Eustis, but
so far his efforts have not been crowned
with entire SUCCESS.

POLICEMAN COTTER DISMISSED.
Commissioners Approve of the Trial
Board Findings.

After several months of consideration
the Commissioners today unanimously ap-
proved the finding of the police trial board
in the case of Policeman David Cotter
tried for misappropriating the funds Of
the bathing beach, and dismissed him from
the force.
Few cases have attracted such wide
spread interest as this Case, and the Com
missioners all read over the testimony be-
fore taking action in the matter. Police
man Cotter, it will be recalled. was de-
tailed at the fathing beach, ard ior sew
eral years has kept the youngsters there in
awe of his paddle. He was accused of
appropriating some of the funds of the
beach to his own use, and Superintendent
Stevens preferred charges against MN he
fore the police trial board. Cotter has all
along strenuously denied the charge, and
the file of the case contains a number of
letters from prominent citizens and busi-
ness men of Georgetown, testifying to his
honesty. The trial lasted several days
and the record of the case and testimony
fill nearly hundred typewriter pages.

THE DISTRICT REPUBLICANS.
Talk of an Antf-Carson Delegate to
the Convention.


the Convention.
The action of the national republican
committee in directing that the District
delegates to the national convention should
be chosen at primaries instead of by a
convention, as has been the practice, was
much discussed today by the local politi-
clans.
W. Calvin Chase, editor of the Bee was
jubilant over the action of the committee,
for he considers that this mode of electing
the delegates would contribute to the de-
feat of his old antagonist. Perry Carson.
MIR. Holland seemed equally pleased by the
decision, and he seemed more confident
than ever that he will take the place here
tofore occupied by Carson.
The Carsonites also seemed happy over
the result. They do not concede anything.
but are as strong in their claim as ever.
Lawyer Moss, who is regarded Car
sons champion across the branch, told a
Star reporter that Carson will beat the
combine without any trouble.
There is now some talk of a meeting OF
the anti-Carson factions, to decide upon
some particular men,. to make the fight,
but IL is not thought that men acceptable
TO all the different candidates can be found.

THE SENATE COMMITTEES.
1t May Take n Week to Fill the Ma
jOrity RcpreScntntfon.

Members of the republican Senate caucus
committee now express the opinion that a
weeks time will be necessary for the COM
pletion of the work Of filling the majority
representation on the Senate committees.
The populist Senators are having frequent
conferences, and it is understood that there
is some opposition to the program hereto
fore agreed upon for allowing the repub-
leans to organize. Senators Kyle and
Allen are more friendly to the present or
ganization tEan the proposed change, but
II the formers resolution to stand together
is adhered to they will be outvoted, and
in that event they will probably withdraw
from the chamber after the first vote, and
thus leave the republicans in the majority
and in position to control elections.

4 Railway Mail Employe Resigns In
Order to Do So.
W. w. Blackmer, president of the Ma
tional Association of Railway Postal
Clerks, whose run is between Chicago and
Detroit, has rendered to the Post Office
Department his resignation from the lat
ter position. While it cannot be said that
this action on the part CT Mr.. Elackmer is
strictly in consequence of Postmaster Gen
eral Wilson's order last Saturday to which
reference was made in yesterdays Star, as
that order applied only to letter carriers.
yet it is a result of the spirit of the propo-
sition then laid down by Mr.. Wilson that
postal employees must attend to their du-
ties and not engage in lobbying. Blackmer
says he will remain with the Railway Mail
Association and urge legislation.
Capt. White, superintendent of the rail-
way mail service, said this afternoon that
Mr.. Blackmer resigned voluntarily. and he
did not know that the Postmaster Cen
erals order had anything to do with 1t.

After The Stars report of the proceed

neon. Mr.. Rarrett's resolution relative to
Ambassador Bayard was adopted, Mr..
Crisp's motion to refer it to the committee
on judiciary being defeated by a yea and
ray vote of 2OS to 90. The resolution was
amended by striking out the instructions to
the committee on foreign affairs to report

ing the committee free to act as it may
determine. The preamble of the resolution
was amended by adding the following:
And whereas, in a published speech de-
livered in Boston, England, on the I'd day
of August, 1895, the said Bayard is reported
by the press of this country TO have said
The President stands in the midst of a

the threatened strike could not force it.
