KEEP OFF, JOHN BULL
President Replies in Firm Tones
to Lord Salisbury.
IN REGARD TO VENEZUELA
The United states Cannot Permit o

tory on This Continent.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 17.-President
Cleveland sent a message to congress
today transmitting the correspondence
between Secretary Olney and LORD sal
isbury relative to the Venezuelan boun-
larry dispute which created real SEN
sation in Washington. Although the
nature of Secretary Oiney's vigorous
communication and Lord Salisbury $
answer had been already accurately
foretold, there was still a great popular
craving to learn just how the president
would deal with Lord Salisbury's re-
tusal to submit the matter to arbitra-
lion, and the message was listened to
with intense interest In congress ana
was read with avidity on the streets.
Nowhere was there voice lifted In DIS

feeling that must have been highly graf

AMERICANS UNSAFE IN ARMENIA

Secretary Olney Believes Missionaries
Ar. Still In Great Danger.
Washington, Dec. 19.-The president to
day made response to the senate resolu-
ton of December 4. calling for informa-
ton received by the state department
respecting affairs In Turkey. The re-
Spouse Is in the shape of a report by
Secretary Olney, summarizing, but not
including, the official correspondence and
beginning with the massacres at Moosh
in August, 1894.
In substance the secretary's report re-
counts what had been done to protec'
American citizens against the rioters, anu
shows that while their property has suf
fered In two instances they have not been
injured in person. 1t quotes Minister Ter
rell as estimating the number of Arme-
mans killed at 10000, and after citing sew
eral cases wherein naturalized Americans
have been oppressively treated, states
that proper steps have been taken to
secure indemnity in all cases and to pro-
tect our naturallzed citizens in their
| treaty rights.
Secretary Olney quotes Minister Terrell
| as notifying the porte that If one of the
| American women teachers of the Arme-
MAN school at Hadjin was injured he
would demand the head of the kaimakam
| OF Hadjin. Olney closes as follows:
AT the present moment the temporary
| lull In the turbulence is believed to be
| more apparent than real. A telegram just
| received from the minister under date oil
December 16 expresses the gravest ap
prehensions concerning the ultimate fate
of American citizens in the disturbed re
gion, unless the appalling massacres car
be stopped by the united efforts of Chris
tian powers. He sees no hope, however
OF European concert to that end. He say
If the missionaries wish to leave Turke,
he can procure transportation to Chris
tian ports. and adds that the women anC
children should quit Turkey"

Il i'll Depend Largely on the Turn OF
Affairs in III, House.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The course of
the senate this week will depend largely.
If not entirely, upon the turn which af-
fairs shall take in the house. In the
event the house should adjourn over the
holidays, the senate will be ready to
acquiesce, as majority of the senators
are still unquestionably favorable to the
usual holiday recess.
The probability points strongly to the
absence of a quorum the greater part
of the week in case no recess is taken.
The calendar contains only one bin of
general Importance. Consequently there
is little prospect of actual legislation in
any event. If the house should send over
financial or revenue bill, there would
be no possibility of receiving a report
upon it for some time, but the measure
might afford subject-matter for infor-
NAL speeches.

ARE OUT OF LARGE GReeN3ACKS
Gold Wolves of New YORK In a Pecnliar
situation,

New York, Dec. 20.-The Evening Post
says curious condition of affairs has
developed today in connection with the
withdrawal OF gold from the treasury and
assay office for shipment tomorrow. In
consequence of the sudden tightening of
the money market, gold shippers were
unable to get enough greenbacks Omitted
States legal tender notes. with which to
draw the gold out of the treasury. But
for this much larger amount of gold
would be shipped tomorrow.
1t Is only possible to get large amount
of gold out of the treasury quickly by the
presentation of gold certificates or green
backs of large denominations. Large
amounts of greenbacks of small denomin-
atoms could of course be obtained, but it
would take the treasury officials SO long
to examine and count them that in the
withdr awals of millions of dollars some
days would be required. The treasury
would naturally not care to do the work
any faster than was absolutely necessary
Should the present condition of affairs
continue. and sufficient greenbacks could
not be obtained with which to withdraw
gold from the treasury, gold, it was said,
would Immediately go to premium and
specie payments would then virtually be
suspended The rates for exchange would
be advanced to meet the cost of procur-
ing the gold.
