IA COMPLICATED SITUATION
The Feeling if LoM salisbury's Reply Shall
Be as Indicated.
L
Congress Will insist Upon the Posi-.
ton Taken by the State
Department..

The feeling is very general in Congress
that if the reply of Lord Salisbury to Mr..
Olney is of the character indicated in the
London dispatches a complicated situation
will arise. The impression is that Mr..
Cleveland will simply refer the matter to
Congress, transmitting all the correspon-
dence, and await their action. The senti-
ment in favor of maintaining the Monroe
doctrine as presented in this case is al
most unanimous in both houses, or, at
least, it so seems from all the utterances
that can be had on the subject. No doubt
is expressed that Congress will insist upon
the position which Mr.. Cleveland's mes
sage indicates the State Department has
taken.
The~FOrm of Insistencc.
Just what form this insistence is to take
is matter of more or less perplexity.
Neither Congress nor the President can
force England to arbitrate If she won't.
Congress is unquestionably disposed to
dispute the possession by England of any
of the territory of Venezuela, but in trying
to enforce this position it will be necessary
to determine just what part of the terri
tory can be claimed as properly in dispute.
There are so many lines that it must be
hard to fix upon any enc and say to Eng
land that she shall not go beyond it. AS
approached the claim of Venezuela be-
comes less distinct. The perplexing ques-
ton is at what point this country shall
raise the barrier to British aggression.
A Delicate situation.
With the spirit of Congress demanding
prompt and vigorous acton in the matter,
the situation is a very delicate one. 1t is
believed that the first step in the matter
will be to indorse the position taken by the
State Department, and to direct the Presi-
dent to still further insist upon a proper
settlement of the dispute, and to announce
firmly that this country will not consent
to English occupancy OF the disputed terri
tory beyond point where she can clearly
establish her right. 1t will be mae clear
that Congress is prepared to back up this
position in any manner necessary.
The Best Belief.
The belief of the best informed is that
there will be no necessity to go any further.
1t is claimed that there are the best of
reasons to believe that Lord Salisbury does
not intend. whatever may be the tone of
the reply sent to Mr.. Olney, to maintain a
stubbornness which will endanger the
friendly relations between the two coun-
tries None of the men we'll informed in
diplomatic matters believe that England
will resist to the extreme the demands Of
the United States.

SWEARING IN THE NAVY.
Old Sea Dogs Who UncOnsciOusIy
Used Picturesque Profanity.


Used Picturesque Profanity.
From the New York Sun.
How the army swore in Flanders is his
toric, and the profanity of some old salts
of high rank in the United States navy is
provcrbial throughout the service. Once a
month, at muster on Sunday, when the
articles of war are read, the youngsters
grin to hear the eloquent denunciation of
profane swearing as conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman. The younger
men of commanding rank are less given to
strange caths than few crusted old fell
lows some grades higher A subordinate
now and then surprises such a superior by
making complaint to the department touch
ing specific instances of the habit, but even
reprimand from the higher source cannot
break up the manners of a lifetime, and
nobody expects permanent amendment to
the case of men forty years in the service
There are amazing stories of the Ian
gage commonly used by grizZled heroes,
often the idols of the navy. One venerable
officer with wife and family of daughters
is famous for his seemingly inadvertent
lapses into the most sulphurous oaths at
his OWL table and in the presence of guests.
The stranger first hearing 1t catches his
breath with establishment, but the ladies'
have learned to hear without seeming to
understand. AS these outbursts occur in
the old gentleman's blandest moments they
come with the additional shock of the I'M
expected.
There is a story in the service of the
way i'll which a renowned admiral received
a young officers suit for the hand of the
sea dogs daughter. Just what the old gen.
tlenan said may not he set down here but
it was a brutally profane and insulting
outburst. Tho youngster had tact fitted to
the occasion; for instead of fiinching or
speaking the old man fair. he replied with
equal profanity, and won his future
father-in-law's heart and consent in the
same instant.

Col. Whites Talk Before the Veter-
ans Association.
The regular sem-monthly meeting of the
Confederate Veterans Association was un-
usually well attended last evening in antici-
patton of speech by Col E. V. White, who
was to discuss the battle of Balls Bluff,
which is adjacent to Washington and on the
Potomac.
With the exception of reports from stand
ing committees the regular order of bus
mess was suspended and the ladies of the
Southern Relief Society, who were in ses-
sion in an adjoining hall, were invited and
accepted the invitation to be present. For
nearly an hour Col White entertained his
audience in a humorous yet largely histori-
cal account wishing to correct some errors
which had gotten into print by writer's on
both sides. With large map in hand he
explained the movements of both armies,
replying to the critics of Gen. Evans who
commanded, and awarding to Col. Hunton
honors due him for generalshp and bravery
in leading the regiments directly enga ged
in the fight.

He and Secretary 0lney Are in
Thorough Accord.
KNOWS OF LORD SALISBURY'S REPLY
Will Send the Correspondence to
Congress.
THE SITUATION GRAVE

The departure of Mr.. Cleveland on fish
ing excursion the very night before the ar
rival of the Salisbury letter, to be gone six
or seven days. has excited considerable
comment among Congressman. 1t is re-
garded as strange that he should seem so
Indifferent about a matter concerning which
they are greatly interested and which they
regard as grave. An explanation suggested
is that he is threatened with a breakdown
and was forced to seek relaxation. This
suggestion. while very widely accepted, is
not based on fact. He Is in as good health
as at any time during the past few years,
and his departure is merely to crafty a
desire for the exercise and sport of the eX-
cursion.
The Salisbury Letter.
As to the Salisbury letter, he knows the
purport of it, and, therefore, has no Curl
Csity to crafty, and he does not intend to
send the correspondence to Congress until
after the committees are announced. Mr..
Reed is expected to announce the commit
tees about the 18th, and the President con-
templates being back by that time. There
is no occasion for Mr. Cleveland to write an
elaborate message of transmission; the
whole matter is in the hands of Mr.. Olney.
and Congress can be communicated with
on the day of the Presidents return, II 1t Is
desirable to do so. 1t is said that Mr.. Cleve-
lands complacence is due to the fact that he
has no doubt about the course he is to pur-
sue In the matter and is willing that Mr..
Olney should proceed on the lines he has
already marked out for himself.
Secretary OIney's Policy Approved.
1t has been demonstrated now. not only
by the guarded statements in the annual
messsg e. but through other and more
definite sources, that there was never any
a
land hesitated about approving the policy
which Mr.. Olrey has adopted. They have
had a perfect understanding son the sub
ject, AMI the matter is entirely in MIR.
Olney's hands. In view of the character
of the Salisbury letter, as it is understood
at the State Department where the pur
port and not the exact language is known.
Mr.. Cleveland regards the situation as
grave. but Intends to leave Congress to
deal with 1t, ard feels that ultimately
Great Britain will yield
A Probable Message.
In brief message of transmission he
will declare that the Monroe doctrine is
wise, and should be maintained, and will
point out that the State Department has
acted in thorough sympathy with the we'll
established principle. He will also an
nounce the unsatisfactory character of the
Salisbury letter. 1t is believed that the
part of the message dealing with the ques-
ton of the preparation of this country to
sustain the position taken will be made
confidential.
Correspondence to BE Made Public.
The correspondence is expected to be
given to the public. and it IS stated with
authority that the Olney letter will surely
prove strong enough to be gratifying to
the most eXacting champion of the enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine. II is an
nounced that the letter is stronger than
has been indicated.

SAMOAN SERVANTS.
Some Unique Customs as Found I'm the
Distant Island.


rom the San Francisco Examiner.
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson relates
mary interesting things about her Samoa
home and the life there. She says that
housekeeping becomes rather difficult when
you have to send half across the Pacific
for a bottle Of bluing and a bag of flour.
In regard to the servant problem she says:
The servant problem? No, We don't
have that The reason Is that we don't
have any servants. We have families.
If you want a cook you let your wants
be known and you are besieged with ap-
plioants. When you see one that you real
ly like you say:
"Now. if you'll be good boy, and do
so and So" and then you tell him what
you expect of him, ''Pll let you be in my
family, and will allow You so much "a
month for spending money"
If you called the money you give your
family for spending money wages they
would leave you in a body. They are eX-
cellent help but you cannot call them
servants or treat them like servants.
