ENGLAND AND TIVE MONROE CREED
The st. james Gazette Looks for Di-
rect Negotiations.

London, Jan. 16.-In an article COM
menting upon the speech made at Man
chester last night by A. ]. Balfour, first
lord of the treasury, the St. James Ga
zette this afternoon says: 'AIr. Balfour
does not give encouragement to the dip
lomatic amateurs who are trying to get
the Americans to believe that we are
wrong, and will end by knuckling down.
Those who have been led to believe
that the Marquis of Salisbury intends to
apply to Washington, asking it to be good
enough to arbitrate or conciliate are much
mistaken, and we sincerely hope they
have not been able to lead American
opinion to share their error.
There is an increasing disposition, both
in London and in Washington to believe
that the dispute can be arranged by
negotiations between the only genuine
parties thereto, Great Britain and Nene-
zuela.
1--WE have no quarrel with the old Mon
roesm, but if the Senate insists upon
setting up a new Monroeism, which will
of the affairs of the continent of which
one-third belongs to Great Britain, we
certainly cannot avert the consequences
by yielding. The issue, peace or war, lies
with the Americans"
The same view of the matter is taken
by the Globe, which is skeptical as to
the formation of a court of arbitration
whose decision would be sure to COM
mand equal respect on both sides.
ITO this day." adds the Globe the
Americans have not carried out the Ber-
ing sea award and the arbitrators have
no means of enforcing 1t"

LIQUOR HOUSES IN THE LURcH.

OF A SWINDLE.

Only Ten barrels of whisky Found
in His store when the sheriff Made
n LcVy-The Proprietor Made a
Practice of Shipping Goods at Night
as Soon as Rcceived-He Gives His
Creditors Leg Rail.
Raleigh, n. c., Jan. 16.-John T. Barbee
& Co. of Louisville, Ky, wholesale liquor
dealers, levied an attachment on the
stock of G. w. Lambeth & Co, wholesale
liquor dealers here, and the sheriff has
closed their store.
There are further proceedings which
appear to unearth a great conspiracy 1t
IS alleged that the firm was established
10 defraud liquor houses all over the
country, and that it is only one of the
number scattered throughout the south
in a conspiracy of widespread character.
Three months ago an application for a
city license to sell liquors was made under
the name Of Broderick, but the license
was issued to Lambeth & Co. The firm
opened a store and goods poured in by
the carload. Advertising was on a lib
eraI scale. Customers were plentiful. and
the FIRMS prices astonished rival deal
ers. They sold the finest liquors in all
quantities at half regular prices.
Big wholesale houses north and west be
gan telegraphing attorneys here regard
ing Lambeth, and representatives of the
dealers arrived. All kept quiet Day be-
fore yesterday Lambeth left, saying he
was going to Greensboro near which place
is his home. He told his creditors he had
no money. but would get il from friends
at Greensboro and from his father Two
creditors went with him to get the money.
At Greensboro he told them he would
drive to his home, get the money and re-
turn yesterday. That was the last they
saw of him.
l.. c. Younger of Richmond, whose
claim is $1,000 has levied on the stock.
The sheriff found only ten barrels of
whisky in the store. 1t is found that
Lambeth usually reshpped the whisky as
soon as it arrived and persons in Ala
bama and Greensboro are suspected.
Lambeth & Co. had no state and county
licenses. They insisted ON shipping goods
at night. 1t is alleged Lambeth had at
least 100 barrels shipped to follow him in
his flight.
Among other claims filed are those Of
N. NJ. Uri q Co., Grabfelder a Co, and
Applegate & Co., of Louisville; e. A.
Saunders & Co. Of Richmond; Brunhild
Simon & Co. of Philadelphia; Rebstock &
Co. of St. Louis Warrants were to-day
issued charging Lambeth with dispOsing
of property with intent TO defraud.

STRIPE THREATENED IN SAMOA.
Active Rebellion Again Probable in
Two of the Districts.

San Francisco, Jan. 16.-The following
special correspondence Of the United Press
was received per the steamer Mariposa to-
day:
Apia. Samoa, Jan. 1.-The foreign resi-
dents Of Apia are chatting under
the restrictions which are impos-
ed upon them by the Berlin treaty
and have memorialized the consular rep
resentatives Of the three treaty powers.
protesting against the impositons heaped
upon them by its provisions. 1t is claim
ed that s. per cent. Of the revenue is con-
sumed in the payment of the salaries Of
useless officials; that the native Samoans,
while receiving material beneft from the
tax fund, collected from the for
eigners, contribute nothing toward the
support of the municipality and that the
municipal council, as az present construct
ed IS cumbersome and unnecessary.
The petitioners, among whom are the
leading foreigners OF all natiOnalitieS,
strongly protest against the payment of
taxes and duties until the local govern
ment Is reorganized and the expense of
maintaining the same materially re
duced. Unless the concessions demanded
IN the petition are granted, the agitators
threaten to take such measures as will re-
duce the sources of revenue to such an
extent that the present establishment
cannot be maintained. AS a result of the
movement four of the six members of the
municipal council have resigned.
President Schmidt still clings to his Of
nee and the 5000 a year salary attached
thereto, which amount is a first charge
on all taxes and duties.
A certain amount OF agitation is per-
coptible in the Aana. and Atu districts,
and active rebellion there is shortly ex-
pected. A public meeting has been called
in Aana for an early date, to consider the
advisability of setting up rebel govern
ment mably-Tamasses as
king. The rule of Maiietoa appears to be
too weak to overawe the natives and
the Tuamasaga clan, hitherto loyal, are
waYering in their allegiance, it is said.
and should they be represented at the
coming meeting, the Laupeppa govern
ment Will collapse unless the treaty pow
ers again bring their warships into ac-
tion.

on Christmas day, which wrought con-
siderable damage to buildings. No fatali-

DEMANDS OF THE BOERs.
An Indemnity of $1,000 Wanted for
Each One Killed.

London, Jan. 16.-A dispatch from Cape
Town TO the Pail Mall Gazette says that
the johannesburg Stock Exchange has
decided that shares belonging to the per-
sons who were recently arrested at JO-
hannesblrg by the BOer authorities on
charges OF treason cannot be dealt IN,
the exchange holding that such shares
are not good delivery. 1t is stated in the
same dispatch that President Kruger Will
demand 5000 indemnity on behalf of the
relatives of each BOer killed in the recent
fight with DR.. JamesOn's raiders
Counsel acting in the interest of the
government of Great Britain will be pres
ent and watch closely the trials of The
prisoners arrested at johannesburg, which
will take place at Pretoria. This action
will be taken in behalf of the British,
American and Belgian arrestees.
On Jan. II Joseph Chamberlain, secrc-
tary of state for the colonies, sent ca
blegram TO Sir Hercules Robinson, gov
ernOr Of Cape Colony, asking for certain
specific information in regard TO the men,
Ders OF the reform committee and other
persons recently arrested at johannes
burg by the BOer authorities and taken
TO Preoria for confinement pending their
trial. In this message, Mr. Chamberlain
expressed fears that wholesale arrests
would disorganize the industrials which
are carried on in the Rand country and
asked Gov. Robinson to ascertain and
report what the persons arrested We're
accused of, when they would be tried for
the Omenses of which they are charged
whether bail would be allowed in their
cases pending; what would be the pen
alties prescribed by the laws of the Trans
vaal government for the acts of which
the prisoners were accused, etc.
To this dispatch, Gov. Robinson replied
by wire to-day that the arrested men
were accused of treason and also of
seeking to subvert the government of the
Transvaal, and they would be tried by
the high court of the South African re-
public, but that the date of their trial
had not yet been fixed. Gov. Robinson
said that the government of the Trans
vaal republic seemed to be acting within
their legal rights and added that upon
leaving Pretoria to return to Cape Town
ha Nrged President Kruger TO observe
moderation toward the accused men in
order that he and his government might
not ALLEVIATE tie sympathy which they
now enjoy
St. Petersburg, Jan. 1.-THE leading
Russian newspapers are unanimous in
protesting against the establishment OF
an entente between England and Russia
in regard to the Transvaal, or upon any
other question. The Moskovsld ViedO-
moste (Moscow Gazette) urges Germany
to curb Great Britains aggressive policy
in Africa.

AN ELECTRIC COMPANY ASSIGNS.
Inability to Make Collections Brings
About the Trouble.


Chicago, Jan. 1G-The STANDARD Elec-
tric Company made a voluntary assign
ment in the county court this afternoon
for the benefit of all creditors. George
NJ Stone, one of the attorneys for the
company, was named as assignee. The
business was established in 1891, with a
a capital of $1,000 600, but all the stock was
not paid UP.
D. P. Perry, the vice president and man
ager of the company, said tonight that
the assignment was made because of in
ability to make collections with which to
meet pressing liabilities, although there
was ample money to pay all creditors
some of whom had threatened to force the
company into liquidation He considered
the assignment was only a temporary af-
fair and expected to be ready for busi-
ness again soon, as there were two or
three dollars owing the company for ev-
cry dollar it owed. Business had been
duh for two years, and close competition
had hurt the electric business. The COM
pany did business of $3.50, 900 a wear. and
was one of the largest in the city in
dynamo-making and arc and incandes-
cent lighting. a. c. Spalding the sport
ing goods and base ball man, was presi-
dent until a short time ago, resigning on
account of pressure of other affairs e
y. Crepin is secretary and treasurer and
a heavy stock holder. No statement of
the assets and liabilities was given out
by the company.

here is unchanged. The rebels have re-
tired from the vicinity Of Bejucal. Traf-
iic has been resumed on the railway to

ceiYed from the interior OF the island,
owing TO lack of trains and the cutting

Vince Of Pinar Del Rio. The government
force used artillery The fight lasted two

RAILROAD MEN ROBBED.
Five Masked Road Agents Hold I'D a
Trains Crew.


Nevada, Mo, Jan. 16.-A bold robbery
was committed last night at $3.50 o'clock
at Nassau. one and a half miles south of
this city. 1t was pay day on the Mis-
souri, Pacific and five robbers, with hand
kerchiefs over their faces, boarded Mis-
souri, Pacific freight train at this city and
when the train stopped at the junction,
they held up and robbed Engineer r. c.
Campbell and Brakemen j. o. Sumner,
Kinsie Hin and Frank Roberts. Conduc-
tor Robert G. Trckett of Butler, was also
among the robbed, and during the hold-up
one of the robbers shot him through the
nose and in the face. Five gold watches
and something like 500 in cash and checks
were taken from the railroad men. The
robbery was undoubtedly committed by
railroad men, judging from their knowl-
edge Of the train and their free use Of
railroad slang. After the robbery the
highwaymen made their escape. The
train was at once backed up TO this city
and the robbery reported Officers went
to the scene of the robbery on an engine,
but the highwaymen had made good their
escape. An organized gang of thieves are
no doubt working in this section. on
Tuesday night the ticket agent at Rich
ards was held up and robbed by three
masked men who were heavily armed.
1t is thought by the officers that the same
gang committed all these robberies.
