SEEKING A BIG Bull DING,
Democrats Making Arrange
ments for the Chicago
Convention.
Advantages of the Coliseum and Tat.
tersalls Explained to the
Committee.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 31.-Tbe members
OF the subcommittee of the Democratic
National Committee appointed to look
over the local halls and make arrange
ments for the National convention in July
met at the Palmer House at noon to-day.
Those present were: Chairman William F.
Harrity of Philadelphia Colonel John
Prather, st. Louis; Thomas H. Sherley,
Kentucky; Ben Cable, Illinois, Secretary
S. P. Sherin, Indiana, and L. w. Nieman,
Milwaukee, proxy for E. C. Wall, Wis
consin.
The afternoon was spent in looking over
the plans of the Coliseum, now in course
of erection, and the interior of Tattersalls.
At the evening session John T. Dickin-
son, formerly secretary OF the Worlds Co
lumbian Commission, explained the ad-
vantages of the Coliseum now in course
of erection near the Worlds Fair grounds.
By an adjustable amphitheater, he said, it
could be made to seat from 5000 to 2O, 600
people, with spacious aisles, ample en-
frances and exits for the delegates and
special entrances for the press. The trans
portation facilities of the steam, elevated
and surface roads were equal to the con
veyance of $1,000 people inside of one hour
from the central portion of the city.
John Edmondson spoke briefly for Tat
tersalls, the interior of which he claimed
could be so arranged as to seat 16 600 people
on the main floor and in the galleries.
The committee, after hearing the adj
dresses on halls, went into executive ses-
sion until midnight. 1t was decided to
postpone the selection of hotel headquar-
ters and the appointment of sergeant-at-
arms until tomorrow. The local commit
tee offered to build wigwam at any
location the subcommittee might desig-
nate in case neither of the halls offered
proved accountable

Rmmors of War Caused an Expenditure

OTTAWA. ONTARIO, JAN 81.-Finance
Minister Foster delivered his budget
speech in the House of Commons to-day.
He said the falling off of revenue duping
the year, as compared with the previous
year, amounted to 1886, ,563.
The actual revenue was S33, 1858, ,125 and
the expenditures $S8. 122, ,0OO leaving a de-
ficit for 1S94-95 of $4 ,153,8 ,875. There were a
number of increases in this years esti-
mates, more particularly in that regarding
the militia.
He pointed to the rumors of trouble
which existed a few months ago between
Great Britain and the United States and
gave this as good excuse for the expendi-
ture on the militia.
The Government proposed this expendi-
ture out of no hostility to any country
under the sun. What was desired by the
Government was to place in the hands of
the people of Canada the necessary means
of resistance should the emergency arise.

Sir Otter Mo,rat Says They Womtd Fight
If Necessary.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 31.-Sir Oliver
Mowat, Premier of tie Province of On
tario for the past twenty-five years. visited
Buffalo yesterday on private business. In
an interview en- international topics Sir
Oliver was asked what effect the re cent
war talk had in Canada. He replied:
Canada IS strengthening her forces and
defenses now. The present crisis has GER
tainly caused this and there has been alb
solutely no difference of opinion on the
matter. Nor has this come from any hint
received from the Colonial Office in Great
Britain"
"But Mr.. Chamberlain will not be slow
to note the significance of the fact?'
NO, for with all our differences, racial
and sectarian, We were unit when we
appeared to be in danger. French Cana
dians joined heartily with the Protestants
of Ontario and demonstrated how little
real sentiment there is for annexation to-
have / seen so much loyalty to Great
Britain"
"You don't think there is any possibility
of warp
II hope not I pray God such a dire
calamity may be honorably averted. You
know that the United States has many
good reasons apart from one common
language to be friendly toward Great
Britain. We are really brothers, and such
war would be cruel. wicked and fratri-
cidal Still, it is wonder how quickly all
responded to the call of danger, and how
all races and creeds joined in deter
mination to show their solid strength and
patriotism on behalf of the motherland.
"Of course, we do not believe there will
be war. We have no reason to be other
than friendly and eighborly, but Cana
dians are not towards. We have had fric-
tion with the United States before on many
issues, but never without cause, and l do
not see why all disputes should not be
amicably settled. We claim only the right
to live neighborly and do our business
honorably with the United States, but we
also claim the right to know what is best
for ourselves and to be allowed to manage
our own affairs as we deem best. This
Canadians will always do. We are not
towards. you know, nor are we alarmed
even now"
"And do you think Great Britain will
hght?"
81 said that 1 did not think there would
be war between England and the United
States. Just now, envied by all countries.
England's splendid isolation is the ad-
miration of the world. There is no mis-
taking her temper or her power. She
seems doubly proud and heroic as she
stands out alone against the powers as if
she almost gloried in her friendlessness
She stands splendid spectacle. And if
she would be called upon to fight, ven-
ture to think she will not fight alone, or
that she will not be equal to the occasion"

Secretary Malet.Prevost to Go to
Madrid and an Expert to
The Hague.
LIGHT FROM OTHER SOURCES.
Historical Data Bearing on the Bound.
ary Dispute to Be Also
Sought in France.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 31.-The
Venezuelan Commission held its first reg
ular weekly meeting to-day in its perma.
nent quarters, and took up the enormous
mass of official documents bearing on the
boundary question, which had accumu-
lated on the files OF the State Department
mitted by Secretary Olney, in accordance
with the commissions formal request
adopted at its last meeting.
These papers, together with the volun-
tary contributions of old maps, books and
other data which has been received from
various sources, have enabled the commits
sion to make a general estimate of the
state of the case and take up the consider
alton of specific researches which must be
pursued to secure corroborative or contra
dictory evidence.
1t has been already practically deter
mined that Secretary Malet- Provost will
shortly proceed TO Madrid to ransack the
Spanish archives for records that his ex-
perience leads him to believe are in exist
ence, but have not until this time been
connected with the case. Satisfactory as
surances have been given that every facil-
ity will be afforded him for his researches.
One OF the commissioners or an expert
selected by them will in all probability be
sent to the Hague to study The Dutch
archives at the same time.
Spanish investigation having been un-
dertaken, and as historical data of the
highest Importance is known to be in the
possession of the French National lii
brary, it is not beyond the possibilities
that sufficient number of the commits
sioners or their agents will go to Europe in

know, as we'll as an outsider can know,
that the contract or combination has been
made with the Panama Railroad which
subjects the people of the Pacific Coast to
increased freight charges.
Mcguire proceeded to show that by
funding the Pacific Railroad debts this
condition of the monopoly would be con-
tinued for at least very long period; that
the charges for transportation would be
based, not upon the value of the services,
as they should be, but upon the advantage
of the shipper of having his goods trans
ported. In other words, freight rates will
be fixed at all the traffic will bear, instead
of the value OF the service. The railroad
monopoly, therefore, will insist upon be-
ing let into partnership with all pro-
ducers, just as, in the case cited by Mr..
Bowers the other day, in which it .ap-
peared that freight rates on borax had
been raised because the borax business had
become more profitable than formerly to
those engaged in it.
Mcguire went on to show that no re-
funding scheme could be made applicable
to both the Union and Central Pacific
roads, and urged that the objections to
refunding the Central Pacific debt applied
with almost, If not quite the same force,
to the Union Pacific as to the Central Pa
ciic system.
The sensation of the day was caused by
Maguire's argument to show that the So
called first mortgage bonds were not in
fact prior liens, and that the Government
mortgage was, in fact, the first mortgage.
In support of this position he quoted at
length from Pacific Railroad laws and
from written argument prepared by John
I. Doyle of San Francisco on the question.
He said that Doyle had been for MANY
years one OF the leading lawyers of the
Pacific Coast, and was in fact one the
ablest lawyers in the country; that the
argument prepared by him was clear and
strong and asked leave to have it printed
as whole in his remarks, which was
granted.
Coming to the remedy, Mcguire said that
any other course that might be pursued in
the Pacific Railroad matter would be better
than refunding; that it was an extraor-
dinary thing for Congress to even listen to
an application for an extension of the
credit on behalf of an insolvent company
made by men who had rendered the COM
pany insolvent by robbing it for their own
enrichment, and who had deprived the
company of the power to pay its debts to
the Government by diverting its assets to
their own pockets.
Those who had thus violated the old
contract could not well be trusted to be
faithful to the new one. He discussed the
liability of the directors of the Central and
Union Pacific Railroad companies, and
their successors in estate, to restore the
assets amounting to more than $150, ,O00, 900
which the Pacific Railway Commission
found they had diverted to themselves
from the two companies by means of
fraudulent contracts made by them with
themselves.
Chairman Powers claimed that the ques-
tion OF the right of the Government to sue
the directors for fraudulently diverted as
sets had been finally decided by the United

SALISBURY REPLIES ro MORLEY
The Prime Hint ster EEpIasns His Fiescs
on the Monroe Doctrine.

The Prime lfinf ster Eaplasns His Tfetys
the Monroe Doctriise.
LONDON, ENG., Jan. 31.-Prime MIN
lister Salisbury delivered speech here to-
night, IN the course of which he rebutted
the statements made Thursday night by
John Morley to the electors at Arbroath
concerning the Monroe doctrine. Mr..
Morley said Lord Salisbury had blundered
in seeming to question the Monroe doc
trine and that if ever there was question
that should be arbitrated it was the Veue-
zuelan boundary question.
Lord Salisbury said tonight that al
though the doctrine formed no part of
international law, his dispatch to Secretary
Olney supported it as a rule of policy as
strongly and distinctly as possible, but in
the form in which President Monroe him
self understood it:
The Prime Minister expressed sympathy
with the Armenians but denied that
Great Britain was under an obligation to
declare war against the Sultan of Turkey
in order to compel him to govern Justly
and cited the treaties in proof of his con-
tention. He ascribed .he atrocities to the
passions of race and creed. He believed
that the Sultan's government was wretched
and impotent, but there was no ground for
imagining that the Sultan had instigated
the massacres.
1t might be asked why Europe did not
interfere. He could only answer for Eng
land. She had lacked the power to do the
only thing necessary to end the troubles
namely, to militarily occupy Turkish
provinces. None of the powers wished SO
to occupy them.
Lord Salisbury said he concurred in the
policy that the only authority, albeit it
was an evil one. in that country was the
prestige of the Sultan's name. Patience
must be exercised and his Majesty must
be given time to enforce the reform he had
promised. He remarked upon the gradual
return of order in Anatolia during the last
few weeks. although he admitted that
these signs should not be trusted too
much.
He concluded by declaring that if Great

the next two or three months to hold a
meeting in some convenient Continental
rendezvous.
All the members were in attendance at
the session which lasted practically ali
day, with brief intermission for lunch
con.
Secre tary Malet-Prevost announced that
the chief morning business had been the
discussion of some State Department pa
pers as well as we'll as the tenders of as
sistance which had poured in from every
direction, showing a commendabIe desire
on the part of the people everywhere to
offer evidence.
Nothing had yet been presented by
either the Governments of Great Britain
or Venezuela, nor had any communication
of any kind been received from these
countries notifying the commission
whether or not they would accede to the
request to have representation through
counsel.
The commission at 4 o'clock adjourned
until next Friday, the memb bers in the
meantime to pursue their individual study
of the evidence at hand as well as the
search for useful information.

WAS a MCKINLEY AFFAIR.
Banquet Given by the Hamilton Olssb at
ChicGqo.


CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 31.-The name of
William Mckinley was the one which
charmed the members of the Hamilton
Club and their guests tonight in the BAN
quet hall of the Auditorium Hotel, where
the sixth annual feast and speech-making
of that prominent Republican social or
ganlzation took place. Governor Bush
nell, who came last but one ON the toast
list, was the most distinguished speaker
who eulogized the civic and political vir-
tues of his predecessor. 1t was distinct
lively Mckinley affair, with speeches of a
general Republican character, and plea
from Professor Booker T. Robinson of Ala
bama for the negro as the new citizen.
Senator-elect Foraker was expected to
respond to the toast, "The Republican
Party" but business engagements kept
him at home.
