THE DIPLOMATIC LooPHoLp.

"If you read the message carefully"
said one of the highest officials of the
administration you will see that the pres
ident makes a careful distinction as to the
manner i'm which Great Britain may settle
the question. 1t is only in the event thai
she uses force to acquire possession of the
disputed territory that the president adj
vises interference by this government. Ir
one place he says IF a European power
by an extension OF its boundaries. takes
possession of the territory of one of our
neighboring republics in derogation OF its
will and against its right etc. Further
on the president says: Great Britain's
proposition has thus far never been re-
garded as admissible by Venezuela, though
any adjustment OF the boundaries which
that country may deem for her advantage
and may enter into of her own free will
cannot of course, be objected to by the
United States
This idea" continued the official as
brought out no fewer than three times
that only in the event Great Britain ac-
Quires the disputed territory by force will
the United States feel bound by the Mon
roe doctrine to interfere. 1t Is the diplo-
matte loophole. 1t leaves the way blazee
for Great Britain to gain possession oil
what she wants without trouble from the
United States. And let me predict that
Salisbury will take advantage OF it, He
will settle with Venezuela and get the ter
rltory or as much as Great Britain really
expects and he will not use force. Per-
haps q little money may be used. You can
depend upon 1t, the Britishers will find a
way to get Venezuela's consent"

WHAT POLITICIANS SAY.
Morton and Allison a Possible Prcstdcn-
tial Ticket

New York, Jan. IA finally authorita-
tive statement of Gov. Morton's candidacy
for the presidency was made here tonight.
Ex-senator Warner Miller when asked
whether statement regarding the COVER
nor's candidacy was to he made said:
Il know of no formal announcement
other than that his friends are authorized
to state that Gov. Morton, yielding to the
solicitations of his friends, has consented
to become "a candidate for the presidency
He will receive the full support of tho re-
publicans of New York State and of other
states as well, believe. and from now on
a thorough canvass will be made in behalf
of his candidacy"
Chaunccy NJ. Depew said tonight that
ne was not at liberty to speak as to what
the governors plans were in reference TO
the matter. but that he was quite certain
that the governor would not put any OBJ
stacles in the way Of his friends who de-
sired to secure delegates for him in other
States.
New York State" said Mr. Depew
us solid for the Governor for the presiden-
cy and ! am sure that he will be very
strong in other states"
Mr.. Depew said that the only two objec-
lions that had been offered to the Governor
as the republican presidential candidate
We're his age and populistic argument that
Gov. Morton was a leader OF business and
financial affairs in the east. But, Mr.
Depew, said, Bsmark, THEIRS. and Glad
stone had been at the head of the govern
mcnts of their respective countries when
well advanced in years.
AS to populstic sentiment that might
be leveled against Mr.. Morton as a candi-
date Mr. Depew said that he thought
that the sentiment was weakening, and
that he noticed this from the many recent
failures OF populistc newspapers.
Very soon," continued Mr. Depew, "the
Journalistic graveyard will have
the sign of Standing room only in it,"
Cen James S. Clarkson of Iowa, was at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day. General
Clarkson is for Senator Allison of Iowa
for the presidency. He has been South,
and he said that in talks with republicans
in Texas, Tennessee and Alabama he found
that Gov. Morton was very popular and
he was of the opinion that he would have
some delegates from each of those States
This struck some of the politicians as GU
rious, and they began discussing a presi-
dental slate which was made up in this
way: For president, Morton of New York,
for vice-presdent Allison of Iowa.

A BACHELOR PIN CUSHION.

Louis II. Turk of the popular firm OF Il.
Turk q Fro, has been passing through
novel experience during the past few
days On the approach Of Yuletide a
prominent lady friend asked his opinion
in relation TO scarf pins, when Mr.. Turk
replied that scarf pins were out of date
and that no gentleman would wear one.
The lady replied that she was sorry as
she had purchased one as a Christmas
present for him and handed him a beau
tful work in gold and precious stones.
Mr.. Turk, of course. saw that he had
made faux pas and he made an explana-
ton of his previous statement that would
be creditable TO any bachclor But his
troubles were not TO end with this episode.
His friends learned of the affair. and
since then he. has been the victim OF Il
perfect deluge of scarf pins from his
friends of both sexes and from all direc-
ton not even excluding Boston. The col
lection now embraces 40 and includes all
sizes and the widest variety imaginable
in scarf pins and by the time Mr. Turk
settles with his friends his pin money"
will reach a handsome figure.

MORTON FOR PRESIDENT.
ANNOUNCES THAT HE WILL STAND
AS A CANDIDATE.1
Assured of tho Unanimous support of His
State-wir Not Run For Governor
Again Warner Miller May BIO
His Successor.

Albany Jan. 1.-Gov. Levi =. Morton
has finally announced to his friends that
he will stand as candidate for president
before the national republican convention
to be held at St. Louis. lie stated his
position at the dinner given at Chauncey
NJ. Depew's residence in New York city
on Monday night The others present
were Hon. Thomas c. Plat, BENJAMIN Il.
Tracy, Hon. Warner Miller. State Comp
troller James A. Roberts of Buffalo and
ex-United States Senator Frank Hiscock
OF syracuse. These gentlemen had at a
dinner rendered Gov. Morton in New York
city ten days previous assured him that
he could have a solid delegation from this
state and the undivided support of the
republicans of the state without regard
to leaders. The first step in securing him
this unanimous endorsement was the res
ignation of State Comptroller Roberts as
president OF the State club, which was or
ganized by John IL. Milholtand of New
york city. as an anti-Plutt organization.
Mr. Roberts is preparing a statement
which he WI! give out for publication to-
morrow afternoon. In which he will en-
dorso Gov. Morton's candidacy and show
why, in his judgment, Mr.. Morton should
he nominated. Mr.. Plat and other prom
inent republican members will also be in
terviewed tonight or tomorrow and give
like statements TO that of Mr.. Roberts.
Jncse pubHcationS will be with Gov,
Morton's full knowledge and consent as
he Is now satisfied that the republicans of
the State are anxious to give him n hearty
and unqualified endorsement. 1t is stated
that whom Gov Morton acceded to the
wishes of the party leaders TO become a
candidate for the president he at the same
time announced that no matter what the
result of his canvass might be he will not
be candidate for reelection as governor,
when his term expires on January next
If he is unsuccessful. which IL not for a
moment expected that he will be, by those
VINO are cognizant of the circumstances
which has led Gov. Morton to announce
his candidacy, he would 1t is thought, go
to the United States Senate as n successor
of David 3. Hill, WHOSE term expires next
year.
Tho decision of the governor has led to
much speculation as TO who among the
many candidates for governor Is likely to
succeed him. State Comptroller Roberts,
Speaker Hamilton Fish, Secretary OF
state Palmer. Adiutant General Nc
Alpin. and j. Sloat Fassett have time and
again been mentioned as possibilities,
while there are some who seem to think
that Hon. Warner Miller would profit by
the governors declinaton of second
term. under the circumstances which
nave caused the governors announcement
OF his candidacy for the presidency.
