her majesty's High Commissioner, Sir
Hercules Robinson to extend the same
protection in behalf of John Hays Ham
mond and any other American citizens
involved in charges of rebellion in the

Referring to the request of the Amer
lean Government that Great Britain use
her good offices in behalf of the Ameri-

Whatever may be the result of the
recent occurrences in the Transvaal, the
Government and the people of the
United States must be gratiffed that so
cordial and gratifying response was
made to Mr.. Olney's request It will be
to Englishmen a source of peculiar

vENEzUELAs OPPORTUNITY.
The London Times" Says That Eng
land Cannot Negotiate.
But That if Venezuela Really Desires
to Avoid Trouble She Can Re-
sume Relations Again.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-In it's issue to-
morrow the Times" referring to the
editorial published by the New York
Times on Sunday, urging direct ar
rangement between Great Britain and
Venezuela for the settlement of the dis
pute-which article is supposed to have
been inspired by President Cleveland
will say that it rejoices to see, as the
time has come for reelection, there is
evidently a desire to revert to the plan
for reaching a settlement to which
President Cleveland gave his formal
sanction at the very moment his own
policy seemed to render it impractical
bic. 1t adds:
What we have now to consider is
the possibility of entering upon such
negotiations with Venezuela. 1t is not
for Great Britain to take the initiative.
Several years ago Venezuela broke off
diplomatic relations with Great Brit
ain without any better reason than a
difference of opinion regarding the
boundary The Foreign Office cannot,
therefore, take any step in the matter
until Venezuela chooses to resume ne
gotiations in the ordinary way, but
Great Britain is open to negotiations, as
she has been throughout on friendly
terms.
"The obstacle, if any exists, has been
created by the belief of the Venezuelans
that they will be supported by all the
power of the United States in any de-
mands they may make on Great Brit
ain, and we are sure this is q grotesque
mistake. The obvious course of Vene-
zuela to adopt is to ask the United
States to place her again in commune
cation with Great Britain"

SMOOTH LAl RE NCE DAILY.
How an Adventurer Swindled Ban
in Kansas City.
He Demonstrates How Easily Clever
Man Can Swind1e Even
Sharp Financiers.

KANSAS CITY (Mo), Jan. 13.-One
of the smoothest confidence men that
has come to Kansas City for a long
time registered at the Coates House
last Friday afternoon. He signed the
name Of Laurence DAILY, Anaconda,
Mont. He has been in the city only
three days, and yet there are a number
of people who are sorry for having
made his acquaintance During his
stay he has managed to swindle the
Metropolitan Bank out of $500, with
the aid of the Endorsement of John H.
McEwen, President of the Southwest
Millers' Dispatch. He also succeeded
in fleeing an old man by the name of
Patrick Melody.
Much of the success of swindler DAILY
was due to the long complimentary no.
tice given him in Saturdays Jour
nal," announcing under a scare-head
that Laurence DAILY was the agent for
the Rothschilds, who We're contem-
plating the purchase of a large num-
Der of Cripple Greek mines; that Mr..
DAILY was a prominent miner and a
principal stockholder in the famous
Anaconda mines.
One of the first acquaintances that
DAILY made in Kansas City was that of
John Maloney, an insurance man, who
made him firm and fast friend, and
introduced him to G. w. Bibbens, an
other insurance man. Mr.. Bibbens had
known man by the name of DAILY in
Virginia City, New, early in the six
ties, and Mr.. DAILY had no trouble in
palming himself off as the same old
acquaintance.
Mr.. Bibbens introduced DAILY to-day
to Cashier Stearn of the Metropolitan
National Bank. Mr.. Bibbens and J. H.
McEwen had just come from the Coates
House, where they had dined sumptu-
ously as the guests of Mr.. DAILY Nc
Even indorsed a draft on Hoge, Brown
lee, DAILY & Co, bankers of Anaconda,
Mont, for $500, and Cashier Stearn
cashed it. That was about the last
seen of Mr.. Daily.
Suspicion was first directed to DAILY
when he came to Secretary Charde's
Office in the Exchange building and
said he desired to purchase $4,000
shares of the Fuller Mining Company's
stock which he said had been lost
trace of, but the stock was now in the
possession of the Earrings of London
There were 100000 shares of the
stock. and he already was in possession
of $4,000 shares of it, he said He
would give 81 20 per share for the
other shares.
He made this statement to Charde
on Saturday afternoon, and yesterday
morning Patrick Melody came into Mr..
Charde's office with a certificate for
| 10000 shares of this same stock, which
he had just purchased from DAILY HIM
self, giving only $50 for the entire
| amount.
This soon developed the fact that
DAILY was an imposter, but he had left
town. The Pinkertons were employed,
and word has been received at mid
night that Daily was caught in Sedalia.

SANTA BARBARA. Jan. 13.-People
who were interested in James Fitzger-
aid. the Santa Barbara claimant to an
Irish estate consisting of S6,00O,0OO
have been marveling over Fitzgerald $
unaecountable disappearance, which
occurred last october.
The solution of the mystery is appa-
rentIy found in a recent dispatch from
Los Angeles, which stated that interna-
tional complications were threatened in
the proposed damage suit of one j. L"
Fitzgerald, who alleged that while
quietly and peaceably walking along
the streets Of that city in October he
was forcibly seized by four minions OF
the law and hurried off to the City jail,
from which he had only recently been
released. He acknowledged that he
made violent resistance to this outrage
both before and after his incarceration.
AS Fitzgerald suffered a similar ex-
traordinary experience in Santa Bar
bara. where he resisted in the same yio-
lent manner, and afterward related the
episode in precisely the same phrase
ology as appears in the Los Angeles
dispatch. there is little doubt but that
the missing heir has been rediscovered,
and that the Los Angeles police have
been entertaining a second Robert
