st. Petersburg. Jan. 12-The autograph
letter of Emperor William to the car,
was brought to this city by Prince Won
Radolin. the German ambassador to Rus
sia. The letter reviews the general situa-
tion, especially the Transvaal and Egyp-
tian questions. The ear told Prince Won
Radolin that he entirely cOncided in the
views and aims of Emperor William. who
was taking the lead against England's ar
rogance, and added that the German em-
perOr could firmly rely on his support and
the support OF the states friendly to Rus
sia, namely, France ana the United
States.
Prince Lebanon Rostovski, Russian
minister of foreign affairs. who was pres
ent at the interview between the car and
Prince Won Radolin, commended an anti
English policy.
London, Jan. 12.-The Daily Chronicle,
whose dispatches from Washington anent
the Venezuelan dispute have attracted
much attention, telesraphed yesterday Mr..
Gladstone, who is at Biarritz, France,
asking:
''Can YOU with reference to the pending
controversies reaffirm your agreement with
the House of Commons resolution in fa-
vor of arbitration between the United
States and Great Britain?'
In his reply, which the Chronicle will
publish tomorrow, Mr.. Gladstone says;
MY opinion on arbitration is unchanged,
but I think that / cannot usefuly appear
in public discussion at this moment"
London, Jan 12.-The Daily News will
tomorrow say that Lord Salisbury has re-
fused to agree to arbitration of the Guiana
boundary dispute on the terms proposed
by Venezuela, and has also declined TO
recognize the request of the United states
to trace boundary. but II the American
commission defines what In its opinion the
terms should be and II European pow
er will then act as arbitrator all interests
would be satisfied.
London. Jan. l2.-The Standard VIII to-
morrow say that it is in a position to
state that President Kruger has made no
demand for a change in the existing stip-
ulations of the treaty between the South
African republic and Great Britain. Add
ing, 1T is now explained from Berlin that
the emperor's message to PreSident kru-
ger instead of Indicating a new depart
ure in German foreign policy, was, at the
most an expression OF momentary irrlta-
tion which we are authorized 70 declare
has passed away, leaving the relations be-
tween Germany ana Great britain as
friendly as heretofore
The Standard will also say that the for
eign office is busily engaged in complet-
ing the papers relating to the Venezuelan
dispute. These papers will be published
with as much dispatch as is consistent
with the satisfactory execution OF the Ia
borious task.
row the Standard will say that the com
munications it publishes relative to the
attitude of Germany and the Transvaal
and the publication of the papers on the
Venezuelan difficulty are all authoritative.
IT adds: Urged by friendly public opinion
in the United States 70 Place before the
world as soon as may be the British case
as regards the controversy with Venezu-
ella the cabinet on Saturday decided to re-
spond to this amicable Invitation by pub
fishing the material documents in its pos
session bearing thereon. OF far more in
terest to the English people than the
problems to be faced in South Africa, or
the relations of this country with any
other power are its relations with the
United States and we gladly take the op-
portunity of bearing testimony to the
magnanimous attitude of the American
nation towards us at a moment when COM
munities less generous thought, appar-
emily, that a favorable opportunity had
arisen for adopting towards us a tone. of
insult, if not of menace. Instead of TAX
ing advantage Of the augmentation of
CITI, our J7iaX., anXieties and the temporary
spirit that does them them honor or" and
which is appreciated by us, have not only
abstained from endeavoring to add to our
perplexities, but. where they did not act
ually offer us their sympathy they have
maintained honorable, courteous reserve
That is conduct worthy of them and II
has naturally inspired the English gov
ernment with desire to meet our kins-
IOlk aCTOSS tlle AlkinUC IN a Ifl6nQly Splf-
it. Lord Salisbury, as we announce else
where, has decided not to wait for the
meeting of parliament, but will publish
as soon as they can be ready, all the docu-
ments in his possession, bearing on the dis
puted boundary between British Guiana
and Venezpela. As we have said, the at
tltude of the people of the United States
during the past week has materially in
fiuenced the prime minister's difficulty
jJst as it has quicl1ened the feeling of
friendship entertained by Englishmen for
those who speak their tongue and share
their literature on the other side of the
ocean. The maintenance of friendly rela-
tions with the United States must al
ways be a consideration of the first inn
portance for Great Britain. We say to the
American people with the absolute can
dor of deep seated cordiality.'
The foregoing article is ieaded through
out, and is evidently inspired by the gov
ernment.
London, Jan. 12.-Work was carried on
all day to-day at the Plymouth and
Davenport ordnance yards, the men be-
ing engaged in completing the supply of
shells for the use of the lying squadron.

mend Great Britain for seeking the
friendship of France and Russia. 1t
blames Lord Salisbury for hitherto al
ways obliging Germany and getting moth
ing in return.
Pretoria, Transvaal, Jan. i2-Sixty mem
