THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
WAS THE BURDEN OF TALK AT
McklNLEY'S HOr1E.
The ePresident=Elect Reads the Docu-
ment. But flakes No Comment
Upon Its Contents.

CANTON COD, Dec. THE burden OF
tha talk in Canton and at the home of
the President to-day was about
President Clevelands message to Con-
gross The people about the town dis
cussed it, the visitors discussed IT, ana
some of the Congressman who were mere
to-day mildly criticised certain parts
of it.
Major Mckinley read it from copy
furnished him by one of the telegraph
oomnanies an hour or two before Con-
gress assembled. The opening sen
tence. with it's strong implied approval
of the results of the recent election,
seemed full of pleasant interest Tor the
President-elect, though he made no YER
hal comment upon any portion of the
document. He read aloud parts of it
70 a group of friends, and they COM
mented occasionally on some of the
writer's observations.
Major Mckinley turned to the por-
tion of the message devoted to a consid-
eraton of Cuban affairs with the keen
est interest, and read it aloud in clear,
incisive, earnest tones.
A CONGRESSMAN who was near by
said: president Cleveland's exposi-
ton of the Cuban problem and his
statement of the existing conditions is
lust. graphic and conservative, but it
is much less sympathetic with the insuT-
gents than most people had looked for.
7 do not think his idea about home rule
for Cuba will come to anything practi
cal. for the CubanS will not trust the
Spanish Government, and would put
no faith in the fairest promises. 1t looks
to me as though we would have to rec
ognize the insurgents as belligerents
within ninety days"
Joseph B. Keeling of Indianapolis
called on Major Mckinley tonight and
discussed the political condition in In
diana to some extent. Mr.. Keeling
says the impression seems to prevail
that c. N. Fairbanks would be elected
to the United States Senate this WIN
ter.
A new Cabinet possibility has swung
into view this evening. The name for
the first time on the tongue of the CO.
terie of official Cabinet-makers about
Canton and Cleveland is that of Colo
mel Henry A. Dupont of Delaware.
Said a friend of his night: Colonel
Dupont would make an excellent Sec
retary of War, and under certain con-
tingencies may seriously be considered
for the position. He is a graduate of

WESTERN MILEAGE BUREAU.
Will rleet To-Day to Discuss the Inter-
chanpeabIe Ticket Question,

CHICAGO, Dec. THE members OF
the Western Mileage Bureau have been
called TO hold a special meeting to-
morrow, the question to be discussed
and decided being the issue of a 3,O00-
mile interchangeabl ticket, good on all
lines in the Western Passenger Asso--
ciation The Western roads have now
a 2000-mile ticket, but not inter
changeable. and the recent action of the
Central Passenger Committee author
izing a 5,000-mile Interchangeable
ticket to be issued through bureau bJ
few asserting lines has prompted the
call for to-morrow's meeting. In view
of the cooperation of the Pennsylva-
MIA and Ohio River lines, it is likely the
Western roads will vote to adopt the
same kind of ticket.
ST. Paul lines have asked their connec-
tions east of this city if they will join
them in meeting the unexpected exten-
sion of the land excursion business. anu
the Joint Traffic Association has also
been asked to authorize its roads to
meet the rate, but as Boston and other
large cities would be affected, 1T is not
likely the rate will be met.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE re-
port of the Secretary of State,
to which President Cleveland refers in
his message to Congress, states that
the relations Of the United States with
foreign powers continue upon that foot
ing of harmony and friendliness which
has been their fortunate characteristic
for so many years." The report sum-
marizes the more important questions
which have occupied the attention of
the department during the current year.
OF the dispute between Great Britain
and Venezuela, it says:
The long prOtracted dispute between
Great Britain and Venezuela over the
boundary between the latter republic
and British Guiana has for a number
of years past attracted the earnest at
tention of this Government and en-
listed its friendly offices to bring about
an adjustment of friendly relations in
the best interests of right and justice
as determinable by the historical record
and the actual facts. The extended
discussion of the subject eliminated in
July of last year by an elaborate pres
entation to the British Government of
the views of the United States touching
final disposition of the points at issue
by the pacific resort of an equitable ar
bitration.
The entire correspondence having
been laid before Congress with the mes
sage Of December II, 1895, that body
provided for the appointment of a
democratic commission of eminent
jurists to examine and report touch
ing the ascertainable facts of the con-
troversy, with a view to enable this
Government to determine its further
course in the matter. That commission
has pursued its labors unremitingly
during the present year, it's researches
being greatly aided by the elaborate
statements placed at its disposal by
both interested Governments, together
with a mass of documentary evidence
furnished from the archives of the
European countries that shared in the
early discoveries and settlement of
South America
Pending the arduous investigation,
however, the Governments of the United
States and Great Britain have omitted
no endeavOr to a friendly understand
ing upon the main issue of principle
through the diplomatic negotiations,
and it is most gratifying to announce
that amicable councils have prevailed
to induce a satisfactory result whereby
the boundary question and its asso-
ciated phrases have been at last elm
mated as between this country and
England. A complete accord has been
reached between them by which the
substantial terms of a treaty of arbitra-
ton to be concluded by Great Britain
and Venezuela have been agreed upon.
the provisions of which embrace a full
arbitration of the whole controversy
upon a basis alike just and honorable
to both the contestants.
TT only remains for the two parties
directly concerned TO complete this
equitable arrangement by signing the
proposed formal treaty, and no doubt
is entertained that Venezuela, who SO
earnestly sought the friendly assistance
of the United States in the settlement
of this vexatious question, and which
has confided it's interests to the impair
tial judgment of this Government. will
assent to the formal adjustment thus
attained, forever ending dispute in
volving far-reaching consequences to

iesteu dl all is equally fOrceful and ar

Inc one apparent aim on either side
is to cripple the adversary hy indiscrim-
mate destruction of all that by anv
chance may benefit him. The ponulons
and wealthy districts of the center and

mer contests, are now ravaged and laid
waste by the blind fury of the respect
I'VE partisans. The principles of civil
lzed warfare, according to the code made
sacred by the universal acuuiescence of
nations. are only too often violated with
lfnpunty by irresponsible subordinates
acting at distance from the central
authority, and able to shield themselves
from Just censure or punishment bv
raise or falsifed versions of the facts.
The killing and summary execution
of non-combatants is frequently re-
ported. and while the circumstances of
the STRIFE are such as to preclude ac-
curate or general information in this
regard, enough is known to show that
the number of such cases is considera
bic. In some instances, happily few.
American citizens have fallen victims
to these savage acts.
"A large part of the correspondence
of the State Department with its agents
in Cuba has been devoted to these cases
of assault upon the rights of our citi-
zens. In no instance has earnest re-
monstrance and energetic appeal been
omitted. But the reports of the Span
