ASKS FOR OUR AID.
Friendly Offices of United States
Desired in the Harrison
Incident.

Washington, D. c.. June 25.-Secre-
tary Olney received calls today from Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador, and Minister Andrade of Vene-
zuela, with both of whom he conferred
separately concerning the arrest by
Venezuelan troops of the British crown
Surveyor Harrison, on the British Vene
zuelan boundary. 1t is understood that
Sir Julian, acting under instructions
from the British foreign Office, requested
the friendly intervention of the United
States towards securing the release Of
Harrison, as was done by the British
authorities in behalf Of the American
John Hays Hammond during the Trans
vaal uprising.
Mr.. Andrade was first at the depart
ment, SO that at the time of his call
the British request had not been submit
ted. Mr.. Andrade called very early,
before the usual hour when diplomatic
calls begin. He was with Mr. Olney
some time, going over quite fully the

ley and the southern part of Mcleod
county. The chase lasted nineteen hours
and the men were finally located in
Duff's lake, where they had gone to es-
cape pursuit. A gunshot brought them
to time, and they surrendered them
selves at once The men We're much
afraid of lynching, and when they
reached town an excited crowd OF 1000
people greeted them Nc violence was
offered, though many threats were heard.
The men are about 81 years old and
say they came from Rhinelander, Wis,
and insist that they had no thought of
murder, but that the first shot was an
accident and the second was for self-de-
Tense. They stole the sheriff's revolver
because they feared he would fire after
them as they were trying to escape. ':hey

and H. A. Cingmars The former says
he is a native of Kentucky and has two

LONDONERS DON'T LIKE IT.
English Papers Express Regret
Over the Liberal Party's Suo-
cess in Canada.

London, June 25.-The St. James Ga
zette, referring to the Canadian cleo
tons, says: 1.-THE English Unionists
and Imperialists will accept the result
with regret. 1t is true that neither
party Tin Canada) is other than loyal
to the imperial connection. Still the
Liberals have dallied dangerously with
reciprocity with the United States and
it is among the Canadian Conservatives
that there is the keenest feeling in favor
of a zollverein. The Americans are
rapidly beating us out of the Canadian
market and Laurier and his friends will
do nothing to stop the process. nor we
fear is the spirited project to unite Cana
da with Great Britain and Australasia
by fast steamships likely to be pushed
witt much vigor."
The Globe says ct is only in keeping
with the teaching Of parliamentary his
tory if in their long period in Office the
Conservatives have fallen out of touch
with their constituencies. Race feeling

United States and Great Britain to
Publish the Arbitration
Correspondence
defeated"

London, June 24.-The st. James Ga
zette says that Great Britain and the
United States have agreed to publish
simultaneously within fortnight1all the
arbitration correspondence exchanged be-
tween the governments of the two coun-
tries. The publication of this matter,
ing the arrival in London of Secretary
Olney's latest communication, which was
handed to Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador at Washington, early
in the week and which is in Mr.. Olney's
incisive style and forms one of the most
important documents of the series. The
st. James Gazette further says that no
definite conclusions have been reached
IS yet, though considerable progress has
been made towards general treaty of
arbitration between the two countries.

LEES PRIVATE LETTER.
Tells a Friend that He is Horror
Stricken at the Cuban
Situation

New York, June 23.-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee is horror-stricken at the condition of
affairs he finds prevailing in Cuba. The
barbarities practiced by the Spaniards
have terribly shocked his soldier ma
ture.
These deplorable facts are but too
plainly set forth in a private letter he
has written, and the revelations made
by the consul-general are likely to startle
the American public.
Although denials have been made both
in Havana and in Washington that Gen.
Lee has informed the state department
of the status of the Cuban war, it is
but fair to infer that if he has. written
any dispatches to Secretary Olney they
must contain the same shocking infor-
nation that he has so unguardedly i'm
parted to his relative in Washington.
The fearful disclosures appear to be made
with the brave candor of soldier and
express the horror of Christian man
over the terrible deeds of barbarious
enemy. The letter is to be published in
full today in the Washington Post. and
is likely to cause anger to both President
Cleveland and Secretary Olney Indeed,
the question arises whether Gen. Lee
has not committed and act that will
cause him to become at once persona non
grata at the palace at Havana. Some
of his friends who have seen the note
fear that it will result in his speedy re-
call

DECIDE AGAINST WOMEN.
North American Turnerbund will
Not Admit Them to the
Convention.

Louisville. KY, June 23.-At the ses.
sion of the North American Turnerbund
this morning. which was the most im-
portant yet held, the women were prac-
tically given the rundown and while
recognized to some extent, they cannot
look upon it as anything like a victory.
It was recommended by the committee
that women be permitted to take part in
the big carnival at st. Louis next year,
which was carried, but they were denied
admittance into the convention by vote
of 215 to 1877. 1t was provided that
women who enter the contest shall wear
blue flannel, divided skirts and blouses.
There was a stormy session on the
question of laws governing immigration.
The committee on affairs of the union
urged all districts and societies to oppose
obnoxious laws concerning immigration.
One member said he was opposed to
such laws. but that Congressman Barth-
old of st. Louis. who was recently secre-
tary of the committee on immigration
and a member of the Turnerbund, had
allowed a report to be filed by the COM
mittee which was far from being the
idea of the Turner's. He said he did not
see how member of the Turnerbund
could do such a thing.

but the interest and influence which the
United States has with Venezuela evil
IDENTIFY inclined the British to seek the
good Offices of this country rather than
those of Germany.
1t is believed that Secretary Olney
already has taken steps to communicate
with the Venezuelan government through
the medium of the United States minister
at Caracas. Ordinarily the first step of
our secretary of state would be to seek
to ascertain for himself through our
minister the exact facts in the case,
but in view of the peculiar relations of
the parties he might depart SO far from
the ordinary methods as to precede this
in the present instance with a request
that Mr.. Harrison be released and that
the status quo be thus restored to what
it was before the arrest, it being under
stood meantime that there shall be no
advantage on either side until the case
can be settled solely on its merits.
The interview between. Secretary OIL
ney and Sir Julian lasted half an hour
and on neither side was there any dispo-
sition to make public anything as to its
nature. There is reason to believe, how
ever, that a solution of the present diff
Guilty is expected within two or three

WERE TOO PREVIOUS.
Pronunciamento of Few Men at
ST. Louis was Unau-
thOrized.

Washington, d. c., June Ex-senator
starting he said, concerning the Populist
attitude Oh the presidential question:
" The recent pronunciamento of a few
Populist gentlemen at st. Louis urging
the Democratic convention to nominate
Mr. Teller was, in my judgment, an inn
pertinence and it was treacherous so far
as it attempted to speak for the Populist
party as a whole. These gentlemen
spoke without authority from the Popu-
list party and | do not believe the party
will sustain them They had not con-
ferred with the party and had been given
no commission to speak for it. Person
ally | have high regard for Mr.. Teller,
but | have no idea that the old party
spirit of the Democratic organization
will be so far relaxed as to bring about
his nominate
s'And in any event | do not think ex-
listing conditions warrant Populist en-
dorsement of the Democratic presiden-
tial ticket, even though the nominee is
for free silver and the platform contains
a positive free silver declaration. | re-
gard the integrity and perpetuity of the
Populist party as essential to carrying
out the plan of reforms we have es-
poused. The money question is but one
OF these. While the Democratic CON
vention will doubtless be for free silver,
yet ii will not be expressive of those
other great questions of land tenure
and of labor which the Populist party
regards as vital. | had hoped that there
might be some amalgamation of Demo
Gratis. Populists. Silver men and all others
in new declaration of principles, and,
if need be, new name. But the time
for that has gone by and all that re-
mains is for the Populist party to main
tain its integrity by nominating its own
candidates on its own platform.
Concerning the Populist candidates.
| personally favor the nomination of
Gov. Holcombe of Nebraska for first
place on the ticket and had considered
Nugent of Texas as the strongest man
for second place up to the time of his
death. Under the circumstances Tom
Watson of Georgia is probably the most
available man. This combines the West
and the South, the two sections to which
we look for results

when he Journeyed over mountain trails
and threaded the valleys on his way to
Illinois in 1887. His career in Chicago
since that time is well-known. AS a
constitutional lawyer, he was always a
recognized authority.
During the closing years of his life
Judge Trumbull again severed party ties
that had been recognized by him for
many years. The PopuIists claimed him
as their own, and men to whom some of
his opinions were obnoxious have classed
him with that party. 1t is extremely
doubtful, though. if he would have adj
mitted his fellowship with that party at
all points. He was put into this class
politically largely because of his opposi-
ton to the action of the federal courts
in the great railroad strikes of 1894. He
took the ground then that the federal
courts, in their exercise of the injunction
power, and in their punishment of Off
GERS of the American Railway union, had
exceeded their jurisdiction. His last ap-
pearance in courtroom was made as
counsel for the American Railway union
officers before the Supreme court at
Washington.
Only once since then has he appeared
in public, and that appearance gave
added point to the claims of the Popu-
lists upon him. 1t was a mass meeting
in Central Music hall, where he spoke at
length upon the causes OF dlscOntent
among the industrial classes. He spoke
of the encroa chment of the federal courts
upon the constitutional rights of the peo-
pie, and emphasized the point that deliv-
erance from the oppression Of privileged
monopolies could only be had through the
ballot.
Judge Trumbull was twice married.
His first wife was Julia Maria Jayne Of
Springfield, to whom he was welded in
1913. She died in Washington in 1863
In 1887 he married Mary j. Ingraham of
Saybrook, Conn.

THEY ARE KEEPING COOL.
Foreign and Colonial Offices Show No
Excitement.

London, June 25.-At the foreign and
colonial Offices, at the offices of the colony
of British Guiana and the official head
quarters of the Venezuelan representa-
tives here the closest secresy is main
tanned regarding the latest developments
in the controversy between the colony
and the republic of Venezuela. The
matter, however, is not looked upon as
very serious, although it is probable that
both sides have sent small police forces
to the frontier
The representatives of the Associated
press who have been inquiring into the
matter gather that there is no doubt that
the belief prevails in official circles here
that President Crespo did not order the
arrest of Grown Surveyor Harrison of
British Guiana and that there is con-
siderable doubt as to which side of the
Schomburgk line Mr.. Harrison was sur
veying when arrested. There is some
doubt as to when the arbitration blue
book will appear.

CANADIAN LIBERALS WIN.
A Great Many Surprises in the
Election-Quebec Against
the Government.

Montreal, Que, June 24.-According
to the latest election returns the Liberals
now have clear majority over all other
factions of twenty-five. The complexion
of the new house is as follows: Liberals,
118; Conservatives, SO; Independent, IL;
election to be held, 1; total, 213. New
elections will also have to be held in
two constituencies as Laurier and Nc
Carthy ran in two divisions and were
elected in both, but can represent only
one. A great many surprises were Occa-
stoned by the results in the various PROV
inces. Quebec went strongly against the
government while Ontario where a reg
ular revolution was predicted, stood by
Sir Charles Upper better than any other
section of the country. British Column
bia, the Northwest territory, Manitoba,
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick each
gave stronger Liberal representation
than in the last house, while Prince Ed
ward increased the Conservative contin-
gent from that province.
In Quebec, Messrs. Taillon, Postmas-
ter-General Anglers, president of the
council, and Desjardines, minister of
public works, all met their Waterloo
But three Conservatives were elected out
of the eight seats for Montreal
In New Brunswick the old and
esteemed Liberal veteran, A. H. Gillmor,
was defeated in Charlotte, while Col.
Domville IiberaD captures George Eos
ter's old seat in Kings.
J. w. Longley was defeated in An
napolis and Joseph Martin in Winnipeg.
The premier was elected in Cape Bre-
ton; Mr.. Laurier in Quebec (East) and
Saskatchewan; Dalton Mccarthy in
Brandon and in North Simcoe. A spe-
cial feature of the fight in Nova Scotia
was the capture of Cumberland by the
Liberals. coupled with the defeat of A,
r. Dickey, the minister Of justice.
