LONDON, Jan. 12.-In an editorial to-

Transvaal, and the publication of pa
pers on the Venezuelan difficulty are
all authoritative. It adds:
Urged by friendly public opinion in
the United States to place before the
world as soon as may be the British
case as regards the controversy with
Venezuela, the Cabinet on Saturday de-
cided to respond to this amicable invi-
tation by publishing the material docu-
ments in its possession bearing thereon.
OF far more interest to the English peo-
pie 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 opportunity of bear
ing testimony to the magnanimous atti-
tude of the American Government to-
ward us at a moment when a commu-
nifty less gracious thought that a favor
able opportunity had arisen for adopt
ing toward us a tone of insult, if not Of
menace.
augmentation of our anxieties and the
temporary multiplication of our events,
the American people, with spirit that
does them honor, and which is appreci-
ated by US, have not only abstained
from endeavoring to add to our per-
plexities, but where they did not actu-
ally offer us their sympathy they have
maintained an honorable, courteous re-
serve. That is conduct worthy of them
and it has not unnaturally inspired the
English Government with a desire to
meet our kinsfolk across the Atlantic in
a friendly spirit.
Lord Salisbury, as we announced be-
fore, has decided not to wait for the
meeting of Parliament, but will publish
as soon as they can be got ready, all the
documents in his possession bearing
upon the disputed boundary between
British Guiana and Venezuela. AS we
have said, the attitude of the people of
the United States during the past week
has materially influenced the Minister'S
decision, just as it has quickened the
feeling of friendship entertained by
Englishmen for those who speak their
other side of the ocean.

He Would Have England and America
Arbftrate Several Issues.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Henry
Norman, the special correspondent of
the London Chronicle" cabling to his
paper before leaving Washington to-
day, says:
There is a simpler solution of the
present difficulty and restoration of
cordial relations between England and
America than any 1 have yet sug-
gested. Why should not Lord Salisbury
attach to the Behring Sea arbitra-
ton treaty, which is about to be re-
turned to the American Government,
clause providing for the arbitration
of all pending questions and even of
future ones?
Besides Venezuela and Canada there
are the Alaskan boundary, the Eastern
fisheries and other questions causing
discord. If he does this, am able to
state that the Administration will ac-
cept with pleasure the treaty so al
tered. This is method of accom-
plishing everything with perfect honor
and dignity to both parties.
Lord Salisbury would be wise to
terminate the matter before Brazil de-
mands arbitration of her end of the
Schomburgk line, thus adding a new

On the appeal of the officers of the

meeting held in this city on October 6,
1884, when he spoke at some length on
the leading causes of discomfort among
the masses when he dilated upon the
encroachment of Federal Courts upon
the constitutional rights of the people,
and declared himself in favor of re-
Mobilization of silver. This speech,
which in pamphlet form has obtained
circulation of several million copies, is
regarded as a textbook among the var
ious elements that go to make up the
Populists' organization.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
The Story That Comes From the Land
Of the COreans.
1t is Claimed the Queen Was Not
Burned, Though Her Supposed
Murderers Are on Trial.

NEW YORK, Jan. PA special ca
ble dispatch to the Herald from
Shanghai says: A romance equaling
anything which Rider Haggard ever
wrote comes from Seoul, the Capital of
Corea, relating to the conspiracy which
broke out there last November. The
facts are known only to a few persons,
one being the King, and all have the
strongest motives for conceaIment.
1t will be remembered that on Novem-
ber 2Sth an unsuccessful plot culmi-
mated in an attack or the palace by a
number of Coreans belonging to the
Queens party. The King and the Jap
anese being warned beforehand, posted
extra guards and foiled the conspira-
tors, the object being to seize the Minis
ters, expel the Japanese, free the King
from the latter's influence and restore
the Queen, who was reputed to be dead
but who was in reality alive.
The Russian Secretary of Legation
was the leading spirit in the conspiracy,
and was deputed to convey the Queen
from her place of hiding to the palace
The failure of the attempt necessitated
the keeping of the secret of the Queen
being in existence, which is now for the
first time divulged.
When in October the Coreans and
Japanese broke into the palace, the
Queen, scenting danger, had hastily,
without speaking to her women, taken
refuge in an obscure outhouse, where
she saw the bodies of her ladies-in-
waiting dragged to the pyre prepared
for them outside, and watched the
completion of the tragedy from her hid
ing place.
The Queen was concealed for an hour
and a half every moment expecting
discovery. She fled at last through a
secret passage to the old palace, and
thence, after changing her dress, made
her escape outside the walls of the
city, where she reached a place of
safety. When the Japanese and Core
ans examined the charred bodies of
the women who had been murdered the
King and some others shrewdly feigned
that they had discovered the identity
of the Queen in one of the victims,
lest a search should reveal her wherea-
bouts and lead to her murder.
The Japanese accepted the account
of the Queens death as true. Three
Coreans were strangled last week as
the Queens murderers, while the trial
of viscount Mura and other japanese
officials is proceeding at Hiroshima for
the murder of a woman who still lives.
Ii Han Spin, the leader of the last
abortive plot, is in hiding here.
An American friend, who came here
on the Russian cruiser Otvajny, says
that Russia is using the supposed
murder of the Queen as a weapon
against the Japanese, although well
knowing it's falsity.
The Queen had been killed by rumor
twice before.

late William A. bates of Salisbury, and
wife of Hon. William III. Nichols of Ran.
dolph, passed away last Thursday night
at the age of tifty-eight years.
Late in the afternoon of that day it was
believed her sickness, a severe form OF
pneumonia, had taken a more favorable
turn, but sudden change for the worse
followed and she sank rapidly to the end.
In her death not only the members of
own family suffer an irreparab BILE loss, but
many warm friends feel a sense of per-
sonal bereavement.
Mrs. Nichols was born in Brandon but
during her married life had lived in this
village and in Braintree, the family hav-
ing moved back from the latter place but
a snort time ago.
She left husband and four children
Henry Herbert, whose home is in New
York; w. Bates, who is engaged in bust.
ness in California; Edward H., who lives
on the home farm in Braintree, and one
daughter, Anna, recently a student at
Middlebury college.
The funeral service, at which only the
relatives were present, was held at the
house Sunday morning, Rev. V, NJ. Hardy,
pastor OF the Cong'l church, being the Of
ticiating clerg lyman.
Inc remains were taken to Braintree for
interment. All of the children were with
their mother at the last, except the sec
ond son, who did not receive the word in
time to make the long journey from Cali
fornia.
