surface, the Committee on Rules did not
yesterday report the changessit proposed
to make in the code OF the Fifty-first

MEANT TO PREVENT WAR.
Mr. Livingston Explains His vene
zueMn Resolution.

Representative Livingston, of Georgia,
author of the resolution regarding the
reported extension of British outposts on
the Venezuelan frontier. which was yester-
day offered in the House. explains the pre-
cipitancy with which it was introduced by
saying that the situation in the disputed
territory is, If newspaper dispatches are
to be believed, full of grave complications.
He thinks 1t we'll that the resolution
should be SO amended by the Foreign Az
fairs Committee, to whom it was referred,
as to require the Venezuelan government to
keep its armed forces out OF that locality.
Mr.. Livingston says that If hostile shot
be fired by either side, 1t will lead to a
war between Venezuela and Great Britain
which cannot fail to imbroil the United
States. His resolution wa therefore intro
duced In the interest of peace.
