John A. Mccall Says the syndicate ShOnld Be
 Dissolved.

To the Editor of The World
 As President of the New 1ork Life Insurance Company, sub scriber to the syndicate for ten mll- lions of the bonds, l believe the syndicate, should be dissolved. This is said without any reflection what ever cn Mr. Morgan, who, l believe has acted in the most manly way throughout the whole transa ction. He has been criticised most unfair lv as those of us familiar with the facts know.
 The conditions of the syndicate formation no longer exist, and, justly or unjustly, the feeling against it is very strong. This company believes the Government should bt sustained in it's efforts to protec our financial honor, and, regardless of the syndicate, it will subscrlb'
 for ten millions of the bonds.
 Ihave advised Mr. Morgan of ou
 intention this afternoon, and l be-
 lieve that he will be found to ac
 just as he always has acted in sucI circumstances, supporting the Ad minlstration at every point in sus
 tain ing the national credit,
 Several changes should be mad ? in the call for popular subscril 3 tion. The payments should be ar ranged so as to permit the subscr , Der to pay at first p per centun : and at intervals of thirty days e; c

STATEHOOD KNOCKED OUT
Let Us Remember Reed.

Chicago. Jan., 1S.-The Posts special says; Disap- pointment awaits the people of New Mexico and Arizona. They have been knocking for admission into the Uniun many years, but the de- cree has gone forth that their pray CTS are to be left unanswered for another two years.
 They can thank Speaker Reed and his little combine for this dose of disappointment, which has been brewed for their consumption.
 The explanation offered is that 1t is deemed ot the highest importance to check any further growth of the silver strength i'll the senate, and that the best way to do that is to prevent an increase of reprsenta ton from the mountain regions.
 Therefore, the house committee on territories will not report tn, bills for the admission of the terri tories named until too late for ac ton by this congress.-Citizen.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN.
War With Spain.

Washington, Jan. 12.-President Cleveland may soon take further step in his pursuit of q vigorous foreign policy. It is not unlikely that the next message that goes from the White House to the Cap itol will urge the intervention oi the United States in the bloody strifs which is now being waged ln Cuba.
 The North Atlantic fleet is being held at the Hampton Roads, not with the idea of sending It to bonn bard Smyrna, but that it may be in readiness for use in American and Cuban waters should emergency
 arise.
 There are several points at which
 this fleet might, by show ot force,
 preserve or restore peace, and It IS
 to guard against possible put
 not unexpected emergencies that
 this naval force is kept quietly
 at anchor under our own shores,
 From a member of the admins
 tration it is learned that the Presl-
 dent and MT. Olney have throughly
 determined to give all possible force
 10 the doctrine of which the Vene-
 zuelan message was the first indlca' lion. That doctrine Is, that 1t sEal
 he announced to all the nations O the earth. that henceforth the growtl
 of republicanism from the Nortl
 Pole to Cape Horn shall not b' checked by any foreign power, ant t that not another inch of soil on thu u continent be acquired by forelgl t nation, either by purchase or con quest.
 T. The Administration believes tha :" in taking this staud ithas given tn 0 Republic a definite object and des Il tiny. According to the member oi the Administration referred to, M n Cleveland and his Seer etary :" State regret that they did not 2 le further in their announcement ' the Monroe doctrine in the Vent le zuelan message-that they shoul IT. have left it to be supposed that al ne foreign power might, by arrang ny ment with any South American r n- public, acquire additional terrlto - on this hemisphere.
 'e Before making any move as y- Cnba, the Alaskan boundary, | ne French aggression in Brazil or 1 hu Venezuelan matter with Englar ni- however, the Administration fe 'as it necessary that Congress shot -ea endorse more thoroughly what | re- already been done. The aprro m by Congress of the Venezuelan m the sage does not fully satisfy l 'Ne Cleveland. He wants ringing DO clorotion of the Monroe doctrl m and the passage of the so-cal De Emergency bill adding not only eIy GOO sailors to our standing na ese but giving him the power in em eat gency to enlist "Fuch of the ma ne militia and other men as may 'he required for the purpose of m ave ming vessels of the navey not h tea ing full crews"

THEPRACTICALs SITUATION.

We have never known a case of international dispute Ill which, on all grounds, settlement by arbi- tration seemed more urgently ad- yisable: and Lord Salisbury's deni- al of our friendly request seems to us as reckless and as.evil thing as modern history can show. His ex pressed contempt for the Monroe doctrine is wholly offensive to us as a nation. But Salisbury will not always be Prime Minister; and that which is right and just should trI- umph in our relations with Eng land without one single hint of so inconceivabIv horrible catas- ltrophe d. war. While we believe
 Lord Salisbury wrong and Presi-
 dent Cleveland Secretary Olney t right regarding the applicability of the Monroe doctrine and the principles of arbitration to the Ven
 ezuelan difficulty, it does not seen to us that the resources of diploma 7 cy have been by any means eX-
 hausted. We are confident tha
 
 \ the Venezuelan question will b
 settled within this year 1856, an'
 that the sober, peacelovlng peopl
 of England and the United State = will conclude not to hate each otl = CT or to fight each other. It woui Y be entirely impracticable for us t s ss send commission to the reglon ' dispute; but we heartily approve M '@ the plan of commission sitting Washington who will advise ol Q a,vn government concerning il downright merits of the con.rove' } sy. Meanwhile, it is not Tn u 5S least necessary or desirable to co 9P template hostilities as a result of Il light whichsuch commission ma throw upon the boundary questlo The questions involved are histor 5 ? cal ones which can be as readily C . termined in Washington as an < where else. The controversy IS o Q of at least fifty years standing, a $ all the facts have been already co "a nletely unearthed. All that Gre -O@ -O Britain can claim has been print ,yn yilj in British blue books; and, mol over, Lord Salisbury's letter co N'' tains the best presentation oi 'he British case that experts could ma T1l Inr. with unlimited time at their dis Cork sal. President Cleveland's co o .ond mission, assuming that 1t will Tsar ear duly appointed, will have mer R,S, lgGy to look into the merits of tn end claims already presented hy Gi with Britain, and to examine the We T .,a1,a a,i zuelan claims. which, with all ]; sof of evidence that is procurable, h

to dethrone Queen Mamea, but, by her
usual good generalship, the woman
ruler managed to retreat to the noun
tains of Huaheme in good order, where
she now awaits the advance of the
enemy.
France, always jealous of her South
sea possessions, has been for some time
trying to annex Huaheme and Boil
abola, both of which islands lie in a
northwesterly direction from Tahiti,
and have long been coveted by the
Germans. Under the tricolor pro-
tectorate has been established on Boil
abola, but to French aggression brave
Mamea has been f1ercely opposed

must submit" was the edict sent out
by the governor of Tahiti to the queen.
Her reply was a raid on the French
missionaries near Uturoa and the

of 500 natives held the foreign soldiers
back, losing but a few followers in

The defiance Of Mamea is not alto
gether matter of recent record. Seven
years ago the governor of Tahiti dis
patched a gunboat to the island, land
ed troops on the beach and tried to
starve Mamea into subjugation. The
queen fled to the mountains, whose
caves and retreats she had stocked
so well with provisions that after
ten months of siege, the French re-
tired. Mamea then returned to the
beach and remained there until about

devoid of the finer feelings often dis.
played in the natives of the Gilbert
and Marshall groups. The men and
women alike are exceedingly quarrel
some, and when not at war with the
French are fighting among themselves.
Thus the forces of Mamea have been
reduced to about 500 fighting men and
300 fighting women.
The Amazon of Huaheme is not so
cruel nor so heartless as her African
sister, but she is capable of enduring
great suffering, and in battle shows
savage cruelty. She is weaker physi-
caHy than the Dahomeyan terrors, but
her power Of endurance is as great.
Huaheme's Amazons can live DAYS on
a starvation allowance Of food. and
perform long Journeys over the Hua-
heme heights without thought of rest.
Queen Mamea has not lived an alto
gether unromantic life. A herder
named Macello attracted the fancy of
the woman, and she offered to make
him chief among her tribesmen if he
would marry her. The man was we'd
ded to half-caste girl of Tahiti, and
left poor Mamea in the lurch. The
queen never had any use for white
men from that time. 4>.4...< 49,.
The French have a large fleet Of
cutters cruising about among the Pau
motu islands, and these were recently
concentrated at Huaheme with the OBJ
Ject of driving Mamea into the noun
tains and keeping, her there until she

The day of the 9gfreak magazine
seems to have afrfNess. per1ect
flood of publications. strange in form.
weird as to illustration and quaint of
type, is pouring ont and almost en-
quilting the familiar, and more sober
monthly literature to which we have
been accustomed. We can hardly af-
ford to call it a flood either. That al
most seems too dignified. An out
break, an eruption, an epidemic, would
indicate it better.
Every bookstall bears evidence of
the new fad. 1t is safe to say that
there are at least twenty freakish pc

seen the light within the past year,
and which may never live to see the

caused this remarkable outburst, it is
hard to say, but 1t seems to be in
some way indefinitely connected with
the new school of art commonly
known as the Beardsleyesque, frern
