LONDON, Jan. 6.-The special COM
missioner of the London Daily Chron-
icle cables as follows:
The London correspondents of the
American papers having revealed my
identity here,I have been overwhelmed
with expressions of sympathy and
thanks to the Chronicle for putting
the American case and opinion before
the British public. ALI the papers COM
ment most kindly. AS I have tried
to explain, Americans believe their at
titude of demanding arbitration is one
with which civilized men must SYM
pathiZe. In support Of this, the whole
Union will speak with absolutely one
voice. But at the same time there is
here an infinite desire to see an i'm
mediate amicable settlement. I have
today talked with several men who
are being denounced in New York as
jingoeS, and the above are their ear
nest sentiments. The people simply
cannot understand Lord Salisbury S
attitude. A senator said to me today
he thinks the case the same as if a
millionaire quarreled with his intimate
friend because he had lost ten cents
in his house. I repeat, with every
ounce of influence I possess, that ev-
erybody here worth considering de-
sires peace. If Lord Salisbury can
find way to make the slightest ad-
vance towards recognition of the
American attitude, he will be received
with open arms.

in the White house man who, whether
through personal ambition or desire
to lift one Of his favorites to the chair
which he now occupies, is. playing a
mastery game of politics. In saying
this I am not giving my opinion, which
might not count for much, but that Of
the Republican leaders with whom I
have talked. They are worried about
the future. They are wondering what
MIR. Cleveland will do next. They are
fearful that the man in the White
house will contrive to produce more d.
visions in the Republican ranks, that
he will arrange other means of car
rying public sentiment with him. And
they are fearful, finally, that the pres
ident will be named for his own sue
cessor.
The fear of the Republican leaders is
not alone that Mr.. Cleveland has made
himself the center Of a popular and
patriotic issue, but that he is arranging
the money power Of the country, the
great corporations, the railways the
banks, the manufacturers, the mer-
chants. the men of affairs and respon-
sibility, the men who control other
men, against the attitude of the Repub-
lican party on the financial question.
With the one issue it is feared the pres
ident will catch the sympathy of the
masses, who are for their country every
time, right or wrong, heaven bless em,
and with the other gain in confidence
of the leaders of public opinion. If Mr..
Cleveland can do this, the Republicans
are asking themselves, cannot he force
his party to nominate him next year,
against its will perhaps, and can he not
also force 1T to indorse, once more
against it's will.his policy Of retiring the
greenbacks? Here is where the maneu-
vering for public Endorsement is to
come. 1t is already at hand
AS the fight goes on the shrewd and
practical Republican leaders. men like
Chairman Carter. who have been in the
thick Of the fight in past contests. fear
the presidents scheme is almost invul-
nerable, because, with lively foreign
policy, he catches the masses, who are
not inclined to agree with him concern
ing retirement of the greenbacks, while
with the financial plan he catches the
capitalist, who SILVER at the first note
of war. 1t is, therefore, surprising that
one Of the leading Republicans should
say, as he did today: Grover Cleve-
land is the smartest politician we have
had In the White house since the DAYS
of Andrew Jackson

ment when England needs every
friend she has, for the mere sake OF
dignity or obstinate adherence to the
letter of diplomacy is appalling to con-
template.
Regarding the Aberdeen dispatches
and the Schomburgk line, l must ex-
plain my attitude. I assert nothing,
my means of information being OBJ
viously limited. l simply invite the re-
futation of the statement that the cor
respondence l cabled proves that Eng
land in 1871 freely admitted the
Schomburgk line to be destitute of any
authority or validity as the basis OF
territorial claim. The New York Even
ing Post, indulging in some clever
fooling at my expense, quotes Lord
Aberdeen's letter Of March 80, 1874,
which states that England, by remoy-
ing the boundary posts, did not cede
any rights which she might consider
herself authorized to claim in the fut-
ure. Unless a better retort is possible,
my position is indeed unassailable. l
base my contention upon the British
official statements at the actual time
the boundary posts were removed. NO
eX post facto explanations three wears
later can affect this. If England made
any condition when she ordered the
practical destruction of the Schomburgk
line in 1871 in response to the repeated
arguments demands and 1nSlStence OF
the Venezuelan government, then let
us have the official correspondence con-
tanning those contentious. If these
cannot be produced, then my docu-
ments and contentious hold the field.
But the question at stake is in
finitely bigger than such arguments,
or any promiscuous discussion Of the
Monroe doctrine The American gov
eminent and people would be perfectly
willing, and, indeed, glad, to see Eng
land secure any amount of Venezue-
Ian territory if her claim is capable
of historical and diplomatic proof
They are willing to meet England in
any direction and to any extent in find
ing a competent tribunal to determine
this. They ask that Lord Salisbury's
blunt refusal and President Cleve-
lands menaces alike be set aside and
forgotten. They regard the demand
for arbitration as the sacred right of
a great, powerful nation, standing on
what it believes to be a matter Of prin-
cipal Now, Lord Salisbury is great
man. He has a lifetime reputation for
brilliant foreign craftsmanship. What
ever he may do, his patriotism and
dignity are beyond question. The
American government and 100000
people earnestly and solemnly invite
him to forget the past and meet their
national convictions half way. If he
will, the voice of every reasonable man
on this continent will be raised to
praise him. To my absolute knowl-
edge, I am expressing the heartfelt
sentiment of the American govern

Why, That LIS Politics.

Chicago Chronicle.
The Dingley committee says 1t has
put a duty on wool and "a compensa-
tory duty equivalent to the duty on
wool" upon woolen goods, which is
always necessary when a duty is
placed ON WOOL Why always neces-
sary? Is it because the duty on wool
increases the price of that article?
Certainly The Compensatory duty
is necessary to enable the manufact-
urers to eXtort higher prices for their
goods to make up for the higher
prices they have to pay for wool. Then
why do the Dingley economists tell
people that duties make the prices of
the things on which they are laid low
er and not higher? They know they
do not tell the truth when they make
that assertion. Still they persist in
making it because they know the peo-
pie have no use for party which adj
mits its purposes to make prices high
er by legislation.

Washington Are Scared.
Walter Wellman, the Times-Herald
correspondent, is one Of the best in
formed writers among the Washing
ton correspondents. He gets on the in
side of affairs more frequently and ac-
curately than any other man in the
corps. In a recent letter to his paper
he gives the following interior view of
the presidential outlook as seen by the
leaders Of the Republicans:
cit is pretty evident that we are go
ing to have something besides a yellow
dog fight on our hands next year." So
said Chairman Carter, of the national
Republican committee, few days ago.
Many other observing Republicans
agree with Mr. Carter. They have come
to the conclusion that their party will
not be able to elect any sort Of cam
didate on any sort of platform in the
coming presidential contest. The belief
that they can win even with a yellow
dog has given place to a fear that
they may not win at all. 1t is easy
enough to perceive what has come DER
the spirit of their dreams. Mr.. Car
ter and his fellow Republicans frankly

IMPROVED HEADLIGHT.
Follows the Track on Curves as
Well as on Straight Stretches.

An ingenious machinist in the Duns-
muir railroad shops is credited with
having constructed an automatic head
light for engines. In going around
sharp curves headlights on locomotives,
being made stationary, throw the light
straight ahead, instead of throwing it
SO that it follows the track, where the
light should be at all times-a defect
now remedied in this new arrangement
The headlight is made to hang on
two pivots, one on top, the framework
that holds it being fastened to the
smokestack, and the bottom one to the
boiler head. From the bottom of the
headlight, also, two chains run to the
ends Of an extending arm, which latter
is connected by a rod that runs to the
pilot wheels truck. Thus as the pivot
wheels strike a curve the outside wheel
FORCES slightly ahead, of course, and
this movement works the rod and chain
just enough to move the headlight so
that the reflection is cast directly
ahead on the track.
