VENEZUELAN SITUATION.
Negotiations will Not be Resumed
Until Sir Julian Paunce-
fote Returns.

Copyrighted, 1896, by the Associated Press)
London, Oct. 7.-Regarding the various
reports in Great Britain and the United
States with reference to the Venezuelan
question, the Associated press learns
that there has been no negotiating be-
tween London and Washington since the
blue book Of July was issued.
The story cabled from Washington to
the effect that Great Britain has made
further concessions amounting almost to
a complete surrender of her claims is
pronounced to be absolutely untrue and
it is added that negotiations regarding
Venezuela will be resumed upon the re-
turn Of Sir Julian Pauncefote, the Brit
ish ambassador, to Washington, with the
instructions of the Marquis of Salisbury
in the case. Sir Julian Pauncefote was
booked to sail by an earlier steamer but
he has been obliged to postpone his de-
parture on account Of diplomatic bust
ness and will start for New York from
Liverpool on board the White Star line
steamship Germanic on October IA.
Previous to leaving England, Sir
Julian Pauncefote will have another con-
ference with the Marquis of Salisbury
and the ambassador will probably see
the secretary of state for the colonies,
Joseph Chamberlain.

The police are believed to be with
holding the facts in all the cases.

zettc this afternoon publishes dispatch
from Paris saying that the performance
at the opera yesterday evening, which

President FauFe, the Gar and the Car
ina set out early today to visit the prin-
cipal points of interest in Paris Wher-
ever they went they were greeted by
demonstrations of enthusiasm equal to
those which characterized the conduct OF
the crowds yesterday.
First the imperial visitors were taken
to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, from
which they were escorted to the Pan
theon. At the latter place they spent q
few moments beside the tomb of the late
President Carnot. Subsequently they
were shown through the Hotel Des In
valides, where there were assembled q
large number of pensioners of al ranks
Of the French army. At the tomb of
Napoleon the Great, the Gar stood for
few moments as if in contamination.
The Gar shows plainly that he is suf-
fcring from fatigue, being pale and alb

up well under the strain of travel and
sightseeing and acknowledges the plaud-
it's of the throngs along the streets by
gracious smiles.

A DESPOT ON THE BENCH.
Omaha Judge Asks Questions
Which He Perhaps Cannot
Answer.

Omaha, Neb., Oct S.-Merchant Ros-
enbloom of Omaha was today refused his
citizenship papers in the district court
because he could not name the number
of representatives each state has in Con-
gress. Judge Scott, who has obtained
more or less notoriety through his arbi.
trary course on the bench, presided.
RosenDloom was subjected to a severe
fire of cross-questioning, but answered
correctly as to the manner of electing
the President of this country, the re-
quirements of foreign citizen desiring
to become naturalized, the number of
senators and representatives Nebraska
has in Congress, but when asked to
name the number of representatives each
state has in Congress he was stumped.
He offered to name some of them, but
this was not satisfactory to the court.
Becoming somewhat indignant, Rosen-
bloom exclaimed: Il am only a plain
business man, your honor, and do not
have time to study up all these ques-
TONS"
''That does not make any difference"
haughtily replied the court; ''if people
don't know any more about the require
ments than you do should never have
been naturaGzed."
The court closed the book with slam
and CURLY informed the applicant that
he talked too much and could not get
his papers. 5

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 6.-Susan G. Ash
ley, the proprietor of barber
shop in West Madison street, died
July q last. and her administrator,
Dennis J. Quillinan, reported that her
estate amounted to less than $4,000. Yes

bate court he had discovered in an old
trunk, at Mrs. Ashley's former residence,

LOOK TO GLADSTONE.
ST. James Gazetts Wants Him to
Accept the Peerage and Go In
to the Upper House.

London. Oct. S-The resignation Of
Lord Rosebery continued to be the SEN
sation of the afternoon newspapers to-
day. Their comment is given color ac-
cording to the political complexion Of
each Journal Lord Rosebery's decision
was a complete surprise, even to Sir
William Harcourt. A meeting of the
Liberal party will be convened in Lon
don and before Parliament assemblies.
The ST. James Gazette this afternoon,
in the course of a long leading editorial,
suggests way out of the difficulty-Mr.
Gladstone accepting the premiership
with the Deerage which the Queen has
repeatedly offered him-pointing out that
he would thus be spared the worry Of
the House of Commons, where Sir Will
liam Harcourt would assume the leader
ship.
The Westminster Gazette urges that
there should be no undue haste IN choos-
ing Lord Rosebery's successor, adding
that probably there will be no occasion
to select Liberal premier for years and
asserting that in the meantime Sir Will
liam Harcourt is already the leader in
the House of Commons. Continuing, the
Westminster Gazette says: whether
Lord Rosebery is premier or not, 1T is
highly probable that i'll the next few
months he will find himself i'll position
of greater strength and influence than he
ever occupied.
The Pail Mall Gazette remarks: s"The
national uprising has done it's work, but
in the excitement of the moment, de-
posed the wrong gentlema n.Lord Rose
berry instead Of the Sultan
The Star, touching upon the resignation
of Lord Rosebery. says: 'sLord Rose
bery's fall was dramatic and tragic.
The hand that raised him UP pulled him
down. One result of Lord Rosebery's
reign is that it may be predicted that
the Liberals will never again be led by
a peer"
I. P. O'Connor in the Sun says: ''The
truth is that Lord Rosebery never had
a chance He made many mistakes and
his language on the Irish question was
especially open to grave disapproval.
But all the same, he did not get a
chance The situation is grave. #
Mr.. Gladstone's return is impossible, It
popular opinion will not form for Lord
Rosebery to return, the choice must j, lie
between Harcourt and Morley. My
preference is for Morley. as he is more
intimately associated with home rule"

quest your best Offices in their behalf"
Washington, D. c.. Oct. S.-The state
