HOSTILE TO THE BRITISH
Venezuela Views Every Move of
Salisbury With Suspicion.

New York. ian. PA World dispa tch
from Caracas says:
THE admiralty observes secrecy. The
sailing of the American squadron now
at anchor in Hampton roads to watch
the Venezuela coast is anxiously looked
for. Englands proposed method of ar
bitration, which has been published in
the American press, is viewed here with
suspicion, especially Chile's offer of me-
iation. Venezuela could never con-
sent to this. Chile has been Venezuela's
enemy. Chile is also opposed to the
United States and friendly to England
IAN anti-English sentiment continues
popular. An effigy Of Salisbury was
prepared and carried through the
streets, the multitude jeering it. The
procession stopped at the plaza, where
a mock trial was held. The effigy was
sentenced to death. The excited people
pulled the clothing from the figure and
tore it into pieces, which We're distrib-
uted among the crowd"

handed down an opinion on the motion
to quash the indictments Of the Santa

We're upheld in part and quashed in
part. John A. Henley, general traffic
manager Of the Santa F'e, and eX-Presi-

been properly indicted on two counts.
Those counts set forth that from April
to November, 1892, the two officials vo-
lated the act by giving rebates and
drawbacks
The indictment as to Nelson Morris
was quaShed on the ground that the
rate was discrimination against Ship

ceptance of the rate in no wise made
him guilty of discrimination.
The indictments against Isaac
Thompson, the Kansas City shipper
and Manager Jenkins of the Hammond
Packing Company were quashed. These
decisions are in effect that a shipper
could not be held for violation in ac-
cepting a rebate, and is the first legal

Chicago. Jan. 21-A special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
Associate Justice Field will go upon
the retired list at the close of this term
Of the supreme court if he keeps the
promise he made recently to the presi-
dent and Senator White of California
The senator is authority for the above
statement, and for the informa ton that
Justice Fields successor has been prac-
tically agreed upon in the person of
Judge Erkins NJ. Ross, whom President
Cleveland in his first term appointed
on the United States circuit bench in
California. Judge Ross nomination will
be satisfactory to Justice Field. Senat-
or White brought about a reconciliation
between the president and Justice Field
recently at the white house.
IS A PURE FALSEHOOD.
Washington, Jan. 2.-When Justice
Field was asked today regarding the
report that he would retire at the end
of his term, he said:
NO such statement has been author
zed by me. OF course a man at my
time of life may retire from the bench
at any time. If my health should not
permit me to attend to my duties easily,
| should not hesitate to leave the bench,
but as long as | can attend to these
duties with ease I have no intention of
retiring. At present my health is very
good. Should I again be i'll, as I was
last year, I should not hesitate to retire.
These stories in regard to my inten-
ton of retiring have been circulated re-
peatedly, but without any authority"

Forces OF Both Blackburn and II hutci
ou> picious and Determined
Cincinnati, Jan. ia CONNIE drcial
Gazette special from Frankfort, XIV,
says.
The city is filling up tonight with
friends of Blackburn and Hunter. Al
though the leaders of both parties had
agreed there should be no ballotinb for
senator until February 4, or until after
the successor of Wilson had quail fed,
yet the nominees of the caucuses seem
to be so suspicious of each other that
they are marshaling their forces here
for lalloting in both houses separately
on Tuesday, and friends of Hunter are
claiming he will he declared ele ected
Wednesday.
Some republican senators insist they
will join the democrats in postpoh4ng
the election until after Wilson's SUD dces-
sOr arrives. Some of Hunters most ar
dent supporters think the scheme to
postpone the election Of a senator was
trick in the interest of Bradley or
Ferkes and that they shall there fore
not abide by it,
In addition to the opposition from
those who want to stand by the ON
promise agreement Populist Poor has
become estranged from Hunter, but
says he will never go to Black burn so it
does not seem possible for any elec ion
of a senator to occur this week. A dead
lock between Hunter and Blackbh urn
with their fighting friends on the
ground is expected to make trouble.
Both sides are very determined and US
picious."
