Mr.. HENRY NORMAN, the special com
missioner of the London Daily Chronicle,
cables his paper from Washington as
follows under date of January 6:
"The tide of opinion here regarding
England seems to me to be distinctly
turning. owing, believe, both to the
Chronicles utterances and to England's
anxious foreign crisis. Many utterances
of the American press prove the truth
of my assertions that all the best Amer
ican opinion is earnestly desirous of a
friendly and dignified settlement.
To-day had conversation on this
subject with Senator Gray of Delaware,
an intimate and devoted friend of MI.
Cleveland; man who is commonly re-
garded as the Presidents special mouth
piece in the senate, and prominent
member of the foreign relations commit
tee. Senator Gray said: i don't think
the President made or intended to make
threat toward the British government
in his message, but he did mean to ex'
press in the strongest way possible his
own feeling and what believe to be the
feeling of all the people of this country
regarding supposed British refusal of
arbitration in the Venezuelan matter.
except with reference to an arbitrary
line made up by the British government
itself. know there is sincere regret
and dismay among all right minded
people here that more conciiiatory dis
position was not exhibited by Lord
Salisbury in regard to the general prin.
ciple of arbitration. II the British gov
ernment should show kindly disposi-
tion toward this principle l believe it
would be greatly welcomed by the peo-
pie Of this country. So far as there be-
ing any loss of prestige to the British
government in this course. it would make
me more hopeful that the great princi-
pie of arbitration will find expression in
a convention between the two countries
covering all questions that might arise.
"The present moment is golden one
to secure American good will. Can Eng
land afford to lose it? II Lord Salisbury
takes no step and sees no way then let
him reflect that his attitude is identical
with that fatal one which lost Great
Britain her colonies more than century
ago. The American people are eagerly
listening for some word from him. The
cost of it would be slight and the gain
colossal"

THE campaign in Cuba is being close
ly observed by the administration in
view of the reiterated reports of insur-
gent successes in their operations near
Havana. In the event that they actually
attack the capital Of the island in force
it is possible that the north Allan
tic squadron may be ordered to Ha-
vana in order to be in position to guard
American interests during the dis
turbed conditions that may be expected
to accompany a siege,~ It is not probable
that exception could be taken to the
presence Of our vessels in such case by
Spain, as it IL customary for powers hav-
ing large interests and many citizens in
city 80 beset to have some naval force
present for their protection in an emerg-
ency, as was the case at Rio Janeiro, for
instance.

with the secretary of the treasury to re-
deem greenbacks and treasury notes in

LONDON, Jan. 2.-The newspapers un-
animously express approval of the action
of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain in
ordering the return of the Transvaal eA-
pedition. The Liberal newspapers es-
pecially, laud the statesmanlike wisdom
of the Colonial Secretary, while they de-
nounce DIR. Jameson as lawless free
booter. The Conservative papers recall
proofs of DIR. Jameson's ability and dis
cretion, and urge that he be not con-
demned until the reason for his action
shall have been made known.
The Times gives qualified approval
of Mr.. Chamberlain course and ex-
presses the strongest sympathy with the
foreign residents of the South African
Republic. 1t also prints despatch
from it's Berlin correspondent in which
he says:
"The crisis in the Transvaal endangers
British relations with Germany. The
Government hitherto has endeavored to
restrain the newspapers over which it
has some control, but, judging from
what has already been written, one does
not like to contemplate what will happen
when the restraint is removed.
"Inasmuch as the numerous German
residents of the Transvaal cannot but be
affected by serious breach of the pub
lie peace, Germany cannot be at a loss
for concrete cause for interference if
she is determined to interfere.
There is some reason to believe that
she is determined and resolved under no
circumstances to tolerate disturbance
of the status quo in South Africa.

THEORETICALLY. this popular loan is
victory for Mr.. Cleveland. Practically,
financiers cay, it is victory for the syn
dicate. In this connection most OF the
argument has to do with the fact that
there Is nothing in Secretary Carlisle's
circular to prevent gold being drawn
from the treasury to pay for the bonds.
Treasury officials claim this has been
omitted because it is matter beyond
the control of the Secretary or the Pres
ident. With the syndicate hard and
fast arrangement could be made, but
with the country at large this is said to
be impracticable. These men declare
that those who have forced the Presi'
dents hand in this matter will be
obliged ultimately to admit the wisdom
of his original course. Mr.. Cleveland,
it is stated, has at no time wanted to
issue bonds, but when the situation is
forced upon him he wanted, as busi-
ness man, to make the best arrangement
possible for the country.

The Pail Mall Gazette says that Dr.
Jameson, upon receiving summons to
proceed to johannesburg, to assist the
Uitlanders, resigned his position as Ad.
ministrator of the British South Africa
Company, and that his followers also
severed their connection with the COM
pany. The Gazette asserts 1000 armed
men, who have been in readiness at Bu-
luwayo to march into the Transvaal, are
probably now en- route for that territory.
The Star advises Mr.. Chamberlain,
Secretary of State for the Colonies, to
cancel the charter of the British South
Africa Company.

The excitement in England in regard
to President Cleveland and the Venez-
uelan question gave place last week to
South African affairs, and the invasion
of the Transvaal by an armed force of
the British South African company, un-
der command of DIR. Jameson. The
avowed purpose was to assist the foreign
residents of the Transvaal to enforce
their demand that they be granted equal
political rights with the Beers. The
Governor of Natal telegraphs upon Boer
authority that 130 of DIR. Jameson's fol-
lowers we're killed and that thirty seven
were wounded. On the Boer side, it is
added, only three we're killed and five
wounded.

Lyman ], Gage. president OF the First
National bank, Chicago, and Cleve-
land man in politics, was confident that
the syndicate would get the bonds. He
said:
"Our people are not as yet educated
in bidding for public loans. The bust
ness interests of the country would have
been u, materially enhanced by the imme-
diats sale Of The bonds to the Morgan
syndicate. The syndicate is all ready to
do business. a I'd the delay pending the
limit, February 5. is inimical to the
business interests Of the country. The
matter of few millions which might oe
made by the slndiea'e over the price at
which the government may sell the
bonds To the people is incOnsiderable
when compared with the business in
teresis. IL is a question whether the
people will subscribe for the full amount,
The Universalist., 1896-01-11

A GREAT sensation has been caused in
Europe by the difficulties that have
arisen in the Transvaal between the
Beers and the Uitlanders, or aliens, be-
cause of the large interests of Europeans
engaged in the gold mines of the Repub-
lie. In France also public opinion and
of the official world is very distinctly
against the aliens, that is to say, against
the English. The origin of the trouble
is very simple.
The old Beers, who are the descen-
dants of the original Dutch settlers, re-
fuse to allow the Uitlanders, who are
nearly all Englishmen, to take part in
the direction of the affairs of the Trans
vaal.
The Beers are we'll acquainted with
the English and they know that if the
English or the partisans of England
have the least share in the Government
of Transvaal the independence of the
Republic would quickly disappear, and
that Cecil Rhodes, who has always had
desire to annex all South Africa to
the Cape Colony, would speedily find
means to realize his ambitions.
The Transvaal region is exceedingly
rich, and England has never ceased
to regret not having taken the Boer
country long ago. Europe, which is
thoroughly acquainted with the cynical
procedure and sans gene methods of
England begins to think that affairs
have gone far enough. Every time that
a similar case presents itself Europe will
be for those whose liberties are menaced
by England.
The Universalist., 1896-01-11

There is one contingency in the mat
ter which seems to be overlooked by
those who have advocated popular
loan. People who want to buy bonds
may now go to the treasury for gold and
the consequent raid would compel the
private sale of bonds on short notice be-
fore the expiration Of time within which
bids may by submitted. 1t is generally
felt that the President has placad him
self where the last issue of bonds will
have to be either applauded or con-
demned. If this popular loan is all
taken up by the people it will show that
the last issue to the syndicate was un
called for. If, on the other hand it turns
out that the public cannot take up the
bonds in gold it will vindicate the ad-
ministration. Up to the time of closing
the department on Monday the treasury
officials had received only few tele-
grams concerning the new loan, and
these were not of character to indicate
how the announcement had been re-
ceived throughout the country.
