Emperor William Stormy Petrol
of Venezuelan Situation.

" Especial 70 The NeEYork Tribune By French Cabe1
Copyright: 1902: BY The Tribune Associaton)
Paris. Dec 20.-Emperor William is regarded
In France as the stormy petrol OF the Venezuelan
situation. Public opinion is getting more and
more sceptical as to peaceful solution. NJ
Delcasse, Minister of Foreign Affairs is con-
graduated even by his political opponents for
having last year secured the settlement Of the
French claims upon Venezuela by what virtually
amounts TO first mortgage On the Venezuelan
revenues. The commercial interests of France
in Venezuela, amounting 10 five millions
Of dollars yearly, are second only to those Of
the United States in Venezuela, and far more
important than those Of England Germany.
In France the feeling is decidedly against the
idea Of the Anglo-German blockade, which. by
affecting French as well as other ships, would
bring the foreign trade Of Venezuela to a dead
lock, besides iTnpairing, if not destroying, the
revenue receipts upon which France holds her
first mortgage.
Ernest Judet, the political editor Of the Petit
Journal," declares that Germany, without con-
sulting the rest Of Europe, has framed great
issue of antagonism between the Old and the
New World, and that matter what the out
come may be Europe cannot congratulate her
self upon the champion who, with such undue
precipitation, has dared to speak and act in her
name. Emperor William. says NJ. Judet, sought
10 fnffct serious breach in the Monroe Doc
tr1ne, but in reality he is about to add new
strength to that doctrine and consecrate it by
the success of enormous precedent
The Petit Journal" publishes copious passages
from President Roosevelt's speeches and writ
ings showing that the United States Govern
ment would. in Of extreme emergency, risk
war with both England and Germany rather
than take back water on the United States prin-
ciple Of refusal to permit any European mill
tary occupation of South American territory.
The Petit Journal" even goes so far as TO show
that in the event of such a the American
conquest Of Canada would more than compen-
safe for the probable loss of the American
navy. The Petit Journal declares that the
English nation realizes this and consequently
deeply regrets the needless rapidity and brutal
iry shown by Emperor William. and is really
anxious for arbitration. The Petit Journals
conclusion is that the Monroe Doctrine, welded
by serious. cool headed administration such
as now exists at Washington, is a weapon which
Is likely TO inaict cruel humiliation on those
who have imprudentiy sought elude its
obligations Already the United States by the
refusal to allow the blockade leaves to England

SUICIDE AFTER SENTENCE.
Tragic End of One of the London Bank
note Forgers.

London, Dec. 20.-The three banknote forgers
who were committed for trial on December lo
pleaded guilty and were sentenced in the Old
Bailey this morning. Philip Bernstein to twenty
years, Solomon Barmash to fifteen years and
William Barmash to ten years imprisonment
After being removed to their cells Solomon
Barmash shot and killed himself
The police were dumfounded at B2rm2sh g
death The prisoner became paralyzed after his
arrest and was carried to the infirmary. While
in court to-day he was apparently helpless 1t
is thought some friends who visited him In the
inflrrnary some days ago gave him the revolver
with which he killed himself
The trial of the six other defendants in the
case is proceeding.
On January % last Joseph Stern called at the
State Bank. in Grand-st., and presented five
Bank of England notes-two f5. two f10 and one
EGO notes-and asked that they be changed
The bank, not handling many foreign notes, ex-
amined the bills very carefully. One OF the
clerks in comparing them with a genuine TO
note which they happened to have, thought he
found a slight discrepancy In the shading or
the pound mark.
The teller then decided to send the notes to
regular money changer and told the man pre-
senting them that If he would call later In the
day they would give him the current American
coin for the notes. This seemed perfectly agree
able to the man, and he left. The notes were
sent to the banking house of G. B. Richards &
Co, No. 81 Broadway, and this firm reported
that the notes, in their opinion, were counter
feits.
When the man returned TO the bank he was
arrested. He informed Chief Flynn of the Secret
Service that he had recently arrived from Ant
werp as a stowaway. Stern remained in Ludlow
Street Jail for about two months and was re-
leased for lack of evidence He was kept under
constant surveillance, however and in June
went 10 England. Word was sent ahead OF him.
and when he arrived the British detectives took
I'M the surveillance anew. Through following
Stern the three men convicted in Old Bailey OF
whom Solomon Barmash was one, were caught.
