THE VENEZUELAN AFFAIR.
Current Feeling Of Optimism Not Jus.
titled by Facts.


New York. Jan. 31.-The current
feeling OF optimism respecting the
Venezuelan affair is not justified by
the facts, declares the London CORE
spondent of The Tribune. 1t suits
the purpose of the German emperor
to have the Official organs announce
that the powers are waiting for sat
isfactory evidence respecting the Sc
curity offered by Venezuela and Mr..
Balfour and Lord Lansdowne are also
pleased to have the public believe that
settlement is simply q matter or
ed out. Meanwhile they are max
ing strenuous efforts to extricate
themselves from the results of their
own follies and blunders In time for
the meeting of parliament A single
day may witness transformation in
the situation, but the signs were not
hopeful yesterday.
Mr.. Balfour and Lord Lansdowne,
having made themselves responsible
for the collection of a Job lot of Ger
man claims, many of which are taint-
ed with suspicion and cannot be class
ed with the British claims, are anx-
iously working in the dark and trying
to patch up settlement, but they
have not yet succeeded. They can
not saddle upon Germany response
bility for the affronts to the United
States involved in these policies when
the alliance has not been repudiated.

Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago operated a float

operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. [ employed over one hundred hands,
and the work conducted as much in water as

account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. | procured it, and those who
sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands

consumers of $3.50 ton, beginning
Monday next. They say there is now
plainly Of coal in the city and that
about 10000 tons is arriving at tide

expected that New York would have
severe weather in January and had
stored over 100000 tons along the
railroads in order to make coal scarce
in the city. The mild weather has
spoiled their plans and they now are
releasing the coal.

KAISER TALKED ANoLoPHoHBIA
German Emperor Alleged to Have
Made Indiscreet Remarks.

New York, Jan. 31.-The National
Review again refers to it's famous
story about the German emperor's
visit to an American yacht saying. ac-
cording to the London correspondent
of The Tribune:
THE story may now be regarded as
no longer challenged in any compe-
tent quarter. 1t is beyond as Sos-
sible doubt that the kaiser did perpe-
trate an appalling indiscretion by
talking anglophobia at large In the
presence of strangers and discussing
his uncle, our king, in the most Of
fensive manner. Judging from the
communications which have reached
us during the last two months. this
incident made deep impression upon
our readers. The reason we lay so
much stress upon 1t is that it affords
a conclusive reason why the German
emperor should not be allowed to oc-
cupy the position which he covets, in
this country, of being the power be-
hind the throne"
