SAYS IT WAS A
FINANCIAL WAR
Wayne MacVeagh Attacks Powers
Course Before Venezuelan Ar
bitfation Tribunal.

The Hague, Oct. 5.-Wayne Mac
Veagh, senior counsel for the United
States, continuing his argument to-
day before the Venezuelan arbitration
tribunal, declared the question before
the tribunal was one of ethics, namely,
whether or not the war against Ven
ezuela was just and necessary.
He maintained that the complaints
of Great Britain were merely a pre-
text for war and that Venezuela had
far greater right on her side when she
complained, of the dispatch of q Brit
ish vessel from London to the Car
ribbean sea to deliver the cargo OF
arms to the insurgents chief, Genera
Matos, thru the intermediary of agents
at Trinidad.
Counsel said he found no precedent
in history for such a purely financial
war as, he declared, was undertaken
by Great Britain and Germany for the
protection of railroad bondholders ant
in support of the claims of the Dis
conto Gessellschaft. s. g

New York, Oct. 5.-George ]. Gould
has just returned to this city after
having made tour Of investigation
of what is popularity known as "the.
Gould system Of railroads." accom-
panied by his two eldest sons, King
don Gould and Jay Gould, whom he is
diligently instructing in the mysteries
that attend the successful administra-
ton, of great corporate interests.
Mr.. Gould returns to the east more
than ever an optimist, strengthened
in his belief by personal observation
that conditions turnout the country,
and more particularly in the west and
southwest, were never more favorable
than at present; that there is no
| justification for the pessimistic- wave
| that engulfs Wall street, that in due
! course of time the general prosperity

reflex influence on all speculative
trading, and that at no time IN the
history Of the United States have gem
eral conditions for the successful car
rying out Of great business enter

SIT Is true" said Mr.. Gould, that
/ an almost unacco untable wave Of pes
sirnism is now overwhelming Wall
/ street. This wave is erratic and spo-
radio and is not justified by the bust
ness conditions existing in the coun-
| try at large. My own personal OBJ
\ seryations show that crops are ex-
/ ceedingly large-the corn crop being
q bumper; that railroad earnings

II take off my hat to Chamberlain"
he said He is the foremost politician
in England. A tariff wall such as
Chamberlain proposes would inter-

could not get along: at home without
American beef and pork. Canada
might give us cheese and butter, two
very necessary articles, but I think
meat cannot be brought from Aus
tralia.
American beef is landed in Eng
land in perfect condition. 1t is almost
as fresh when landed as If still warm
and there is no supply to take the
place of the Yankee pork. If Chamber
lain is to fail it will be on this food
problem. think the possibility OF
dear food will be the rock on which
he will be wrecked.
II have already thought of what
course I should take In connection
with my American interests. I WOULD
have to look for. markets elsewhere
for my American products.
IF tariff is to be prepared, an
in favor of treating the United States
as If it was one of the colonies. 1
