TAlGNY COMING TOAMERICA

Washington, January H.--Convinced OF
the sincerity of the assurances received
from France regarding her loyalty to the
Monroe doctrine, and all that it involves,
the Washington government has given the
Paris government a free hand in the ex-
euution of the programme for the solution
of the Venezuelan problem. The confer
ences on this phase of the question oc-
CURED some time ago, and Mr.. Jusserand,
the French ambassador, has final assur-
ances that the efforts of France to OBJ
tain diplomatic treatment for her charge
d affaires at Caracas will not be inter-
preted at Washington as In any way
violative of the Monroe doctrine.
The first move in the execution of the
French programme may be expected at
any time but on this point the French
government is observing the strictest Sc
creey. the orders to the squadron going
direct from Paris and not through the
embassy here.
Taieny Coming to America.
M. Taigny, the retiring French charge,
who 1t Is believed Is now at Curacao,
will come to this country on his way
home, and on his arrival at New York
he will find an invitation from the
French ambassador at Washington to
spend several days here in conference. 1t
Is not unlikely that M. Taigny Will also
see Secretary Root.
The whereabouts of the French ships
remain mystery so far as the officials
OF the state department and French en-
bassy are concerned 1t is stated 1t is as
sumed, however, that they are daily In
touch with the ministry of marine at
Paris, and are awaiting an opportunity
TO take such action as their instructions
may provide for.
Cannot Declpher Instructions.
At last accounts NJ. Taigny had not
been able to decipher three long cable
grams received on board the Martinique,
which contained important instructions
from the foreign office. one of which d.
rected him TO await the arrival of a
French man-of-war to take him away. M,
Taigny went on board the French steam
ship to obtain the instructions, intending
to return with them to Caracas, and de-
cipher them IN the Legation, where the
cipher code is kept under close guard.
He was not allowed to land, however, and
1t will be impossible for him to become
acquainted with the nature Of the instruc-
tions until his arrival In Washington,
whore he will have access to the embassy
code. The state department at late hour
had received no advices from Minister
Russell at Caracas.
Great interest is felt in diplomatic cir
cles here about the exact nature Of a
sentence found Objectionable In the note
of President Castro to M. Taigny. This
sentence In substance referred to the pre-
sentation by NJ Taigny of a note to the
Venezuelan government, and announced
the complete severance of all relations un-
III adequate explanation was made of the
conduct which was in effect described by
President Castro as not customary among
vpaII-ma annered nations.

BRYAN oPPoyTTIoNS PAS
 ACUTE STAGE

The opposition to william J. Bryan on account ot his declaration in favor of government ownership of railroads seems to have passed the acute stage. His explanations of his position on this question have been such as to quiet those who feared that he is drifting to- ward socialism. In speeches and letters he has explained that he would greatly prefer private ownership of railroads to public ownership. He says, and every body who has had experience knows that he speaks the truth, that the great railroad corporations are the most corrupslng influence in American political and commercial life. He says they must be placed where they can no longer harm the great masses of the people. Mr. Bryan says if this could be done through government regulation thst it would be far better than that it were done through government opera tion. He has chosen government own ership as the choice of two evils, and he suggests it ss an ultimate remedy. Be admits that it will not be tried until after there shall have been trial at government supervision. This is the plain meaning of the New York speech, and it sppers quite satisfactory whom viewed in the light of subsequent speeches.
 It is pointed out that MT. Brysn's petition isnot so drastic as wasfhatofthe democratic platform in New York state four wears ago, written by David B. Hill, which demanded the government ownership of coal mines. That was offered ss an alternative for relief from the conditions brought about by the strike when lsboring men rebelled from the oppression of the coal trust. At that time .the democrats came within 5000 of carrying New York state. The public ownership plank was approved by.conssrystive men everywhere.
