~~~ ASHINGTON-The interest
in the personality of Grover
WIZ Cleveland has naturally re-
called many incidents of
the days when his was the
most forceful figure in
American public life Nothing which
he ever did while president attracted
more attention than the famous mes
sage he sent to congress in December,
1895, on the subject of Great Britain's
controversy with Venezuela over the
boundary between the latter country
and British Guiana In an interview
with New York Times correspond
ent Hilary A. Herbert, then Mr. Cleve-
lands secretary of the navy, now for
the first time tells the true inwardness
of that historic episode.
1.-The foundation for Mr.. Cleveland's
celebrated Venezuelan message" said
Mr.. Herbert, was the note of Secre-
tary of State O1ney to Lord Sails
bury, the British minister for foreign
affairs. That note was written during
the congressional recess, three months
before congress convened, and before
Mr.. C1eveland's message was prepared.
The Olney note was drafted after a
consultation between the secretary of
state and Mr. Cleveland during the
summer at Great Gables on Buzzard'S
bay. Mr.. Olney went there, as / have
always understood, to confer with the
president about the Venezuelan ques-
ton. The note was submitted to every
member of the cabinet / remember

summer and copy of The note came
to me and Mr.. Carlisle, the secretary
of the treasury and Mr. Lamont the
secretary of war, and we considered
the policy together.
Il remember that as the note devel-
oped it almost took my breath away
and I was inclined to oppose it's presen-
tation, but before the reading was fin
ished 1 realized its force and value and

why it is the best of personal and family

suggestions were made as to amend
ments, perhaps slight, and my under
standing is that these amendments
were subsequently adopted. All the
cabinet knew for three or four months
before congress convened that this
bombshell had been prepared. Never
theless, it was kept absolutely secret
Nobody knew anything about it, As
Mr.. Cleveland himself said, he did not
believe in doing public business on the
sidewalk The message that Mr.. Cleve-
land afterwards wrote was prepared by
himself just after he had returned from
an outing. He had gone down the
river on fishing excursion, and when
he got back the message was written,
occupying him for two days. The mes
sage was read to the cabinet before it
was sent in do not remember wheth-
er any suggestions were asked or Of

cLEvELANp.s HOME LIFE.

~ ONE occasion a New York paper
ID which was especially virulent in
it's treatment of Mr.. Cleveland
printed story to the effect that on
the previous night he had gotten beast
ly drunk and had kicked his wife down
stairs, bruising her terribly and black
ing both her eyes.
Those who knew the charming rela-
lions which existed between the presi-
dent and his wife were indignant at
the publication That 1t was abso-
lutely false 1 quickly discovered for
myself. Crossing the White House
grounds, saw Mrs. Cleveland bending
over a bed of pansies in which she
took special interest. She was beau
tiful picture that morning Her eyes
were as clear as crystal, showing that
she had slept well. and her skin with
out a blemish. The alleged brutality
of Mr.. Cleveland towards his wife was
frequently described by the paper re-
ferred to, but never did see any justi-
fication or foundation for the state
ments it published. Because the presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland refused to ex-
hibit their children to tho gaping
crowd reports were published that
they were idiots and that one of them
was blind. These reports were not
only false, but SO cruel as to arouse
the hearty indignation of the friends
of the president and his wife.
1t has been often said, and with JUS
