There Is evidence tending to show that the State department has sent, or is about to send, to London a dispatch on this vexed and vexing question. Sunday newspapers | make haste to call It an ultimatum. One thing certain about it is that it is not an ultimatum, and that Mr. Olney has not noti- fled Lord Salisbury that he must send an answer within ninety days, The latter would be a gratuitous discourtesy. The former would mean war, if the ultimatum were re- Jected. We have not got to that stage yet, nor 1s there the slightest reason to suppose that the Venezuela difficulty will prove un- manageable by diplomacy, or, in the last re- gort, by arbitration. I doubt whether there 18 anything really new in the present state of the controversy, except a new secratary of state, When Mr. Gresham laid his views be- fore the British government they were of course the views of the administration, in other words, of the president, for the presi- dent s the administration. Mr. Cleveland was the president then, and is president now. There have, however, been rumors that in the seclusion of Buzzard's Bay Mr. Cleveland was developing a new interest in forelgn politics. Till lately he had rather neglected foreign affalrs in favor of domestic matters. Mr. Olney, moreover, has strong views, and the two botween them may be supposed to nezuela, fon than in his was at but a straighter argumentative pos that which Mr. Gresham assumed original dispatches. Lord Rosebery that time forelgn minister, a man whose friendship to the United States is warm. Friend as he is, he replied in terms which appeared to leave Mr. Gresham little firm ground to stand on, and the subject dropped. had DEKEU tuwe i oo :n'r.w?:;z.;; at lssue between Great Britain and Venezuela should be submitted to ar- bitration. Lord Rosebery’s answer was three- fold. First, he had already proposed a uhpe-‘ cific arbitration to Venezuela and she had made no reply; second, part of the territory to which Venezuela, for diplomatic renlsnnn and apparently in order to have somet ||n;: to surrender If it came to a bargain, lald claim was unquestionably British territory and could not be made a subject of arbitra- tion; third, in o dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela the United States gov- errment, not having m\svmu‘d"fl protectorate cer Venezuela, lias no standing. ‘lji‘(;xrqv"l“l:;l MONROE DOCTRINE APPLY? This third contention is well enough adapted to ralse in a tolerably definite form the question whether the Monroe (lnrér\m: 1s applicable to this Venezuela dispute. Som of the published accounts represent ;\Ir, (:I- ting that it s, and that the ney as asserting t he States means to rest upon th :‘:"I‘l:‘nl‘:nd to claim a right of interference In. a controversy which England regards n\,\ concerning only herselt and that rather feeble South American republic. It would be prudent to consider the published accounts in a skeptical spirit, The sources of the {nformation thus given are not indicated, and the papers which published it admit that Mr. Olney refuses to say a word on the subject, and that the officials of the State department are equally reserved. The first reports on this subject came from interested capitalists with Venczuelan concessions which they desire to exploit. Mr. Bayard, our am- bassador in London, is said to deny all knowledge of the alleged dispatch. Sir Julian Pauncefote, British a nbassador in Washing- ton, now In Oitawa, says, or is sald to say, that he has no official knowledge of the matter, and that no action has been taken in the premises. He rests, so far as he ex- fires a pistol ention to | his grievances. This method seldom answers in privale life, and still more seldom In state matters, The effect has been to paralyze European diplomacy for the mo- ment and leave the sultan temporary master of the situation. England has nothing to say In defense of the indefensible outburst of her clients, and the Turk hugs himselt more closely than ever in his favorite attitude of masterly inactivity. European diplomacy has confined itself since these deplorable events occurred to protests against police severities and the atrocities of the Mussulman mob in Constantinople itself. The American min- Ister thinks American missionaries in danger, They are always in danger. The British am- bassador, Sir Phillp Currle, a very resolute man, did much to quiet the disturbances by sending officials from the embassy to the of disorder. Under their eyes it was difficult for the Armenlans to renew thelr at- tacks and difficult for the police to maltreat or murder spectators and prisoners. The gleam of hope in the Turkish situation is the appointment of Klamil Pacha as grand viser. He s, for a Turk, liberal and even humane, and Is supposed to be under the influence of the English, It not their nominee. The real authority remains, unhappily, with the sul- tan. scel JUST REMEMBER THIS, South Carolina’s constitutional convention I8 not, or ought not to be, a forelgn or even | an international topic. There Is, however, a London radical journal, the Dally News, which tries to bring one of the states of this repubiic under English jurisdiction, adopting a favorite phras> of Mr. Gladstone, “Under that of the clvilized world.” It blows a blast on its penny trumpet of spuri- ous humanitarianism, just as it did last year about lynchings and other outrages in the south. Now it invokes a strong declaration of public opinfon to prevent the monstrous Injustice of disfranchising the South Caro- lina blacks. 1T think it a monstrous injustics and I do not question the sincerity or good Intentions of the Daily News, but it s un- lucky that this paper should be edited with 80 little sense or discration. It is the mis- sionary spirit which prevails in its office, coupled with zeal not according to knowledge, It treats us as it we were so many Chinese, | to be converted by the emissaries of Exeter hall. There ought to be somebody on its staff with knowledge enough of America to warn its editor that we do not care to be preached at by foreigners, and that his ser- mons about South Carolina will have no other effect than to harden the hearts of the northerners, who would naturally ba dis- posed to provide a public opinion of their own in opposition to Senator Tillman and his convention, STILL ROASTING ROSE. . The sincerity of Mr. Rose's challenge for the America’s cup is still in dispute in Eng- land. The Sporting Weekly, which has been throughout most bitter against us, treats Mr. Rose as an American und plalnly inti- mates that his challenge was conceived In American interests, as if to assure the world that a fair match could not be sailed in American waters. self, offering to withdraw if either Lord Dun. raven or any other member of the Royal Yacht squadron would like to challenge fy | PO%eT® are threatening the porte, the hideous Now comes Mr. Rose him- was never heard of as a yachtsman till last year, and the builder whom he has chosen has no reputation for the production of large yachts, Satanita, his one well known big boat, is good for littla except reaching in a strong wind. The prince of Wales, through his private secretary, Sir Francis Knollys, has thought it worth while to contradict the ridiculous story set afloat here that he !s Mr. Rose's backer. A London paper announces that Lord Salis- bury is about to fill the post laureateship, which has remained vacant since Tennyson's death, and that the new poet laureate will be a journalist. It Is suggested here that Sir Bdwin Arnold is meant, but I imagine not. Sir Edwin Arnold's poetical reputation in Engl is about on a level with that of Sir Lewis Morris, and neither of them is thought a poet. The reference is probably to Mr. Alfred Austin, who s a poet, though not of the first order, a journalist of dis- tinetlon, who writes leading articles for the conservative organ, the Standard, and a per- sonal friend of Lord Salisbury. The critical opinion of England will disapprove this choice for one simple reason: It has long been agreed that the laureateship should either be left vacant or be offerad to Mr. Swin- burne. As it is supposed that Mr. Swin- burne would not accept it, the preference Is that the place should remain unfilled. GEORGE W. SMALLEY. FUNERAL OF LOUIS PASTEUR. Remuins Bscorted to Notre Dame by n Large Concourse of People. PARIS, Oct. 5.—The funeral cortege con- veying the remains of the late Prof. Louls Pasteur to Notre Dame cathedral, left the Pasteur institute at 10:30 a. m. General Saussier, the military governor of Paris, headed the escort of troops. An almost Innumerable number of wreaths were borne before the cofin, which was followed by the presses any opinion at all, on the ground taken by Lord Rosebery. In these circumstances of doubt and in the absence of any clear evidence or any single point ‘he American public will probably preserve for the present its attitude of unconcern, The English pub- le, It is safe to say, neither knows nor ca anything about Venezuela, but cares a great deal about friendly relations with the United States. I know of ‘no reason why both there and hera the subject may not be left to the foreign office and the State department. MAY CONCILIATE CANADA. Sir Julian Pauncefote’s presence in Ottawa may possibly tend to bring the Canadians to a more reasonable frame of mind on their two present subjects of dispute with the United States, Bering gea and the copyright question, The Canadian poachers, who are now piling up old claims against us, cannot be expected to be moderate, but Sir Julian, belug on the spot, Will get a better notion of their unreasonableness than he could at Washington. It is not known that he is tnstructed to open the copyright question, which fs in the hauds of the colonial office. Mr. Chamberlain, the colonlal secretary, how- ever, has had experience before now of the Canadians and their ways. He has sent back their piratical law to be revised, and he is hardly the man to embroil England and Amer- fea, or risk the repeal of our international copyright law to please half a dozen Cana- dlan printers, who want to fnvade the Amer- fcan book market and rob the English author Ity. It bie were, the English author is capable of making himself heard, and is present in America fu the person of Mr, Hall Caine, who s golng to Canada to confer with the Canadian authorities, even at the risk of having to confront Sir Charles Tupper. ARMENIANS MADE A MISTAKE. The Armenians in Constantinople have done their oppressed brothers In Armenla itself the worst possibla service. It is quite clear that the riots fn the Turkish capital were organ- jzed by Armenlan revolutionists. They had res family of the deceased, the ministers, sena- tors, deputies and numerous delegations from different scientific and other bodies from all parts of France, and from many foreign countries.

MISSIONARIES MAKE MANY COMPLAINTS Specific Charges of Neglect and Indif- ference to the erests of Both Americans and Armenians Are Lodged Against the Minister, (Copyrighted, 1565, by Press Publishing Company.) LONDON —(New York World Cable —Special Telegram.)—Minister Terrell’'s dis- patch to Secretary Olney d ting the Constantinople Armenians as fanatics, has been telegraphed back here, and has created profound regret in missionary and o cles in sympathy with the d lan subjects of the Turk. Mr, Hagoplan, president of the Armenian Patriotic asso- ciation, and through whom the first intelli- gence of the massacre was glven to the world, said today: “I have noticed from the beginning that Minister Terrell has invariably taken sides with the porte against his persecuted fellow Christians of Armenia, alone of the leading foreign representatives to Turkey. Where he has not been able to directly pervert the facts in favor of the Turks, he has remained inactive. His entire telegram to Washington breathes a spirit of hostility to us. His atti- tude does us increditable harm. It gives the porte the impression that he speaks for the er cir- essed Christ- American people, and that their sympathy is really not with the Armenians. This dis- patch has damaged the cause of Armenia before the civilized world in a way it will be difficult to repair. It will encourage the sultan to resist the demand of the English ambassador, DENIES THE CHARGE OF FANATICISM. “Mr. Terrell's statement of the origin of the riots cannot be true. How absurd to say that an armed Armenian mob in Stamboul precipitated the disturbanc: Thero {5 a population of 64,000 Turks against 14,000 Armenians, and there is in addition about 60,000 floating Armenian population who come and go between the provinces of Constanti- nople.

Kimball, an American mis- tlonary from Van, who hds an American diploma and desired to practice medicine among the Armenians, wrote twice to the minister, asking him to secure permission from the authorities {6 8o so. He paid no attention to either lettef. Then Dr. Rey- nolds, head of the American mission at Van, wrote to Mr. Terrell i Miss Kimball's be- half, but our minister paid no more atten- tion to this letter than the others. Finally Dr. Reynolds wrote to a friend in Constanti- nople, asking him to cfll on the minister, His friend saw Mr. Torcell, but the only satisfaction he got was the remark: “Tell Miss Kimball the old from Texas won't let her go home without a diploma.” Up to two months agd Miss Kimball was vainly trying and waitiog to enter on her mission of Christian charity and love, while the Turkish governor almost daily sends a soldier to gee that she does not give out medicine or medical adVice to the helpless Armenians.

This.1s contrary to the law of nations, but protests have been vainly made to our minister at tonstantinople. He Will do nothing. As for the Armentans them- selves, who have been assured by the mis- slonaries of American syMipathy, they abhor the name of our representative at Constanti- nople. : Mr. Howard in his statyment to me says: “According to my advicss, meanwhile, ‘the | old man from Texas' has ready admittance to the sultan's presence and to his table. It is a scandal of which not only Americans but Englishmen in Turkey are ashamed, and doubtless explains why helrefers to the mur- dered Armenians in Copsantinople as ‘fa- natics.' BALLARD SMITH. POWERS INV THE RIOTS, Ministers Will Moke Complete Re- ports to heir Governments, CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 6.—(Via Sofia, Bulgaria.)—The streets of this city are still patrolled by troops and police, and the latter continue making arrests, _There have been no fresh disturbances, Newever, although there is much excitement.§h many quarters in view of the persistent pumors circulated to the effect that the Armenians are deter- mined to make a further demonstration, with the view of calling attentic to their griev- ances. The representativi of the powers have been making careful inquiry into tha origin of the rioting, ag well as into the fighting, and they will make full reports on the subject to their respeetive governments, It was noticed during the ceremony of the Selamlik today that the siltan’s bodyguard had been increased in number and that extra- ordinary precautions were taken by the mili- from our country where, while the great TEoNPRE R ALEEE RO D hen heopoviennbunt gl sultan or the grand vizler, under condi- tions which would attract the notice of Europe. It is their constitutional right to present petitions, which is the only mode of obtaining a redress of grievances, there be- ing no free press, and no right of public meet- ing in Turkey. To say they went there to get themselves murdered in order to draw attention to their wrongs is against reason. But the Turkish authorities are well versed in the method of transforming a peaceful constitutional proceeding like this into what appears tc be a riot. “Wo Armenians read with indignation the gross charge of your minister that Armenians are actuated by fanaticism. Our people are groaning under oppression almost unequalled in history. The brothers and sisters of those who have baen outraged and murdered by the Turkish soldiers, to be charged with be- ing impelled by fanaticism, when they merely attempt to present a petition to the Turkish government, beseeching the fulfiliment of re- forms promised twenty-five years ago, to say thelr action is fanatical is cruel wrong on the part of the minister of a friendly people.” “Is it true this attempted demonsiration was arranged by the revolutionary body?" NOT AN ORGANIZED EFFORT. “I have no information to that effect. As far as 1 know It was arranged by the pro- vincial Armenians, who have come to Stam- boul, fresh from the latest horrors of Turkish misrule in Armenia, full of the despair now beginning to prevall among my unhappy countrymen, owing to the fear that the pow- ers will be outwitted by the dilatory tactics of the porte. 1 do not sympathize with any revolutionary movement. Your minister has done us great wrong at the crucial moment of our struggle for relief from the unspeak- able abominations of Turkish misrule.” Americans and Englishmen recently re- turned from Constantinople and letters from Americans and other missionaries in Turkey express like unfavorable opinion of the min- ister of the United States. The Constanti- nople correspondent of one of the great Lon- procession passed, although the sky was heavily overcast and a downpour of rain was threatened. The procession arrived at Notre Dame cathedral at noon and shortly after- ward tue fureral service was commenced. The services were very imposing and were by President Faure, the members diplomatic corps, Prince Nicholas of of the Grecce, the Grand Duke Constantine of Rus- sia, all in full dress uniforms. After absolu- tion had been pronounced by Cardinal Rich- ard, the archbishop of Paris, the casket was carried to a catafalque In the center of the square In front of the cathedral. There M. Poincarre, the minister of education, made a speech culogizing the Ife work of the deceused, and afterwards the troops and dif- ferent deputations defiled before the cata- fulque.

The operator glve an account of the affalr, don dailles sald to me a few days ago that the subservience of our minister to the sul- tan is a matter of comment in all diplomatic circles at Constantinople. Mr. Terrell is an elderly gentleman from Texas, who came to Turkey with probably little experience great cities, and none whatever of European courts. The sultan, already on half concealed terms of hostility with all the representatives of the great European powers, at once made much of the mirister from the great western republic, from which he thought he had noth- ing to fear, and this attention from the sov- ereign quite turned the new minister's head. SOME SPECIFIC CHARGES. Your correspondent from Armenia, Mr. W. W. Howard, gives simllar testimony and has furnished me with specific complaints from Armenian missionaries in Turkey, and par- ticularly in Armenia, of Minister Terrell's indifference to their interests, if not his direct hostility to the sufferings of Armenian Chris- tians. Americans in Armenia deplore his suc- cession to Mr. Strauss, who, although of an- other religion and birth, always vigorously exerted himself in behalf of the Christian missionaries of all creeds, The American Missionary college at Mar- sovan secured from the sultan an irade, pro- tecting it and its Inmates from spoliation. It was Minister Terrell's duty simply to/ transmit the frade without comment, but he sent with it a special letter pointing out the generosity of the sultan and asking the missionaries to suspend their judgment on the Armenian atrocities until the report of the Turkish commission of inquiry had been received. As this Inquiry was sure to be, and has since proved to have been, a mere farce, and as the missionaries were only too familiar with the pature of the horrible atrocities In Armenla, they greatly resented the American minister's counsel, One, a Mr. Deknovian, an Armenian from Their | was so badly injured that he was unable to | Boston and an American citizen, applied valoly to the minister for stance to see tary and_police authorities, to protect him from possible attacks. the Armenian servants employed at thes kiosk have een dismissed as a ma of_precaution, Tl I8 Wen -xknow: e ' Restdents of the Isle of Crete Appeal to the European Powers.

As @ result, the gov- ernor of Crete has offered to resign his posi- tion and the matter 15 now understood to be under consideration.

LONDON, Oct. 6,—The feature of the financial world during the past week is the prolonging of the craze here for Kaffirs (South African mining shares) and the post- ponement of the expected crash in these ses curities which has been predicted fcr some tme past. The main point of Interest in the world of politics was the rioting at Coa- stantinople and the subsequent decline In the sympathy hitherto felt for the apparently badly oppressed and much massacred Ar- menians, There was quite a slump, followed by a rally in Kaffirs on Friday, and today there was another and heavier fall In the price of South American mining stocks. The decline appears to be due to the alarm of French in- vestors, whose hands have been forced by the couliissimers (small stock brokers), who insisted that at the pending settlement clients who have bought shares must take them or close their accounts. The weak bulls thereupon closed their accounts. This caused a bad impression, and it spread to London and caused heavy sales and a decline In prices. However, as tha leaders of the market did not show any disposition to sell, the market stiffened and values improved. 1t is recognized that many of the Kaffirs' shares are standing too high for their in- trinsie merits, but it is not believed that there will be a big permanent collapse so long as the big operators support that mar- ket. In the world of amusement, the action on Wednesday last of the licensing committee of the county council in granting an uncon- ditional license to the Empire theater was the most interesting feature of the week. There was a large crowd of Interested spec- tators at ‘the mecting, but Mrs. Ormiston who made so much trouble for the Empire last year in oppusing the granting practically no oppoSISH SV, mch. ourtatled, license asked for. COLLAPSE OF PURITANISM. George Bdwards, manager of the Empire, testified that the restrictions which the com- mittee of the county council placed upon his establishment last year, affecting chlefly the “drinking auditorium’’ and the free circula- tion In all parts of the house of the demi- mondaines, had involved a loss of $100,000 in the profits during the past year, and that the dividend declared this year was only 40 per cent, as against 70 per cent in previous years. The “victory” of the Empire theater, it is now claimed, shows how cheaply London has repudiated the so-called “puritan pol- icy,” which prevailed last year. The Empire has not only regained the right to reopen the famous promenade and to sell drinks in the auditorium, but the applications for full li- EXPECT A COLLAPSE|, General Opinion that the Boom in Kaffirs INVESTORS BECOME ALARMED THE BEE ‘eather Forecast for Nebraska— Falr; Warmer in West; West Winds, BULLETIN.

At the temperance congress on Friday at Chester a letter from Rt. Hon. W. B. Glad- stone was read, and it caused quite a flutter In the temperance world. Mr. Gladstone wrote that he does not believe in local op- tion, of which, he adds, he has only a poor opinion. He spoke favorably of the Gothen- burg system, hinted that the plan of free trade with high licenses deserves a trial, and was emphatic In asserting that the holder of a license Is the only person in regard to whom a word regsrding compensation ought ever to be mentioned.

She was “‘a person of some name” long be- fore her crusade against the Empire theater, being one of the representatives of woman- hood who went to the World's Fair at Chi- cago to take part in the specal enterprises held there by women, and she was one of the delegates to the Woman's parliament held at Washington in 1593. This is under- stood to be Mrs. Chant's fourth visit to America, and not her first, as the Pall Mall Gaze'te seems to suppose. REGISTERED HIS RACING COLORS.
