THE WAY IT LOOKS NOW. SALISBURY 1S Striving to Resume Diplo- matic Relations With Venezuela. Crespo’s Government Is Urged to Meet England’s Advances Half Way. Great Britain Stands Ready to Arbi- trate the Differences With the Republic. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 22.—A Herald special from Washington says: As a meansof bringing aboutan amicable settle- ment of the Venezuelan boundary dispute I am able to state, on high anthority, that Lord Salisbury had made manifest his desire for a resumption of diplomatic relations with Venezuela, and that the ad- ministration is doing all in its power to accomplish such a result. From informa- tion obtained vesterday it is evident that the London Times spoke advisedly this morning when it said: *‘Lord Salisbury’s original objection to arbitrate concerning districts settled years ago by British subjects and under British law still holds good, but the American Government must be well aware of the perfect willingness on this side to discard the Schomburg line and arbitrate on all the disputed territory, excluding only the districts the British and Venezuelans have permanently settled. This basis of negotiations is open for venezuela to seck at any time.”’ It is known semi-officially to the ad- ministration that while Great Britain cannot make formal advances for the re- sumption of diplomatic relations with Venezuela, for the reason that the latter was the first to break them off, she is willing and anxiou$ to have Venezuela take the initiative. So well ‘satisfied are the authorities of the desires of Great Britain in this respect that Venezuela, it is stated on reliable authority, is being urged by the ad- ministration here to make an effort to establish diplomatic relations with Great Britain, and the President of the Venezuelan Republic now has the matter under consideration. The sug- gestion was made, it is stated, by Secre- tary Olpey to the Venezuelan Minister PRINCE HENRY OF BATTENB-R i, J here, Senor Andrade, and ‘by-him com- municated to his Government by cable. There is a strong belief that diplomatic relations between Great Britain.and Ven- ezuela will be established and that the ex- chanee of Ministers will be agreed upon on the basis which also includes an agree- ment to submit the boundary questior to arbitration. The first intimation :that such a course would be satisfactory to the British Gov- ernment, it is asserted, was given by Sir Juiian Pauncefote, the British Embassa- ! dor, and Secretary Olney, after consulta- tion with the President, promptly acted on it. There are strong reasons for believing that Great Britain is now willing to make concessions to Venezuela. It is admitted that since Venezuela broke off diplo- matic relations it is incumbent on her to make the first move for their resump- tion, and if she will do this the prevailing sentiment in the London For- eign Office is said to be in favor of pledging an arbitration that will meet the peculiar necessities of Venezuelan politics. The schieme now most in favor is adirect AIDED BY CLEVELAND.| CONCESSIONS TO BE GRANTED. | 1 | i | | CARRIED NOW FOR PEACE. | | Consul-General at Panama, has consulted | news contained. in The Uinited Press dis- | on the subject has been received from Con- | sul-General Victor Vilquain, stationed at ! pressly-stated that the lecture was to be arbitration of the territory to the westward } of the Schomburg line | | | T4 TO SALVADOR.

EEIELA S ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED. Disastrous Wreck on the Panhandle Rail- road in Ohio—Miraculous Escape of the Passengers. NORTH CHARLESTON, Omnro, Jan. 22.—The worst railroad wreck that ever oc- curred in this part of the State took place this morning on the Panhandle, near this town. The train was running at the rate of sixty miles an hour when the boiler of the locomotive exploded, instantiy killing | Engineer Trimble and Fireman Waters. There were nine coaches in the train, and the wreck was a terrible one. The cars were piled upon one another in an indiscriminate manner, and so great was the force of the train that one mailcar was | thrown entirely away from the track and into an adjoining field. As soon as possible the work of rescuing the passengers began. It was supposed from the appearance of the wreck that great loss of life must have occurred. It was found, however, that no persons were killed except the engineer and fireman. Many of the passengers—in fact, nearly all were more or less bruised, some quite badly, but no one was fatally hurt. NGERSOL NOT WANTED, Kansas Law Students Will Not Be Addressed by the Agnostic. Faculty Members Interpose After the Invitation Had Been Ex. tended. LAWRENCE, Kaxs., Jan. 22.—Robert G. Ingersoll will not lecture to the law stu- dents of the State University at the com- mencement exercises. The faculty coun- cil has nqtified representatives of the law school that they do not approve of the project, and that should an attempt be made by the law school they will take heroic measures to resist it. It was pro- posed to invite the noted lawyer to address the school on the subject of law. Colonel Ingersoll consented to do so upon condi- tion of the approval of the university fac- ulty. One of the leading law seniors, in speak- ing of the affair, said: “Most of us con- sider the action of the faculty as a direct slap in the face. Iam a true blue, rabid Presbyterian, but I can’t see why they should object to him. It shows that they are afraid of their own religion.” As soon as the law students were in- formed of the faculty’s action they imme- diately communicated with Chauncey M. Depew. It is expected that he will come. The law studenis aver that as it was ex- upon the subject of law, the faculty council bas subjected them to an'insult, AMERICANS MUST STAND TRIAL Kruger Telegraphs That All Will Be Treated Alike. NO FAVORITISM SHOWN. Justice Will Be Done to the Men Who Took Part in the Uprising. HE REGRETS THEIR POSITION. Says That Most of the Americans Took The Side of Law and Order. NEW YORK, N. Y. Jan. 22.—The Journal prints the following cablegram from President Kruger of the Transvaal republic, in reply to a request for informa- tion as to the Americans now imprisoned in Pretoria for alleged particivation in the recent uprising of the Uitlanders: PRETORIA, Jan. 21.— Everything is quiet at present. Americans are in no danger whatever. They enjoy the full protection of the law, like any other for- | eigners, therefore there is no need of pro- tection from outside against any illegal or revolutionary movements. Even if such protection against revolutionists were | necessary, which is not so, the Americans are capable of taking care of themselves. The Government regretsideeply that while almost all the Americans took the side of order and law, a very few of them have joined the revolutionary so-called reform committee. These, together with a ma- jority, mostly British, will be tried ac- cording to law, and justice will be done all concerned without respect of nation- ality. INFORMATION BUREAU, KRUGER. A NOT ADMITTED TO BAIL. Position of Americans in the Transvaal Is Lamentable. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 22.—A speclal cable dispatci to the Sun from Newcastle, Natal, says: Hammond is in jail, and the Govern- ment refuses to admit him to bail. The position of Americans in the Transvaal is lamentable. Something should be done forus. We can do nothing for ourselves. CurTis. The above dispatch, which was csbled to the Sun to-night was sent by Joseph Story Curtis, son of the late George Ticknor Curtisof this city. He enjoys considerable prominence in mming‘circles and has a large salary as a mining engineer and prospector. e He has many friends in this city. They were amazed at the report printed on Jan- uary 13 of his arrest at Johannesburg on the charge of being one' of the leaders in the recent uprising in the Transvaal, as he had always been strongly opposed to British domination in that country, and has often mentioned the matter in Jetters written to friends in this ecity. His sympatkies havealways been with the Transvaal Government, although he went to Africa originally as the agent of an English company. S g e Will Be Tried in April.

Famous for a Number of Remarkable Congressional Campaigns. LOUISVILEE, Ky., Jan. 22.—Ex-Con- gressman Oscar Turner died at his home here this afternoon. He became a distin- guished figure in Congress over a decade ago, becoming nationally known as the “ontlaw.” Judge Turner earned this soubriguet by & series of remarkable contests for the seat in Congress from the First Kentucky Dis- trict, running as an independent in defi- ance of the Democratic party fiat. He was so popular that he was returned for two other terms, and the party machine aban- doned the effort to defeat the “outlaw,’” as his enemies dubbed him. He was 80 years of age. e MODJESKA IS VERY ILL. She Cannot Appear Upon the Stage Again for Weeks, if at All, Her Phy- sicians Say. CINCINNATI, Onro, Jan. 22.—Madame Modjeska, the actress, is not only unable to fulfill her engagement in this city this week, but it is feared it will be weeks be- fore she can act again, if at all. Doctors Giles Mitchell and J. ‘Whittaker, who are attending her, had a consultation this afternoon, after which they issued the following bulletin: “Mme. Mod jeska was attacked by phleg- masia, a serious affliction. The swelling on the left side of the neck is very painful and renders any movement of the arm almost impossible and absolutely inca- pacitaies her from fulfilling her engage- ments here.” Dr. Whittaker explains that phlegmasia isaclot of blood resulting directly from the inner tissues of a vein being injured or torn in some manner, possibly from a strain, and preventing free circulation. In the case of Modjeska it is serious, for the reason that the clot is in the jugular vein, and if not removed will, it is feared, bring about the most unfortunate results. Dr. Mitchell, while he considers her case asserious, is hopeful of her recovery. At midnight Mme. Modjeska’s physi- cians pronounced her condition as more favorable, and they now have hopes of her recovery unless a change for the worse sets in. —_— MISS BARTON SAILS. She Is Going to Turkey to Seek Permlssion to Administer to Suffering Armenians. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 22.—Miss Clara Barton, president of the American Red Cross Society, sailed this morning on the steamship New York for Southamp- ton, en route to Constantinople, where she | will seek permission to enter Armenia to administer assistance to the needy and afflicted ot that country. Accompanying Miss Barton are Miss Lucy Graves, steno- grapher; Ernest Mason, linguist; George H. Pullman, private secretary to Miss Barton, and Dr. J. B. Hubbell, general field agent of the society in Armenia. Ou arrival in Constantinople Miss Bar- ton will call on United States Minister Terrell and endeavor to secure his good offices in the effort to induce the Sultan to give the Red Cross Society the right to enter Armenia. ‘When the steamer New York drew out | of her dock, the large crowd present loudly cheered Miss Barton, who stood on the deck and smilingly acknowledged the compliment. From the masthead of the steamer floated the emblem of the Red Cross Society. CONSTANTINOPLE, TuRkEY, Jan. 22.—United States Minister Terrell in- forms the representative of The United Press that he does not desire to make any statement in regard to the probability of the Sultan’s consenting to Miss Clara Bar- ton’s proposed distribution of reiief to the Armenians in Asia Minor, but Tha United Press has learned from other sources that Mr. Terrell is making earnest efforts both at the Palace and the Porte to secure the admission of the Red Cross Society into Anatolia, with full permission to supoly the needs of the starving and naked Armenians. The opinion prevails at the British em- bassy, however, that the relief which is | being afforded by the missionaries is suffi- | cient for the needs of the Armenians with- out the assistance of any outsiders. The | Porte has not yet reached a decision in the matter in response to the representations made by Minister Terrell. LR R Makalle Has Fallen. PARIS, Fraxce, Jan. 22.—The Figaro clazms to have received private advices that the Abyssinians captured the Italian fortress at Makalle, January 19. LONDON, ExG., Jan. 22.—The corre- spondent of the Central News in Rome telegraphs that advices from Massowah say that Major Galliano refused to sur- render the garrison at Makalle upon the terms offered by King Menelek or upon any other conditions. Five battalions of | troops will arrive at Adigrat January 24, and it 1s expected that they will speedily relieve the beleaguered garrison at Makalle. I'‘Attacks WOLCOTT SKYS CLEVELAND ERRED. the Venezuelan Message in a Long Speech. PROVOCATIVE OF WAR. Declares That the President and Congress Pursue a Jingo Policy. MONROE = DOCTRINE DEFINED, Does Not Believe It Was Intended to Check Acquisition of Terri. tory. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 22.—The principal feature of to-day’s session in the Senate was the speech of Senator Wolcott of Colorado in condemnation of the pro- posed extension of the Monroe doctrine and in criticism of the action of the ex- ecutive and legislative departments of the Government on the Venezuelan question. With an ardor and eloquence that arrested the attention of Senaiors on both sides of the chamber and the crowds in the galler- ies, Wolcott spoke of theaid given by Great Britain to the people of Venezuela in breaking the Spanish yoke, and said that those who were to-day attacking Great Britain as if she were the oppressor of Venezuelan liberties would do well to read story of those early and bloody times. If it were not for the heroic and reckless valor of the British legion at one of the decisive battles in that war of in- dependence, it was very possible, he said, | that Venezuela would not now.be free. He spoke contemptuously of the people | of that republic, less than 1 per cent of whom, he said, were white, the rest being Indians, negroes, mulattos and Zambos, and he expressed the hope that the bound- ary line would be found where it would leave the rich gold fields of that region where the English-speaking miners would not be subject to the cupidity of Venezu- elan harpies, but would be under the shel- ter and protection of the English common law. He spoke of the diplomatic corre- spondence on the Venezuelan question as irritating; of the President’s message as ill advised; and of the appointment of the commission, without invitation of the countries interested, as premature and hasty. The peroration, which was heartily applauded, was in these words: ‘“May these two great nations of the same speech, traditions and lineage be found standing together shoulder to shoulder, in the interest of humanity, both in compelling peace and awaiting the day when ‘nation shall no longer lift sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more.’ "’ The remainder of to-day’s session was occupied by a financial debate on the bond bill, with the free coinage substitute, and at 5:30 the Senate adjourned until to- MOTToW. After the routine morning business, the vresentation of petitions and the intro- duction and reference of bills, Call’s reso- lution directing the Secretary of State to send to the Senate the dispatches of United States Consuls relating to the war now carrizd on in Cuba was reported back adversely from the Committee on Foreign Relations by Sherman (R.) of Ohio, its chairman, and was, at the request of Call (D.) of Florida, placed on the calendar. Cullom (R.) of Illinois, from the Com- mittee on Foreign Relations, reported a preamble and concurrent resolution in re- gard to the Armenian outrages in Turkey. The resolution declares it to be an im- perative duty in the interest of humanity to express the earnest hope that the European concert, brought about by the treaty of Berlin, be speedily given its just effect in such decisive measures as shall ay the hand of fanaticism and lawe less violence, and shall assure to the unoffending Christians of the Turkish empire all the rights belonging to them, both as men and Christians and as benefi- ciaries of the treaty of Berlin; that the President be requested to communicate the resolution to the Governments of Great Britain, Germany, Austria, France, Italy and Russia; and that Congress will sup- port the President in the most vigorous action he shall take in the protection and security of American citizens in Turkey. The resolution was laid aside for future action. Pugh’s resolution for the payment of Government obligations in standard sil- ver dollars was brought before the Senate, but was laid aside. ‘Wolcott thereupon took the floor and addressed the Senate in condemnation of SENATOR E. 0.
