To Our Government's Note Regarding Venezuela. WILL BE MADE PUBLIC NEXT WEEK While yielding Nothing, It ia Probably Less Autocratic Than John Bull's Communications to Weaker Nations. WASHlNaTON,Dec.7. There was a prett general discussion of Venezuelan affairs among momban of the house yesterday The general opinion among those who wll) havo the conduct of foreign nffolrs In charge. In the house la that Lord Sails bury's reply will bo a diplomatic evasion ii f tlio main Issues; that It will bo couched In tho most friendly terms, and while ex pressing a willingness to arbitrate ns to n portion of tho disputed territory, will dony tho right of tho United States to ask Great Britain to urbltrato as to tho territory tho ownership of which Great Britain claims Is hors boyond dispute. In other words it Is bollovcd that Great Britain's reply will tcmporizo with tho subject and simply open tho way for further correspondence. Salisbury's reply will bo sent to congress next wcok, having been presented to Sec rotary Olnoy by Sir Julian IJaunccfote, tho British ambassador, today. "A glanco at tho correspondence," snld a prominent Republican member today, "will show that this has beon England's position and policy for fifty yoars. Sho will scoin to yield something, but sho will stako oft a lino beyond which she will go In tho matter of arbitration. That was Lord Granville's policy. It will bo Lord Salis bury's. Though Salisbury is imperious by Inclination, ho will bo exceedingly cau tious. Tho considerations involved in nn open breach with Kngland or anything ap proaching nn open broach would bo great. Credits would ba immediately shaken. Tlio question of tho tariff is infinitely of moro importauco to Groat Britain than tho ownership of a few gold mines of Vene zuela. "Abovo all things, depend upon It that Kngland will not by nny act of hors ag gravate nn autl-Kuglish feeling in this country or glvo came, if tho most dellcato arts of diplomacy can prevent It, for a war agitation hero. England dreads unfavor able tariff legislation. She knows that tho first rosult of a blttor anti-English feoling would bo retaliation upon her through a radical revision of tho tariff. A tariff in duced by hostility to England growing out of England's encroachments In this hemlsphoro which bad aroused tlio resent ment of tho American people would send 3,000,000 Englishmen to bed without their suppers. Such material considerations England never overlooks. Tho loss of our commorco stopped tho war of 1812." Senator Mills' attention was called to day to tho fact that objection had boon made to tho part of his bill directing tho secretary of tho treasury to pay out silver when tlio reserve Is below $100,000,000, viz., that it would put gold at a premium. "This reasoning," ho replied, "is utterly fallacious. That result can tako placo only when tho volumo of silver or paper is so increased as to increase prices in this country when gold would be exported, but no mcro manipulation of tho silver or paper now In circulation can chango prices of products. If tlio treasury refuses gold for export tho exporter must buy bills of exchange. If tho treasury notes nro all paid or all bonded tho result would bo the samo. Exporters would pay premiums on gold whou exported, but tho gold standard would remain unchanged. "When tho gold resorvo is over $100,000, 000 tho treasury Is in easy circumstances nnd may rodeom its notes in either gold or silver as it may bo desired by tho holder of Its notes. AVhon tho roscrvo Is under $100, 000,000 tho cautionary signal is up, and tho secretary should protect the govern ment by paying In standard sllvet coins and stop a run that may bo made to em barrass tho treasury nnd compol it to sell bonds to foreign and domcstio capitalists." Tho houso was in fiosslon but half an hour yesterday, whon it adjourned until Monday. Mr. Baker, of Now Hampshire, who has proclaimed war on Secretary of Agriculture Morton becauso of tholnttor's refusal to expend an appropriation for tho purchaso of seeds for distribution among congressional constituents, attempted to put through a resolution culling upon tho secretary for information upon tho sub ject, but Mr. McMillan, of Teunosseo, ob jected. Later Mr. Walker, of Massachu setts, in whoso district resldo nlno-touths of tho naturalized Armenians in this coun try, askod for tho printing In Tho Record of their resolution reciting tho outrages committed upou their rclntlves in Turkey, and pledging the support of congress to any steps that might bo taken by the ex ecutive for their protection, but to this Mr. Turnor, of Goorgla, lnterpo3od an ob jection.

Dr. Blddle Says Anthony Ready, the Victim, May Die-It is Alleged tho Stabbing Was Done at a a Polish Wedding During Attempted Theft. The stabbing affray which occurred at Lost Creek early last Sunday morning may ter minate in a murder and Is, therefore, arous ing great interest. It was the subject of nn investigation last night before Justice Green, at Win. Penn, under a warrant sworn out by Hryan Ready, father of tho victim of the affray, Anthony Ready. John Barrett, Patrick Hogan, Michael McGrath and Martin Murray were arrested under tho warrant and they appeared before tbo. Tustice with their counsel, M. M. Burke, Esq., of this tunn. The evidence at the hearing showed that Anthony Roady, who is about 35 years of ago, and a companion named Michaol Coyle, both residing at Doan's Patch, wore at a Polish wedding at Smoky Hollow on the Saturday night preceding the stabbing and on their way homo, about 2 o'clock Sunday morning, they met JIcGratli and Murrny.who were going to their home at Lust Creek Xo. 2 from Wm. Ponii, and asked them for a chew of tobacco. Murray said be had none and Coyle, with nn oath, declared ho would make them give him tobacco. Coyle and Ready then picked up stones and McGrath and Murray retreated toward the latter's homo and into the houso. Ready and Coyle con tinued following up and throwing stones. They stormed tbo building with stones with such force that two window sashes and a number of panes of glass in other parts of the building were shattered. While tlio assault was in progress other occupants of the house, Barrett and Hogan, got out of bed and with McGnitii and Murray, pursued Coyle and Ready. Coyle got awav, but Ready, who is crippled by a discaso of the hip, was unablo to makers escape. It was at tins stugo ot the affair, it is alleged, that Ready was beaten and stubbed by the defendants. 'After the alleged fight Ready started for his homo in Dean's Patch and met Hugh Horesford. Ready asked to bo taken to his home, suiting that ho had been boa ten and stabbed by somo men at Loit Creek. Roros- ford took tlio injured man home. Ready's clothing was removed and an examination showed that ho had sustained two knife wounds below tbo ribs on the left side, two large knifo wounds ou the back of the bead, and a severe contusion undor the right eye. A physician was summoued and be pro nounced the wounds vory dangerous. Ready was taken to the Miners' hospital last Sunday morning and is now under treatment at that place. There was no evidence at tlio hearing to show that either of tho defendants had beaten or stabbed Ready and the Justice felt that ho would not be warranted in hold ing them to ball, and they wore discharged. A certificate from Dr. Riddle, of tbo Miners' hospital, was placed before the Jus tice, showing that Ready is still in a pre carious condition, and tlio doctor does not, as yet, feel that ho will recover. As there was no evidence against them before tho Justico tlio defendants were 'not called upon to mako a defense. There is a theory that Ready received the stabs wounds at tho Polish wedding shortly before he met tbo defendants. While at tbo wedding Ready asked a Polander the time of night and when tho latter drew his watch Ready attempted to bike it from him. A tight ensued, in which, it is claimed by friends of tho defendants, Ready was both stabbed and beaten. As Ready was undor tho inllucnco of drink His probable that ho didn't cxpcricnco tbo effect of his wounds until after tho excitemoiit following bis scuflio with tho defendants. It is also alleged that when the defendants camo upon Roady tho latter drew a large pocket knifo and made two unsticceful ef forts to stab Barrett, and would have suc ceeded, but for the interference of Hogan. This knifo is now in tho possession of the defendants and they claim they made no uso of it, or any other knife, during tho scuffle. Tho knifo was found at the scene of tho light about half an hour after. It has a keonly sharpened blado -1J inches long and an inch wide, and has a tapering point. It is alleged that Ready used tho knife in re pairing a pair of shoos within tlireo days before the stabbing. Hurry had entered! charge of malicieus mischief and waylaying travelers on tho public highway against Ready and Coyle, but upou suggestion of his counsel and in view of tho friendly relations existing be tween himself and tho parents of Coylo and Ready he withdrew the charge last night.
