VENEZUELANS JVILL FICHT
England's Ultimatum Has Not Yet
Been Keceived.
BUT WAR TALK CONTINUES
The Kewspapera Encourage a Spirit of
War and Show a Disposition to Muko
Face at Great Critain-tstl-mated
Cost of a Wan
Washington, Nov. 10. The long de
lay in the receipt by Venezuela of Great
Lirltain's "ultimatum" leads to tne.ue
ltef hero that Lord Salisbury has had
Borne difficulty in securing Its delivery.
The British government has no minis
ter at Caracas, owing to the Ill-feeling
between the two countries growing out
of the boundary dispute. 'For several
years, therefore, diplomatic intercourse
has been conducted through the Ger
man government, which is now repre
sented at Caracas by a charge d'af
faires. London dispatches, a fortnight
ago, said that Lord Salisbury's "ulti
matum" had been sent to Berlin to bo
forwarded from there. It is now sug
gested that the German government,
owing to its friendship for Venezuela,
may have declined to become the bear
er of an aggressive note such as the
British premier Is preBumod to have
written, and that the Jatter Is still
looking for a suitable medium of com
municatton.
The Venezuelan newspapers devote
much space to a consideration or Lord
Salisbury's reported ultimatum, of the
details or which they are still ignorant.
The tone of their editorial is firm but
conservative. Dlaiiu do-Caracas con
tains .an article, relative to .the boun
dary question which Is significant. In
asmuch as the pnpor Is the seml-olllclal
organ of the administration. Referr
ing to the Venezuelan settlements along
the line of the disputed territory Diarlo
de Caracas says:
"These settlements nro not the work
of an instant and could nut be complet
ed but by the slow and persistent ac
tion which Is progressing every day.
They are governed by the executive,
directly through the minister of the in
terior, and the agents of the govern
ment there receive constantly their or
ders and Instructions. If at any time
the question becomes a practical one,
and the moment arrives when the gov
ernment nnd the country nre urged to
make effective hy force the dlsoroupa
tlon of usurped territory, public opinion
may rest content with the assurance
that the expulsion of the Invaders by
fur authorities v.-Ul be limited only to
the time necessary to send the telegraphic-
Instructions."
fcl Tiempo'a Despatch.
One of the Caracas newspapers. El
Tiempo, publishes a London despatch
under date of Oct. 19. In which the
statement Is made that Pecretary
Chamberlain has replied to Secretary
Olney's memorandum defining the In
terpretation by the United States gov
ernment of the Monroe doctrine, and
adding that Englund will occupy the
disputed territory by force if circum
stances require it. El Tlompo doubts
the correctness of the despatch, which
la presumably unfounded. Secretary
Olney's note was addressed to Lord
Salisbury, and whatever reply Is made
will he lent directly by that Bentlemnn
to Mr. Bayard for transmittal to the
United States, while Mr. Chamberlain,
as secretary of state for the colonies,
will have nothing officially to do with
Senor Lonez Mendea. who la a vnnni
local statesman of more than ordinary
prominence in the republic, publishes
a long letter In El Pregoness. another
Caracas newspaper, In which he re
views at great length the attack made
on La Guayra by a large British fleet
on Feb. 18, 1743, which resulted In the
defeat of the enemy after a stubborn
resistance by the Venezuelans. His
letter closes with these stirring words
of encouragement:
"Let It be remembered that Buenos
Ayres fought the English and won. Let
it be romombored that France. En.
gland, and Spain were allied against
Mexico, and that Mexico won after a
glorious struggle. Only the people who
cowardly abandon their rights, perish.
In the handa of the Government lies
the future existence or the death of
Venezuela."
Other newspapers print articles cal
culated to fire the Venezuelan heart.
They show that the Venezuelans, when
under Spanish rule, proved themselves
to be a brave and warlike people, and
that now, In the full enjoyment of free
dom, their capacity for resisting ag
gression has been increased. They
point proudly to the fact that 100,000
soldiers could be at once placed In the
field, and assert that If the great navies
of England could not subdue them 150
years ago, the chances of their sue
cess are even less promising to-day.
It is also suggested that a force of 1.
000 men. be sent at once to the disputed
territory. The paper which advocates
th,ls prints a trite showing that the
cost of uniforming, provisioning, and
paying these troops would not exceed
$200,000 a year.
POISONED AT WEDDING.
In Both Cases tho Mlschlof Was Caused
by Pressod Chicken.
Ottawa, 111., Nov. 10. About forty
persons were poisoned at a wedding in
Grand Ridge on Thursday night, and
only the prompt action of the village
physician saved from death those seri
ously affected. It waa the wedding of
John T. Caldwell, the mayor of Cherry,
vllle. Kan., and Miss Alcctta Malacy, of
Grand Ridge, at which the poisoning
occurred. Soon after eating the sup
per the guests became 111, and great ex
citement prevailed. It Is thought that
the polBon, through some chemical ac
tion, was formed In tho pressed chicken
which had been prepared several days
In advance of the wedding. Many of
those afflicted are still 111. including the
bride and bridegroom. Clark Moss is
In a dangerous condition.
Des Moines. Ia., Nov. 9. The state
board of health has officially indorsed
the report of State Bacteriologist Bay
relative to the poisoning of 100 persons
at a wedding supper In Sabula, la.,
which resulted In the death of seven
people. Mr. Bny reported that the
death and sickness were caused by
poison contained in pressed chicken.
THE SULTAN'S CABINET.
Speetmont of Rascality That Surround
tho Subllmo Porto.
- Constantinople, Nov. 10. The recent
change In the ministry here has not
been conducive of any better feeling
In political and diplomatic circles. In
fact, the ' new ministers, generally
speaking, are looked upon oskance, as
their reputations give no promise of
any better government than that
hitherto ruling. In fact the members
of the new cabinet are nothing more
than puppets of the Sultan, and what
ever he wills ' will , be, without - any
questioning law to' them. Halll Rlfat
Pasha, the new grand vlzlar, was for
merly minster of the Interior, and It
Is openly charged while occupying that
position he fostered the massacre of
Christians. Abdurrahman Pasha, min
uter of Juitloe, one held the grand.
vlzlerate, but was dismissed oa a day's
notice for lying. Menduh Pasha, min
ister of the interior, 1b reported to be a
downright scoundrel. '
There is the strongest feeling -here
against the Sultan, due. among many
other things, to his choice of ministers.
It was thought that possibly an at
tempt might be made on the life of his
majesty as he went from the palace to
the mosque to offer his prayers and the
guard who kept the route was greatly
strengthened.
There is no doubt that the empire ia
passing through one of the most criti
cal periods that has threatened it for
years. The heir to the throne has no
better policy than the sultan, so no ad
vantage would be gained by deposing
the latter In favor of the former.
Advices from the interior show that
great destitution is prevailing and that
the suffering from this cause surpasses
that arising from the massacre. A very
large number of persons are homeless
and without food and there is no doubt
that the suffering will fticrease during;
the winter. In several districts a fa
mine is indicated.
WILL RELEASE WALLER.
Franco Offers to Sot lilra Frco as an Act
of Griielousnc.n to tho t'nltcd States.
Washington, Nov. 10. Secretary Ol
ney has received an intimation of the
willingness of France to release John
L. Waller from prison as an act of
graclousnoss to the United States, but
as an acceptance of this offer might
prevent this government from subse
quently demanding an Indemnity for
IiIb Imprlsonmont, a condition to which
Waller, It is understood, does not agree
the prospects are that tedious diploma
tic negotiations are the last resource.
It is positively Jen led that Mrs. Waller
has been compelled to appeal to the
state depnrtmcnt to secure Waller's re
lease on the ground that he Is dyltiR- in
his cell. Mrs. Waller herself declares
emphatically that she has not received
from her husband, nor have any of his
friends, letters saying that his health
s failing, or expressing the belief that
lie cannot live much longer, as tele
graphed from Washington last night.
Crammond Kennedy and John M.
Langston, Waller's attorneys, had a
conference with Mrs. Waller and her
son, Paul Kray. They all agreed that
It would be unwise to sacrlllco tho
chances for indemnity at presont to se
cure Waller's release, as he was un
doubtedly well fed. clothed, and houscwl
n tho best of French military estab
lishments, where, even in the case of
Illness, he was provided with better
medical attendance than bo could hope
to tecuro outside. Mrs. Waller was
convinced that tho French government
would spare no expense to maintain
him In good health, and concluded that
if he were really HI he could not stand
the ocean voyage home, nnd wou'cl
therefore be stranded and ill among
strangers. So ehe very wisely conclud
ed to tiut the matter entirely to Sec
retary Olney and Ambassador Eustla
in both of whom sho imposes the full
est confidence. As she understands It.
... vjuiKuuuH now unaer considera
tion by the state department ari
whether It will be possible to accept
I' ranees offer of Waller's release as
an act of grace, and continue the mat
ter of Indemnity for subsequent ne
gotiation, or whether all the facts Jus
tify the United States in peremptorily
demanding Indemnity and release sim
ultaneously. It Is known that the state
department. Is not at all satisfied vet
that Waller has valid ground for an In
demnity, somo of the evidence on the
subject being extremely conflicting.
COMPLAIN OF BENNINGTON.
American Citizens Say Sho Endangered
Their lieulih Off Honolulu.
BoBton, Nov. 10. A letter has been
sent to the secretary of the navy by
several men, citizens of this country,
who were passengers on the R. M. S.
S. Warrlmoo from Vancouver, B. C,
to Australia. The letter Is signed by
E. A. San ford, of Philadelphia. Arthur
Lewis, of Iowa, Harry Wlllard French,
of Boston, Arthur F. l'ate, of Des
Moines, Ia., and others. It says that
when the steamship arrived off Hono
lulu tho night of Aug. 30 last It was
found that cholera was rne-lnir on
shore. Tho Bhlp accordingly anchored
outside.
At this time and until nearly noon
on the following day the United States
cruiser Bennington lay Inside close to
the wharf, flying the yellow Hag, hav
ing already lost a man from cholera the
day. before. Several hours before the
Warrlmoo could get away, the Ben
nington ran out of the harbor, made
a circle close about the Warrlmoo, nnd
came to anchor directly to windward of
her and so close bv that th
odors from her galley were offensive
to those on the deck of the passenger
ship.
As the passengers of the Warrlmoo
could see no possible excuse for this
action, which they regarded a menace
to their health, they call upon the navy
department for an explanation. They
aay this action was uncalled for, un
gentlemanly, and Insulting, and greatly
to the dlBcredlt of the United States
navy, and they beg that the matter be
inquired Into and those responsible
dealt with as the case demands.
Goologieal Survey Party Attacked.
Washington, Nov. 10. The Interior
department was advised by Hersey
Monroe, of the United State Geological
survey, now in tho field, that he and
his party were attacked and beaten
with clubs and stones by a crowd of
men on Campbell Creek, near Mon
mouth, W. Va. The people of that re
gion hod previously been duped by peo
ple representing themselves as govern
ment representatives, and In revenge
they jumped on a genuine government
party by mistake.

Washington, Nov. 10. First Assist

New York, Nov. 10.' A special de
spatch to the Recorder from Warwick,
N. Y., says:
With an awful roar Lehigh and Hud

caused the death of four men. Tho
dead are:
Herbert Beetner, fireman, Easton.
William iCooper, engineer, Philadel
phia. Martin O'Neill, conductor, Belvldere.
James, Sloan, brakeman, Philadel
phia. The force of the explosion was so
great that the boiler was thrown from
the trucks, but the latter remained on
the rails. The train, that consisted of
thirty cars, although it was' running
on a down grade, was stopped by the
brakemen, but not until It had run ful
ly a mile and a half. The victims of
the accident were hurled In all direc
tions, their clothing stripped from their
bodies and the tattered garments fell
In branches of trees along the tracks,
where they remained hanging.
The train, started from Maybrook,
without a conductor, at 11.45 o'clock last
night and ran to Hudson Junction be
fore his absence was discovered. Then
the engineer put the train on a siding,
ran back and picked up the conductor.
Conductor O'Neill remained on the en
gine, where he was Joined by his head
brakeman when tho train was again
started. The explosion occurred be
fore the train had proceeded five miles
further.
No explanation of the cause of the
accident hps been advanced, but It is
supposed to have been due to low
water in the boiler.

YALE TO BE STRENGTHENED.
Tho Coacher Fool That the Team lias
Loafed Long F.nough.
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 10. The
coachers of the Yale eleven held a con
sultation today and discussed means to
strengthen the eleven. It Is no secret
to rale that the team went to Brown
yesterday to roll UD a big score as-alnst
the Providence boys, and the fact that
tneir best efforts were ineffectual In do
ing better than score a single touch
down, while Brown was doing the
same, has left the coachers In supreme
disgust. The practice this week will bo

team has loafed long enough, and somo

The Princeton game is ten days dis

LIFE SAVED ltY A KISS.
Result of a Married .Man's Flirtation with
a Farmer's Daughter.
Topeka, Nov. 10. It is not often that
bo small a thing as a kiss saves a hu
man life, but if E. L. Baker, the bag
gageman on the recently wrecked Mis
souri Pacific train, near Neaton, had
remained In his seat a moment longer
hl3 life would have been crushed out of
him In that accident. A few hundred
yards from where the wreck occurred
lives a well-to-do-farmer. Several
months ago his daughter stood in the
kitchen doorway one day as the train
went past the farmstead. Raker stood
in the open doorway of his car. and.
seeing tho girl, carelessly waved his
hand to .her. She slightly returned the
signal, and from that incident sprang
up a "passing flirtation," as the train
men call it.
On the day of the accident to his
train Baker was sitting In his chair,
and when the engineman whUtled for
the crossing near the farmhouse. Baker
quickly arose to give his accustomed
salutation, which had grown Into
throwing a kiss to the girl. Just as his
part of the greeting was performed,
and before she had time to return it.
the crash came, and Baker's car was a
mass of ruins in an instant. His
ntading in the strong door frame saved
his life. As It wns, he was pinned un
der a mass of rubbish, but got off with
a few bruises and slight scratches. Pas
seniors succeeded In extricating him
among the first, nnd when he was re
leased and stood upon his feet the
first greeting was from the farm lassie,
who begged to know if he was hurt
He assured her that he was not, and
with a smile she blushlngly ran hack to
tne house. Then Eaker realized a new
danger. An Innocent "pnsslng fllrta
tlon" was of consequenco, but here was
a pretty, bright young person Suddenly
necoming ueetny interested In his wel
fare .and to satisfy a little wife with
two children at his Mcpherson homo
that It was all right, wns the anxious
problem In his mind. The girl and her
rather were around tho wreck during
the time they remained there, but Bak
er found himself too busily occupied
with other matters to give her more
tnnn a passing notice.
When Baker arrived at home he told
his wife all about It. nnd Conductor
Patterson assured her of the manner
in which her husband's life had been
saved, when the wife frankly said that
her husband could lllrt with every farm
lassie alons the entire run If It would
only save his life. All the facts have
been carried to the girl, and between
her and Mrs. Baker there has sprung
up a rrienusnlp stronger and more en
during thnn usually results from a
"passing lllrtatlon."
THE BITIMIXQIS COMBINE.
Soft Coal Operators Have Banded To
gcther for Mutual lionof It-To Kogulato
Coast Prices.
Philadelphia, Nov, 10. Negotiations
are said to have been nearly completed
by which practically all the soft coal
operators of Central and Western
Pennsylvania and the Cumberland re
glon Interested In the tidewater tradd
have formed a combination for the allot
ment of tonnage, much like that which
Is supposed to prevail in the anthracite
trade. This Important deal which is
understood to Inc lude? the railroads as
well as the producing corporations and
Individual operators, has been attempt
ed several times before, but could never
be carried to a successful conclusion
owing to the many cpnllictlng Interests
involved. Recently, however, tho
threats of strikes and the demoraliza
tion of prices have co-operated to bring
the bituminous people together and the
new combination, or pool, Is the result
of numerous c-jnf-renees. The parties
to the deal are said to Include the Penn
sylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, Beach
Creek, Huntingdon and Broad Top,
West Virginia Central, Maryfand and
West Virginia. The Norfolk and West
ern Chesapeake and Ohio railroads are
said not to be Included in the deal.
The operators interested In the move
ment include practically all, both large
and small, whose mines lie in the coun
try tributary to the railroads named,
and whose products comes to tide. In
aranglng the combination each mine
has been allotted a certain percentage
of tonnage and central agencies are
to be established for each railroad sys
tem. This does not mean that the of
fices of the individual operators are to
be abolished, but that a strict watch Is
to be kept to see that the percentages
allotted are closely adhered to. Tho ef
fect of the deal will be, It Is expected,
that the output can be better regu
lated acordlng to the demands of the
market than has been possible hitherto,
and that prices can be better main
tained than under the present fierce
competition for trade.

Since Austria under the approval of
Germany entered the European concert
the senil-otliclal press says the situa
tion has cleared up very materially.
The Sultan knows Austria's power and
disposition to take Immediate action
and dreads that more than any other
thing that has yet menaced him and
In consequence, these papers assert,
Is prepared to concede anything that
may be demanded of the Porte. Al
though Germany has Joined the Euro
pe in league, she certainly has not com
mitted herself to any project contem
plating a European protectorate over
Turkey, tho occupation of Armenia by
Russia, or any other scheme which
would Involve any Interference at the
present time with the powers of the
Sultan within his own domains and tho
North German Gazette declares that
the Christian inhabitants of Turkey In
the meantime will bo In no wise en
dangered. Tho correspondent o'f the TnceMatt In
Constantinople telegraphs to his paper
that he is in a position to afilrm that
no warlike complications are likely to
arise from the Armenian trouble and
behind this soothing semi-official as
sertion remains a combination of un.
explained facts suggesting that It Is the
intention or Uerrnany to play the part
of the honest t In the matter.
The principal one of these facts in th
action of Count Ooliujiowsky, the Aus
trian secretary or stute ror foreign af
fairs, in first making overtures to Lord
Salisbury calling attention to tho fact
that it would greatly strengthen, thn
position of Enrland If the triple alli
ance should bo taken Into tho alliance
of powers on the Turkish question un

stitute operations If required to protect
the Macedonian potuilutlon. Austria's
