The Sllicr Is Already Kevealed in the Vcnesuelan Controversy Peaceful Talk All ArounJ. London. Jan. 8. The Americ an com missioner of the Dally Chronicle cables to that paper from Washington today, as follows: "The tide of opinion here regarding England sems to me to be distinctly turning, ow'ng. I believe, both to the Chronicle's utterances and to Eng land's anxious foreign crisis. Yester day I quoted sympathetic words from the New Yor Sun. Today the Tri bune says there is something magnifi cent in the way the British themselves face their international situation. The Tribune speaks of the everlasting birthright of the liritisn people In the memories of Agincourt, Plassy, and Trafalgar, and declares that the pres ent opportunity is equally momentous and advantageous to bofn countries. It adds that woi thy diplomacy should now make easy theway for an equltuhle and amicable settlement with tireat Brit ain. Tpon the governments of Wash ington and Westminster It rests to de termine whether this noblest opportun ity of the uge shall be neglected or shall be Improved to the perpetual profit and giory of both the great divisions of the English speaking race.' "Many similar utterances prove the truth of my assertions that all the best American opinion is earnestly desirous of a friendly and dignified settlement. Today I had a conversation on this sub ject with Senator dray, of Delaware, an Intimate and devoted friend of Mr. Cleveland, and a prominent member of tho foreign relations committee. Sen ator Gray say: 'I don't think the president made or .Intended to muke a threat towards the Rrltlsh government in his message, but he did mean to ex press in the strongest way possible hl own feeling and what I believe to be the feeling of ull the people of the coun try regarding supposed British refusal of arbitration in the Venexuulan matter, except with reference to an arbitrary line made by the Itrltish government Itself. 1 know there Is sincere regret and dismay among all right minded people here that a conciliatory disposi tion was not accented by Lord Salis bury In regard to the general principle of arbitration. If the Hellish govern ment should show a kindly disposition towards this principle I believe It would be greatly welcomed by the people of this country. So far ns there being any loss of prestige to the Itrltish govern ment In tfils course, It would muke me more hopeful that the great principle, of arbitration will find expression In a convention between the two countries covering all questions that might arise.' "The New York Times also describes my statement of the American case as superior and entirely truthful. "The present moment is a golden one to secure American good will. Can Kng land afford to lose It? If Lord Salis bury takes no step and sees no way then let him reflect that his attitude is Iden tical with that fatnl one which lost Oreat Hritaln hef American colonies more than a century ago. The Ameri can people are eagerly listening for some word from him. The cost of it would be slight and the gain colossal." sirf.cki:ls routed. Ills Rebellious Sons I'ny 1 p and Win the llattlc. San Francisco. Cal., Jan. 8. Sugar Mllllcnaire Claus Snreckels, who has been waging war for nearly a year with his two younger ana rebellious sons, August and Rudolph, expected to score heavily against them on the day after New Years. Put these calculatfons have been upset, and for tfriree days the old man has been o-j a still hunt to lo cate capitalists who helped his two sons to defy him. Two years ago, when all was at peace In the Snreckels family, Ous and Ru dolph bought from their father three fourths of the capital stock of the'lla wailun Commercial company. They paid a certain amount and $700,000 was left as a balance, which was to be paid In two annual Installments. The first payment was madn January 2, 1S95. At that time the sons were in harmony with their father. Afterwards war was declared and the sons hove scored every time In the fight. The old man has used every device to cripple them financially. Ho found they were short of money, so he visited all local moneyed men who might be In duced to give them nid In paying this second instalment, and received assur ance thlat no coin would be furnished the boys. Then he lay bnck awaiting his revenge. On January 2 he sent around for the big payment. What was his astonish ment to be met with smiling accept ances. Instead of asking for delay, or for part payment, the whole sum was paid. When the collector brought back tho check old Claus nearly fell off i..s chair. Since then he has been gunning for the man who advanced the money. If he discovers: him, he n.reatena to make things lively. Meanwhile the street Is laughing over the millionaire's wrath.

AN INVESTIGATION DEHANDED. A general banking business is done hy the human system, because the blood de posits in its vaults whatever wealth we may gain from day to day. This wealth is laid up against "a rainy day " as a reserve fund we're in a condition of healthy prosperity if we have laid away sufficient capital to drnw upon in the hour of our greatest need. There is danger in getting thin, because it's a sign of letting down in health. To gain in blood is neatly always to gain in whole some flesh. The odds are in favor of the germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia, if our liver be inactive nnd our blood im pure, or if our flesh be reduced brlow a healthy standard. What is required is an increase utmi germ-fighting strength. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches the blood and makes it wholesome, stops the waste of tissue and at the same time builds up the strettKlli. A medicine which will rid the blood of its poisons, demise nud invigorate the great organs of the body, vitalize the system, thrill the whole being with new energy and make permanent work of it, is surely a remedy of great value. Hut when we make a positive statement that oS percent, of all cases of consumption can, 'if taken in the early stages of the disease, he CUKKD with the " Discovery," it sccmslike a bold assertion. All Dr. Pierce asks is that you make a thorough investigation and satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion. Ky sending to the World's Dispensary Med ical Association, Iluflalo, N.
