On President Cleveland's Message Re garding; Venezuela. MR. BAYARD YILDLY APPLAUDED At the Annual Banquet of the Actors' Be. nevolent Fund-Meantlmo English News papers Make Savoga Comments on the President's Attitude. London, Dec. 10. Tho officials of tho British foreign ofilco declined to express any opinion on tho Venezuelan uni-stlon, nml tho saino uttltudo of reserve is main tained nt tho United States oinhassy here. United States Ambassador Uayard arrived nt tho embassy at an early hour, looking worried. Ho declined to sec any one, say ing that tho matter was much too grave to discuss. All tho Kngllsh newspapers continue their bitter assaults on tho incssngemost of them Insisting that it is an election dodge. Tho St. James Gazette heads its article "War or Wire Pulling?" and says: "Pres ident Cleveland's language in tho mouth ef a European diplomat would mean tho Instant mobilization of armies. It is rather too lata or too soon to say ' hands oft ' to tho empire which Includes not only Brit ish Guiana and Jamaica, but Canada. Tho pretensions of President Clevolaud and Mr. Olncy nro so exaggerated and tho Inn guago bo offensive that ono could not bo surprised If thoro was a Bimilar oxploslon of vlolenco hero. But Lord Salisbury has kept his temper In this unpleasant corre spondence, nud tho nation will do likowiso until tho timo comes whon wo shall do well to bo angry, and that timo may coma Wo aro all anxious to glvo tho Amorlcan government tho opportunity of forcing It." Tho Globo romarks: "No self respecting nation would for a moment entertain such pretensions, and no one doubts that Presi dent Cloveland's heroics nro duo to tho ne cessities of politics. Ills Snckvillo action shows tho length to which ho is prepared to go In tho sacred causo of spread oaglo ism. It would not bo wlso for American statesmanship to confldo too much in tho amiable sentiment that blood Is thicker than water, or to imagino that England can bo intimidated. President Clovelnnd also must reckon with Franco if ho insists upon carrying out his modern construc tion of tho Monroo doctrino in its entirety." Tho Pall Mall Gazette ridicules tho wholo mattor, saying: "It flashed across us at first that President Cleveland was mad and, second, that ho was hypnotized by Mr. Olncy, who in turn wus hypnotized by Mr. Lodge. But wo conclude that it Is only an election address." Tho annual banquet of tho Actors' Bo novolont fund at tho Hotel Mctropolo last night was tho occasion of a notable public demonstration of good feeling toward tho United States ambassador, Hon. Thomas F. Bayard. When Sir Francis Jouno pro posed tho totvt to tho Actors' Benevolent fund he said in tho courso of his speech that ho hoped tho only rivalry between England and America would bo a histri onic rivalry, and that thero would nover bo serious differences betweon tho two na tions, which woro, after nil, brothers. This sentlmout was greeted with loud nud pro longed cheers by all tho company, which was ronowed when Sir Francis ndded that Mr. Bayard was a worthy rcprcscntntivo of a great country. Sir Edwin Arnold said ho laughed at tho idea of any' differences botwecn England and America, and Mr. Comyns-Carr (jousted the friends across tho sea. - Mr. Bayard, upon rising to respond, was greeted with a perfect tumult of applause, and his toast was drunk with three cheers. Mr. Bayard was perceptibly and deeply moved. Ho said In part: "Tonight wo nro on common ground, and thero is no sea between us. Thero nro homo thing. it is impossible to divide." By way of illustration ho repented tho Blblo story of tho judgment of Solomon over tho dispute of two women, both of whom claimed to bo tho mothor of tho samo Child. "Gentlemen, It could not bo. Wo cannot bo divided. Thoy nro children of tho brain and of tho heart and of a common ancestry. I do not think that thoy will over bo per mitted to die. I will answer for my kin dred and your kindred boyoml tho sea." These inferential references to current affairs wero greotcd with repeated cheers, nud Mr. Bayard resumed his sent amid a scene of unusual enthusiasm. AS viisvj;i IX PAIS IS.

La Putrle, referring to President Cleveland's mossage, says: "Tho United States will obtain complete satis faction by their vigorous attitude Great Britain Is only strong with tho weak. She is prudent with those who aro dotermlned to defend tho dignity of their country. Tho affair will bo a groat lesson to all nations." La Llbcrto says: "A controversy Is pro ceeding between two peoples of tho samo ethnological origin ami who are accus tomed to use big words, but whoso passion doos not go even so far as a lotting of blood uffnlr. It is only a false alarm, and will certainly be arranged." Tlio .Journal dos Debuts says: "Wo can not Imagine nn election mnnouvorlu such a gruvo question. It is probable, and must bo hoped for, Mint tho good souso of tho statesmen of Washington and London will prevent tho dispute from being en vouomcd to tho extent of nn open rupture, in spite of tho excited tono of tho news papers of both countries." Tho Temps says: "A fratrloldul strugglo between Great Britain and tho groat re- public of tho new world would seem a crime agalnbt humanity nud civilzatton. As much as it Is lundmtssablo that Eng land, can accept the arrogant, pretensions of thq message, so Is It to be hoped' that sho will discover a pacific and .equitable BolutW of tho difficulty. An Anglo American war Is Impossible." The Honubllque FruncnUo says: "IMS in every way a big affair which lias fallen into Lord Salisbury's hands, 'i'uoy woum not bo sorry In London to draw tho United States into n quarrel, In view of our fron tier troubles with Brazil." THE BIO STRIKE STILL ON. Traction OIIIcIIiih Collier at l'lilladi'lplila's Public llnllilliiK. PlllUnKU'lUA, I)ci HI. Tho second dny of tho street car strike ended with every wheel yet nt a stnudstill. Excitement was at a hlith pitch all dny, but thoro woro no sorlous outbreaks. A fow cars woro run over branch linos, guarded nt all points by nnned policemen. In many Instances thoy carried their revolvers drawn. Tho mobs were lio smallor, but thoy respected the gleaming steel. Somo fow attempts to stone cars wero mnde, but they hnd no gravo results, except in ono lustanco, where an Innocent spectator was slightly Injured by a blank cartridge. A stone had boon thrown, nud n mounted policeman fired four shots into tho crowd. The policeman galloped rapidly away, or thero might have been ri bloody riot. . 'Humors wero plentiful, both as to trou blo ahead and ns to tmoedv Mtttlnmont nf tho contest, but this morning both sides nppcotcd to bo firmer Minn over.

RESTITUTION SPEEDILY HADE .1 Two Men Make an Unsuccessful Attempt to Substitute Pasto Jewels For Dia monds While Making an Inspection Under Pretence to Purchase A hold swindling game was attempted at Strotisu's jowelry store, on Main street, yester day and would havo been a success but for the sharp eye, coolness and presenco of mind of the proprietor. Two tall, well dressed men entered the store and, accostlug Mr. Charles Strotise, who stood behind one of tho display cases, asked to bo shown n variety of diamond rings. The men had the appearance of well-to-do, sporty commercial travelers and assumed an air that would easily disarm oue of suspicion. Mr. Strotiso withdrew a tray of rings from tho caso at which lie stood and placed it on tho glass top before tho strangers, who at onco became interested in the selection and entered Into a dicu$slou of the merits of tills and that ting. Several minutes passed and a number of rings wero handled, but Mr. Strouso observed that each taken up by the strangers was carefully replaced in its prupcr position. Finally one of the men intimated that he desired to see other rings. For a moment or two Mr. Strouse's attention was diverted from the rings under inspection and ho drew forth another tray. As ho did so ono of tho men said carelessly, "Never mind, I do not think 1 will make a selection now. We'll call again." Intuitively Mr. Strouse's eyes scanned the first tr.iy and he observed that one ring ap peared to have been hurriedly placed in its place on the tray. Ho picked it up nnd saw at a glance that the ring was a paste diamond substituted for a $123 ring. Tlio strangers had by this time passed to tlio door and were going out as Mr. Strouso exclaimed, "Excuse me, come back a moment." The men hesitated and exchanged glances with each other as if they wero undecided whether a dash or a parley was in order. They were evidently misled by tlio jeweler's coomess anil retained to tlio case I with inquiring glances. .Mr. Strouse i had edned to tho end of the case so that he coultruusily pass around to the open space in whiffli the men stood, but he did so in such an , uiU'oTCerncd manner that they did not seem I to observe it and stood before the case in , ovident expectation that the jeweler in- j tended to throw out inducements to make a sale. ! If such were their impressions they were I very mucu neceiveii. stiou.-e eyed them critically for an instant and then sharply said, "Give me that diamond; I don't want your paste." At the same time Strouse threw the bogus ring upon the glass top of the sliow case. A pamliil expression missed across tlio face of one of the men, while the other remarked to hint in undertone, "It's all up; shell out." Strouse followed up his demand with a shoit and effective story committed to memory for such emer gencies setting forth the ellicacy of a secret button which would bring a couple of officers to the store befoie a fugitive could get ten yards from the entrance and one of the strangers, produced tho stolen ring, at tlio same time forcing $23 into the jeweler's hand with a plea to say no more about the matter i ml promising to give him no further trouble. Tliey also promised to return and make the gift f.")0 ami left the store with as much speed tliey could without sacrificing their assumed dignity of bearing. Tliey have not returned with the other $23 and .Mr. Strouse has not seen them since. Ho says the men were entire strangers to him. One of them incidentally remarked before tho trick was discovered that they came from Jersey City, but, ol course, no laith can bo pinned to that. '1 his caso will serve as a warning to the merchants to beware of swindlers.
