OUR FOREjGN FRIENDS France and Russia Would Aid Us Against England. Isolation of Great Britain In lior Foreign Policy—Tho Venezuelan Controversy Complicated with the Threatening eastern War Cloud. Recent Diplomatic Events. Washington, Oct. 28.—Complications of the eastern and western hemispheres aeein to be strangely intermixed just now, so far as can be judged from the general trend of diplomatic gossip and other confirmatory sources of informa tion. A particularly strong undercur rent of secret diplomatic information generally gives some surface indications discernible by experienced observers. Suggestive manifestations of this kind have been veTy noticeable within the last few days with regard.to the Chinese- Venezuelan situation. Chinese-Russian Treaty. Notwithstanding the fact that Shang hai has been generally and justly dis credited as a source of accurate informa tion in regard to Chinese and Japanese complications, statements originating there in respect to a treatv with China securing to Russia u northern Pacific terminus for its groat Siberian railroad are generally accepted here as true. Ngr is any doubt cast upon the other state ment from the same source that a fleet of fifteen Russian warships lias sailed for Fusan, the Korean port nearest to Japan, and barely twelve hours distant from the Japanese mainland. Grave Com plica I lons Probable. It is also regarded as certain that this movement on the part of Russia will bring about grave complications with Great Britain as threatening the secu rity of the British eastern empire. The general tone of diplomatic discussion also recognizes the fact that Great Britain stands alone among European powers, without one ally upon whom she could rely. The Venezuelan Controversy. It is under these circumstances that the Venezuelan controversy comes under consideration and becomes mixed up with the threatening eastern war cloud. While it is not supposed that hostilities between the United States and Great Britain can result from British in fraction of the Monroe doctrine in Vene zuela and the alleged ultimatum said to have been addressed to that little re public (which ultimatum, by the way, has not yet appeared in evidence), never theless the urgency of tho situation has been recognized in two very significant ways. Wo May Rely on Russia. The first has relation to the farewell visit of Prince Cuntacuzeue, the late Russian ambassador, to Secretary Olney. It is stated on good authority that the Russian diplomat's leave taking was given especial significance by his recall ing the ancient friendship of Russia to the United States as manifested by the Emperor Alexander dispatching a Rus sian squadron to New York when France and England threatened to recognize the southern confederacy. Prince Cantacu zene, it is said, intimated, in guarded diplomatic phrases, that should similar emergency arise the good ofllees of Rus sia could again bo depended upon. Importance of Intcrviow Enhanced. The imporance of this interview was enhanced by an immediate manffestu tion of excessive courtesy on tho part of the leading remaining members of the Russian legation towards the Venezue lan minister in Washington. Formal visits were exchanged in a manner most unusual in the iuter< >nrso of European diplomats and tho representatives of American states, whose inter change of courtesies lias always hitherto been restricted to public functions and ceremonial occasions. The absence of any conceivable motive except an expres sion by Russia of friendly interest in be half of Venezuela in its controversy with Great Britain for these unaccus tomed diplomatic calls has given them much importance. England Isolated. These diplomatic "straws" indicating the course which Russia would take in the event of tho United States contro versy with Great Britain reaching an acute stage have brought out another significant and hitherto unpublished in cident which illustrates still more strongly how completely isolated Great Britain is In its foreign policy. When Rio Janeiro was being bombarded by tlse fleet of Admiral Mello with a view to the restoration of tho Portuguese monarchy and before our Admiral Ben ham broke the blockade, Great Britain proposed to send a squadron to Brazilian waters which would outnumber the American forces. Franco Also Our Friend. When this intention was made known the French minister in Washington, by instructions of his government, waited unon Secretary Gresham and gave him the assurance that for every additional warship sent by* Great Britain France would send two. That intimation was enough; no more British ships wero sent and the attempt to re-establish imperial ism in Brazil fell to the ground. BE FKIESE'S BODY FOUND.

She has now been fully loaded I ( with over 800 tons of coal and her ! draught forward is two feet five inches I greater than aft. This is not uncommon. I 1 Many other ships when fully loaded are ' I down by the head more or less. When ' tho ship lias been at sea for a few days J 1 this will bo corrected in great part at j least by using the coal which is generally 1 taken from the forward part of the ves- * sel. As to the listing of the Maine to the starboard, this is not a matter of t importance. It can be easily corrected j by adjustment of weights in loading." I < !
