BRITAIN ASKS AMERICA'S AI John Bnll Appeals for the Intervention i Uncle Sam. SIR JULIAN PAUNCEFOTE VISITS OLNE nrfort to Secnrr- the Ilclenxof M lliirrloiin In Vrnrriiela Through theInlliienof of tlie United Strife * . WASHINGTON , June 23. Secretary Olm received calls today from Sir Julian Paunc fete , the British ambassador , and Mlulst Andrade of Venezuela , with both of whom ] conferred separately concerning the crrc by Venezuelan troops of the British crov surveyor. Harrison , on the British Vcnezu Ian boundary. It Is understood that Julian , acting under Instructions from t British foreign office , requested the friend Intervention of the United States toward E curing the release of Harrison , as was do by the British authorities in behalf of t : American , John Hays Hammond , during t Transvaal uprising. Mr. Andrade was flrst at the departmet so at the time of his call the British reque had not been submitted. Mr. Andrade call very early , before the usual hour when dlpl matlc business begins. He was with M Olncy some time , going over quite fully t circumstances of the Harrison Incident. T \ lew of the minister was that the affair h been magnified and that it was lacking circumstances of serious hdignity or wro : to the British. Both he and Mr. Olney d cussed the matter Informally , however , no official dispatches were at hand ellh from the United States minister at Carac or from the government to Mr. Andrai This circumstance was regarded as showl ; that the Caracas authorities did not ntta the importance to the subject that it h assumed In London. Sir Julian's call was made an hour aft Mr. Andrade had left. The exact natu of the British request was not made publ but Its essential feature was a request f friendly intervention by the United Statt Owing to the British-Venezuelan troub the British have no minister or consul Venezuela , so that It is necessary for i outside power to act for them in any trar action with Venezuela. Germany , herel fore , has acted In this capacity for t British , but the Interest and Influence whl the United States has with Venezuela e' dently Inclined the British to seek the go offices of this country rather than those Germany. It is believed that Secretary Olney alrea has taken steps to communicate with t Venezuelan government through the medlt of the United States minister at Caraci Ordinarily the first step of our secreta of state would be to seek to ascertain f himself , through our minister , the cxa facts In the case , but in view of the pec liar relations of the parties he might i ! part so far from the ordinary methods proceed in the present instance with a i ouest that Mr. Harrison be released a that the status quo be thus restored to wt it was before the arrest , being understo that until that time there shall be no a vance on either side until the case can settled soberly on its merits. The Interview Between Secretary Oln and Sir Julian lasted half an hour , and neither side was there any disposition make public anything as to its natui There is reason to believe , hov.-cver , that solution of the present difficulty Is expect xvlthln two or three days. nxi'UCTs A.V APOI.OR Think" Voncxiielu Will HeooKul that n MlKIlike Was Miul < - . iCepyrlBht.

It is safe to say the Brit ! government will not allow the arrest Mr. Harrison to pass without notice and is possible a remonstrance of a most c phatlc nature will be made to the govei ment of Venezuela. A high authority up the Venezuelan question In an Intervli on the subject expressed the opinion tt in spite of the serious aspect the dispt had once more assumed it was not ! i ! offensive measures partaking of the nati of a war would be necessary , ns It was t opinion of those best qual ! ed to judge tt the arrest of the crown surveyor was r the direct act of the government of Vet zuela. but was due to the hasty and prol bly Irresponsible act of some focal agen acting under a misapprehension , and tt when proper representations are made the government at Caracas the latter w apologize.

Before starting 1 * ald concerning the populist attitude on ll presidential question : "The recent pr nunciamcuto of a few populist gentlemen St. L"buls urging the democratic convcntli to nominate Mr. Teller was In my Judgmc an impertinence and It was treacherous far as It attempted to tpeak for the pop list party as a whole. These gentlotni spoke without authority from the popull party and I do not believe the party w sustain them. They had not conferred wl the party and had no commission to Epei for It. Personally I have a high regard f Mr. Teller , but I have no Idea that the o party spirit of the democratic orgaatzatli will be so far relaxed as to brine about I nomination. "In any event I do not think exNtii conditions warrant populist endorsement the democratic presidential ticket , ev though the nominee Is for fiee silver ai the platform contains a positive free sllv declaration. 1 regard the Integrity and pt petuity of the populist party as essentl to carrying out the plan of reforms we ha espoused. The money question Is but o cf these. While the democratic convent- ! - doubtless will be for free silver , yet it w not be expressive of those other great qut lions of land tenure and of labor which t ! populist party regards .as vital. 1 h ; hoped that there might be some amalgam tlon of democrats , populists , silver im and all others In a new declaration of prl clples. and. If need be , a new name. B the time for that has gone by and all th remains Is for the populist party to tnal tain Its Integrity by nominating Its ov candidates on Its own plaifnrm. "Concerning the populist LJndldatcs , personally favor the nomination of Go ernor Holcomb of Nebraska for first pla on the ticket , and I had considered Nuge of Texas as the strongest man for secoi place up to- the time of his death. Und the clrcumrtanccs Tom Watson of GeorR is probably the most available man. Tt combines the west and the south , the ti sections to which we look for results.

The secretary ot agriculture has Issued an order postponing the requirement of certificates on export beef until March IB. 1S97. This revokes all previous conflicting orders. Secretary Morton says : The greater part ot tie exporte-d beef Is now Inspected and will be certified nnd any government de siring to secure Inspected beef , exclusively , may do so by making the proper regulations. It Is not. however , deemed practicable to exclude from exportation to countries which gladly accept the beef which the retail butchers find unsalcble because It Is cut from Inferior portions of the carcass Much of this beef has been Inspected , but thcro Is no way of ldentlf > lng It after the carcass has been cut. As a considerable number of firms collect these special cuts from the retailers and pack them for exportation , to enforce the statute as It stands would de stroy their business. An amendment to tha law which will avoid this undesirable re sult has been favorably reported from the proper committee In each branch of con gress and I deem It my duty to postpone tho- ordcr requiring certificate' ! until this bill has been duly considered and acted upon by the law-making power of the government.
