tmaaador Hayarila Stftteuieut-
Nkw York, Oct. Tlio London
correspondent of the World cables the
following: "In conversation with an
official of high standing and inti
mately acquainted with ull the irisido
facts of the Venezuelan dispute, I
learned that the ministerial conten
tion here is that the prescifl decisive
action of the British government was
provoked by the recent dispatch from
the American state department en
forcing hi strenuous terms the Monroe
doctrine in connection with the ques
tion. My Informant told me, that to
his positive knowledge, at an Inter
view at which Ambassador ISayard
was communicating the terms of u dis
patch to Lord Salisbury, tho latter in
terrupted him midway with the re
mark that he need not proceed further,
as the Itritish govcrnmen', could not
even entertain the arguments put
forward, . and absolutely declined
to recognize such an application
of the Monroe doctrine. Tho
terms of Lord Salisbury's w.-itten re
ply were practically the same and in
cluded a complaint of tho tone in
which the question had been dealt
with in the dispatch of the American
government as increasing the difficul
ties of the s tuation. in the name
document the State department was
invited to remember that Lughind was
an American power before the exist
ence of the United States, and her
rights on the American continent con
sequently were anterior to thoso of
the United States, Ambassador
Jinyurd, in further communica
tion to the Uritish foreign of
fice, pointed out that there is no
certainty that Kngland is right
uhout the Venezuelan frontier as in
the Mritisli colonial otHee list, the au
thorized publication of the colonial
department, it is stated that the boun
daries of the liritfch Guiana have
never been clearly defined in regard
to tho parts now in dispute. Tins was
an awkward reference for the British
government, but Lord Salisbury re
plied that the colonial ollice list, not
uei:ig an official publication, the Brit
ish government could not be responsi
ble for its statements.
The Chronicle publishes an Inter
view with United States Ambassador
Hayard, in which the latter is quoted
us saying that he had only vory gen
eral ideas of the latest phase of tho
Venezuelan trouble, except what he
hud gathered from the newspapers.
His latest mission was an endeavor of
the friendliest character to arrange to
resume the Venezuelan frontier nego
tiations. Lord Salisbury had listened
to his argument in the best spirit. The
delay of Lord Salisbury's reply was
doubtless due to the latter's holiday
and to the subsequent occupation of
tie foreign office. The man disputes
of the United States with Venezuela
had always been amicably arranged
by a board of conciliation, and Mr,
Bayard said he did not see why the
same methods had not been adopted
ns between Venezuela and Kngland.
Lord fcalisbiiry'sdeinandon Venezuela
for reparation, he added,' vus-quite
P"Jild? Ms pi'in in the affair.
! The 'l'Tuiv says editorially: ".Some
of our American friends have been too
previous in their interpretations of a
report that the Marquis of Salisbury
has sent an ulUmatum to Vene
zuela, Lord Salisbury's disputch
had to be sent through Berlin.
Its tenor was not such as to raise
tho questions which a portion of tho
American press seem so anxious to
discuss. The claim that the right
bank of the Cnyani river belongs to
them does not iustify tho Venezue
lans in an attack upon the British
police. Until their violent act is
atoned for and uu ample apology is
made, they are in a position of having
suddenly removed the d'spnte from
the sphere of diplomacy and chal
lenged its settlement by force. Wheth
er they count upon enjoying immunity
on account of the distance to the
scene of action from Kngland, like
other weak states, or they presume
upon their insignificance to do things
no great power would attempt, it Is
time the Caracas politicians were
taught a salutary lesson.
The St. James Gazette of to-day de
clares itself to be opposed to arbitra
tion iu any form, saying: " Arbitra
tion not only does not apply to the
present dispute, but it is tin- uutil
thing, when there Is recourse to this
kind of international tribune, for
tho arbitrators to find against Lug
lund and the weight of evidence; ami
in tho few cases where the finding lias
been In our favor the other hide de
clines to pay."

SHERMAN TO FOSTER
The Htalmamn Telia Iloir Ttard R Toolt
nia I (Vol of lHitO.
Chicago, (let. sxThe following
letter from Sherman's book to Hon.
Charles Foster shows how much to
heart Mr. Shermau took his defeat for
president in ISSu:
Wasiiinuto.v, ,T me 30, 38SO.
Dkar Sin: Your letter of the :.':id
came while I was still absent on tho
Chesapeake bay. I regret that I did
not see you, for a free conversation
would be far more satisfactory than
letter writing. 1 wish to be perfectly
frank with you. as since 1 first became,
acquainted with von 1 have felt for
you warili friendship, and have al
ways had entire confidence in you. I
confess, however, that the information
1 received in regard to your operations
in Chicago had greatly weakened this
feeling and left, u painful impression
upon my mind that you huu not dono
by me as 1 would have done by you
under like cireumstauees. Your
letter chafed away much of this
impression, and pcrhups the better
way would be for me to write no
more, but to treat your letter hs en
tirely satisfactory und conclusive.
Still 1 think it right or me to give
you the generul basis of the impres
sions L had formed. My first, impulse
was to send you a muss of letters
from delegates and others attending
the convention, but this could only
create a controversy and perhaps be
tray confidence, which I could nt do.
The general purport of these letters is
that, while you spoke freely and
kindly of me. yet there was always 11
kind of reserve in favor of Blaine and
u hesitation in pressing me that indi
cated a divided opinion, that partly by
the divisions in the Ohio, delegation
and partly by tho halfway support of
yourself, and, perhaps, "other?,, the
Ohio delegation lost its moral strength,
and practically defeated mo before
any ballot was had.
This general Impression I could have
passed by, but it was distinctly slated
to me, by delegates and friends of
delegates present in the convention,
that they proffered the vote of largo
portions of ihcir respective delegations
10 you, with the understanding that
they were to be cast for me wnenercr
you indicated the proper moment.
This was specifically said as to In
diana, Massachusetts and the Blaine
portion of the Pennsylvania, delega
tion. It was said you prevented
Massachusetts from voting for ma
from about the tenth to the fifteenth
ballot on Monday; that nine of the
Connecticut delegates held themselves
ready to vote for me on your call, but
that you put it off, and Harrison U
quoted as saying that twenty-six votes
from Indiana were ready to be cast
for me Monday, at nny time after a
few ballots, but they were withheld
on account of representations from
the Ohio delegation. Mr. Killings of
Vermont Is quoted as saying that tho
Vermont delegation, with two or three
exceptions, were ready to vote for me,
but were discontented with tho posi
tion taken by you, and doubted
whether you desired their vote for me.
These and many other allegations of
similar import, coming one after tho
other, led me to believe you had
changed the position you took in the
early part of tho canvass and had come
to tint conclusion that it was not wise
to nominate me, and that other ar
rangements for your future influenced
you in changing your opinion. This
impression caused tne more pain than
anything that has transpired since the
beginning of tho contest.
J assure you I have no regreti over
the results of the convention. Indeed,
the moment it wo.t over I felt a sense
of relict that 1 had not had for six
months. The nomination of (iarficld
is entirely satisfactory to me. The
only shade that rests on this feeling is
the' fact that (iarficld went there by
my selection to represent me and
comes from tho convention with the
honor that I had sought.
1 will do him the justice to say that
I have seen no evidence that he has
contributed to that result except by
his good conduct in the presence of
the convention. I had always looked
with great favor upou tho contingency
that if I was not nominated after a
fair and full trial, und Blaine was, you
would be tho candidate for the vice
presidency, and had frequently haid to
inn In?. I friends that this was my de
sire. The contingency of iaitield's
nomination 1 did not consider, for 1
suppoteit that, lis he was secure in tho
Semite for six years, he would not de
sire the presidency, but us it has come
to him without his self-seeking, it is
honorable and rifht. and I have no
eauso of complaint. If I had believed
i.e had used tho position 1 gave him to
supplant inc. I would consider it dis
honnrubie and would not support him;
but, while sueh statements have been
made to inc. I feel bound to suy that
hnvj never seen nor heard from credi
ble siiurecs any ground for such uu
imputation, und. therefore, ho shall
liuf) my earliest and hearty support.

PUGILISTIC PALAVER.
More Scl:mc und Farinca of the Cham
pion riat 8liCr.
Lrrrr.K Hock, Ark., Oct M. Despito
the fact that the light has been de
clared nit (Jovernor Clarke and his ad
visers do not propose to drop the legal
proceedings to test the prize fight law
of the State. Yesterday afternoon
Attorney (iouerul Kinswortby filed in
the supremo court a transcript of the
proceedings at Hot Springs, and asked
for an injunction pending the final
disposition of the case. Attorney Mar
tin for Corbett objected and the court
postponed uction until to-day, though
tiic Males attorneys pleaded vigor
ously for some ruling at once, so as
to allow the governor to take imme
diate action.
liovernor Clarke, Attorney General
Kinsworthy, Judge J!oso aud Judge
Hemingway were closeted the entire
evening talking ovfr the situation.
The action of the court has a tendency
to arouse the temper of Governor
Clarke and it is asserted by knowiug
ones that Uio governor will not wait
for the disposition of the case in the
supreme court, but will call a special
session of the legislature. He had the
clerks in his otlice and the Secretary of
State's oflieo at work the entire alter
noon preparing telegrams to the sena
tors and representatives, calling them
to Little Hock at once.
Tho announcement that the flejit
between Co'"bett and Uitzsinimons lias
been declared off and that Ma her has
been substituted for Fitzsimmons is
believed here to be a subterfuge to get
Kitzslmmons to Hot Springs. This ac
complished, the fight will be pulled
off us previously arranged. This is
also Governor Clarke's otllcial version
of the affair.
A state official said that a special
cession of the legislature would coa
stline tho entire balunce in the general
revenue fund and cause all state em
ployes, including state oflicials, su
preme judges, clerks, etc.. to wait
until January, when the liquor licenses
ore collected, for their salaries. There
is only $l,'i,OU0 In :he treasury to the
credit of that fund.
To-day Stuart and Vendig state that
in view of Fitzsimmons' arbitrary
stand, t he contract between the club
and the fighters, insofar as it relates
to Fitzsimmons, is abrogated. The
club stands reudy now to offer a new
contract, which comprehends a modi
fication of the purse offered to, say
S.'.'i, 0(10 at the most, and the fixing of
the date of battle two, or possibly
three weeks later than the original
date. Vendig and Stuart are a unit on
this point.
Vendig this morning got a telegram
from J. J. Quinn, Maher's backer,
offering to bet 9r,000 on the Irishman
it the match between ' Corbett and
Maher could be made. '
Julian made a statement to the pub
lic to-day iu which he said: "Fitzsim
mons to-day stands ready to carry out
to the letter every word contained in
the articles to which he signed his
name. He wants to fight James J.
Corbett; he wants to fight forthe purse
offered by the Florida Athletic club
and the stake of JlO.Ooo a side, if the
Florida , Athletic club is still unwill
ing or unable to carry out its part of
the compact, in so far as the purse is
concerned, then Hobert Fitzsimmons
will, on October 31, take James J. Cor
bett to any part of the globe within
reach of both men, and there and then
fight him to a finish for the 310,000 a
side stake, each man to select six men
and these only to be present at the
fight.
BISHOPS SPEAK. "
Die Triennial Vaatorjl Letter Read to
the 1'ouvention.
Minnkat-oi.is, Minn., Oct 23. The
two houses of the Episcopalian con
vention met in joint session this after
noon, as the final act of the three
weeks' session, when the pastoral
letter prepared by the bishops was
read by Bishop Littlcjohu of Long
Island.
Fully third of tho letter is devoted
to a discusniun of certain tendencies
in the church toward ritualism and
toward too great liberality. Un
authorized methods of celebrating
communion and other offices of the
church are severely rebuked and the
letter makes this significant state
ment: "We are Indeed be
tween two perilous temleucies. Ori
the one hand there is a demand
for concessions which will mttke it
easy for members of Christian bodies,
not In communion with the church, to
enter her ministry, to transfer them
selves bodily as congregations, with
faint and feeble guards of soundness
in their forms of worship On tho

peiida 011 I nselllah 1'oliclea.
Atlanta, a., Oct. '?4. To-t'ay w;h
perfect in every way and the thousands
of visitors swelled the throngs on the
streets to immense proportions so that
locomotion soon became difficult. The
presidential parly spent the morning
quietly at the Aragou until 1 1 o'clock
when they were driven rapidly to the
exposition grounds without any pa
rade whatever. Inside tho gated
the military was already gathered.
After the review tho president was
introduced by President Collier of the
exposition company. 1'resident Cleve
land's appearance at the front of the
stand was tho signal for an outburst
of applause from the multitude, lie
said:
"Mr. President: On my own buhalf
and for my co-laborers in the execu
tive branch of our government who
have accompanied me, 1 thanit you for
your kiud words of greeting. U'e nro
here to congratulate you aud your as
sociates upon the splendid success of
the exposition you have set on foot
and upon the evidences you havo
gathered, chiefly illustrative of .South
ern enterprise, .Southern industry and
Southern recuperation Jtut we are
also here to claim a share in the pride
of your achievement. No portion of
our countrymen, wherever found,
can exclusively appropriate the
glory arising from tlie.e sur
roundings. They are proofs of
American genius and Industry which
nro the joint possession of all our
people, and they represent triumphs
of American skill and ingenuity in
which all our citizens, from the high
est to the humblest, have a proprietary
right. While my fellow citizens of
Ucorg'a and her neighboring states
may felicitate themselves to the fullest
extent upon such evidences as are luva
found of the growth anil prosperity of
the Interests and enterprises iu which
they are especially concerned, I ca'h
nat be deprived of the enjoyment
afforded by the reflection tiiat tho
work they havo done emphasizes in
the sight of tho world the immense
resources and indomitable thrift of
the people of the United Statei.
'It seems to me the thought may be
suggested as not inappropriate to t.is
occasion, that what we see about us is
an outgrowth of another exposition in
augurated on American soil more than
a century ago, when a new nation was
exhibited to the civilized world, guar
anteed and protected by a constitution
which wasordalned and established by
tho people of the United States, with
the declared purpose of promoting
their general welfare and securing tho
blessings of liberty to themselves and
their posterity.
"The riicccs4 which lias attended
the exposition of products und manu
facturers is not altogether due to tho
quality of the soil or character of the
people in any of tho contributing
states, but it rests largely upon the
fact that these states are members of
a beneficiently governed nation,
whose natural resources and advant
ages everywhere have been de
veloped and improved by tho
influence of free institutions, and
wfioee people nave been stimulated
and encouraged by the blessings of
personal liberty. A contemplation of
tho benefits vouchsafed io 113 ty our
government easily remind 3 us of tho
importance of a hearty and united
co-oieratioii iu their support and pro
tection. We should lovingly watch
and guard it, not only because we are
recipients of its precious gifts, but for
its own sake, and because it has beon
put into our hands in sacred keeping,
to prove to the' world that man can bo
trusted with self government.
"We shall walk in the path of patri
otic duty, it remembering that our
free institutions were established to
promote the general welfare, wc strive
for those things which benellt all our
people, and each of us is content to
receive from a common fund his share
of the prosperity thus contributed.
We shall miss our duty and forfeit our
heritage if, in narrow selfishness, wc
are heedless of the general welfare
anil struggle to wres! from tho liov
rnmeut private advantages which
2:111 only be gained ut tho expense of
our fellow countrymen.
"I hope 1 may therefore be per
mitted in conclusion to suggest, us u
most important lesson tail;; lit by this
occasion, the absolute necessity to our
national health and welfare, and c I
sequent ly to our iuiliviilnii'. happiness
as citizens of a careful ;'enmiuation

Tho immediate cause of this extraor
dinary meeting was the action of the
presidents, Joseph F. Smith and
lieorge (j. Cannon, of the Mormon
church, who, at a meeting of
the priesthood, recently censured two
members of the church, 15. II. Roberts
und Moses Thatcher, for accepting
nominations for Congress and the.
United States Senate on the Demo
cratic ticket without asking pcrniissiou
of tho church aut horities. The con
vention was composed of a major! ty
of Mormons, but they, as well as the
(icntile members, were loud and al
most savage in their denunciation of
the action of Cannon and Smith in
the priesthood meeting.
A considerable number of the mem
bers favored withdrawing the Demo
cratic ticket altogether and organizing
an anti-statehood party.
At the evening session the commit
tee on address presented a very
lengthy report, the larger part of
which wasareview of the religion and
politics of the people of Utah from tho
first settlement of ths valley up to tho
present time. . The address closes as
follows:
We declare the truth to be: That
man may worship his Maker as his
conscience dictates.
That no state nor political body has
the right to interfere with this great
privilege.
That man's first allegiance, politi
cally, is to his country,
That no church, ecclesiastical body,
nor spiritual adviser should encroach
upon the political lights of the indi
vid ual.
That in a free country, no man, no
body of men, can with safety to tho
state, use the name or the power of
any religious sect or society to influ
ence or control the elective franchise.
That no citizen, by reason of his as
sociation with any church, can bo
absolved from his .duty to the state,
either in times of war or times of
peace, without the consent of the
state ,
'J'h ' ill men should be, and of right
are, t ie to think, free to net, free to
speak, and free to vote, without fear,
molestation, intimidation or undue in
fluence. We, therefore, in the most solemn
munner, say that wu will not be dic
tated to, interfered with or hindered
in our political duties by those selected
to minister to us the consolations of
(iospel.
We call upon the Democrats of
Utah, men, women and children, and
ull other people who sympathize with
our efforts to secure political freedom,
to assemble in every hamlet through
out tho territory on the evening of
Wednesday, October HO, at their usual
places of meeting, then and tliero to
read this declaration, to listen to such
remarks as may be properly made in
connection therewith, and to solemnly
consecrata themselves, their efforts,
their property and all that they hold
dear, if need be, to this cause of hu
raan liberty.
And this cause, with- the help of
tho One who holds the utiiveie in the
hollow of Ids hand, we will ever ad
vance and maintain.

WRECK ON THE WABASH.
Two FrelRht Traina Colliiie :ir Meilias
III tNK .MirU
Mkxjco, Mo Oct. HI. A local freight
train west bound, was standing on the
Wabash track- at Marlinsburg last
night about 7 o'clock, when a through
freight running at the rate of about
thirty-five miles per hour, dashed into
the rear end. destroying tho caboose
and four freight cars, and killing Ktl
win Thompson of Ccntralia and Daniel
Kehoe of Moberly. The depot plat
form was reduced to kindling wood
and the depot was moved of! its
fouudutiou about a foot and a half.
The fast freight engine was badly
wrecked. O. T. Harris, a traveling
man of Fulton, was badly hurt.
Much train had orders to look out
for the other. The engineer of the
fast freight claims that he did not see
the lights of the other until it was too
late to stop his train, though ho re
versed the lever and put on the brakes.
He ana the fireman saved their lives
by jumping. The truck cast of Mar
tinsburg z-uns on a straight Hue for
about tour miles and it is strange
that the engineer did not see the rear
lights iu time to ston. The track is
oow repaired and trains are running
egularly,
Thompson was a rich farmer, un
Jiarriod. Kehoe was pump repairer
lor the Wabash road.

.Tkfk:i:son Citv. Mo.. Oct. St. Judge
A cln ins of tho Federal Court made a
ruling here yesterday in regard to tho
Ooverrunent's jurisdiction over postal
matter that is of much Importance.
Charles Dorton, a negro employed by
Warden Pace at the penitentiary to do
odd jobs and carry the United States
mail to and from the prison, was in
dicted for rifling letters of valuables,
such as itione. postal notes, stamps,
etc. After testimony for t h Oovcrn
inent had been introduced, the attor
neys for the negro demurred 011 the
ground that Dorton was an agent and
as the government delivered the let
ters into his hands its jurisdiction,
ended, in other words that after tin
agent has received mail property, tho
government cannot follow him up and
see that it is delivered to the person
addressed. The court sustained this
demurrer and the negro was dis
charged, 'this is an entirely new rul
ing i t this division of Hie Federal
courts, nlthotigh not without piece-
dcut elsewhere. .
