Nkw York, Oct. 5. A special to tho Herald from Washington soys: "Tlio great International question of the hour Is the Venezuelan boundary dis pute. Secretary Olney has prepared a dispatch to Ambassador Bayard which will soon bring tho matter to an Issue. This dispatch is of a most positive and unoquivocal nature. As soon as it shall bo placed before tho British gov ernmont It will raise an issuo which can bo settled only by retreat of ono or the other governments. The stand taken by the United States in this dis patch In one that involves tho oldest and must sacred traditions of tho Mon oe doctrine. Secretary Olney's dispatch is a dec laration in the most poiltlvo language that the United States will never con tent to British occupation of the dis puted territory in Venezuela unless that nation's right thereto Is deter mined by arbitration. This declara tion is substantially the same at that which was made some months ago, and to which tho British foreign office replied with a statement that, whilo English right to a part of the terri tory in question could bo submitted to arbitration, the right to another part could not be submitted to such adjudi cation. When Ureat Britain took this ground the question which President Cleveland and his advisers had to de cide was whether the United States was bound by the Monroe doctrine and by her dignity to insist 'that all of the territory in dispute should be submit ted to arbitration, or whether, by con ceding England's contention, we should virtually abandon tho Held and leave Venezuela to fight it out alone. "In polite but firm and significant words Secretary Olnoy declares It to be the belief of the United States gov ernment that tho territorial claims which Great Britain has set up in Ven ezuela nrc In tho naturo of an attempt to scire territory on tho American continent to which sho has no legal right. "The secretary points out two horns to the dilemma, leaving England to choose which It will nccopt. First If the qunrrol with Venezuela Is an ordinary boundary dispute, having its origin in faulty descriptions, Imperfect surveys or other misunderstanding, a refusal to nrbltrate the same is con trary to the precedents set by Great lirltu'm herself and contrary to the practice of all civilized nations. Sec ondIf, on tho other hand, as appears to be the case, and Is the bollef of tho preildcut of the United States, the dispute ns to the location of a bound ary line is a mere disguise under which Great Britain is attempting by supe rior force to extend her territory in Amerioa, thin is directly vlolatlvp of the Monroo doctrine, and will never be submitted to by tho United 8tatcs. "This Is' tho tmbBtancc of tho dis patch which in all probability will soon become ono of the most famous dispatches ever sunt out from the state department. It is n direct, positive and practical application of the Mon roe doctrino in its broadest aspect to the quarrel between Ureat Britain and Venezuela. It commits tho United States to a position which must be ad hered to." A CONFLICT IS CERTAIN. Northern raclfle Receherahlp In a Dad Muddle. New YonK, Oct. 5. The Northern Paclllo receivership muddle grows more complicated each day, and thoro promises to be a serious conflict bo twoon receivers and judges of federal comas. Tho latest sonsatlon in this famous railroad case was sprung yes terday by United States District Judge Lcconibe of New York, who refused to confirm tho appointment of tho new receivers or to accept the resignations of the old receivers, Mcssra Oakes, Payne and Bouse. The application for rem j vol of the old rccelvera was made by Herbert 11. Turnor, rep resenting the Farmers' Loan and Trust company and a C. Beaman, who ap peared for the general reorganization oommittco. Generals Burnett and Bristow and Henry Stanton, counsel for the Northern Pacific Railroad com pany, opposed the application on tho grou'-d that tho old receivers had not reported or accounted to the court, a ordered, by Judge Jenkins to do monthly. The Northorn Pacific company asked lor a postponement of the case, owing to the absence of Brayton Ives, presf "Sant, and Silas Petit, counsel for tho company. Auother sensation was furnished nt Seattle, Wash., yesterday. As C W. Bunn, attornoy for ox-Keceivcra Oakes, Payno an Rouse, waB about to step on an eastward bound train he was confronted by a deputy United States marshal, who surprised him with a citation directed to tho receiv ers.

Tho commissioner recommends that appropriations for the survey of pub lic lands bo mudo continuous instead of annual, as under the rules of the treasury department it has been found that whore extentlons have bean made upon a contract an extension operates as a new contract and must be paid for out of tho appropriations for tho year for which it won made. He also re news his sutrircstlnn of Innt. vi.ni.

Discussing the net of the last con gress, granting lands to states for ir rigation purposes, tho commissioner Bays that ho believes tho necessity will arise in tho near future for tho crea tion of a national commission whose function it shall be to regulate the dis tribution of theso waters which have their sourco in a superadjacent state, and which havo here toford 'been used in common by the people of that and tho sub-ad jacont states. The commissioner recommends a law to compel tho nttondanco of wit nesses at land ofllccs in contest cases; an appropriation of $50,000 annually for making examinations necessary for tho establishment of forest reser vations and for tho protection of reservations already existing.

Tho amount taken by Oakley was computed ut $21,823.84 and by Nowbold at 310,034.10 from Sep tember 1, 1697.

Considerable anx iety is beginning to be felt in scien tific circles regarding Dr. Donaldson Smlth'fl Afrlnnn nvnnrlUtnn tintvn t which is long overdue. According to tho latest advices Dr. Smith had been stopped by tho Abyssinian army, and it is feared that ho has had to rotrnco his bteps and go in a southwesterly direction. He may thus havo got be hind the district where tho British aro now fighting, at Mwell, on the British Last African coast, and linvo been caught by tho natives. It is hoped, however, that whon he heard of tho fighting, Dr. Smith made a detour, in whlelj case he would bo heard from in the neighborhood of Lake Tanganyiki, or along tho German or English lake routes. Dr. Smltb, who is a resident of Phil adelphia, started from England in the latter part of May, 1894, for the Somali coast, with tho object of reaching lakes Rudolph and Stcfanie from the northeast.

Declines In Stocks Temporarily Checked, Hut Oliatter Mkely to Come Any Day Mug Proportion of the Crate In Iloth Enflnfid and Frente. London, Oct. 7. Whilo South Af rican and other mining shares havo suffered a considerable decline thcio has been a sufficient rally to apparent ly show a bull control of tho scheme, but an ultimate smash Is considered inevitable. All financiers agreo that thero has not been in many years such reckless oven idiotic speculation ns lu many of tho South African ventures. Tlio amount of it moy be realized from tho fact that during tho last month alone, whon tho market wns already seem ingly glutted, companies connected with South Africa and Australia for mining and other purposes wero reg istered at Somenaet house with a capi tal amounting altogether to more than 115 million dollars. These wero ex clusive of tho new ilaruato bank, out of which tlio former stowaway and circus employe, already a multi-millionaire, is said to havo made 5 million dollars within twenty-four hours after putting his scheiuo on thu market. A serious noto of warning of tho coming collapse is given in a thought- fill nflli.1.. U. .1. Xli .1. n--F ..,hiuwb m iiiu .ii i ti u ice u hi uentury from tho pen of an obvious expert, showing that thu market for theso shares is largely artificial, that Its con trol Is in arbitrary, often unscrupu lous, hands, nml that, tlm mmt ........ blo output for next year will not pay adequate interest upon the capital In vested. He gives some startling in stances of the magnitude- of tlio specu lation. The aggregato quotation of Wltwntorsaud shares, for instance, has risen from 1150,000,000 a year ngo to 8750,000,000 now. Shnrcs in certain mines which actually have not paid a farthiog dividend havo risen within a few months 3,0u0 per cent or moro above their faco valuo aro common. More than a year ago a man familiar with South African affairs said that most of the shares oifcred wero as high as they ought to be, but the ad vance since would have surpassed tho wi'.dest imaginations then. Tho craze began in October, 1894, whon speculation turned In tho direc tion of South African mines. For some years beforo that tho public had been given little chanco to speculate, for good securities hud risen so high thero was no uso in buying them in tho hope of another rise. America and Aus tralia woro in bad shape and the spec ulators finally turned to South Africa. Thero was enough real work and profit in the mines to warrant It at first, and somo of the big financial houses of Paris soon became interested. Then company after company was formed and floated. Financial houses bought the shares in many instances and then when tho boom began, split up their holdings and sold certificates of own ership, even as low as one-tenth of a share, to the small purchasers. Eng land first took the fever, then It was caught by Franco, and afterward by Belgium and Germany. Since then ft has been almost universally upward. Some of tho stocks lu which tho deals havo been heaviest are sound finan cially, but a remarkable feature is that tho greatest advances In tho valuo of stock aro found in those companies which pay no dividends. "Berney" Barnato, tho central fig uro in this wild speculative craze, Is a Portuguese by birth, but looks and acts like a typical modern Hngllsh man. His present wealth is estimated at 8100,000,000. Ills latest deal was tho establishment of tho Barnato Bank, Mining and Estate company, limited, with a capital stock of 83,7.'0, 000. The first stock was sold Septem ber 2, and 85 shares wero forced up by crazed speculators to 825 in a day. It was In tho promoting of these companies that tho Barnatos first ap peared. Now tho brothers are inter ested in an almost endless list of con cerns. Ono of their latest is a scheme for the formation of trusts, which are to tako conttacts and claims, said by the promoters to be of great value, but of which the public knows absolutely nothing. The Barnatos went to South Africa as stowaways and circus per formers. HONORS FOR M. PASTEUR. An Inipreiilva Public Funeral Accorded to the Urrat Scientist la 1'urU. PaiiIs, Oct. 7.

He confessed his guilt. Then the father of tho girl, William Henderson, cut off the nogroo's ears, whilo ono of the crowd pounded bis Augers, joint by joint, one finger at a time, until the hand was a shapeless mass. This was because, in the strug gle to subdue Miss Henderson, ho had bitten oil ono of her fingers. Each man in the crowd then took a turn ut shooting at the wretch until, when he died, he must have had four or fivo pounds of lead In him. He was literally shot to pieces.

The opinion is expressed hero by certain sporting men that Corbett is building up a foundation to get out of his fight if possible. It was noticed that to every nowspnper man who inter- V? viewed him, Corbett talked only on i ono subject, and that was on tho many N strings that wero attached to tho Fitz slmmons stake.

Sullivan has kept this as his last card. Corbett very bluntly said that Fltz slinmnns would have to put up 810,000 In the stakeholder's hands, without an attachment tied to it, or he would not fight Ho claims that Fltzsimmou only has S-'.OOO of tho sldo bet up, the other 81,000 being attached by thop Metropolitan Printing company and Attorney Friend, formerly tho Aus tralian's lawyer. Corbett is claiming that Phil Dwyer told him just before he left Now York thnt if ho won he would get but 88,000 of tho sldo bet. Corbett also says that ho will fight Fitzslmmons for the side bet ulone'.but puts in the old proviso that 810,000 un attached must bo put up. Local sporting men are of tho opin ion that this provision of Corbet t'a M will occasion considerable trouble be- fore October 31. Just why the cham pion is anxious to havo the referee se lected at this time cannot ho learned. Both Corbett nnd his manajVr, Billy Brady, aro clamoring for the referee to bo chosen immediately.
