Mr. Sherman Sat s There Will lie No War
Hiul That There t No Occasion for All
Till Haute Mr. Morgan Would I.Ike
J'ronipt Action The Senate Substitute
for the IIonse'Mcnsure.
DUcntilni; Venexnelti, Mntter.
WAbiiimuton, Dec 21. The foreign
affairs commtttco of tho Senate mot
early this morning and devoted tho
timo boforo tho assembling of tho
Senate to consideration of tho Vene
zuelan commission bill passed by tho
Uouso tho day after tho President's
messago was sent to Congress. After
somo discussion, tho following was
agreed upon:
"That tho sum of $100,00(, or 60
much thereof as may bo necessary, bo
and tho snmo is hereby appropriated
for the expenses of a commission to
consist of tlireo members to be ap
pointed by tho President, by and with
tho ndvico nnd consont of the Senate,
to investlgnto nnd report to him tho
factsdu regard to tho divisional lino
botweon the republic of Venezuela
and British Guiana; provided, tlia sec
tion z or tlio act approved July al,
1804, making appropriations for tho
legislative, executive and judicial ex
penses of tho government shall not
apply to nny commissioners appointed
under this act."
When the senate was about to con
vene Mr. Allen of Nebraska consulted
with his Populist friends as to whether
ho would consent to allow tho com
mission bill to go to third rending nnd
passage to-day. Finally ho said that
ho would not object to its passage to
day. As soon as tho Senate met, Mr. Mor
gan secured unnnlmous consent for the
consideration of tho IIouso Venezuelan
bill and it was at once read. Then ho
offered tho Scnato substitute and
brieily explained tho changes.
Mr. Piatt of Connecticut said that
any delay would be construed in Eng
land as hesitation on America'? part
and that it was essential not tochango
the bill. As to that part which
changed tho wording as to tho report
of tho commission upon tho true di
visional line, or tho facta in tho case,
ho claimed that tho fnots would bo tho
divisional line. Tho amendment of
tho Senate would bo construed as re
ceding on tho part of tho Senate, nnd
the Senate should notify Great Iiritain
that America is behind r,ho President.
Mr. Sherman said that tho Presi
dent'o'coursehad been approved unan
imouslv by both houses of Congress.
England was not making any fresh
aggressions and wns not taking tho
matter- very seriously. Ho thought
that tho disputo would bo settled
honorably and that no American blood
would bo shed. The fact that tho
Scnato amended tho bill could not be
construed In any way as meaning that
tlio Senate did not stand llrmly by
tho President. Tho amendments
would Improve tho bill and he had no
doubt if mado they would be accepted
by tlio House. "It seems to me," ho
continued, "that all this is tno linKtv:

COMMITTED FIVE MURDERS
Harry Itafwnrd's Confoton Mmln Jut
Iteforo IIIh IZxocutlon.
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 21. Tho
ante-mortem statement of Harry Hay
ward, making 30,000 words, is In many
respects a most remarkable document.
It was mndo under the most formal
conditions and with solemn assertions
on tho murderer's part that ho was
telling tho truth. Not only docs he
claim to havo murdered during his
brief career, no less than five different
people, but in describing the various
tragedies in which he figured he sliows
nu utter absence of humun feeling,
and a pleasure In his achievements
that murks him as an unusual typo of
criminal. Tho language used in de
scribing his criminal adventures Is In
tho careless, flippant style that char
acterized his testimony on, tho stand.
Money, ho said, was' his object in
life, giils tlio second, and travel tho
third. There was a girl in Minneap
olis with whom ho was going and who
had 52,000 a year. Ho had planned to
Kill her, but did not because thero
was no way he could get her money.
He longed to do the deed. "She used
to mako mo so d mad," said Hay
ward, "that 1 wanted to choke her. 1
can understand how Durrant killed
those two girls in San Francisco with
pleasure."
His first murder was that of Carrie
Hass, near Pasudcnn, Cal., whose little
fortune of $700 ho secured. Once
when tending bar in Long Hrnnch ho
killed a consumptive man who was
thero. Tho consumptive had money
and wanted to die. Tito name Harry
refused to toll on the irround that ho
had an accomplice who might get into
trouble now, but this murder was by
shooting, too, nnd tho body had been
thrown Into tho water. Then thero
was a Chinaman killed in a gambling
quarrel and tho brothor of tho Mexi
can girl at 1.1 Paso Del .Norte, aim
lastly Miss Ging.

St. PKTEitsuuno, Dec 21. Tho Rus
plan newspapers generally discuss the
Venezuelan question, and express tho
belief that It will have a paciSc Issue.
Tlio Novostl considers that tho poslT
tlon assumed by the United States is
in conflict with the luterests of the
whole of Europe, and suggests that
tho niediuiion of certain European
powers will probably result in a
peaceful settlement of the dispute.
CANADA TALKS DEFENSE.
Thirty Thousand Troop Heady for Action
If Needed AUrut Not Yet I-clt.
Ottawa, Ontario, Dec. SI. Officials
of tho government claim that in caso
of war botween Ureat Hrltalu and the
United States Canada could In twenty
four hours put 30,000 fully equipped
men Into tho field and hold any force
the United States in likely .o bring
against this country in chedr for a
counlo ut months ut'least. The situa
tion"! generally viewed as ono of tho
greatest gravity, calling for prompt
preparation for defense, but not for
any alarm.
UNITED STATES' ALLIES.
Sonth and Centrnt American Countries
Will UW Their Support.
Washington, Dec. 21. Among Sec
retory Olney's callers yesterday were
Minister Andrndo of Venezuela, Minis
ter Mcndooca of Brazil and Minister
Romero of Mexico, representing thrco
of tho first republics of South and
Central America. Although nono of
tho Central and South American dip
lomats will consent to bo quoted re
garding their call, it is known that
they, as a rule, havo cabled their gov
ernments that tho present sccmH an
opportune time for invoking tho Mon
roe doctrine as a means of nupport
nguinst European pressure, several of
t lie in being involved in disputes
with European nations at this time
Tho statement is mado by ono
of them that several important re
sults will follow tho vigorous con
struction of the Monroo doctrine.
First, it is said, will be tho official
adherence of tho Southern Republics,
making tho declaration practically
unnnlmous from tho countries of tho
Western hemisphere It is pointed
out that Lord Salisbury insisted that
the Monroo doctrino was not recog
nized as international law, but this, it
issaid, will bo answered by a showing
Chat all tlio Republics of North and
South America uccept it as tlio law
governing litem. .
Tho project of nnothcr conference of
American republics in lino with tho
Pan-Amorlcnn conference, but with a
view to political alliance rather than
commercial reoinroclty, is being dis
cussed also. Tho suggestion is mado
with much directness in diplomatic
circles that the courso of the United
States assures to it the moral and phy
sical support of all tho Southern and
Central American republics. In the
aggregate this allied strength of tho
Western republics, with tho United
States as its head, would constitute a
new and formidable factor in interna
tional affairs. It is not suggested
among diplomatists that such an alli
ance will take the formal shape of a
treaty, but it is urged that the feeling
of union existing constitutes a com
pact quite as effective as a formal un
derstanding. HOT TALK BY INGALLS.
Says American Hate Kngland Most In
tensely for Various Itcmon.
Atchison, Kan., Dec. 2. "The
President's message is an adroit ap
peal to tho profoundest passion of tho
American pooplo," said ex-Senator
John J. Ingalls to a reporter. "Our
conception of the Monroe doctrine is
vague, and our love for Venezuola Is
platonic, but wo all hate England. It
is hereditary. It is so intense that it
obliterates party lines, effaces section
alism nnd mukes us homogenous. Wo
divide on protection, on silver,
on the raco question, but In our
hatred of England wc are unan
imous. The sloppy diplomatic
twaddle about kindred blood,
nnd a common language, deceives no
body. We feel that England is our
only enemy among tho great powers
of the earth. It hns been bo from the
beginning of our history. At every
crisis in our affairs we havo encoun
tered tho secret or open hostility of
Englnnd, and tho tone of her press
has been always cynical, sneering and
contemptuous.
"Hut there will be no war. Like all
ruffians nnd bullies, England is a cow
ard and poltroon when it comes to a
showdown;she never lights her equuls;
slio kicks women and. children: sho
bullies Turkey, Egypt, Hindoostan.
South Sea Islanders and African tribes
and tyrannizes over tho weak and
feeble, but when Grant notified her
that sho must pay for the depredations
hor plrnteB committed on our com
merce in tho rebellion, or take tho con
sequences, sho accepted the Geneva
award, and sent her check for 816,
506,000 in full settlement of our claim."
GEN. MERRITT'S VIEWS.
Would Tako the Initiative and Invade
Canada at Once.
Chicago, Dec. 21. In the event of a
war with Great Iiritain, Chicago and
the lakes will bo safe," said Major
General Wesley Merrltt, commanding
tho department of the Missouri. "My
impression is,"hesu!d. "that we would
make the war an aggressive one. We
would, I should hope and judge, take
the initiative, and invade Canada at
once and make that country tho great
seat of war. Tho immediate seizure of
tho Welland canal, to hold It or de
stroy it, would solve at once the prob
lem of the lake ports. There Is noth
ing to fear from Canada. No invasion
of our country could bo undertaken
there. We could overwhelm tho coun
try with a force numbering ten to ono
anything tlioy could collect or muster,
and then not leave our acacoust un
protected and unprovided with men to
defeud every port."

GLADSTONE'S OPINION.
The Vcnomblo British Ntatesmnn Declares
Only Common Sense Needed.
New Youk, Deo 23. A local paper
cabled to .Mr. Gladstone for an expres
sion of opinion ns to the best method
of assuring peace between Greal Brit
ain and the United States and the suc
cessful adjustment of the Venezuelan
dllltculty. The following reply is pub
lished: "Hawabden, Dec. 20, 1603. Solo
possible reply: Dare not Interfere.
Only common tense required. Gladstone."
VEST EXPECTS NOTHING.
The Missouri Senator UellCTCS That the
H-nntt Wilt Not Aid the President.
.Wasihxoton Dec. 23. Senator Vvst
of Missouri, said concerning the Pres
ident's financial message: "It would
bo iraposoiblo to pass in tlioSnnateany
such financial legislation as tho Pics
dent wants; and there would be no
sense in pushing through a measure
which we know he will not accept. Of
courso I do not know what the House
might be willing to do; It Is 11 new
body, nnd its sciP'mont on the money
question has not yet been definitely
shown. But the sentiment of the Sen
ate in this regard was clearly reflected
in tho voto to refer the resolution in
troduced bv Senator Allen, of Nhra.
ka, directing the finance committee to
inquire untl report whether or not,
under existing conditions, it would be
wise to open the mints for the free
and unlimited coinnge of silver at a
ratio of 10 to 1. It stood 3fi to 24.
That, 1 think, is indicative of the op
position to tho financial views hold by
the president, nnd shovvs tho hopeless
ness of nny such legislation as would
meet with ids approval."
"Do you believe tho present cri
sis calls foe immediate financial legis
lation of some kind to restore confi
dence?" "The President has frequently said
that when the cold reserve got below
S'5,0()0,OOJ tho danger line was
reached. It is now down to 870,000,
000, and his messago is therefore con
sistent with his previously expressed
views. But I cannot seo how we are
to get legislation with such antagonis
tic ideas as cxisL We bcllovo in the
rcmonotizntion of silver; tho Presi
dent thinks that would be putting out
false money."
"Has not tho tumbling of stocks
created a crisis in -which something
ought to bedonc? Do you not think
the President looks on It in that way?"
"Very probably ho does. The presi
dent is u New York man, and such
things may agitato him. But West
ern men, for tho most part, look on
those transactions ns mere gambling,
and the news gives them no more con
cern than If they heard that some faro
banks had bceil broken." v
PRINCE OF LIARS.
ilnrry Iluyward's "Confession" TUsua
of I.les I'rom IleKlnnlne; to Kim!.
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. S3. The
impression is growing that Harry liny-,
ward, the prince of liars in life, left
his masterpiece of falsehood to follow
after his death, In tho ante-mortem
statement. Not only nro there many
internal evidences that he told many
scusatlonal tales simply from a desire
to poso as a great criminal, aud to
give liis "cousin Goodsell" a' good
thing, but it transpires that Harry, to
ut least three porsons, characterized tho
stntcment as a pack of lies. W. W.
nuywnrd, his father, publishes a
statement, in which ho declares that
Harry told his parents boforo ,1 lie
confession that they need not worry
about what ho said; it was to bo
a tissuo of lies constructed to meet the
demand for sensation. Ho assured
them that he hud told them, and tticui
alone, the whole truth. After making
the statement, ho told his nttortiey,
John Day Smith, that .ho had taken
certain well known facts and woven
around them plenty of lies. "Tho
public wunts lies," said lie, "and I,
will give them lies " To tho special
ists who examined his skull und brain
at tho autopsy, und pronounced him, a
degenerate, tho statement is prin
cipally interesting from a .psycho
logical point of view, as lending,
weight nnd evidence to their theory
Tho demand for the confession in
pamphlet form is phenomenal, and
the first edition of 26.000 bas already
been exhausted.
