THAT COUNTRY ISOLATED AT PRESENT HtHto li > | itrlmniil OllldnU Docllne to Stiito nt I'rnciit Whether Tlioy Will Accept tlio O 111 co hut It U Likely They Will. WASHINGTON , May 22. The United States das been asked to act aa Intermediary In an International complication. This tlmo the trouble Is between Franco and Venezuela , re uniting In a complete termination of diplo matic relations between them , The French minister at Caracas recently was given hla jiaasportn , whereupon Franco acnt two war- uhlps to take away her minister and all the legation archives. At Hie same tlmo France liandcd to the Venezuelan minister at Paris Ills passports and ho summarily departed. The request for the mediation of the United Slates Is now made by the Venezuelan government through IU minister nt Washington , Senor AndraJe. He was Instructed by the Venezue lan minister of foreign affairs a short while ego to request the United States ambassador at Paris. Mr. Eustls , bo asked to act as Inter mediary In restoring friendly relations be tween HIP two countries. The United States legation at Caracas was also notlfleJ of the doslrc of the Venezuelan government and sent n recommendation to the State department that the ofllce of Intermediary be accepted. Department ofllclnls will not flfocitM the HUb- loct , nnd It cannot bo leanel who hr Instruc tions have been sent to Ambassador Eustls. Should till * ) country undertake the rcconcit latton It will makn two questions In which cur sfflclals are Intermediaries with European gov ernments In behalf of Venezuela. Ambaisa- dor Bayard Is already engaged In effecting a tolutlon of the British Venezuelan question. The trouble between Franco and Vcnc/.uela originated about four months ago. A number of Europeans residing at Caracas united In a confident:1 ! ! note to their respective govern ments In which they told of the lax condition of the government and the tendency of Vene zuelan ofllciali to avoid the settlement of Just claims The note was signed by the min isters of Franco , Germany , Spain and Bel- glum. Tlio Italian minister tlUI not sign It but sent It to his government for Information Dy mischance the "confidential" was omlttec from the note and Italy published It with the Rlgnatures of the four ministers In the Italian Green Book. Venezuela lluis wns publicly pit lorlcd She at once gave their passports to the French , Spanish and Belgian ministers" , but the German minister had left before this Indignity could bo offered to him. By thl step Venezuela was alinoit cut off from rela tlons with leading nations. Great Britain withdrew her minister some time ago becausi of the boundary trouble. It Is with a vlev of overcoming this Isolation that Venezuela nsks the kindly offices of the UnlteJ States. OAHNK < ; II ; OOMI-ANY CANNOT Government Will lUvn In root the Hill I llin lltrrny 1'ittniitn Are Vnlld , WASHINGTON , May 22. The nilnR of a suit In rittsburg yesterday by the Freud armor firm , of Schneider & Co. , against Hi Carnegfo Steel company to restrain the latte ; from making armor of nickel steel for tli United States government without paymen of royalty , on the ground of Infrlngemen of the patent held by the Schneider com pany , caused no surprise at tbe Navy de partment. Each ot the two great anne making companies In this country now ha on hand a suit for Infringement. Th Bethlehem Iron company has been sued by tlio owners of the Harvey patent's for harden Ing armor for royalties on account of th USD of their process In treating armor plates The Navy department has gone on record ( , most unusual proceeding ) , In declaring tlia the Schneider patent was not valid. Thl was done nt the time when the departmen made Its contract with the Carnegie compan In 1892 for armor plate. After a recital o the fart that certain parties claim to contra the right to make armor plate contalnln nickel , was this language : Whereas , the party of the second Pnr. ( the Navy department ) declines to recognize the claims of nld p-itentee nnd pay the royalty demanded ot them , snld royalty be ing 2 ccnta per pound upon finished armor plates uiul appurtenances , etc. Nevertheless , to guard the contractors against just such a suit as hns been brought , tlie contract provided that money cental to the royalty on each plato accepted by the government should be laid aside In a deposi tory , and In case a court ot competent juris diction should find the patent Invalid , the money should bo repaid Into the treasury. So , as It stands , the Carnegie company can not IOPO by this suit , If the suit Is decided In favor of the French company , and the suit Is therefore really against tbo United States government. The defense of the Carnegie company will bo based on two contentions : 1. Thnt the entire Schneider patent Is In valid , because a simple alloy cannot be pat ented under our laws , and because the par ticular properties of this nlloy had been made known to the world before the Issue of the patent by a publication In the pro ceedings of the Urltlah. Iron anil Steel In. Btltute of 1890 , In a paper prepared by Prof. Illlpy , nn eminent Ilrltlrh metal'u'Blst. This publication had attracted the attention of the Naval department before the nl > ke1 plate was submitted for the celebrated trial at Indian Head In 1S90. 2. That they do not make their nickel steel In the manner prescribed In the for mula of the Schneider patent. This con templates the admixture of metallic nickel with the molten steel before It Is worked Into Ingotx. The Carnegie company uses nickel oxide , a mineral. As to the pult brought by the Harvey patentees against the Ilcthlehcm company , It may bo stated that the United States govern ment Is not Involved. It has paid a lump sum for the right to uoe the Harvey process In making all of the armor plato that will be needed for the vessels In eight , and the efforts of tbo plaintiffs are directed to forcing the company to pay a royalty equal to $11 per ton on all of the armor U ha ? contracted to furnish the Russian government. la this case the defense cf the company will be along the same lines In seine respects as that of the Carnegie company In Its cult.

Tlio tit success which attended the effort made In the Presbyterian general assembly yesterday to turn tlown the directors of Union Theological seminary ho were proposed for re-election ns members of the Doard of Homo Missions had a damaging effect upon a similar move ment which was proposed today concerning three mora of these directors whoso names canio up for election to the foreign mission board. Dut the ghost ot Union seminary will not down. A now proposal was adopted requiring" the committee of conference with the theological seminaries to ascertain what steps aie necessary In order to regain pos session of some of the endowments now lieU y Union , which she has been declared to ave "stolen" from the denomination. It Is ntlclpated the committee has undertaken large contract. The scene enacted In the assembly this ornlng In which a collection was taken or the benefit of missionary candidates as quite as unusual as It was successful. . showed at least the practical benevolence f the ministers and elders. The prominence f gifts from "liberal men" and churches ore marked by some of the commissioners nil also the fact the largest subscription came from the east. The great success > f the meeting held last night In the In- erest of home missions caused the Inaugura- on of an overflow meeting tonight In the iecond church , at which several foreign missionaries spoke. Most of the day was ele cted to the special missionary and educa- "onal Interests of the church , accounts of hch ! are given In the following : KILLED COMMITTEE VACANCIES. Before taking up the subject of orelgn tnlsslolns the announcement was iiade that the moderator had ap olnted as the additional members of ho committee to confer with the the- loglcal semlnarlels , Dr. P. C. Montfort o : 'Inclnnatl. Heir. W. II. Hubbard of Auburn f. Y. : Governor .Is.ues A. Heaver of I'enn- ylvanlt , and Judge C. E. Vanderburg of Ilnneapolis , and to fill vacancies In the same lommlttee , Dr. George \V. K. Birch of New York , Judge Robert II. Hlnckley of Phila delphia , and Judge Thomas Ewlng of Pltts- urg. To the committee on conference will line seminary , Dr. John I. Blackburn of Covlngton , Ky. , was appointed to replace Dr , llrch of New York. In a brief interval before , the order of the day was taken up Judge Hlnckley who' was apolntcd this morning to the committee of conference with the semi naries , presented a resolution. He said .here was a strong feeling that Union sem- nary had done a wrong to the church In withdrawing Its property , which really be ongod to the church. Ills resolution em > odied a request to the committee to Inquire nto the rights ot the Presbyterian church n ths property of Union seminary , and to decide what steps should oe taken to enfore hose rights. The resolution was referred 0 the committee. Dr. George W. Chalfant of Plttsburg pre anted a report on the work of the board if foreign missions. Receipts amounted t ,1865,709. and there was a deficit of $212,991 From the women's boards $309.771 had been ecelved , and from the churches $2SG,302 The expenditures amounted to $937,802 , o which the expenses of administration amounted to a little over ? GO,000. The re ponslblllty for the existence of the board' debts was laid upon the churches which nave not contributed. He recommended that .he amount to be raised bo Increased by at cast 20 per cent over last year. It was also recommended that members of the tjoard be re-elected. Among those thus recom mended were William A. Dooth , father jot the moderator , E. M. Klng loy , treasurer of Union seminary , and Dr. John Dalcolm Shaw , 1 director In the same Institution. When ho names were read a demonstration similar o that of yesterday was expected by many , but It did not appear. The assembly was then addressed by Dr. John Glllesple , one of the secretaries of the board , in explana tion of the work and the debt of the board. MONEY FOR MISSION WORK. In the course of Dr. GUloaple's remarks mention was made of a Mr. William C. John son , a graduate of Western seminary , Al- leghany , who Is dealrous of entering the work of foreign missions. The appeal was taken up by a commissioner and soon an unusual scene was on. The moderator took the floor and called for subscriptions. Elder Ammldoron of Baltimore , Md. , started the ball by pledging $100 , and others followed rapidly till $1,500 had been raised. Smaller sums to the amount ot $558 were realized. Governor Beaver made an address , after which the resolutions of the report wore adopted without question or opposition. Vice Moderator Governor Beaver presided at the afternoon session of the assembly. The first order was the report of the coiimlttee on education , presented by Dr. Martin D. Kneeland of Boston. The usual complaint against noncontrlbutlng churches was made , coupled with a resolution that they all be urged to send In their collections , however small. The report recommended that thq amount of $150,000 bo raised for educational pui poses during next year , and the board was directed to report whether students might be required to spend a year In missionary work after graduation before entering upon a regular charge. This suggestion was car ried further by Dr. Whlto of Columbus , who proposed that a term ot service should be required ot all students aided by the board , so they should render an equivalent for the aid received. Dr. Edward B. Hedge , secre tary of the board , then addressed the as sembly In the interest of his work. The second order of the afternoon was the report on the work of the board of aid for colleges , which was presented by Prof. War ren H. Landon ot the San Francisco Theo logical seminary. The receipts of the board amounted to $119,627 , and the expenditures to $111.000. Aid to the extent ot $26,650 was given to college * and academies whose total valuation was over $1,000,000. Again com plaint was made of noncontrlbutlng churches. It was recommended that $150,000 be raised during the next year , and that the Sunday after the day of prayer for colleges b ? desig nated as education day In the Interests ot this board. The remainder of the time was occupied by Dr. E. C. Ray of Chicago , the secretary of the board , and by Rev. W. W. Farrls of Plttsburg.

He Is [ professor of church history In the Alleghany Theological seminary. He spoke on "The Church and Her Beloved. " Moat ot his dis course tended to show the growth ot thlr . denomination. During his remarks he said : "Romanism U vastly more dangerous now that In unctuous phrases It Is lauding liberty and proclaiming Its affection for the people of the United States than when It HghteO IU Urea and oiled its Instrument * ot torture. True , some reciters of mouldy stories , who by courtesy are called preachers ot the gos pel , take the Jesuit seriously and sing Rome's praise * lustily , reminding us Incidentally that they are broad-mlndd men and gifted with an uncommon amount of Christian charity , but for all that the Church of Rome Is com mitted to heresy and Indlssolubly chained tc the past.
