WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. ( Spfrclal Tfle-
Rram. ) Senator Allen , although considerably
surprised today In the calling up of his reso
lution relative to the Monroe doctrine , could
not resist the temptation afforded to make a
little presidential medicine himself. Ho nas
forceful In his condemnation of American
girls marrying titled foreign mendicants , and
gradually got drawn Into a discussion with
Senator Cullom over the defenseless condi
tion of the Interior of the country , Cullom
having talked of the defenseless condition of
the coast the day before.
"I wanted the people to know , " said Sena
tor Allen , "that the Interior needs protection
ni well as the coast , and that if there was
any strengthening , I wanted the Interior to
have a share. It may have been a popullstlc
talk , but ' It Is the gospel truth Just the
same. "
It Is tills kind of talk , according to poli
ticians here , that Is attracting the attention
of populists to Senator Allen as presidential
timber , and the further determination of the
populists In the senate to nominate a full set of
. ofllcera goes far toward showing Allen's hand
In manipulating affairs to keep republicans
from organizing the senate.
Congressman Melklejohn will tomorrow In
troduce a bill In the house which gives prom
ise of bringing to Washington n loaded lobby ,
with the "big four" backing the charge on
the members. It Is Melklejohn's determina
tion to enact nn anti-pooling steamship
storage hill to prevent discrimination In the
shipment and transportation of live stock on
veraols to foreign countries. This bill Is the
outcome of a bitter complaint from western
live stock j'hlppers , who assert that live stock
storage rooms on vessels are closed to ship
pers unless contracted for In advance.
Congressman Perkins of Iowa will Intro
duce u bill tomorrow refunding $850 to the

WASHINGTON , Dec. 11. The Venezuelan
legation has not received confirmation of the
report of the appointment of a nsw cabinet
ty President Crespo , although such appoint
ments have been expected for weeks. Rojas ,
who Is reported to bo th new minister of
foreign affairs , preceded Dr. Pulldo , the retir
ing minister , and wrote the decisive letter to
Great Britain refusing to apologize fo'r the
Uruan Incident. His letter , heretofore pub
lished , took the ground that the Uruan ma >
ter is not question of personal outrage to
Police Inspector Barnes , as claimed by Great
Britain , but Involves the entire question of
territorial rights between Venezuela and Great
Britain. Ho urged that arbitration of the
right of possession of the Uruan district was
a necessary preliminary to determining
whether the British pollco Inspector was
rightfully or wrongfully there. This letter
wau written a year ago , when Great Britain
made her first protest. Afterward Rojas
gave way to Dr. Pulldo , a conservative diplo
matist of mature years. Rojas Is a liberal , so
that his return lo power Is hardly consistent
with the reports from Caracas that President
Crespo Is Inclined to pay the Indemnity the
British claim for the Union incident.
There Is a disposition here to question the
accuracy of the statement printed In London-
to the effect that Venezuela regards the mat
ter of the answer of the British claim for the.
arrest of the chief of police by the Venezuelan
officials at Uruan as entirely separate from
the boundary dispute with Great Britain ,
slnco It rests on the right of Jurisdiction over
the territory where the arrest was made. No
representations have yet bee-n made to our
government on the subject by any of the
parties , which is probably accounted for by
the fact that up to yesterday President
Crespo had not received the demand of Eng
land for the Indemnity.
I'"orelKii ' MiitterN Laid Over.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. Tlfc senate com
mitted on foreign relations decided today

W \S1IINGTON , Dsc. 11. By appointment
Secretary Herbert today heard arguments be
hind closed doors from the persons who bid
for the construction of the two battleships ,
touching the merits of their respective prop
ositions. There were present Henry Scott
of the Union Iron works of San Francisco ,
Messrs. Charles and Henry Cramp and Mr ,
Nixon or the Cramps Ship Building company
of Philadelphia , and Mr. Orcutt , president
of the Newport News Dry Dock and Ship
Building company of Virginia , with his con
structing engineer , Mr. Smith ,
The secretary had called together
to hear the statements the full
Board of Naval Bureau Chiefs ,
Commodore Matthew * of the Bureau
of Yards and Docks , Chief Constructor Hlch-
born , Chief Sampson of the Ordnance bureau ,
Englncer-ln-Chlef Melvlllo and Chief Chad-
vilck of the equipment bureau. Naval Con
structor Taylor and Chief Engineer Perry
were also present to supply the technical
Information.
The problem presented to the secretary
and the Board of Bureau Chiefs was a
difficult one. The Newport News company
was the lowtst bidder under the plans for
building the ships prepared by the Navy
department , but the Cramps and the Union
Iron works had submitted Individual plans
of more or less merit , the Cramps having
no less than seven proirosltlons , nnd the
Union Iron works tnlng favored by the ex
pression of the desire of congress to have
one ship built on the Pacific coast.
Messrs. Scott and Orcutt , speaking for
their respective firms , stutod that their bids ,
as submitted by them , fully st out their
case , and they had no remarks to make at
thin tlma unless called upon to explain fur
ther In detail any features. Therefore the
c-ntlro hearing was consumed by the Messrs.
Cramp , who , without In any way disparaging
the plans for the ships as prepared at the
Navy department , directed attention to .what
they regarded ns the strong features of their
own designs. They explained also that the
department wan at liberty to combine In any
fashion dDslrnble the propositions submitted
by their firm , of course having In view the
maintenance of the prices of the various
craft.
At the conclusion of the hearing Secretary
Herbert agreed to allow the Cramps three or
four day's * time In which to bring In some
further representations In the s.iino line.
When this Is all In his hands the secretary
and the board will proceed to pass upon the
various proposals and make the awards o
contracts.

meiitM Are Doctored.
WASHINGTON , ' Dec. ll. The Kansas con
gresslonal delegation had a meeting today to
discuss the Waller case , at which Paul Bray
the ox-consul's neph&w , related the history
of the trial. Bray asserts the stenographer's
report of the testimony given at the trla
was Incorrect. He says that If this govern
ment Is ever successful in securing the. re
port of the trial which has been asked for
his own testimony will bo found unsigned , as
he refused to sign It , because the report o
It was garbled. Bray speaks Frc-nch fluently
and ho declares the official Interpreter of the
trial willfully misinterpreted parts of the tes
tlmony. An unsuccessful effort has been made
by members of the Kansas delegation to sc
cure for Bray a position under the govern
ment , as the Waller family Is without means
of support. _
XO COMMITTEES THIS WEEK
'Speaker Heed Hun Not Vet Mudc Ui
the I.lxt.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 11. There seems to
be no possibility now that the committees
of the house will be announced this week
and the house may adjourn tomorrow until
Monday. Speaker Reed has experienced more
difficulty than was anticipated In making
up the membership of the committees , owing
to his lack of personal acquaintance with the
new members , of whew there are 1G3.
From a source close to the speaker the In
formation Is given out today that the com
mittees will probably not be announced until
the latter part of next week , Just before the
Christmas holiday recess.
Captain Heiily Will He Tried.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 11. Captain Shoe
maker of tho. revenue cutter servjce- has re
ceived full and specific charges signed by
three officers of the Bering sea patrol fleet ,
against Captain Healy of the- cutter "Bear. "
General charges were sent forward some time
ago to which Captain Healy made a general
denial. A trial board to consist of three or
five officers of equal rank with Captain Healy
will bo convened In San Francisco early In
January , at which time a. largo number of
men and officers will testify. Lieutenant
White , who was one of the signers of the
original charges , now being out of the serv
ice , will not appear at the trial. It Is prob-
abb that only two officers now on the * Pa
cific coast will bo designated as members of
the board , as many of them will be called as
witnesses. The o'.ber members will be sent
from the cast.

1'rcnent Crnre for
Till CM.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. Mr. Mitchell ,
democrat of Wisconsin , Introduced a Joint
resolution today ( or the purchase of a statue
of Victor Hugo for the Congressional library.
On motion of Mr. Harris , democrat of
Tennessee , a resolution was passed calling
upon the secretary of war for copies of all
papers relating to the railroads seized and
operated by the government from 1861 to 1863
In order to furnish Information for on ad
justment of the government claims against
Tonnessae.
Mr. Dubols , republican , of Idaho , then
called up his amendment to the senate rulw
for the distribution of the various approplla-
tlon bills to the committees especially Inter
ested In the subject dealt with.
In supporting his resolution , Mr , Dubols
maintained that the work of framing tlio ap
propriation bills could be more Intelligently
done by the several committees having es
pecial charge of legislation for each depart
ment of the government and that the great
burden put on the appropriation committees
always resulted In crowding the bills at the
end of each session. The house , long ago ,
had recognized the necessity of distributing
the appropriation bills , and he thought the
senate must follow suit. Speaking for the
younger members" he Insisted that the great
power niul responsibility these bills gave the
appropriation committees should be divided.
Mr. Sherman of Ohio said ho agreed to
some extent with the views of Mr. Dubols ,
and also complained of the crowding of the
appropriation bills at the end of the ses
sions , and thought much faulty legislation
was passed on appropriation bills. No action
was had on the resolution , which was al
lowed to Ho on the table.
Nothing being before the senate , the clcrjc
called the first order on the calendar , which
was the resolution of Mr. Allen of Nebraska
to recognize the Cuban revolutionists as
belligerents. Allen said he supposed his reao-
lutlon would be referred to the committee
on foreign relation ? , and Informed the senate
that the populist party , which was sneered
at as a party of democratic grievances , stood
shoulder to shoulder with the republican
and democratic parties for the maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine. Allen commended
some of the remarks of Mr. Cullom yester
day , and then proceeded to condemn the
alliance of the money power with that of
England In connection with our diligence In
preventing the aggressions of the British
on this hemisphere. With this Idea as a
text he referred contemptuously to the re
port that Theodore Havemeyer , "tho retiring
Austrian consul general at New York , " waste
to be made a baron as an evidence that that
gentleman was ashamed of the country of his
birth. He also referred to the American
women , "who were marrying titled European
mendicants. "
Mr. Call of Florida gave notice that to
morrow ho would call up his Armenian reso
lution , and Mr. Hill of New York Intro
duced amendments to the senate rules pro
viding for cloture and for counting a quorum.
A brief executive session was then held
and the senate adjourned.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 11. Some time ago
Secretary Morton issued an order requiring
that all beef ordered for export should be ac
companied by a certificate of an Inspector ol
the Agricultural department , showing that
the cattle from which it was produced were
free from disease. In order that it might
ha determined whether such beef has been
Inspected and found free from disease and
wholesome , meat of all rthor species of ani
mals , packed In barrels , cases or other pack
ages , the order required should be legibly
marked so as to clearly Indicate the species
of animals from which produced. As numer
ous petitions have boon received from reliable
exporters of beef , alleging that great dam
age to the export beef trade must follow the
enforcement of this order on January 1 , 1896 ,
the secretary has directed that the order
shall not bo enforced until March 1 , 1S96.

NEW YORK , Dec. 11. The sharp fall In
silver to 29 15-16 pence per ounce In London is
jslloved to be due to the fact that the Chinese
ndcmnlty to Japan , which , so far na paid
and deposited In the Rank of England , has
been turned over to the Japanese govein-
nent. which , Instead of expending It in the
mrchass of silver for useIn Japan , as ex-
lected , Is now lending It In the London mar-
( ct. This Is construed to mean that the
money , which was paid In gold , will be ex
pended in Europe , probably on the purchase
of warships and material. This is naturally
very disappointing to the London speculators
in the w lilts metal who have accumulated
a very largo stock of it and has caused
hem to unload , with the remitting decrease
in price. At present also the market for
rupse paper Is as slow.

dends they had received. It had been shown

equity case , and that an action at law was tht

murrcr nnd dismissed the cas ? . Receiver
Hayden appealed and the decision of the Nc
braska federal court has been reverseJ. The

properly brought In equity. The decision o
the court of appeals , however , holds the stat
ute of limitations valid , and this will cu
down the amount sued for by Receiver Hay
den from $213,000 to $00,000. Hon. G. M
