LONDON , Nov II ( New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram ) The Englmu
press , and I think the English public gen
erally , has very speedily lost all Interest In
the presidential election In the United States ,
except that , free silver being defeated , a
fear of Mc-Klnleylum swallows up all the
pleasures over the monetary victory. A pe
culiar b-it , perhaps , significant fact , how
ever , IB that the Times yesterday and today
jp ho * thrown open Its crowded columns to long
< communications upon the International bi
metallic agreement question. The financial
nnd other weeklies continue today th-lr
warnings of before the election against In
vestment In American securities , except that
Kdltor Lloyd cables to the Statist , after
giving his observations on the result of the
. election :
% "Tho general feeling Is that the tariff bill
will be moderate , taking all factors Into con-
Bldetntlon nnd remembering that much has
yet to bo nettled. I nevertheless believe that
n alow but sir dy _ Improvement will occur
Hence Judicious investments are likely to be
advantageous , but careful Investigation Is
necessary. "
The stock market demand for American
BccurltlcH this week proved a mere Hurry ,
nnd obviously was the work of speculators
alone The general public seems to have
failed utterly to respond.
The Venezuela settlement also receives
scant editorial reference In the press , but
there Is giatlficd comment In political and
ether circles of note. The foreign press ,
particularly the German section , seems to
look on It with decided disfavor. The Co
logne Gazette , perhaps the leading paper In
the German empire , and a scml-olllclal or
gan of the government , said In a long article
yesterday
GERMANY WILL NEVER SUBMIT.
"To us Germans It may be Indifferent If
England , In a moment ot weakness , to a
certain extent gives away her position.
Nevertheless , In the United States public
opinion will In future try to demand the
Intervention of the federal government
whenever u dispute arises between a Euro
pean power and a South American republic.
This concerns not only the territorial
powers , but every European Btnto which
may be obliged to enforce a claim for In
elcmnlty In the same way England acted
toward Nicaragua n year ago.
"Wo wish to take the first opportunity of
declaring that the precedent In question Is at
most an English , and lu no way a European
precedent , and that Genncny at least will
not or tolerate the Intervention of a foreign
Btato In the protection of her Interests In
South and Central America. We are con
vinced that thonc states of Central and
South America , which arc more firmly
founded than Venezuela will defend them
selves against any deduction that might be
Jrawn from the Anglo-Venezuelan precedent
placing them under the guardianship of the
United States today as proteges , tomorrow
as subordinates "
A more vital fact to the United States Is
the perfectly complacent attitude of the
Times aiU'other London papers today over
the cabled repaits of the pi aspects of the
United States acquiring Cuoa by purchase
or concession. As I have fiequcntly pointed
out In this coricspondeuce , all the signs
go to show that Great Britain , by its gov
ernment or public opinion , would bo grati
fied rather than otherwise by this result
Certainly there Is no truth in the reports
tint Spain would have any real or financial
support hero In nn effort to prevent It.
URUAN INDEMNITY PAID.
Information reached me today from a
diplomatic source that or.ly yesterdiy did
the Venezuelan gov eminent pay tbo In
demnity demanded In Lord Salisbury's ulti
matum for the tlruan Incident , the proxl-
mute cause of the diplomatic rupture be
tween Great Hi Haiti and Venezuela The
Indemnity , as cabled to the World exclu-
Blvely loi.g ago , was 15,000 ( $70,000) ) . A
draft for that amount was handed to Sir
Julian Pauncefote at Washington yesterday
on behalf of the Venezuelan minister. Pay
ment was thcicfoio several months over
due , but the British goveminent made It
nn absolute condition precedent to complet
ing the arrangements foi the ni nitration
proceedings. BALLARD SMITH.

LONDON , Nov. 14. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram ) As wild
and reckless speculation Is In progress In
certain great English enterprises , lately
latimlnt In the market as there was In
South African stocks last year The promoters -
motors all seem to be the men who made
quick and vast fortunes In pneumatic tire
stock last year They purchased the original
company nt 3.000,000 nnd put It on the mar
ket at 5,000,000. Ono bicycle company at
Birmingham was bought by the syndicate
( the great Ernest Terrnh Hooley is nt the
head of the syndicate ) at 185.000 , and
marketed it at 800,000 , nnd another at 11-
000 nnd marketed It nt 700,000. Then they
bought out the great Llpton Tea company
at a couple of millions sterling or so , and
"Boverll , " n meat Juice Invention , nt about
the same figure. Three or four-column
"trading notice" advertisement of the new
companies appear In nil the newspapers to
day. I have already Informed the World
of Mr. Hooley's enormous purchases of old
English country estates. Ho declares In an
Interview his belief that his English land
will advance In price. A government report
Jiut Issued notes that about 33,000 people
nro employed in bicycle manufacture In
llimlngham nnd Coventry alone , producing
about 750.000 cycles n year , valued at 12-
00,000. The capital of these companies
amounts to 17,000,000. The exports of Brit-
oh bicycles to the United States were once
quite large , but have fallen off to prnc-
Ically nothing , while the Import of Amer-
can wheels Is rapidly Increasing. Ono
icwspapcr notes today : "Many riders prefer
ho American bicycle for its lower price
mil lighter make. Jt Is said , moreover ,
hat arrangements are being made by these
\mcrlcan companies to place thousands of
chalnlcss machines on the English market In
he spring. "
MOTOR CYCLES GET A SHOW.
Ths motor cycle excursion to Brighton
today attracted only one or two private com
petitors , neirly all the machines being sani
ties from the manufactories , chlclly French.
This was the first day the English law per
mitted them to appear In the streets except
under practically prohibitiverestrictions. .
Now they can traverse every road virtually
nt the sweet will of their owners They must
not exceed , however , three- tons In weight
unladen and not bo used for drawing more
than ono vehicle , the whole affair not ex
ceeding four tons In weight In the absence
of a loid. The locomotive must ho so con
structed that no smoke or visible vapor shall
bo emitted from it , except from a temporary
or accidental cause. The act permits a max
imum speed of fourteen miles , but empowers
the local government bolrrd to prescribe a
slower rate. Twelve miles Is fixed as the
prctcnt limit nnd will only bo allowed to a
tehlclo weighing less than a ton and a
half. If the weight reaches that figure , but
U not more than two tons , the speed Is
limited to eight miles. Again , If the weight
exceeds two tons , the pace may not bo more
than five miles. Where a motor cycle of
whatever weight draws another vehicle the
speed is never to exceed six miles. Them
regulations In respect to speed are to have
effect for six months nnd afterwards untl
the local government board shall otherwise
direct.
Not only newspaper men , but the public
generally , will bo Interested In a case H
the courts this week brought by a recent
purchaser of a small interest in the London
Times property. The Times always has bcci
profoundly secretive concerning Its clrcula
tlon and Income. Its enemies nml the Irish
men at the Parncll Inquiry hate from tlnu
to time made determined efforts to obtali
Information on these points , and in view ol
the fact that some eighty odd persons have
mlnuto shares In the paper it Is surprising
that until the present moment no authentic
data have been procurable , but the trial of
this suit has been the accidental means o
giving a clear index of _ the amount ills
trlbutcd In dividends among the proprietors
of this famous newspaper
NET INCOME OF THE TIMES.
Mr Blrnlo Todd of Brighton was proceeded
against for misrepresenting the Income de
livable from a fractional share In the Times
which ho had sold to Rev Aurellan Adams
for 354 ( $1,170) ) . Mr. Toild's share was dc
scribed In court as one-fourteenth ot two
thirds ot one-ninth of two-sixteenths of tin
paper , or , reduced to n simple fraction , one
fifteen hundred and twelfth. He sold It to
the clergyman on the representation that 1
was worth 23 ( $125) ) per annum , whereas. Its
actual Income In 1834 was only 17 ( abou
$ SC ) . A slmplo calculation I hate made
based on thcs.0 figures , shows the tola
amounts distributed among the Times pro
prietors In dividends in that year 20,00t
( IU0.030) ) From similar data given for 1833
It seems that the amount distributed was
27,073 ( $139,800) ) , while In 1S02 the amoun
was 3C,2S8 ( $181,110) ) . Of course these figures
do not icprcsent the total net Incumv , as
probably a substantial percentage Is carrle-
rorwaid cacli year. But It Is certain tha
the total net Income Is less thin 40,00 (
( $200.000) ) a year. Before Its dlsastious deal
Ingb with Porgci Plgott and the era ot the
Painell commission the net Income of th
Times was commonly reported to be 00,00
( $300,000) ) a year , but competition of late
years has grown Keener , whereas the ex
pendlturcu , previously liberal , have substan
tlally Increased.
Some time ago I cabled to the World 01
the authority ot the London newspapers tha
Coincllus Hen went Immediately to tin

of enormous territories as being "necessary
In order to forestall her rivals , who would
clc.se them to English commerce. " The le-
marks of the secretary cf state for war , the
marquis of Lansdowne , before a meeting of
consortotiteo at Bristol , hate also attracted
ut'cntlon. He dilated upon the necessity of
Increasing the expenditures for the army ,
which , he asserted , must be put upon the
same level of iniclenij as the navy. The
war secretory also expressed the hope that
nt the coming session of Parliament the hill
authorizing a loan of 5,000,000 (125.000.000) ( )
for military nieds would he pawed.

Asked regarding the character of the

large portion of the districts visited by mo

tainly never before traversed by a natu

lutely a waterless desert. Jlruc , there was
some kind of stuff with which to nssuige

In the pools left by rains , or by digging
beneath the parched river ] beds. But the

the consistency of pea sViup. Even the

HEHLIN. Nov. 14. The Reichstag met on
Tuesday after n recess of nearly four
months. The reassembling of the house
was a very quiet affair , the attendance was
thin , there was no enthusiasm and cten
the customary call for cheers for the em
peror was omitted by the president. The
Immediate work before the Reichstag Is of
a humdrum character , except the hill pro
viding for reform In military procedure ,
which will cause xharp debates , as the rad
icals and socialists hate collected a mass
of evidence showing that the projected re
form Is only a half-hearted measure and
aught to bo more thorough and liberal.
The bills to Increase the navy and for re
arming the artillery may bo lead to lively

Emperor William's order to arm nil the
modern vessels of the German navy with
( Ifteen , tvvcnty-ono and , twenty-four-centl-
meter Krupp quick-firing guns has given
immense satisfaction to naval men. Theuo
guns are said by experts to place the Ger
man ships ahead In fighting power of those
of any foreign navy. In fact , they
aio declared to bo six times more
powerful than other tcssels of the
same size. Orders amounting to
many millions of marks have been
placed with Herr Krupp , who hopes soon
to be able to apply his latest Inventions
to the twenty-elght-ccntlmeter guns. Vor the

MORE YACHTING SCANDAL.
Howard Gould's Niagara cane Is recalled
by the fact that at the last meeting of the
council of the yacht racing association the
owners of thrco crack craft In their rcspcc
live clascci , were called upon to explain
alterations in the trim of their boats when
racing. There were the twenty-rater
Saphlrc owned by Colonel Arthur , Paget and
Ogdcn Goelct , Bodagh , a Clyde five-rater
and T. Eve. In the last caho the owner
himself icportcd the discovery of altera
tions , but In tbo other two Instances the
discovery was made In ccnscqucncc of a
repoit from competitors. In each ease the
owncro were exonerated from guilty knowl
edge of alteration , but the prizes won by
these boats while their trim was wiong
were awarded to the second boats.
That this alteration of trim while rac
ing U not an uncommon thing among the
English Is vouched for by the Yachtsmen
this tvcck , which declarer "Complaints have
been rife about the Solent during the pant
neaton. respecting the laxity of owners
In al'\a > H keeping their > acht In the same
trim as t.hen measured Ono owner. In
deed , pointed out to us quite recently how
easily ho could Immerse his boat below
her marks on a breezy day , and lighten
his ship for fair weather without any fear
of trouble , and assured UH sucli conduct
obtained extensively on the1 Solent during
the past season. Cases which the council
have adjudicated upon are , wo fear , only
Isolated Instances of such breach of faith ,
but will serve as a warning to all owners
who leave this Important duty of attending
to their tercels' trim entirely In the hands
of their sailing masters"
