mummy PEACE.

Probability of a. Settlement of the
Venezuelan Maddie.

BOTH SIDES OONOILIATORY.

The Good Oflices of the United States Asked
by England to Obtain the Release
of Harrison—A Possible Seri-
ous Contingency.

LONDON, June 26.—The latest advices
from Georgetown, British Guiana, are of
a more calming nature than those received
when the arrest Of Mr. Harrison, the
British crown surveyor, first became
known. Although no serious trouble is
anticipated, it is safe to say that the Brit-
ish government will not allow the incident
to pass without notice, and it is possible
that a remonstrance of a most emphatic
nature will be made to the government of
Venezuela.

LA high authority upon the Venezuelan
qfiestloh, in an interview upon the situa-
tion, expressed the Opinion that it was
likely to bring matters to a climax. But
the gentleman referred to qualified this re-
mark with the statement that, in spite of
the serious aspect which the dispute had
once more assumed, it was not. likely that
offensive measures partaking of the nature
of a war would be necessary, as it was the
opinion of those best qualified to judge
the affair here that the arrest of the crown
surveyor was not the direct act of the gov-
ernment of Venezuela, but was due to the
hasty and probably irresponsible action of
some local agents who had acted under a
misapprehension, and that when proper
representations are made to the govern-
ment at Caracas the latter will apologize.

A Possible Show of Force.

However, the high authority referred to
added, if a contingency should arise which
would call for such measures, in all likeli-
hood a small military and naval expedi-
tion will be sent to La Guayra, the port of
Caracas, and from there to Caracas, the
capital of Venezuela, which is about ten
miles distant from La Guayra. The troops
and ships to take part in this expedition,
should it turn out to be absolutely neces-
sary, will, it appears, be drawn from the
British garrisons at Jamaica, Barbados
and St. Lucia, as it would be most diffi-
cult to send troops from Georgetown to
the ruan district owing to the difficul-

. ties of the route and the long distance
which such an expedition would necessa-
rily be from its base of supplies, although a
military force will in all probability be
promptly sent to the Acarabisci in order
to protect the government surveyors and
roadmakers who have been interfered with

_ in their work by the Venezuelans. '

This seems to be the situation at pres-
ent, although it is subject to modification
or to enlargement, according to circum-
stances. But nobody for a moment be-
lieves that any trouble of a serious nature
is likely to follow. In fact, the matter of
the arrest of the crown surveyor and the
apology or explanation to be requested
from Venezuela are not looked upon as
being as serious as the expulsion of Mr.
Hatch, the British consular agent, from
Nicaragua as a result of the disturbances
at Bluefields, and which eventually led to
the occupation of the port of Corinto by a
British force until the payment of an in-
demnity was guaranteed by the govern-
ment of Nicaragua.

The St. James Gazette this afternoon
says that in sending a military force to
protect the British surveying and road-
making parties near the Acarabisci the
government of British Guiana has done
what the situation plainly demanded, add-
ing: “The policy of nonresistance pursued
has not been successful in settling our dis-
putes with Venezuela. N o ' other great
power would for a moment have stood the
series of attacks of Venezuelan soldiers on
British Officials.” ‘

Trying to Settle It.

WASHINGTON, June 26.—Secretary Olney ‘

received calls today from Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British embassador, and
Minister Andrade. with both Of whom h
conferred separately concerning the arrest
by Venezuelan troops of the British crown
surveyor, Harrison, on the British-Vene-
zuelan boundary. It is understood that
Sir Julian, acting under instructions from
the British foreign office, requested the
friendly intervention of the United States
, toward securing the release of Harrison,
as was done by the British authorities in
behalf of the American, John Hays Ham-
mond, during the Transvaal uprising.
Mr. Andrade was first at the depart-
ment, so that at the time of his call the
British request had not then been submit-
ted. He was with Mr. Olney some time,
going over quite fully the circumstances of
the Harrison incident. The view of the
minister was that the affair had been mag.
nified, and that it was lacking in serious
wrong to the British. Both he and Secre-
tary Olney discussed the matter informal-
ly, however, as no official dispatches were
at hand either from the United States
minister at Caracas or from the govern:
ment to Mr. Andrade. This circumstance
was regarded as showing that the Caracas
authorities did not attach the importance
to the subject that it had assumed in Lon—
don. ,
Pauncefote’s Request.

Sir Julian’s call was made an hour after
Mr. Andrade had left. The exact nature
of the British request was not made pub-
lic, but its essential feature was a request
for friendly intervention by the United
States. Owing to the British-Venezuelan
trouble, the British have no minister or
consul in Venezuela, so that it is neces-
sary for an outside power to act for them
in any transaction with Venezuela. Ger-
many heretofore has acted in this capacity
for the British, but the interest and influ-
ence which the United States has with
Venezuela evidently inclined the British
to seek the good Offices of this country
rather than those of Germany.

It is believed that Secretary Olney al-
ready has taken steps to communicate
with the Venezuelan government through
the medium of the United States minister
at Caracas. Ordinarily the first step of
our secretary of state would be to seek to
ascertain for himself through our minister
the exact facts in the case, but in view of
the peculiar relations of the parties he
might depart so far from the ordinary
methods as to precede this in the present
instance with a request that Mr. Harrison
;be released and the status quo thus re-
stored, it being understood meantime that

“there shall be no advance on either side
;until the case can be settled soberiy on its
merits. , The interview between Secretary

"lOlney and Sir Julian lasted half an hour,
and on neither side was there any disposi-
Vftion to make public anything as to its na-

ure. There is reason to believe, however,
but a solut' n of the presentdifiiculty is

» xpected wit in two or threegdays.

THE ELECTIONS IN CANADA.

Opinions of the British Newspapers on the
Liberal Victory.

LONDON, June 26.——The Pall Mall Ga-
zette, commenting upon the result of.the
Canadian election, says, “.Since the death
of Sir John A. Macdonald the Conserva-
tive party in Canada has been losing its
grip upon the electors, but its present fall
is ascribable to the virulent animosity en-
gendered by a religious and educational
issue.” .

The Globe says: “If any Americans look
to Wilfred Laurier to betray his country,
they are doomed to disappointment.”

The St. James Gazette regrets the re-

sult and thinks that Sir Charles Tupper’s
pluck deserved a better fate. The paper
says: “The Liberals were perfectly loyal
to the imperial connection, yet they dallied
dangerously with reciprocity with the
United States. The Conservatives Were
the keenest for the establishment of a
commercial zollverein among the various
parts of the British empire. The Ameri—
cans are rapidly beating us out of the
Canadian markets, and Mr. Laurier and
his friends will not stop the process. The
project to unite Canada, Great Britain and
Australia by a line of fast subsidized
steamers is not likely to be pushed with
much vigor.”
I The Gazette believes that Laurier is an
able man and a sincere patriot, but thinks
that his tenure of office is not likely to
last long.

The Times says that the church in Can-
ada, as in other lands, has lately been los-
ing something "of its old power oyer the
laity and regrets that it has been the fate
Of Sir Charles Tupper to assume the Con-
servative leadership at a time when the
party was marching to its first overthrow
in 18 years, but it is glad to see a premier
of the French race, because it is a con-
spicuous token of the solidarity of the two
races composing the population of the Do-
minion. The paper pays a tribute to Hon.
Wilfred Laurier’s loyalty to Great Britain.

THAT SPANISH PROTOCOL

Senator Comas’ Motion to Revoke It De-
feated by a Vote of 88 to 44.

MADRID, June 26.—-—The senate, by a
vote of 88 to 44, has rejected the motion
made by Senator Comas last Monday, dur-
ing the discussion of the Competitor inci-
dent, providing for an amendment to the
royal address, demanding that the protocol
of 1877 with the United States be revoked
in view of the inequality Of the rights of
Spanish and American citizens under
present conditions. .

The reference is to a protocol signed on
Jan. 12, 1877, between Caleb Cushing,
minister of the United States, and Don
Fernando Calderon y Collantes, Spanish
minister of justice, and relating to the
trial of American citizens by Spanish
tribunals. In the chamber of deputies the
same year Senor Collantes gave his under-
standing of the treaty and protocol to be
that the guarantee of trial Of Americans by
the ordinary tribunals did not extend to
Americans “captured with arms in hand, ”
who, he maintained, might be tried by
“exceptional tribunals.” It was under
such an interpretation of the protocol that
the Americans captured in the Competitor
expedition last May were tried by court
martial and condemned to death. Secre-
tary Olney protested and demanded a civil
trial for the accused men, under both the
protocol of 1877 and the original treaty of
1795. It is doubtless the friction growing
out of these rival interpretations of the
protocol which has led to this efi'ort to de-
nounce it.

Benjamin 'H. Bristow’s Funeral.

NEW YORK, June 26.—-—The funeral of
Benjamin H. Bristow, ex-secretary of the

DEATH or LYMAN TRUMBIILL.

He Was Once Elected United States Sen
ator Over! Abraham Lincoln.

CHICAGO, June 26.-——Ex-Senator Lyman
Trumbull died today at his home, 4108
Lake avenue. He had been ill a long time,
but rallied at intervals, causing the hope
that he might eventually recover. His last
relapse, however, settled his fate in the
minds of his physicians, andthe end has
been expected daily for the past week.

Lyman Trumbull was born at Colches-
ter, New London county, Conn., on Oct.
12, 1813. His ancestors on both sides were
distinguished. His father was a son of the
Rev. Dr. Benjamin Trumbull, graduated
from Yale, and eminent in statesmanship
as well as theology and jurisprudence.
His mother, Elizabeth Mather, was a lin-

 

LYMAN TRUMBULL

eal descendant of the great author and di-
vine, Increase Mather, and of John Rog-

ers, the Christian martyr. He was edu-
cated at Bacon academy and taught a vil-
lage school when 16 at 810 a month. At
the age of 20 he went south, where he
taught in the academy at Green'ville, Ga.,
and studied law at the same time. He
was admitted to practice in 1837, and the
same year traveled on horseback to Illinois,
where he finally settled and began practic—
ing law at Bellville.

He was elected a member of the legisla-
ture from St. Clair county on the Demo-
cratic ticket in 1840 and served as secre-
tary of state as successor of Stephen A.
Douglas. In 1848 he was judge of the
first supreme court of the state organized
under the revised constitution.

He was elected United States senator in
1855, his opponents being Abraham Lin-
coln and General Shields. Six years later
he was re-elected and again in 1867.

He was a close and influential friend of
Lincoln during the war and fearlessly
championed the Union, the civil rights
and the thirteenth and fourteenth amend-
ments to the constitution. He was one of
the five Republican senators who voted
against the impeachment of Johnson. Ex:
Senator Trumbull rnccived a large vote as
conservative candidate for president at the
national convention in 1872, but was set
aside in favor of Horace Greeley. ..

He returned to the Democratic party
and was an unsuccessful candidate for
governor of Illinois in 1880. Since his re-
tirement from the senate Trumbull had
conducted a large law practice in Chicago,
besides being solicitor of the Illinois Cen-
tral railroad. ' V

1 MORE PILIBUBTERS.

Pei-ice Torres Gets a. Force Safely Away

KEY WEST, June 26.—Considerable ex-
citement Was caused among the customs
officers when it became known that an ex-
pedition had depart-ed with a party of 60
or 70 Cubans, known filibusters, under the
command of Perico Torres. ‘

Deputy Collector Knight immediately
dispatched the revenue cutter Winona in
pursuit of the fliibustering vessel. A. W.
Barrs of Jacksonville, one of the crew of
the steamship Three Friends on her visit
to Cuba, and who has been in this city for

rangements for the transfer of men and
ammunition to the Three Friends, now
supposed to be waiting off the coast Of
Florida. ' Marcos Rodriguez, lately im-
prisoned in Morrc castle, Havana, is re-
ported to be with the expedition.

having lived here several years. Private
advices in this city say that General Tra-
jillo has been safely landed in Cuba by the
