London and French Press Com-

LONDON, Oct. 22.-—In view of the many
reports in circulation regarding the atti-
tude of Great Britain toward Venezuela,
the following ”official announcement was
made today:
In consequence of Venezuela not offer-
ing an apology or reparation for the Yur-
nan incident the Marquis of Salisbury has
taken steps to inform her as to what repa-
ration Great Britain requires, but as re-
lations between the two countries have ‘
been broken ed for some years the com-
munication was not sent through the di-
rect diplomatic channel. As the document
has not reached its destination it is not
considered desirable to give details of its

terms and points out that Great Britain
will not permit Venezuela. to overstep the
boundaries marked by the courses of the
rivers 'Cuyune and Amacura, but is will-
ing that the question of the other disputed
territory should ‘be submitted to arbitra-
tion.
The dispute which, according to the
St. James Gazette’s statement, resulted
in the sending of an ultimatum by Lord
Salisbury to the president of the South
American republic, is attracting more at
tention every day. The afternoon news—
papers follow the morning newspapers in
commenting upon the affair today.
London Press Comment.
, The Westminster Gazette remarks:
“After a. tremendous fuss, the Nicaragua
incident turned out to be a ridiculously
small beenafiair, and in a. short time we
shall have made the same discovery in the
Venezuela matter. Great Britain and the
United States are not going to be set by
the cars by a pack of Venezuelans. Presi-
dent Cleveland knows we have no inten-
tion of land grabbing in South America,
and that Monroeism has no better friend
than the old country, and our colonial
minister, who married an American, has
given tokens of his friendship to the Unit
ed States and its people, and he is not
likely to go out of his way to get the Mar-
quis of Salisbury to tread on Cousin Jona-
than’s corns. In due time Secretary Olney
will no doubt tell the Venezuelans that
they cannot expect the United States to
espouse a quarrel when they deliberately
presume on their limited resources to at«
tempt to bluff a great power. We are glad
that the New‘York Evening Post, which
has done such excellent service in promot-
ing a better understanding between the
United States and Great Britain, will un-
hesitatingly tell its countrymen the truth
in this Venezuelan business, and also on-
lighten the blatherskite politicians and
newspapers who are seeking to foment
trouble between two great branches of the
English speaking world.” .
The Pall Mall Gazette says: “The Mar-
quis of Salisbury will find it convenient
to keep a lithographed supply of a special
form of ultimatum for South American
republicans. They are perpetually making
trouble, and the mongrel Spanish punc-
tilio will not yield to anything short of a
threatened blq'kade. There is no doubt
that the republic has grabbed a. big chunk
beyond the Schomburgk line. We have no
wish to bully Venezuela, but we say ‘ofi
hands’ all the same.”
The Nicaraguan Specter.
The St. James Gazette says: “The
United States government isnot blather-
skite. If Venezuela has that impression,
she will do"well to remember the outcome
betWeen England and Nicaragua. Be-
tween a government’s acts and what the
more foolish kind of person professing to
represent American opinion says there is
usually as much difference as between
sense and nonsense. Unless President
Cleveland is prepared to overthrow the
traditions of his foreign policy and begin
I course of courting complications we may
be sure that Venezuela will not receive
more backing than Nicaragua. And there
is no reason why she should, seeing that
no case exists for arbitration. Our fron-
tier in Guiana was laid down long ago,
and it would be absurd to ask that it
should be questioned because the cupidity
of the Venezuelans has been excited by the
wealth of gold on our side. The action
of the United States government in pre-
senting a'request for arbitration is friend-
ly to Venezuela. and not unfriendly to us.
But an attempt to enforce it would be an
act of the most unprovoked hostility. It
would be sheer folly and ignorance to
drag Monroe doctrines into the dispute. .
If some Americans imagine that Monroe-
lsm implies the general claim of the Unit-
ed States to dictate as to the relations of
the European powers with the' Spanish-
Amerlcan republics, that is no business of
ours. ~ . '
n.‘y~~.,— - s
M'
Mannie Doctrine Construed.
“Such a claim, to be serious, must go
the whole length of a protectorate, and
that, it is needless to observe, would be
furiously resisted by the Spanish-Ameri-
cans themselves, and it would of course
saddle the United States with the respon-
sibility of keeping them in order. It is‘ab-
surd to suppose that the United States
would accept such a burden, and it is to
be hoped that the United States govarn-
ment does not in tend to send a squadron
to Venezuela, as the presence of a hostile
force keeping an eye on our possible mis-
deeds would certainly tend to produce
strained relations. If the United States
must send ships to that coast, they might
findamore rational occupation. It has
serious grievances of its own against Ven~
ezuela, and it would better become the
position of the United States, as a. great
civilized power, to join us in bringing the
Spanishslndian barbarians to order. Sc
long as they think the United States will
shield them they will show all the usual
insolence of the weak who trade upon the
tolerance of the strong. The Americans
suffer in this as severely as the British,
and a good lesson given to Venezuela
would be equally profitable to both of us.
Moreover, the co-operation of the United
States would be humane, since it would
lend to make the lesson bloodless, by con-
vincing Venezuela of the folly of resists
tnce.”
The report concerning the ultimatum
was a complete surprise to the Venezuelan
nflicials in London. Acting Consul Burch,
Iepresenting Venezuela, in an interview
raid that~ the statement that the ultima-
tum had been sent through Senor E. Red-
riguez, the former consul general hcré
for Venezuela, was absurd. Senor Bod-
riguez was at present at Caracas, where
he went a year ago, at the expiration of
his term of office. Mr. Burch added:
“The crisis was so unexpected that my
uncle, Mr. N. Geach Burch, the vice con-
sul and acting consul general for Venezu-
ela, left London a fortnight ago on a three
, months’ pleasure trip to South Africa.
Neither of us has had any communica-
tion with the Marquis of Salisbury, or
any other member of the government,
which would lead to the belief that an
ultimatum was to be presented to Vene.
zuela. The dispute between the republic
and Great Britain is of 50 years’ standing
and comes up periodically, but we had not
the least idea there was anything critical
lll it. We received notes from the late
government on the subject, which were
duly forwarded to President Crespo, but
we have not received anything from the
Marquis of Salisbury. Diplomatic re-
lations between Venezuela and Great
Britain have been broken since 1888, and
from that time England has not hada
representative at Caracas, but if an ulti-
matum has'been sent it might have gone
through Consul Boulton, at CaraCas, or
the German minister there. In any. case,
We have not heard anything of it.”
England’s “Ultimatum Habit."
PARIS, Oct. 22.-—The Figaro today,
commenting on the Venezuelan situation,
remarks, “The ultimatum habit which
Great Britain is acquiring may be preju-
dicial to the cause of general peace.”
Senator Davis’ Views.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 22.-—In an interview on
the Venezuela matter Senator C. K.
Davis, for a long time chairman of the
senate committee on foreign affairs, said:
”Considering the present situation in
Venezuela and the action of the British
government on the seizure of Corinto, I
say most confidently that the United
States ought to intervene in this business,
or formally and by proclamation abandon
the Monroe doctrine as a scarecrow which
will no longer frighten.
“I do not apprehend any war with Eng-
land arising out of existing conditions or
out of anything which we can foresee.
She is a prudent nation, with all her pow-
er. She has given in the Dominion of
Canada a hostage of peace to the United
States far outvaluing the most that she
can hope to obtain or inflict by war. I
think that firm rem‘onstrancc, an attitude
so unyielding it will demonstrate the cer-
tainty of warlike action as the last ex-
tremity, will repress aggression, assert
our dignity. secure our safety and vindi-
cate our principles. ’ ’.

A Startling Story of an Attempted Assault
and Murder In, New York—The Vio-
tim Is Expected to Recover.
.Two Men Under Arrest.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—The police are
trying to determine whether Teresa Toh-
korny attempted to commit suicide at her
home, '408 East Seventy-fifth street, by
taking paris green, or whether, as she
claims, two men attempted to criminally
assault her, and, failing in their purpose,
forced her to swallow the poison.
Detectives Curran and Grows, who have
been working on the case, say that the re.
markable story told by the woman is in
every way correct.
So confident arethey that they arraigned
the two men referred to before Magistrate
Brann, in Yorkville police court today.
They were remanded in $2, 500 bail each
for examination Wednesday afternoon.
Miss Tohkorny is now in the Presby-
terian hospital. She is in a dazed condi-
tion, but the physicians say she will be
. out again in a few days. By means of the
usual remedies they relieved her of most
of the poison. _
Teresa Tohkorny is an. unmarried
woman, although until the story of the
alleged outrageous assault she was regard-
ed as the wife of a shoemaker named
Grosse. Two weeks ago Grosse rented the
basement of the Seventy-fifth street house
from the owner, Mr. Weiss. He said then
that his family consisted of himself, wife
and child.
Shortly after noon yesterday Theodore
Kreiger of 285 East Seventy-seventh street
and Gustav Schreiber of 534 East Eighty-
third, both of whom are married, called
at the Grosse fiat. Both were well known
there, and were welcomed, particularly as
they brought along a few flasks of whisky
and several bottles of beer.
A Remarkable Statement. \
No unusual noise was heard in the house
until shortly before 4 o’clock in the after-
noon, when Grosse’s voice was heard call-
.lng loudly for help. The housekeeper
joined in the cry, and Mr. Weiss, a tenant,
ran down with a. club.
He was told that Kreiger and Schreiher
had tried to assault Miss Tohkorny. The
landlord ordered both men out of the
place and they went.
_Nearly an hour later Mr. Weiss hoard
moaning and crying in the shoemaker’s
flat. He went down to ascertain the cause
and found Grosse and the woman crying.
Miss Tohkorny said that both the. men
had made improper proposals to her and
dragged her into the bedroom. There
they tried to assault her, and when she
resisted made her swallow the poison.
She showed a long cut on her thumb.
where she said one of the men had stab-
bed her. A quantity of, the poison was
scattered about the floor.
Grosse corroborated all the woman had
said. He was afraid to interfere, he said,
as the men were almost twice as big as he.
When the landlord heard the story, he
told the police. with the result that the
ambulance was summoned.
Detectives Curran and Crewe then set
to work on the case.
In court Kreiger admitted that he was
in Grosse’s apart-ments with Schreiber, and
that they had been drinking. He said he
saw Schreibor and Miss Tohkorny go into
the bedroom and close the door, but he
did not go in. .
Schreiber denied all knowledge of any
assault. He first denied having been
there at all, and then said he had been
invited into the flat by Grosse. He denied
giving the womanthe poison.
A Farmer Kills Intruders.
PITTSBURG, Oct. 22.——Two young farm-
ers, Albert Cable and James Brett, had a
grudge against a. son of P. Kingsland, a
wealthy farmer of Bolivar. The young
men went to Kingsland’s house. Only the
old man and his son’s wife were at home.
Cable and Brett insulted the woman, and
because they did not leave when ordered
to do so by Kingsland the latter killed
them both with a shotgun.
\V. E. D. Stokes Fined.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—-Judge Barrett in
the supreme court today fined W. E. D.
Stokes $100 for nonattendance for jury
duty on Oct. 7. Stokes sent down a letter
through some other person saying that he
had met with an injury, but letters are
not considered as excuses for jury duty,
as the law contemplates a personal appear-
ance. .
