The United States Spoken of as an Unruly Schoolboy—France Supports the .. English Contention—Other Significant Opinions. LONDON, Dec. 20. -- The Manchester Guardian asserts that it has knowledge that the foreign Office will placidly pro- ceed without regard to President Cleve- land’s message, and that the demand for indemnity for the arrest of members ‘of the English colonial police will be steadily pressed upon Venezuela and if necessary enforced by the admiral"commanding the West Indian station. The territory extending to the Schcm- burgk line, The Guardian says, will also be held against Venezuela or any other powar, while the matter of possession of the territory beyond that line will be sub- mitted to arbitration if that can be agreed upon with Venezuela. Otherwise it, too, will be occupied in the course of time. The Pall Mall Gazette today assumes a patronizing tone. “ We are not infuriated, ” it‘says, “nor are we excited, but we are partly astonished, partly amused and also somewhat embarrassed, as when somebody else has committed a bad breach of deco‘ rum in public. We know it is not our fault, yet we feel awkward and are disposed to blush.” The Globe says: “Whether election con- tingencies lie behind the message of Presi- dent Cleveland or not it does not matter. A much more serious matter is the fact that the chief magistrate of the United States has distinctly pledged himself that if England refuses to abide by the award of a commission of arbitration he will re- sort to warlike measures to enforce obedi ence to his will.” Sallsbury’s Mistake. The Westminster Gazette, continuing discussion of the Venezuela controversy in the light of the connection of the United States therewith, says: “Lord Salisbury made a mistake in going beyond necessity in. the case and arguing against the merits of the Monroe doctrine as being obsolete. He ought to have confined himself to show- ing that it did not apply to the present case.” None of the papers tomorrow will fol- low the evening papers of today in discuss- ing the relative merits of the fleets and armies of England and the United States. The big dailies seem to have agreed to avoid this topic altogether. The St. James Gazette says: “The Americans would fight with all the fierce energy of the race for a principle or an idea and sacrifice 1,000,000 men and spend $1,000,000,000 to punish what they con- ceived to be an invasion of their rights'or an attempt to work an injustice upon them. We know that and respect them for it.” The Gazette nevertheless is unable to imagine why the United States should re- sent the action of Great Britain in Vene- zuela and advises the Americans to read the entire series of dispatches on the sub- ject which passed between Lord Salisbury and Secretary Olney. Rev. Joseph Parker, in the course of a sermon in the City Temple today, told his hearers that there would be no war be- tween England and America. The Chris- tians of both countries, he said, would keep the peace Of the world. The Pall Mall Gazette’s money article says: “Of course, whatever happens, America will lose credit over the afl‘air. It is particularly unfortunate when many of her railways need money.” The afternoon newspapers all contain long editorials on the Venezuela question, the general tenor of their utterances being the same as yesterday, though all agree that the matter is becoming much graver. The Globe, a high Conservative organ and a newspaper which may be supposed to be on terms of intimacy with the gov- ernment, gives warning that Great Britain will remain firm, saying: “President Cleveland may appoint a dozen commis- sions, but England will remain firm in her refusal to recognize them and juris- diction of this sort. This is our unaltere- , his position, be the consequences what they may. We will never submit to such unparalleled dictation. ” The Globe is also irate at the recent ut- terances of Dr. Chauncey M. Depew, es- ecially his references to the easy manner n which the United States could conquer Canada, remarking, “The overwhelming naval strength of England would enable her to pour troops into Canada at any sign of danger, and small warships could be sent to the lakes, and Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo would be utterly at their mercy. ” French Against Us. PARIS, Dec. 20.—All the newspapers which comment upon President Cleve- land’s message on Venezuela and the sub- sequent action of the United States con- gress support the stand taken by Great Britain in the matter and protest that Monroeism is not and cannot be a princi- ple of international law. The Figaro asks, “Why should the United States refuse other powers the right of defending their interests in Amer- ica when they themselves intervened in Turkey without any one thinking of op- posing them?” ' The Siecle says, f‘Applying the doctrine raises an interesting question, not only for Great Britain, but for the other Euro. pean powers, which ought to unite in a common defense.” The Estafette remarks, "We regret that with his re-election as an object Presi- dent Cleveland has chosen to assume such a haughty and aggressive attitude. ” .The Soleil asserts that “President Cleve- land has adopted the best course for se- curing his ' re—election” and rejects the su gestion that the dispute between Great Britain and the United States will lead to war. The Eclair believes that Great Britain and the United States will keep the con- flict within the bounds Of diplomacy, add- ing, “England is right, because Monroe- iflm is only an ingenious trick and cannot be substituted for law.” Tao Gauloislpays, ‘_‘There will be no Gleam; - Powder » Assessors“ nuns: hostilities. as the governments Will be more circumspect than the newspapers.” The German View. BERLIN, Dec. 20.—Concerning the ef- fect of President Cleveland’s message to the American congress, Geheimrath Schwabach, the head of the banking firm of Bleichroder, said to a representative of the press today: “The message of the president is only an election coup and has not affected the Berlin boerse at all. The Russian loan iust oflered was oversubscribed four or live times. The threat conveyed in the message will not have any practical efiect until both states raise armies. It would be different if great military powers like Russia and Austria used such language, but England and the United States, as regards armies, are now in the position that Germany was in in the sixteenth century. ” ' The members of the American colony, Irrespective of party preferences or afi‘ilia- tions, are unanimous in approval of Presi- dent Cleveland’s message, which they re- gard as a matter of national honor, not of party tactics. The colony praises the Americans for having roused from their lnaction in the face of foreign assumption. A member of the British embassy here who was interviewed declined to express as a British ofiicer any opinion in Fegard to President Cleveland‘s message or to talk of any of the phasrs of the Venezue- lan controversy. In his private capacity, however, he said that he regarded Lord Salisbury as being in every respect a match for Mr. Cleve- land in the use of strong language. A Mexican View. MEXICO CITY, Dec. 20._—'I‘he Mexican Herald says: “War with England would be an unspeakable calamity. It means a terrible blow to the rising prestige and predominance of the Anglo-Saxon race. It would probably result in the assump- tion of leadership in the world’s affairs by some great nation hostile to the increas- ing predominance of the English speak- lng countries. The fate of a mighty breed of men hangs upon the prudence and wis- dom of the cabinets of Washington and London.” Ex-Official’s Views. TERI-IE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. 20.—In com- menting on the president’s message to congress err-Secretary of the Navy R. W. Thompson said that he did not think there is a remote chance of war with England. There is no probability of the two Eng- lish speaking peoples of the world going to war with each other about a little strip of territory alongside of Venezuela. It will be a. war of diplomacy, according to his views, in which both countrieswill make an exhibition of power and purpose, but the controversy will be settled by peaceful methods. Neither nation is pre- pared to go- to war and neither wants a war as a result of this quarrel over a boundary line. It is not necessary for either to fight to show that it is not cow- ardly. Each knows the other will fight, but each is too far advanced in civilization to be the aggressor in bringing on a war on such provocation. Colonel Thompson also said that one phase of the question presented itself to his mind which would probably open up a prolonged discussion. This country has never affirmed the Monroe doctrine and given notice to other nations. So far the doctrine is merely the doctrine of Presi- dent Monroe. While it is accepted every- where as expressing our position in re— gard to the encroachment of foreign pow- ers on the American continent, it has not been given the force of congressional affir- mation. England may say she has never been notified of the intention of the peo- ple of the United States to maintain the position of protesting against the acquire- ment of territory by European nations on the American continent. THE PHILADELPHIA STRIKE. A Few Cars Running—Carrying l'IIore Po- licemen Than Passengers. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20. —The third day of the strike of the motormen and con- ductors of the Union Traction company found the lines of the company all over the city still tied up and the backbone Of the strike unbroken. Very few more cars were running today than yesterday. Yesterday 61 cars were run, out of a to- tal of more than 2, 000. Today probably 100 are running. All of these carry more policemen than passengers. In some in- stances the escort of mounted officers, which was the novelty of yesterday, Was absent, but no car had less than four pa- trolmen on the two platforms. Not many of the motormen and conductors wore uniforms, thus indicating that green men are running the cars. Quiet prevailed everywhere, but the authorities were anxious and vigilant.

E-' “"":;...m‘ axioms ' A nun-dour Whose Long right For use Attracted Greet Attention. . CAMDEN, N. J., Dec. 20.—Theodore N. Lambert, the murderer, was hanged to- day. Lambert was a negro 23 years of age. The crime for which he was hanged was the murder of William G. Kairer, a baker, in the early part of December, 1893. Mr. Kairer was awakened in the night by'a noise on the lower floor of his house, and descending came upon a burglar, who shot him dead. The burglar escaped, but Lambert, who had been committing numerous robberies, was suspected and was convicted of the crime at the May term of court, 1894. He was sentenced to be hanged on Dec. 3 of that year. The legal battle to save Lambert’s life was one of the most remarkable in the criminal history of the United States. About a week before the execution day and after the arrangements for the hang- ing had been almost completed Governor Werts granted a 30 days’ reprieve, which made the execution day fall on Jan. 3 of the present year. Lambert’s counsel, John Sample, went through every legal chann 1 known to ex- tend his life. He applied a the New J er- sey supreme court for his release on a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that the granting of a reprieve by the governor was unconstitutional. The New Jersey supreme court refused to listen to the appeal, and he next went before the United States circuit court, where he made the same motion. The matter hung fire until within 20 hours before the time set for the execu- tion, when Mr. Justice Shiras issued a writ which acted as a stay of execution. The Writ was served on Sheriff Barrett at about 9 o’clock on the day Lambert was to have been hanged. The writ was argued before the United States supreme court at Washington and dismissed. A mandate was isssued, and the day for his execution was again set in last June, but owing to the failure of the mandate to be carried through the correct course the second death warrant was not issued. The case again entered the United States supreme court and resulted in that court affirming the refusal of the United States circuit court to release Lambert from custody. The governor thereupon fixed today as the date for the execution of the negro and refused to grant Lawyer Semple’s re- quest to extend the time in order to have the case laid before the state board of par- dons. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the deseased portion of the ear, There is only one way to cure Derfness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Bus tachian Tube. When this tube get infl- amed you, have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out cf ten are caused by ca- tarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The market is full of cough mixtures, but one trouble with most of them is that when they do a little good the pa- tient has to take so much that he gets to loathe the taste. The Pineola Balsam is superior to other cough remedies because it is agreeable to the palate and its good effects are immediate, In a few days an ordinary cough is gone altogether.
