from its financial and commercial standpoints has been up in the public mind It takes some time to convince the average Britisher anything and there has been j carried out no exception in the case of impressing on the minds of those in authority here that the United States is thoroughly convinced of the justness of the Monroe doctrine as a whole although there may be differences of opinion as to its applicability to the boundary dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain In consequence the tone of the press and the general public here is now strikingly conciliatory and everything possible is being done to avoid a fric tion which might result in further un pleasantness Although the attitude of people in au and those not In authority here is peaceful the possibilities which the future may bring forth are not by any means overlooked This is shown by the stress laid by the St James Ga zette this afternoon upon the latest ad vices from British Guiana and the com and military outlook in that colony The St James Gazette has from the first and up to the present had the good fortune to be distinctly ahead in announcing alj the develop ments from this side of the water in the Venezuelan question and there is therefore a shrewd suspicion that it has been more or less directly or in directly inspired by the Secretary of State for the Colonies Mr Joseph Chamberlain Consequently more than ordinary interest is manifested in an article which it published today giving prominence to the mail news just re from British Guiana in which it Is announced that at a meeting of Influential residents of British Guiana recently held at Georgetown the capi tal of the colony a provisional board of directors was appointed for a company which is to be known as the British Chartered company organized for the purpose of developing the interior of British Guiana ant cable dispatches the elan Minister at A con ference between the and his Cabinet was held There is unusual activity but it

been agreed upon the says Mr J P Morgan is willing to help the Government by a new loan of This he ill do in con junction with and by the cooperation of the banks if by the Government Negotiations have been advanced by him far enough with the banks to enable him to enter into such an agreement with the Treasury The plan is for Mr Morgan and a syndi cate organized by him to take bonds at once paying for them in in as money may be required and also to agree to take more on the same terms if the Treas ury should later need further gold It only depends now on Mr Cleveland whether such an agreement shall be Persons in a position to know the facts to some extent said it was understood the Rothschilds did not care to liave anything to do with the loan and that therefore Mr Belmont would not be a party to the transaction as their agent although his firm might take some of the bonds They Played Hail New York Dec Red Star steamer Caracas arrived today from La and She sailed from La on

Board of Trade at a meeting last evening issued the following state ment Chief Ignacio of the Southern Ute Indians and a large part of his nation have elected not to take allotments of land in severally and for several months have been in occupation of the west end of the present reservation which was set apart and reserved for such Indians as would not take land in severally This was done under an act of Congress approved February 20 This law also states that the Government shall maintain an agency at some suitable place on the lands so reserved This act of Congress was ex to the Indians by the Indian department at the time a majority of the male adult Indians accepted and consented to its provisions and Ignacio and his Ute Indians wentto this west ern part of the reservation expecting the Indian department would keep faith with No agency was established but in the early fall Ignacio was promised that if he and his Indians would go to the agency on the eastern end of the res a distance of seventyfive miles for their annuity money and other moneys due them from the Gov an agency would be immedi ately established at Navajo Springs at which place thereafter rations would be furnished them weekly as is furnished to the Indians on the eastern end of the reservation and at which place all their moneys would be paid to them Igna cio and his Indians believed this prom ise and went after their money and rations and immediately returned to their home on the western end of the reservation But no agency has been established at Navajo Springs or at any other place on the western end of the reservation and Chief Ignacio and his Indians have received no rations for months To keep them from starving members of the Board of have sent them provisions from time to time and the white settlers near them have fed them from their scanty stock These Indians are now in a starving condition and says he will starve to deatn before he will go to the old agency for rations and we believe that he will do so as he never breaks his word Ke is an Indian chief that comes up to the ideal of a noble Indian as pictured by Cooper in his novels He says that he has kept his agreement and wonders why Washington does not keep his part of the compact Chief Ignacio will not kill cattle on the range to keep himself from starvation but some of his followers may and this will result in bloodshed The Indian brave will retaliate on the whites at the sight of his dead squaw and pa Winter weather now on us will hasten this state of affairs Indian Commissioner Browning has turned a deaf ear so far to the appeals of these seeming to Imply that he believes a good Indian is a dead Chief Ignacio has personally met President Cleveland at White House and believes that has not forgotten and will not let him and his people starve The Board of Trade ap peals to the at large in the cause of humanity to make the present coldblooded Indian department feed these starving Indians Washington Dec

the Treasury was without the power to resist the incursions of foreign or domestic spec Mr Parker N favored the as a good business measure Mr McLauren S opposed it because it would increase the burden of a people already and would tend to legalize a series of usur of power by the Secretary of the Treasury If the Secretary would use his discretion and redeem notes in silver the gold raids would stop and new hope would be infused into the Democratic party now crushed by the financial policy of the Administration Mr Cannon in support of the measure declared that it was a to maintain specie payments
