The British Government Anxious That the United States and Britain Shall Come Very Much Closer Together--Speech Re- ceived With Cheers. London, Dec. 19.--The Right Hon. Walter H. Long, president of the local government board responded, last night, to the toast of 'His Majesty's Ministers," at the Westminster may- oral banquet. Loud cheers greeted his statement that this country was in no danger, either of war or of anv straining of friendly relations with the United States. He believed that the British government was fully and deeply impressed with the great fact that the English-speaking people all over the world could, if so disposed, maintain the peace of the world. He believed the government was determin- ed to make the relations which exist- ed between Great Britain and the Un- ited States closer and nearer and dear- er than they had ever been. Dr. Wray, a veterinary surgeon, who represents the United 'States Agricul tural department, at the cattle depot, said, yesterday, since the prohibition of the importing of cattle from the New England states, the British offici- als had not found even a suspicious case among cattle, and they were per- fectly satisfied with the precautions taken bv the United States to stamp out the foot and mouth disease. FULL AUTHORITY. is Very Anxious to Avoid War. 19.--The government delivered to Mr. Bowen, the United States minister, yesterday, full au- thority to do all that he can to se cure arbitration and appointing him as the representatives of Venezuela on any board of arbitration that may be selected. The replies to the proposi- tion forwarded by Venezuela through Washington, to London and Berlin, asking that the question at issue be decided by arbitration are awaited here with intense anxiety. Merchants, proprietors and every one having any- thing 'ad stake wish to avoid war and are willing to loan the government sufficient money to pay the claims if the authorities consider this neces- sary. Reports from La Guayra are to the effect that the situation there remains unchanged. The British warship Inde- fatigable, remains there, and the Itali- an cruiser Giovanni Bauson has arriv- ed. These are the only warships in the harbor. The German warship Pan- ther has left Puerto Cabello for Car- acoa, : Venezuela Caracas, Dec. Knew All About It. London, Dec. 19.--The Berlin corres- pondent of the London Daily Tele- graph states, authoritatively, that the United States government has been all along, minutely informed of the aims and intentions of the Germ- an government; that the United States authorities knew exactly what Ger- many as well as Britain, wanted from Venezuelan; that Germany, no more than Britain, ever contemplated the annexation of terrRory and that per- fect confidence has prevailed between President Roosevelt and Kaiser Wil helm, and between their respective governments. Quite Grotesque. London, Dee, 19.--1The suspicion ex- pressed hy various journals that Ger- many has been plotting to obtain a naval base on Margarita island, with the help of Britain, are grotesque. Britain having possessions and naval strongholds in the West Indies and the Spanish main is not likely to join a conspiracy against the peace of her own colonies, as well as the security of the United States. Premier Balfour's adherence to the theory that neutral commerce can be interrupted by a belligerent blockade alone is now accepted herve gs decisive proof that the United States and Britain are fully in accord, and that arbitration will be arranged specdily even if the optimistic reports from ('aracas of a settlement prove prema- ture. The Venezuelan affair is destin- ed to e:tablith a precedent for inter national action in dealing with de faulting and turbulent Spanich Ame rican states. Attempts to collect debts by fictitious blockades would he open to constant abuses. Belligerent blockades with arbitration as an al- ternative, will he an effective measure in promoting the ends of peace and justice. United States Pension Bill. Washington,' D.

The session of the Br tish parlia- ment was closed on Thursday, with the customary formalities. Premier Balfour's friends are justified in con- eratulating him on the great gain to his prestige as prime minister.

A new president will be named. The loan secured recently has all been taken care of. The only necessity for borrowing any money arose from the complaint of construction contractors in advance of the payments due the company on account of subscriptions to preferred stock.

Nice, Dec. 19.--The long-talked of duels between two French and two Italian fencing masters, to 'decide as to the best style of national swords- manship, were fought, vesterday morn- ing. M. Kirchofier represented France in the engagement, with Signor Vega, while the Frenchman, M. Merignac, faced Signor Pessina. Both Italians were wounded. Signor Vega was cut in the deltoid region of the shoulder by M. Kirchoficr, while Signor Pessina in the seventh engagement was wound- od in the*right side hy M. Merignac. The point of the foil did not pene- trate far, being stopped by the rib bone. A great crowd of people witnessed the contests. After the duels the po- lice entered the grounds and subse- quently conducted the Italian duelists to the central police station, where they were served with a warrant of expulsion. Signors Vega and Pessina were accompanied to the railway sta- tion by their late adversaries. There was much hand-shaking and many ex- pressions of good-will Lefore the de- parture of the train.

One of Seven Cent Value Will be Found Useful for Postage and Registration--General Tidings From the Capitol. Ottawa, Dec. 19.--Hon. Join Cos- tigan, M.P., says that he wiil invite the Canadian parliament, at its forth- coming session, once more to express its sympathy with the Irish cause in a resolution to be forwarded to the Imperial authorities in London. The post-office department announces that on December 24th, it will be in a position to supply a seven cent 'post- age stamp to accounting post-offices throughout Canada. N\This stamp, which is of yellow color, will be especi- ally convenient for postage ana regis- tration fee on single letters, whilst it may also be used for other postage purposes to the extent of its face va- lue. Non-accounting offices can obtain their supply through the city post- offices.

George T. Tupper, has been appoint- ed a sub-collector of customs at Bear River, Dighy County, Nova Scotia. It is likely that legislation will be introduced next session providing a spe.ial pension for men who have been permanently disabled in South Af- rican service. The regular Canadian pension act does not provide for pen- sioning these men.

The department of agriculture been notified that Samuel Davis tralia. Ont., has been fined for send- ing inferior fruit to Manitoba, also that four carloads of apples from Un- tario have been condemned and con- fiscated in British Columbia because of the presence of codlin moth. A Bri- tish Columbia law prohibits the im- portation of fruit infected with noxi- ous insects, and one codlin moth ina barrel of lapples would ensure the con- demnation of the entire barrel. has Cen- 0il As Fuel Here To Stay. New York, Dec. 19.--It is the opin- ion of those most interested that oil as fuel for locomotives has come to stay, at least in certain parts of the country, where its use has been a success in that regard, both in results on enzines and the economy obtained in cost of fuel. Within a sort time the Southern Pacific will have a com- plete system of stations for supplying the fluid to engines, huge tanks hav- ing. been built for the double purpose of storage and feeding. They occupy points about 100 miles apart on the average, except in the desert and some other places where circumstances. per- mit of 150 miles. Ex-Police Captain On Trial.

Toronto, Dec. 19.--A Globe special from Vancouver, B.C., says: There was a hot meeting at. Fulford Har- bour, North Victoria, on Tuesday night, at which Mr. Robertson, gov- ernment candidate, Mr. Patterson, op- position, and Messrs. Prior, Lberts and Oliver spoke, the lie being passed vigorously between Messrs. Prior and Oliver. Mr. Prior said North Victoria had been shamefully treated, and he refused to be judged by the acts of the Dunsmuir government. Mr. Eberts attacked Mr. Patterson for his con- nection with the Shushawp and Okan- agan railway and Mr. Patterson, in reply, charged that before Theodore Davis would deal with them, Davis in- sisted that Patterson pay rberts and Taylor a thousand dollars, although that firm did not work for them. This he was finally compelled to do and he in consequence branded Mr. Eberts as a blackmailer, adding that his check would prove it. The incident has created a sensation. SCHOONER RESCUED.
