English Enthusiasm for America

NEW YORK. March 7. AmerK?n ru
mon that the British foreign office
has suggested a basis (or drafting a
new Isthmian canal treaty cannot be
confirmed. In London, nays a Tribune
dlsoateh from that city. -
Th English prewi has not shown any
Interest In the canil question, and con
sequently Lord Laisdowne has consid
ered It fafe to pass It over as a mat
ter of no Importance and thereby re
mind the American government that It
. ought to find out what It wants be
fore asking any foreign power to grant
a gratuitous concession In a spirit of
neighborly accommodation. Lansdowne
8 not In an milable state of mind, as
has bon shown by his attack upon
Lord Wolseley, but he is capable of ;
gauging English sentiment on foreign j
questions.
There was real enthusiasm in Eng
land for America during the Spanish
war, but It has cooled off. This partly
is because the American opinion was
divided urlng the Boer war, but mainly
because the Imperial movement has re
ceived a greut Impulse from the loyalty
displayed by the colonies and because
also the German emperor has proved
a trustworthy and useful ally In heading
eff European intervention. The plain
truth Is that German support is consid
ered more helpful than American good
feeling, hence there Is no disposition to
make unnecessary concessions to the
United Stat?s either on the canal ques
tion or the Maybrlck case, which has
again been brought up by the prisoner's
frieid3.
VICTORIAN MEMORIAL
Plan of the Committee Does Not Meet
With Approbation.
NEWT. YORK, March ".The proposal
that the Victorian memorial shall take
the form of a structure near the abbey,
or possibly at Buckingham palace, with
a statue of th.1 qu?en as its most prom
inent figure, Is condemned as inade
quate, says the Tribune's London cor
respondent, and the king is expected to
refer It back to the committee with a
suggestion for a more comprehensive
scheme. It would probably involve the
erection of an isolated and inartistic
valhalla, with a statue by Onslow
Ford, and wuld be a memorial of a
unique character and reign.
The dean of Westminster, who con- i
suited Queen Victoria respecting the
construction of a chapel as a memorial
of the lubllee. was told by her that it
would be more appropriate to her death j
than to an anniversary of her corona
tion. This utterance, which has never
been contradicted, encourages the abbey
clergy to hope that a Victorian chapel
will be built which will provide addit
ional space for monuments and sculp
ture, both transepts now being over
crowded. The only site available for a chapel
Is Mr. Labouchere's house, which now
commands an exclusive view of the
jewel tower, one of the most interest
ing relics of old Westminster. A chapel
built there could be connected w-ith the
abbey by a cloister underneath the fly
ing buttresses of the chapter house.
This project already has a strong sup
port. The committee's plan does not
excite enthusiasm In any quarter.

Kenaa, a ol'rk In an Insurance com
pany, la In St. Luke's hospital recov
ering from a surgical operation, one of
! the rarest krown to moder.i soi lie".
The operation Is known as gnsnro-an-terofctomv.
and consist of removing the
patient's stomach, cutting away the
pyloris and several malignant growths
In Its vicinity and restoring the stomach
to Its former place.
MeKenni was resting easy last night
and the physicians say that If the pres
ent Improvement continues he will be up
in a week.
McKenna complained some months
ago of swore pa'ns In his stomach
and was troubled with Insomnia, A
tube Inserted through his aesophagus
Into his stomach showed a total dis
appearance of all adds and a destruc
tion of the pepsin, making digestion Im
possibl'. Food taken into the stom
ach was t ik fit away seventeen hours
"ater in practically the same e-n-dltlon
as before. This condition called for an
examination which disclosed a tumor as
big as a hen's epg and a syfv-matic
degeneration of the pancreas.
The puient wa thereupon prepared
for the ooeritl-ti. A ertical Incision
alxut five Inches long was made in the
abdomen and through the growth, the
expos ,1 pyloris showing a tumor out
side of the stomach. An incision was
thin made in the st.wach and inside
was found a cancerous growth the site
of a large orange.
The point where the hcislon was
made at the pylori Is thr exit of the
stomach Into ihe intestines, the other
opening bdng the entrance through the
aesophagus. The stomach was cut
away fn.ni the intestines and the organ
was lifted compleMy out of its place
and laid on a cushion of antiseptic
loths placed on .he patient's chest.
Then the doctors cut a way the tumor
and cut off the pyloris. the other ma
lignant growth being also thoroughly
cut away. The stomach was then put
back in its accustomed place, having
been I )ln-l to the intestines with silk
sutures.
But little blood wis apparent through
out the whole operation, which lasted
one hour and fifteen minutes. The pa
tient rillied at oce and it was seen
that the operation was a success.
EXTRAORDINARY SESSION.

BUILDING TRADES' UNION.
Definite Steps Taken for Formation of

CHICAGO, .March 7.-The Record
says:
The first d.flnite steps toward the
formation of a tv central body of

ers' union.
The arbitration committee of that un

structed to devise .mime way to bring
about closer relations between the
trades which have maie agreements

IRON AND STEEL TRADES.
Enormous Home Consumption Creates
Unusual Activity.
NEW YORK. March 7. Discussing
the condition of the Iron and steel
trades, the Iron Age says:
Evidence of the enormous home con
sumption of this country Is pouring In
from day to day and Is a surprise
to the most sanguine. For the time
being It certainly disposes of the doubt
aa to the possible iffevt of a sharp
decline in our Iron and s;ev export
business,
Nothing has been heard as yet In
regard to this season's ore prices but
apparently the trade has gone ahead
with little reference to what decision
may be finally retched. While the
hvavy buying cf p'g iron fur steel
making purposes serins to have ex
hausted Itself, the large consumers be
ing covered, there has been heavy trad
ing In foundry pig Iron. The Lading
firms of pig Iron merchants report that
their sales have averaged close to 10
IKK) tons per day lately.'
Not only the principal nidt-rs of
Iron, like the cist Iron shop an. I the
malleable Iron founders, have b .en con
tracting for delivery beyond the mid
dle of the year but the great mass of
small founders, too, have been plac
ing orders. This applies more purtltii
larly to all the leading Interior mar
kets, tidewater poirts having been rela
tively quiet. Prices have advanced fivm
5 cents to f per ton above the low
est point quiKly n.a.l? early In Febru
ary, and the market close firm.
Th large steel concerns win to have
turned to melting sleek for a furth r
supply of raw material, and a g .M
deal of activity is reported in scrap
a. id in old steel mils. The steel mar
ket is s:ill very bare, and premiums
are quite generally iui(i fr prompt de
livery ov-r iol prices. It is possible
that the billet association may this week
doer. tha; -he luglng "official " pi ices
catch up with the market.
The tendency of prices in r Ml. d steel
Is distinctly upward, and if c 'iiVi-.iue I
may foice the Unit .-d States Steel Cor
Mration. when it tak--s hold, to face a
series of relatively high prices. There
Is talk of lifting steel plit.s a iotiu r
12 per ton, and pipe has already gniie
up -i per cent.
The domestic consumption of finished
material continues extraordinary. As j
an example the fact may be qu ted I
that during February, a short mon:h
the American Steel and Wire Compii ;.
received specifications aggp gating ljo,.
6'' tons, the heaviest month in its his
tory. Like information ernes from
'the plate mills, th structural shops,
tive sheet mills, and the bar mills. Our
repotts from the arious distributing
makets Indicate that work is still com
inir uo in a How, so that e.nployni-nt
ud to the middle of the yrar WVH
assured. The spring trade this year
is certainly exceptionally active in all
heavy lines.
"We shall not, therefore, f1r some
time to come fee! the decline in the ex
port trade in iron and steel.. It Is a
different matter in the metals. I'r sent
prices for copper would b- out of the
luestio.i were it not (,,r th- enormous
home demand. The outlook for con
sumption in Eur-'p.- is un loiibt lly very
blue in all branches of the m-ial trad.-.
This is shown, too, by the way in which
lead and spelter are acting in Europ -.
It is of Interest to note that the kad-
ing pig l-'ad producers here are ncgo-
t.ating with injep-nd'-nt prolu -ers to
restrict production, since stocks ar
getting heavy.
VENEZUELAN REVOLUTION.
Uprising Now In Progress Is Said to Be
Most Formidable and Far
Reaching. NEW YORK. March 7.-Th- Times
this morning says:
A resident of New York who for po
litical reasons declined to permit the
use of his name but who has exten
sive business and political dealings with
Venezuela, ives thu following outline
of the situation existing in that coun
try: "General Igraciu Andra-le arrived at
San Juan, Porto Rico, from Cuba, on
February 17th and remained at his
ranch for a few days, when he d -parted
duietlv for more active service, pre
sumably In the Held, as he had perfected
his. final arrangements with his Cuban
friends who are to take part in the
decisive movement for the overthrow of
Cipriano Castro, the present dictator of
the republic of Venezuela.
"Notwithstanding that but little, If
any. news of the revolution now go
ing on 'n Venezuela finds its way Into
print, it Is true that a most formidable,
powerful, and far-reaching uprising Is
row In prof?ref;.s in that country and H
will not be many weeks or days, per
haps1. b"f ore the censorship established
by Castro in December last will be
broken, and l he details of the affair
will be sent out freely.
"Th entire country lying west of the
Orinoco river up to within 100 miles of
Caracas, the feleral capital, Is now
in the hands of the revolutionists, un-d-r
the leadership of General Nicholas
Rolando, with General Pedro Du
Charme and his brother, General Ho
ratio Du Charrne, each In charge of
large an 1 well-disciplined armies, com
posed of fighters of r.o mean qualities.
Those divisl'i.K! of the revolutionary ar-
inv are well equipped with modern arms
and ; n ample supply of ammunition.
"Since the withdrawal of Castro's
forc.es fr im the Orinoco district, only a
few revolutionary have ben required to
care for places like Cludad Bolivar,
Harranacas and the Miccario river, and
hence the bulk" of the b'-.n fighting men
have Joind the divisions of Roland and
:he two Du Charmes, who have ben ad
vanced to the westward, doubtless to
concentrate ,nar the bay f Carcnero,
less Mian UH) miles east of the city of
Caracas. From this bay It Is scarco
tww days' march to lVlare. which Is
connected with the capital by a well
built and equipped railroad.
"All the telegraph lines In the state
of Berniudoe are now In the hands of
Rolando's troop.
"In the western wet Ion of the repub
lic the fU'ue activity prevails as 1
girds missing tii). and pressing them
to the center. Thfe forces are under
command of General IVrraaa and a
corvs of alle g'n'iiils, vch of whom
has a local following and liiihienc .
It Is also reported that a large iitim-ln-r
of tlomlliin adventurers hive
lolned the Yeneaueluii forces. That
there Is some tinderstandtrg between a
c. rtain class of Colombia is and the
Iusurgi-nt forces se nns likely from (lie
fact that trt-neral Rolando, when he
left New York last auuimn. went di
rectly to Colombia to make arrangv.
ments for an acc-sslon to bis forces
from among the pivple of that country.
After several months' sojourn there lie
went away In a very satisfied mood.
Immediately after his arrival home
news was received here of an adviinc -of
the te.'olutlotilsts. not only from the
Orinoco and Kormudese districts, but
from the Colombian frontier. This west
ern alllanc ' Is doubtless due to the fact
Ihil Colombians have some old seor'es
to settle with their Indian brethren,
cf whom Castro -s a leader a :d e ni:;
ti yman.
"Ti offs.-t this aetlon, It Is rcporte I
that Castr) hius sent ever $."0.tn) here
for the use of litiieiiil I'ribc-Uribe, to
te expend si in munitions of war for
the Colombian insuig-nts. It l an
.; en s-.-i-t that hoiVlombian relx'lsare
friends of Ca-ttn -ihile the g v.inm nt
of Colombia Is on the most fil ndy
terms with Andra.le and will do all In
Its power to secretly aid him In th
overihr-'w of Castr-'."
