Washington advices state that the Venezuelan negotiations have been re? sumed bj the American and British cabinets just where they stopped when Mr. Cleveland sent bis celebrated war message to Congress, and It is reported also that they have assumed a more pleasant shape, with the promise In the end of reaching a satisfactory conclu? sion. This is welcome news, ior while tbe Jingoes and English-hating pooplo In this country comprise a considerable percentage of tbe population, the great majority would much prefer a continue ance o! tho present peaceful relations to war with i:s attendant horrors. If a war with England Bhould un? happily occur and the blood of the American people become fully aroused, Canada would be overrun and annexed to the United States; but this way of getting Canada is too expensive, when the same result can be accomplished without bloodshed. In the course of time Canada will becomo conviccsd that she ought to be a member of the American Union, and as she will !> ? big enough to take care of herself, tho mother country will probably toll her daughter to go in peace, and give to both children her blessings. Indeed, the interest of the English speaking peoplos are too noarly the same for their prusent harmonious rela? tions to be disturbed. Them is work for them to do in America, in Asia, Africa and the islands of the sea. They are marching side by side in the van of pro Rrosaiveness and Christian civilization. They hava a common destiny, which is to Christian;/.?) the world and spread abroad the blessings and benefits of God's promises to all the pooplcs of the earth. Already the followers of tho false prophet have become emboldened by the impunity with which tho soulless Turks massacred thousands of helpless Ghristalns in the Ottoman empire, while ever in Africa tho Mandists, in? toxicated with their success In defeat? ing the Italians,aro already indulging in dreams of bringing Egypt under the rule of tho successor to the false prophet. Down among tho Jonse fcosts of tbe interior of the dark con xiont the followers of Mohammed are nidging, proselytes rapidly, and unless these advances are checked by tbe might and power of England, aided by the members of the triple alllanoe the darkness of cuporstltlon like a funeral pall will hang over tbe northern and middle Africa a standing menace to i Christian progress and enllghtnment. The great future bafore the Anglo* Saxons It becoming more and more ap? parent to tho thoughtful, and there should be such a pride of raoe among the members of that noble steck that all estrangements should oeate and only that which promotes the general welfare considered. This Is a broad Held, of course, but the race is big enough and grand enough to fill it. Secbetahy of Wab Lamont is op? posed to tbe passage of the bill pro? moting (leneral Nelson A. Miles, com mander-ln chief of the army, to the grade of lieutenant general, and as the Secretary of War, notwithstanding ho has stated ttait he has no political aspirations, is said to be desiroua of re? ceiving tbe gubernatlonal nomination In New York, tho friends of tho general proposo to retaliate by doing all they can to defeat him.

(or "Dan." when he announces bis can? didacy. A London dispatch aayB Ambassador Bayard is bearing up cheerfully under the resolutions of oensure ' recently p&BBed by the liouseof Representatives, and in view of the fact that the censure bestowed on him was mainly from mem? bers of tho Republican party, there is no reason why he should lose any great amount of sleep on account of it. He ought to have had better judgment than to have toadied to the British as ho did, but in the oyes of Republicans his great? est offance seemed to bo his outspoken opposition to the policy of protection.

(Senator Daniel's Popularity. Tbe Washington Times Bays: "Wore Senator Blackburn as popular person? ally in Kentucky as 1b Senator Daniel in Virginia, he would have had no trouble in being reflected, no matter what his financial views might be," said a well-known Richmond lawyer at tbe Metropolitan last night. '1 sup? pose the peoplo In my Stato are almost evenly divided as to silver and gold. I Senator Daniel is a pronounced silverlte, 1 yet his popularity Is so great that were be to run for an office to-morrow his eleotlon would be assured. "Last November, when it was an? nounced that Governor O'Ferrall waa an aspirant for Daniel's seat in the Sonate, and his friends commenced to fool tho puiso ot the public, tbey found the gov? ernor stood absolutely no show. Mr. Daniel stumped the State in the In? terest of the Democratic ticket and mot with ovations at every point. I tblnk I can say, without fear of contradiction, tha' he is as popular to-day as at any time in his career, and there is no doubt as to hla being his own succeaeor when the legislature meots two years hence. I do not think there Is any truth in the report that Mr. Daniel is about to enter tho ministry." Lynched t>y White .Caps. Louisville, Ky..
