The New York correspondent of the Daily Telegraph telegraphs that Senator Olney has tabled, a motion that, in the opinion of the House, the Marquis of Salisbury should not construe the Commission a?j an act of hostility. Late telegrams are regarded as likely to restore financial confidence. Washington, December 27. The friends of President Cleveland report that the President, fearing that Congress would declare war on the production, of the Venezuelan papere, demanded, a Commission, and hoped to. appoi nt as members those who would report favourably as to British demand;j in America. Th-8 Prince of Wales's speech is recognised as a real public service. The. reDort that Lord Salisbury approved of the Prince of Wales's action produced a deep impression. The New York World states that the Prf/sident has asked Messrs Phelp and Lincoln to join the Commission. President Cleveland will probably ifjsue a third message insisting that the currency reforms proposed by Congress are inadequate. December 28. The financial crisis overwhelms the Jingo feeling.
