The President respond* ad In a felicitous vein, incidentally expressing tbe bope that the Baron's coming would result in the settlement f all pending questions, this being sn indirect reference to tbe Venesuelan Issue.

Baron 8ternburg In his calls at the State Department end the British Embassy found the ortlook for a relief f the present desdlock exceedingly gloomy, and he has cabled as much to his Government Meanwhile Mr. Bowen is biding bis time.
