All,LoyeIy Again.

Washington, Nov. 29:---Happily it appears
from the unofficial news received from Ven
ezuela that the Mijares incident is at an
end, and that the Venezuelan government
has been silenced by the presentation of the
case made by Minister Scruggs. Because
charge of criminality had been trumped up
against him, it was commended by the Ven
ezuelan government that he could not be re-
garded as a political refugee and should be
surrendered. The point was successfully
met by Minister Scruggs, and to strength
en- the position taken by the United States
an examination was made Of the case Of
Gamez, which was never fully disclosed.
Mr.. Shannon, United States minister to
Nicaragua, has made an interesting report
to the department Of state regarding the
case. This case assumed considerable i'm
portance during the Barrundia incident by
reason of the fact that the Italian govern
ment placed special stress upon it us sup
porting its position. 1t now appears that
the final issue of the Cameo incident has
been misunderstood. MI. Shannon finds that
the courts of Nicaragua, upon an actual
trial of the captain who refused to surren-
der Cameo, found that he was warranted
in refusing to surrender Cameo to their au-
thOritieS.
Caracas, Nov. 29.---A minister at the cap
itOl to-day told correspondent that Gen.
Crespo would maintain fully the jurisdic-
ton of Venezuela, and especially it's right
to arrest criminals OIL merchant ships in her
waters. This right will be more particularly
insisted upon in the future.

Not Il Bit Worried.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The fact that the
British government has just launched in
Canada a modern steel revenue cutter which
may easily be transformed into an effective
war vessel does not cause that degree Of
apprehension that might be exp ec:nd, for
the very good reason that all the facts in
the case have long been known to the Off
Gals of the department of state and the
navy department. They have satisfied them
selves that there has been no breach Of
the treaty that there shall be but enc war
vessel OF the two nations OH the iuLcs.
When the Constance, the first Of the new
Canadian Ike vessels, was building ,::st
year, an officer of the United States Law
visited the ship yard and closely examined
the new vessel: lie reported mat SHE WAS
exactly what she was represented Il. be-a
revenue cutter of modern type. In her con-
>struction a partial protective steal eek was
embodied. but this is necessity, in view Of
the possibility of disabling an unprotected
boiler by even a small rifle shot. Also re-
gard was had to the possibilities of the fu-
ture and the vessel was so built that she
might carry cannon, and thus become 4
seryiceable gun boat. But this is exactly
what the navy departn cnt has done in thu.

Labor Well COMPENSATED.

Liberty, Mo-, Nov. 2S.-Four expert cracks
men, with use of dynamite and the latest
approved tools, cracked the big safe of the
First National bank of this city last night
and secured a sum of money variously esti-
mated at from $11, ZOO to $4,000. The
burglars were scared away before they had
completed their work, and did not get into
the reserve vault of the safe, in which was
$4,000 more, principally in gold. They had
dynamite and fuse attached to this, but
for some unknown reason fled without
touching it Off. The first intimation Of the
robbery came at 1890 o'clock this morning.
when County Treasurer Riley, who has an
office in the building adjoining the bank
went to his Office. When he entered the
room he saw that the wall Of the building
ing was caying in, and, Oh investigation, he
found that there had been a terrific ex-
plosion in the bank which had almost
wrecked both buildings. He gave the ALARM
and upon search it was learned that burglars
had been at work successfully. in the bank.
They had entered the bank by means Of
skeleton keys which had opened the back
door and another leading to the room in
which was the vault. They then drilled holes
through the outer door of the vault and with
q charge Of powder blew out the time lock-
which had been set to open on Monday

London, Nov. 29.--Bimetallism has found
an advocate in Archbishop Walsh of Dublin.
In an interview regarding the distress pre-
vailing in Ireland, the archbishop declared
that the adoption of bimetallism was mat
ter of imperative necessity to save the Irish
tenants from inevitable ruin. It was dis
heartening, the archbishop added to find that
no interest was taken in the question by
the leaders of the Irish parliamentary party.
Ii things 60 on as they are, even the eN-
cellent land purchase schemes may become,
before many years are over, source of
widespread disaster to purchasers under il.
According to Archbishop Walsh's views, for
eign competition is not at all he sole cause
of the runous fall in the prices of agri-
cultural products. The main cause, he be-
ieyes, is, the continuous rise in the value Of
gold. -
what a prospect it isl he added, ssfor
irish tenants, whose judicial rents are fixed
for fifteen years. or for the tenants with an
nual purchase payments extending over
forty nine years, that gold has risen 35 per
cent in value within the last fifteen years,
and must continue to appreciate if the pres
ent system is maintained.' The archbi shop
concluded by expressing the hope that, tie
conference at Brussels would succeed in
solving the monetary problem.

TWO INTERESTING CASES.
A PAIR OF NOTABLE TRIALS
FOR HERESY.
DR.. Briggs Case Begins in Earnest
Z Before the New York Presby-
tery-Another Charge
Against Prof.
In Smith. r." r..
Some Excitement.

New York, Nov. 29.---When the men,
oers OF the New York presbytery went
lntO session as a court in the old Scotch
presbyterian church soon after 2 o'clock
yesterday they had expressed an al
most unanimous hope that when they adj
Journed the case Of Prof. Charles A.
Briggs, whom they are trying On charges
OF heresy, would be Il thing of the past.
Before the moderator, DR.. John G. Bliss,
called the body to order, the divines and
elders had discussed in little groups the
subject, and it was clear that every eff
Tort to prolong and delay the final pass
Ing upon the case by quibbling and eva
sion on the technical points would meet
with the unsympathetic opposition Of the
jury.
The church was somewhat more crowd
ed IMAM at the last meeting of the pres
bSterS. There were no more ministers
ana elders present in the forward part of
the church, however, as at the last meet
ing. 1t was decided that only those
present there should have the right to
vote IN the court. Prof. Briggs was
present with his counsel and sat Just
under and at the left of the pulpit. The
prosecuting committee, consisting of Dr.
q. W. T.. Burch, Col. J. j. McCook.
Dr X. f. Sample, DR.. j. j. Lampe and
Hrot. j. }. Stevenson, sat in front of
the hrst pew at the right of the pulpit,
DIR. Bliss, DR.. Alexander, the stated
clerk, and the clerk and assistant clerk
OF the session sat apart upon the plat
form. The galleries We're we'll filled. and
the pews on the side aisles and back of
those occupied by the presbytery. We're
comfortably crowded with the friends of
the accused and others interested in the
case.
The session was opened with prayer
and the roll call was read before the
minutes of the preceding meeting We're
approved. When the presbytery was
ready to proceed directly with the trial,
the question of most immediate interest
was the line of procedure which Prof.
Briggs would indicate in his first move.
Just as the court convened a prominent
divine said to a reporter:
Livery objection possible as to the
regularity of jurisdiction, sufficiency of
charges, in form of legal effect or curity
of the proceedings itself is expected by
the court, because of the spirit which
has been previously shown by the ac-
cused at every former session where the
question at issue had been considered
AS for the charges, they were submitted
ut the last meeting of the presbyt terry as
amended charges.
At o'clock DR.. Briggs began to read his
answer to the charges as amended The
response was most exhaustive summing
up of his defense and it required two hours
for him to deliver it. After stating that lie
had no personal desire to delay the actual
trial of the charge against him on it's strict
merits Dr. RrippS ShoIyrnI thoti
essary for him to act as his own counsel
and in this capacity he had no right to pass
over technicalties or allow the presbytery
to establish dangerous OF illegal precedents.

Prohibition n Failure.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 29.---Rev. A. S. Ell

chourch Of this city, yesterday preached a
sensational sermon on temperance. He de-
clared that prohibition was Il failure, that
it never had been enforced and never could
be enforced, and that the prohibition laws
should be stricken from the statutes. The
continued violation Of Jaw with ilnpunitys
had led, he said, to anarchy, and that was
what was being taught tile young men Of
the state by the, non-enforcemest OF the
prohibition laws. He therefore advised the

sensation was caused here to-day when
Principal Schell announced to the pupils Of
the high school that Assistant Principal Irv-
ing D. Martin had been dismissed in dis
grace from the service of the school. The
reasons given were his glaring incompetency
and the fact that he was given the position
on the strength of letters Of recommended
ton that proved to have been forged. When
Martin filed his application he backed it
with most exceptionally strong recommended
lions from some Of the most prominent Iowa
school boards. His application was accepted
these documents without Investigating their
genuineneSS. When his incompetency began
to be noticed letters to the parties referred
to brought prompt replies that their names
had been forged Martin confessed all and
rendered his resignation when confronted
with proofs Of his guilt.

Hudson, Wis, Special, Nov. 2o.---Another
chapter was added to the unromantic expe-
riences of J. Knox Gavins domestic infe-
licity. While he was playing an engage
ment at New Richmond with the Brown
Theatrical company, he was arrested for
on-support of the Red Wing woman whom
he married here so unceremoniously a year
or more ago. He was brought to Hudson by
Sheriff Donohue and Jailed until q salts
factory settlement could be secured. The
matter was fixed up and withdrawn from the
courts by an agreement by Gavin to pay the
wife $1,000 in weekly payments of Sc.
Browne, the manager, went security for
half of the amount and Gavin gave his note
for the balance. He left for Chippewa Falls
to-day, where his company opened an en-
gagement. 1t will be remembered that the
rejected Mrs. Gavin attempted suicide here
q few months ago by jumping into Lake St.
CroiX from the Lakeland ferry.

AN ENGLISH SCHEME.

Plan to Solve the Silver Problen4.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 29.---The international
monetary conference met again to-day.
The delay in issuing to the delegates the
proposals of Alfred de Rothschild, one
of the representatives Of Great Britain,
was due to his asserting last night that
the proposals be modified in accordance
with suggestions made by M. Montefore
Levi, the president of the conference,
and other members. Under the scheme
to be formulated by Mr.. de Kothschild
each government represented in the con-
ference is to be associated in the pur-
chase of silver to the minimum amount
of to 100000 sterling, and is to take
fixed proportion of this amount ut
limit OF AZ pence per ounce, the pur
chases to be made direct by the treas
uries of the various countries, or through
the agency of financial institutions. It
is expected that the British delegates
will support this plan in the interest of
the Indian currency.
A Danish delegate, who is a mono
metallist, will propose the coinage of
silver 3 franc, 4 shilling or 81 pieces,
rated to gold according to the price of
silver in the year previous to the adop-
ton of an international agreement with
seignorage of 10 per cent. He will
also propose the appointment of a per-
manent international commission to fix
the initial price. Should the price Of
silver fall to 5 per cent below the coin
age ratio, the commission will have au-
thority to fix a new ratio and order the
recoinage of the pieces. These coins
will be legal tender internationally, banks
to keep them as reserve against notes
and to have the right to demand gold in
exchange for them at any time from the
government issuing the particular coin
held. Mr.. de Rothschild's proposals
were submitted to the conference this
afternoon. They covered eleven printed
octave pages. Mr.. de Rothschild argues

iii Thieves Hold High
jf Carnival.
Vigilantes Required.

Spokane, Wash, Special, Nov. 2s.-
Ihe series of highway robberies which
have taken place at Wenatchee on the
line of the Great Northern west of Spo-
kane, resulted last night in two murders
by robbers. Gamblers, thieves and
thugs have made that town their head
quarters, reaping a rich harvest from
railroad construction men, who usually
visited the town to get their money and
then proceeded to spend it in the saloons
and gambling houses. Hold-ups became
so frequent that it was unsafe to go on
the streets at night, and not until last
nights murder did citizens unite to drive
the laWless element from the town. Jo-
seph Cooper and two friends were walk
ing from the depot to the hotel after
dark last night and while passing dark
place We're confronted by two men who
commanded them to hold up their hands.
Cooper's friends obeyed instantly, for
the strangers had them covered. Cooper,
who was noted for his fearlessness, cool
ly asked in response to the command,
What do you want?'' At that instant
one of the robbers fired and Cooper fell,
shot through the head At the ap-
proach of other persons attracted by the
shot, the robbers fled. Cooper lived six
hours after receiving the wound, but
never regained consciousness. No clue
to the murderers.
John McVicar, an old, helpless man,
living short distance from Wenatchee,
was also murdered last night. He lived
alone in hut and was supposed to have
considerable money. His body was found
in the morning near his hut with the head
cut open and a bullet hole through the
body. The people are becoming alarmed
and protective association, similar in
purpose to a vigilance committee, will
be organized. A similar organization al
ready exists among railroad men. A
general routing out of all lawlessness is
to be inaugurated.
