Foreign News.
The hopes of the revolutionists
in Venezuela have been dashed by
their failure to capture the cities
they had invested. They were so
certain of success that they an
nounced that the war would be at
an end within twenty days, but the

to do. In Chicago the most i'm
posing demonstration was made by
the police For every three labor
ers in the line there was a stalwart
bluecoat. The only incident was
the capture of three red flags and
the arrest of the men who carried
them.
