NOTHING FROM scRuees.
The State Department. Doesn't BeIiev
the Ysnszuela Story.

The State Department Doesn't Believe
the Venezuela Story.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 27-The State De-
partment is not cognizant Of any addi-
tioual trouble between the United States
authorities in Venezuela and the recog-
nized Government Of that country.
Secretary Foster said to-day that he had
heard notLin from Minister Scruggs bear
ing on the report circulated in New York
by the Venezuelan revolutionists there
that the steamship Caracas, flying the
United States flag, had been boarded at
La Guayra by Pulido's soldiers and in
suits offered, followed by refusal to
apologize.
Secretary Foster said he had received a
despatch from MIR. Scruggs on Saturday
last, and that there was nothing in the
message to indicate that the Minister
was practically prisoner, as stated by
the revolutionists in New York, or that
the relations between this Government
and Venezuela were strained.
Mr. Foster added that the Department
had been in free communication with
Mr.. Scruggs and he could hardly credit
the report of interference with his
liberty.

SAYS HE is THE MURDERER.
William Lewis Accuses Himself of Killing
Rose Amber.

BRDGEPoRT, Conn, Sep 27.-William
Lewis of Stratford got into a barroom
dght in this city on Saturday night and
was struck over the head. A few hours
later he was found unconscious on the
road home and was taken to the hospital.
There the physicians learned that his skull
was fractured. His condition is precari-
Gus. He was delirious yesterday, and his
rawlings have caused sensation.
When the country was excited over tn Q
Rose Amber murder mystery in STRAIT
ford, in 1888, Lewis was suspected. The
evidence seemed TO be strong but the
ooroner's jury refused to hold him. While
stoutly maintaining his innocence he
told contradictory stories, and for time
his case looked black. He had at one
time been in love with the girl, but she
had married another man.
In his rawlings now he talks about Rose
and cries out that he murdered her. The
mans condition is somewat improved,
there is small chance of his recovery.

TIN PLATE.

The current issue of the american
architect and Building NeUs has an
exhaustive non political article which
is blow between the eyes for the pro-
British howlers against American tin
plate. 1t names the forty-two estab-
lishments in operation or preparing to
make tin or tern plate in the United
States, and to this list must be added
large steel rail mills preparing to an
mex the tin plate industry. There are
nearly five hundred rolling mills in
the United States, of which already
eighty roll sheet iron which can read
lily be eturned into sheets for coating
with tin. Let workingmen aud others
ponder on this comment Of the Anleri-
toaH Architcct
Very much depends as to the future
investment of capital in making and
coating Of plates ou the outcome of
the autumnal Presidential election.
The sentiment among manufacture
ers is that If four years more adhesion
TO existing policy can be assured, that
many works will be put into shape
for making and coating plates, and a
large amount of capital invested in
this industry.

This Time the Jury Finds Him Guilty Of
Manslaughter, First Degree.
New YORK, Sep. 27.-The second trial
of Burton c. Webster, on the charge that
he shot Broker Charles e. Goodwin to
death at the Percival Flats, Aug. 2, 1891,
ended yesterday afternoon, and the jury
came into court at l1;3O last night with
verdict of manslaughter in the first
degree The jury at the former trial
disagreed.
A much stronger case has been made
against Webster in this trial by the Dis
trict Attorney, who was confident that a
verdict Of guilty would be found,
Webster's defense was on the same line
as that produced on the former trial.
This was that he went to Goodwn's
apartments to resent an alleged insult TO
his (Webster's) Common law" wife, an
actress known as Evelyn Granville, and
that in defending himself from assault
at the hands of Goodwin, he was forced
to use his pistol with fatal effect
The case has attracted wide attention.

THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.

Notes from One of Our Thriving Cisat-
luntio Neighbors.
The list of the principal cities Of
the Argentine Republic, given by
Don Juan S. Attwell in the New
England Magazine, shows that things
are booming in South America
as well as in North. 1t is as
follows: The capital, Buenos Aires;
La Plata, capital of the province Of
Buenos Aires; Chivilcoy, Dolores and
Bahia Blanca, in the province Of Buenos
Aires; Rosario, in the province of Santa
Fe; Cordoba, Corrientres, Entire Rios,
Santa Fe, San Juan, San Luis, Men
doza, Catamarca, Tucuman, La Rioja,
Santiago del Estero, Salta and Jujui,
all capitals of provinces of the same
name. The principal seaports are
Buenos Aires, Rosario, La Plata and
Bahia Blanca. Rosario is in the prov
ince of Santa Fe, situated on the banks
of the Parena river, and many of the
products of the northern provinces
are exported by way of Rosario,
which is city of some SO,-
900 inhabitants. Bahia Blanca is
situated in the southwesternmost
part of the province of Buenos Aires,
being city of some 10000 inhabitants.
The foundation of La Plata was laid in
1880, and now it has one of the best
cities in South America, built on the
same plan as Washington, d. G. Its
public buildings are monumental, its
harbor one of the finest in the world
and its population has grown during
the last decade from nothing to 10000

but economical OF time, and therefore
desirable. The plan is 10 have at each

States In Convention.
NEWARK, N. j., Sep. 27.-The German
Catholic societies in convention here are
now down TO actual business At a
meeting yesterday afternoon resolutions
we're offered which will be formally acted
upon on Wednesday. Several thousand
visiting delegates are in town, represent
ing both clergy and laity of the German

-Four thousand people, representing 30

through the principal streets. The three
grand marshals were John B. Oelkers.
Jacob Kaiser and George Brueckuer.
There were 76 mounted aids and 80 bands
of music. The different societies carried
different colored lights and formed one of
the finest pageants the city has ever seen.
The procession was disbanded at Gale
donian Park, where the opening exercises
Of the four days session were held.
The big hall was packed to the doors
when the evening session was begun.
Bishop Wigger, of the diocese of Newark,
presided. After a brief speech of well
come in German he introduced James f.
Connolly, Controller of the City of New
ark, who, in the absence of the Mayor,
welcomed the delegates to the city.
He was followed by State Senator
Michael q. Barrett, who said that he had
been requested by Gov. Albeit to say
that business prevented him from being
present, but that he would be with the
Congress to-day. This was greeted with
loud and prolougued cheering.

or Was 1t Simply Case of Animal OBJ

Houzean de la Hale, says the st.

20 to the shore looking for the food
which the boats were sure to bring in.
Now, the owner of this pet pelican,
although a rough fisherman, was Of a
pious turn of mind and always observed
Sabbath. The pelican was not long in
learning this and the fact that he was
unwillingly made TO observe a forced
fast every seventh day. Within short
time he had such a clear idea Of the
regular return Of the day that he would
sit motionless all day on Sunday on a
tree near the house without once at
tempting to 60 to the beach for his
daily allowance of refuse fish-trim-
mings. Nine. Roger, in commenting on
this remarkable exhibition of reason
ing faculties in bird says: at Is not
necessary TO suppose that the pelican
has learned to count the six days, at
the end of which time its masters would
not go fishing, but while it really esti-
mated daily the time when 1t must
make its excursions to the beach, it
was informed of the return of Sunday
by what was going on at the house, as,
for instance, the fishermen putting on
their Sunday clothes. In the same way
the dog knows when his master is ready
to start on a hunt by seeing him with
