New York, Nov "A special to the
Herald from the Barbados, West In
dies, says:
1.-THE dispute between Great Britain
and Venezuela will now assume quite
a new phase if war is declared, and it is
undoubtedly imminent 1t will be upon
a basis to which the Monroe doctrine
will not apply, and Venezuela will have
TO face the enemy without support from
the United States. Commander Fill
bert, of the Venezuela coast guard, shot
down Thomas Garcia, owner of the Brit
ish schooner Myosotis, in a most un-
nrovoked manner The British ensign
was run to the masthead of the Myoso-
tis. when the coast guard gave chase.
Nevertheless Commander Filbert open
ed fire on the vessel. Garcia fell dead,
and the others only saved their lives
bv throwing themselves fiat upon the
deck. The coast guard took the
schooner in tow to Carupono. Here
the vessel was rummaged from stem to
stern. As no contraband goods were
found on board the vessel was liber-
ated.

is SERIOUS FOR THE wHALeRs
Looks II the Entire Fleet Would BE
Cnughr in the Ice.

San Francisco, Nov. 3-The schooner
Rosario has arrived from the Arctic
ocean, bringing 5000 pounds of bone, the
residue of a catch of five whales. She
is the first of the whaling fleet to reach
port from the north, and 1t is within the
limits of possibility that she may be the
last. When she left the ocean ice was
forming very fast. and 1t was heavier
than 1t has been for many years.
The Rosario brings confirmation of
the news of a very poor catch in the
Arctic seas. From the report of the
Rosario 1t looks as If the entire fleet
would be caught in the ice. This is
considered by whaling men to be very
serious state of affairs.
The steam whalers are amply provid-
ed with stores with which to spend an
other winter in the ice, but sailing ves-
sells are under much less favorable con-
ditions.
The majority OF the barks are pro-
visioned with only enough stores to
last them through the summer, and If
they are compelled to spend the winter
In the north starvation stares the whal-
ers in the face

trlct Attorney Graham began his ad-
dress at 1855 o'clock. He said: "The
commonwealth of PENNSYLVANIA is the
prosecutor of this case and it asks
no victim. If you are satisfied. when
we have done, that this prisoner did not
commit the crime, you must acquit him.
The commonwealth is bound to prove
It's case from the initial step down to
the last syllable of the sentence. The
commonwealth has done so. One by

The district attorney reviewed the
evidence in detail. The condition of
the body he contended medical testi-
mony had proved could not be produc-
ed except by chloroform.
Graham's address, which was con-
fined for the most part to review of
the details of evidence, lasted two
hours and half Holmes nervously

tones of the prosecutor rang out. At

Two Sets of Reports VIII BE Sent ont
Next Tuesday Night.


Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov 3.-There have
heretofore been agreements between
the republican and democratic state
committees in Ohio on a comparison of
the vote for gains or losses. The West
ern Union Telegraph Company will
prepare it's bulletins here as fast as the
precincts are heard from.
superintendent I. N. Miller conferred
with the state committees this year, as
usual The democrats wanted to com
pare the vote with that of 1894, when
the republican plurality was $4,000 for
secretary of state. The republicans
wanted to compare the vote with that
for governor in 1898, when McKinley's
plurality was $1,000.
Mr.. Miller has decided to compare the
vote with that of 1893, because the tick
cts are the same as two years ago for
governor, etc, while last year only
minor state officers were elected.
The democratic state committee will,
however, compare with 1894, and there
will be two sets of reports next Tues
day night.
