Ell PASO (Texas), Dec 26-Martin
Julian has resigned as manager for Bob
FitzsimmOns. The split is undoubtedly
due to a comparatively trivial quarrel
Fitzsimmons and his show gave an
exhibition last night in Myar's Opera
house. Half an hour before time to be-
gin Fitzsimmons discovered that a bit
of necessary material had been left in
Juarez, Mex, three and a half miles
distant. He asked Julian to send for it.
Julian refused, and offered to borrow
another for him. Fitzsimmons refused
to go on the stage without the missing
article and had words with Julian. who
tainted MIN with being a common
drunkard ard left the house.
Fitzsimmons informed the opera
house manager that there would be no
performance. The manager pacified
him by sending in posthaste for the
missing article.
Julian went 10 his room, and FitZsim-
Moons and the party gave the exhibition

bic for the statement that when Gen
eral Robert c. Schenck was Minister to
England under Grant he made a thor
ough investigation of the Venezuela
boundary question under instructions
from Secretary of State Hamilton Fish,
which covered a period of twelve
months. General Schenck went to The
Hague and to Madrid TO search through
TIE archives for facts bearing upon the
question, and in many conversations
subsequently with Dorsey General
Schenck stated that the English claim
to all lands up TO the Schomburg line
were well founded, and that serious
doubts existed as to tracts westward as
far as the Orinoco delta. Later in Wash
ington General Schenck confided to
Dorsey that "Venezuela's pretensions
had finally been disposed Of

Contract for Their Construction.


Contract for Their Construction.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Secretary
Herbert to-day, with the approval of
the President, awarded the contract
for the construction of battleships No.
) and No (the Kearsarge and her I'M
named mate) to the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock Company of
Newport News, Va, at it's bid of So
100000 for building each ship accord
ing to plans prepared by the Navy De-
partment.
The Secretary closes a long commune
cation to the President setting forth his
reason for taking this course, instead
of awarding one to San Francisco at a
greatly increased cost, or accepting the
propositions of the Cramps, as follows
ITO me it seems clear that the Depart
ment cannot undertake to say that
bid by a responsible and competent
company, fairly made after due con-
sidera ton, is lower than a fair price for
such work. This company is bidding
not only for one of these ships, but for
both, and it insists upon its right to
build both. For the Government to re-
ject the bid under these circumstances,
and insist upon paying a higher price
for the ships. or for one of them, to be
built elsewhere, on the ground that the
bid of the Newport News Company is
below the market price, would be
ruinous policy The Government is en-
titled to have its ships built at the low
est price at which it can procure the
doing of the work"

miniStration, whether the Secretary of
the Treasury, or the Director of the
Mint, or the Assistant Treasurer at
New York or a subordinate in the Col
Iectors office" he said, has been talk
ing for the last month or two in the
papers about the lack of American
credit. The only way we can know of
the lack of American credit is through
the markets of the world, and they do
not show that there is any lack of
American credit. 1t is true that the
American people should resent these re-
peated attacks upon the National credit
by men whom they have intruSted with
power and office. ii the credit of the
Government is in danger to-day, it is
because of the cooperate and I'M
called utterances of the Executive De-
partment. l propose to take up the
question when the time comes, and
show that there is not the slightest rea-
son why any man should be afraid of
American credit"

PANIC IN A CHURCH.
Wind Nearly Causes n Terrible Disas-
ter at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.-The high
wind that accompanied to-nights rain
storm nearly caused terrible disaster
at the Mariners Bethel Church at Front
ana Union streets. A Christmas tree
celebration was being held at the
church, and the little building was
packed with about 600 people, many of
whom were children. Just before 10
o'clock the merry participants in the
festival were startled by what sounded
like a heavy blow on the roof above
their heads. The noise was followed
by falling bricks and mortar, and in the
efforts to escape from the impending
danger a wild panic ensued among the
people. A rush was made for the single
exit, and women and children were
trampled under foot by the stronger in
the rush for safety About half of the
people succeeded in getting out of the
church before some of the cooler heads
in the crowd pacified the fears of the
panic-stricken people.
Although a number of people We're
knocked down in the flight from the
church, and a number of others were in
jured by the flying bricks, no one was
seriously huft.-Qn examination it was
found that about half of the roof had
been torn off.
