TO OVERTHROW CaEsPo.
Big Expedition Led by Ex-president
Monagas Leaves New York.

Big Expedition Led by Ex-president
Monagas Leaves New York.
New YORK, Dec. ga local pa
per says: From this port, on the
afternoon of Sunday, December l,
sailed a filibustering expedition
whose aim Is to take the govern
ment of Venezuela out of the
hands Of President Crespo and to
free that country from the finan-
cial and numerical distress
which the revolutionists claim
have driven them and their coun-
trymen to desperation. By this
time General Domino Monagas, the
leader Of the expedition, has prob
ably effected landing. 1t is
claimed that his arrival is all that
was necessary to put formidable
army in the field against the presi-
dent.
The expedition led by General
Manages was planned and carried
out thus far successfully by prom.
inent Venezuelans in this city and
Brooklyn. Neither the Venezue.
Ian consul general nor the minister
at Washington knew anything
about the plan to overthrow their
government. 1t is the greatest
expedition of its kind that ever
left this port, carrying as it does
enough arms and ammunition to
equip any army.
General Domingo Monagas is an
expresident of Venezuela and one
OF President Crespo's bittorest
enemies. He was one of the most
popular presidents the republic
has ever had, and although he pro-
tested that he was getting too aged
for the hardships Of warfare, the
promoters of the revolution insist
ed that he should lead the forces.

TOBACCO COMBINE.
No Dividends-Whet Has Become
of the $1,000 900 surplue.

of the So, 900 Surplus.
New YORK, Dec. 9.-The Herald
says today: The stockholders of
the American Tobacco company
are very anxious for an eXplana-
tiou from the directors OF what has
become of the big surplus Of more
than 100000 and the apparently
sudden contraction of earnings,
which led the management to pass
the next quarterly dividend on the
common stock, although the vague
statement given out on Saturday
distinctly stated that there would
be a surplus OF 81 100000 or nearly
per cent after paying the divi-
dend on the preferred stock. A re-
porter called on the treasurer, Geo.
Arents, but heArefused to be inter-
viewed. Mr.. Arents is a mem Der
of the exchange and he 10 reported
to have said that the February
dividend on the common stock OF
the American Tobacco company
would be paid and that New York
brokers advised their clients of
this fact. But now that the man.
agement has announced several
weeks before the regular time that
no such dividend would be paid,
the chief concern Of the stockhold-
ers is TO find out what is the mat.
ter with the company that so
many stockholders should try TO
get out of it at once. The investi-
eating committee which is to be
organized by Messrs. Rolston &
Bass and j. S. Bache q Co., at an
early meeting of the stockholders,
is determined to siit things to the
bottom and find out whether this
great company with $30,000,000 of
capital is being run in the interest
of spectators, who sold out all
their holdings at high prices and
then went short OF the stock, or
whether the managers have al
lowed the revenues OF the company
to be wiped out by warfare with
competitors.

RAILROAD WORKERS CONVENE
Ask Reinstatement of Lehigh VAL
ley strikers.

ley strikers.
CAsTLEToN, Pa, Dec. 9.-A con-
vention Of railroad workers from
all over the country is in session
here. A secret meeting was held
last night. Although little OF the
proceedings could be learned for
publication, it is known that the
late Lehigh Valley strike again re-
ceived attention. 1t is understood
that resolution was adopted which
will be presented TO President Will
bur, Of the Lehigh Valley, asking
him to give the men who are still
idle fair hearing and to re-em-
ploy them. An effort was made to
bring about the federation move
ment, but it was not successful.
The engineers, it seems, are OPP
posed to federation. The wages paid
the Lehigh Valley men, which are
much below the standard, was
touched upon, but nothing definite
done. Among those who addressed
the meeting were ID. Everett, third
vice. president of the Brotherhood
OF Engineers, Of Cleveland, Ohio;
G. A. Wilson, Of the Trainmen, Of
Peoria, ILL.,; E. w. Fitzpatrick, Of
Galesburg, H.; and F. w. Arnold,
Of the Firemen, Of Peoria, Ill. The
latter delivered a very spirited
speech, in the course of which he
practically Endorsed strikes and
implored Everett, of the Engineers,
to aid in securing federation.

fer of Headquarters-The Annual
Ball Etc,

New YORK, Dec. THE conven-
ton of American federation OF
labor will be opened today at
Madison Square garden. At the
meeting last night of the Central
Labor union the delegates were re-
ceived with hearty cheers aud
rounds Of applause.
Mr.. Convey, Of the coal miners of
Great Britain, said that he came
from a country where labor was
not so much divided as it is here.
Among other delegates who
spoke at the meeting were "Old
Cob" Howard OF Massachusetts,
who while chairman of the labor
committee of the state senate for
eight years succeeded in reducing
the hours of labor of cotton mill
operatives from seventy five hours
to fifty-eight hours per week. Lit
tie business will be transacted at
the convention today. The time
will be taken up with opening
ceremonies and receiving the re-
port of the committee on creden-
tials. James w. Sullivan will de-
liver an address on behalf Of or
ganiZed labor, and President John
Mcbride OF the American fedora
ton of labor will reply.
Mayor.Streng has been invited
to appear personally and greet the
delegates on behalf OF the city. The
committee which has charge of the
program for the convention de-
clares that the mayor must come
in person and not send anyone to
represent MIN.
With Gov. Morton it is different.
While he may not be able to be
present, 1t is expected that he will
extend a cordial welcome to the
delegates as the highest officer OF
the state. Wednesday evening
there will be a grand ball and re-
union of all the labor leaders at
Madison Square garden. Invita-
tions have been sent to men OF
prominence in nearly all walks OF
life.
Inc STtdUesb luVtItSU Is dlISduy
displayed in the election Of officers
and the friends of the delegates
are actively canvassing for votes.
Samuel Gompers, ex-president Of
the federation, is sure to be can
didate for the office again. Inter
est also centers in the proposition
to remove the headquarters from
Indianapolis. The convention will
remain in session for more than a
week. Important questions will
come up for debate and action.
Among matters to be considered is
the subject of a general movement
for the eight hour work day on
May l, 1896. The socialists will
endeavor to take some of the time
of the delegates. The socialists
are hostile towards the federation.
The socialiss delegates will insist
on the abolition of the strike and
the boycott, as weapon in labor
warfare, and will recommend a
strike at the ballot box.
Friday evening the socialist Ia
Dor party will lecture before the
federation convention, at mass
meeting at Cooper's hall.
