VENEZUELA is NOT HUMBLE.
She VIII Give England the Cold Shoul-
der If Uncle Sa Advises 1t.

The Venezuelan minister, Mr.. Andrado.
is in receipt of mail advices to-day dated
at Caracas on the goth instant.
His letters contain no reference to the
''ultimatum' said to have been sent by
the British foreign office to President
Crespo, and it is presumed from this fact
that IL had not only not reached Venezuela
week ago, but that no knowledge of its
being In transit had been received.
The Venezuelan authorities will, it is
! said, make no reply to the Salisbury govern
ment or even indicate the nature OF their
reply until they shall first have acquainted
themselves with the temper Of the Ameri-
can government. Whatever advices the
State Department will give TO Venezuela
Will be rigidly folio wed.
The Venezuelans have been taught to he
lieve, from the utterances of the American
press, and from the attitude OF the late
Congress. that the United States will sup
port them in any dispute with Great Britain
which may result from a violation of the
Monroe doctrine.
If Congress and the President should de-
cline to interfere further than to use the
good Offices of this government, it is diff
ficult to tell what course Venezuela will
follow.
While a war between South Ameri-
can republic aud Great Britain would
seem at first glance to be n very one sided
affair, IL Is Clalt1eu tnat venezuela Qas
some advantages which would neutral
fze to a certain extent the great wealth
and numerical strength of her great ad-
versary.
1t is pointed out that the venezuelans
would be fighting on their own territory,
and that, being brave and warlike peo-
pie, they could put force sufficiently
large in the field TO embarrass any army
which Great Britain might send against
them.
In the second place they would have the
strong moral and material support OF all
the Central and South American republics,
including Mexico, as well as the hearty
sympathy Of all the people of the United
States.
1t is believed, therefore, that, no mat
ter what the attitude of this country may
be, Venezuela will neither apologize for
the Uruan incident nor pay dollar in the
way of an indemnity for the arrest Of the
three colonial police in November last.

MODERN LABOR SYSTEMS
Commissioner Wright Analyzes
Them in an Interesting Lecture.
1t Was Delivered Before the Bethel
Association and Heard by a
Large Audience.

Commissioner OF labor Carroll u. Wright
lectured last evening before the Bethel
Literary and Historical Association at
Metropolitan African NJ. Z. Church, on The
heia..'n to ti.e a..L.in 8, Sc III VI INDUSTRY
TO Intellectual Development"
The lecture was impressive and was a
clear picture OF the economic age. After
q selection by the Metropolitan choir and
prayer by The pastor OF .rhe church, Rev.
Dr. Jennircr, L. A. Clarke. PRESIDENT OF
the assoclatIun, Introduced Commissioner
Wright. lie opened by stating that the
rciauon OF wnat Is called the modern
system or INDUSTRY to intellectual stImu-
lauon, and even 10 the lcrct. 1t exercises
III ueV elopIDg ana sustaining not OH! scnoOIs
for the MASSES but higher mstiluuons OF
learning, is not generally unuerstoOd; IN
fact, 10y many, the present system is sup
poScu I.s.,r a LH .,riing iiIIueICe IN Int
direction named. ri
Commissioner Wright Atated that this
supposition arises from superficial eX-
animation of modern Establishments where
lii cheap and OFTEN an ignorant body of
iaborerS is employed, the appearance being
that skilled and inieDigcot wotk,nen are
constantly being replaced 10y unskilled and
uninrelIigfDt workmen, this appearance
leading 10 the fasc conclusion that the
bNsttUl Oi
telligent workman downward in the scale
OF civilization.
The scientiiic student of sociology reaches
4 directly opposite conclusion. To him the
modern. system of industry gives the in
telligent workman an opportunity to rise
in the scale OF employment, in intellectual
development, in educational requirements,
and in the grade OF service rendered, while
at the same time IL enables what was an
uninteliigeDt body of workers to be em-
pioyed in such ways under such conditions,
and surrounded by such stimulating inilu-
ences, that they in turn become intclli-
gent, and crowd upward into the positions
formerly occupied by their predecessors.
This conclusion, to my own mind, is the
true one, and makes the discussion OF the
question as to whether the modern system
OF industry really has stimulating effect
upon the intellectual growth of the people,
not only an interesting one, but one Pc
culiarly appropriate at this time. Every
person is more or less closely allied 10 tho
industrial order, the alliance being one OF
degree, rather than of fact. The industrial
field is now open TO women as well as to
men, and the scale in il is being run from the
lowest to the highest point and success in
of the real spiritual influence of industry
and the relation which all bear to It,"
Commissioner Wright spoke eloqucntiy
along these lines for fifty minutes. AT the
close of the talk several members of the
association congratulated the Commissioner
and themselves on the lecture.

FORT MYER STRIKE.
What the Contractor and the Mep
Have to Saw.

Have to Say.
Mr.. James Hs Grant. the contractor for
the building of the Officers quarters, bar
racks, and guard-house at Fort Myer, who
was reported as having trouble with his
hands, was called on last evening at his
home by The Times and asked for state
ment in reference to the alleged strike.
The contract, he said, was a very large
one and has been progressing very slowly.
In fact, SO much So, that the officers
complained OF the delay. All this while
he had Mr.. McGee employed as foreman.
Thinking that he might hasten the work
he divided the force and put Mr.. Charles
Sanford In charge OF one of the gangs.
Everything was working very smoothly
and rapidly until last Saturday, when Mr..
Sanford had finished the work in one of
the buildings, he told him to move up
and take charge OF another.
This, II appears did not suit Mr. McGee's
idea OF how things should be done, so he
told Mr.. Grant that in that case he could
get Mr. Sanford to finish the whole con-
tract and that he would Quit And he did.
and all the men working under him and
some OF those with Mr.. Sanford thre "
down their tools and walked out.
Mr.. Grant said he did not know whether
the men were union men or not, nor did he
care. All he wanted was their work and
he paid for It. Since Monday, Mr.. Grant
says, several OF the men who went out"
had come back and acknowledged that
they were at fault and asked to be taken
back. He referred them to Mr.. Sanford, and
believes they have been given work.
Some of the carpenters and laborers who
quit work on Monday we're also Inter
viewed. They complain that after stand
ing the heat OF the summer, now, when the
hufldfnps sn far lhva prpE fn afford
shelter, that 1T was unjust that they and
their foreman. Mr.. Niece. shonld not
get the advantage of 1t. They speak of
Mr. Sanford in any but complimentary
terms. referring to -im as This n ~ and
an "intcr,opcr.'' They acted, they say.
from principle, and would prefer to starve
than have him supersede Mr.. MCGEE.

The morning times., 1895-10-30

When the clevens of the Central High
School and the Columbia College lined up
for the first contest of the season at Ma
tional Park yesterday AFTERNOON there was
quite little crowd uf football enthusiasts
and friends and admirers of the two insti-
tutions ON hand. True, the grand stand
was not packed to oyerflowing. and by
actual count there were only 227 people
passed through the gate, but 1t was such a
gay crowd that it seemed as II it was
several times as large as 1t really was.
the larger parl OF tre attendance was
drawn from the ranks OF the High
School pupils, who rooted so hard and
perSistcntly for their team that the Column
bia girls and boys only had "A chance to
get III n college yell semi ni-Occasionally.
They did their share, however, and with the
assistance of tin horns made the welkin
ring during the progress of the game.
COULD NOT SAVE THEM
Despite their many supporters the High
School lads were doomed To- meet defeat.
They put up good game ami showed that
they are capable Of doing much better after
n little more practice. but the line of the
Varsity team proved too strong for them
and at the close of the game the score stood
10 10 in favor OF the ColunIbias.
The game was more in the nature OF a
practice affair than n downright fight
for blood, and the High Schoolers kept a
dilieent watch for weak spots in the line,
so that they can be strengthened for the
next contest.
The Columbian eleven lined up their
strongest team, and il viii be formidable
one for the local teams if they continue
to play with the snap and vim that charac-
terized yesterdays game.
The college team was made up OF Harlan,
yyhn "a fai
and gives promise of great things; Cum
nlings. right guard; Pollard. left guard;
Shaw, right. tackle; shnster. left tackle;
Coburd, right end: Parsons. left end; Rea.d,
right halfback; Hills, left halfback; Weaver.
fullback; Beall, quarterback.
CENTRAL's LINE UP.
The line-up OF the High School was Bar
rard, center, Richmond, right guard; kim
mel, left guard; Smith, right tackle; shutter,
left tackle; Underwood, right end; Max
well. left end; Tindall, right haIr-back:
Taylor, left half-back; Oyster, =full-back,
and Jolly, quarterback.
The High School lads play was good in
tackiing, but weak in Interference. while
the COiumbias' strength lay in tackling
the center. They average much heavier
team than their opponents, and were much
more successful in heavy rush work.
In the last five minutes OF play in the
last half Tindsil did some good playing.
being given the last chance to puH th,.
Centrals out OF bad fix Smith made a
lead for him and lie dug thron., but il
was no use, and the CoIunlbias held theri
down until the referees whistle sounded
for the game to close
