,ncededly depends in some measure
At least on the possession OF her gold
h-ld= now claimed by the adjoining
colony Of British Guiana, il shown in
the attitude OF Germany towards the
representative Of the republic during
the pat GUNNER The legation ia this
city learna from the latest mail from Ca
racas that the mission sent TO Berlin to
.ecnre q loan has igst returned after
mott gratifying SUCCESS. Senor BruzuaI,
Minister OF public Works, and his Chief
secretary, Manuel Rvengs, were sent
abroad aeyeral months ago 10 negotiate
loan Of 30 100000 boliyera ($l0,000,-
900 with which to pay the seven per
cent. guaranteed by the government
on railroads constructed by German
contractors. Ia Berlin they not only
secured the money in gold without any
difficulty, but they were invited to
dine with the emperor, who decorated
them with Imperial orders. They also
entered into a provisional agreement
with the Berlin bankers for the estab,
lishment in Caracas of German bank,
of which large block OF stock was re-
served for Venezuelan investment.
Already the foreign commerce Of the
republic is in German hands. The i'm
ports, especially dry goods and cloths,
are almost wholly German, and it IL
thought the new bank will give fresh
impetus to closer trade relations.

4 prominent and influential citizen
of Shenandoah county, Virginia, here
to-day, says the feeling against Gov
ernor O'Ferrall in that county is very
bitter, so intense that had the Govern
or gone to Woodstock to speak, as it
was reported he intended doing, the
more orderly portion Of the citizens
there would have had great trouble in
preventing hostile demonstration
