Mr.. Bells Minority Report Against
the Powers Bill.
Representative Bell of Texas, a member
OF the committee on Pacific railroads. to-
day presented to the House minority re-
port against the Powers bill He opposes
the bill on the ground that it proposes to
increase the indebtedness of the Pacific
roads which Is covered by the first mort
gage, and a prior lien to the government
lien. by $4,000, ,OCO, and to make the govern
ment lien subordinate to this increased in
debtedness. He asserts that while under
the Powers plan the companies would at
tempt to give security to the government
by second lien, If the government is
obliged to take possession Of the property.
as he predicts that it would be eventually
under the Powers bill. 1t would have to as
sumo an additional debt of $16,OOOOOO He
holds that the property on which the gov
ernment would be given a second lien
would be worth less than the amount of the
first mortgage.
Mr.. Bell recommends that the indebted
ness of the roads to the government be
extended provided the companies will Sc
cure the government debt by a first mort
gage on the property, giving the govern
ment right on default to institute pro-
ceedings on the entire amount Of the roads
Indebtedness. In the event of the failure
or refusal of the roads to comply with these
conditions the government should institute
suit to foreclose and sell the property
The report strongly opposes government

1t is the intention of the silver repub,i-
cans in the House to keep a distinct or
ganlzatfon in the future Unless 1t is de-
cided to change their tactics the silver re-
publicans intend to hold a caucus when
the next Congress meets and to vote for a
nominee for Speaker. The populists will
do the same thing, and the outlook is thai
there will be four full-fedged nominees for
Speaker of the next House. Several silver
men in the House said to a Star reporter
today that either Representative Newiands
OF Nevada or Representative Hartman of
Montana will be selected as the nominee
Or course, they understand that the vote
Will be simply COMPILING ntary, but they In
tend to cast it.
Representative Bell of Colorado was re-
ferred to in the House yesterday as the
popullst nominee for Speaker The popu-
lists will decide this in caucus. Mr. Bell
ana Mr.. Skinner are the men now spoken
OF. The populists Will not meet often in
caucus with their late allies. They will eau
Gus by themselves. The talk today about the
silver republicans is significant as show
ing that they will not tie themselves to
either the democratic or populist party.
The republicans will nominate Reed for
Speaker, and the democrats will have hot
little contest to decide who shall be honored
by complimentary vote for the same po-
sition.

DIED At THE HOSPITAL.

Unknown Way.

Mr.. 4. w. Piper WINS Injured in Some
Unknown Way.
Mr.. T. w. Piper, an elderly white man,
died this afternoon at the Emergency Hos
pital. after lying unconscious ever since 3
o'clock yesterday, when he was taken to
the hospital. He was evidently suffering
from the effects of fall, but this was not
sufficient to account for his condition, and
the case has some rather curious features
Mr.. Piper was brought to the hospital from
1925 Kings court. From what can be
learned, he went to the house late Wednes-
day evening, presumably to see a colored
man who did some work for him last sum-
mer. While there he was taken sick, and
started to go into the back yard. He fell
from the steps and was hurt about the
head. He insisted that he would be all
right in the morning, and did not seem to
want to go home. He was given a bed for
the night, but yesterday morning when he
got up he bled from the nose and ears, and
soon iapsed into an unconscious condi-
tion. When taken to the hospital the
physicians decided that he had suffered
stroke Of apopleXy. He was partially
paraiyzed and seemed to be in q very bad
way. His name was learned from papers
In his pocket, and at first it was thought
ne was the manager of an opera company
week. The managers wife was summoned.
but soon learned, to her relief, that there
had been mistake. This morning the un-
fortunate man was identified as Mr. T. w,
Piper. sixty years of age, who is employed
IN the Treasury Department and lives on
y street near 18th; His family were no.
tined. and visited him at the hospital dur
Ing the forenoon. Everything possible was

POSITION OF Southern LeadeFs-The In
dOrsement of Gary.
Reference was made in The Evening
Star yesterday to the presence in the city
Of many southern republican leaders. Their
purpose in coming here was said to be to
help secure cabinet appointment for Mr.
James A. Gary of Maryland as representa-
tive Of southern republicans. 1t was set
forth also that this contingent was opposed
to the selection of John F. Hanson of
Georgia for a place in Mr.. McKinley's
cabinet. friend of Colonel Buck of
Georgia. who is one of the southern lead
ers taking part In the gathering here, told
Star reporter today that so far as Col
onel Buck was concerned the reference to
MIR. Hanson was not strictly in accordance
with the fact. Colonel Buck, he said,
was on the most friendly terms with Mr..
Hanson and favored his appointment by
Mr.. Mckinley in case Mr.. Mckinley decides
to appoint a southern man without regard
to the state whence he came. If, how
ever, 1t Is Mr.. Mckinley's intention to ap-
point man from one of the states that
gave republican majority in the late
election, Colonel Buck favored the selec-
tion of Mr.. Gary. He was not in any sense
opposed to Mr.. Hanson, but would do all
In his power to secure the appointment of
that gentleman. Nearly all the southern

ton today.
Marylanders here say that there is no
opposition at all among the leading repub-
icans of their state to the selection of Mr.
Gary.

FEELING IN VENEZUELA.

Opposition to the boundary Agree
ment-Andrade's Departure Postponed
A special cable dispatch to the New York
Journal from Caracas, Venezuela, says:
Senor Andrade, the Venezuelan minister
to the United States, was to leave today
for Washington with the cabinets approval
OF the Guiana boundary arbitration treaty,
but his Ge,,arture was suddenly STOPPED.
The interpretation put upon this move is
that public opinion has conquered, and that
Venezuela will withhold her consent to the
arrangement entered into between sSecre-
tary Olney and Lord Salisbury for the set
tlement of the dispute between this country
and Great Britain, thus multiplying all the
work that eliminated i'm this treaty.
Comments on the part of press and public
on the negotiations continue to be very bit
ter. Senior Tomas Michelena, one of the
republics greatest jurists, who was Ven-
ezuela's minister at the court of st. James
when Venezuela broke off diplomatic rela-
tions with Great Britain on account of the
boundary question, published letter this
morning which has created a sensation.
1t is an open secret that the intense feel
ing which it has engendered was the cause
of Minister Andrade's departure being so
abruptly stopped. The president and cabi-
net had hoped that their formal acceptance
of the treaty, subject, as the constitution
provides, to its ratification by congress,
would allay the public's hostility to the doc
ument, but todays developments have
alarmed them.
Neither CreSpo nor the members of his
official family are willing to try any longer
to stem the apparently irresistible tide and
Il is confidently asserted that when And
rade leaves for Washington he will bear
nothing more than diplomatic note to
Cleveland, saying that the treaty will be
duly laid before congress, when it reas-
sembleS next February, in regular session.
Michelena. in his letter, published this
morning, discusses the protocol in all its
bearings from the standpoint of a jurist,
and ends by dismissing it as absolutely
worthless.
He says, first, that the adoption of the
protocol would invest the United States
with the protectorate over this and the
other republics of South America and this
move, he thinks, would be most dangerous.
Next he regards the clause which states
that fifty years occupation shall make
good title as 'outrageously fnimical to Ven
ezuela's interest, and as wholly i'm favor
of England
So vehemently does he denounce this
clause that, basing his opinion of the whole
on IT, he declares that the treaty is san
English trick
Better lose the territory by force" are
Senor Michelena-s words, than acuuiesce
In the arbitration of the question under the
terms OF this treaty. We may regain It IL
we have to go to war over it. 1t is lost to
us forever If we accept this protocol"
Senior Michelena adds that arbitration
must be unconditional, and that above ALI.
Venezuela must be represented on the tri-
bunal.

the ex-queen may be in San Francisco a,

The queens resources have been so small
of late that the addition of a pension as a
feature of an annexation treaty might not
be unacceptable to her. She has not lived
at the palace since her deposition, but has
occupied the old Dominis homestead in a
quiet and economical style. The crown

to this city may be with the view of having
similar provision made for herself in
