Senior Andrede Says the Venezuela
American Relation is Very Close.
Washington,Jul 1.-Senor Andrede.
Jr., son of the Venezuelan minister,
returned from a months stay in Ven
ezuela. He says the spirit of friend
ship for the United States is very
marked. The American colony at
Caracas has grown to large proper
lions and United States capital is be-
ing extensively invested.
Among the Americans, President
Crespo, is much liked and most cor
dial relations exist between them.
The syndicate of capitalists from
this country, which secured large con-
cessions along the Orinoco, is pushing
its work, locating plants and assemo-
ling machinery at the most desirable
points.
The sentiment in the interior is
shown by the determination of Gov
ernor Andrede Of the state Of Miranda
to erect a column at the state capital
July 4 in honor of the Americans who
aided Venezuela in 1906. The COVER
nor is a brother of the minister here.
and his action is in line with that of
the general government, which will
dedicate a bronze column July to
American heroes.
Mr.. Andrede says President Crespo's
recent decree extending amnesty to
all political refugees is expected to
bring important results. IL applies
not only to those connected with tie
last uprising, but to many promi ent
Yenezuelans living in Paris, lew
York and elsewhere. They have Been

try in the past, and President Crespo'
effort to get them back has giveIh
much public satisfaction.

NEW DISPENSARY LAW.
South Carolina DOdging the Inter-
state Commerce Issue.

COLUMBIA. S. c., March 5-The an
nual session of the General Assembly
of South Carolina, which began two
months ago, is about TO end The final
adjournment is fixed for Saturday morn
ing The administration waited until
two days ago TO strike out all after the
enacting words of House bill relat-
ing 10 the dispensary system, and SUBJ
stitute a brand-new dispensary law, in
tended to dodge the issue upon which
the United States Supreme Court is
soon TO pass-the interstate commerce
feature. This bin was rushed through
the Senate and made it's first appearance
in the House last night. Tonight it
is an act, entitled an act Ito provide
for the election Of a State board Of con-
troll, and to further regulate the sale
and consumption, transportation, and
disposition of intoxicating and alcoholic
liquors or liquids in the State and pre-
scribes further penalties for violation OF
the dispensary laws.
The House was asked last night to pass
the bill without even seeing 1t or
hearing II read. The members de-
manded that it be printed. This was
done. This morning, when 1t appeared
printed, several glaring omissions and
errors appeared The bill being in the
nature of an amendment, the House
could not make even verbal amendments.
1t refused to concur in the amendment.
and then il was sent to a committee
on free conference, which made the
changes. Tonight the bill became an
act
The new bill provides for the election
of a State commissioner by the people.
His salary is to be 81 800 a year
A State board of control is to be
elected by the General Assembly, to have
control OF all the purchases. This takes
the control of the business out of the
hands of the State officers.
The references TO the handling OF H.
quors by common carriers are all made
to apply TO shipments from place to
place within the State"
Another provision says that all IL
uuors shipped into this State shall
upon Introduction and arrival In this
State, be subject to the operation and
effect Of this law"
The other provisions of the law are
pretty much the same as those OF the
old law.
In regard to the operations OF the dis
pensary law, the State Treasurer Is
out In card this afternoon. saying
that the concern has had practiclly no
cash to It's credit In the State Treasury
since November last.
