Justice Field this week denied the
periodical rumor that he was contem-
plating an early retirement from the
bench of the Supreme Court He has
had to do this about twice year ever
since he beca me eligible for retirement.
He says he will not retire so long as
his health continues good enough for
him to perform his duties as easily as
he does now. Republicans hope that
he will not retire until after March 4,
1897, so that his successor may be Re-
publican.

Discovery Of a Revolutionary Plot
VonnznAIn

Venezuela.
NEW YORK, Jan. A special to the
World from Caracas. Venezuela, says: A
profound sensation has been caused by the
arrest of Gen. Hernogene Lopez. once
the President OF Venezuela in the time of
Guzman Blanco. The arrest was made, it
is said, because of the discovery of revolu-
tionary correspondence involving the latter.
English capitalists, il is rumored, have
approached Guzman Blanco TO stir up a
rebellion here. Among others arrested are
General Gonzales Guyana, chief OF police
under Guzman Blanco; Domingo Carbajal,
a revolutionary chief in the time of Presi-
dent Palacio; ParedeZ brothers, and Valen-
cia President Crespo is determined 10
suppress the movement at any cost. The
militia has been enrolled, but not armed
yet and probably will not be until every
thing is quiet.
Next Sunday President Crespo will issue
a printed address to the people Of Vene-
zuela, giving the actual position Of the
government on the Guiana question, ex-
pressing the gratitude of the nation to
President Cleveland for his attitude in
UNFOLDING the Monroe doctrine. so neces-
sary to the maintenance of the independence
or the Southern republics and urging the
people TO bury political dscord and present
solid front TO the English invader. At
the same time General Crespo counsels the
people to be calm, to refrain from vio-
lence and to await the action of the United
State. The address will be read in the
Plazas of the different cities. There will
also be speeches, music and fireworks.

Preliminary Work of Selecting Head
quarters Begun.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A search is be-
ing made for quarters for the Venezuelan

The Pension Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The three Re-
publican members of the subcommittee on
pensions of the House committee on appro-
priations, Messrs. w. A. Stone, OF Pennsyl-
vania, Northay, of Ohio and Blue, of KAN
sas, held a conference to-day with Commits
soner Lochren over the pensions appropria-
ton bill. Mr.. Stone proposes to attach to
the bill clause designed to prevent sum-
mary reduction and suspensions of pensions
by providing that no pensions shall be re-
duced, suspended or dropped, except for
fraud in obtaining the pension established
by the verdict of a jury. The pension APP
preparation bill probably will be reported
to the House next week. AS prepared by
Mr. Corts clerk of the estimates, it provides
for $11, so for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1897, which is practically the amount
carried by the last years bill.
