General Assembly.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. II. AT the
early session Of Of the knights Of Labor
assembly, proposition from Building
Contractors Assembly No. 1862 of New
York, under the jurisdiction Of assem-
bly, No. 4y, was submitted, favoring the
restriction of immigration to $4,000 per
year, was defeated. A proposition was
also introduced and carried by narrow
margin requesting congress to enact
a law to keep out all foreign artists,
musicians and professional people.
There was a long discussion over the
civil service law, which resulted in an
endorsement of a merit system.
The general board were instructed to
urge that the government establish
postal savings banks.

spirited contest, Louisville was chosen
on the fourth ballot by narrow mar

NOT A PRoIEcToRATE.
United States Assumes No Responsibility
in the Venezuela Dispute.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The suspi-
cion in some minds that the Venezuelan
settlement will not prove as satisfactory
as it now appears is not warranted.
The fact Of this government being
made a principal in the arbitration,
while Venezuela is not interested in
the commission, is not to be interpre-
ted as tho establishment of policy of
protectorate by this country over the
smaller republics of this continent. The
first contention of Great Britain was
that if the Monroe doctrine was recog-
nized it would bar foreign governments
from one form of redress for grievances
for damages inflicted upon any of the
great powers by these small republics,
and that therefore this government
would have to stand surety for the
good conduct of the governments whom
we protect in their territory
Mr.. Olney made it very clear that
this government would not accept this
reasoning and that we would conf1ne
ourselves to one proposition, that no
foreign power should establish domin-
ion over territory on this continent.
The Corinto incident served as an OBJ
ject lesson to show where we draw the
line in the
Application of the Monroe Doctrine,
the application of this doctrine leaving
it open to the powers to exact any form
Of redress for damages see the one of
cession of territory. This was made
very clear before the agreement on
arbitration was reached and care was
taken by Mr.. Olney that action in this
case should not hereafter be interpreted
to mean that we assumed any response
bility for our sister republics. In view
of this fact the agreement Of arbitra-
tion between Great Britain and the
United States is based entirely upon the
recognition of our right to enforce the
Monroe doctrine. This government is
to be satisfied that Great Britain is not
taking possession of territory by force
which does not belong to her, and if
this fact is established our part in the
contention will end.

grounds to send the case to trial and
Ivory was formally committed.
The court refused to allow even a
written description to be published of
the witness, who seemed to fear that
such description would lead to his
death. After the close of the proceed
ings, jailor remarked to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press:

DANGEROUS BLUE HERON.
Hunters Have Been Hurt Trying to Cap
ture q Wounded Bird.

Hunters Have Been Hurt Trying to Cap
ture q Wounded Bird.
"Some of these days." said the long
shore hunter to New York Sun man,
II expect to open my daily paper and
see a headline something like this:
Killed by Blue Heron and I'll tell
you why. The blue heron is big,
powerful bird, which has already dis
figured the faces of several men. The
men have wounded bird, and then,
thinking to capture it alive, they went
up to 1t. Why, I'd as soon try to kiss
a wounded grizzly. The birds grow, as
tall as sin feet and have necks like a
fish rod and just the kind Of muscles
to move it quickest with the most
strength. They could drive their bill
points through a quarter-inch panel.
"The hunter goes up to bird and
sees 1t lying there looking as limo
cent as arobin, with only wing broken.
What a fine pet it would make the
fool hunter thinks. Then he picks the
bird up and starts for home in wagon
or a boat, with the bird between his
knees. The birds neck is drawn back
like a letter s. All of sudden the
bill shoots up and gives the man a cash
alongside the eye three inches long.
That is what always has happened. The
wounded bird has missed it's aim, but
some time, and you want to remember
it, this feathered spearman will drive
its bill into an enemy's eye, and, like a
steel umbrella stick, the point of the
bill will penetrate the mans brain. 1
guess the birds aim has always been
spoiled by the pain of its wounds, and
so many a human life has been saved. I
don't monkey with wounded bitterns,or
cranes-well, scarcely"

FARM VILLAGES IN AMERICA.
A Plan That VIII Make Rural Life More
Attractive.

A Plan That VIII Make Rural Life More
Attractive.
Hon. John Boolxwalter, of New York,
q large land owner in Nebraska, Illinois
and Ohio, proposes q plan to make life
on the farm more attractive and per-
haps to make farm work more re-
munerative. His idea was obtained
from observations in the rural districts
of France and Switzerland, and may be
productive of much good. 1t Is simply,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, to con-
centrate the rural population In viii
lagos of 500 to 5000 persons, to give
them the advantages of social life and
modern luxuries and amusements. Mr..
Bookwalter will begin on a 60,00O-acre
tract he owns in Nebraska, and pro-
poses to organize town which is to
have theater, music hall, library and
other advantages for amusement and
instruction.
In France, as is well known, the rural
population is grouped in villages, the
farms radiating in narrow strips from
the towns in the center. Mr.. Book
walter claims nothing new for his idea,
but thinks the French villages may be
improved upon in this rich, new coun-
try, where large acreage may be laid
out with the village idea, instead Of
growing by subdivision. There is no
doubt the centering of population in
this way would add greatly to the at
Effectiveness of life on the farm. The
social contact is one of the chief at
fractions of the city. Neither can there
be much doubt that such community of
the rural population would give it
greater influence in state and national
affairs, in legislation and administra-
ton. 1t would naturally lead to better
sanitary conditions, to conveniences, to
police and fire protection that are now
lacking in the widely-separated farm
houses, and all this without detracting
from the advantages of rural surround
ings, such as trees, flowers and the sup.
ply of the best and freshest that the
garden, dairy, orchard and farm can
produce.

INGENIOUS WOOD RATS.
Built House of Railroad Spikes and

Built q House of Railroad Spikes and
Lined 1t with Rags.
The wood rat of the western slopes of
the Cascade range is a curious creature
that loves to steal so well that it is
known to many as the camp robber. 1t
carries off anything it can lay its lips
to, and is besides jolly, reckless fellow.
1t does things which rodents are not
given to doing.
Forest and Stream tells of some of its
favorite spoils. It will take knives,
forks and tin plates, cartridges, cups
and anything it can handle in the line
of clothing, towels or gun rags, which
make soft Innings for its nest 1t is re-
lated how a pair of these rats staked
off claim on top of hunters camp
stove, and put up the most curious rat
house anybody had ever heard of. About
200 yards away was a railroad shanty,
where the section men kept their sup
plies, and among other things was a keg
of railroad spikes, such as are used to
fasten the rails to the ties. The rats
took some spikes to their claim, built
up an iron wall, and lined the interior
with soft stuff. 1t is curious fact that
all the points of the spikes were directed
outward, and they were laid with great
regularity and firmness.
The habits of the rat are a study for q
naturalist, and it makes things SO In
teresting for the natives that they kill
it on sight.
