Text of the New Law Adopted by
Venezuela.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The text
of the new law of Venezuela, granting
subsidies for railroad construction, has
been sent to the state department by
Consul Plumacher at Maracaibo. It
authorizes the president to grant rail-
road concessions for 100 years and ex-
elusive concessions for forty years. On
permanent roads subsidies may be
given of 10000 bolivars per 20 kilometres
of level road, 10000 bolivars on broken
or swampy roads, and 10000 bolivars
on mountain roads. On prospective
roads, the subsidies run from 10000 to
10000 bolivars per 20 kilometres. Rail-
road contractors must pay 20 bolivars
per kilometre and must deposit up to
1000 bolivars as a guaranty of com
pleting the road. Concessions cannot
be transferred to foreign governments.

preme Court.
The question as to whether. or not
bicycles are exempt from execution
Will be carried to the supreme court
by Sheriff Phillips. The case of J. F.
Shadwell VS.. H. o. Foster came UP
before Judge Elliott, in which the
question was in dispute, and the mat.
ter was taken under advisement. 1t
appears that an amendment to the law
of 1878 was passed in 1895, which in
serted bicycles in the list of exemp-
lions. In 1897 there was another
amendment which named sewing ma
chimes and typewriters, and did not
mention bicycles The claim of the
plaintiff is that the amendment set
aside all other laws, while Mr.. Lynch,
for the sheriff, claimed that the last
amendment only repealed the original
law, and left the first amendment in
1895 still standing, with the new add
lions. The matter is an important one,
and the decision will be watched with
interest.

INDEMNITY DEMANDED.
Minister Woodford Receives III
structions on the Ruiz Claim.

Washington, July 17.-This govern.
ment has instructed Minister .Woodford
to formally present to the Spanish governs
ment and press the claims of the family
OF the late DR.. Ruiz for indemnity to the
amount of $4,000, on account of his
death in Cuban jail.
Woodford's instructions, which have
just been completed, set out in detail the
reasons for the presentation of the claim.
They show that this government Is AMI
mated solely by the love of truth and
right, the spirit of justice and matured
consideration of the substantial and un-
controverted facts, and has reached the
conclusion that, under the Greatly OF
1875 and the protocol between the United
States and Spain, and of the laws made a
part of that protocol, all proceedings
against Ruiz, after his arrest and notice
given to the Spanish authorities of his
citizenship, were illegal, wrongful and
arbitrary. 1t is also held that these pro-
ceedings were in violation of his treaty
rights and resulted in his death, and
that, therefore, they warrant demands
for indemnity.
