Treaty Ratified
BY vENEZUELANS

NEW YORK, April 5.-The World to-
morrow morning will publish the fol-
lowing copyright cable from Caracas,
Venezuela:
The congress Of Venezuela has unani-
mously ratified the Guiana arbitration
treaty with Great Britain, which was
negotiated by the United States. The
measure was first read to the house Of
representatives last Friday, when Senior
Aranguren spoke eloquently in its
favor: The second reading was without
incident. 1t came up on third reading
today (Monday), and after a speech by
Senior Bricene, the house voted for the
treaty unanimously amid great cheer
ing and enthusiastic demonstrations Of
gratitude to Uncle Sam" The treaty
was also unanimously ratified by the
senate today (Monday). President
Crespo will sign 1t next Friday.

TO PROTECT THE BRIDGE.
Boom About the Wabasha Street
Structures Weak Pier.

A force of men were busy all day yesterday
building boom about the weak pier Of the
Wabasha bridge. The boom extends from
just below the Minnesota Boat club house to
the stone pier that stands north of the wood
en- pier that is in danger. 1t was at first
thought that it might become necessary to
close the bridge to travel, but City Engineer
Rundlett decided yesterday that this would
only work hardship, as the bridge is per-
fectly safe in every other way. The club
houses on Raspberry island are still above
the danger mark, and as the flow of logs
has almost stopped, it is probable that the
damage to the houses will amount to little
or nothing.

ON A FLOATING HOUSE.
Woman and Family Rescued From
Watery Graves.

AS yet no fatalities have resulted in st.
Paul from the present high water, but there
have been many narrow escapes during the
past few days. OF these none has proved so
thrilling as that of an unknown woman and
her two small children, who were rescued
from a watery grave only by the prompt and
persistent efforts Of several sturdy bua;men.
The family was one of the colony on the low
er Polander flats, and had evidently neglected
to leave their house until they found them
selves surrounded by the rapidly rising water,
and all means of escape cut off The woman
succeeded in attracting the attention of some
men who were on dry land several blocks
away, and they at once procured boats and
started to her rescue. When they had covered
about half the distance they noticed that the
house had become looSened from its founda-
tions and afoat. Then began race for
life. The current was swift, but the men
were rapidly overtaking the house, spurred
on by the cries of the woman, who had
climbed out on the roof, to save her chill
dren. Then came an unforeseen accident; the
boats collided. and before the men could right
their crafts the house had gained quite a dis
tance on them. The woman seemed to give
up hope, and sank to the roof of the house
as il in a swoon. The men bent to their task
with renewed energy, and were soon alongside
current found that 1t was impossible TO take
the woman and children into the boats with
out great danger to all. In one Of the boats
was a large rope, and an attempt was made
to tie the house up to one Of the trees along
the shore, but it was only after several trials
that the efforts of the men were successful
and the people were taken into the boats and
brought to shore. An attempt was made to
find out the name of the family, but the
woman was Polander who did not speak one
word Of English, and both she and the chill
dren were in such an excited state OF mind
over their narrow escape from death that
nothing of an intelligent nature could be got
ten from them. None of the boatmen seemed
to know who they were.

troops took part in the action. Two
European soldiers were wounded.
ATHENS, April 5.-All the prepara-
tiOns for the celebration, tomorrow, of
the anniversary of the declaration of
Greek independence, in 1912, have been
completed. A public meeting will be
held here to protest against the action
of the powers against Greece, and to
pledge support to the Greek govern
ment in any action it may think fit
to take in the premises The decora-
tiOns of the city are being completed
At night will be brilliantly Illuminated
In this connection there has been q be-
lief that the celebration of tomorrow
would be followed by a declaration OF
war against Turkey. This is however,
not general. Tuesday in Greece is re-
garded as an unlucky day to enter
upon anything of Importance and for
this, more than other reasons political
or military, is based a hope that the
independence celebration will pass off
without the frontier incidents, which
are likely to precipitate the struggle
for which Greece has been preparing
for the past two months
Although this week is likely to be a
fateful one for Greece, the orders of
Prince Constantine, the crown prince
ana cOInmanQer-1n-Chlet OF the Greek
forces in Thessaly, are strict that any
thing in the shape of a demonstration
in the direction of the Turkish frontier
must be suppressed. The soldiers and
armed peasants, however, are in no
mood to be curbed, and nobody will
be astonished to hear of an aggressive
movement at least upon the part Of
the Greek irregulars.
The next actual step anticipated in
its Eastern game is the proclamation
of the admirals OF the foreign fleets to
blockade the gulf of Athens. This was
to have occurred today. but a hitch has
occurred at the last moment. Nobody
here seems to doubt that the blockade
of the gulf at Athens would be fol-
lowed, if not preceded, by a declaration
of war against Turkey.
LONDON, April 5.-A prominent Of
ficial of the British foreign office, whose
with a representative of the Associated
of any hitch in the powers arrange
ments. They are fully determined to
follow the course that they have agreed
authorities that the Turkish position
on the frontier is impregnable and that
any attempt of the Greeks to carry it
will result in disaster to them. / be-
lieve this opinion is shared by men,
bers of the Greek cabinet; but the
king seems to enjoy the difficult posi-
ton in which the Greek action places
the powers"

Courts Decision Gives the Miners
Strike a Body Blow.


Strike Body Blow.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. Wednesday
was operators day and from present
appearances they have made most eff
fective move and have nearly if not
quite checkmated their opponents, the
striking coal miners. The courts de-
cree in making permanent the prelimi-
nary injunction restraining the strikers
from camping, marching or in any man
ner interfering with the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company's miners
has had the effect of almost depicting
the camps about those mines, and APP
parently general decentralization
among the campers exists. Judges
Stowe and Collier handed down de-
cision in the injunction proceedings
of the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal company against the United Mine
Workers of America, Patrick Dolan,
William Warner and others. The pre-
liminary injunction was made perma-
nent and the plaintiff was ordered to
file bond of $4,000 to answer for such
damages as may be sustained by the de-
PENDANTS by reason of the injunction.
Uriah Dillingham;, in charge of the
camp at Plum Creek, put damper on
the campers at that place Wednesday.
He had just returned from the city,
where he heard the courts decision in
the injunction case. He told the men
there would be no more marching and
no need of such large number of men
at the camp. lie advised the men to
disperse to their respective homes and
get work wherever they could At this
camp where Tuesday there were 800
men, there are now less than 100.
Camp Determination, at Turtle
Creek, was reduced in numbers from
200 to so. The men who were told to go
home gathered in an angry crowd and
denounced the officials bitterly Sunny
Creek camp is practically abandoned,
and it is not known whether it will be
opened again or not. All told there are
less than $50 men now encamped about
the three mines.
In order to follow up the advantage,
the operators held a largely attended
meeting Wednesday night at the
Monongahela house and arranged for
the starting of their mines with or
without force. If force seems to be
unavoidable, it is the intention to start
a few mines at once under the protec-
ton of deputies, and whatever expense
may result will be shared pro rata by
the mine owners. This scheme to start
the mines was adopted to break the ma
tional strike in 1894. President Dolan,
of the miners organization, does not
believe the movement will be success
this time, as the strikers are more in
earnest than in any former struggle.
