ALL QUIET IN VENEZUELA,
And the Reported Revolution Proves to Have
Been Without Foundation.


Washington, Dec. 10.-The United
States minister ait Caracas has written
to the department.. of state calling at
tention 10 a cablsgram from Caracas that
was widely published in the United
STATES a few weeks ago, stating that a
revolution had broken out in Venezuela.
The minister states that the report was
entirely false, and deprecates the effecl.
it has had upon American interests in
that country.
He says that profound peace has pre-
vailed in Venezuela for several years,
and the Indications are That 1t will con-
tinue indefinitely.
The indications are the minister says,
that Venezuela Is about to enter upon a
m9re prosperous career than she has
ever enjoyed and that business promises
to be better.

BIG POSTAL ROBBERIES.
One Hundred Thousand Taken From Mail on
the Central of New Jersey.


New York, Dec. 10.-It was learned to-
day that one of the biggest robberies in
the history of the New York pos;office
occurred ON Nov. 9. The amount in
volved is said to be in the neighborhood
of 100000, and was missing from the
registered letters on the railway mail
service on that section of the Central
Railway of New Jersey known as the
New York, Somerville and Eastern
branch. On Nov. 1T was stated that
two bags containing $4,000 were taken.
How long the defalcasions had gone
on before that date has not yet been as
certained. Major Charles F. Lewis Of
the Philadelphia branch of the govern
ment secret service was in this city to-
day investigating the robbery, which
had been kept secret until now by the
postal authorities.

DECEM Der WHEAT
Took Slight Fall From Its High Perch-May
Go Higher, However.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-The December op-
ton kept the center of the stage in the
Chicago wheat market today and al
though 1t closed ait $1.03, four cents low
er than yesterday, the strength shown in
the early hours of the trading was suf-
ffcient to give the luckless shorts vari-
Gus styles of nervous chills. The pecul-
dar feature of the days decline Is the
fact that Ut was geDarally believed to
have been forced by the bull clique
which controls the situation. The ex-
PLANTATION givSn is that the greatest
combine formed for ysars to drive the
price to this height, will invite ship
npents of contract wheat to Chicago in
enormous quantities.
When the market opened today there
wsre offers of December at the modest
prices Of $1.o6. and selling was fairly

to attempt to take care of the peoples
money for them That is clearly not
the function of a government. The peo-
pie should be left to themselves, and not
taken under The patronizing arm of the
United Staies
But aside from this view of the mat
ter I am decidedly not in favor of plac-
ing at the disposal of the governme nit
some three or four hundred millions of
dollars as this scheme would doubtless
do and taking 1t from the savings banks
of the country. It is simply another
scheme for contracting the currency, as
1t would withdraw from local circula-
tion and centralize under federal con-
troll this enormous amount of money.
The man who has an inclination to be
thrifty can find enough chances to in
vest his savings equally as securely and
to better advantage than II he loaned
them to the government, through the
medium of the postal savings banks at
2 per cent interest. These banks would
not induce a single person who now
spends all he earns to put his money IN
them. Any business that they might do
would be taken from the savings banks,
banks who loan money in their own sec
tion, and who accommodate Their Gus
toners with loans.
"And what would we do with these
millions of dollars in the treasury
Spend them, and so increase our obhga-
tions? Invest them? In what? unHed
States bonds? Why they are already at
a premium. No, the money would prob
ably be used to retire the greenbacks,
or in some other way to contract the
currency. do not believe congress will
authorize any such scheme as this.

Against Cut-Rate Tickets.

Washington, Dec. 10.-For a long time
there has been considerable agitation
looking TO the prohibition of the sale
of cut-rate tickets by railway ticket
brokers, and bt has led to the presenta-
ton of number of petitions 10 congress
calling for legislation on the subject
The matter was taken up at todays
meeting of the commerce committee,
and 1t was decided to press the anti
scaiping bill introduced at the extra ses-
sion and all parties have been notified
of the dale designated.

Base Ball.

Inc formation OF the Webster Base
pail Association last week resulted in
the hxIng up OF the bali grounds, the
enclosing OF the same with q wire fence
and the erection OF a covered grand
stand capable OF seating 300 people.
Manager Thos. Lawler, representative
Oh the association, supervised the work,
and as a result Webster now possesses
a bail park second to none in this part
OF the state. 1t has been suggested that
the good work go on by the purchase OF
this piece OF ground for race and bicycle
track purposes. 1t il close to town and
would require but a small outlay of
money to put it in order as a park.
Trees could be planted, a small house
put up Tor a ground keepers residence
aud then the city would possess a park
suitable Tor all gatherings without going
out OF the city limits.
The ball park was dedicated yesterday
by a game between the Webster and
Andoyer ball teams, and the lads from
the west side of the county returned
home with the scalp OF the Websterites
dangling from their belts. The game
from the start was too one-sided to be
even interesting. Andoyer had their
batting eye with them, and the way they
lined out two and three baggers was a
caution. Their pitcher, Durick, was in
superb condition and had the Webster
batters entirely at his mercy. The home
team was handicapped by the fact that
their pitcher, Evans, was out OF condi :
ton, being lame aud sick, otherwise And
over would not have secured such an
easy victory. The battery work OF Dur
lex and Day and the batting OF Andover
were the features of the game, which was
marred by frequent wrangles over the
decisions OF the umpire, Swan, of And
over, who undoubtedly e~ndeavored to be
fair, but was frequently off in his decis-
ions. On balls and strikes he was decid-
edly bad, Webster getting the worst of
it, and this, with the personal guying OF
the crowd caused some OF the boys to
vehemently protest against the way
things run. Webster is a hard town on
a home nine, and it a never more fully
shown than yesterday. Quite a crowd
OF Andover and Bristol people accom-
panied the Andover team and indus
%triously ''rooted" for h eirfavorites. The
score stood 26 to 6 in favor of Andoyer.
who proved themselves, with one excep-
ton, to be a team of gentlemanly ball
tossers. The Webster boys are singing
under their defeat aud the c~onsollng
remarks thrown at them, and are pre-
pairing already for another trial OF skill
with the victors and are confident that
the result will be reversed.
