Permission Is Given Castro to Bonn

In VENEZUELA
HEMPHILL FORCED
TO WITHDRAW ORDERS.
Navy Department Holds That He
Has No Right to Prevent She'll
ing of the Town so Long as the
Usual Requirements of Interna-
tional Law Are Observed.

New York, Nov. 11.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: If Cen
eral Castro observes the usual require
ments of international law, no objec-
ton will be made by the American rep
resentatives to the bombardment of the
Venezuelan port of Puerto Cabello.
Authorities here are considerably puz-
zled over the situation in Venezuela
When General Castro was leading the
insurgent forces toward Caracas his
troops occupied Puerto Cabello, out
evacuated it, and when President An
drade fled from the capital his men
holding the fort at Puerto Cabello de-
clined to surrender and blockade OF
the port was announced. This block
ade was subsequently raised, accord
ing to advices received by the state
department.
Who is holding the port is ques-
ton. General Davis, governor general
of Porto Rico, has wired that. Presl-
dent Andrade has arrived at San Juan,
and is being closely watched to prevent
the organization of an expedition de-
signed to reinState him in his native
country. General Hernandez is oppos-
ing De Castro, and it may be that his
friends are in force in Puerto Cabello.
Minister Looms advised the state de-
pdrtmenI several QdyS ago llldl 1euSi al
Castro is making preparations to re-
duce Puerto Cabello, but a report after
this announced the surrender of force
there.
Hemphill Called Down.
1t is understood that in case of bonn
bardment, Commander Hemphill, COM
handing the Detroit, now at La Guy
ara, will be ordered to Puerto Cabello
and give such protection as is proper
to American and German interests,
which he has in charge. 1t is not like
ly that Commander Hemphill will do
more than protect the consulateS and
the citizens and subjects of the two
nations from injury, in view of the ac-
ton of the navy department in calling
attention to the improperly of his ac-
ton in declaring that he would fire
upon Andrade's troops occupying the
fort commanding Puerto Cabello if they
fired on the town when it was occupied
by the forces of Castro.
Commander Hemphill's action was
plucky and his communication to the
German and American consular Off
GERS respecting the extent to which he
would go in protecting American and
German interests indicated an inten-
ton. to give them adequate protection,
but the department held he had gone
too far and sent him letter which
will probably cause him to refrain
from interfering with Castro's course
unless there should be a violation of in
ternat ional law.

Producer of Oil Who Was Driven Out

Discrimination Made Ey the Rail
road Companies-Says Attorney
General Is to Blame.

Washington, Nov. 11.-George Rice or
Marietta, O., who described himself as
"a moderate producer of oil" was be-
fore the industrial commission today.
Mr.. Rice had prepared in advance a
statement of his views upon which he
had copyrights. The pamphlet the
commission refused to receive as such,
but MIR. Rice was allowed to proceed
under the rules of the commission.
In his formal statement Mr.. Rice &C
cused the railroad companies generally
with conspiring in connection with the
Standard Oil company to drive indie
pendent refinerieS out OF the field of
activity. He gave alleged instances OF
discrimination by the railroads in favor
of the Standard Oil company previous
to the passage of the interstate COM
merce law. He asserted in one case
many years ago discrimination of $50
per cent had been made for the Stand
ard company and added that rates on
his products from Marietta were ad-
vanced in 1885 to the extent of from as
to 100 per cent. whereas, he says no
advance was made in the rates of the
Standard CnrnnaDV

Railroads That Discriminate.

Replying to the statement of Mr.. John
D. Archibald, of the Standard Oil COM
pany that his company had received no
discriminatory freight rates since the
interstate commerce law went into ef-
feet, Mr.. Rice gave numerous IN
stances of what he characterized as dis
examinations made in the interests of
the Standard company since that date.
He made charges of such favoritism
against the Southern Pacific, the Union
Pacific, the Missouri Pacific and other
railroads, saying that the charges had
been proven by him before the inter-
state commerce commission. Mr.. Rice
said he had become satisfied of the in
efficiency of the interstate commerce
commission and had instituted no pro-
ceedings before it since 1889.
He said he had not particle of con-
fidence in the truth of the letter from
numerous railroad managers, saying
there was no Discrimination in favor of
the Standard company which were read
to the commission by Mr.. Archibald.
Speaking of his personal experience,
Mr.. Rice said that his refinery at Mari
eta had been closed for the past three
years as result of these discrimina-
lions.

4 surprise

The JOURNAL acknowledges no little
establishment at the attitude of the
Baltimore Sim toward "POllution of
Water Courses" as shown in its issue
as quoted, concludes with the following
compact statement of objections to
what is presumably called "artificial
pollution -
Not only does this illegal use of running
streams menace health or deprive people Of
the use of water to which they are entitled,
but it is public disadvantage in the de
struction Of fish, thus deprving people of "A
valuable food supply, and also deprlvng
many people engaged in taking them Of their
occupation.
The issue. then, comes to this-shall
we subordinate metropolitan growth,
splendor and prestige to the promotion
of cheap water supply, or shall we
continue to build Baltimores?
Or, shall we build great manufacture
ing cities, or go fishing?
The SIN has practically narrowed
the question down to that point.
Under which King Bezonian-un
polluted water for villages, or great
cities founded upon inevitable pollu
ton?
If the Sun will pardon the JOURNALS
presumption, just one ethical, not legal
question:
Suppose the public health of city
people and the industrial welfare of
fishermen are destroyed by the pollu
ton which comes from mining opera
tions, whose interest is paramount
that of the metropolitan and fisher
man, or that of the coal operator and
miner?
That is live question up here, for
we hold that the same power which
can destroy the pul p mills can destroy
the mines.
And 90 per- cent. of the people of
Georges Creek are openly and deter
minedly hostile to destroying either.

The Cumberland Times is engaged

The independent contends that water
will not "tlow uphill''-whether with
or without circumstances, environ
ment, or such things. But an arte-
sian well that must have a pump in it
is not an artesian well, and how water
can run spontaneously out of an arte-
sian well without Glowing uphill'' is

Water.

C. f. Brandt, of Cumberland, writ
ing to the Times, of that city, says,
according to the answer of COLI
Pearre to the pulp-mill petitioners
we have artificial and natural pollution,
and from quotations which he gives, no le-
gal proceedings against the coal companies
will prevent their pollution, even if indi-
viduals or the public be injured thereby.
In this case the Potomac water will never
be tit for domestic use ifno other except mine
pollution is allowed.
In addition to the mine pollution, there
must be vast amount of impurities flow
from the pollution necessary to operate the
mines, which, if natural, cannot be prohibit
ed, and if, artificial and discontinued, would
soon render water of any kind unnecessary.
Writing later to the JOURNAL, Nh.
Brandt regrets that the newspapers
cannot favor the people with palmer
language.
If they could call things by their
right names, he thinks the people of
Cumberland would not think of drink
ing Potomac water.
But as long as some natural" things
have to be called by artificial" names,
the people will not fully comprehend
how nauseously they are victimized by
the proposition that Potomac water
will be fit to drink after the pulp mills
are gone.
He draws some instructive parallels
between "naturar and artificial"
methods of pollution, and draws them
so strongly that 90 of 100, if appealing
to the law at all, would plead for the
abolition of the natural"
But, so pleading, the community
will invoke condition under which
no water, pure or impure, will be
needed at all
