Venezuela Not Satisfied.

Paris, Oct. 7.-Senor Rojas, the
Venezuelan agent here, in the course OF
an interview, said:
1.-THE award was not what hoped,
but we must make the best of it.
What can you expect in contest be-
tween an elephant and an ant: One
thing will result from it. America
will accept no more arbitrations with
Europe. You will see America laid
down fresh international code, which
she will apply to the Old World whether
the latter likes it or not The South
American states, including Brazil,
will rally around the United States for
the purpose OF effecting an economic
union. We shall try to establish a
monetary union on the basis of the gold
standard. These projects need not i'm.
ply a hostile attitude toward Europe,
but it must be borne in mind that
Europe stands in much greater need Of
us than We of her."

WAR IS INEVITABLE
Great Britain Is Massing
Her Troops.
PARLIAMENT WILL REASSEMBLE
The Government Actively Preparing ZOE
. Great struggle in South
Africa.

London, Oct. Q.-Whatever may %
the result of Great Britain's contro'
yersy with the South African republic,
every department OF the government
today is as busy as though actual hos
tilities had begun. The electric flash
that announced the mobilization OF the
army reserves and the summoning OF
parliament, set every wheel OF the gov
eminent machinery in motion. An
hour after the Gazette appeared, exc.
cutive orders were being dispatched
from the war Office to every section OF
the kingdom, and the 10000 bulletins
which appeared posted throughout the
country today are said to have been
identical with the proclamation pre-
pared for use had the Fashoda incident
required such step.
At the same time Lord Salisbury and
Mr.. Balfour were issuing the necessary
orders for the reassembling Of parlia.
ment, and the admiralty was concen.
trating its transports. So complete
were the preparations that $4,000 re.
serves have already individually received
coupon tickets which contain instruc.
tions where each man shall report for
railway transportation to the place
designated, and money order for three
shillings for provisions en- route.
At Woolwich today, it was asserted
that 95 per cent OF the reserves would
be fully equipped within six days. In
the meantime, the members OF the two
houses OF parliament are arranging to
return to London, and force OF men
is busily engaged in completing the
improvements at estminster.
The important news from South
Africa comes from Mafehing, where
twice on Saturday the British camp
was aroused, the men stood to their
arms, guns were limbered and patrols
were dispatched in the direction OF the
border. No hostilities have occurred
as yet, but the enemy has moved prac-
tically to the border, eight miles from
Mafeking, in force, estimated at least
5000, comprising five commanders.
The garrisoning and fortifying Of the
town are practically completed. The
streets are barricaded, and a perfect
system OF mines has been laid.
Two armored trains have arrived at
Mafeking, consisting of three bullet.
proof cars. the first of which carries
a searchlight, while the rest of the cars
are loop.holed. Each train is COM
plete in itself and carries its own pro.
visions.

CONDEMNED TO DEATH.
rn.ursent Omcers Of Nicaragua co"r''
Martia1ed.

Nfanayua, Nicaragua, Oct. Inc
coprt.martial which was in session mere
for several months trying, in the ao'
sence OF most OF them, the chiefs OF the
revolutionary movement which began
in February at Bluefields, has pro-
claimed its decision. General Pablo
Reeves and two or three other insurgen'
officers who escaped from Nicaragua
are condemned to suffer the extreme
penalty of the law, which is death.
Only one OF the prominent leaders was
captured. He is now in the penlten'
tiary. No public accusation was made
in these cases nor is any reason onereo
for the arrests. The sensation Is all
the greater because there have been no
indications of an uprising against Pres1'
dent Ze!aya since last February.
Such lawless acts as the government
IL committing in this regard, acts
usually at the expense of members OF
the party not in power, tend to check
the reviving activity and again to inn
pair credit. Except for such arrests
however, and the impressment into her
army, matters are fairly quiet.
Dangers Of whaleh uniting.
San Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE officers

fate Of Oscar Huschenbett. a sailor, in
the Arctic. On August 26, 1898, the
boats were lowered for an enormous
whale. Just after harpoon had been
fixed in the whales side and he had
started of at tremendous speed, Hus'
chenbett stepped carelessly into the
ropes blight. A loop caught his leg
and he was drawn into the water. In
passing out of the boat the body OF the
man hurled itself against Third Mate
Nikito and one of the crew, knocking
both overheard. The mate scrambled
up and slashed the rope into with his
knife. Then began a chase for the
whale and the body OF the man. For
three hours the monster raced and sank
to the bottom before he could he lanced

he had tainted from shock and loss OF

What more has any soldier done,
short of giving up his life? 1t was In
itself simple act, but In all the shock
and confusion OF the wreck, with the
blood flowing from wounds which for
ought he could have known might be
fatal, his mind and energy were turned
to the one duty he had to perform. That
done. the limit of his strength was
reached.
Why should not such deeds receive
formal and public recognition? Medals
and promotion, mention in official re-

as this Is that the name be published

America Leads in Coal,

According to an Interesting review Of
the coal production OF the world. pub
lished In this mornings dispatches, the
United States produces one-third OF the
entire amount, though her exports are
much behind those of, other countries,
including England. In this connection
II may be well to remark that West Vir-
ginia Is now second in the list of pro-
ducing states In the Union, with enor-
nous new developments In contempla-
ton. In the matter OF exports from
now on the United States will show
large increases. Her coal trade to for
eign ports is very likely to take rank
along with that Of other products. The
reason of this is plain enough. The
fields of Great Britain are exhausting,
as are those Of some other foreign coun-
tries.
With the construction OF the Nicara-
qua canal and the growing home de-
maud combined, there are great posi-
bilities for the coal producers of. the
country. West Virginia, with 1900 or
her $4,000 square miles OF territory un-
derlaid with large veins OF the best
bituminous coal In the world. will get n
large share Of this development Of trade
on account of her accessibility to the
seaboard, and the outlet to the south
and west and the lakes by means of her
waterways. now undergoing improve
ments. and the additional railroad facili-
ties in contemplation.
