NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-With the arrival
incognfto OF General Ignacio Andrade.
Ex-President of Venezuela, in this city
Wednesday came rumoTs that a plot to
overthrow President Cipriano Castro was
TO be started here.
General Nicolas Rolando, who was Gov
ernor of the State of Guayama during An
drade's administration, said when seen at
the Hotel America:
1T is true that General Andrade ar
rived here on Wednesday from San Juan,
Porto Rico, but he has since left the city.
Where he has gone l cannot say. He
came here purely on business, and not to
plot for the overthrow OF Castro. He is
travelling incognito because he does not
wish to attract attention.
Castro is not President Of Venezuela.
He has not been elected by the people or
Congress, but obtained the Office by a
revolution. His administration has been
anything but successful, and a great many
al Andrade, although he is the rightful
President, has no desire to occupy again
the position he lost. He, however, would
like to see another man than Castro in
power"
Jose Andrade, brother of Ignacio, and
former Minister of Venezuela in Wash
ington, viii arrive in New York in few
days. Dr. Jaureguy, who was expelled
from Venezuela By Castro, is now in the
city, as are several other refugees.

nrevfus and AguinaIdo.

A lurid story comes from Havana to the
effect that ex-Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, for
merly of the French army, and martyr
to Gallic anti -Semitism. has been engaged
by Aguinaldo to reorganize the Tagal forces
for a more vigorous war against American
sovereignty in the Philippines. The report
states that this news has been received
by the Filipino Junta in Cuba in a letter
from Senator Hoar's esteemed friend and
membered with emotions of pleasure by
his other Washington admirers.
1t is unnecessary to enter upon the ques-
tions of the morals or ethics of the war
in the Philippines in this connection
Moreover, the story may not be true
AgonciIlo has not established such repu-
tation for truth and veraeity that we feel
compelled always to take his word as COS
pei But if it be true, some one among
the host of his late sympathizers in this
country who knows Dreyfus personally
should Immediately advise him that to take

disgrace and perfidy- 1t matters not
whether he may think the struggle in

bly, unbecoming in him to forget the unset

america gave him in his distress and enter

The TRUSTS aud the Strike.

On the one side the news from the an
thracite region of Pennsylvania is that the
strike continues to gain strength steadily,
and that Notwithstanding the presence OF
armed Pinkertons and soldiers, who wers
expected to overawe the miners, the tie
up is daily becoming more and more COM
plete. On the other side we hear from
New York that through pressure brought to
bear by Marcus \. Hanna and a number OF
powerful trust magnates representing. oil,
sugar, tobacco, leather, and steel. the Coal
Trust has been brought to terms and COM
pelled to agree upon concessions to the
strikers, supposedly sufficient to keep them
quiet until after the Presidential election,
There is a great deal Of talk at Republican
headquarters and in Wall Street to the ef-
feet that the strike is practically settled.
and that within a few days the mines will
all be in operation again.
No doubt the Coal Trust is at last
grudgingly willing to make concessions,
at the dictation of all the other great
trusts. The question is whether or not
the concessions will be acceptable to the
men. 1t is of course possible that the
desperate need of the trust and OF their
political party to get the labor war out
CT the way. and, if possible, forgotten be-
fore the sixth of November, may force
them to grant the maxima of the miners
demands, but that they will do so is not
at all certain. The understanding is that
the trust will offer an alI-around advance
of ten per cent in wages. But TO accept
that would involve concessions on the part
Of the strikers which they may be un-
willing to make. For example the miners
in the Schuyikiif and Lackawanna dis
tricts demand powder at dollar and a
half, instead OF two dollars and seventy
five cents per keg, and a wage advance
of twenty per cent In other districts the
situation is similar if not identical, and
it is not possible to assume satisfactory
modus vivendi at this time
There is another reason why it would be
premature to preditt an early and amicabie
settlement 1t is the evident purpose OF
the Coal Trust magnates. while all agree
ing to offer the same terms. to do so indi-
vidually and not collectively, and to the
men of each mine separately. The obvious
pOticY OF I1tS COURSE Is ~ SD4iI dp ~
force Of the strikers. and disorganize them
SO that. after the Presidential election. 1t
will be easier to revert TO the old and op-
pressive order Of things But we are not
inclined to think that this scheme will
work The men are willing to waive the
point of recognition of their union by the
Coal Trust, but they insist that any terms
offered by it, must be submitted to del
egate convention representing all the min
ers of the entire anthracite region, and
which shall have authority TO discuss and
accept or reject them The first battle
before the mediators and their unwilling
trust coneessioners Will come over this
proposition, from which it does not neW
seem probable that the miners viii re-

INTEREST NG LEGAL DECISION.
Right of Judge to Sue in His Own
Circuit

WINCHESTER, VA, Sept. 28.-The Yir-
ginia Court Of Appeals yesterday handed
down a decision in the case Of Judge T.
w Harrison, W Roy Stephenson, and r.
E. Byrd, OF this city, against John l.
WissIer, of Shenandoah county. The
court decided in favor of the appellants
The case has attracted wide attention,
as it involves the right Of q judge to have
d case in which he is interested tried
within his Jurisdiction when another
Judge presides at the trial Judge Harri-
son, who is judge of this judicial circuit;
Mr Stephenson, and Mr.. Byrd entered
suit against Mr. Wissler to collect an at
torney's fee due them for defending him
ia case Wissler claimed that Judge
Harrison, being q Judge Of the circuit. had
no right to sue anyone or to be sued by
anyone in any county in his circuit.
Judge Nicol, of the Manassas circuit. who
was called in TO sit in the case. upheld
this view, but yesterdays decision of the
higher court reversed Judge NicoIs opin-
ion. This is the first time such a ques-
ton has ever been raised in a Virginia
court.
It is said that the effect of Judge Nieoi's
decision would have been to deprive mem
bers of the Court of Appeals, who have
jurisdiction over the whole State, from
the right to sue or to be sued.

EXPORTS TO THE EAST.
Decrease in American Shipments
to Asia and Oceanin.


to Asia and Oceanin.
August exports to Asia and Oceania show
falling off of nearly 100000 as com
pared with August of last year.
The reasons for this, it is said. are tfa
war in China and the refusal of exporters
on the Pacific Coast to furnish statements
of the value of their exports to the Ha-
Waiian Islands which they claim are no
longer foreign territory and that there
fore the Bureau Of Statistics has no au-
thofity to require statement of the guam
tity and value of merchandise passing be-
tween those islands and the United States.
The reduction in exports to China is from
$1,39 2o5 in August, 1899. to S215,590 in
August 1900, due to the existence of hos
tilities in that country. The apparent re-
duction ii exports to Hawaii Is from ST.
087. .421 in August, 189g TO nothing in 1890,
though it is probable that if the facts
were known the exports to the Hawaiian
Islands in August. 1860. would show
much larger sum than in August. 1899.
Notwithstanding these adFerse cendi
tions one Of which is real and the other
one apparent. our exports TO Asia and
Oceauia will show during the eight months
ending with August an increase Of more
than % per cent over those of the cores
increase OF per cent in our exports 10
the South American countries and IA per
cent in our exports to Europe. In no 9TH
eT part of the world do American exports
show as rapid an increase as in Asia and
Oceania.
To Japan cur exports during the eight
months ending with August amount to
more than S21 ,eG3, coo, as against s12 ,0t0.-
600 in the corresponding months of last
year; to China, cur exports in The seven
