TROUBLE FOR VENEZUELA.
Her Highhanded Treatment Of Americans viii
ee Promptly Attended to.

New York, Dec. 19-The Tribune
says:
a cable message has been received at
the offices OF the National Asphalt Co.
from its agent in Venezuela which an
nounces, that revolution has broken
out. in that country. No details were
contained in the message. ;t
The revolution, il is said, is. probably
the outcome of an attempt on the part
Of the President and cabinet of Ven
ezuela to deprive the American cor
porations Of their property and rights.
The National Asphalt co. will be a suf-
ferer il this be true. The company
owns large concessions and mining
titles in the state Of Bedmudez. Vene-
zuela. The company has been in actual
possession OF the Bermudez asphalt
lake for IL years and in this time 1t
has founded the village OF Guanaco
and erected buildings, shops and a rail-
road.
Several attempts have been made by
the government Of Venezuela TO cancel
the company's concessions but these
attempts have always failed.
On Dec. 10. Pres Castro personally
told United States Minister Loomis at
Caracas that two government commits
sions had proved the companys right
TO It's property. Later on the same
day, II is alleged. the President seized
the entire property and divided IL
among others.
Gen. a. ID. Andrews, vice president OF
the company has appealed TO the Unit
ed states government for assistance.

According to the Daily Mail private

that the invading Beers are receiving

SILVER REPUBLICANS


Kansas City. July 5-The silver re-
publican national convention spent all
of today waiting for the report OF the
committee on resolutions. So much
developed in tn" subcommittee
to which the drafting Of the platform
had been referred, it was not until late
this afternoon that a formal enuncia-
ton of the party's principles was in
readiness to be presented to the full
committee. The committee on resolu-
lions promptly voted approval Of the
sub-cOmmittee's work. The main point
of difference lay in the attitude of the
party on expansion. and on this point
both the subcommittee and the full
committee were divided, practically on
geographical lines, the eastern men,
bers favoring a condemnation of i'm
perialism, while most of the members
from the western states opposed this
course. The plan denOunCing imperial
ism was finally adopted, and in this
shape the platform will be presented to
the convention tomorrow. Nearly the
entire time of the morning and after
noon sessions was spent in listening to
speeches.

a 16 to / plank in the platform.
The idea of announcing that the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of lG to ! is a great moral prin-
cipln' is all nonsense" said he. The
ratio is IA thing to be determined by
congress. Here we have the specific Of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory and
some of the smaller western states die
tating to such states as Ohio, Indiana,
New York and Pennsylvania. 1t is alb
surd. Bryan is honest and earnest, but
he is surrounded by a lot of people who
evidently control his views. 1t would
he simply impossible to carry Ohio or
Indiana on any such platform as is sug-
gested by the majority of the resolu-
lions committee. The Germans will
vote solidly against US. 1t forces 16 to
] to the front as a paramount issue Of
the campaign. 1t is not that; but he
democratic party will have to defend
it from the minute the platform with
a 16 to | declaration in it is adopted.

ANALYSIS OF THE VOTE.
States Demanding a Specific Plank
Have a Third OF Electoral College.

Kansas City. July 5.-rhose who ara
opposed to the placing Of a specific free
silver plank in the democratic plat
form have been making an analysis
of the vote of the committee on resolu-
lions in recommending such a plank.
Senator Money makes the statement
that Of the $50 delegates represented
in the convention the states which
voted the plank represent but III del
egates. A more torceful showing is
made in the analysis Of the electoral
vote represented in the convention and
in the committee. The vote for the 10
to | plank represents states which nave
an electoral vote Of Isl, while the votes
against 16 to | represents states having
2S7 electoral votes. The states which
voted in the committee for l6 to gave
Bryan 81 electoral votes in 1896.

Kansas City, July 5.-1t was late
this afternoon when the convention
vas at last face to face with the presi-
Dental nomination. Earlier in the day
there had been tedious delays, due to
the inability of the platform commit
tee to reconcile differences and present
a report. Until this was ready the con-
vention managers beguiled the time by
putting forward speakers of more or
less prominenc, 70 keep the vast audi
ence from becoming o restless.
The first session, beginning at 10
o'clock this morning, was entirely
fruitless of results. and it was not un-
til late in the afternoon when the sec
ond session had begun, that the plat
form committee was at last able to re-
port an agreement. Already its main
features, %embodying the 16 to l princi-
pie. had become known to the dele
gates, and there was little delay in CIV
ing it unanimous approval. This re-
moved the last chance for an open rup-
ture on questions of principle, and left
the way clear for the supreme event OF
the day-the nomination of the presi-
dental candidate. The vast auditori'
