H DEPENDS ON LOOMS.
Minister Loomis Hurrying From

fer with Secretary Hay.
HAS BEEN OBJECT OF BITTER ATTACK.
Vpom the Outcome Of His Confer.
ence at Washington Will De-
pend whether or Not lie Will Re-
turn to Caracas-N0 Present In
tention Of Sending Warshtps.

Washington. April 2--Thc future OF
Minister LOOMS depends upon thecon-
4, rence which will be held at the state
department between Secretary Hay
and himself when the minister reach
es Washington. Until the secretary
has had an opportunity To talk freely
with Mr.. Loomis as to conditions IN
Venezuela il can not bc known posi-
lively whether or not he will return
10 his post.
An Object OF Hitter Attacks.
mir. LOOMS has been the object of
bitter attacks by some Of the \en-
ezuelan newspapers, not solely be-
cause Of the asphalt controversy, but
also because he was charged with
making false reports TO his govern
ment touching the insurrectionary
movement in Venezuela. The minister
did inform the state department. or
the conditions as he saw them. and OF
the prospects of the revolutionary
movement. The Venezuelan govern
ment could not have direct knowl-
edge of the minister's reports. but
because these were followed by the
appearance OF three United States
war ships in Venezuelan waters they
came to the conclusion that the minis
ter had reported as very mcnacing
and serious revolutionary move
ment which the government organs
were trying their best 10 minimize.
Therefore these papers lost no oppor-
tunity of attacking Mr.. Loomis in
print. and have succeeded in making
Ills lot unpleasant. Ii is only fair to
state that the Venezuelan charge
here asserts positively that these at
tacks were made by irresponsible
newspapers. and that the government
was not behind them and deprecated
them If Mr.. Loomis confirms this
view. and he cares TO return to Cara
cas-, he will be permitted TO do so.

For the Death of Schlaper.

Hannah Jane Schlager, widow Of
George w. Schlager, brought suit yes
terday against the Nay Aug and Elm
hurst Boulevard company to recover
damages for the death of her husband,
who was killed one night last summer,
while driving home from Elmhurst, by
falling over the boulevard bridge SPAN
ming the Erie and Wyoming tracks.
His horse became fractions at the
sight of the headlight on the locomo-
tive of an approaching train anr
backed the carriage against the guard
rail, which gave way. allowed a wheel
of the carriage to so off the prlIge
and precipitated Mr.. Schlager to the
tracks below. In falling he struck one
OF the cars OF the moving train ana
then rolled to the ground. He sus-
tained broken back and other in
jurles, and died two days later at the
Lackawanna hospital.
1t is claimed by Mrs. Schlager that
the material of the guard rail was
rotted and that it was imperfectly con-
structed. Welles & Torrey are her at
tOrneys.
