While McKeesport is thus mutterlng because one plant has been removed, it is encouraging the strikers. to the number of about 13Ooo, who have vol untarily shut off their own income and have correspondingly intsrfered with the financial adjustments of the com munity.

 From a selfish standpoint neither owes a special allegiance to the com munity. But 1t Is apparent which side the city of McKeesport planes most severely in this present emergency.

The Bermudez Co. VIII Await Decision
of Venezuelan Supreme Court.
The famous asphalt suit which has been
pending for long time before the Ven
ezuelan courts has advanced another step
toward the end. Some time ago the case
was taken before the court of last resort
the supreme court of Venezuela, at Cara
cas-, to determine the question of title to
the asphalt lakes as between the New York
and Bermudez and the Warner-Quinlan
syndicate. While this suit was pending the
Warner-Quinlan side went quietly before
one of the inferior tribunals at Caruparo
and lodged a motion to be placed in possess
sion of the asphalt lakes pending the issue
of the principal suit at Caracas. The local
tribunal found for the Warner Quinlan peo-
pie and an appeal was taken to the court
of first instance at Cumano This court
has now decided again. .-in favor of the
Warner-Quinlan syndicate, granting them
decree authorizing them to take possess

President Roosevelt to succeed Secretary

subject from Washington, either from
President Roosevelt or from any Iowa

The governor declined to state his pur-
pose in leaving the city for the east, but
said he had not been called to Washing
ton.
1t is we'll understood among politicians
that the President has definitely deter
mined upon Governor Shaw for the treas
ury portfolio. But the. governors insist
ence that he has no information on the sub
ject leaves them unable Ito discuss the
proposition. without assuming more than
they feel warranted in assuming.
The impression prevails. that Governor
Shaw probably will not accept the PROPOSE
ton. While he is well to do he has not a
large fortune, and 1t is possible he would
think himself unable to afford, in a finan-
cial sense, to accept the place. At any rate,
he could not determine the matter before
consultation with some of his friends who
are high in the councils of the party in
Iowa and the nation.

Application of COastwise shipping
Laws Being Discussed.

The officials of the War and Treasury de-
partments are giving very serious consid-
Grafton to the question raised Immediately
after the insular decisions of the Supreme
Court touching the application of the coast
wise shipping laws to the traffic between
the United States and the Philippine ISL
ands. If these laws apply then no foreign
vessel can engage in this trade. Some fig
ures have been prepared at the War De-
partment to show the present state of this
commerce, from which facts appear of the
utmost Importance to the Pacific trade as
indicating the amount of new shipping that
must be placed on the Philippine lines un-
der the American flag if the coastwise laws
are held to apply. Thus it is shown that
during the past fiscal year out of total
of 119 ships that entered at Manila and
other Philippine ports only Sc were under
the American flag. Likewise, out of the
total number of 664 ships that cleared from
the Philippines only AZ were under the
American flag. A significant feature of the
tables is the amount of the Hong Kong
trade, and from that port there came to
the Philippines pa vessels while 2S1 were
entered at Hong Kong from Manila. This
is said to point to the Importance of Hong
Kong as a free port in the line of this ex-
change. The total value of the merchan-
disc carried into the Philippines by these
ships was So, ,S1S,411, of which S3034, ,655
came from the United States. On the same
ships there was exported goods to the value
of $26, ,431 ,262 and the United States is
charged with only S2,572.02l of this trade.
