Port of Spain, Trinidad. British West
Indies, Jan. 21,-The arrivals to-day from
Venezuela confirm the reports of the ex-
istence OF a critical condition of affairs
in that republic. A former Venezuelan
minister asserts that the politicians at
Caracas are making determined raid on
the Bermudez Asphalt Company. He
adds that they tried it before on a mod
est SCALE squeezing $4,000 out of the com
pany, when United States Minister
Loomis protested and stopped further ac-
tion OF this description. The government.
the minister also says, listened to reason
then, but has now lost its head, through
greed, and offers to restore the com
pany's property for million dollars, al
though it is said to have been Illegally
taken by a dictatorial decree.
In addition, the assertion is again made
that IL foreign governments permit the
action of the Venezuelan authorities Ia
pass without some protest all foreign in
vestors Will be driven from South Amer
lea, for the latter claim they are always
being Illegally plundered. In this con
nection the assertion is made that nc
former Venezuelan government would
have dared to act as this one does toward

THE ACCOMMODATIONS TAXED.
No Arrangements Made for Circula-
ton of Bulletins.

London, Jan. %. $3.50 a. m.-Emperor
William is spending the night at Osborne,
where the Accommodations are so severly
taxed that the Battenberg children slept
Monday night at Lord Gort's residence,
East Cowes Castle, and the royal yachts
at Cowes are, being fitted up for the ac-
commodation of visitors.
The Queens illness was so sudden, and,
in the first onset, was expected to be so
brief that no arrangements were made
for the posting and circulation of bulle-
tins. An agitation is on foot to have them
posted Immediately in all postoffices
throughout the United Kingdom. At pres
ent the provinces have no means of know
ing anything except from the newspapers,
and the result is thai all kinds of base
less rumors are circulated.
Up to a late hour last evening crowds
were gathered in the vicinity of Buck
ingham Palace and Marlborough House,
and there was a constant stream of per-
sons anxious to enter their names on the
visitors books. On ell sides 1t is tale
of public and private engagements and
functions postponed, and a settled gloom
rests over all classes of society.
The newspaper editorials reflect this
feeling and the suspense the country is
enduring, together with the congratula-
tion and consolation derived from the
sympathy testified on all sides from
abroad.

THE EMPEROR's ARRIVAL.

j ameS Reld.
"R. Douglas Powell.
Thomas Barlow"


London, Jan. 21.-On his arrival at
Portsmouth, en- route from London to
Cowes, Emperor William was met by a
guard of honor. The party, however, dis
pensed with the usual formalities and i'm
mediately went on board the royal yacht
Alberta. AS they started for Cowes, the
band on the flagship the Majestic, struck
up the national anthem and Emperor
William, the Prince of Wales and their
royal relatives reverently barred their
heads.
When the royal party disembraked at
Cowes during the forenoon a good-sized
crowd was there to greet them. The
party drove Immediately to Osborne
House. The crowd naturally refrained
from cheering and silently took off their
hats.
The Emperor cordially and frequently
responded by bowling. They drove to Os-
borne House in open carriages. The
Prince of Wales appeared to be half dazed
and the Duke of Yorks eyes were red,
while the Duchess of Connaught did not
cease crying.
The town has settled down in patience
and sadness to await the inevitable. Never
has Emperor William arrived at any place
in England with so little eclat. No sa-
lutes were fired, no cheers were given.
The men of the guardship Australia si-
lently manned her sides. The crowd was
equally undemonstrative, the people con-
tenting themselves with barring their
heads. 1t was a greeting given to the
grandson of a dying woman rather than
to the ruler of a great ally.
After luncheon at the castle the Prince
of Wales, Emperor William and the Duke
of Connsught, rode around the grounds
and visited the local sailors home.

To TEACH RELIGION
PHILIPPINE SCHOOL act ADOPTED
BY COMMISSION.
INTENDED AS A COMPROMISE.
RELIGIOUS TEACHING TO BE PER-
MITTED IL DESIRED.

The Question Debated in the Com
mission Before the Adoption of the
Act-COmmissiOnerM Moses Opposes
Any Use of school buildings for
Religious Purposes Contrary to
the COmmlsNiOE's instructions aa
to Separation of Church and state.
Judge Tafts Substitute Adopted.
Manila, Jan. 2.-The act establishing
the Department of Public Instruction was
unanimously passed by the Philippine
Commission to-day. after a debate between
Commissioner Moses and Judge Taft over
the section permitting religious instruc-
zion in schoolhouses.
The Commissioners, originally, were
unanimously in favor of the section, but
Commissioner Moses became convinced It
was not wise, and to-day he offered an
amendment prohibiting the teaching OF re-
hgious doctrines in school buildings. He
declared the Commission would disregard
its instructions concerning the separation
of church and state II the questionable
provision" were enacted. The Commits
sioner characterized as groundless the
fears that Catholic children would not at
tend the public schools unless religious
instruction was permitted. He said the
experience with the Philippine schools
had already demonstrated this.
Referring to arguments OF the Central
Cathollca in favor of Catholic instructors
exclusively, Commissioner Moses insisted
that compromise was inadvisable when
one of tho parties was predisposed
against a compromise
Judge Taft offered substitute permit
ting teaching thrice weekly by priests
and ministers to pupils whose parents
desired that their children receive such
instruction and prescribing the dismissal
of teachers who attempt to influence pu-
pills religiously and the suspension of the
privilege of priests and ministers whose
teachings create dis.oyalty or disorder
Concerning the alleged dsobedience OF
the administrators Instructions, Judge
Taft said the question would be whether
such use of school buildings would in
volve a tax on the people. He cited the
facts that the school buildings in use
were being used for political and reliG-
ious purposes, Notwithstanding the op-
posing attitude of the Federal party lead
ers. Tho Judge said he did not believe
a majority of the party or of the people
were opposed to It, He believed the op-
position was caused chiefly by fear of &C.
clestiastic control. The Judge did not be-
lieve the hierarchy of the church would
approve of the radical propositions of the
Central Catholica. If experience proved
the wisdom of repeating the section II
would at least be after the government
had shown that II s neither pro-Protest-
ant nor pro-Caths
Commissioner ID. Joted with Commits
sioner Moses against Judge Taft on the
substitute, explaining that he questioned
whether the substitute would accomplish
the purpose sought.
After the adoption of the substitute, the
bill was passed unanimously.

THE FRENCH CHAMBER.
Count de Nun Warns the Govern
ment That 1t May Garry Its An
ti-ClericaI Campaign Too

Paris, Jan. I.-.rhe Chamber of Depu-
ties to-days resumed the debate on the law
of associations. There was a brilliant
assembly in view of Count Albert deMun.
Conservative, and M. Waldeck- Rousseau.
the premier, two of the finest orators of
the chamber, being announced to speak.
Count deMun reproached Nj. Waldeck-
Rousseau with denouncing the milliard
of frances belonging to the religious con-
gregations as an economic peril, i'm order
to revive the ancient dread of monastic
wealth and >serfdom, which had long since
disappeared Moreover, he said, this sum
was grossly exaggerated in order to Gre
ate a greater impression He warned the
governments that their policy was i'm
prudent and i'll advised NJ. Waldeck-
Rousseau, the count added, may not in
tend to carry out his designs to the end
of his anti-clerical passion. Possibly he
only intended to appease his collectivist
friends, but the latter might eventually
set him aside and carry out the work
themselves.
Count de Nun concluded with declar-
ing the object of the government was to
take teaching out of the hands of the con-
gregations.
''You have begun religious war" he
said, turning to the government benches.
"and this will weigh heavily on YOU As
to us. we shall continue to combat you,
and hope to find in this chamber a suffi-
cient number of friends and lovers of lib
erty to aid us"
The Rightists<and Centrists gave Count
de Nun a great ovation
NJ Waldeck- Rousseau replied that the
bill would be a test point as to whether
civil power or religious authority was to
have supremacy. The government. he
added, asked the chamber to continue the
confidence accorded IL during the past
eighteen months by voting this portion
of its programme. If thew (the ministers)
had not thought the house would do so.
they would no longer assume responsibil-
ity for the task they had accepted. The
premier denied that the church in any
way was threatened. declaring that the
government simply desired by the bill TO
assure peace and the ree1tlar deveIonsnent
of the institutions of the country.
mot a single CONGREGATION exists to aid
the priests of poor parishes" said the
premier. whereas a number of the lat
ter are under the tyranny of the irregu-
lar priesthood.

THE EMPRESS FREDERICK.
VictOria's Oldest Daughter May Soon
Follow Her.

London, Jan. ,22.-The following state
ment as to the condition of Dowager En-
press Frederick appears in the Daily
Chronicdle:
1T is with sincere regret that we an
nounce that the Esnpress Frederick's con-
dition has become materially worse. There
has been a serious development of the
disease from which she is suffering and
her physical pain is intense.
"All idea of any journey in pursuit of
health has been definitely abandoned, and
it is in the highest degree improbable
that she will ever leave Cronberg.
THE news that Queen Victoria is dy-
ing had a very serious effect upon her
Oldest daughter. The Dowager Empress
was very anxious to go to Osborne, and
did not abandon the hope of going until
it was reported to her that it would be
entirely impossible for her to undertake
the Journey
