RECORD OF THE TALK
On the Ven ezuelan Question Is Sent
to Germany.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The answer of
Secretary Hay as to the proposed Ger
man programme in Venezuela was COM
municated to the German government
in the shape of written memorandum
of the supplemental verbal exchanges
that had taken place in Washington
between Ambassador Won Holleben and
President Roosevelt directly and be-
tween the ambassador and Secretary
Hay at greater length. The state de-
partment positively declines to make
public the memorandum or its sub
stance but it is pointed out again that
the basis of the United States repre-
sensations is to be looked for in the
utterances of President Roosevelt in his
annual message to congress touching
to South American countries which do
not pay their debts.
Nothing has been heard from Caracas
to sustain the report that u. S. Minister
Bowen though urgent representations
has induced pOStpOnement of the ex-
ecution of the German programme. 1t
is certain that no instructions to that
effect have been given Mr.. Bowen,
though it is admitted that it would be
the duty of any United States minister
to exercise all of his powers within the
lines of the general policy of this coun-
try to prevent possible bloodshed. Con-
Trajectory evidence is had from unoffi-
cial sources of the purpose of the Ger
man government at least to delay ac-
ton against Venezuela until the issue
directed against President Castro is de-
sided

DYNAMITING FISH.
Wagon Loads Are Daily Taken From
Sallna Streams.

Salina, Kas., Dec. 31.-Almoss every
day for the past week there have been
wagon loads of fish on the streets for
sale, and the contents have been readily
disposed of. The question arises to
many, Where do they come from? These
fish range in size from to 20 pound
ers, and are of several varieties-catfish,
German carp, perch, buffalo and bass.
Cat and perch sell for cents and carp
for cents per pound The dealer in
Variably claims that the fish were
caught with hook and line, but these
statements are ridiculous, for the marks
of fish spears or dynamite can readily
be seen upon the fish.
