VENEZUELA.
Continues to Give Cause for Trouble
1T May be Hard for
Her 30 Meet.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, March 49,
News has reached here that the Unit
ed States consular agent at BARGE
Iona, Venezuela, Mr.. Ignacio II. Baiz,
has been arrested by Venezuelan Off
Gals and imprisoned without adequate
cause. This is the second time he has
been treated in this fashion within
the last five months. and he will re-
sign unless protected by the WASH
ington government.
It appears that several sums OF
money have been forced from him by
Venezuelan officials, under threat of
Imprisonment.
The protest of Mr.. Baiz to Washing
ton seem to have been met with nc
response thus far. Three months ago
Mr.. Loon1is, the United States minis
ter at Caracas, made a demand upon
the Venezuelan government for an
apology for the first outrage, but his,
communication was quite ignored,

Dop with a Rrokep none

The long bones of the dog are those
hich he is most liable to break, or.
rather, to have broken for him. as the
injuries are usually traceable to direct
violence. When the parts of the broken
bone are properly brought together.
the reparative process is almost always
remarkably rapid in the dog. because
he seems to understand that he must
o interfere with the injured limb,
and willingly keeps quiet. John Wood
roffe Hill, the noted English veterinary
surgeon and a writer of authority on
"The Dog; Its Management and Dis
cases. says of fractures that "the
treatment consists in reducing the sep
arateG portions to their proper posi-
ton and maintaining them there, when
so reduced, by the application of splints
and bandages. Splints may be COM
posed of wood. pasteboard, leather, or
gutta percha, the first three of which
are retained in position by bandaging,
but the last is made soft by hot water
and then nodded to the limb. To take
the place of splints, bandages may be
soaked in gum. starch or plaster of
paris."-Our Animal Friends.

ADMIRED HER NEW GOWN.
Very Amusing Adventure of an English
Lady at the French
Court.

The Dowager.L Lady Carew, one of
the most popular women of England,
used to enjoy telling a story of her
presentation at the court of Louis
Philippe. She had taken with her to
Paris a dress length of Irish poplin,
which she had made up by one of the
first modistes in that city. The dress
maker went into e~cstasies over the
material, the like of which she had
never seen before, and prophesied
that it would create quite a sensation
at court, says a London exchange. As
Lord and Lady Carew we've ascending
the stairs leading to the rooms at the
Tuileries, where they were to be re-
ceived, she felt a slight pull at the
skirt of her dress. Having been
warned to beware of pickpockets,"
she turned round quickly to see who
touched her and was surprised to see
a very smartly dressed lady eNamin-
ing her dress with great curiosity.
"Je vous demande mile pardons,
madame," cried the stranger. But
would you tell me OF what your dress
is composed? I never saw anything
like it before Ut was a creamy
white poplin, embroidered all over
with tiny sprigs of gold thread.) Gi
course Lady Carew gratifed her curl
osity. adding that the work was first
introduced into Ireland by French
Huguenot refugees, and that it was
then (and is stilD carried on by their
descendants.

WHEN THE QUEEN LAUGHED.
The HabItual Gravity of Victoria Was
Overcome by a Verbose Eu-
looisf.

For many years it has been a popu-
lar belief in England that the late
queen had never been known to smile.
The hundreds of photographs of Vic
toria sold in all parts of the world in
variably show the one expression,
but, nevertheless, the queen did smile.
A number of years ago Charles
Knight, a photographer at Newport,
Isle of Wight, secured a likeness OF
her which sho VS. her not merely smil-
ing, but broadly laughing, says a Lon
don exchange.
How did it happen that such a like
ness was obtained? In this way:
The queen was visiting Newport. The
mayor of the city was presenting in q
verbose and fulsome speech a magnif-
cent bouquet. He had carefully COM
mitted the speech to memory, but
in his anxiety to make a favorable
impression with his courtly manners,
his pomp and splendor of royal velvet
and fur-trimmed robe, medals, cooked
hat and cable claims of gold he "lost
his place."
After some stammering and slut
tering he suddenly shouted: Give
forgotten the rest" and stood gazing
at the queen like a stupid schoolboY
on visitors day. Then the queer
laughed outright and the f1usteret
and heart-broken mayor dropped the
bouquet and fed. While the queen
was laughing the photographer took
the picture.

RUssIA's TROUBLES AT HOME.
stats Of Siege Prociaimrd at Odessa. Kiel
and Kharkon by Reason

st. Petersburgh, March 1s.-In con-
sequence of the riotous disturbances
following the demonstrations pro-
noted by university students, the
government has proclaimed a state OF
siege at Odessa. kietf, and Kharkotf.
1t is reliably reported here hat q
student died at Kharkoff from in
juries sustained in the disorders of
March 4 in hat city.
Eight hundred students of the Uni
versity of st. Petersburg, virtually all
remaining here, met last Friday and
resolved not to attend further lee
lures. The police subsequently ar
rested 16.
Four hundred students of the Tech
biological school entered the court
yard of the institution to hold a meet
ing, and the police inscribed all their
names.
The mining academy is already en-
tirely closed.
1t is reported that Count Tolstoi,
who ever since his accommodation,
has been loudly cheered wherever he
has made his appearance, is taking an
active part in the disturbances at
Moscow where the situation is com
plicated by a strike CT the operatives
of several large factories.

DEFEATS IT'S OWN PURPOSE.
The German Meat Inspection Law
working a Hardship at
Home.

Washington, March 1s.-The Ger
man meat inspection law absolutely
prohibiting the importation of Amer
lean corned beef, sausages, etc., which
went into effect some time ago, has
made no friends, according to a report
read at the state department from
United States Consul Diedrich, at Ber-
lin. The law has been the object of
very severe criticism in Germany, ac-
cording to the consul. and one of the
most pointed arguments against it has
been hat it defeats the avpwed pur-
pose of promoting public health be-
cause the resultant high prices on
meat lessen its consumption, while the
health of the German nation demands
an increase. The fact shat the meat
inspection law has put the prices up
is a well-established fact, according to
Consul Diedrich, and especially among
the laboring classes is the los af
American corned beef at a low figure
most strongly felt.

DEVELOPING PHILIPPINES.
ground That Would Like 10
Have the job.

In a special dispatch to the News
it was said that Senator Platt. of
Connecticut, and the other admins
tration managers, as well as the pres
ident himself, were dissatisfied with
the limitations imposed by the Phil
ippine resolutions on the granting of
franchises in the archipelago. They
are supposed to fear that this action
may be significant of a purpose to
place the Filipinos on the same basis
as the Cubans, and to give them ul-
timately control of their own gov
eminent. 1T is said that word came
from the white house that the amend
ment must be stricken out, and there
are even hints of a veto. One can
hardly resist the conclusion hat the
real objection is hat which some of
the hostile senator's are reported TIC
be making, namely, that the limita-
ton would ''retard the development
of the islands,"
This attitude will give a color OF
truth even to the most violent charges
that have been made by the demo-
Gratis in connection with the proposed
Philippine legislation. They nave not
hesitated to declare hat there were
corporations already organized, in
Guiding some army officers, that were
prepared. as soon as the way opened,
to go ahead and develop the islands,"
The American people have grown
somewhat suspicious of development
schemes in connection with our is
land possessions. And if they find
the administration and its chief sup
porters standing in the way of the
adoption of a proper restriction of
franchises-a limitation that was de-
signed to prevent exploitGtion-they
Will be likely to see in the opposition
something very like a confirmation of
their suspicious.
Frankly, we think that such unfet-
tered political power as it IS proposed
to confer on the president in the
Philippines ought to be restricted as
much as possible on the business side.
We should recognize that ever ,Ae
best men, when far from home, re-
moved from the ordinary restraints,
unrestrained by public opinion or Sc
rious fear of detection, and dealing
with a helpless-and for the 1lme be-
ing subieet-people. III in danger of

der other circumstances. Further
than this. the present administration

istration, and is subject to influences
that look on the making of money as
the chief end of man. 1t is a part of
the political creed of far too many of
our statesmen that the government
may be legitimately used to enrich
private Industries. When, therefore,
we hear such men talk of develop
ing" the Philippines we can hardly
help thinking that there are some
trusts and syndicates in the back

that the restrictions should be re-

Lord Rnts and Cardif.

The enormous wealth of the late
marquis of Butte was the inspiration
of his fathers enterprise. He, the
father, had the courage to mortgage
deeply the family estates in order to
complete the building of large docks
at a little town called Cardiff. Peo-
pie were tempted to call the docks
Bute's folly. But they became Bute's
fortune. They made Cardiff one of
the richest and largest ports in the
world, and they brought to the Butte
family a revenue that princes might
envy. Cardiff is grateful, and was
proud to have Lord Butte as mayor in
1s91-the first of a long line of may
oral peers all over the country.-Chi

RECALLED BY The MINUTE GUN


Sitting within the twilight gloom
Whose gray webs drape my darkening
room,
I hear afar a cannon boom;
A minute-gun beyond the bar,
Where white-maned waves and chaos are.
With clouds above and not a star.
And on that sound floats back to me
Another night far out at sea,
With grim Death facing you and me.
The wrack of low-hung leaden clouds,
The wall of wild winds through the
shrouds.
And frightened folk in shivering crowds.
When every wave our vessel heeIed,
And every timber racked and reeled
As near and drear deep thunder pealed.
The Ife-boats splintered one by one.
The last hope from them quilted and gone,
Deaths white-maned coursers charging
on.
l see yor;r dear lips move in prayer.
Lik si1vered seaweed seems your hair,
Never your face more fond nor fair.
And then the close clasp of your arms
Which frightened with newborn alarms.
When Death could not abate your charms.
Then hours afoat upon a spar
Where white-faced corpses floating are,
AIGid the breakers on the bar.
All limned again on storm clouds dun
Which quenched the gIadneSs of the sun,
Awakened by that minute gun.
Rut through the darkness of the place
Shines forth the fondness of your face.
Your loving eyes and matchless grace,
And CnFn MID 1fO~a 4-5
brand.
While peril broods DER sea and land.
Warm touch of loving lips and hand.
