Despite Adverse Incidents 1901 a Rec
ord Breaker.

New York, Dec. 27.-The annual
review of American trade finance and
industry, prepared by Branstreets, Civ.
en- publicity today, declares 1901 to be
a Record Breaker" among the five
preceding years of commercial ex
pansion enjoyed by the United States.
Its prominence, the review states, was
all the more notable because it suffer.

law against these trusts and monop-
olies, against illegal railroad combina-
tions, before he asks for any further
federal legislation on this subject?
If he will see that the laws are faith
fully enforced against these trusts,
that have paralized all capital except
that which is willing to go into the
conspiracy, and will maintain equal
rights to every citizen over the high
ways of the land, in the transportation
OF their products, he will be surprised
to see what a multitude of captains
of industry will spring up, ready to
give the consumers of America their
necessities at competitive prices, at 6
per cent profit upon the actual capital
invested. For I say to him that these
captains of industry" whom he re-
lies on do not own a monopoly Of the
business, brains, energy and produc-
ing force of these people. Let him
guarantee equal rights and equal op-
portunities and the American people
will take care of the trade of the
world. Neither will they ask the peo-
pie at home to pay ten times the
profits upon their necessities at which
they are willing to sell the same
goods in foreign countries"
He criticises the recent conference
OF labor and capital at New York and
says: "They have created a kind Of
supreme court and have made Sen
ator Hanna chief justice thereof: they
have set up a kind of government in

ON WHICH MOTION FOR NEW
TRIAL is BASED,
IN The LEE-GARvN CASE
Former Wyoming County Attorney
Now a Resident Of Montana Has
Important Document.

Helena, Dec. 2S.-[Special to The
Gazette.] Lee and Garvin's attorneys
today appled for a new trial and ar.
rest of judgment. The matter will
be heard by Judge Knowles January
6. The motion for a new trial is bas-
ed upon the discovery of new evil
dence.
Counsel for the convicted men claim
they have a man in the person of
Charles Lenwood of Missoula, who
was formerly county attorney of a
Wyoming county, who is a most i'm
portant witness. This witness, it is
claimed, drew up for Anderson and
Smith a bill of sale they intended to
give Lee when they sold the cattle but
they accidently left 1T behind when
they drove the cattle into Montana
to deliver to Lee, necessitating an
other bill Of sale being drawn up by
Mrs. Lee. 1t is said that Lenwood
preserved the bill Of sale and can pro-
duce it in court. This is conceded to
be a very important piece of evidence.
The attorneys for the accused in the
motion for a news trial will also at
tack the verdict, claiming it is not
specific enough, not stating precisely
the charge upon which the men were
convicted. Errors of law are also set
up, notably the action of the court in
giving the jury during it's deliberations
the courts recollection of the testi,
mony of witnesses regarding Garvin's

Vessels Driven Ashore.

Port Townsend, Dec. 27.-Reports
of damage to shipping in the recent
storm are meager, but it is known
that three vessels were driven ashore
The schooner Minnie A. Cline, in tow
of the tug Magic, was caught in the
storm last night. So strong was the
wind that the schooner nearly ran
down the tug and the hawser had to
be cut to save the tug. Later the YES
sci piled up on Smith island and is
said to be in a dangerous position.
The ship Packard went ashore on Trial
island near Vancouver, and the ship
Santa Clara is reported ashore on
Discovery island. Tugs have been
sent to the assistance of all.

connection the most positive assur
ances have been given to the United
States government that the occupa
ton is to be temporary and for such
length of time only as will permit the
collection Of the debt due to Germany
thus %disposing of the report that there
is any Interior purposes to establish
a German coaling station in Vene.
zuelan territory. .
On the part of Venezuela, it is semi
officially understood that President
Castro has made known that he is pre-.
pairing for any eventuality. There is
complete silence, however, as tothe de.
fensive measures Venezuela is making
but there is no indication that she is
laying mines or preparing in any way
to resist an occupation of Laguyara or
Maricabo which are such open ports
that they are practically defenseless
against such a powerful armament as
the Germans can bring to bear. The
reliance of Venezuela appears to be
on the practical difficulties Germany
will encounter as invaders. The fresh
water supply of Laguayara and Mar
acaibo is drawn from interior streams
and lakes and these are expected to
be cut off.
The interior of Venezuela is regard
ed as safe and it is said it would take
at least 20O,0 Q German soldiers to
make Roadway through the wild and
uneven country against guerrilla tao
tics.

KA|sER'S GOVERNMENT HAS ANNOUNCED INTENTIONS
Will Make No Effort to Acquire Permanent Foothold and Gives As
surance That Occupation Will Cease When Debt is
Collected.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The gather
ing of German warships in the vicin
ity of Venezuela and the presence
in the same location of many Ameri
cen, British, French and other foreign
war ships, is directing attention to the
imminence of the naval demonstra.
ton Germany is about to make against
Venezuela. Thus far the German gov.
eminent has not made known the ex-
act details of her proposed move. The
official communications to the United
States being confined to an inquiry as
to the attitude of this government on
the question of a demonstration in
view of the purpose, on the part Of
Germany, not to acquire any perma-
nent foothold in Venezuela.
The answer of this government was
entirely satisfactory to the German
authorities, who since have proceeded
with the execution of their plans for
coercing Venezuela.
1t is said to be probable that the
first move by Germany will be estab-
1ishment of a blockade of Venezuelan
ports so as to prevent the introduce
ton of food products into Venezuela,
and thus starve the beseiged into sub
mission. Venezuela is, it is said, en-
tirely dependent on the outside world
for it's supply of corn, which is a staple
among Venezuelans. The Germans
are expected to occupy one or more
of the main ports of Venezuela, prob
ably Laguayra and Maricabo. In this

RECOMMENDATIONS OF PRESl.
DENTS MESSAGE CRITICISED.
ENFORCE SHERMAN Law
err Legislation Asserts the
President Of the Ants.

Terry Town, Dec. 28.-M. l.. Lock
wood of z%elinople, Pa, president of
the American Antitrust league, has
given out a statement in which he
criticises at length the recommends
lions made by President Roosevelt
for a law to govern trade combina-
tons. Mr.. Lockwood contends that
there is no necessity for any further
legislation on the subject; that the
rigid enforcement of the Sherman
antitrust law would be sufficient ef-
f~ectually to suppress and restrain
hurtful trade and industrial combina-
tions He then says:
Doesn't every one know that these
illegal industrial combinations have
destroyed competition, have created
a monopoly and are now robbing the
American people of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars annually to pay divi-
dends on billions of dollars of water
ed stock ano that some of these divi-
dends are 4S per cent annually for
water all, what more publicity does he
want?"
He alleges that the foundation of all
the vast fortunes which have been
built up in trade and manufacturing
are railroad rebates and discrimina-
tions.
Mr. Lockwood alleys that the trusts
desire just what is recommended in
the message and that their attorneys
avowed it before the civic federation
conference. He says:
'Why is it that these attorneys want
to transfer this qestion to the seat
of the national government? The
answer is that they want to get just
as far away from the people who are
being hurt as possible. They know
that the atmosphere is a great deal
different for this question in the cap
itol Hobbies and in the hotel Hobbies
of Washington than It is in the states.
Would it not be well for the presi-
dent, who has sworn to enforce the
laws, to have his attorney general be-
gin proceedings in earnest under the
provisions OF the Sherman antitrust

REPORTS COMING IN OF DAMAGE
TO SHIPPING. y
Gable Cut BY Vessel Dragging Anchor
Photograph Wires Down in
Many Places.

. Victoria, B. c., via steamer to Seat
tie, Dec. 2S.-Victoria is completely
cut off from telegraph communica-
ton. The Canadian Pacific railroad
cable was cut by the anchors of the
Australian liner Oarangi, which drag
ged her anchor in English bay, and the
Western Union wires are down in a
hundred places between here and the
cable box 20 miles distance.
The ship Santa Clara of San Fran
cisco is still hard and fast on Trial
island, the efforts of the tugs to re-
move her having proved fruitless.
Her captain still has hopes of saving
her. The bark Burn which, like the
Santa Clara, drifted during the gale
Christmas was located today safe at
anchor off San Juan island. She is
in 20 fathoms of water with over a
hundred fathoms of chain out.
The American Tug Coleman was
passing Destruction island with a
brigantine in tow when her engines
went wrong. The brigantine made
sail and escaped and was still drifting
at last reports, her master having de-
clined assistance. Since it has been
learned that the storm area extends
beyond the strait grave fears are en-
tertained for the collier San Mateo
which left on Christmas day.

News From Cape FIattery.

Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 2S.-
The steamer Gertrude today brings
the first news from Cape F1attery and
way ports since the Christmas storm
totally demolished telegraph commun-
ication. The storm ragged down the
straits driving waves over the decks
of vessels at anchor in Chalam bay,
washing overheard everything move
able, smashing boats and doing other
minor damage. The barkentine Katie
F%lickinger had the narrowest escape,
dragging her anchors until she was
close to the shore. There she brought
up and held fast, successfully wealth
ering the remaining hours of the
storm. Clalam bay was particularly
exposed to the force of the westerly
gale.
