steps to- Secure Satisfaction-Thc
Intention is to Make Naval De-
mOnstratiOn Against Venezuela
and Possfbly Seize the Custom

London, December Sit is officially
announced here that Great Britain and
Germany are taking naval measures
to secure satisfaction from Venezuela
and that for this purpose German
Uarships have alread -assembled off
the coast Of Venezuela and those Of
Great Britain will shortly be there"
No attempt is made to reconcile
Great Britain's attitude with the news
from Berlin that President Castro IS
willing TO meet the demands made up
on Venezuela. The reason for the ag-
gressive measures is declared to be due
to the fact that no overtures have yet
been received from Venezuela towards
meeting that country's obligations by
ordinary methods.
The Associated Press is able to say
that the European governments are
still in ignorance of the suggested
scheme for a settlement, which has
been submitted to the authorities al
Washington.
The present intention of Great Brit
ain and Germany is to make a naval
demonstration against Venezuela, with
the probable seizure of custom houses
though this is dependent upon develop
mentS
The British foreign office is still abso-
lutely in the dark regarding any state
ment made to the German minister at
Caracas and is somewhat mystified on
the subject of Germany's intentions.

Divorce Seekers In Dakota.

From the Sioux Falls Journal.
The Sioux Falls divorce colony is grow
ing into quite massive proportions. 1t is
estimated that at the present time in the
neighborhood of 300 females and males,
who have attachments to them in the
shape of husbands and wives, are either
in the city sojourning or are paying for
room rent here, while enjoying the lux
uries of the far east. Some of the di-
vorcees are going on the theory that so
long as they pay room rent and claim
their residence as Sioux Falls they are
exempt from living here during the seven
months necessary to get the decree of
separation from uncongenial spouses.
There are all grades, kinds colors and
degrees of divorces here; from the kind
that are compelled to work for a living
In order to make both ends meet to the
aristocratic German count and promin-
ent citizens of New York, the latter gen
orally preferring to remain in New York
to residing here. Then there Is a prom
inent coach for famous football team
who Is represented in eastern papers as
visiting occasionally at Sioux Falls to
look after some patients he has here.
Among the male Divorces there are some
that certainly need to be Gagged. 1t would
undoubtedly be dsagreeable experience
for them If they should be riding In the
country and meet some farmer lad who
was out hunting. The farmer lad would
be justified in thinking he saw some new
species Of something and taking a shot at
It, Then there are the female Divorces,
nearly all OF whom are good looking.
Some arc quiet and demure sort OF indi-
viouals and have their brothers with
them, while there are others who are try
ing to turn the heads of some OF the trav-
cling men and gay members of this city,
and are apparently succeeding in pretty
good shape.
The divorce colony. as a whole, Is a
pretty good thing for the merchants of
this city. They are nll money-spenders,
and those who have the coin want the
best going. They are naturally a restless
lot, having nothing In particular with
which to interest themselves during their
sojourn here. and are naturally ready for
ANYTHING that will pass the time. which

After defeating the Columbus, Ca,

day night after an exciting trip to the

the treatment of the Birmingham team
was outrageous.
According to Mr.. Hailer. he was on
second base and another player on third
base in the fourth inning when Smith
came to bat and hit the ball over the
left field fence. Immediately the umpire
yelled foul. Halter went over to argue
the matter and was Joined by other play
ers. He says the ball was at least thirty
feet to the good The umpire insisted
however. that 1t was a foul. Some one
called the official liar and a fight Seem

A policeman rushed out and told the
umpire to bang away and knock one or
two of the visitors down and he would
see that they did not retaliate. The field
