INDIANA CLUB OF CHICAGO.
1t VIII Entertain Authors of This
state on the 26th of Next Month.

CHICAGO, March 27.-Charles Hugh
Leech. secretary of the Indiana Club Of
Chicago. said to-day:
1.-The Indiana Club of Chicago desires
TO call the attention of it's members and
all loyal citizens of the State to the fact
that during the past year five of ~Indiana's
distinguished authors have had their books
drama tlzed and placed upon the stage Of
Chicago theaters. Such a record made

looked by the humblest citizen of Indiana.
In order 10 fulfill a. general desire on the
part of its members TO honor the Indiana
authors the Indiana Club of Chicago will
set apart Saturday, April 26, 1902, as a day
of celebration. The club will entertain the
Indiana authors at the Auditorium Hotel

general reception and musicale. The sec
rotary of the Indiana Club desires 10 sug-
gest that this celebration could with credit
to the State be carried into every city. col
lege and school of Indiana. In order not
to interfere with the Chicago celebration
he suggests that Friday, April .. 1902, be
devoted by the State 10 advancing the in
terests of Indiana in literature. We sug-
gest that the Friday afternoon exercises
of April % be devoted to this purpose.
Could not the loyal citizens of every In
diana city and village join with the Indiana
citizens of Chicago in making this event
one long to be remembered by the living
Indiana authors? We suggest that a united
effort be made by all TO properly celebrate
this occasion.

TO WAR ON PROHIBITION
WHISKY INTERESTS DECIDE ON A
VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
Much Money VIII BE Spent in Teach
ing the People that PrOhi-
bitiOn Is n Failure.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. March IA secret
meeting of representatives of Louisville's
whisky Observation-Disclosures and job
bing-was held at the Gait House this
afternoon TO revive the National Protective
Association. organized in Chicago in 1856,
to wage war against the prohibition move
ment and to endeavor to show that pro
hibition laws are Intellectual"
The association will be a national organi-
cation. 1t will have its headquarters in
Louisville and will be supported by a fund
to which the distilling and liquor jobbing
interests of the entire country are expected
to contribute. 1t is understood that the or
ganization will have unlimited financial
backing. for representatives Of the trade
everywhere are taking a deep interest in
the movement and have already authorized
the promoters TO call on them for funds.
The money will be used in employing
speakers to conduct campaigns in States
where the Prohibitionists are strong, in dis
tributing printed matter. in employing
statisticianS and writer's on economic sub
jects and anti-prohibition argument par
ticularly. Steps will now be taken to hold
a national convention of liquor men, at
which a permanent organization will be
made.
A prominent d%iStiller, discussing the
meeting. said: 9Th trade Is clamoring for
the organization. and there Is apparently
little doubt OF its success. The entire trade
of the country will be combined on a cam
paign of education. We have received
numerous letters from distilling concerns
Offering US 500. 500. 800 and $500 a year for
a period of five years. None Of these con-
Germs is large. The concerns with more
apital will give more money. The special
aim of the organization will be TO show the
people in some States where the prohibition
movement Is especially strong the fallacy
of their position. At present a prohibition
movement is sweeping over the Southwest.
and liquor interests are being hurt. In
Michigan, Maine and Kansas prohibition is
also strong. We want 10 show these peo-
pie with speakers and literature that in
passing prohibition measures they only re-
duce their revenue and do not benefit their
States. In order TO convince them that this
is a fact we will employ statisticians 10
compile figures in support Of our state
ments. The work will require much money
and persistent efforts. but the liquor men
are united in the movement and will ac-
complish our object, just as the old asso-
citation did"

tionary forces, estimated to number 500

President Castro appreciates the real dan
ser of the situation and manifests astonish-
ing activity and intelligence. The immedi-
ate success of the revolution is looked uopn
here as being predetermined.
The revolutionary steamer Bolivar was
reported March q as being at the mouth
of the Orinoco; March p she was said to be
at Guiria, and March % it was rumored
that she was at Trinidad.
The Venezuelan authorities continue to
make arrests throughout the republic.

lutionists. under Generals Monagas. Pena-
Iosa and Rolando had united in an advance
and were menacing Cumana and Barcelona.
The situation Of General Riera. in the State

1t was also learned here to-day that the
Venezuelan government had received a re-
port to the effect that General Varela had
defeated the revOlutiOnists under Montilla
in the state OF COrO, who have been try
ing to effect a junction with General Riera

The execution of these orders will place
the revolutionary steamer in a critical
situation. Venezuelan officials consider the

tionists 10 be greatly hampered because

PARIS, March 27.-Lord Rosebery arrived
in Paris this morning from London. The
Patrie says he made the following state
ment to a reporter: "Mr. Chamberlain was
only an instrument in the hands of Mr..
Rhodes. Now that the latter has disap-
peared, what will become of the member
for Birmingham? English opinion has had
enough of a policy based solely on force,
which has only created for us enemies in
Europe and cast us into a conflict I'm which
thousands of our sons have persisted. A
ministerial crisis in England now would
not be surprising. Possibly because of the
coronation, King Edward will prevent this
by ending the war and directing English
policy into new channels, more in conform
ity with justice and the rights of peoples"
Replying to IN inquiry, Lord Rosebry
later in the day wrote a note t. the effect
that he had not seen a reporter of the
Patrie or of any other Paris newspaper.
