SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA
Seem to Care Little About Aidina the
VenezueIans.

New York, Dec lin reply to dis
patches addressed to it's correspondents
in the most prominent South American
and Central American republics, asking
for the position of each government in
the Venezuelan situation The Associ-
ated Press has received the following
replies:
Lima. Peru, Dec 16.-The newspapers
of Peru are in favor of collective ac-
ton in support of Venezuela by all the
South American republics. The Peru
Wan government, however, is not dis
posed to take any action in the matter.
La PaZ, Bolivian, Dec. 16-While the
Bolivian government is not prepared
to take any steps to assist Venezuela
in the present crisis, the newspapers
of Bolivar express themselves in ia
vor of some point action on the part of
all the republics of South America in
support of Venezuela against the al
lied powers.
San Salvador, Salvador, Dec. TO-
The newspapers here are urging the
South American republics to support
Venezuela. but the government officials
of Salvador is not likely to take any
action.
Guayaquil, Ecuador, Dec. 16.-The
news of the bombardment of the forts
at Porto Cabello has further excited
the EcuadOrians, who were already
greatly incensed at the sinking of the
Venezuelan ships. More than 5000 per-
SONS paraded the streets, last night.
Many patriotic speeches were delivered
in favor of a Latin-American alliance.
The government is not likely to take
any action, however. The newspapers
here assert that the Monroe doctrine is
only used when it suits the United
States in the appeal to it.
Buenos Ayres, Argentina, Dec. 10
The government of Argentina officially
denies the reports that it contemplates
intervening in the dispute between
Venezuela and the allied powers. The
newspapers are protesting against the
action of the fleets of the allies.
Santiago, Chile, Dec. 16.-The Gillian
government has decided on complete
abstention from any action. Chile
principle has always been to pay her
debts. and it is held here that Fene-
zuela ought to do the same. At the
same time general opinion is frankly
against the action of the great powers
in treating a weak country in such a
manner.
Rio Janciro, Brazil, Dec. 16.-The
Brazilian government is absolutely in
different in regard to the Venezuelan
troubles. High officials and prominent
men here do not sympathize with
President Castro.
Panama Colombia, Dec. 16.-On ac-
count of his having helped the Colom-
bian revclutionists, President Castro
of Venezuela, has no friends in the CO.
lombian government. Influential MEM
bars of the government in Panama side
with Venezuela in the present diff
Guilty.
Up to the time of sending out these
dispatches the reply OF Nicaragua had
not been received.

uad preliminary hearing in the munich

gar r. Wing, charged with assault with
intent to kill Verton A. Trip at New

witness. testified that Burnham did tie
shooting.
He said that Wing and Burnha,n
came to his house, that their actions
indicated that they wanted to make
trouble. Wing sat talking with Minnie
Robbins but Burnham was inclined to
make trouble and at last drew a re-
volver.
Mr. May said to him: at looks to
me that you want to make trouble, now
get out He said that Burnham fired
twice at him, and that Trip said Il
guess you'll not be alone. Humphrey, ii
it's come to this" and went to his help.
They put Burnham out, and he shot
Trip. May then said to Wing: You
fellows came here together, now you
go out After they got out they tried
to get in, but he said: You're out an l
yor'n keep out" He thought that May
hung around the place for about an
hour and then went away.

Higgins and Mr.. Doolittle, but did not
materially change his testimony.

When the House convened, a bill was
passed to extend the act of June 6, 1900
which authorizes the sale of stone ard
timber for use in the Indian territory,
so as to provide for its sale to railroad
companies, parts of whose lines are i'm
the territory. The speakers laid before
the House a letter from Gov. Smith of
Maryland, notifying the House of the
presentation by the state of Maryland
of the statutes of Charles Carroll, one
of the signers of the Declare ton of In
dependence and John Hanson, Presi-
dent of the Continental Congress. These
statutes are now in Statuary hall.
A resolution was adopted setting
aside Saturday, Jan. 81 after p. NJ.

ceptance Of these statutes. The House
the resumed the consideration of the
legislation appropriation bill.
EartItt, Ga, offered an amendment
adopting S25O.OO0 to enable the attorney
general to prosecute the violators Of
the antitrust laws. Hepburn, Ia, Of
fered a substitute for the amendment
increasing the amount to $4,000 Can
non, ILL.,, endorsed the latter amend
ment. Hepburn said the whole country
was agitated over this subject. Bart
lett wanted Hepburn to incorporate in
his amendment a provision directing
the attorney general to proceed with
prosecution but to this Hepburn OBJ
jected because it contained a reflection
on the attorney general.
Bartlett said the attorney general
should be criticised because he had not
enforced the antitrust laws. He said
there was no representative of the peo-
pies interests in the White House. in
the cabinet, or on the federal bench. in
the fight against trusts. Grosvenor,

APPEAL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Made to Provide Fuel for Needy PEG
pie of Bath.

Bath Me-, Dec. lion account of the
high prices prevailing, an appeal for
contributions has been made by the
Bath Benevolent Union. The citizens
have been prompt to respond to the
call. and although the union made no
appeal until Saturday, 5000 has already
been subscribed.
The overseers of the poor have re-
ceived but few applications for fuel so
far, but it is understood, however. that
there is considerable suffering in the
city, which is being withheld from the
public as much as possible. Davis
Hatch and Mrs. Emma Small have
taken the initiative in raising the coal
fund, and have thus far received the
hearty cooperation of many of the
leading people of Bath.
Anthracite coal is so and $10.25 a tor
and hardwood 50 a cord. There have
been many earnest requests for fuel
made to Mr.. Hatch and Mrs. Small.
Every application is given due consid-
Grafton, and diligent inquiries are made
to be sure that there is actual need be-
fore the fuel is ordered.
The dealers have only limited
amounts of coal on hand, and thus far
have had to refuse the committee from
the Benevolent Union in their requests
for coal. but will try to fill them at the
earliest possible moment.
If conditions continue, it is quite
probable that general committee of
prominent citizens will be formed in be-
half of the city to take matters into its
own hands. and an effort may be made
to secure special cargo for the benefi.
of the poor.

in the House. today, Unexpectedly ard
without warning sprang an amendment
to appropriate $250,OO0 to enforce the
Sherman antitrust law and to direct
the attorney general to proceed to the
prosecution of all violators of the laws.
Although such a provision was plain
ly amenable to a point of order, not a
single member on either side of the
House raised objections. Both sides
wheeled into line and all agreed that
some such action was advisable.
Some of the Republicans, however,
raised objection to the looseness of the
language of the amendment and Hep
burn of Iowa, offered as a substitute
for it the language of the bill he intro
duced on the opening day of the ses-
sion to appropriate 100000 for then en-
forcement Of the law. This was fur
Their strengthened to make the appro-
priation Immediately available. and. as

ment, as adopted, today, is as follows.
THAT for the enforcement of the pro-
visions of the act of July 2. 1890, the
sum Of 100000 is hereby appropriated
