lions or suggested reservations that
will impair the utility of his accept
ance. If sweeping and unreserved &C
ceptance has been made, it is held
that a speedy termination of the diff
fculties can be easily arranged.
If Castro stipulates that Minister
Bowen shall be the sole arbitrator,
it is not thought that Great Britain
and Germany will regard his declara-
ton as an acceptance, as both ulti-
matums expressly announce that a
mixed commission must settle the
amounts due, together with the meth
cd of payment and guaranty. 1t is
the general opinion here tonight that
the value Of the warship Restaurador,
formerly the Gould yacht Atlanta,
seized and now manned by German
sailors, if retained by that govern
ment, will act as an offset to the Ger
mar claims. Its value is $3.50, 900.

THEIR LIVES WE'RE THREATEN
ED IF THEY WORKED.
MANY ACTS OF VIOLENCE
Counsel for Miners Object to Un-
supported Testimony of
~Boycotting.

Scranto, Pa, Dec. 1S.-The at
torneys for the n%on-union men resum-
ed the calling Of witnesses today be-
fore the coal strike commission to
show that violence was committed
during the progress Of the strike. AS
soon as the hearing opened at 10
o'clock the wage statements of the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
and Pennsylvania e Reading Coal &
Iron Co., were filed with the commits
sion.
The first witness called said a mem
Der of the miners union threatened
to kill him if he did not stop work
ing and finally did shoot at him. The
offender was sen to prison.
The next three witnesses were John
Hoffman, his son, both of whom
were working at the upper Lehigh col
liery, assisting in putting in a new
boiler, and the sons wife. They told
how a crowd of strikers came at mid
night to harm the son, who fled four
miles to another town, and how the
crowd smashed the furniture and at
tempted to burn the house.
The next witness related the story
of himself and wife being hung in eff
fgy in the streets of Nanticoke, the
effigy of the wife being of a character
most offensive.
Mrs. Mcnamara of Parsons, the
mother of four small children, whose
husband Vas in the mines and could
not come home for fear of bodily
harm, testified that her home was de-
stroyed by fire at night and she and
her children were rescued with diff
ticulty.
Counsel for the miners called the
commissions attention to the fact
that the fire had not been connected
with strikers.
Chairman Gray said that while the
evidence did not directly connect the
strikers with the fire, the inference
was that the fire was most probably
Of incendiary origin. Other witnesses
were called to prove hal they were
boycotted and otherwise intimidated.
Counsel for the miners frequently OBJ
jected to unsupported testimony being
presented.

Not After Mere Money.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The state de-
partment has learned that as reported
in Berlin dispatches, a mere money
payment will not meet Germany's de-
sires.
Count Quadt, the German charge
d'affaires, had a long interview with
Secretary Hay touching Venezuela
and the fact is now apparent that
while money will satisfy Great Britain
and Italy, Germany must have an
apology. The difference between her
case and that Of the other powers is
that the German legation at Caracas
was attacked, it's windows broken and
the German national honor otherwise
touched in a manner that cannot be
healed by money.
Touching the question Of a guaran-
tee of any obligations assumed by
Castro as a result of Mr.. Bowen's
good Offices, it is suggested that the
United States being without power
in the absence of the legation to as
sumo directly any responsibility for
the execution of Castro's pledges, it
is still possible for the state depart
ment to give assurances to any party
who might be induced to produce the
money to pay the judgments against
Castro, that when the time shall come
for repayment the. United States
would exercise it's good Offices to see
that the obligations were kept. 1t is
distinctly stated, however, that no
pledge will be made on the part of
the United States to forcibly collect
any Indebtedness of this kind.

Considered the Best Appointments
President Will Have to Dispose

Washington, Dec. 18.-The best Of
fees the president will have at his

ably has before him already the names

throughout the country and the list
continues to grow. 1t will grow right

headed by Senator Burton, called on
the president today and requested that
he place Senator Harris of that state
on the commission. Senator Harris is
a democrat, but his term will expire
March 4, next, and he will. be succeed.
ed by a republican. The principal
candidates to succeed him are Repre-,
senatives Long and Curtis.
Senator Harris has been for a mum.
Der of years one Of the active members
of the senate committee on inter.
oceanic canals and the Kansas dele.
cation told the president there was nc
better posted man on the subject of
canals than Senator Harris.
In additions to the knowledge &C
quired in the senate while serving
on this committee, Senator Harris is
an engineer of ability. He was for
many years IN engineer connected
with the Union Pacific railroad. The
fact that Senator Harris is a demo.
GRAFT has lot deferred his republican
colleagues from urging his selection
on the commission.
1t is stated that the people of the
state, irrespective of party, feel the
same way. An unusually strong pre-
sentation of the case of Senator Har.
ris was made by the delegation.
Governor Savers of Texas, whose
term as governor Of that state will
expire in a short time, is another
strong man whose name has been pre-
scented. The Illinois delegation has
brought forward a strong candidate in
Isham Randolph, the chief engineer
of the Chicago drainage canal. Rep
resentative Livingston of Georgia pre-
scented the name of a Georgia man
this morning. Tennessee has two
candidates and all the states are put,
ting forward candidates.

REALIZES FUTILITY OF RESIST
ING DEMANDS OF ULTIMATUM
WILL PAY SOME CLAIMS
Submit Other Differences to Arpitra-
tion-Bowen on Arbitration
Commission.

Caracas, Dec. 1S.-President Castro
has stated to Minister Bowen that
he accepts the conditions imposed by
the British and German ultimatums
of December Z. He d~esignates Min
lister Bowen to act as arbitrator in
behalf of Venezuela. The ultimatums
require the payment of a sum of mon
ey down and the adjustment of other
debts by a mixed commission. The
German claims are of two classes
for the destruction of, or the appro-
priation of property of German sub
jects in Venezuela revolutions and for
losses to German traders and others
resulting from these revolutions; also
for various sums of money due to
German subjects on loans, and the
like. The British claims are smaller
in amount than the German. The ulti-
matums were presented on December
Z and were then apparently ignored
by Castro.
The decision of President Castro
to accept the conditions of the ulti-
matums was the outcome of a meet
ing of practically all the more prom
inent business men of the city. The
citizens gathered this afternoon and
tonight and discussed the situation.
The result was the adoption of a reso-
luton addressed to President Castro
asking, in the name of the best inter-
ests of Venezuela, that he accede to
the joint demands.
The resolution set for that the force
OF the allies was too overwhelming
for resistance and as all that the ma
ton could do had been done, the hon-
or of Venezuela would not be compro-
missed in accepting the inevitable. 1t
is believed hat Castro was moved to
adopt the curse he has in compliance
with the request of the citizens, be-
aus of the conservative attitude of
the United States and because of the
implication that his resignation would
be demanded had he not done so.

San Juan, December IA, is to this eff

in Michigan City, had nearly died from
eating candy. Saturday evening the

euReLARIzED a CHURCH.
Communion Service Stolen from
Butte House Of Worship.

Butte, Dec. 19.-[Special to The
Gazette Last night burglars broke
into st. Joseph's Catholic church and
stole three of the vessels used in the
communion service, valued at about
$50. The stolen articles were taken
from a %recpetacle in the altar where
they were stored.
Entrance to the building was
through the door, which the vandals
unlocked with a skeleton key. The
place in which the vessels were kept
was pried open with a jimmy.
Several very valuable gold vessels
in the same receptacle were overlook
ed by the burglars. No clue exists to
the thieves.
