PLAN OF THE ALLIES
Coast is Blockaded to Pre-
vent Smuggling.

Berlin. Dec. 1.-THE naval plans or
Germany and Great Britain provide for
the patroling of the Venezuelan coast
by launches in order to prevent SNUG
Cling. and for the blockaGe of those
Venezuelan ports where the custom
houses have not been taken over, in or
der to prevent vessels avoiding the
ports occupied by the allies.
Naturally this procedure, ii 1t be-
comes necessary, would require num-
Der of ships available in the West In
dies than Germany, larger portion OF
the work will fall on Great Britain
unless Germany sends out additional
cruisers, according to her first inten-
ton.
Official suggestions supplied to the
German newspapers and to the English
correspondents here lay stress on the
fact that the United States has under
taken to safeguard automatically the
German and British residents in Ven
ezuela until the dispute is settled. Con-
sequently, any affront offered to the
resident Germans or British which is
not in accordance with international
usages. such as an arbitrary arrest
would cause that power to protest. Il
| is this consideration which makes the
German foreign Office doubt the re-
ported arrests at Caracas.
The foreign office tonight is still
without any official advices from LIZ
| Guarya of more recent date than Mon
| day night, tho the newspapers have re-
ceived kilograms dated Tuesday
This, it is explained, is because thu
correspondents are using the overland
| telegraph lines northward, while
Charge d. Affairs Won Pilgrim Baltazz
and Commodore Scheder, commanding
the German squadron in West lndial
waters must send their dispatches t
| the nearest cable station.

There spread the scene before my view
The careless plowman's yell,
The happy laughter in his eyes
That told that all was well.
And far away heard the sound

Along the rivers shores
The calm horizon showed line

With buckets dripping sweet
And sparkling water seemed 10 give

THE GERMAN TARIFF.
Chancellor Won Bueiow Makes State
ment in the Reichstag.

Chancellor Won BueloW Makes state
nent in the Reichstas.
Berlin, Dec. 11.-Chancellor Won Bue-
low in the reichstag today, speaking on
the tariff bill. said If the reduction OF
duty on agricultural machinery and I'M
plements as provided for in the Kar-
tiorff amendment was adopted, the fed
crate government would take the
changes into serious consideration. He
would not consent, however, to the Fix
ing of minimum duties on animals and
meats. The government in making new
commercial treaties would guarantee to
the domestic animals industry protec-
ton enough to insure its proper deyel-
opment and would accept no provis-
ions in the treaties which would render
it impossible to adopt the necessary
veterinary measures to prevent animal
diseases coming into Germany from
abroad. The chancellors statement
was greeted with applause from the
right party and with derisive laughter
from members of the left party.

DORSEY in DISGRACE.
Former Iowa Veteran Attempts to Kill
His Son.

saisaG44., -.S.. ,sAstsN. Ast, N1rt!ss ~ $50
famed Andrews raid during the civil
war has been compelled to seek refuge
at the Soldiers Home here to avoid
prosecution OF the law. The man is u.
A. Dorsey, a resident of Kearney, Neb.,
and the crime with which he is charged
is that of attempting to murder his son
Owing to the old mans marvellous rec
ord, prosecution has been suspended
pending his good behavior at the Sol
diers' Home.
Mr.. Dorsey is one of the few sur
yivors of the small squad of men VINO
captured an engine and began the de-
struction of the Western & Atlanta
railroad running out of Atlanta, Ga,
the intention being to cut off its base
of supplies from the confederate army.
The following is the story of the raid
briefly told:
Captain w. A. Fuller left Atlanta on
the morning of April IL, 1862, having
charge of passenger train AT MARI
eta a party of passengers boarded the
train. each ticketed to different point
In ensuing conversations they said
they were Yankee refugees going TO
Join the confederate army.
The train stopped at Big Shanty for
breakfast and all the passengers left
the train, the crew joining them at
breakfast. While they were eating Cap
tain Fuller saw the strangers, who
formed a detachment of Sills brigade,
Mitehelps corps of the northern army,
going howard the train. They boarded
the engine and cut loose. Captain Fuller
and the train crew began a pursuit on
foot until they found a handcar. The
tale of the race is known to every
school boy. 1t ended disastrously Tor
the northerners, nearly all of whom
were caught. Eight were executed at
Atlanta as spies, six were exchanged
and eight escaped from Libby prison,
where they were taken for confinement.
The affair has been commemorated in
yarious ways. The survivors of the
raid have erected monument in the
National cemetery at Chattanooga, and
the Nashville, Chattanooga q st. Louis
Railroad Company has also erected Two
monuments or tablets, one marking the
| SPOT where Andrews men captured the
engine, which was named The Gen
eral," and the other being placed at the
point where 'The General was left by
| the raiders. Still third tablet has
been placed before "The General at its
resting place in Chattanooga.
| Mr.. Dorsey has experienced domestic
infelicity and has not for some time
been living with his family. His wife
Isucceeded in having one-half of his $2A
pension turned over to her. and MT
Dorsey's son was suspected by the IA
| ther of being instrumental In having
| his supporting pension partially cut OIL
Father and son had some words on the
street at Kearney and Mr.. Dorsey fired
1 three shots at his boy, but succeeded In
Iinfiicting only flesh wound on the
bows arm. The son is mail carrier
IL is partially thru his efforts that
prosecution of the old man has been
ayerte6 on condition that he remain In
the Soldiers Home the balance of his
/ days.

The English Sparrow.

so dainty in plumage and hue.
A study in gray and brown,
How little. how little we knew
The pest he would prove to the town
From dawn until daylight grows dim,
Perpetual chatter and scold.
No winter migration for him;
Not even afraid Of the cold!
Scarce a song bird he fails to molest,
Belligerent. meddlesome thing!
Wherever he goes as guest
He is sure to remain as king.
Yet from tip of his tail to his beak
like him, the sociable elf;
The reason is needless to seek,
Because I'm a gossip myself.
