ENGLAND and Germany seem determln-
ed to take heroic action in the case OF Vene-
zuela, and the claims urged against this
minor American republic will be collected
even at the lannon's mouth. Venezuela
like other South American countries is,
as it we're, spaniel in the congress OF
nations. Such countries are ever snap
ping and snarling and causing friction
among the larger powers. Most of the
South American republics are willingly
ignorant of what is known as our Monroe
Doctrine, and often presume upon it to a
dangerous degree, irritating other
countries by refusing to pay just obli-
cations, dreaming that the United States
will stand as buffer between them and
foreign powers. The United States has
never assumed any such position, the
stand it has taken being averse to any
European government acquiring territory
on setting up governments on this side
Of the world. This country has nothing
to do with the enforcement of the pay
ment of any debts Venezulea or other
of the small-fry countries to the south
of us may incur. These petty nations
will have their eyes opened to that fact
sooner or later and the present is an
opportune time.

IT is stated that the Massachusetts
avenue site for the proposed Union
railroad station in Washington has
been approved by the House committee
on the District of Columbia, but that
the bill has been amended by cutting
down the amount to be paid by the
District and the general government for
the improvement by $1,000, 900. Now
why anything should be paid by either
the District or the general government
to the railroad companies for the elm
proyement' is question that can only
be answered by those Sin the ring. "
The franchise granted the railroad COM
panies is worth several million dollars
and if any payment is to be made it
should be by and not to the rail-
roads. 1t is hoped, too, that not a
southern man in the House will vote
for the bill until guarantees are made
that a suitable and convenient sub
station is established south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue. The railroads are look
ing entirely after their own interests
and those of the passengers going to or
coming from the North and care little
for the convenience of the people enter
ing Washington from the South.

CAPT. SIMMONS REMovED.--A STIR

Norfolk by the unexpected removal from
office of Capt. J. w. Simmons, recently
appointed inspector of hulls for that port
The Norfolk Office has been placed in
charge of Col. J. w. CAST, supervising

went to Washington to ascertain the
cause of the proceedings against him, but
he failed to learn anything. He is re-

friends are trying to straighten the mat

The whole affair seems to be a mystery.
Capt. Simmons says he has passed three
examinations, one by the civil service Of
ficers and two by order of the depart
ment under which he has been serving.
He supposed he was giving entire salts

When the House met today Speaker
Henderson announced several committee
assignments, among them that Of Mr..

In committee of the whole the House
then took up the pension appropriation
bill carrying a total of s139, S47, 900
against Sl99, S42, 23O, the appropriation
for this year.
The bill was considered in committee
for ten minutes, and at 1915 clock it
was reported to the House and passed
without opposition.
Mr.. Olmssed presented the report of
elections committee No. 2 on the contest
case of Wagner versus Butler, for the
Eleventh Missouri district, and gave no
tice that he would call it up for consider
alton on Wednesday.
Mr.. Tawney then called up the Lon
don dockage bill, the unfinished bust
ness of the House when adjournment
was had last summer. The bill provides
that there shall be nothing in the con-
tracts between shippers and steamship
companies that will allow the steamship
companies the right to collect dockage
charges at London from the United
States shippers.
Owing to the absence of Representa-
tive Sherman, of New York, who made
the report on the bill, it was agreed that
the bill be made the special business for
Monday next.

SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 6, 1902
TIE BILL introduced in the House OF
n.1as.a4os on "Wednesday by Mr.. Cation,

THE BILL introduced in the House OF
Delegates ON Wednesday by Mr.. Cation,
the member from this city, prohibiting
Judges from practicing before any court
during their incumbency, is calculated 10
elevate the judiciary. There is holy writ
for the authority that no man can serve
two masters. 1t is in the very nature Of
things, that at or about the same time
in the same State, the same man cannot
expound and state law proposition as
the attorney, and successfully, and the
next day construe and pass in judgment
on similar case acceptably. Men are
human so the bench and the bar should
be kept separate and distinct FOR
these reasons, If for no other, and there are
others. Mr.. Caton's bill is deserving OF
consideration. The advocate and the
iudge are not dual; besides, judges may
have a crowded docket in their own
courts and neglect the same to appear
as counsel in other places. The
position of Judge uldperhaps attract
clients by reason OF the prestige which
not infrequently attaches to the Office
and thus invites business which
under other conditions would go to some
one else. The judiciary of a State should
be the best talent obtainable for the
salary offered, and all, like Caesar S
wife, should be above suspicion.

No settlement outside Commission.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 5.-Desplte stories
of settlement of the anthracite controversy
outside of the commission, it can be stated ed
this morning that such a settlement WIN
never be effected. The attitude OF the
many coal companies before the commits
sion is widely at variance on such a
settlement and Wayne Mac Veagh adj
mitted before his departure for Wash
ington that he had failed to bring about
an amicable agreement. In any event 1t
has been agreed to hear all the testimony
to be offered to the commission before a
further discussion of the matter OF any
outside settlement. It's commonly held
that the Erie, Delaware and Hudson
desire settlement outside the commits
sion. There is story current that as
soon as a settlement is affected with the
miners the big coal combination will at
tempt to absorb all the Independent
companies. These companies to the
number of 81 are valued at $l45, 600, 600,
but attorneys for the coal roads say they
know of no basis for such story.

he has a successfully working model OF
the battery, which is especially adapted
for producing intense heat for smelling

be true, for the increased price OF coal
is rapidly putting that fuel beyond the
reach of all save the rich either for heat

GIVES CLINIC IN WASHINGTON. DIR.
Adolf Lorenz gave public demon
stration of his wonderful ability as a
surgeon Yesterday afternoon in the
amphitheatre of Providence Hospital,
Washington where he performed two
operations in the presence OF the most
distinguished local physicians and large
crowd of spectators. DR.. Lorenz was
assisted by DR.. Friedrich Mueller, whose
work seemed equally as wonderful or
that of DR.. Lorenz. The first operation
was one for congenital dislocation OF the
hip. The subject was little Eileen Gala
ham, 7 years old, and daughter OF a
carpenter. The operation was over IN
short time to the surprise of the physi-
clans and surgeons present. The next
subject was Charles Willett, a l0-year'
old club-footed boy from the Children,
Hospital. Physicians admitted that i
was the worst case of club feet ever
seen in Washington-in fact, so much
so that no local surgeon possessed daring
enough to operate upon them: Ut
Lorenz emphasized all through his worn
the fact that operations were bloodless'
He took the feet of the boy in his hand,
and. while the lad was under the inilu.
ence of an anesthetic, began to kneat
the flesh so as to loosen all of thetlssue'
from the bone. The feet finally became
pliable, and then Dr. Lorenz easily
moved them around iuto the proper posi-
ton. lifting the boy up to show that Dis
feet looked just like those of a healthy
lad. He and DR.. Mueller then wrapped
them in plaster-ofParis bandages, stll
manipulating the muscles and flesh Sc
that the bones would assumed the prope'
position. Physicians and surgeons pres
ent declared no one other than Dr
Lorenz could have accomplished TIT
work. He is fine muscular specimen
of manhood and has large hands, tn
great power of which enabled him t.
preform the work.
