THE HEARING POSTPONED.
Neither Evidence Nor Arguments in
Greene and GaynOr Case.


Greene and GaynOr Case.
There was a complete dearth of Incl
dent in the Greene Gaynor case yester-
day Because of the impossibility OF
preparing the governments answers in
time for court, the case went over I'M
til 10 o'clock this morning. Then it will
be called and the answers of the gov
eminent to the pleas in abatement will
be filed and probably argued.
Immediately after the call of the
motion docket in court Judge Speer
asked District Attorney Erwin if the
case was in such shape that the trial
might proceed and the district attor-
ney replied that it was not.
There is a large amount of steno-
graphic work to be done in connection
with the government case, sad Mir.
Erwin, which has been rendered nee
essary by the pleas in abatement filed
on behalf of the defendants. / sug-
gested to counsel for the defendants
that the case be postponed until noon
and they were of opinion that it would
be as well to continue il until to-mor-
row morning. That course has received
my assent"
1T is so ordered" said Judge Speer.
THE case will go over until 10 o'clock
in the morning"
The court room was crowded when
the case was called and that there
were no proceedings was a matter of
dissatisfaction and regret to the many
who had attended. The interest in the
case grows with each day, and it is
becoming increasingly evident that the
court room, ere the case has proceed
ed many days longer, will scarcely be
large enough to contain in comfort the
crowds of interested spectators of the
introduction of the evidence.
The impression is becoming general
that in the event the pleas in abate-
ment are dismissed or denied effect
and the defendants demurrer to the
indictment overruled, that a very few
days thereafter will mark the begin
ming of the trial on the merits.
1t has been believed heretofore that
there would be a continuance until
about March l, but Judge Speer's con-
slant refusal to assign cases for trial
and other. indications from the bench
lead to the conclusion that there will
not be a longer interval between the
overruling of the demurrer. in the
event it is overruled, and the begin
ming of the trial on the merits than is
necessary in which to draw and sum-
mon a petit jury.
M. A. Connolly was in the court
room ready to be called on, but was
not wanted. He and only one of the
other conspirators have met since the
case was called. Col. Gaynor and the
junior, conspirator met in the postoffice
corridor at the foot Of the elevator
and exchanged How are yous," but
did not fall into each others arms.

the clock at once from the manufac-
turers, and it is expected that it will
be established in place without great
loss of time.

rRsCES SMASHED
Heavy Liquidation of Stocks Due to
Scarcity Of Loan Money Experienced
on Wall Street Today.

New York, Dec. 11.-There was a
smashing of prices of stocks today, fol-
lowing the break of yesterday, which
was in strong contract to the torpid
condition which prevailed in the stock
market for some time past. The Vene-
zuelan situation was the acuse of some
forebodfng, but there was scarcely
more than a sentimental influence.
Growing evidence OF distress amongst
borrowers and would-be borrowers was
the real cause of the acute weakness.
Some large lenders who held funds
frodm time loans in expectation or
higher rates kept them in call loans,
but for mixed terms, money was prac-
tically unobtainable. The growing con-
yiction that a heavy loan contraction is
to be met before Jan. toppled over the
market and liquidation came in spas
modic waves, each dip carrying prices
lower than before and the support put
in from time to time was only for the
purpose of affording basis for fresh
selling. Liquidation was especially
heavy in Rock Island stock and United
States Steel shares, but nothing was
exempt from losses, which quite gen.
orally reached 1 to points.

Resolution in the House for Ar
bitration, United States to
Guarantee Payment
PLAN TO AVOID WAR
Would Have British and German
Claims Arbitrated With Uncle Sam
as Security for Payment of the
Awards - Washington View of the
Situation in Venezuela.

Washington, Dec. IA joint res
olution was offered in the house today
by Shafroth, of Colorado, authorizing
the president to propose to Great Brit
ain and Germany that they submit
their claims against Venezuela to ar
bitration and to guarantee payment OF
awards that may be found.
Washington, Dec. 11.-Minister Bow
en- at Caracas today confirms the press
reports that all German and British
prisoners have been released.
This was the only advice that came
to the state department over night as
to the situation in Venezuela. Ofticiais
believe that by reason Of his release OF
civilians President Castro has dimin-
ished greatly the most dangerous fac
tor in the great problem. Had he in
sisted on retaining them in jail, the al
lies must have dispatched force to the
capital of Venezuela, and war outright
would have ensued. AS it is the OH
cials here prefer to regard the status
as not one of war, providing allies ad-
her to their original program of
peaceful blockade" perhaps followed
by temporary seizure of Venezuelan
custom houses. Details of the sinking
of the Venezuelan navy by allied naval
forces are awaited with interest mere
and officials could not but express re-
gret and surprise that 1t had been found
necessary to proceed to SUCH extremes.
Nothing has as yet occurred to induce
the state department to change fts pol
ic yof non interference, which II mas
adopted The president is showing
particular interest in the situation, ana
this morning he called Secretary Hay
away fro mhis regular Thursday DIP
iomatic reception to confer respecting
the Venezuelan situation. The chair
man of the two congressional commit
tees charged with the care of foreign
affairs also called at the state depart
n1o,lt during bhe forenoon to talk over
the Venezuelan developments.
Senator Cullom. chairman of the
committee on foreign relations express
ed the opinion that the United states
would not become involved seriously
in the disturbance, as he was sats-
fed neither Great Britain nor Germany
had any intention of acquiring Vene-
zuelan territory.
The state department is well pleased
with the energetic, yet discreet, man
ner in which Minister Bowen has act
ed. There has been no orders issued
to any of our naval vessels to repair 10
Venezuelan ports. and 1T is not intend
ed to issue such orders, unless an I'M
rnergency should arise. as the presence
of foreign men -of-war in such cases
as this is apt to cause useless frlcuon.
There is, of course, always the danger
of an attempt of an American vessel TO
pass the peaceful blockade may In
the end call for the appearance OF Am
erican men-of-war upon the scene.

thoughtful speech by the venerable
Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, on
the relations between labor and capi-
tai. AT the end of the present session
he retires, at the age of 79, after {.
career in public life extending over n
half century His first speech in the
house was on mans right to the soil"
He was the author of the free home
stead act. His speech today was re-
garded as his valedictory to public lie,
and was listened to with close atten-
ton by his colleagues. His conclusion
was that some sort of a cooperation
between labor and capital was the only
solution of the impending problem.
A bill was passed in general terms

acts for those islands, also was pro-
vided. The pure food bill was made

NEW ENGLAND FIGHTS IT.
A Bitter Opposition to the French Re-
ciprocity Treaty Develops.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Senator Cul-
lom is worrying the ultra protectionists
from New England with the French re-
ciprocity treaty. He has forced Senator
Aldrich into the position of declaring
that the treaty must be referred to the
committee on finance on the ground
that it is revenue measure. Senator
Aidrich made motion for this refer
ence during an executive session of the
senate and the outlook for clear-cut
division which will disclose the strength
of reciprocity sentiment in the senate Is
bright.
The debate on the instrument thus
far has been entertaining nd nsrucv.iia
far has been entertaining and instruc-
tive. The entire senatorial delegation
from New England is fighting 1T with
a bitterness that is almost unprece-
dented. Senator Cullom, on the other
hand, is pressing. it for consideration on
every possible occasion, and he says he
purposes doing so until it is defeated or
ratified:.

United States. A high official of the
administration today said the time OF
the occupation would be the delicate
question so far as this government Is
concerned. We could not afford to ig-
more such occupation beyond reason
able time for the collection of the mon
ey demanded.
It was added that but for the Monroe
doctrine and the determination of Pres
fdent Roosevelt to support that doct
trine with the navy Venezuela would
be partitioned within the next six
weeks But England and Germany
fully understand the position of ths
United States, and may be expected
to do nothing to conflict with the Mon
roe doctrine.
It was said at the British and Ger
man embassies today that the action
of President Castro in ordering the ar
rest OF all subjects of the British and
German governments in Caracas was
without precedent in the history of civ
ilized countries supposedly at peace
with each other and that such action
would be regarded as sufficient groutli
for declaration of war. Members
of the diplomatic corps here indeed
regard it as being such declaration
in itself
Many years ago when President
Soras was at the head Of the Buenos
Ayres government. Great Britain be-
came involved in dispute with the
South American country and Soras is
sued a decree that all British subjects
should be arrested and their heads

demanding of President Castro the re-
lease of the German and British sub
iects arrested in Caracas yesterday is
in accordance with the plan agreed on
between the German and British am
bassadors and Secretary Hay when the
former called at the state department
fully three weeks ago.
Mr.. Bowen is a man of rare courage,
as was demonstrated when he was
, consul general at Barcelona, Spain, at
the beginning of the war with that
country He has been intrusted with
the care of British and German inter-
| tests in Venezuela during this crisis, and
the state department has confidence
| in his ability to do that without in any
way involving his own government.
President Castro did not want to
recognize Minister Bowen's right to
look after the interests of England and
Germany, but after second represen-
tation he consented to release the pris-
oners who had been arrested appar-
emily with no other warrant than that
they were citizens of the two powers
represented in the ultimatum.
Castro is represented by those who
know him as a shrewd and unscrupu-
lous half-savage, who received his first
power from the mountain bands which
terrorized the cities and plantations IN
| the rich valleys. He was one OF them
and he began his revolution with their
aid and became so successful that he
became dictator of the country. He is
cunning and has a grievance against
this government which may lead him to
any extreme to involve it In quarrel

r. was in accordance with the eN-

.arded as in conflict with the monroe
Doctrine. The principal cause OF un-
easiness at the state department Is
dne to the we'll known disposition OF
president Castro to involve the United
states in a quarrel with England and
Germany.
He would, it is believed, go so far
as 10 DEFY the European powers to the
point Of declaring war upon Venezuela
if he thought by SO doing he could
compel them to seize Venezuelan ter
ritory and come into contact with the
limited states. President Roosevelt has
declared that the Monroe doctrine has
nothing to do with commercial rela-
lions and that this nation does not
guarantee any state, against punish
ment. provided that punishment does
not take tie form of the acquisition OF
territory by any non-Ameriean power

WIND CAVE PUBLIC PARK.
Lands in South Dakota Likely to g
Set Aside for That Purpose.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Within feW
DAYS President Roosevelt will sign
law which provides for setting apart
lands in South Dakota as a pubic
park, to be known as the Wind cave
National Park, said Representative
Lacey of Iowa. 1T is one of the great
est wonders of the world. 1t is located
in the southern part OF Custer county
in the foothills of the Black Hllls
mountain range. 1t consist of series
of large chambers connected by narrow
passa ageways and extends several hun
dred feet in depth and many miles IN
length
Some of the chambers contain curl
Gus natural formations of rare beauty.
The first room entered is known as the
brides chamber, and is located loo
feet below the floor of the cave house.
This room is about 20x30 feet in ex-
tent with rough, ragged rocks over
head, with many small outlets in varl-
Gus directions. In the next room is
found q formation resembling an al
most perfect prairie dog and mound.
In fact, there are SO many wonderful
rooms in this cave that it is almost
impossible to describe them"
