The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1902-07-05

TNIIE work of the first session Of
the Fifty-Srvcnth Congress was
Il concluded on Tuesday. the Sen
ate and House adjourning sine
die.
The session has been marked by eXcep-
tional business activity. with many queS-
tions of far reaching general interest en-
gaging attention. With the exception
of the Cuban Reciprocity Bill. most of
the larger subjects of general Legislation
have been enacted rs laws. or will be-
come such before the session closes. No
table among these larger measures is the
lSthman Canal Bill. which consum-
mates the efforts of II half century TO
link together the waters of the Atlantic
and International importance. this bill
probably involves Il larger sum Of money
than that covering any other single UNI
drrtaking by the Government outside of
war expenditures. The Philippine Civil
Government Bill is another measure of
far reaching importance, extending to
our remote Pacific possessions II system
of internal civil government. together
with coinage, currency, banking, corpora
ton, timber and homestead laws
Among the other important general
laws enacted are those repeating tn" war
revenue taxes: extending and making
more effective the Chinese exclusion
laws: establishing IL tariff for good. to
and from the Philippines extending the
charter of national banks for twenty
years; establishing IL permanent census
office: restricting the sale Of oIcomargar-
inc by placing Il high tax on imitation
butter; providing Il consular and diplo-
matte service for Cuba: establishing an
extensive system by which the Govern
mcnt will aid in the irrigation Of the arid
sections of the West.
The repeal of the war revenue taxes
reduced taxation S13.25O. eco. and is said
to be- the largest single reduction of taXa-
step the last of the taxes imposed nj tn"
beginning Of our war with Spain was
wiped out. The Philippine Tariff Act
imposes - per cent of the Dnglry tariff
rates ON articles coming from the Philip
pines to the United States. and also i'm
poses on articles entering the Philippines
from the United States the rates of du-
ties established by the Philippine Com
mission. The Olcomargarnc Act results
from several years of agitation 1t
places tax of 10 cents Il pound on sub
stances colorcd to initiate butter The
irrigation Act is of special importan to
the development of the West. 1t creates
IN irrigation fund in the Treasury De-
partm"nt. into which is to be paid the
proceeds of the sales of public lands in
the arid States. This fund in turn is to
be used in storing water and establishing
irrigation systems. the irrigated sections
to be open to homestcadcrs. who are TO

COAL.

TOAL is to industry what food is
to man. f industry cannot OBJ
~ tain coal it sickens. And when
industry sickens we have hard
times.
This is the vital fact which it hchoovrS
those who advocate II general strike of
coal miners to consider. This is tn" dam
ger to the coal miners themselves and to
the nation as a whole. Therefor" the
questions which the delegates TO tn"
Miners National Convention should CON
slider are the plain human questions
'Do we wish to expose ourselves and
our families to the conditions and hard
ships of 1S93--1S9o!'
'Do we wish to bring back hard
times?'
"Have we enough to gain to pay us
dor taking this riskf'
Hard times, of course, hurt everybody.
They hurt the banker and the stock job
Der and the merchant and the profess
sional man. All have to pay part Of the
general loss. But hard times hurt, most
of all. the man who works with his
hands. and his wife and his children.
His savings are small and he must de-
pend almost entirely upon his daily labor
for his daily bread and theirs.

ing for the settlement of claims and
other matters arising out of the last
revolutions and the German demand
being for the payment of the inter-
est on the German loan and other
claims. The demands are without any
specifications as to the time given for
an answer, but they are in the form of
an ultimatum.
At o'clock Monday Minister Hag-
gard, his secretary, Grant Duff, and
the chancellor of the legation, God
frey, left Caracas in company with the
German charge daffaires, Won Pill
grim -Baltazzi, for LaGuaira. On the
arrival of the train at the latter port
at O'Clock, thirty officers met the
diplomats at the station. Minister
Haggard and the other members OF
the British legation went on board the
British cruiser Rotribution, while the
German charge d'affaires boarded the
German cruiser Vineta. The minis
ters left Caracas without previously
notifying the Venezuelan government
probably in order to avoid any hostile
demonstration.
The handing in of a demand of such
nature at the private residence of a
minister, forgetting diplomatic rules
is believed in some quarters to be
without precedent.
The actual situation is incompre-
| hensible here. Up to Monday morn
ing no one appeared to know anything
about the Anglo-German projected
demonstration. The foreign minister
said that he considered menace on
the part of Germany to be inadmissi.
BILE and that any threat would be only
'ballon d'essal' "a feeler) while as
| for England, said the minister, she
has no grounds for aggression.
The correspondent learns that one
of the chief officers of the German
cruiser Vineta told a German family
at La Guaira yesterday that a block
ade of the coast of Venezuela was i'm
mincnt.
