FRANCE AND VENEZUELA.
In Danger of War over castro's
Stuhhornnees

Stubbornness.
Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Jan.
25.-ln spite of the protests made by
the French consul here, President
Castro has sustained the action of the
Venezuelan authorities at La Guyra
who refused to permit M. Secrestat,
Jr., OF Bordeaux, to land, although the
government had assured the consul
that the traveller might debark. 1t
is held by the authorities that while
the, French line steamship ST. Lau.
rent, on which M. Secrestat was
passenger, was at Fort-de- France,
island OF Martinique, or at the island
OF Trinidad, he conferred with Cen
eral Matos, the revolutionary leader
The consul made inquiries on the sub
ject which established the fact that
General Matos was not at Martinique
or at Trinidad when the ST. Laurent
touched at those islands; but was off
the Venezuelan coast, on board the
revolutionists' steamship Libertador.
All the passengers of the ST. Laurent,
and notably the secretary of the
Spanish legation at Caracas, assert
that the behavior of M. Secrestat was
always most correct. and that he did
not see General Matos. 1t is claimed
that this incident makes it necessary
for the French government to take
the steps necessary to cause French
citizens to be respected and it is be-
lieyed that the French cruisers Tage
aud Suchet. now at Fort-de- France,
will receive orders to go to La Guayra.

CIRCUIT BILL oUTDoNE.
New Anti-oIeo Measure More Strict
= Than the Criminal

Than the Original.
Washington, Jan. 24-The house
committee on agriculture yesterday, by
vote of - to 5, ordered favorable
report upon more rigid oleomargar-
inc bill than the Grout bill OF the last
congress. 1t is the McCleary bill
amended in some particulars, making
greater restrictions than contained in
the Grout bill.
The original bill placed tax of
10 cents per pound on oleomargarine

low butter. The word yellow" was
struck out, thus making the restric-
ton apply to limitations of white or
any other kind of butter. Another
change makes those who take uncol-
ored butter and color it subject to all
the taxes and penalties of manufacture
ers. The opposition to the bill pro-
posed numerous amendments, all of
which were rejected. Representa-

SAYS THE SOUL MAY DIE.
Parkhurst overrides the Presbyterla,

Theory of Immortality.
New York, Jan. 2S.-In a sermon
on Immortality" the Rev. DR.. Char
les ii. Parkhurst, in the Madison
Square Presbyterian church declared
against the popular evangelical belief
that all souls are immortal. He ex-
pressly gave it as his opinion that
the Scriptures do not teach immunity
of the soul from death, and that the
soul must be taken care of in this life
else it will perish utterly, either at
the death of the body or after a long
er or shorted period of the life beyond
the grave. Dr. Parllhurst said in part:
There is nothing in the Scriptures
or in things that encourage us to feel
that a soul can be kept from dying any
more than a body, unless it is take
care of. There is no warrant from
the Bible or from nature for supposing
that soul carries with itself policy
of insurance against its own eventful
obliteration"
The sermon is attracting some at
tention owing to the fact that most
Presbyterians adhere to a belief in The
doctrine of immortality of the soul.

Hero OF Santiago Given Magnificent
Reception by the People of

chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 27.-Rear Admiral w.
S. Schley Saturday thrice declared that
he had had no intention of entering
politics. His remarks were calculated
to set at rest for all time the political
ambitions which some of his admirers
have entertained for him. He said
that no Office, however high, would
tempt him to jeopardize the love
expressed for him.
The day for the admiral was
round of receptions at eacn OF which
he expressed his gratitude for tokens
of esteem and appreciation.
The demonstrations reached their
climax in the banquet given in his
honor by the Hamilton club in the ban
quet hall OF the Auditorium. Approx
mately $50 guests We're present.
Admiral Schley arose amid applause,
and after thanking the members of
the Hamilton club for the welcome
accorded him, said:
If l. in my long career of forty-five
years have done anything that is
worthy of your applause and approval
then my satisfaction is complete.
Il want only to say that / am simply
