and PTOvOcatiOn.

ST PAUL. Dec. l5.-The Minnesota
supreme cour' in decision Saturday
held that under certain circumstances a
man may strike his wife and be justi-

court. "Colahan was justified in his act %

any trouble in Wyoming" said Secretary
OF the INTERIOR Hitchcock this morning.

Times as TO the reported range war

nicely" he continued when we are
apprised Of a range war it will be time
10 act, and not before then"
Dispatches sent out from Omaha, Neb..
reported a bloody war going on among
cattle rangers. and indicated the loss
OF many lives as the result. There has
been a difference between the larger
interests Of cattle raisers and the
smaller ones and some trouble resulted.
Many persons have seized lands which
belong TO the Government until home
steaded, and these are being prose-
cuted.
Colonel Mosby has been in Nebraska
aiding in the prosecution of the fence
violator5 in that section. He is still
there and will remain in that State until
The cases are tried. The range war

TELLER DISCUSSES THE
VENEZUELAN SITUATION
Thinks United States Should
Prevent Oppression.

NEW YORK, Dec. I5.--In discussing
the Venezuelan situation at the Filth
Avenue Hotel, Senator Henry NJ. Teller
of Colorado said.
i think this Government ought to
concern itself about the situation.
think the Monroe Doctrine ought to be
extended to prevent the oppression o,
any Of the South American nations by
foreign power and that we should not
draw the line upon the acquisition OF
territory.
venezuela has had thirty-four revo-
lutions within thirty-two years What
is needed in Venezuela is man OF the
type Of Diaz. I know there IS an i'm
preston in this country that when Diaz
dies there IS likely to be trouble in
Mexico which may call for our inter-
ference.
Il talked with President Diaz when
in Mexico about year ago, as TO the
conditions which were likely 10 ensue
upon his death. and was pleased when
he told me that he thought he now had
the people OF Mexico so educated up 10
orderly government that his death would
not make any difference in the con-
dition Of that country. There we're a
number Of men in Mexico, he said, Who
could take up the reins OF government
and conduct the affairs Of the state
without serious friction"
Speaking about the prospects OF leg
is!ation for Cuba at the coming session.
Senator Teller said.
The impression about the poverty Of
Cuba is an entirely erroneous one. Cuba
is all right. and will work out her sal
walton without a doubt II she is let
alone. II is not generally understood
but II Is a fact. that Cuba exports more
In proportion to population than any
other country in the world. She i'm
ports more in proportion to her poDu-
lation than the United States She is
not under the expense OF maintaining
an expensive army and navy TO pro-
tect herself. We insure her protection
from outside enemies. With such con-
ditions. she should be env ed. rather
than pitied. The per capita reaith there
Is greater than it is IN the United
States"
