A Washington dispatch to the ST.
Louis Globe under date of September
28th says:
It is expected that Senator Spooner
of Wisconsin. whose reelection is now
practically assured. will take the lead
in the Senate in the Legislation neces-
sary to carry out President Roosevelts
plans for a tariff revision committee.
1t is said by his friends that at the
recent Oyster Bay conference the Wis.,
consin senator inspired the position
taking by Senator Allison in favor OF
tariff commission as means of meet
ing the present demand in Iowa and
other Western states for a reduction
on an equitable plan of many of the
schedules.
Senator Spooner, in this matter, as in
nearly every other where he has taken
the lead, asks that the idea be treated
fairly and that the commission be
created in good faith, not to delay or
avoid action, but to reach a just re-
commentator on every tariff rate.
He wants representative men from
both parties and having acquaintance
with every interest involved to be
appointed to the commission. The
reports of such commission he be-
lieves, would have weight with Con-
gress, and would not be ignored or
thrown aside in the Juggling of the
conference room.
SENATOR Spooner will endeavor to
put the Presidents idea of commits ion
before the country before he is cone
speaking in Wisconsin, and he will
follow it up to the Senate next session.
His friends assert that this statesman
like course of the stump will unavoid-
ably insure his return to the Senate
and make him the central figure in the
prolonged struggle that is soon to be
approaching On the tariff issue.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The gather
ity of Venezuela, and the presence in
the same locality of many American,
British, French and other foreign war
ships is directing attention to the ma
val demonstration Germany is about
to make against Venezuela. 1t is said
to be probable that the first move by
Germany will be the establishment of
d blockade of Venezuelan ports so as
to prevent the introduction of food
products into Venezuela and thus
starve the besieged into submission.
Venezuela, it is said. is entirely de-
pendent upon the outside world for
its supply of corn, which Is staple
among the Venezuelans. The Germans
are expected to occupy one or more of
the main ports of Venezuela In this
connection most positive assurances
have been given to the United States
government that the occupation Is to
be temporary and only for such length
of time as will permit the collection of
the debt due to the Germans, thus dis
posing of the report that there is any
Interior purpose to establish German
coaling station on Venezuelan soil.
On the part of Venezuela it is semi
officially understood that President
Castro has made known that he is
prepared for any eventuality. The re-
lance of Venezuela appears to be on
the practical difficulties Germany will
encounter. Venezuela, 1t is asserted,
has no need of outside supplies. More
over, the natives are said to be meat
eaters almost exclusively and have no
need for corn or outside products.
With reference to German occupation
of one or more ports, it is thought that
Venezuela will rely on harassing the
invaders. The fresh water supply of
La Guayara and Maracaibo is drawn
from interior SIRENS and lakes AMI
these are expected to be cut off. The
interior of Venezuela is regarded as
safe, as 1t is said that 1t would take
at Least 200 .on4 Germps-, if'of''ittees. 10
1maKe Roadway through the wild coun-
try against guerilla tactics There
appears also to be much reliance on the
part of Venezuela in the sentiment aud
sympathy which can be aroused within
the United States when an invader is
actually operating on American sol
and Venezuela issues declaration of
war.

what he had done.
According to his story, he had
horrible dream some time during Fri

iantly colored snake crawling over his
mothers face. She was asleep and he
thought the snake was going to kill her.
Mad with with fear, he ran to her
room. Creeping steathlly to the bed
side and summoning all his strength,
he grabbed the serpent by its jaws in
an effort to tear them apart.
He says he heard cry,"Henry you
are killing me" but he pulled the hard
er, and the serpent was soon dead
Afterwrd he awolSe in cold perspira-
ton, and the full force of the dream
came to him. At once he went to his
mothers room, and was Mortified to
find her dead.
He had torn her jaws apart as he
had thought he was tearing those OF
the snake.

New York, December 27.-Queen Will
helmina is again considering her pro-
ject of restoring to the city of Am

says a dispatch from The Hague to
the Journal and American. This
place, which has sometimes been de-

OF the municipality of Amsterdam.
Louis Bonaparte however, when king
of Holland, established his residence
there and 1t has ever since remained
the Amsterdam abode of the sover--
