WAR CLOUDS GATHER
IN SOUTH AMERICA

New York, Dec. 31.-Gcrmany's dis
putc with Venezuela over the collection
OF claims against the latter country
held by German subjects is rapidly be.
coming of international Importance.
Germany is prepared to seize Venezue-
Ian ports II necessary to enforce her
demands. 1t is feared President Cas-
tro will try to meet force with force.
France also has claims against Vene-
zuela and may follow Gernany's dem.
onstration by taking similar action.
Great Britain is still another European
power to whose subjects Venezuela has
failed to pay Indebtedness due, and like
Germany, she may use force to compel
settlement.
The United States, deeply interested
in the outcome OF Venezuela's troubles,
is determined that no power shall in.
fringe upon the Monroe doctrine and u
doing all 1t can as peacemaker. One
important result Of Its representations
is Germany's decision to postpone her
demonstration long enough to give
President Castro n chance to prove his
ability or inability to cope with revolu.
tionists who are trying to overthrow
him.
The Venezuelan government declares
that Hern Enoop Is aiding the revolu-
tionists against President Castro and
is not n fit person to deal with the au-
thorities.

AN INJUNCTION STOPS
THE RAILROAD MERGER

Minneapolis. Dec. 31.-Judgc Elliott
OF the District Court of Henncpin coun-
ty yesterday granted n temporary or
der restraining the officers of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
from retiring the preferred stock of
that company. The order was issued
on the application OF Peter Power of
New York, who holds 100 shares OF the
common stock. 1t was supposed that
the failure of the action brought in the
New York courts by holders of pre-
rerred stock cleared away the last OBJ.
stacle to the retirement of the pre-
ferred on January 1st, leaving the Hill
interest In control of the road through
its majority of the common stock.
1t is inferred, although 1t does not so
appear, that the present action is
brought In behalf of the Hartman in
terest to prevent control passing out
of its hands for another year, or until
the legal standing of the Northern Sc
curities Company is settled.
Helena, Mont, Dec. 3O.-No action
was taken to-day at the meeting of the
governors and attorneys general of the
Northwestern states called to consider
plans for opposing the proposed consol.
idation of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington railway sys.
tens. From the discussion at these
meetings, however 1t was considered
probable that the plan of Governor
Van SAINT of Minnesota will be in
dorsed by the executives of other
states who were present and that the
fight against the railroad consolidation
will be carried to n finish.

The commercial aspect OF the Islands

REVENUE LAW IS DECLARED
TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

the act creating the Board Of Equnlixa-
ton there is no such body In existence.
The members OF the board Will assert
that by withdrawing tho writ OF supcS.
scdcas Judge Dixon's decision thnt the
new revenue law is unconstitutional
will he In force. The state has taken
an appeal from this decision. but. pend.
Ing an opinion ON this by tho Supreme
Court maintains that Judge Dixon's dc
cision leaves the old law In operation
and that the state officials have the
right to impose n tax under that meas
urc. The legal points involved nre 50
complex that state officials nrc Mt a
loss to know what decisive action they
can take In the matter.
One point is generally conceded. and
that Is unless some action Is taken
before midnight tonight the revenues
for 1901 may be In danger. All discus
sion OF nn extra session has been tenn
pornrily abandoned In the effort 70 de-
tcrminc upon some plan by which the
taxes for 1901 may be collected. Al
though there are objections to every
method which has yet been suggested
the plan OF rc-crcating the State Board
OF Assessors has been decided upon rs
the most feasible.
Attorney General Post yesterday
asked the judges OF the Supreme Court
TO meet this morning TO hear motion
to withdraw the writ OF supersedens
without prejudice to the case. 1t is
argued that In this way the standing of
the case now before the Supreme Court
TO determine constitutionality OF the
new revenue law will not In any way
be affected. but that the state officials
will be enabled to make the assessment
under the old law and leave the dispute
over the validity OF the revenue law
TO be passed upon by the Supreme
Court Mt later date.

Eastern Farm Lands.

In the eastern states prices Of agri-
cultural land have generally fallen In
recent years, in some cases about 80
per cent Of the figures asked during
the time Of high prices. One of the
chief causes for the decline In the
value Of land in the east appears to
be loss OF fertility in the land itself.
due, perhaps. to careless farming. In
the central and western states there
appears to be no such marked decline
in farm values as in the east. In the
northwest land seems to have been in
creasing in value, and in some locali-;
ties to a very marked degree. Farm
laborers seem to have profited more in
the past few years than their en-
ployers, or. since the fall in the prices
of farm products. even better off than
some of the farmers who employ them.
1t is also said that there is greater
opportunity for laborers to rise to in
dependent positions in agriculture
than ever before.-Detroit Free Press.

Heat Of Volcanoes.

Tho Maoris of New Zealand cook
their potatoes and other vegetables in
volcanic heat. There are n few VOL
canoes In New Zealand. and some OF
the Maoris live up In the mountains
near them. They make the volcanoes
do several useful things for them, but
the queercst is the cooking. A few
Of the volcanoes have sort Of periodic
action. They heat up the ground In
the fall and then lie idle tho remaind-
er Of the year. Those volcanoes are Of
quiet disposition and never break
loose, but they heat the ground Just
enough to do the native cooking. The
plan of the Maoris is to dig pit about
five or six feet deep and bed It with
straw. Then they put in their vege-
tables. filling up the pit quite full. and
then cover It over with more straw
and then layer of earth. And then
then they go away and lie low. Then
the volcano begins to heat up and
gets in Its fine work and the potatoes
and mangoes cook. The natives let
them stay there for long time after
the heat departs from the earth, take
them out whenever they want them.
and eat them. So the earth is at once
stove and a storehouse.-Detroit Free

Denver, Dec. 3i.-In the federal
court yesterday afternoon at o'clock
Judge Rincr delivered n decision In
which he sustained the claim that the
law creating n state board OF thirteen
assessors was unconstitutional and
that the Legislature had no power,
without n constitutional amendment.
10 delegate TO any body OF nsscssors the
right to tax property which was out
side the lines OF their individual coun-
ties. The decision In effect defeats one
OF the most important points In the
new revenue law. II has caused con-
stcrnation among state officials, who
realize that without prompt action
there may be no legal method OF col
lecting the taxes for the year 1901.
After two consultations with the
Board OF Equalization and the attor-
ncys who have been called upon Tor
advice II was decided by Governor Or
man that the only course left open was
60 apply to the supreme Court to with
draw the writ OF supcrscdcas and by
rc-creatIng the State Board OF EIunli-
zation, which was abolished by the
new revenue law. TO extend the assess
mcnts made by the State Board OF As
SCISSORS and certify them as assess
ments made by the State Board OF
Equalization acting under the old law.
There are SO many phases OF the le-
gnl tanglc in which the state officials
are involved that they do not know
which way TO steer In order to insure
the collection OF taxes for 1901. After
discussion with legal advisers they
concluded that the only course open
was to make the assessments under the
old law, acting rs State Board OF
Equalization. II is entirely possible
that the question may be raised In the
courts that owing to the passage OF
the new revenue law which repealed
