Bill to That Effect Already Introduced
and Committee Likely to

Western Members Are Pledged to a
Reduction Of Duties on Ger

st. Paul, Dec. IA special dispatch
from Washington says:
"a Bills in conformity with President
Roosevelt's recommendations to place
anthracite coal on the free list have
been introduced in congress. Inas-
much as it is a direct executive recon-
mendation the ways and means COM
mittee cannot well avoid reporting the
bills favoring removing the duty on.

sentatives Dalzell and Grosvenor are
loud in their praises of the presidents
message and are quoted as indorsing
every word of it.
they will vote for putting coal on the
free list as readily as will their col
leagues, ,Messrs. Tawney and Babcock,
but tariff revision once begun, even on
black diamonds, cannot stop there.
Mr.. Tawney is pledged to reduction
Of the duties on lumber. Mr.. Babcock
is the champion of lowering the rates
on iron and steel Amendments will
certainly be germane in the committee
on ways and means. Hence, why not
have hope for tariff revision?
At the last session Mr.. Payne and
Mr.. Dalzell undertook little tariff re-
vision of their own by a reduction on
Cuban imports. Page Morris and Mr..
Tawney opened up a whole vista Of
tariff revision by securing the ,adop-
tion in the house of an amendment as
to the differential duties on German
and other sugar. It is true that Con-
gresham Sherman, in the chair, I'M
dertook to rule the amendment out of
order, but although he was strongly
supported by Payne, Dalzell and Gros-
venor, the house overruled Mr. Sher-
man and adopted the Morris amend
ment. 81
With this opening for other tariff
amendments the bill went to the SEN
ate, where fear OF a tariff discussion
resulted in the once famous Cuban bill
being put to its eternal sleep.

CASTRO TRIES 70 BACK our.
President Castro Endeavoring to Shirk
the Agreement Recently Made
with Germany.
Not Necessary to Send Emissaries to
Berlin if He Intends to Pay
Claims There.
Steps Likely to Be Taken ut Once to
Enforce Ful6llment Of His
Obligation.

Berlin, Dec. At is understood that
President Castro of Venezuela is er:
deavoring to shirk the agreement hc
made recently with Germany and his
chief aim now is to cause a disagree
ment between this country and Greai
Britain which will lead to rupture
OF their understanding in regard to the
claims. The German government has
no intention of selling Venezuelan ter
ritory or of dealing with President
Castro other than as a recalcitraEt
debtor. It has no intention, either. of
sending Warships from Germany to
Venezuela to enforce payment of
claims, as the four vessels now there
are sufficient for all purposes.
The government is now occupied in
making arrangements with England in
regard to the action to be taken by the
two countries.
Cologne, Dec. 4-The Cologne Ga.
zette prints a semi-official communi
cation in regard to the secret mission
from Venezuela to Europe to adjus,
the matter of claims of citizens of Ger
many, England and France. The Ga
zette says: s - g..
IF President Castro does not pay
what he owes steps must be taken te
make him more reasonable and more
willing. It will be much preferable II
Venezuela would fulfill her obliga
tions. ~ -
That action does not need any spe
cific assurance and if the facts prove
Venezuela's willingness to do so we
shall gladly acknowledge it. But a Sc
cret mission does not make much i'm
preston upon us"

8. Bruce, in charge of the selection of
lands for the forest reserve under the
provision Of the Morris law, has com
pleted his examination in those parts
of the reservation that were most ac-
cessible by boat and he and his men
are energetically at work near the
towns on the reservation. Various diff
fculties have arisen in the selection Of
lands, but they are giving way to the
perseverance and tact of the officials
in charge. It is not probable that the
final selection can be made until the
government surveyors have completed
their work and the fowage lines are
properly delineated so that the lands
belonging to the war department for
the purpose of raising the water in
the government dams are ascertained
This work not being completed de-
lays the forestry people, but will not
delay the classifying Of the remaining
unclassified lands by Chief Inspector

News reached Bangor, Tuesday, OF
the drowning of two men at Sourdna.
hunk lake, at a ume and under circum-
stances unknown. Some time in April,
Darius Hall of Patten, young man
well known in that region, went in COM
pany with an elderly man named Frank
Crutten of Benedicta, to care for camp
near Sourdnahunk, owned by the Great
Northern Paper Co. For some weeks
nothing was heard from them, but lately
a report came to Patten that both had
been drowned, and party went in to
investigate. The searchers found the
camp deserted, and continuing their
quest discovered the body of Hall float
ing in the lake, some distance from the
shore, while his canoe was found near
by. Somevof the party started out of
the woods with Halls body, while the
others remained to look for Crutten's
body, which at last accounts had not
been found.
