BLANCO
PROTESTS
MINISTER MAKES
STATEMENT CONCERNING
ISLAND SEIZURE.

Caracas, Venezuela, Sept. 25.-Dr
Blanco minister of foreign affairs, has
made the following statement regard
ing the seizure by Great Britain OF the
island of Patos:
''The British government has taken
advantage of the instruction in Vene-
zuela to appropriate an island which
belongs to this republic and the owner
ship of which by Venezuela has never
been questioned before. Great Britain
wants this island because it commands
the gulf of Paria just as Gibraltar
commands the western entrance to the
Mediterranean. With this island I'M
der the British dag, the gulf of Paria,
one of the most important bodies OF
water adjoining South America, be-
comes a British lake, for undoubtedly
the British will fortify the island, and
make it impossible for any vessel to
pass the dragons mouth without Brit
ish consent.
England might just as we'll seize
and fortify some point on the main
land of South America for fort on
Patos island would place a large part
Of the Venezuelan coast at England
mercy.
with our present troubles we can
do nothing but protest, just as the
American people once protested
against the English cruiser Alabama
until their civil war war over. When
we are at peace among ourselves we
will fight and die, if need be, in de-
Tense of Venezuelan territory"
President Castro's government
charges in effect that the seizure OF
Patos island is the result of a bargain
between the insurgents ana the Brit
ish, that the insurgents have been
making their headquarters in the
British Island of Trinidad, and that
but for British assistance the insur-
rection would long ago have been sup
pressed.

FACTIONS SPLIT ON QUESTION
OF THE TARIFF.
AFFECTS AMERICAN MEATS
Common People Want Duty on Ami
mails and Canned Meats Taken Off
But Government Approves lt-lf
Latter Prevails Tariff Bill Will
Not Receive Support.

Berlin, Sept. 25.-The government
and the reichstag majority have
reached a deadlock on the tariff. The
imperial secretary of state for the in
terror, Count Won PosadoWsky-W ehner,
enunciated to the reichstag tariff COM
mittee yesterday more sharply than
ever before the governments deter
mination not TO accept the bill as
amended at the first reading and the
committee Immediately revoted the
meat and animal duties to the same
rates as at the first reading, to which
Count Won Posadowsky-Wehn had
particularly objected.
Herr Herold, a centrist leader, af-
firmed that without these duties the
centrists would not support the bill
and Representatives of the agri-
ans, town conservative factions and
portions of the national liberals sus-
tanned Herold's position.
Count Won Posadowsky-Wehn
made a confidential statement to the
committeeman respecting the govern
ment's reasons for rejecting the mini
mum scale of duties on animals and
meats These reasons are understood
to be in connection with the negotia-
tons of the new commercial treaties
Upon a member inquiring how much
of the counts remarks were confden-
tial the secretary replied that the gov
eminent wanted to know openly that
all federated states were opposed to
the animal schedule as amended. He
also dwelt on the Importance of con
tinuing the commercial treaty policy
Count Won Kanitz, an agrarian lead
er, here interiected that the tariff bill
''is the main thing in making treaties
but secondary SO far as agricultural
classes are concerned, for they have
no interest whatever in treaties like
those now existing"
Conservative papers adopt a pessi-
mistic tone regarding the bills pros
poets. The Kreuz Zeitung says the
outlook could not be more gloomy.
The new council of Frankfort on
the-Main has adopted resolution
asking the reichstag to revoke the
prohibition against the importation of
American canned meats and sausages.

WEALTHY CALIFORNIAN'S
WILL TO BE CONTESTED

Denver, Sept. 25.-Harry Stratton
of Pasadena, California, after con-
ference yesterday in this city between
his attorneys, decided to contest the
will of his father, Winfield S. STRAIT
ton, which left the bulk of his estate
estimated at $10,000,000 to $12,000,-
900 for the establishment of home
for poor sick people at Colorado
Springs. Under the provisions of the
will young Stratton forfeits $4,000
which his father bequeathed him by
making a contest.
1t is said the attorneys will receive
$1,000,000 fee if they succeed in
breaking the will. Stratton would not
consent to bring suit until he was as
sured by his attorneys that the clause
in the will providing for a forfeit of
his bequest of $4,000 if he should
make the contest, was void.

ROOT DEFENDS
ISLAND POLICY

Peoria, Sept. 25.-Secretary of War
Root was the speaker at last nights
meeting of the Illinois league of re-
publican clubs His address was con-
fined entirely to recent troubles in
the Philippines and Cuba and not once
during the evening did he mention the
tariff or trusts.
Before entering upon discussion of
his topic, the secretary paid a high
compliment to the late President Nc
Kinley. The secretary reviewed the
successful completion of the army's
task in Cuba and the administration
Philippine policy. During the speech
es the. secretary referred to the re-
prevail by democratic leaders and
newspapers of the signing of the
treaty of Paris; gave statistics as to
the number of soldiers in the Philip
pines, the losses by war and sickness,
and declared the business of the
island has fiourished despite the in
surrection. He defended the admins
tration and army against the attacks
Of political opponents, and praised the
bravery and forbearance of American
soldiers in the archipelago. Against
aspersions upon the soldiers Secretary
Root quoted the statements of McKin-
ley, Schurman, Dewey and Taft. He
declared "the howl against the army
was made mainly for political purpos-
es and the cruelties practiced have
been largely exaggerated.
In closing the secretary said the re-
publican congress had established a
system of government which "opens
to the Philippine people the path to
that enlightenment and capacity for
f-government for which Rial
longed and to the blessings which the
noble and gentle Mckinley believed
would descend upon them under the
benediction of our flag.
At the afternoon meeting of the
league speeches were delivered by
Senator Cullom, Governor Yates and
Congressman Hopkins.

DISAGREE ON LABOR QUESTION
Jane Adams and A. 3. Stickney at
Convention.


Convention.
Minneapolis, Sept. 25.-The feature
of the morning session of the national
convention of employers and en-
ployes was a lively tilt between A. B..
Stickney, president of the Chicago,
Great Western road and Miss Jane
Adams of Chicago. Sticlney read a
paper on The Rewards of Industry in
which he asserted among other things
that the chief object of labor unions
was to secure higher wages. Miss
Adams took issue with this and said
the principal object was to get shorter
hours SticBney said too many men
had been attracted to the anthracite
fields by higher wages and that
caused the present trouble. Miss Ad-
dams declared the operators were re-
sponsible for the overstocking of the
labor market. They had imported
labor and were responsible for the
present conditions. The debate was
lively and evoked much interest.
Miss Adams subject was The Social
Waste of Child Labor, but she made
her reply to Stickney before beginning
her paper.

More Fence Cutters.

Yesterday Deputy Collins brought
in VIII and Walter Armstrong, two
brothers, whom he arrested four miles
north of Cornish, charged with cutting
the wire fence of Jim Cummings,
of the Armstrong;.
From what Deputy Collins says the
Armstrong; had been in the habit Of
letting their stock into Cummings
premises in order that they might
get water and perhaps grass. The
continued dry weather caused Mr..
Cummings to have to stop them
from turning their cattle in, so hat
he might have enough water for his
own stock.
The Armstrong; must have taken
offense at this, for Mr.. Cummings
charges them now of cutting his fence
IN many places.

COTTON WILT DISCUSSED.
Commissioners Of Agriculture Handle
Important Subjects.

At recent meeting Of the Associa-
tion of Commissioners of Agriculture
at Nashville, Tenn, w A. Orlean Of
the United States department of ag-
riculture, discussed Cotton Wilt and
Cow Pea Wilt" No remedy for the
evil had been discovered, but he had
found a "resistent cotton" When a
field is ravaged an occasional stock
is left standing. and it is the seed from
this that produces the immune plant.
The cause. he said, is a fungus in the
soil thatgai ms entrance the plant
through its roots, finally cutting off all
sustenance. Experiments in the af-
fected fields had produced immune
growth. Until this matter is thor
oughly studied out, he hought the best
thing for farmers to do is to to plant
other crops on the affected lands. The
effect of a similar fungus growth of
COW peas, watermelons, cabbage and
turnips was also discussed.
