BRITAIN AND GERMANY MAY
 TAKE ACTION.
The Acting Governor of Trinidad Be- lieves Powers Wall Intervene in Revolution-Senor Rogas
 Says Its War.

Port of Spain. Trinidad. Nov. 2s.-sir Courteray Knollys. acting Governor oi Trinidad. believes that Great Britain and Germany are preparing for joint action against Venezuela.
 The people of Trinidad. he says, think 1t time for the powers to intervene in fhe matter. Venezuelan gunboats have re- gently seized four British merchantmen in the orinoco River and the protest made regarding these seizures has not been needed -.
 An American ship Is now here. bound for the orinoco. and is awaiting decis' ion from Washington government as tc whether or not the blockade is effective
 Governor KnoIiSs declares that Vene' zrela has no cause of complaint at the failure of the powers to recognize ths blockade, as such recos hition would snear the investing of he reyolutionists witf beiiigerent rights and would close Trini' dad to Castf o's warships. which use Port of Spain as a place fer refitting. He In. sists that the island of Palos is British territory and has been so for a century and declares that ample proof of thii statement is obtainable.
 The sympathy of Trinidad is with th' revolutionists, though it is admitted thai Castro is now dominant.
 senor Rogas, agent of the revolution ists. says: -t
 The war will continue, the revolution ists have plenty of ammunition and more has been ordered. General Matos Is al Curacao for the purpose of obtaining sup plies. There are 1s,00o revoiutionists all in Venezuela, the eastern section of which country is completely under the contro of his party. If Great British and Ger many attack Venezuela the revolutions ists will sink all differences existing be- tween themselves and the Government and all venezuelans will fight for theii country. The revolution has received nc foreign support
 At the same time 1t is said In an author itative Colombian quarter that the Bogo' ta Government will reject President Cas- tro's overtures and aid in the attempt tt defeat him.

CHEERED FOR GORDON
TUsREGEE NEGROES APPLAUD
 THE VETERAN.
He Declares to Them That the southern White Man is the Best
 Friend the Southern Ne gro Has.

Tuskegee, Nov. 29.-(Special.) )-"Stand- ing in this presence. and measuring well my words, with the fear of God upon me- declare to you that the Southern white man is the best friend tho negro in the South has,"
 Such was the deliverance of General John B. Gordon under dramatic circum- stances before the teachers and students of the TusKegee Institute. Booker T. Washington's school last night The General. accompanied by former Con- gressman James E. Cobb and Hon. C. w. Hare. had but a moment before en- tered the spacious auditorium of the school and had received a welcome as warm and as hearty as any he has ever received from any audience of his own race. With one accord as he entered the door. the 1.SOO students and teachers and citizens from the town of Tuskegee jumped to their feet and made the welKin ring with salvos ot welcome. interspersed with the college yell of the male students as a huge American flag was hoisted to the rafters-
 In voice trembling with emotion, the battle-sCarred veteran of the civil war, d faced his audience of black students to deliver a lecture. The Last Days of the Confederacy." He paid an unstnted word of praise to the faithfulness of those of the negro race who, with so much faithfulness. befriended and cared for the wives and sisters of the Confed- crate soldiers who went to the front in a war having for its issue the continual ton of slavery.
 Such a record" said the General, stands to the credit of no other race on the face of the globe" He also paid a tribute to the old plantation songs sung with such power and beauty by the Tus- kegee students and thanked them and the principal of the school for their preser- vation.
 After the lecture General Gordon re- marked that he was altogether unpre- pared for the heartiness and cordiality and unusualness of the reception tender ed him by the students of Booker Wash ington's school.

DIR. SALMON TO BOSTON.
Chief of the Bureau of Animal 1n-
 dusfrY to Investigate.

Washington. Nov 29.-In pursuance of the purpose of the Agricultural Depart ment to spare no effort in the extermina- ton of the foot and mouth disease pre- yailinR among live stock in the New England States, Dr. Salmon. Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, decided today to go to Boston and take charge of the campaign in person.
 Dr. salmon said the Department had received due notice of the action of Great Britain in quarantining against the New England ports, but the Departments de- cision had been influenced more by de- sire to protect the remainder of our own country than by any fear of losing our export trade.
 He added that the action of Great Brit ain could not be construed as at all hos tile. the conditions apparently justifying 1t.
 The opinion also was expressed that so long as there is no general quarantine the exports would not be materially af- fected the expectation being that the trade which has heretofore left New Eng land ports will find outlet through other cities. -,,
 The Department today decided to allow stock to go through the quarantined States without slaughter provided the ears containing them are sealed by gov ernment inspectors at the stock yards be- fore reaching the infected region and the seals remain undisturbed.

REPORT ON COTTON CROP.
Final Statement for 1o01-1o02 by
 Agricultural Department.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The final report of the Statstician of the Agricultural Department shows the actual growth of cotton in the United States in the years 1901-'02 to have been 9,966 478 commercial bales of which 1l5.550 bales were mar keted before September 1, 1901, and $685. $36 bales between September 1, 1901. and August 31, 1902 154.592 bales being carried forward to the year 1902-03.
 The commercial crop of the year amounted to 10. 0.663 PA bales, thus exceed ing the amount actually grown by 69s, TAO bales. This excess was due in the main to the very extensive marketing of cot ton held over from previous years.
 The difference between the Statisticians s preliminary estimate of the amount grown, issued December 3, 1901, and the amount of cotton that has come into commercial channels during the year nav ing been used to disc-edit the Statisti- clans reports on the crop of the present year. a most exhaustive investigation of the commercial crop and it's composition has been made by the Department. large force of special agents having vis- ited personally every important point in the South. The results of their investi- cations are summarized in the following statement:
 The amount of cotton brought forward on September 1, 1901, was 52s, 300 bales and 19S, 190 bales of the crop of 1902-03 were marketed prior to the first of Septem- Der. There also entered into the commer- cial crop 172, 226 bales of linters and 61,512 bales made up of same and waste cotton known to. the trade as the city crop. This latter as will readily be understood is counted twice, being taken from bales already counted in the commercial move ment.
 With regard to linters the report says that the enormous growth of the seed crushing industry has resulted in an inn portant addition to the crop, the perfect delinting of the seed which results from the use of improved machinery. contrib uting to the annual crsp an item that can no longer be ignored.
 An equally exhaustive investigation shows that the total purchase of cotton by Southern mills during 'the year ending August 31, 1902, amounted to 1,sSl,SS2 bales

IN FAVOR OF AMERICA.
Professor, Asser Makes Award in famous Scaling Cases.

Famous S%akluS Sapss'
 The Hague. Nov. 2s.--Professor -Asser. the Dutch jurist. whe has been sfelrat,ns 'ns ss their .vessels by the Fussian Government about tsv years sxo. has delivered his award in favor of the UAited States. He appraiees the dSnsaSss in the case of the American schooner C. H. white at ss2. @44. in the case Of James Anna st sl.4ee. and the Cape Horn Pigeon ~ {. profsssor .Asser.. delivered his judsment in the srbitrations court in the, presence or the representatives of the United States ana Russia aud others. including the foreign min ister of The Netheriands pr. Van Lyndenar In giving his reasons for. the award: Pro fessor Asser held that the schooner H. C. White was setzed outside Russian territoriei water and that the Russian contention that a warship of one nation was entitled to pu. sue beyond tho boundaries of its territorfat seas a ship of another nation guilty of illegal action within these waters was untenabie. The arbitrator declared that the. Jurisdiction of the State could not extend beyond its terri torial waters except by special treaty. The seizure and confscation of the. C.. H. White and the imprisonment of her crew was, tnere- fore, illegal and Russia was condemned to pay the C. H. White S32.444 with interest at per cent
 The dispute was the subject of protrscted ne- gotiations resulting in an agreement in 1900 DttWeSu affairs of Russia, and Herbert H. D.. Pierce. United States charge d'affaires at St. Peters, burgg, designating Professor Asser. a member of the council of the State of The Neither lands. an arbitrator Professor Asser decided June 3o 1882 that the average catch should form the basis on which damages should Dc awarded, which was exactly the contention advanced by Mr. Pierce. who was. the adyo- cate for the United States Government. That decision carried with 1t the opinion of the court that Russia must pay damages. and only left for further argument the sum due in each case
 The case of the James Hamilton Lewis is governor by the same decision whiies in the case of the Cape Horn Pigeon, Professor As ser in fixing the damages of $Se,76o and the interest at per cent. held that the gen. erai principle that damages should include the prospective profits of which the victim had hen deprived applied equally to international litigation.
 In the case of Kate and Anna the arbitrator decided that the captain could have continued seal hunting and therefore Russia was not responsible for the prospective profits.
 Both the James Hamilton Lewis and Kate and Anna are given 6 per cent. interest on the amount awauied. .fa- gszr7s
