Purpose of the Conference.

The presidents purpose in having
this conference was to ascertain if
there had been any marked political
changes in the different sections of
the country during the past year.
The conference Tuesday, it is said,
showed that there had been none.
"The conference was entirely har-
monious," said one of the gentleman
who participated in it, but who de-
clined his name to be published. mo
difference of opinions developed and
the presidents position on the diff
ferent questions discussed was en-
dorsed. We talked over the entire
political situation, especially that in
the states through which the presi-
dent is to pass. The coal strike was
not talked about"

he is to insist in his demand for re-
ciprocity with Cuba. 1t is understood
that he will fully outline his policy
regarding this latter question in
some of the speeches he is to make
on his western trip. 1t also can be
stated on excellent authority that
the coal strike was not discussed.

Tariff ana Trusts Separate

1t was agreed by all that there will
be no adherence to the theory that the
tariff can be. or should be reduced
merely because certain articles were
produced by trusts or monopolies. The
effort will be made at all times to keep
the tariff and the trusts as separate
questions to be dealt with on their
merits. The plea will be made and in
sisted upon that any revision or read
justment of the tariff should be made
by the friends of protection and not
by free traders, and the country will
be appealed to not to jeopardize exist
ing prosperity by turning the tariff
over to IFS enemies

HEARD FROM AGAIN.
CAPT. ALFRED STEWART Is LIv-
ING IN LOUISIANA.

Captain Alfred Stewart, formerly
Of Paducah, has been lost sight of by
his many friends here for the past sew
eral years. He was second lieutenant
in company X, Third Kentucky, dur
ing the Standardization war, and
after returning he remained here a
while and then married and vanished
into the customary innocuous desu-
etude. But he has again been heard
from. He has located in Opeluosas,
La, and is now captain Of military
company and is very popular. Cap
tain Stewart was always popular here
and his many friends will be pleased
to learn of his success. He is a native
Of Mayheld.

FISHING PARTY RETURNED.
IT CAUGHT MORE FISH THAN 1T
COULD DISPOSE OF.

The following gentlemen composing
q fishing and hunting party returned
to the city last night after few days
sojourn at Turner'S lake, near the
scene of the Pittsburg wreck:
Messrs. James Sherrell, I. Young,
Gus Reitz, Will Bishop, Henry Leis-
ner, John Stom, Charles Hart, James
Woods, Ed weatherington and James
Slaughter.
The party left Paducah Monday and
intended to remain until tonight but
the sport was too good and they caught
too many fish to stay. The fish were
biting so fast that the party caught
more than they could keep and after
four days at the lake they had had
enough. Several squirrels were shot
but the party devo ted most of its time
to fishing.

worms did a great deal Of damage to
corn, hemp, gardens and early plant

a probable setting Of 30 per cent. of
the usual tobacco acreage. The con-
dition is given as so per cent. The
wheat crop, under most favorable con-
ditions, will be but slightly above
one. half the average for the state.
The acreage for corn has been in
creased by reason Of some wheat fields
having been put in this crop, and the
breadth Of planting reaches 1903, while
the condition is put at 81. due mainly
to the late planting and cut worms.
Fruit shows up badly. Apples are
falling of, and will make but AZ per

Peaches are nearly failure, there be-
ing but 25 per cent Of crop. There
are some cherries, plans and small
fruit. with a fair crop Of strawber.

VenexueIa's President Turns Ger
many Down on Every Point.
Berlin, Dec. 13.-President Castro's
reply to the German ultimatum is a
refusal to yield on any point.
The Foreign Office has not yet re-
ceived the text of President Castro's
reply but only bulletin from the
German charge daffaires, Herr Won
Pilgrim Baltazzi, dated Dec. 10, an
nouncing that the Presidents answer
had been placed in his hands that
day and that the Venezuelan executive
refused to yield to the German de-
nnand on all points.
This telegram, with the text of the re-
ply, was filed at Port of Spain, Is
land of Trinidad With this excep-
word since yesterday to Indicate that
the situation has grown worse. A
landing in force is not considered prob
able under any contingency. The or
ders to blockade the coast stand, and
that is all the naval commanders for
the present are authorized to do. Any
proposition that Minister Bowen might
make in behalf of President Castro
would be received in a good spirit and
carefully considered out of regard for
the channel of its transmission; but
no proposition to arbitrate has vet
reached Berlin. Neither is the Foreign
Office aware that the United States
has so far made any suggestion to
arbitrate.
Herr Won Pilgrim Baltazzi is still on
board a British vessel In the harbor
of LaGuayra.

Castro Takes His Representative
Away.
Washington Dec. 13.-One more step
toward the complete severance of re-
lations between Venezuela and the al
lies who are seeking to. punish her was
taken to-day in the withdrawal of the
Venezuelan consul from Port of Spain,
Trinidad, by orders Of his government.
Notice of the fact came to the State
Department from United States Con-
sui Smith at Port of Spain. 1t is pre-
stunned that Venezuela has sent out
similar orders to all of her other con-
suls in British and German possessions
to withdraw from their posts. These
withdrawals would not be particularly
serious, but from the fact that they
indicate a purpose on the part of Pres
ident Castro to proceed to extremes in
his Quarrel with the allies.
The State Department has not been
advised of the rejection Of President
Castro's proposal to arbitrate the dis
pute as transmitted through Minister
Bowen.
Secretary Hay had a busy time to-
day, comforting with senators and rep
resentatives, who already are beginning
to show anxiety as to the Venezuelan
situation. No one was able to suggest
how the attitude of the State Depart
ment could be improved at this mo-
ment
