GOVERNMENT IS ON WHEELS
Venezuelan Capital is Transferred to
the Interior without Any Place
Being Designated.

WILLEMSTAD, Island Of Curacao, Oct
14.-The government Of Venezuela, owing to
the fear that the revolutiOnlsts might make
night attack On Caracas, and in yiew Of
the fact that Vice President Vinente Gomez
left that city yesterday morning with all
the troops available. 500 men, to reinforce
President Castro. has been transferred to
the ''provisional capital of Venezuela, in
the GuaxpurO district. surrounding los
Teques. without any town or village being
stipulated as the headquarters Of the min
listers.
Consequently the seat Of the government
may De in railroad car or in some other
place unknown to the general public. The
Venezuelan government was also actuated
in this matter by a desire not to reply to
the questions OF the foreign ministers, who
have been daily asking for redress as tho
result Of injuries inflicted on the persons OF
properties Of citizens Of the countries which
they represent.
The latest news from La Victoria, whore
an important engagement began Monday
morning between the army of President
Castro and the forces commanded by Gen.
eral Matos Mendoza, Pereloza and Riera,
states that President Castro was surrounded
| by revolutioaists and that his position was
! critical.

WANTS TARIFF COMMISSION
President Will Recommend Permanent 0om-
mittss in Next Message to Congress.
BOARD WILL HEAR EVIDENCE AND REPORT
Plan Suggested 10 Save Time and
Enable Needed RevisiOns TO BE
QuIckIy Made by Ma
tiOnaI Executive.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, oct. 14.-Postmaster
General Henry G. Payne, in an interview
today said the forthcoming annual mes
sage OF President Roosevelt to congress
would probably recommend that a perman-
'ent tariff commission be appointed.
"The presidents views in regard to the
revision of the tariff, he said, are substan-
TALLY the same as those given by Senator
Spooner in his speech last night.
He will probably favor a reduction OF
import duties upon products which no
longer need protection. He is also inclined
to favor the creation of a permanent tarin
committee. which can at all times receive
testimony. subject to expert consideration
and the varying interests Of production
and trade, and submit its reports and rec
concentrations to congress.
This will insure the thorough and care
ful compilation of all information accessible,
and will save to congressional committees
a vast amount Of labor. This was the policy
outlined by the president in his speech at
Logansport, Ind, which he had prepared for
delivery at Milwaukee and which IT is safe
to predict will be embodied in his annual
message to congress.
| "He is thoroughly in earnest in the mat
ter and favors as strongly reciprocity as
feature Of our commercial intercourse
with foreign nations.
"Since the adjournment of congress, over
whelming manifestations that the people
favor reciprocity with Cuba indicate that
the opposition to that measure has faded
away and that congress will at an early
day redeem the pledge made by President
Mckinley for reciprocal trade relations
| with Cuba"

SAVES NEGRO FROM LYNCHING
Sherin Resorts to Many Ruses to
Throw Mob on Track of
Murderer.

SHREVEPORT, La, Oct. 14.-Sheriff
Jonn spradley of NacOgdOUhes county,
Texas, today placed in Jail here James
Buchanan, self-confessed murderer of the
Hicks family. for whom a mob of several
thousand persons has been looking for two
days.
posse were compelled to resort to many
subterfuges.
Buchanan was captured in a swamp near
Nacogdoches Mobs had gathered at Ten
aha, Appleby, Nacogdoches and other
places, and to throw the mob at Nacog-
doches on the scent the sheriff sent the
negro ahead with Deputy Matthews, while
he himself took q train with, his other cons
panions. Matthews was instructed to
watch for the train. The plan miscarried,
however, as a mob saw Matthews and he
was compelled to hide in the woods with
his prisoner. Meanwhile. the crowd, be-
lieving the negro to be with Sheriff Sprad-
ley. was after that official.
At Appleby the trains passed and Sprad-
ley got aboard the west bound train as a
ruse. The crowd Immediately swarmed
aboard and then Spradley and his men slip
ped on the east bound and were greatly
relieved when they met Matthews and his
prisoner at Logansport.
All sorts OF rumors are rife tonight but
II is believed the negro is safe in the jai
here.
Later a crowd began gathering around
the prison and Sheriff Spradley spirited the
/ negro away from the Jail and put hin
aboard the west bound Texas and Pacific
train,

AGED MAN FIGHTS ROBBERS
Three Brothers, All over Seventy
Five, XIII Burglars and Save
Their Home.

CLEVELAND. Oct. H.-In a farm house
two miles from the village of Rochester,
in Lorain county, a terrible battle was
fought tonight between three aged men
named Meach and six robbers. AS the re-
suit two Of the robbers were killed. one
probably fatally wounded and two Of the
Meach boys were badly beaten.
OF the Meach boys Loren is nearly so
years, John 20 and Jarvis So.
While John was in the barn he was sur
rounded by three robbers and bound. Going
to the house they knocked Jarvis into
insensibility. John worked himself loose
and securing a shotgun stole upon the three
burglars who were working on the safe.
He shot two and fatally wounded the third.
Three companions of the men who were
watching the house got away.
Loren Is bedridden and could offer no
resistance, so he was not molested.
