CROWDS DEMAND FUEL.
Almost Riot at New Haven ConI-


 yards.
 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Dec. 9.-The announcement of the arrival at this port of 25,O00 tons of coal had the ef- feet of sending hundreds of people to the local coalyards yesterday, all en- deavoring to get share of the latest shipment At one of the yards a crowd of persons with baskets and pushcarts made urgent demands for coal, but were refused, the firm saying that while they had q small amount of coal for regular customers they could not supply other applicants. The police were sent for to drive the throng away from the yard, but as the people were orderly the police declined to interfere. The hands at the yard finally drove the crowd back and shut the gates:
 Similar scenes were enacted at other yards. Many disappointed ones found their way to the police stations and de- manded that they be told where they could buy coal. One man who said his family was suffering threatened to tear down the coal shed if necessary to get fuel. Some of the women wept as they told stories of suffering The police were poWerless to help them.
 Most of the coal that has just come here will be shipped to inland parts. Part of the lot is soft coal. Local deal CTS who had coal arrive reported that it vas all sold early in the day.

Give Chamber laif's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears. and it will dispe1 all symptoms of croup.

MINISTERS LEAVE CARACAS.
Copies of UItfmatu1n Left at Foreign
 Ministers Home.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Dec. 9.-The British minister, W. H. D. Haggard, and the German charge d'affairs, Von Pilgrim-Baltazzi, left Caracas at s o'clock yesterday afternoon for La Guayra, where Minister Haggard went on board the British cruiser Retribu- boarded the German cruiser Vineta. Both the British and the German lega- tionS have been closed.
 Sunday afternoon the British minis ter and the German charge d'affaires deposited at the private residence of the foreign minister Lopez Barralt, separate demands, the British demand being for the settlement of claims and other matters arising out of the last revolutions and the German demand being for the payment of the interest on the German loan and other claims. The demands are without any speclfi- cation as 10 the time given for an an- swer, but they. are in the form of an uItimatum.
 The actual situation is incomprahen- sible here In Caracas. Nobody seems to know anything about the Anglo German projected demonstration. Pres ident Castro refuses to believe the con- tents of the European cables announc- ing the combined coerciye measures. The foreign minister considers men, ace on the part of Germany to be inad- missible. He said, "Cest un ballon d'essai' Ct is only. ! feeler). As for England added the minister, she has no ground for aggression.
 Venezuelan citizens consider the threat of a demonstration as bluff, and 1t is not taken seriously by the members of the foreign colony.

TO TAX IMMIGRANTS
Senate Adopts Amendment
 Fixing Three Dollar Rate.
EDUCATIONAL TEST IS LEFT OUT.
New York officials Before Committee Favor Extension of Time For De- portntion of Aliens Who Be-
 come Public Charges.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The senate yesterday adopted all the committee amendments to the immigration bill with the exception of one prescribing an educational test, and then laid aside the bill to pass number of unobjected pension bills.
 The amendment fixing three dollar head tax on each immigrant coming into the United States furnished the principal topic for debate. MT. Gallin- ger insisted that there was less neces- sity for it now than there was year ago, but it was adopted without divi- sion. A new amendment was added de- signed to stop the alleged perjury on the part of persons seeking admission to the United States, and the commit tee amendment making the head tax lien on the property of the transporta- ton lines bringing immigrants to the United States was stricken out. An amendment also was agreed to ex- empting from the tax aliens in transit through the United States and aliens once admitted and who have paid the tax.
 The senate committee on immigra- tion gave hearing to parties interest ed in the bill to regulate the immfgra- ton of aliens into the United States. Those present were l.. B. Paycon, rep resenting the Southern Pacific compa- ny; s. c. Neale and William Haywood of Washington, representing the Ha- waiian Sugar Planters association and the Honolulu chamber of commerce; Goodwin Brown and Dr. A. B. Rich ardson of the New York state lunacy commission; s. J. Barrows of New York, Commissioner of Immigration Sargent and Commissioner of Immi- grafton Williams at New York.
 Mr. Brown said in the state insane hospitals of New York there are 24,000 inmates, and they are increasing at the rate of about TOO year. One-half of the large number, he declared, are for eign born and should not have been permitted to land. He offered pro- posed amendment to the bill extending the time to two years for deporting an alien who has become public charge and with the additional provision that "any alien who becomes a public charge by reason of lunacy, idiocy or epilepsy within two years after arrival will be presumed to have become such from causes existing prior to landing unless the contrary be affirmatively shown" <k#
 Answering Senator Lodge, MT. Brown said that in the course of ten years the foreign born insane ill this country will cost the United States $5O, 100000 He declared that the state of New York would be willing to pay the entire expense of deporting all who came to the state and who became in- sane within the two years provided in his amendment should it be adopted.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 9.-The ordi- nance favored by the clergymen of this city regulating dance halls on Sunday has been defeated in the city council, and in it's place was passed one permit ting public dances on Sunday as well as on other days after due permission had been given by the director of po- lice. The first named ordinance was defeated after hearing the opinion of the director of law, who gave it as his interpretation that an ordinance for bidding Sunday dances would not stand the test of the courts. A number of clergymen were present in the coun- cil chamber, but none other than coun- cilmen was permitted to speak.

Statistics, when given in bare ffg- ures, rarely impress the imagination. But when one is confronted with the statement that the Italians who came to these United States in the year ending last June would make a city larger than Venice and third the size of Rome. the impression is such as no mere figures can convey. These same immigrants would collect into an American municipality surpass- ing our own Providence or St. Paul. IN. r, World.

Hanna Sets at Rest Certain Presi-
 dentiaI Gossip.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-United States Senator Hanna has settled for all time reports that he is to be candidate for the presidency next time.
 'T have never been a candidate" the senator said, "nor will ever be a can 0idate.. have announced that time and time again. want to say now and for all time that don't want the job, and wouldn't take it.'
 The reason for Senator Hanna's an- nouncement was the following dispatch from Washington:
 General L. T. Kitchener of this city, formerly attorney general of Indiana, has sent this letter to numerous politi- clans in that state:
 !" It is believed here that Senator Hanna will try to get the presidential nomination in 1904 and that he expects the support of Indiana. Some of the presidents friends are a little uneasy about it. Do you think that Hanna could take Indiana away from Roose- welt or Fairbanks? Kindly let me have your views by next mail if at all con- Yenient.'" .---.....
 It was at the adjournment of the an- nual meeting of the industrial branch of the National Civic federation, at 203 Broadway, when Senator Hanna was shown the above dispatch.
 "This man Kitchener" continued the senator, after he had denied that he would ever be presidential candidate, sis a chump-a big chump."
 Earlier in the day the senator, when interviewed at the Waldorf-Astoria ho- tel, where he is staying, would only say: "It is all rot-all rot. don't care to talk about it. ~
