4 CAMPAIGN IS ON
American Mining Men Are Resolved
to Break Into Uncle Sans
Cabinet.
Executive Board of the National
Mining Congress Is in Session
at DeadWood.
Special to The Journal.

special to The journal.
DeadW God. S. D.. Dec. ia campaign
Of education has been entered upon by the
rational congress Of the department Of
mines and mining. 1t Is desired that the
mining industry be given the same recog-
milton as agriculture, the mining congress
holding that mining occupies d position
analogous to the occupied by agriculture
prior TO 1882 when the department of ag-
rCulture was established.
The executive board Of the mining con-
gress is in Session in Deadwood and at
this meeting plans are being formed to
have the subject acted upon at the 1903
session Of the mining congress. to be
held in DeadWood and Lead next. Septem-
Der. when 1t is expected bill will be pre-
pared, forming the new department of
government. 1t was for this object that
the International Mining congress. of
which the American Mining congress. is
the reorganization, was conceived.
It is contended that the United States
laws governing. the industry are obsa ete
and should be revised, There is much
costly litigation that is a grieVOus burden
to the mining industry. due to the insult
ficiency of the laws by which titles are
acquired. There should be a uniform Ia W
governing the location of mining claims
to revent diversity of adjudica ton when
the questions come into court. It has
been the policy of the government to i'll
crease the number of executive depart
nents whenever. the Importance Of an in
dustry warranted. At the beginning there
were but four departments. . Then the
navy was added, the postoffice. the in
terror. and finally, in 1882 agriculture.
The rapid growth of the mining indus
try has brought it to a point where il
should receive government aid and super
vision, and it is held that this can best
be accomplished by having an independ-
ent department.
The American Mining congress is ma dc
up Of persons engaged in mining in al
parts of the United States, representing
the workers Of every commercial METAL
mineral and element. 1t is endowed with
the force to make itself felt materially.

THE TWO JOHN SMITHS
Valiant Old Soldiers Who Fought
Side by side-Story of Their
Pension Romance.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington. Dec. ia curious case
of mistaken identity lies behind a bill
introduced by Representative Pearre of
Maryland to repeal a pension bill passed
at the last session. 1t is the story OF
comedy Of errors in which Uncle Sam
uNC luntarily played the part OF Santa
Claus to a poor and deserving Old SOL
der who was too modest to ask the re-
lief which he needed. The soldier Is
John Smith of East Liverpool, Ohio.
He was badly injured in the civil war and
lost his eyesight as a result of his wounds.
He drew pension of $12 a month. While
other veterans suffering from slight dis
abilities got complaisant congressman to
introduce bills increasing their pensions,
John Smith. totally disabled, plodded
along his original pension and never
thought of asking an increase. .-
In the same troop Of the same cavalry
regiment in which John Smith served
there was another John Smith. who now
lives in Cumberland. Md which is in
Mr.. Pearre's district. The two Smiths
were friends and served through the war
side by side. They were wounded in
the same battle. After the war the two
men drifted apart, but each joined the
same. soldiers organizations and there
was a remarkable similarity about their
careers. Smith of Maryland also drew
a. pension for his injuries. At the last
increase John Smiths pension from ST.
to s14 month and it was passed. He
meant Smith of Maryland. but the de-
scription of the two men were identi
cal and the pension bureau paid the in
crease to the blind Smith In Ohio. That
veteran supposed some kind friend had
interccded for him without his knowl-
edge and gratfully accepted the increase
Smith of Maryland began to make in
quiries of why he. did not receive his
increase and Mr.. Pearre discovered that
it had been going to tho wrong man..
Knowing nothing of Smith Of Ohio Mr..
Pearre introduced a bill to repeal the
bill increasing that soldiers pension as
a preliminary to giving it to the right
man. The pension committee 1nvesti-
eating the case came to the conclusion
that Smith of Ohio was better entitled
to an increase than Smith of Maryland
and the bill was not repealed Mr..
Pearre has introduced bill increased
the pension of the Maryland Smith and
the probability is that both the old
| comrades in arms will both enjoy a larger
pension as result Of the bureaus mis-
| take.

NAME A RECEIVER
A Suggestion That Uncle Sam De-
clare That Venezuela Is
Bankrupt.
And Appoint a Receiver to Collect
p: the Customs and. Settle
Its Debts. =

Washington. Dec. 19.-The latest sug-
gestion for clearing UP the Venezuelan
Situa ton is to treat that government, as
all international bankrupt and have the
president of the United States appoint a
receiver to take charge of the custom
houses, collect the revenues and. appor-
ton thenneamong the. creditors4after% set
ting aside a sufficient sum to maintain an
economical Administrations. ~
This suggestion was made to President
ROOseVent to-day, and it impressed him
favorably as way Of settlement, should
this gOvernme be finally drawn into the
affair. 1t would have to be agreed to by
the Venezuelan government and the other
governments represented as creditors and
it would have to be done without any
guarantee from this government that the
debts would be paid This government
would only consent to appoint q receiver
who should take charge of the customs
and so apportion the receipts as to keep
the government of Caracas running on an
economical basis and fairly distribute the
surplus to the creditors. It Is argued that
the customs receipts Of Venezuela are
sufficient to meet the expenses of the gov
eminent and pay off all debts within a
reasonable time if these can be handled
by some competent administra tor, who
shall have the confidence Of all the inter-
ested powers.
One explanation offered for the delay of
England and Germany in carrying forward
their plans against Venezuela is the hope
they have that their bluff will bring Presi-
dent Castro to terms without: proceeding
to either a blockade or seizure of the
custom houses and without agreeing tc
arbitrate. The business men of Caracas
and La Guaira have appealed to him tc
designate Minister Bowen as the diplo-
matte representative Of Venezuela and ar
range a settlement with all the powers
but no official information has come from
Caracas that Castro has given favorable
consideration to the appeal.
The German government, through its
representative in Washington, has ex-
planned to the state department that il
would like some guarantee: that Venezu-
ella would carry out in good faith the
finding of the court of arbitration before il
submitted its case to such a. court. II
| other words Germany does not see what
Is to be gained by accepting arbitration
now unless there is to be some guarantee
that after the case Is carried to The
Hague and decided it will not be neces
| sary to send warships to Venezuela AGAR
to carry out the verdict of that court.

revolutionists Is afforded by the fact that he is
still keeping in Jail General Guerrero and many
other Important chiefs General Hernandez. Cen

of Rio shico and Tucacas have been captured
