MR.. VESTS EULOGIZES
GEN. WADE HAMPTON
Oeplored Recent Exchange Of
Vituperation in Senate.
Will Never Cease to Feel Kindly Toward
President for His Tribute to
General Lee.

Mr. Vest. during his speech on the
Chinese exclusion bill yesterday, contrib
uted a tender and pathetic eulogy to the
character. of his friend of many years,
Wade Hampton.
He was listened to by silent Senate
and gallery as he repeated a stanza from
Tennyson's Crossing the Bar" and there
were many wet eyes as a sob interrupted
the lines.
A Great Southern Leader.
Mr.. Vest spoke of Hampton as another
great Southern leader who had passed
over the dark river to join the great en-
campment on the other shore" and as
one whom he knew well and loved sin
cerely He closed with the quotation:
And though beyond the bourn of time
and place
The flood may bear me far,
| hope to see my pilot face to face
When l have crossed the bar"
Regretted Sectional Strife.
Mr.. Vest took occasion to comment
briefly but sorrowfully and eloquently
upon the bitter words that had been
suit of uncalled for charges against Ger
;ain States of the Union.
He said he had hoped that the men of
he North and of the south. who had re-
Gently joined in a common struggle. would
continue to stand together in time Of
peace. The South. he continued. had been
sincere nourners at the graves of Lin
coin. Of Grant, and of Mckinley.
MIR. Vests voice trembled as he de-
clared he would never cease to feel kindly
toward the present occupant Of the White
House. Mr. Roosevelt. for what he had
so recently said in tribute to Robert E.
Lee.

About 1000 Acres.

The forest embraces about 1900 acres of
land belonging to a railroad company, and
upon which there are no settlers. The
land is of no practical value he said.
An attempt had been made several
years ago to use the stone for commercial
purposes. but it was afterward found that
kind of stone in Canada would answer
the purpose as well and the destruction
of the netrified forst was stopped.
Valuable Crystals Found
There had been instances. he said,
where the petrified limbs of trees had
been blown open for the valuable crystals
which they contain. The measure was
passed without objection.

revolutionists are between Chorrera and
Chame, waiting for the war munitions which
the revolutionary gurboat Udilla must have
brought TO ChOrrera yesterday. II is I'M

ammunition.

which is to prevent Herrera receiving in

Of the difference between piece work and
the old system in the Union Pacific shops
az Omaha Charles Coons. chief clerk in the
department NJ motive power and machinery.
makes the following statement for publ
cation:
Guarantee Rate of Pay.
"'Under this system the regular rate Of
pay per hour is guaranteed to employees ac-
cording to the character Of work to be per-
formed and the grade Of service, and what
they can earn besides is only limited by
their ability and experiences.
For instance, the standard rate OF pay
per hour for machinists, blacksmiths and
boilermakers is 80 cent per hour. Under
the p~iece-work system they are guaranteed
80 cent an hour for every hours work, but
IL, guaged by the amount of piece work
actually done, they earn more than 80 cents
an hour, they receive that amount. II, on
the other hand, they make less than the 30
cents an hour, by the piece work, the COM
pany makes up the difference and pays them
the full 80 cents an hour.
Another illustration: The standard rate
for carpenters per hour is 27h cents or 80
cents, as the case may be, and the COM
pany guarantees that they shall not re-
ceive less, but they have an opportunity to
maxi as much more as they are able to.
T regular rate for coach painters is
27h cents an hour. During August out Of a
total of seven the wages varied from 80 clio
cents to SO $40 cents per hour.
The regular rate for coppersmiths is
25 cents an hour. Last month one man
averaged AZ cents an hour, or very nearly
double what he would have made under
the old system.
The regular rate for blacksmiths is
35 cents an hour. Last month one Of the
company's blacksmiths made an average Of
5sh cents per hour, a gain Of So per cent.
In the same way the hourly rate for
drillers is 20 cents. One of the company's
drillers last month averaged "a cents an
hour, nearly three times what he would
have made under the old system"
No Time for
The published statement Of Attorney Bald
win In which the Union Pacific lawyer &C
cuses the strikers of extreme violence
created a wave Of Indignation among the
strikers. They resent the imputations as
unjust and unfounded, yet none Of the
leaders had any formal reply to make. Vice
President Conlon said: at would be fool
ish for us to answer such a preposterous
series Of statements as Baldwin makes. He
knows himself that what he says is absurd
and I think the intelligent public knows the
same thing. We can't waste time replying
to such false accusations"

NO DAMAGE TO CORN CROP
Farmer Reports that FrOsts of Re
cent Nights Have Done
No Harm.

A. Corbin OF Grand Island, Neb., a Ne
braska farmer for twenty-five years, was
in Omaha yesterday and denied fatty that
the killing frosts had hurt corn. Said he:
This morning / was at Fremont and 1
went into the corn fields on purpose to
ascertain the damage done by last nights's
killing frost. There was absolutely none.
In the first place. all the corn, except that
very late stun, is practically made now.
Then it was interesting to note that the
corn is of so dense growth that the frost
could not even get down to the ground"

A dispatch from Caracas. September II,
said that the government had issued a de-
cree declaring General Matos a traitor and
ordering him to be tried on a charge of
piracy and also for having offered control
Of the finances of Venezuela, in case OF
his success in the revolution to outside
capitalists on the same basis as prevails
In Egypt.
Same Report Heard Elsewhere.
WILLEMsTAD, Island of Curacao, Sept.
13.-News from Venezuela which has reached
here is to the effect that the revolutionists
have occupied Rio Chico, in the state Of
Miranda, sixty miles southeast Of Caracas,
and are now marching on La Guaira.
A battle also occurred at Los Teques
about twenty-five miles southwest of Cara
cas-. The revolutionists surprised the town
by moonlight, killing sixty men Of the
government force and |wounding nineteen
with cutlasses. The wounded later were
taken to Caracas. The report of General
Mates alleged offer TO foreigners Of con-
troll Of the finances, In the event OF the
Tevolutionists being victorious, is consid-
cred in Venezuela as absurd. 1t is claimed
there that the government spread the re-
port in order to discredit the revolution.
COLON. Sept. 13.-The situation here Is
unbroken. The government Is adopting
stringent measures against the liberals. The
United States cruiser Cincinnati Is expected

no prizes have been disposed of by any

The question is also complicated by the
prohibition of the navigation OF inland
waters and closing of ports to trade.
1t is rumored that the so-called biockad-
ing vessels cruise about to pick up small
Venezuelan vessels, many OF them probably
engaged in smuggling; so far as / know, no
objection has been hade TO these irregular
proceedings, but II the so-called blockaders
should extend their operations to foreign
vessels outside of the three-mile limit the
cases will be very different, as / do not

blockade gives the Venezuelan government
any war rights.
Only One Port Now Left.

to the revolution in Venezuela, as follows

consular agent at Barcelona advised me
that after the surrender the sacking con
tinued and that the search of houses was
then going on and money was being de-
manded from foreigners, that no guarantee
Of lives and property was given and tina
the situation was very critical.

The women who are supporting the

The finances of the organization are low at
