Washington, June ii.-That the

statements of prominent members Of

Died Last Night After Several Weeks
Commemorative Sixty
Years Old.
FUNERAL AT $3.50 TOMORROW.

Captain William f. Lambdin, the
veteran river man, died about
O'Clock this morning at his home, 321
North Twelfth street, after q long ILL
ness from a complication of diseases.
He had been in failing health for the
past year or more, and recently be-
came so i'll that he went to Dawson.
He spent several weeks there the first
time, and came back slightly i'm
proved, but was compelled to return
about two weeks ago.
He came. back last week, ana was
apparently better, but yesterday be-
came worse, and death relieved his
sufferings after midnight.
There was not more familiar char
acter about the river fr ont than Gap
tain Lambdin had been for the past
twenty year,. He was ors Of Psdu-
oah's best known citizens, and had
resided here for the past fifty years.
He was born in Lebanon, Ohio. bat
came here with his father, Or. Mckay
IAmbdin, in the tortiss. He grew to
manhood here, and spent most a his
life here except what time 10 resided
ct Cairo and st. Louis and was .
steamboat agent.
Al one time he elsrksd for the hat
! concern Of J. 9. jackson, for yeAfs .
leading merchant here.
Captain Lambdin served with credit
during the civil war, and was . men,
Der Of the Third lucky Confeder-
ate Volunteers.
He was . hat drummer after the
war, but about twenty years ago be-
came,s steamboat agent, and had been
one ever since, mp to . year or two
ago.
Captain Lambdin had been intimate
" associated with the local preas for
many years. He was for years river
editor of the Daily News. and had
subsequently served ON nearly every
paper in Paducah at different times.
His knowledge of steamboat ing was
very extensive, and he was very pop
ular with river men. He was ener-
getic and accommodating, and will be
greatly missed by the press of the
city, as we'll rs the river interests.
Captain Lambdin is the last of his
family, except his aged mother, Mrs.
Margaret Lsmbdin,. His father and
three brothers rest in Oak Grove, be-
side whom the remains will be buried.

A PEACE BLOCKADE.
Washington, June lin the alb
sence Of any official advices on the
subject, the officials here are in the
dark as to the reasons for the hurried
departure Of the German warships for
Venezuela, as reported in the st.
Thomas dispatch. Germany has .
big claim against Venezuela, approx.
mating 5000, 900 bolivares. One in.
ferenoe-there 10 no official informa-
tion--is that Germany has sent her
vessels to La Gusyra to enforce the
payment Of the claim, a. Venezuela
hes not attempted to meet the obliga.
ton.
The diplomatic correspondence Of
the state department shows that Ger
many has considered the question of
coercion in connection with the pay.
ment Of the claim. A Communication
from the German embassy Of Deosm.
Der 90 last. has this 10 say on the sui.
ject;
In case the German government
should be obliged 10 use coercion
against Venezuela in connection with
the pending claims Il will have to be
considered what kind Of measures
should be adopted. The most com.
plete measure Of coercion-that IL the
blockade of Venezuela harbors-would
have to be carried through without Q
declaration Of war preceding II. A
blockade, therefore, would be . peace
blockade. Such . blockade would
touch likewise the ships of neutral
powers, inasmuch as such ships, al.
though confiscation of them would
not have to be considered, would have
to be turned away and prohibited un-
til the blockade should be raised. In
the same manner European states have
proceeded on such occasions, especially
England and France"
II is not believed that the United
States government would raise any
objection should Germany undertake
the blockade Of Venezuelan ports, to
collect the claim of the Berlin com
pany. as the president, in his last
message to congress, made the fol-
lowing observation in connection with
the attitude of the American govern
ment on the Monroe doctrine:
1--WE do not guarantee any state
against punishment il IL misconducts
itself, provided that the punishment
does not take the form of the acquisi-
ton of territory by any non American

A MEASURE UNNECESSARY.
something Which abe Protective
Tariff Renders Entirely super
nuous and UncaIIed For

Gen. Grosvenor's bill requiring all
manufacturers of goods made of wool
to attach to each piece pct urcr &c
market a card declaring the material,
of which it is made Is again talked of.
This is measure of the Wool Growers
association and is designed to compel
manufacturers to use pure wool in
stead of hoddy, cotton and other sub.
stitutes. The champions of the bill at
tempt to create the impression that
more shoddy is used in American cloths
than ever before, and that ii is yefy
bad. Shoddy as now manufactured
contains nothing unwholesome: IT. is
simply wool which has once been used.
being manipulated and used again. II
has been used for years The British
manufacturer was the first to use il
in large quantities, and he does so now.
At the present time our tariff so dis.
eliminates against shoddy for manu-.
featuring purposes that il cannot be
imported TO advantage, says the In
dianapolis Journal Cottonhas always
been used more or less, else the phrase
"all wool and a yard wide" would not
be nearly hundred years old. Those
who advocate the bill are proceeding
upon the assumption that if each piece
Of goods offered by a tailor should be
stamped with the proportion Of wool
and the substitutes customers would
demand an unauthorized article If
the unadulterated should cost much
more they would not. Besides. a large
part Of the American people, and. by
the way, the best clothed people in the
world, purchase ready-madc clothing;
would the authors of this bill com
pei the manufacturers Of such clothing
to attach an affidavit to each suit. stat
ing the proportions Of wool. cotton and
shoddJ which the material may con
tain? If so, how many inspectors
would it take to make certain that the
tag gives the proportions correctly?
During the brief existence Of the
Gorman-Wilson tariff law. in which the
wooden industry suffered most. our
markets were filed with the cheap
woolens or alleged wOolens Of Furope.
and particularly Of Great Britain.
whose manufacturers we're past mas
tiers in the use Of Shoddy and other
adulterants bn the manufacture Of
WoolenS before we had begun wooden
manufacture i'm this country on
large scale. Having the notion that
whatever was British was the best. we
were more nearly being clothed with
shoddy and other substitutes for wool
than ever before or since. To tag ev-
cry piece of American-made goods 20
show the materials of which ii is made.
and allow the wooden goods of Europe
to come in without such labels might
so interfere with the use of shoddy
and cotton by home manufacturers as
to give our market for the cheaper
cloths to foreign compctitnrs.
