London. Dec. lO.-The Venezuelan
row came up in the Ho use Of Com
mons today when Keirchardie ask ed
the government to make known the
cause of coercive measures against the
South American republic. Under
secretary for foreign affairs, Viscount

Among other matters that the COM

of British subjects, the destruction Of
British property, damage to railroa d

SHAW ASKS TARIFF CHANGES
Greater "DrawbRcks" should he Al
lowed Now Country Has Conn
merciRI Independence.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 9.--The repub-
lican state convention was opened tonight
by a rally in the Hyperion theater at which
the principal speaker was Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw.
Secretary Shaw said in part: There was
a time when the colleges taught free trade.
II you know Of any college that teaches
free trade now teach that college better.
II you intend to legislste for the entire
world free trade is best, but IL for this
country protection is better"
Mr.. Shaw discussed trusts and trust
legislation at length. He declared the re-
publican convention Of 1873 was the first
TO propose a curb for the trusts, and said
President Roosevelt was now doing more
than any other president to enforce the
laws against combinations. The democrats
urged the removal of all tariff duties from
what they were pleased to term raw ma
terial, but in practice the republican policy
of protection, extended to all American
labor had resulted to the advantage not
only Of the manufacturers who supply the
American market, but also to the American
exporter.
Personally he would be glad to see draw
back provisions made more liberal, but the
same man must import, manufacture and
export More liberal provisions might be
safely made without fear OF fraud and
without embarrassment to the public
revenues. The country had attained it's
commercial independence, and every rea-
sonable advantage should be given to him
whose enterprise furnished employment to
American citizens.

SIXTY THOUSAND ARE OUT
Strike of Coal Miners in France Be
gins to Assume q Serious
Aspect.

PARIS, Oct. s.-Dispatches received here
from the coal mining regions indicate the
strikers numbered about $4,000 men this
morning, the departments affected being
the Nord. the Pas de Calais and the Loire
and Carmaux coal fields.
The government has issued rigorous in
structions to prevent disorders, professions
and the carrying of flags and other en-
blems, and prohibiting also the sale of old
muskets transformed into riied weapons.
of which quantities exist in France. A
number OF cases of strikers interfering with
nonunion men and causing them to cease
work have occurred, but there has been no
serious collision.
The Miners Central union has written
to Commissioner Combs. declaring that the
strike Is due to the refusal OF the COM
panies to grant their employees just re-
quests and asking the government to in
tervene with the companies, and also to lay
the mems demands before the Chamber OF
Deputies Immediately after II reassembles.
The "yellows," as the anti-strikers are
called, are preparing to offer resistance In
case attempts are made to prevent them
from working. They are distributing pistols
and cartridges and are organizing night
patrols. It is believed that at the most
l2O 900 of the 1e2, 900 miners in France will
join the strike.

BoER GENERALS ATTACKED
Oner British Credentials TO kaiser
and AfterwRrd Refuse 60
Apply for Them.

BERLIN, Oct. e.-It developed today that
the Boer generals declined to seek presen-
tation to Emperor william through the
British ambassador and the fact has pro-
duced commotion among politicians and
courtiers.
Last Monday the Foreign ONCE received a
message from the generals announcing that
they had not the slightest objection to ap-
plying for an interview through British
channels and It was understood that Great
Britain was willing to countenance the in
terview.
Then on Wednesday came dispatch say
ing the generals we're determined not to
apply to the British government. but would
leave the emperor to summon them him
self This of course, would have put his
majesty in direct opposition to Great Brit
ain, and the announcement Immediately
followed that the interview would not take
place.
The press today attacks the Boer gen
erals in the style which st has heretofore
reserved for Mr.. Chamberlain. Some Of the
newspapers oppose the generals being al
lowed to come here at all. and advocate the
suppression of the proposed scenic recep-
tion, including girls crowning the generals
with laurel wreaths. Various explanations
are given Of the Beers motives. favorite
idea that DR.. Leyds, who Is called the
Beers evil genius. devised the whole thing
so as to strike back at the emperor for re-
fusing to receive Mr.. Kruger. The recep-
tion committee is advised that the generals
intend to come here, as though nothing had
happened and any anti-British demonstra-
tion now will certainly be stopped by the
police.

was so seriously injured that she died few
minutes later In the station. Hardly a
person escaped uninjured
Two Of the passengers are in a critical
condition. Willie Hall of Waterbury re-
ceived severe injuries and his spine was
injured. Richard Farr of Waterville had
his left arm and leg so badly crushed that
it became necessary to amputate these

Engineer Edward Farrell. His fireman was
Lawrence Lilis. Both men jumped from
the train when It was seen that an acci-
dent was inevitable. In doing so Lillis was
slightly injured.

TRANsvAAL CUTS TIE TARIFF
Duties Are Abolished on Many Things
Needed in Upbuildins of
the Country.

PRETORIA, Oct 9.--An extraordinary Is
sue Of the Gazette says:
The amended tariffs are only provisional,
the government desiring ultimately to en-
ter the customs union on a basis which will
not sacrifice vital interests OF the Trans
vaal. The negotiations thus far have been
unavaillng because the Transvaal does not
feel justified in increasing the duties on
certain fodstuffs which the coast colonies
consider necessary for the protection of
their products
Meanwhile the conditions In the Trans
vaal preclude further della IN adjusting
the unjustihably high duties and the duties
ordinarily reasonable. but xcessive in a
country which practically ha to be RENTED.
The duties, therefore, i srs n abolished on
machinery, building materi kt. metals and
agricultural implementss
The large sacrifice of feVd ple Involved Is
considered preferable to tinca using by taxa
tion the cost Of renewing thu sndustrial cap
ttal of the colony. AZ N Us imperative,
however, to replace a portn OF the loss
the duties on wines and kirits are in
creased. The existing dll sa on dynamite
is left unaltered, owing to 4 actions bearing
on the conditions OF its n 8sufacture and
importation into the Translsin being under
discussion, but the duty wiIf be separately
dealt with as soon as possible.
The duty OF 8 cents each on poles, cents
pound on sulphuric acid, cents a pound
on lead and 12 cents pound on copper wire
are cancelled. All iron will be admitted
free. The cost Of building will be greatly
relieved by the removal OF duties on ce-
ment and timber.

places for the demonstration OF pure coffee,
and that coffee producing and consI ming
countries may prohibit the sale OF adul-
terated coffee and of substitutes bearing the
name of coffee, and in case this prohibition
cannot be enforced that a heavy duty be
imposed on such articles.
A committee on the causes of the crisis
in the coffee trade submitted resolutions
declaring that producing countries should
adopt diferential tariffs for the collection
OF import duties, applicable TO manufactured
articles and staples OF the consuming ma
tions. proportionately to the tax charged
