SEEKING DISCOUNT LIST
Leading Newspapers in New York Re
fused to Insert His Offer as
an Advertisement.

Before going to New York today to con-
fer with Messrs. Cable and Nixon, Chair
man Griggs of the democratic congressional
committee made few additional remarks
regarding the special discount sheets of
American exporters which his committee so
much coveted
The news in this connection today is that
the agent of the committee has been able
to get exporters prices from about five of
the two hundred exporting firms of this
country, although it is expressly stated
'hat these prices are not low as would
be shown by the discount sheets for which
the reward of s1OO still stands. On the re-
newal of this offer Mr.. Griggs said today:
Ihe democratic congressional committee
is as anxious as ever to obtain one of these
special discount sheets for use in the con-
sresslonal campaign Of this year, and as
said IN an interview on this subject a few
days ago, we will gladly give 500 for it, if
demanded. l understand that about g. 600 of
these sheets are published every month,
yet they are as scarce in the United States
as snakes in Ireland
Ihe prices which Mr.. Grieg has oht a mod
however, he regards as vitality important to
the democratic contention that the Ameri-
SaH manufacturer is selling his wares at a
nigh price in this country which enables him
to compete a much lower prices in the En-
ropean market with the foreign manufac-
turer' lie explains that an agen, of the
committee has for several months been en-
gagged In an effort to secure some of the
Speclal discount sheets of leading export
houses By the cooperation of several
lrlendly manufacturers he has succeeded in
opialning the export price list of about
haif dozen Of the 200 exporting houses of
New York: Although these lists are not
the special discount sheets advertised for
oy the committee and do not quote bottom
prices Tor export, they do quote prices far
Delow any that can be obtained in the

SAILED FOR LA GUAIRA.
Departure of the Cruiser Topeka From
Curacao.

The cruiser Topeka, which has been at
Curacao for several days, has left that
port for La Guaira, presumably to report
to Minister Bowen upon the condition of
affairs in that vicinity. The Cincinnati.
which sailed yesterday from La Guaira, has
arrived at Guanta. The Navy Department
has received nothing from the comma nler
OF either of these vessels regarding recent
revolutionary movements in Venezuela. and
it is supposed that whatever Information
they have obtained will be transmitted
through Minister Bowen, at whose REQUEST
the ships visited the points named.
