with Many Severe Re-
Yersea.

Victoria, Venezuela, between the army
commanded by President Castro and the
revolutionary forces, which began Monday
morning. resulting in the retirement of

5 O'Clock Wednesday morning. At that time
the president had received enforcement
and had over 5000 men engaged against
1000 revolutionlsts.
The artillery played a part never before
seen in Venezuela. Shortly before 5 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon the revolutionists APP
peared. to have gained a slight advantage.
The presidents artillery, which numbered
fifteen guns, had been reduced to four guns.
La Victoria was crowded with wounded and
there were no provisions.
The British cruiser Indefatigable has left
La Guayra for Tucacas with provisions for
the foreign residents there, some of whom
are said to be dying Of hunger as a result
of the concentration measures adopted by
the Venezuelan authorities. Indefatigable

The German ruise Vineta has also left

concluded in June of 1888 and which es-
tablished a Russo-Turkish alliance.
Under the terms of this treaty the porte
undertook at Russia's request to exclude
in time of war all foreign warships from
the Black sea, while Russia undertook to
furnish aid by land and sea to the porte.
This treaty, continues the correspondent.

during the hours Of eclipse they expect to
discover nothing new.
In ancient times, when the causes which
lead to the darkening OF the moon we're not
understood, an eclipse caused much ex-
element and superstitious dread. 1t was
thought to cause an unnatural chill in the
air and to make people nervous and ex-
citable. Bea5ts Of prey are said to become
ferocious and the ordinary sounds OF ma
ture to grow strangely loud and alarming.
BarbarOus peoples have thought that some
calamity had befallen the moon god-that
It was being swallowed by some FISH OF
remarkable size, aud have tried to save it
by making loud noises and by prayer and
offerings. In a South sea island an eclipse
once caused a political upheaval. There
had been civil war among factions and the
one numerically the stronger had won. The
defeated side had retired in sullen humili-
alton to a rough and dificult part Of the
island. where 1t defed the government. BY
a treacnerous ruse the greatest chief among
these was lured among his enemies ami
killed. That night came the eclipse. The
ties which held together the different dis
tricts in common we're not strong, and tho
leaders Of one Of these, taking the dark
ening Of the moon as a sign Of the dis
pleasure Of the deity at th. death OF the
high chief, deserted their former comrades
and Joined forces with those who had
lately been defeated. With this accession
these came down from the mountains and
conquered the late vlctors.

Appeal of Prohibition.
The Triple Appeal Of Prohibition" was
the theme Of w. j. Lhamon, dean Of the
Bible college Of the University Of Missouri.
He said, in part:
The plea Of prohibition is a threefold one.
u applies IN the trst place, TO the man OF
the pockethook, the lover of money. All,
but Just here, eXclaims the advocate Of IL
cense, Is where prohibition fails. 1t Is L.
Cense and not prohibition that appeals to
the lover of money. And ne is right. II we
are TO deal forever with people who are
r6nny wise and pound foolish. The man
who prefers a present dollar to a future
guinea, who is unavoidahly ignorant of the
facts. or stubborrly blind to them, can be
dashed into voting for the dollar that he
acts out OF license regardless of the twenty
that he losses by 1t. And there are multi
tudes of such voters, driven like dumb
cattle to the polls. But they Will see by
eLd by, and they will not be forever the
slaves of patties and the dupes of dema-
gogues. Ethically the license system is per-
verse. Economically 1t its both stupid and
ptlverse.
In the second place, the appeal Of prohibit
ton to the man of the state-lover Of his
country. The days of the patriot have not
passed. There are men now who would
shoulder a musket as readily to pat down
the Liquor power as ever to put down a re-
bellion or to prosecute such a revolution as
that OF 11I6. And why2 Because they feel
that lhlS IS q question Just as vital to the
well being and future permanency of the
country as freedom itself and as unity
itself. They feel that there are govern
mental perils arising from this barbarous
business.
In the third place, there is the appeal Of
prohibition to the man among men-loYer
of men and lover of God.
Prohibition appeals to the man among
men in proportion as he is Intelligent and
humane. The man who is fit to be classed
among the sheep IN the parable, to whom
1t can be said. II was hungry and We gave
me meat, | was thirsty and We gave me
water to that man prohibition can appeal,
for he is humane. To the thirsty they give
no drink-except at 10 cents a dram for
blighting stuff this they either do or vote
to have ii done. They are goats among
men. To the hungry they give no meat,
except tariff protected beef at 25 cents a
pound. To the naked they give no cloth
ing, except tariff protected cloth, one price
higher than IL is in Canad How can pro-
hibition appeal 10 the goats among men?
But Diminishing the goats, and coming
back to the men among men, to the Samari-
tans who minister to men, apostles and
prophets and philanthropists and states
men, and such as are fit to be ranked any
where near them-to such men the plea of
prohibition is irresistible. 1t commends
Itself to them in such a way that their
COnSCienceS rise up in glad respOnse.
