GERMANY MAY LAND MARINES.

Berlin, Aug. 15.-The government does not
wish it to be assumed that Germany will not
under any circumstances land marines at
Venezuelan ports, because such necessity might
arise If a German consulate were attacked or
German citizens maltreated or plundered. The
Foreign Office is watching affairs in Venezuela
closely and is in cable communication with
German war vessels in the Caribbean but gives
out no news. II is said Germany is pursuing in
a general way the same policy as the United
States but statements regarding cooperation
are characterized as premature.

CONSENT OF CONGRESS NECESSARY.
These reports Of revenue collections and the
remarkably good health showing are of course,
gratifying to the authorities in Washington. but
they do not settle the question of the power of
the Cuban Government to make bond issue
of such proportions that proposed without
first securing the consent of the United States
Congress. The Tribune'S contention that Con-
gress the only power in this country TO
supervise Cuban debt making Is conceded
by everybody here except Minister Quesada
Although refusing TO discuss the subject pup
licly, Secretary Shaw of the Treasury and the
officials of the State Department. who at one
time thought it would be their Joint duty TO
look into the loan proposition, now acknOWle ledge
by their course in refusing to interfere that
they have no authority under the Platt amend
ment to touch the Cuban loan question. Un-
doubtedly however. the Platt amendment
which is a statute in this country we'll as
part of the constitution Of Cuba, imposes On
the Congress of the United States the duty to
supervise Cuba's debt making power carefully.
This is known to be the view OF Senator Piatt
of Connecticut. the author of the amendment
and the recognized authority in Congress on all
Cuban subjects.
In a recent magazine article Mr.. Platt dis
tinctly stated this view of the case, and there
is no doubt that he will adhere to 1t with his
usual frmness when Congress meets in Decem-
ber That the Cuban lawmakers are dubious
of their power to issue bonds without first get
ting the consent of the United States Congress
is shown by the fact that in the bond act now
pending il is provided that President Palna
shall have six months in which to place the
loan. In other words, the Cuban Congress fore
sees that in all probability the United States
Congress. under the reserved authority OF the
Platt amendment will assert its right 10 eX-
anime the ability of Cuba to carry such a
large loan at this time. and. therefore the SIN
months clause put into the act -,
What the Congress OF the United states N:h
do is matter of speculation. AT It's recent see
sion il yielded to the demands of powerful IN
terests that plotting to pluck CUBA ana as
there are excellent reasons TO believe that these
interests are promoting the loan scheme as
part of thir general plan of loot ana Spoia 'lo',
IL is conceivable that they will be strong enoue II
in both houses again next winter to force ap
proval of the bond issue.

Britton, convicted OF the illegal sale
Of whiskey in this county, Beitton
has been in the Greene county jail
five months serving outa fine Of
.$100 which he was not able to pay.
His wife and two children are
destitute and are in the poor house,
the wife being in delicate health and
unable to earn a living for herself
and children.
The petition for Britton's pardon
was numercusly signed, every
preacher in Paragould being on it,
as we are informed. The county is
feeding Britton and his wife and
children at an expense of more
than 500.
In granting the pardon we infer
that Gov. Huddlesten has the APP
proval of the people of the county,
especially those familiar with the
circumstances Of the case.
His fine would not have been lain
ont in jail until Septem Der. To get
out now will enable Britton to 90 to

experience will prove valuable
lesson to him.

PUBLIC MAY VISIT ABBEY
Leasing of Abbey Near site of Battle
OF Hastings by American Causes
Tempest in Teapot

LONDON, Sept. ga tempest In a teacup
has been raised at Hastings by a report that
M, P. Grace, brother Of former Mayor Grace
OF New York. who recently leased Battle
abbey, near the site Of the battle Of Hast
ings, had decided to curtall the public's
privilege Of inspecting the historic edince.
II was said that admission would be
granted only one day each week, and upon
the payment of 10 cents, the money to be
devoted to the aid Of local charities, instead
Of allowing people to visit the abbey every
day as formerly. The Inhabitants of Hast
ings were. therefore, thrown into consterna-
tion, and one paper went so far as to say:
"Mr. Grace has evidently lived long enough
in London to be thoroughly imbued with
the principle that an Englishman's house
is his castle"
Mr.. Grace informs the Associated Press
that no change whatever will be made.
When the late duchess Of Cleveland. to
whom the abbey formerly belonged, resided
on the estate, the public was only admitted
on Tuesday and this rule will be continued.
When the Graces are away the public can
see the show place every day on payment
OF a small Zee TO neip the poor OF Hastings.
Referring to other rumors that he was
desecrating the interior of the building, Mr..
Grace said: ut Is all quite absurd. Every
thing remains as 1t is. All the ancient fea-
lures Of the building. inside and outside.
will be preserved. We are only putting in
electric lights and baths, There was not q
bath in the whole place."

DUKEDoM QUICKLY SETTLED
Cousins Adjust the matter in a Most
Informal Manner while
at Elton.


LONDON, Sept. 6.-How the duchy OF
saxo-Coburg and Gotha secured its ruler
elect is told by a correspondent Of Outlook,
who quotes q young relative who was at
Elton with Prince Arthur OF Connaught. the
rlghtful heir OF the duchy, and the luke OF
Of Albany, now duke Of saxe-Coburg and
Gotha. What happened the day the news
came OF Prince Alfred OF saxe-Coburg and
Goths's death was told in his own words:
"Connaught met Albany. who was a Jolly,
decent chap and much more popular than
Connaught. and said to him: Look here,
you have heard, / suppose, that they want
me to go on to Germany and be duke Of
Coburg?'
Yes said Albany.
"'well,' continued his cousin, L am going
into the British army, and I am not going
to turn German. So that's all about IT..
You can 60 and be duke OF Coburg. 1t will
Just suit YOU
But said Albany, 4 do not want to go
to Germany and l do not want to leave
Eton.'
Look here, young chap said Con-
naught, who is a year or two older, you've
got to be luke Of Coburg and II is no use
talking rot. Next Sunday you are going up
to Windsor to lunch with -grsndmamma, and
mind you, tell her It's all right. and that you
agree. II you don't, look out for squalls
and take care / don't kick you jolly well all
around the school yard

cause he is supposed to be a rather delicate
chap and Connaught could easily have
kicked him II he had wanted to-"
