VOW to thwart the meat trust
n and compel reduction of the
i j price of meats? Yellow editors,
Democratic, free trade, mug
wump and occasionally Republican
answer in unison: "Repeal the tar
iff on live stock and meatsl" Eas-
lest thing in the world. When any
thing goes wrong, when prices ad-
vance by reason of exceptional con-
ditions, such as scarcity and increas-
ed cost of production, tinker the
tariff. Let in competitive foreign
products TO break down prices. Pos
sibly this will not break down prices
in the present instance. Possibly
the meat trust is prepared to buy up
all that comes in on the hoof or in
cold storage from Mexico, Canada,
Argentina or Australia, and still keep
up prices. Trusts have been known
to do thatklnd of thing. No matter.
Repeal the tariff anyhow. Don't
bother about other remedies already
at hand, such as the enforcement of
the law, now openly violated, which
forbids rebates and special foreign
concessions to the big shippers who
make up the meat trust; such as the
enforcement of state laws against
trust extortions. These remedies
would, to be sure, go straight to the
root of the matter, but they involve
some trouble. Therefore, ignore
them and tackle the tariff. What
could be simpler?
To repeal the tariff on live stock
and meats might possibly have
some influence in breaking down
prices, but the chances are it would
not. The tariff had nothing to do
with last years shortage of billion
bushels IN our corn crop, and its re-
peal would not make good that
shortage. But even supposing that
meat prices were to give way a lit
tle-and It would be but a little-by

DENVER, Col, Feb. 12.-Governor Or
man to-day made public the following tele-
gram which he received last Monday from
Secretary of State Hay:
1T is reported that the Chinese residents,
about seventy i'm number. have been or
dered to leave SivertOn under threat of
violence. An appeal has been made through
the Chinese minister for their protection.
The department would be pleased if you
would take such action as you may find
necessary for the protection of their rights
of person, business and property.
Governor Orman said to-day he knew
nothing of any trouble at Silverton until
he received Secretary Hays telegram, but
he Immediately asked the sheriff of San
Juan county to send him full particulars
OF the trouble and to see that no violence
is done to the Chinese residents there
special to the Post from Silverton to-
day says: "Of the fifty Chinese who
resided in Silverton ten days ago twenty
five remain. The remaining twenty-five it
is believed will depart within the next week
or so When the last Chinanan leaves
the ban against the yellow man will be
strictly enforced. The effuX is due TO the
boycott declared two weeks ago by the

informed that they could not remain here.
The Chinese are not being hurried i'm their

SCHOOLS FOR THE SOUTH
MILLIONS TO BE GIVEN BY CHARI-
TABLE MEN OF THE NORTH.
j. ID. Rockefeller and Others Orgnniz-
ing an Educational Movement
of Vast Importance.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia movement to
organize educational work in the United
States especially in the South, on a scale
larger than has ever been attempted here
tofore has been gaining strength rapidly in
this city within a few weeks, says the
Tribune 1t has attracted the favor of
dozen or more men of great wealth, among
them John d. Rockefeller and his son. who
are said to have determined to give needed
financial support. Several millions of dol
lars are ready to be pledged to the great
undertaking and abundant means will be
available as soon as the plans for organic
ing are completed. While there have been
frequent conferences of late regarding the
educational organizations to be formed, it
may be several weeks before the men who
are busy with it's plans are ready to apply
for charters. So far as there has been sub
stantial agreement. however, the plans in
dictate the formation of a strong central
educational board, which will direct in a
general way the educational work to be
performed in various States i'm branch or
CARNATIONS. For time the efforts of the
organization will be directed to educational
work in the South. but later on, when
Southern educational systems and facilities
have been brought up to high standard,
the organization probably will direct some
of its energies TO educational work i'm
Northern and Western States. The or
ganization is to be formed on such sub
stantial basis that it will be self-perpetuat-
ing and will be expected to continue to in
crease in power and influence long after
the men who gave il the start are dead
When the central board has been formed
Under the charters 10 be obtained IL is eX-
pected that William II. Baldwin. jr.. Will
be placed at its head. Mr.. Baldwin has
been active in municipal reform work while
he has been president of the Long Island
Railroad. He has been devoting much
thought and study TO the question of edu-
cational work in the South and has been a
prominent member of the executive board
of the Southern Educational Conference, of
which Robert e. ogden is the chairman.
The great educational organization will
be, in some measure, a result of the inVes-
legations made by the Southern Educa-
tiOnal Conference. For several years men
of means have been induced TO join in the
conference over plans for improving edu-
cational facilities in the South Ii has been
made plain at such conferences that the
South was too poor 10 provide for its peo-
pie, both white and black as good schools
were needed. Several of the men con-
Cerned in the Southern Educational Confer
ence have been interested In the work done
under the supervision of boards of trustees
controlling the funds for education ia the
South provided by the late George Pea
bOdV and the late John Fox Peabody

report that a naval engagement took place
Monday last off the coast of Venezuela,
though the sound of cannonading was
heard here that morning. The Venezuelan
gunboat Bolivar is cruising in these waters.
The boat Libertador is also off this island.
Late in the day the following report of the
engagement between the Libertador and
the Crespo was obtained:
ION board the Libertador off Cumarebo,
Venezuela, Feb. Z:
I'VE left the vicinity of Curacao at 4
clock this morning, going southwark. We
were informed by a schooner that Nene-
Zuelan government warships were off La
Nelade Coro and we headed south at full
speed. AT 2 o'clock in the afternoon we
met the steamer Crespo before Cumarebo
and she Immediately prepared for the fight.
To our summons to surrender, which was
accompanied by blank cannon shot, the
Crespo replied by opening fire on us to
which the LibertadOr answered by direct
ing the fire of her heavy and rapid-fire guns
on the Crespo.
THE latter kept up firing for time but
her shells did not strike US, while our shells
inflicted serious damage to her. After half
an hours fighting the Crespo hoisted the
white flag and surrendered Internationally.

our cruise.

rived on board the Libertador we noticed
that his hat had been pierced by bullets
and we acknowledged that he and all mis-
crew had fought valiantly MATOS."
The signer of the foregoing report is Gen.
Manuel A. MatOs, the leader of the Vene-
zuelan revolution and commander of the
Libertador.
The political situation in Venezuela is I'M

of manslaughter in the fourth degree and
his punishment fixed at two years in the
penitentiary for completely in the murder
of Philip III. Kennedy. who was shot and
killed by his wife, Lulu Prince Kennedy,

portions Of the islands, the memorial says,
there are thousands OF prosecutions brought
against the revOlutiOnists who have sur

this connection the memorial asserts there
are many revolutionists who have thus

families suffer the greatest sorrow and

all three of these great news associations
sent out garbled and colored reports
In response 10 an inquiry Mr. Lodge said
tie committee had been as diligent as pos
sible in the conduct of its investigation
and witnesses would be heard as rapidly as
was practicable.
Mr.. Patterson said that when the Philip
pine committee had the matter of the hear
ings under consideration il was his recol-
lection that the chairman (Mr LODGE had
suggested that no members of the press
at all be admitted to the meetings
Il never made such a Suggestion-never,

the senator"
Notwithstanding, continued Mr.. Patter-
son, L reiterate my statement
Il ask the senator" interrupted Mr.
Lodge, If he reiterates the statement, If
! suggested that the press be excluded?'
That is my recollection replied Mr..
Patterson.
Well" protested Mr.. Lodge, 81 have
denied that statement most emphatically."
Mr.. Hoar raised the point of order that
committee discussions were not proper sub
jects Of comment in the Senate, and the
point was sustained.
Mr. Patterson then made an argument in
support OF opening the committee hearings
in the Philippine investigation to all the
rangement, he added the country would re-
ceive every phase and color of the investi-
cation, and correspondents would be af-
forded an opportunity to enlarge upon and
offer suggestions concerning the testimony.
He agreed with the complaining newspaper
that the committee was conducting, in a
sense, a star chamber hearing. The news
papers, he maintained, should have every
opportunity to report the investigation
through their own representatives
When the memorial of the Federal party
was presented Mr.. Hoar, disclaiming any
desire to precipitate a debate at this time,
remarked sarcastically that the memorial
was a pretty good commentary on the
statute of the Philippine Commission which
prohibited the PRONUNCIATION by any So
c1ety of any political opilion or policy.
He said it appeared lawful under the acts
of the commission to publish political opin
ions when three members of the Philippine
Commission were members CT the society,
provided that the publication be accom-
panied by an expression of marvellous
admiration for the commission itself.
