PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATIONS
V~enezueIans Greatly Excited by Re.
cent Events.

Willemstadt, Curacao, Dec. IL
There was a great patriotic demonstr-
ton in Caracas at s O'Clock last night
when the news arrived that the Brit
ish and German warships had seized
the Venezuelan war vessels at La
Guayfa. Crowds quickly gathered
and paraded the streets of the capt.
tai, displaying banners and singing
patriotic songs. Violent speeches
were delivered at various points. The
populace marched to the palace of
President Castro. who addressed it.
The crowds surrounded the German
Germans!"
The windows were shattered with
stones and attempts were made to
force the doors, but the latter resist
ed their efforts, and Madame Won Pill
grim-Baltazzi, the wife of the German
charge, who has been ill in bed for
the past two months and therefore
could not leave Caracas with her hus-
band, was thus saved from violence.
The crowd then marched to the Ger
man consulate and the residence of
DR.. Koehler, again throwing stones at
the windows and attempting to force
an entrance. The police made no ef-
fort to suppress the demonstration.
The excitement was still intense
when, at 10 o'clock at night, the gov
eminent ordered the arrest of all Ger
man and English residents. One hour
later 1875 persons, prominent in social
and commercial life, were crowded to-
gether in the police station. All the
British residents were arrested ex-
cept Albert Cherry, of the Venezuelan
Central railway, and MI. w. Wallace,
manager of the telephone company,
who escaped to a place of safety.
Ninety-seven German residents
were arrested, among them the Ger
man consul, Valentine Blohm and
Herr Knopf, manager of the German
Central railway. Herr Simmross,
chancellor of the German legation,
was met by the police near Bolivar
square and arrested. Amid cries of
death to the Germans" and Down
with the foreigners" the populace di-
rected it's way to the German resi-
dental quarter and gathered outside
the Hotel Klindt and the German
club.
The Belgian charge, F. s.. Goffart,
was arrested by mistake for Ger
man because of his fair complexion.
In spite of his vigorous protests he

MUST NOT LOAN ITS ENGINES.
Southern Pacific Road Notified It,
Must Stop the Practice.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 11.-John Nc
Neil, grand president of the Boiler
Makers union, who is in the city, to-
day notified the Southern Pacific road
that the loaning of engines by that
line to the Union Pacific would pre-
cipitate a general strike of boiler
makers employed by the former.
Mcneil claims that engines intend
ed for other roads are being turned
over to the Union Pacific and says a
general strike of boiler makers will
be declared on roads which are loan

Livingston, Dec. lie. H. Harris,
who says he is from Spokane, arrived
in the city Tuesday night with a roll
of money which he claims amounted
to $500. He proceeded to see the

TIT 9c..t morning he arrived at the
police court with the complaint that
he had been robbed. In the course
CT his conversation with Police Mag
istrate Bender he became abusive and
was arrested. Yesterday he was Civ
en- a hearing and fined IS, which he
paid. After his discharge he went
around offering people all of his re-
naming money, about $40, for car
bolic acid, asserting his desire to COM
init suicide.
This came to the ears of Police.
Magistrate Bender, who procured a
small vial at a local drug store. had
it given the carbolic odor and filled
it with water. This he caused one of
the men approached by Harris to give
to the latter in the back room of a
local saloon. Harris seized the bot
tie, tore off the wrapper, pulled the
cork and swallowed the contents with
one gulp.
He was evidently astonished when
ten minutes elapsed and he still felt
well. His actions were taken as evil
dence of an earnest desire, to do him
self bodily harm, SO he was again
arrested and lodged in the city jail,
where he now is.

THE WORKERS AND CAPITAL,
Labor Problem Discussed by GaIusha
a. Grow.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE feature
of the house proceedings today was
2 thoughtful speech by the venerable
Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania on
TIE relations between labor and CAPT
tai, AT the end of the present session
he retires at the g of 70, after a
career in public life extending over
half. a century. His first speech in
the house was on MANS Right to the
Soil" He was the author of the free
homestead act. His speech today
was regarded as his valedictory to
public life and was listened to with
close attention by his colleagues.
In conclusion Mr.. Grow said:
ga labor strike is an unequal con-
test at best. 1t is a contest of en-
durance between hunger and thirst
of the human stomach and the in
come of capital. Capital in such con-
tests loses none of it's accumulation
of wealth, unless an industry itself
should be destroyed; and in such
cases labor would be the greatest
sufferer. Some method of profit
sharing between employers and en-
ployes that would secure a harmon
ious cooperation of both, so as to
prevent strikes and improve the con-
dition~of labor, is of vital Importance
to the general welfare, for the pillars
of the republic rest on the comfort
of the home and the happiness of Ia
bor."

Prompt Action Is Taken by the Allied

Prompt Action Is Taken by the Allied
Fleet.
La Guayra, Venezuela, Dec. 11-Ten
German and four British cutters cap
tured the Venezuelan fleet yesterday.
They went alongside the vessels and
ordered them to surrender, and with
out a shot being fired the British and
German forces seized the vessels in
the name of the German emperor and
the king of England. Two of the five
| vessels which are undergoing repairs
were broken Up.
The German cruiser Panther steam
ed into the harbor during these pro-
ceedings with her decks cleared for
action. The Venezuelan steamers
were taken outside the harbor and at
2 o'clock this morning the General
Crespo, Tutmo and Margarita were
| sunk, and the Ossun was the only YES
sci spared, in view of the protest
made by the French charge, who mott
fed the commodore of the allied fleet
that the Ossun is the property of a
Frenchman.
At 1890 last night 300 German sail
ors were landed and proceeded to
Cardonel, a suburb Of La Guayra in
which is situated the residence of
German Consul Lentz, who with his
family were escorted to La Guayra
and placed on board the warship
Vineta. On their way to this port
the German sailors met a party of
Venezuelan soldiers but no collision
took place.
At 5 o'clock this morning a landing
party of British seamen went to the
British consulate and conducted R.
Shunck and his family on board the
R~etribution. The German and British
residents at La Guayra have all been
arrested with the exception of Messrs.
Fieldwich, Prince and Lepage, the
English directors of the harbor cor
poration who barricaded themselves
in their houses and later were rescu-
ed by the forces of the allied powers
and taken on board the R%etribution.
The Englishmen's houses were sur
rounded by Venezuelan policemen, but
when a party of 800 sailors was land.
ed this afternoon and marched to
their relief the policemen made no
resistance and the inmates were con.
Quoted to the Retribution without
trouble.
The British and German war ships,
however, in the meantime, had clear.
ed for action.
No n here can explain the action
of the allied powers in taking action
without giving Venezuela time to re.
ply to their note. The British tor.
pedo boat destroyer Quail arrived here
this afternoon. The German cruiser
Panther left this morning in the di
rection Of Carupano and the German
cruiser Fake has sailed for Puerto
CabellO in a search for the remainder
of the Venezuelan fleet. 1t is believ.
ed that the cruiser interchangeable is
on her way to the seaport Guanta, in
the provinve of Barcelona, where the
Venezuelan gunboat R%estuardor is
nov lying.
Troops are expected here from Car.
acas, as the government is credited
with the intention of repelling any
landing by the allied forces. All the
stores and banks here are closed,
Great excitement prevails, the popula.
ton fearing the town may be shelled
