Two-sToRY BUILDING BURNS.
Serious Blaze In Chicago Causes a
 Blaze of $1oo,ooo.

Chicago, December Sire which broke out at 1:2O p. m. today completely destroyed the fve-story building at 62 to 66 Canal street, and did considerable damage to the four-story building ad- joining 1t on the south. At the first alarm of fire a panic among the 100 em- ployes of the firms occupying the build- ing was created. Many of them had nar- row escapes and for a time 1t was feared there had been many who were unable to escape, the dense smoke pre- venting a thorough search of the ruins for possible victims.
 The loss on the building and contents is estimated at over $100.000.
 The Marshall Huschart Machinery company occupied nearly the entire building. The flames were first discov- cred on the third floor, and spread so rapidly that many of the workmen were compelled to use fire escapes in order to reach the street, other avenues of escape being cut off. The fire Is supposed to have originated on the third floor

 President Castro explains further on that his government has not increased the debt of Venezuela, and that be paid all that was ordered during the revolu- ton, including the German and other railroad freight charges occasioned by the transportation of troops These acts, he says should prove the honesty of his administration and what foreigners should expect of him. Peace is not far off. and with 1t the fulfllment of all her promises. He continued:
 Probably I cannot do more. I put honor first, and will not seek excuses to disarm foolhardy enmities by accepting humiliations which would offend the dig nifty of the Venezuelan people, and which would not be in accord with my public life. I repeat, I don't believe these alarming versions. The cause of our na- tional dignity is based on onr rights and our possession of justice, and on our re- lations of friendship and mutual respect with foreign nations"
 President Castro concludes by recom- mending the Venezuelan press to observe the discretion and tact demanded by such an important matter.
 The German gunboat Panther has ar rived at LaGuayra. The English cruiser Indefatigable has left LaGuayra for Trinidad on a special mission.

SENATORNELSONHASPLAN
 TO CONTROL THE TRUSTS

Washington, December s.-senator Nell for an amendment to the constitution. SC as to give congress the power to contro trusts, and also a bill to amend the Sher- man antitrust law by more stringent pro- visions. The provision for an amendment to the constitution was as follows:
 Congress shall have the power to de- fine. regulate, prohibit or dissolve trusts, monopolies or combinations, whether ex- isting in the form of a corporation or otherwise; congress shall also have power to license. regulate and control all corpo- rations engaged in trade. commerce or other business among the several states or with foreign nations"

coerce Venezuela, and if any answer had been made to our repeated protests and demands, no such action as now taken would have been proceeded with, It was the persistent and insulting disregard to all representations which compelled us to move. It is now too late in the day for anything but purely diplomatic ar engagements for the satisfaction of our injuries. When the fleets have assembled there is scarcely time to deal with bankers, and financial settlement should have been suggested long ago, and would have been welcomed by both Germany and ourselves. However, any bona fide proposition will receive careful attention. Reconstruction in commercial affairs Is always better than liquidation, and if the reconstruction Of the Venezu- elan finances can be accomplished to the satisfaction of our diplomatic claims and individual losses, both Germany and Great Britain will have achieved their ends"
 Foreign Creditors Must Walt.
 Washington, December S.-The state department has received a cablegram from United States Minister Bowen at Caracas saying that the president of Venezuela has published a letter in the newspapers there saying that foreign creditors must await the re-establishment of peace, then all promises will be ful- filled. According to President Castro 8 statements, the revolutionary movement in Venezuela has been crushed in the west and only a few towns in the orient are still in the possession sef~the rebels. 1 It was estimated that these would fall into the hands of the government in the course of another week, so that the period mentioned in today's dispatch for the restoration of peace cannot be long de- ferred.
 Two French Ministers.
 Paris, December S.-Mr. Quiener, who recently made a tour of South America in behalf of French industries, will be French minister at Caracas. is now here arranging to go to his post and re- store the interrupted diplomatic inter . course between France and Venezuela, as soon as the Venezuelan minister ar | rives here.
 The Temps today devotes a column to review of the Venezuelan situation, concluding with the statement that the British and German demonstration does not constitute a menace to the Monroe doctrine in view of President Roosevelt s recent message to congress.
 London Papers Oppose It.
 London, December S-The London pa- pers this morning speak approvingly on the ultimatum to Venezuela They show no further concern regarding the attitude of the United States, which, it is taken for granted, will be one of friendly neu- trality, but the papers are concerned as to the exact etxent that Germany and Great Britain are acting in unison. Pre- mier Balfour's rather evasive reply to the question whether the ultimatum was joint or identical, together with the fact that the German official statement, unlike that of Mir Balfour did not mention Great Britain as acting in conjunction with Germany, and in fact, hardly men, toned Great Britain at all is evident that an agreement has been reached by | both to act

N ARAcAs, Venezuela, December 8. NO The Venezuelan press publishes O an open letter from President Castro on the embroglio with Great Bri- tain and Germany. In his communication President Castro says:
 Foreign cablegrams relate that cer- tain foreign nations among them Great Britain and Germany, have allied them selves together to carry out acts of vio- lence against Venezuela and their man ner of obtaining the resumption of the payment of interest on the public debt was to be suspended as a consequence of the revolution thatI lately crushed. Notwithstanding the official character of this news, refuse to believe it, because n. is unconceivable that nations which en- tertain cordial and friendly relations with Venezuela, should prefer to resort to force rather than follow the diplomatic path, especially when the supposed diff ferences comes fully within the jurisdic- ton of our laws, which are based on the principle of justice, which, together with the other attributes of authority I have just returned. Had Venezuela refused to fulfill her fiscal engagements and had justice and diplomacy exhausted their

 The President did not indicate what course he would pursue. The democratic members of the delegation, headed by Senator Simmons, called on the postmas- ter general today and asked him to recommend to the President the appoint ment of a reputable white man to the postoffce They would not indorse any candidate.
