vices add, are purusing the revolutiOnists.
Other advices say the revolution is slowly
gaining ground in the State of Lara.
The whereabouts of the steamer Liberia
dor is still unknown. The revolutionists at
Barcelona and Cumana say they cannot
understand Mato's plans. For a fortnight
past a hundred men at or in the Vicinity of
those towns have been awaiting arms and
ammunition in order to take the field
against President Castros forces.
The financial situation in Venezuela is
pronounced TO be hopeless The reply of
the Venezuelan government to the request

feat of the revolutionists. There were
several men killed and wounded, accord

LONDON, Jan. 2O.-The first important
debate of the session began in the House
Of Commons tonight on an amendment,
moved by Frederick CawIey. Liberal, to
the address in reply to the speech from
the throne. While the amendment consti-
tuted a recognized part of the opposition
programme it was not supported by
single front-bencher. The debate, however,
called out Mr.. Chamberlain the colonial
secretary, who spoke vigorously in defense
of the Boer war. He made the significant
statement that If Lord Roseberys speech
intimated the Beers believed they could
at any time secure a repetition Of Lord
Kitcheners terms, he wished to inform
them that they were mistaken. Mr.. Cham
berlain added, however, that the govern
ment programme was not one of extermi
nation. The Beers, he said, had already
been offered terms the liberality of which
surprised even England's most severe crit
les. Since they had been rejected, the gov
eminent did not propose to embarrass itself
with a further specific offer and certainly
would not withdraw the proclamation o
Aug. I, 1901. 1t would not propose any
general confiscation of property.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that the mag
unanimous treatment of the soldiers of the
Confederacy had been upheld as an exam
pie and it had been suggested that the
course of the United States in that matter
should be followed in South Africa.
II am willing to accept the parallel said
the colonial secretary. while the lives OF
the soldiers were spared, no political condi-
tions were given the Confederates, while
their property was confiscated on a ire
mendous scale. 1 see no reason whatever
TO believe that an unconditional surrender
would permanently ALLEVIATE a conquered
people. 1t did not in the case of the United
States, although 1t did not lead to imme-
date harmony. But, after a period, which
is mere trifie in the history of a nation,
ii led to complete reunion.
Mr.. Labouchere Libera) declined to sup
port the amendment of Mr.. Cawley be-
cause 1t pledged the Liberals to vote sup
plies FOR the war. He described Lord Rose
berry las the serpent in the Liberal Eden"
John Dillon Qrish Nationalist proposed
TO omit that clause of the amendment pro-
viding funds to carry on the war and add
a clause denouncing the policy of the con-
centratiOn camps. Mr.. Dillon's amendment
was rejected by a vote of 2S3 to 81, the ma
jority of the Liberals voting against it.

YOUTSEY AND A RIFLE
Figure in the Days Proceedings in
the Howard Trial

FRANKFORT. Ky, Jan. 20.-The sensa-
tional testimony promised by the defense
I'm the Howard case failed TO develop but
one of the witnesses, J. d. Hargove, stated
that he saw Youtsey bareheaded and I'm
his shirt sleeves, and that Youtsey seemed
TO be out of breath. He further stated that
Jim Howard was not on the steps of the
Statehouse al the time. j. b. Mathews
stated that he saw Henry Youtsey on the
steps of the executive building. George l..
Barnes. "a clerk in the auditors office, who
was in the auditors office when news came
that Goebel was shot. stated that he saw
Youtsey show some cartridges To a DIR.
Johnson, remarking: These go with the
gun"
Grant Roberts. now deputy collector in
this district. was next called, and said: II
missed my rife out of the vault the Tues
day before Goebel was shot, and the gun
was handed back TO me shortly after the
shooting OF Senator Goebel-about fifteen
minutes, / think. / questioned Youtsey
several days later, as il had again been
taken from the vault. and Youtsey said:
Wouldn't twenty or thirty dollars pay you
for the gun?
The attorneys for Howard tonight gave
out a signed statement in which they lay
all responsibility on correspondents for the
newspaper reports sent out last night pre-
dieting sensational developments in the
trial to-day, and also denying that the ru-
mOred disagreement between the lawyers
for the defense has any foundation in fact
The statement given out tonight says there
has been no disagreement between the at
whom they have refused TO put the
stand.

IN THE SUPREME COURT.
Motions i'm Three Important Cases
Filed by Counsel.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Solicitor Cen
eral Richards to-day filed motion in the
United States Supreme Court to have the
case of the United States VS.. Lee Yen Tai
advanced on the court record. The case is
important at this time as it involves the
treaty between the United States and
China, made in 1894 and also the validity
of the Chinese exclusion laws Lee Yen
Tai is a Chinaman residing in the North
ern district of New York, who was adj
mitted as a merchant. when it was claimed
that he was in reality a labOrer. His
deportation was ordered, but before this
order could be carried into effect he was
released by the United States district
Judge for the Southern district of New
York on a writ of habeas corpus. The plea
is set up that the treaty OF 1894 nullifed
the exclusion laws and that, therefore, the
courts have no power TO deport Chinese
person. The question OF the admissabiity
of Chinese to bail under deportation pro-
ceedings also is raised in the case. Mr.
tons are so important that an early hear
ing is considered desirable The motion
was taken under advisement.
Mr.. w. II. Van Steenburg entered q mo-
ton for leave to file a petition for writs
of mandamus directed to George r. Bid
well, collector of customs at the port of
soldiers, who were discharged from posi-
tons occupied By them in Mr.. Bidwell's
office. The cases are those of John w
O Brien, who United States weigher
William b. Shafer and James III. Coch-
mower, both of whom were inspectors
These men were discharged by Mr. Bid
we'll about a year ago after service ex-
tending over from eighteen TO twenty-five
years. They claim that the dismissal was
contrary to the civil service law, and asked
for an order compelling their reinstate-
ment. The motion taken under adj
visement.
Joseph II. Call, as the representative of
the United States, entered a motion to
open and correct the judgment of that
court in the Southern Pacific land case
decided by the court two weeks ago. He
asks that the Circuit Court be directed 20
enter a decree in favor of the government
for the lands outside the twenty-mie linn
its of the grant To the Southern Pacific
but within the thirty-mle limit and over
Tapped by the thirty-mie limits of the
grant to the Atlantic and Pacific company
by the act OF 1866. The court. he says. in
his motion, appears to have inadvertently
assumed that title to the lands within
the overlap of the Southern Pacific branch
line and the Atlantic and Pacific grant
were adjusted in former cases between the
United States and the Southern Pacific
company. but that this is not true. He
estimates the area thus affected at about
100000 acres.
