THE HOUSE.

washington, Dec 10.-The feature of the House proceedings today was a thoughtful speech by the venerable Ga- lusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania, on the relations between labor and capital. At the end of the present session. he retires at the age of 79, after 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. His conclu- sion was that some sort of cooperation between capital and labor was the solu- ton of the impending problem.

ATTEMPT TO
 BRIBE MEN Charge Against Mining
 Company. No NAME IS MENTIONED $2,500 and Good Job Offered Local Presidents. The Delaware and Hudson Does Not Want Responsibility. for Condi- tions at Coxe and Mar
 kle Mines.

Scranton. Pa.. Dec. 1o-Testimony was introduced at today's session of the coal strike commission to the effect Hhat an attempt had been made by former mins foreman to bribe two presidents of local unions of the miners to have ten men in resolution passed sending the men to work, thus making a serious break in the ranks of the strikers.
 Each of the Presidents was to receive $2,50o and>a good position as mine fore man. and each of the ten men was to get from $l0O to s20O. No company was mem toned in connection with the bribery scheme and none of the lawyers cross examined the witness.
 During the afternoon session David Wilcox, Vice President of the Delaware and Hudson. and general counsel for the company, addressed the commission and protested vigorously against the commis- sion holding his company responsible for conditions that may exist at the Coxe or Markle mines.
 Stopped by Chairman.
 He was quickly stopped by Chairman Gray, who said that the commission did not intend to hold any company respon- sible for whateversspeciaI conditions may exist in any particular part of tie ooal fields. While none of the attorneys for the other coal carrying roads said any. thing to the commission, they said pri- vately that Mir. Willcox's attitude had their endorsement.
 A large amount of technical testimony was heard on various phases of the ques- tions at issue. Two check weighman pro- duced figures which tended to show that at two Delaware and Hudson collieriss the miners produced 166, ,1Ss tons of coal more than they were paid for. The min CTS must bring up Sl36 pounds of coal and dirt to make a ton of g. 2A9 hounds of pure coal, and the union claims that the company gets more than 2,24O pounds of coal out of each ''minefs ton" of s,1Ss pounds and produced official figures to prove 1t.
 The Delaware and Hudson Company presented it's figures to the commission today. They show the average earnings of the miner in 1901 to have been $62z6S and those of his laborers, $449. .47. When MT. Mitchell was on the stand he said that $500 should be the minimum of Amer ican living wages.

CALLS FOR
 GARRISON Roosevelt Sends for Pie Dispenser. PRESIDENT IS uyy4pp1
 --s Southern Politics 2 uses Him sleepless f.ghts.
 -S- The Invitation senator's and Repre- sentatives to Stay Away from the White House is
 Accepted.

Washington, Dec. 1O.-(Special )-Gen- eral Clarkson of Iowa. now President Roosevelt's Surveyor of the port of New York. ani reputed manager under Mir Payne of Southern politics for the admin istration. had protracted interview with the President today. having come to Washington for that specific purpose.
 While the President relies upon the Postmaster General as the pre-eminent and final source of political advice as hearing on patronage. it is known that Clarkson Is constantly consulted on Southern affairs and no man is SO well qualified as he to tell facts about South ern Republicans. This Is not to say he will tell even his master facts, but he knows them, for he was Mir. Hanna s chief agent in the search for Southern delegates in 1s96 and some of his South ern doings were not the happiest to con- template.
 The Clarkson Conference.
 Clarkson was summoned hither today: doubtless he was consulted as to South ern patronage. and doubtless there will he something doing in that direction within the next few days. .
 What 1t will be Is purely conjectural, therefore not news.
 Stu. Clarkson's presence at the White House. has given rise to fresh rumors and revived old ones
 Alabama is no longer the storm centre. Things there are quiescent if not still.
 But over all the rumors is the trial of the lily whites. This has come to be the ghost that haunts the Presidential bed chamber and it lends blue fire to every proposition for a Southern appointment. The President is unhappy.
 The remarkable and apparently author ized statement of The Star newspaper teleSraphed The Advertiser last night concerning the alleged "meddliag" of Southern Democratic Comgressmen. be- cause they asked that white men. not named in person or by hint, be appointed to Federal offices in the South, must now be accepted as official, as representing the Presidents views. It appeared in the local White House organ, and no hint of denial or explanation is forthcoming thirty hours after the publication.
 So 1t is true.
 So amongst the throng of visitors to the White House today there was not one Southern Senator or Representative.

CRY "DEATH TO GERMANS.
Venezuelan Mob Anxious for Blood
 of Foreigners.

Willamstad, Dec. 10.-There was great patriotic demonstration in Caracas al ! o'clock last night when the news arrived that the British and German warships had seized the Venezuelan war vessels at La Guiara.
 Crowds quickly gathered and paraded the streets and squares of the capital, dis- playing banners and singing patrlouo songs. Violent speeches were delivered at various points. The populace marched to the palace of President Castro who ad- dressed 1t. The mob then moved on to the German Legation shouting Death to the Germans" The windows were shattered with stones and attempts were made to force the doors, but the latter resisted these efforts and Mime. von Pilgrim Bal tazzi, the wife of the German Charge d'Affaires who has been Ill in bed for the past two months and therefore could not leave Caracas with her husband, was thus saved from violence.
 The crowd then marched to the German Consulate and to the residence of Dr. Koehler, again stoning tho windows and attempting to force an entrance. The po- lice made no effort to disperse the dem onstrators.
 The excitement was still intense when at 10 o'clock at night the government or
  English residents One hour later 205 per- sons prominent in social and commercial life, were crowded together in the police station All the British residents were arrested except Albert Cherry, of the Ven ezuelan- British Central Railroad. and MT. Wallace, manager of the telephone com pany. who escaped to place Of safety. Nnety-seven German residents were ar rested, among them the German Consul, Valentine Blohm and Herr Knopp, the manager of the German Central Railway. Herr Somross. Chancellor of the German Legation. was met by the police near Bolivar Square and also arrested.
 Amid cries of Death to the Germans and Down with the foreigners" the populace directed its way to the German residential quarter and gathered outside the Hotel Klndt and the German Club uttering insults. The Belgian Charge dAffaires, F. J. S. Goffart. was arrested by mistake for a German because of his fair complexion. In spite of his vigorous protest he was taken to the police sta ton, but was released ten minutes later.
 On learning these incidents United States Minister Bowen and Secretary w. w. Russell went at once to see President Castro and after a long conference suc- ceeded in obtaining the release of Dr.. Koehler, Mime. von Pilgrim m-Baltazzi's s physician, and Consul Valentine Blohm. Mir Bowen also obtained the official au- thorization of the Venezuelan government to represent British and German inter ests during the imbroglio.
 The government has placed an embargo to the British Railway to La Guaira and on the German Central from Caracas to Valencia.
 The populace Is still intensely excited and the situation is regarded as critical, The British and German flags have been publicly burned
