THE CAMPBELL CASE.

The Campbell investigation in Rich
mond yesterday offered no new
sensation to the large crowd which
filled the hall. The attack upon the
character of Bowen, who gave the SEN
sational testimony in regard to con-
spiracy among the jury was the strong
est feature. K. E. Stinnitt declared he
would not believe him on oath, and I.
T. Stinnitt also discredited Bowen as a
reliable witness, and declared he was
preiudiced against Judge Campbell, one
count against Bowen being that he was
always getting into personal encounters.
w. ii. Campbell and r. P. Turner made
good defense for Campbell in the mat
ter of the use of whisky, both declaring
that Judge Campbell did not keep
whisky bin his Office or use it in cleo
tons. Mr.. Turner had to stand hot
fire from the cross-exaniners as to GER
tain irregularities in an election in which
he was a Judge. Chairman Southall
ruled against this line of questioning,
Nichols Prior, foreman Of the jury which
tried Campbell, declared Bowen to be a
malicious liar.

gainst Venezuela is apparent.

AS HERETOFORE stated, since the
manufactures in the South have become
formidable rivals of those in the North,
there has been a great outcry III the
North against the system under which
children are compelled 10 do factory
work in the South. From the state
ments of such men as the superlntend-
ent of schools in New York, the presi-
dent of the Long Island Railroad, DIR.
Felix Adler, and the head of the uni
versity settlement and others, the abuse
is much greater in the northern States.
This should induce the northern carpers
to remove first the beam from their own
eye before they talk about the mote IN
the eve of their southern brothers.

VANDERBILTs STOP TRAINs.-The
Southern Railways Palm limited train,
from New York to st. Augustine, ar
rived at Savannah more than an hour late
Tuesday, and thereby hangs an inter-
esting tale of the potency of name.
The Palm limited is scheduled to make
the run from Columbia to Savannah
with only two stops, neither of which
is at Pineland, country club 60 miles
out of Savannah, which has been estab-
Ished by number of wealthy northern
men. Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bilt have been stopping at the Pineland
Club for number of days. Mrs. Van
derbilt concluded that she would run over
to see her brother, Richard I. Wilson,
jr., at May river. With her husband
she went to the station at Pineland to
take the Southern flyer IS the limited
express came into view Mrs. Vanderbilt
waved her parasol and Mr.. Vanderbilt
waved his hand. But the engine driver
of the flyer merely smiled out Of his cab
window and the train went by at'the
speed of something nearly approaching
mile minute. The next station was
Vaudeville, 25 miles away. As the
engine driver drew in sight of that sta
ton he saw standing in the middle of
the track fagman franticaIy waving
red bunting. Bringing his train to a
stop the engine driver was handed i'm
perative orders to back his train to Pine
land to take on the Vanderbilt party.
Reluctantly the engine driver obeyed
orders. Trains ahead of him were tied
up while this so miles was cut out of his
schedule. The story is that Mrs. Van
derbilt demanded of her husband that
the train come back for her and that he
found the means of having her wishes
respected.

THE ACTION of Germany in ignoring
her previous agreement made with Mr.
Bowen by Count A. Won Quadt-
Wykradt-Isny, her charge daffaires'
and insisting on cash payment OF
1910, 900 or "a lien on the customs
receipts of one of the Venezuelan ports
until this amount is paid, is strange, to
say the least, AID will be regretted by
all who had hoped the perplexing
Venezuelan trouble was nearing settle
ment. Mr.. Bowen Immediately in
formed the German Minister that he re-
fused to yield the receipts of any port
prior to The Hague's decision, saying
that would be preferential treatment.
As to the cash payment Of $40, 600 de-
manded, Mr.. Bowen left that matter to
the German Minister to determine.
The refusal of Mr.. Bowen to accede to
this demand and his observation that III
Germany can afford to make a public
confession that it does not stand by
agreements signed by its duly accredited
diplomates, he (Mr. Bowen) is willing
that they shall receive on the day the
protocol is signed the total amount
asked in the original ultimatum," has
caused some sensation. That the Ger
man government is now manifesting
unreasonable obduracy in the preliml-
naries looking to the settlement of claims
against Venezuela is apparent.

VENEZUELAN AFFAIRS.

Germany has ignored her previous
agreement made with Mr.. Bowen by
Count A. Won. Quadt-Wykrat Isny, her
charge d'ahaires, and his insisted on a
cash payment of $40, 900 or lien on
the customs receipts of one of the Vene-
zuelan ports until this amount is paid.
This information was communicated to
Mr.. Bowen last night by Baron Speck
Won Sternberg, the German Minister.
Mr.. Bowen Immediately informed the
German Minister that he refused to yield
the receipts of any port prior to the
Hague's decision, saying that would be
preferential treatment. As to the cash
payment of $40, 900 demanded, Mr..
Bowen left that matter to the German
NJ mister 10 determine, saying to him
that il Germany can afford to make a
public confession that it does not stand
by agreements signed by its duly ac-
credited diplomatists, he (Mr. Bowen) is
willing that they shall receive on the
day the protocol is signed the total
amount asked in the original ultimatum.
The response has been cabled to the
German foreign Office. Developments
last night lead to the belief in Washing
ton that the Venezuelan protocols will
be signed today and that orders will be
cabed at once to lift the blockade.

AFFAIRS IN HONDURAS. --News has
been received in Mobile that the Hon
duras government, acting on the initia-
tive of President Sierra, who steadfastly
refuses 70 relinquish the Presidential seat
of that country to Senior Bonilla, be-
cause the incumbent says fraud was prac-
ticed in the election of Bcnilla, forbids
people whether American or native, walk
ing the streets of Puerto Cortez together.
The police and soldiers politely request
pedestrians to disperse if two or more
parties move other than in single file.
This extraordinary stand has been taken
as preoautiOn against any movement
which might be attempted to incite
revolutionary attack. Martial law has
also been declared in other places in
Honduras remaining under Sierra's con-
troll. in the far western side of the repub-
lie. President Bonilla is preparing to
begin war against Sierra. The alleged
President is modifying his troops at
AmapaIa, port on the Pacific side OF
Honduras, and intends marching for the
initial attack as soon as the necessary ar
rangements are complete. He is said TO
have massed powerful army, which has
been fully equipped under Senior Bonilia's
personal supervision, and is sufficiently
large TO wage one of the tercest wars
ever begun in Central America.
