Gloomy Sunday.

Yesterday was another dreary Sunday
During most of the day the heavens were
threatening and more snow or ram was
anticipated; hence there were but few
people on the streets after church hours.
The attendance at the different places OF
worship showed "a falling off at both the
morning and night services. After dark
the heavens became clear, but the snow
on the pavements kept most people in

An Unfounded Rumor.

A report has been in circulation here
for several days to the effect that the
train dispatcher's Office of the Southern
Railway, removed to this city last June,
is to be taken back to Charlottesville.
Such, however, is notthe case. Another
Office is to be located in Charlottesville,
but this will in no wise affect the office
in Alexandria nor curtail the force now
employed here.

NEARING AN END?

Herbert w. Bowen has made a third
proposition to the allied powers acting
against Venezuela. He conferred sep
arately with Ambassadors Herbert and
Mayor DIES Planches, of Great Britain
and Italy, respectively, ard Count Quadt,
of the German Embassy. 1t is now init
mated that the imbroglio is soon to be
relieved.
The agreement among the allies in
cludes a provision that when the time
comes for raising the blockade there
shall be simultaneous action. This ex-
plains the refusal of the individual pow
ers, as such, to answer the first PROPOSE
ton, which was made a condition prece-
dent to negotiating for the payment of
the claims.
Members of the Venezuelan Cabinet
unite in declaring that the German gun
boat Panther began the attack on the
San Carlos fort. 1t is declared that there
is documentary evidence that the attack
was premeditated. An Investigation by
the United States Legation at Caracas
has failed so far TO establish who fired
the first shot.
A former Venezuelan Minister Of FL
nance says that the loan of $40, 900, 900
from the Disconto Gesellschaft, the Ger
man banking house, to Venezuela, was
only on paper and that the government
never received one cent on the debt
whose forcible collection is now sought.
He also charges that large brides were
given to Venezuelan officials in order to
fasten the debt on the nation.
A comparison Of the United States and
German navies shows that at present the
latter is superior in number of ships and
tonnage. Germany, however, is at a
disadvantage in lacking coaling stations
on the American coast.
