GERMANY DID NOT INACCURATE
THE IDEA.
MADE THREATS TO PUBLISH
Exchange of Correspondence Between
Two Countries Unless England
Would Bear Responsibility for the
Alliance - Debts of Venezuela
Amount to Some $14,C00,0o0.

Washington, Jan. 29-From the
highest authority it was learned last
night from a publication by the Lon
don foreign office Of the fact that
Great Britain and not Germany sought
an alliance against Venezuela,
which was brought about by
representative from the Ger
man foreign Office. 1t is said
Germany had threatened to publish
the diplomatic exchanges between
Germany and the British foreign OF
fees unless Great Britain Immediately
should bear the responsibility TOR the
alliance. This threat was induced by
the anti-German feeling aroused in the
United States by the events in Vene-
zueIan waters. A partial confirmation
has been obtained here OF cable dis
patches that Bekgi&71. was to take a
prominent part in the administration
of the customs receipts. Bowen de-
clines to discuss the details OF his
plan, however, until the blockade is
raised.
Late yesterday afternoon he gave
out brief statement Of the diplomatic
debt of Venezuela and the methods for
it's future adjustment. This debt at
the end of 1901 was sOmthing over
$4,000, 900. To pay these, BOWen's
plan pledges Ii per cent. of the GUS
toms receipts of all Venezuelan ports.
For the payment of the unadjudicated
claims 80 per cent. Of the duties re-
ceiVed at Porto CabellO and Laguaira
are pledged.
Expect to Raise Blockade.
Caracas, Jan. 29.-Every one here
expects the blockade will be raised at
any moment. 1t is learned that the
German commodore, Scheder, on ar
irving at Whimsical with the Vineta
said: "The Panther did not fire first
ON Fort San Carlos January II. She
was obliged by a storm to take refuge
inside the bar and on coming near the
fortress she tried to land boat flying
a red flag. This signal was misinter-
preted by the fort which subsequently
fired ON the boat"
Conference With Bowen.
Washington, Jan. "a conference
lasting until after midnight was held
last night between Mr.. Bowen and
representative of the allies. No
agreement was reached for raising
of the blockade and it will be at least
"A hours before that will be done as
some details of payment stH remain
to be adjusted.
Like the Treaty.
Panama, Jan. z5.-The text of the
canal treaty published here gives
much satisfaction. The general opin-
ion is that the Colombian congress will

In the House,


The house devoted the day to bills
reported from the judiciary commit
tee, passing about twenty. Most OF
them were of a minor character, re-
lating to the times of holding court,
ETC., but two were of general import
ance. One was to meet the original
package decision of the supreme court
by making intoxicating liquors import
ed into states subject to the jurisdic-
ton of such states. The bill is de-
signed to prevent evasion under the
original package decision of liquor
laws in prohibition estates. The other
bill is the senate bill to increase the
salaries Of federal judges. It raises
the salaries of the chief justice of the
supreme court to $4,000; associate
justices to $12,5O0, circuit judges to
$1,000, district judges to $4,000, chief
justice court of claims to $4,000, asso-
ciate justices $4,000 and justices of
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia to $4,000.
Other bills were passed to create al-
ditional district judges in the south
ern district of New York and in the
district of Minnesota and to provide
an additional circuit judge in the
eigth judicial circuit court.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
Is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
of.
Headaches as a rule, result from dis
ordered condition OF the nervous system
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and dSordered digestion are exciting
oauses. When the brain becomes tired and
fsbilitated, the whole nervous system is week
sned, and headaches result. II the liver il
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
dsranged, headaches invariably follow. Ts
etus and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
tpebleness, and sleeplcssness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
AIRS. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
OF her release from suffering as follows:-
81 have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for number of years. About
every week l would have bad spell Of sick
headache, but since l began using Paine's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
I do not have any more headaches. l feel
botter than have for years"

THE DELAWARE LYNCHING.

Il uoiSduuS Vi persons visited
today the scene where George
F. White, the negro, was burn
ed to death last Monday night
by mob, for the murder of
Miss Foler Rishon They caro
from all the small towns in the
vicinity and hundreds journey
ed to the execution place from
Chester, Pa, and Philadelphia.
A trolley line runs to about
three. quarters of a mile from
the scene and drivers and other
owners Of vehicles did driv.
ing business carrying passeng
ers to the place and explaining
10 them the events OF the last
two weeks. The burning took
place in a freshly ploughed
field about fifty feet from the
roadway, which is hidden by
high bushes. The field has
been tramped almost as smooth
and hard as shell road by the
thousands of persons that have
visited the farm. The only evil
dence that remains Of the work
Of the mob are three cobble
stones on one Of which this in
scription has been placed in
indelible ink: "Here is all
that remains Of White"
The bushes behind which the
assault and murder occurred
have been cut down for dis
tance of several yards and car.
ried away by relic hunters.
Many Of those who visited the
scene today, among them II
large number Of women, carried
away sprig or branch Of the
bushes.
Discussion Of the events of
the last week is rapidly ending,
although the affair was the text
Of some of the clergymen today.
The preachers, without excep-
ton, condemned the lynching
notwithstanding the fact that
public sentiment is Overwhelm.

the Presbyterian minister, who
has come in for much criticism

night, in which he suggested

capped speedy punishment at the

to the lynching or the criticisms
today. These criticisms were
answered by his congregation

lutions were read during the
