boat Moccasin, under the command Of
Lieutenant Pinney. started out from
the torpedo station looking for tho
Mckee.
Lieutenant Pinney ordered the Moe

Ten to thirty feet, occasionally coming
up far enough to allow of observations
through the altiscope for the purpose
OF watching the maneuvering of the

crew manning the guns and scuddins
through the rough sea at rapid gait
When within 200 yards of the Mckee
the dummy torpedo of the Moccasin
was fired. and it struck on the STAR

Alcohol In Medicine.

Our own opinion, which we have fire.
quently set forth, is that alcoholic bev-
erages are Of value in certain forms Of
disease and that their value depends
not so much upon the alcohol. but upon
the vinous others which these bever-
ages contain or should contain No
medical man doubts that intemperance
In alcohol is an appalling factor in the
spread Of crime, disease and poverty,
and 1t is undoubtedly the duty of the
medical profession to endeavor to stay
the curse of drink by every means in
Its power.-London Lancet.

Passenger officials of ten of the west

ment to commence on Nov. the use of
interchangeable mileage tickets In
place Of the present credential system,
says a Chicago special to the New

agreed to use the new tickets are con-
fident that others will do SO later.
The new ticket will cover 1000 miles
and will be sold for $50. II the original
purchaser uses it exclusively he will
be paid rebate of $3.50, thereby re-
ducing the cost of his transportation
to practically 2 cents mile. Train
conductors will honor the ticket regard

All of the Cloth For Them Is Made
From Cotton Fabric.
All Of the cloth used In the binding
OF books is made from cotton fabric,
yet one would not say so on seeing the
finished product Sopae Of it looks ex-
actly like coarse linen. Other styles
have an appearance of the finest kind
Of silk. while others have various sorts
Of finishes that look like lcatheret, can.
vas. watered silk Ge9 thousand diff
ferent designs.
When the cloth coIocs from the mills
II Is treated In various ways to pre-
pare It for the dyeing process, which is
the most important. Different kinds Of
DiIing ase used in the different grades,
and hftes this Is done it is ready for
eAe color machines.
These are really the same sort of ma
chimes that calico Is made on. They
are built of great steel rolls or cams
that are heated to high temperature
by means of live steam passing
through them constantly. The cloth
passes through boxes filled with the
sniline color that the cloth is expected
to be cOlOred with. This is mixed with
a starch paste and is spread evenly all
through the cloth.
The latter then continues through the
steam heated cams and is finally rolled
up at the back of the machine in a
heavy roll of the desired color. The diff
ferent finishes are given in a second
process. The cloth is passed through
very heavy and massive steel rolls
which have been engraved with the de-
stgn that is wanted. Fine lines run
ming diagonally across the cloth will
give silk effect, and there are many
other impressions that may be stamped
on In this way.-Springfield Union.

London Feb. THE announcement from
washington that the Venezuela protocols are In
course Of preparation. confirming the hopefui
,Ie,z-s of the situation expressed here, has Gre
sted great satisfaction. In the latter part or the
week official circles here evinced quiet conf
dence that in spite of alarming reports settle
ment in sight.
There have been private expressions OF intense
irritation at Minister Bowen's alleged breach OF
etiouette but these have never been allowed 10
interfere with the determination voiced by poth
the British and the German diplomats to secure
q termination of the difficulty through any feasl-
bic channel Ambassador Herberfs structures
found sympathetic support in Downing Streel'
and apparently formed the subject OF exchanges
of messages between Berlin, London and Rome,
whence the representatives Of those powers at
Washington were instructed to present a united
front and prevent the recurrence OF the pubhca-
ton of news of the nature complained Of
The refusal of President Roosevelt to arbitrate
the question as to whether the powers shall re-
ceive preferential treatment in the settlement Of
their claims against Venezuela is regretted
The strong disinclination of the British Foreign
OfTca TO have recourse to The Hague court of
arbitrat ton was chiefly founded on the fear that
between now and the rendering OF the courts
decision new complications may arise The de-
cision to refer the matter TO The Hague was
o,,l arrived at as last resort, when the negoti-
a+ions threatened TO drag on indefinitely. The
officials here are confident that The Hague court
will give the allies at least some measure OF
,7ifTerent treatment in the settlement of claims
from that accorded to the other nations which
did not take aggressive steps to secure their
Reyond some comparatively slight delibera-
lions over the wording Of the protocols no further
trouble is expected here, where the raising OF
the blockade will be regarded with almost as
much relief it will in Venezuela

CARACAS IN DANGER OF DARKNESS.
Plea that Vessel Laden with Coal May BE
Allowed to Land at La Guayra

Caracas, Feb. IA committee composed Oh
two Germans, two Frenchmen, one Enshsiiilah'
two Dutchnen and two Spaniards, representing
the foreign residents Of Caracas, called on W.
W. Russell. secretary of the American Legation
Yesterday. and informed him that next Tuesday
the city of Caracas would be without ilfurninat-
ing gas and that great fear is felt for the safety
of life and property under such conditions. In
view of the existing political situation the COM
mittee requested Mr.. Russell to use his good
offices, in the name of the foreign communities
of this city with the comman nding off1cers OF the
blOckading warships, TO secure permission for
the landing at La Guayra OF cargo OF coal
which is now on board ship at Curacoa- IL is
understood that Mr.. Russell has referred the
matter 10 Washington.
The revolutionary committee in Caracas is
much disheartened at the receipt OF news that
General Lucian Mendoza, who is reported to
have gone to Curacao, obliged to abandon
the revolutionary cause because his men lacked
ammunition. IT is considered by many persons
here that the revolution notwithstanding the
blockade is practically at an end.
