Thursday the suffering from intense
cold will cease. There is much suffer-
ing among the destitute. notably in this
city and at various other points, not
withstanding the best efforts OF the
charitable organizations. although the
scarcity of coal is less general than
in the previous cold spell. Railroad
traffic is still badly handicapped and
trains on nearly all roads are hours
late, and street car lines and suburban
systems are operated with more or less
irregularity.
At Chicago three deaths are report
ed due directly or indirectly from the
effects of the cold. The severe snow
storm of yesterday thruout the east
ern states has ceased and is followed
by zero weather AT eight this morn

CAsTRo's FINE GAME
Venezuela President Turns a Neat
Trick on the Creditor Nations
Increase of Customs Tariffs by Which
Creditors Pay Their Own Claims.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The following
cablegram was received at the state
department today from Russell, in
charge of the United States legation
at Caracas during the absence of Bow
en-: "The minister of foreign affairs
for Venezuela has decreed 80 per cent
Increase in duties on all imports, as a
war measure" Just why the decree
is issued by the minister of foreign
affairs, instead of President Castro, as
in the ordinary course, puzzles the
officials here.
The, action, however, is regarded as
a keen stroke of political finesse for
practically it amounts to the placing
of the indemnity which Venezuela is
to pay the powers wholly upon the
shoulders of foreign merchants, who
conduct all Venezuela's import trade.
