GROWING MORE UNPOPULAR.
English Press Continues to Condemn
Angio-German Alliance.

New York, Jan. 16.-ThereN are signs
of increasing impotence in England
over the delay in raising the blockade
of Venezuela, according to dispatch
to the Tribune from London. The
moral drawn by the provincial press
from the Independent attitude of Italy
in condemning the blockade and adj
vocating Castro's cause is that Eng
land night have taken the same atti-
tude if there had not been hard and
fast alliance with Germany.
Meanwhile dispatches are exchanged
between Berlin and London, and it
seems impracticable to obtain an adj
justment of the phrases of a simple
protocol providing for the adjudication
of the claims. A settlement would
have been reached between Washing
ton and London without delay if there
had been no obligations to refer every
detail to Berlin The Balfour govern
ment is not likely to make another
agreement with Germany before the
general elections in the United King
DOM

TO OPEN MINNESOTA LANDS.
Large Tract in Beltrami County May
Be Settled.

Washington, Jan. 16-Secretary
Hitchcock of the interior department is
considering the question of opening to
settlement large tract of land near
Boudette, Beltrami county, Mimi, for
merly within the Red Lake reserva-
ton
At the request of Representative
Elect STEVENSON Judge Morris of Du-
luth called on Secretary Hitchcock and
called his attention to the availability
of the land for settlement The tract
has been examined and found to be
agricultural and so classified under
the law providing for the disposal of
the Chippewa reservations in Mime
sofa. Secretary Hitchcock said he saw
no reason why the land should not be
opened, but before acting said he
would take up the matter with the
land officials.

Says Masonic orertier, the French
writer, in one of his recent articles III
La Presse: There is no country IN
which the working classes are as
peaceful as in Sweden and Norway.
They are as a class sensible, well-dis-
ciplined and united. AS a result OF
this there are but comparatively few
strikes. AS people they have, al

In consequence of the cold and wet
summer the grain proved a failure in
many parts of the country. Thus, in
the county of Smaalene, in eastern
Norway, the corn lies hidden under the
snow and will probably be unfit for
any purpose; and on farms in higher
situations the corn did not ripen at all 81
for which reason the peasants have
cut and stored it with the hay to be
used as fodder for the cattle during
the winter and spring.
The very best of feeling is now said
to exist between Bjornson and Ibsen
Owing to ill-health it was impossible
for Ibsen to personally pay his re
spects to Bjornson on the latter's
birthday, but the message he sent was
a hearty and sincere one and Nor
ways two literary giants are now saio
to be intimate friends. For years the
feelings between the two have been

House Considering Department or

Washington, Jan. 16.-Without pre-

ment the bill was passed.
Mr.. Dalzell (Pa.), from the commit

DUE TO MINERS NEGLIGENCE.
Testimony Showing Alleged Cause Of
CoIliery Disasters.

Philadelphia, jan 16-Chairman
Gray of the anthracite coal strike COM
Mission, who was absent from the
arings of the commission fer about
a week on account of illness, was pres
ent at the days sessions. Before call
ing witnesses counsel for the Erie COM
pany, which controls the Hillside Coal
and Iron company and the Pennsylva-
MIA Coal company, introduced as evil
dence certain extracts from reports
of state mine inspectors tending to
show that most mine accidents are due
to the negligence of the workmen
themselves.
Victor L: Petersen of Scranton, SUI
perinterdent of the Hillside company
and formerly president of the Forest
City bank, presented statement show
ing the deposits in that bank. The
miners objected to it's submission be-
cause it did not specifically show how
many of the depositors were mine
workers. The commission sustained
the objection and the witness prom
ised to present statement which
would overcome the objection.
The witness then told of the lawless-
ness in the vicinity of Forest City dur
ing the late strike.
Mr.. Petersen, on cross-examination,
said that foremen and other bosses
sometimes make mistakes and cited
instances of INSTRUMENTATION by the
miners. Some of these instances, he
said, were due to the influence of the
union. The witness thought the union
ought to change some of it's ways.
On the question of the union restrict
ing the number of cars each miner
should load the witness admitted that
he did not think the total output of the
mines was restricted.

YARDS at Elizabethport, N. j., Block
AIDED With Coal Cars.
New York, jan Is. The statement
that thousands of tons of anthracite
coal We're awaiting delivery to retail
dealers at the docks of the New Jer-
sey Central railroad at Elizabeth port,
n. j., has been verified in detail by a
photograph of the yards practically
blockaded by loaded cars. There were
nearly 400 cars in the yards and more
than 100 additional on main tracks
leading into the yards waiting to be
taken in by drill engines. Averaging
the 500 cars capacity at 10000 pounds
each would make the total coal in
Elizabethport at the hour of the count
$4,000 tons.
At other points also there is con-
gesticn of coal-laden cars which the
officers of some of the coal-carrying
roads say is mainly due to the confu-
sion caused by the separating of cars
containing Independent coal from
those bearing the company coal

CARDINAL PARoccHl DEAD.

Away at Rome.

POSSIBLE successor OF rope Leo PaSSeS
Away at Rome.
Rome, Jan. 16.- Cardinal Parocchi,
sub-dean of. the Sacred college and
vice chancellor of the Roman Catholic
church is dead of heart disease. He
was born in 1888, was of Italian ma.
tionality and was created a cardinal in
1877.
The death of Cardinal Parocchi re-
moves one of the prelates considered
to be the most likely to succeed Pope
Leo, There was considerable friction
between the pope and Cardinal Paroc-
chi on this account and it led to the
unprecedented step Of the pontiff in
removing the cardinal from the post
of vicar of Rome because it was
thought that he too openly posed as
the future pope. Nevertheless, the
pope was deeply affected by Cardinal
Parocchi's death.

Oppose Report.
Washington, Jan. 16.-The senate
ec; mittee On foreign relations has
az. eed to report the Cuban reciprocity
treaty to the senate with two amend.
Leats. The first of these is the guar
antne against a further reduction OF
the sugar tariff and the other makes a
rejection of 40 per cent in the reduc-
ton of the duty on American cattle ex-
ported to Cuba instead Of 20 per cent
KS provided in the treaty as it was
.D;iginally transmitted to the senate.
Eenators Bacon and Bailey cast their
votes against the resolution for a
favorable report, but all the other
votes were in the Affirmative.
Several other amendments were sug-
gested by Senator Bacon, but all OF
them were voted down. Among the
suggestions which met this adverse
fate was the provision requiring that
Tie treaty should be submitted to the
ouse as we'll as the senate for rat
AZ alton. The same fate befell the
szl :Gdment eliminating article 6 of the
treaty providing that no rebate or con-
cess on should be given on American
toSacco imported into Cuba. A num-
Der OF articles in addition to cattle
were suggested as properly belonging
TO schedule C, which grants tariff re-
duction of 80 per cent on American
articles going into Cuba. One of these
was turpert*-,e, but this went down
with the others.
The amendment transferring cattle
to the 40 per cent list was accepted
because of some recent changes in the
Cuban tariff which led the committee
TO the conclusion that the change
would be equitable.
