porting to have been made by our

Whereas. The said press published

Now, therefore, as citizens of Rich
mond. we desire to enter our protest
and disapproval of the utterances at
tributed to Hayes as having been made
at public meeting in the city of

GERMANY EXPLAINS.
Throws a New Light Upon CastrO's
Proposition.

Berlin, Jan. 31.-The apparent hitch
in the Venezuelan negotiations at
Washington is explained here in the
following manner:
Venezuela hypothetical to France
some time ago 10 per cent. of the GUS
tom receipts, which constitutes a prior
ity claim upon the Venezuelan customs.
The blockading Powers are quite will
ing to recognize it in this sense, but
President Castro wants it to be under
stood as constituting part of the 80 per
cent. offered to the blockading Powers.
AS the latter would then have only II
per cent. left, they regard it as made
quate, and hence are not willing to
permit the inclusion of Frances per-
centage.
1t is believed here that the blockade
will not be raised until President Cas-
tro yields on this poiuA.

Are Insistent.

Caracas, Jan. 31.--All the newspapers
Of Caracas have published articles to
the effect that the action of the allies
In imposing upon Venezuela special
preferential treatment in the settle
ment of their own claims is on a par
with all their previous acts since the
beginning of the present difficulty,
namely. unjust and unreasonable.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press approached the members of the
diplomatic corps here, asking for their
opinion on this phase of the matter.
Two declined to speak, but third was
willing to discuss the matter for publ
cation, provided his name was not
used. He said
The action of Great Britain. Ger
many and Italy in trying to impose IA
vored treatment for their claims. and
IN demanding an immediate cash pay
ment, arises from the fact that they
Know their claims are not we'll founded.

CAUSED A BIG ROW.
General Riot Marked Efforts to
Operate Mt Waterbury.

Waterbury, Conn.,, Jan. 31.-The
trolley strike condition in this city to-
night reached the proportions of gen.
eral riot. Every car sent out from the
barns was greeted with a volley of
stones at various points, and no car
escaped without broken windows.
Thousands of people filed the streets
and the police were powerless to con-
troll the mob and were at length fore
ed to request the Connecticut Railway
and Lighting Company officials to call
in their cars. The request was COM
piled with, and the last car pulled into
the barn at 11:15, escorted by the po-
lice. One motorlnan was injured so
severly by a stone that a car starter
had to take his place. Several other
motormen and conductors were badly
hurt
