The Hiqhlanders' Instinct.

It is curious to observe how deeply
rooted some national characteristics
are. Lord Lovat's speech at the ban.
ouet to the Lovat Scouts, which We
report elsewhere. disclosed the facG
that the Highlanders' talent for cattle
lifting, which had free play during
several centuries of border warfare
before Chatham invented Highland
regiments, is still strong in their de-
scendants. But now," said Lovat.
instead of going to the Lowlands for
their cattle, they went to South Africa
for them, and he had heard that a
gentleman in South Africa had said
the Highlanders were the best cattle
thieves he had ever met" This seems
to be the point which has most stirred
the imagination Of Lord Lovat in the
admirable services" as the king well
called them in his telegram to the
gathering of the Highland regiments

POSTMASTER nULLEN IS OUT.
Mr.. Smith Appointed to Succeed to
the Office,

Charlotte, N. c., Special.-Mr. W. N.
Mullen was last week removed from
the Office OF postmaster Of this city on
the third charge. 1t will be remem-
bered that the first charge against him
was for intoxication. This was set
tied in way satisfactory to the de-
partment. and Mullen was retained.
The second charge was that a shortage
of several hundred dollars appeared in
his books. This was some weeks ago,
but Mullen showed that the shotage
was fully covered, and again was re-
tanned. Last week. however, the
charge was urged that ne had failed to
weigh second-class matter, and that as
result the government had lost a
large sum of postage Mr.. Mullen was
then relieved and the question OF a
successor came up. Mr.. Geo. B. Hiss
was rendered the position, but declin-
ed. Mr.. R. W. Smith, was then ap-
pointed. Several kilograms were sent
to the department and to Senator
Pritchard urging the withdrawal OF
Mr.. Smiths name, but this action was
not taken, and it Is likely that his ap-
pointment will be confirmed.

WINDING UP OF CASE.
Mr.. Bowen Taking The Last Steps
In Venezuelan Controversy.

Washington, Special.-Minister Bow
en- expects to begin Immediately the
preparations of the protocols with the
representatives of the unallied pow
ers for the settlement OF the claims Of
the citizens of these nations who have
suffered as result OF the trouble in
Venezuela. There are eight Of these
claimant nations. The drawing up Of
the protocol with this government will
be the first undertaken. Solicitor Pen
field. of the State Department, will
represent the United States in these
negotiations with Mr.. Bowen. Work
on this protocol, it is expected, will
begin tomorrow and Mr.. Bowen's be-
lief is that matters will move forward
with greater rapidity than they did
with the representatives Of the allied
governments who were enforcing the
blockade against Venezuela. The ne
EQUATIONS with France will follow
those with the United States, and so
on until the protocols with all the un
allied creditor nations are completed.
The statement has been made that the
allied powers were opposed to prefer
entail treatment to Great Britain, Ger
many AMI Italy. and that in all proba-
bility Venezuela, the United States
and France will be lined up as repre-
senting the eight unallied nations at
The Hague, as opposed to the three
allies.
Mr.. Bowen continues to receive con-
gratulatory dispatches from Venezuela
on the outcome of his work here. One
Of those which he prizes most highly
is from the citizens of La Guiara,
through the prefect which read as fol-
lows:
La Guiara-The citizens Of La
Gaiara through me felicitate you as
the great and good friend OF Vene-
zuela."
Various efforts have been made by
representatives Of big financial houses
in this country to sound Mr.. Bowen as
to his views on the question Of finan-
cling the debts Of Venezuela, which will
arise out of the expected adjudication
of the claims by the several mixed
commissions. Mr.. Bowen, however,
has informed all those who have spo-
ken to him on the subject that his
mission here is entirely diplomatic
one, and that he could not consider
the financial features Of the matter.

been directed against Georgetown.
The fight on this bill began Friday
and the debate was adjourned. When
the matter was taken up yesterday al
ter the calendar had been cleared OF
uncontested matters, the motion to
continue the bin was lost by vote OF
"a to 80. This vote showed two things
that there was but a small attendance.
63 being a quorum. and that the op-
moments of the bill were in the minori-
ty.
Mr.. Bass Of Williamsburg, then made
a clear, direct statement in regard to
the attitude of Georgetown. He de-
scribed the geographical location OF
that city and declared that the Wlnyah
bay fishermen fix their nets in such
way that the fish cannot come up into
the fresh water streams to spawn. Ine
shad industry is monopolized In
GEORGETOWN to the injury OF the people
of the interior who cannot catch the
fish and must pay good price for the
fish as there are such heavy shipments
to the north.
Mr.. Pyatt and Mr.. Doar Of George
town, derided the idea Of the fishermen
stopping the mouth of bay two miles
wide. They argued that this was a
drastic measure which would deprive
many poor people of an honest living
and would not help the interior Of the
State.
The minority then began some skill
full filibustering, endeavoring to keep
the house from coming to . vote. The
bill had been taken up at o'clock, and
at 2 o'clock, the regular hour for ad-
