McvEAoH SCORES ENGLAND.
Says Complaints Against Venezuela
 Were Mere pretexts.

were 1STo ETSLeXt6.
 The Hague. Oct. 5.-wayne Mcveagh, senior counsel for the United States, con tinuing his argument today before the Venezuelan arbitration tribunal. declared the question before the tribunal was one of ethics. namely, whether or not the war against Venezuela was just and neces- sary. He maintained that the complaints of Great Britain were merely pretext for war and that Venezuela had far greater rights on her side when she com plained of the dispatch of a British ves- sel from London to the Caribbean sea to deliver the cargo of arms to the insur- gent chief. General Matos. through the intermediary of agents at Trinidad Coun- sel said he found no precedent in history for sure a purely financial war as he de- clared was undertaken by Great Britain and Germany for protection of railroad companies' bondholdes and in support of the claims of the Disconto Gesellschaft.
 MT. MacVeagh recalled that Great Britain accepted arbitration in the Ala bama case during the American Civil War, which was analogous to the present case when a British vessel assisted the Venezuelan insurgents and the Venezue- Ian Government entered protest. Instead of arranging this matter. Great Britain and her allies sent a twenty-four page ultimatum to Venezuela. demanding the mediate payment of $Ss0. 900
 Counsel claimed that the blockading powers were not entitled to preferential treatment. because they raised the block ade without imposing other conditions and accepted the Venezuelan proposition that all other claims should be paid on equal terms. To recognize her claim for preference now. Mir. MacVegah said, would be to encourage extortiOn. Mir. McVeagh concluded his argument and the tribunal adjourned to November {. when all the counsel will present their pleadings only one representative of each nation being allowed to speak in reply. The pleadings will be made in the order of the English alphabet.

 Getting Wagn.

 Nearly one hundred men. employees of the Lake Superior Power Company, met at the plant here this afternoon and ask ed to know why they were not receiving their pay. the same as employees of the company on the other side of the river. They were informed by Mir. Davis, in charge of the canal and power house. that the company had no money with which to pay the men.
 ''The property Is in the hands of a re- ceIver." he said. "and am in no post- ton to state whether or not the men will be paid"

Jones On The Race Question.

James K. Jones, chairman Of the
Democratic national committee,
recently gave out an interview OIL
the relation of the race question
to politics, in which he said:
81 think that Senator German
and his associates who are in
terested in Democratic success in
the Maryland campaign made no
mistake in giving prominence to
| the race question as distinguished
by attitudes between the two
parties. Mr.. German is perfectly
right that the race question is one
OF the most important questions
before the people Of this country
at this time. 1t is vital question
and must sooner or later be set
tied for all time.
"The Democratic party in the
South, according to reports which
! [ have received from Democratic
friends and advisers there, GER
tainly have better hand Of the
situation up to this time. | think
the country at large is anxious
for verdict On this proposition,
and The sooner it is submitted to
the whole vote the better for the
Democrats of Maryland to win
next week,
"Their success will of course,
give an impetus to the matter all
over the nation, and the general
decision will not be long in com
| inc forth. The fact that the
question has been pushed for
ward in the Maryland campaign
means, of course, that the issue
will figure to a considerable ex-
tent in the national campaign
next year. 1t will certainly be
given prominence then, when the
Republican and Democratic can
didates are brought before the
people for a selection.
Il believe that the sentiment
of the country is opposed to ne
gro domination, and that no rea-
sonable minded person believes
in equality between or the ANAL
gamation of the races. The white
man was born to rule, and it shall
ever be thus. There can be no
other outcome.

Mrs. Halliday was AZ years old

tacks, but the cause was unknown
until today. 1t is evident she had

that it gradually moved toward
