CASTRO READY TO FIGHT.
SAYS Two Hundred Thousand Men
Await the Summons.

CARACAS, Jan. H.-President Castro
said to The Call correspondent to-day:
please tell the world that we Venezue-
lans are ready to arbitrate all questions
in dispute, or we are willing to fight. If
the attitude of the Government at Wash
ington had not compelled the European
governments to desist from their your
money or your life policy there would
have been war, and. of course, there may
be war yet, there being proverbially many
a slip between the cup and the lip. But
we are stronger now than ever before
Since December 9 10000 loyal sons of the
country have volunteered for the national
defense, and, believe me, every Venezue-
Ian is a born soldier. The vastness and
wildness of our country, abounding In
game. all tend to make our sons marks
men,"
but what about the blockade and the
lack of ammunition?" ] inquired.

GUNNERS PRAY
BETWEEN SHOTS
How the Soldiers of
MoroccO's Sultan
Wage War.
Regard Cannon as Satanic
Inventions Not to Be
Trif1ed With.

TANGIER, Morocco. Jan. M.-No cou-
rier reached here from Fez to-day. The
roads between this port and the capital
are flooded.
An English drill sergeant in the serv-
ice of the Sultan has given interesting
details Of the composition of the Sultan's
army He says the imperial forces total
about 25,OO0 men. including a Shereefian
bodyguard of 1000 picked men, all Of
whom are armed with Martini-Henry
rifles. OF the remainder 80 per cent are
armed with imitation Martini-H -Hcnrys,
manufactured in Fee. and the remainder
of the Sultans soldiers carry old flint
locks and muzzle leaders.
The artillery consists of twenty breech-
loading Krupps twenty-three brass muz-
zle-loaders, twelve MaXims firing Mar
tini-Henry cartridges and twenty-one
other machine guns-the latter, how
ever, decidedly unreliable.
According to the sergeant, 1t is almost
impossible to train the natives to handle
artillery, as they believe cannon to be the
invention of the devil. The gunners
spend much time in prayer between the
firing of round, while many Of the ma
tives refuse altogether to serve the guns.
The drill sergeant, who served through
all the trouble with the army, does not
consider the Sultan's situation to be des-
perate. He says that if the Sultan can
bring together his entire army before
advancing the followers of the pretender
are certain to desert and surrender in
the face of overwhelming force. On
the other hand. the soldiers of the pre-
tender evidently have been drilled in the
European system of warfare. and are de-
cidedly superior to the Sultan's troops.
Any sudden. decided success by the pre-
tender, the drill sergeant says. would be
equally likely to precipitate wholesale de-
sertions from the Sultan's ranks.
MADRID, Jan. 2.-It is rumored here
that the Sultan of Morocco. while main
tanning his military operations, is seek
ing to end the insurrection by negotia-
tions in which money is to be the chief
factor Rumors are current here that
the rebellion has spread to the City of
Morocco.

SCIENCE FAILS
TO SAVE LIFE
Woman Dies in Spite of
Use Of Formalin
Solution.
Hahnemann Hospital Pa
tient Is Still Showing
Improvement.

NEW YORK, Jan. H.-Mrs. Caroline
Thompson, who received the formalin
treatment at ST. Vincents Hospital, died
there this morning of septicaemia. She
had received two injections of the forna-
lin solution, one on FRIDAY of last week
and one on Sunday.
DR.. w. H. Quinn, house physician at ST.
Vincents. said tonight that her condition
was hopeless when she received the first
treatment. but having heard of its use in
septicaemia the doctors determined to try
the formalin on her so as to give her
every benefit that science could suggest
1t was not true he said, that she died of
pneumonia Septicaemia had been proved
beyond a doubt by the examination of
blood cultures from the head. She was
admitted to the hospital on December II.
suffering from bronchio-pneumonia but in
about three weeks septieaemia developed.
A small bruise had appeared on the left
knee, but after treatment this had passed
away. Infection might have been from
it. but this could not be said positively.
She was a very septic patient and did not
respond to the formalfn treatment She
was native of Germany and 43 years old.
At the Hahnemann Hospital tonight it
was stated that the patient there was do
ing nicely Great interest has been ex-
cited by the statement of DR.. Charles c..
Barrows that he thought of formalin
treatment for septicaemia because it had
been found efflcacious In the treatment of
tuberculosis. DR.. J. Edward Stubbert
professor of lung diseases at the Post
graduate Medical College and Hospital,
said to-day:
From time TO time various forms of intra-
venous injections have been used in pulmonary
tions referred 10 by Dr. Williams of Baltimore
in his discussion of Dr. Burrows paper but In
every instance the results have been unsatis-
factory. Koch's tuberculin raised great. hopes
which failed OF material results.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21.-As a last resort in
any effort to save the life of Mrs. Alice
Garrett, DR.. Walter b. Dorsett last night
commenced the use of formalin for blood
poison. marked improvement in the
condition of Mrs. Garrett, who was al
deaths door, has resulted.

PEACE MAY BE DELAYED.
British Comment on New Develop.
ments in Venezuela.

oAASASAA OOAAA1Shb OAA 1NSW 0cVS1Op-
ments in Venezuela.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-The news of the
second bombardment Of Fort San Carlos
reached London too late to be printed In
the papers of this morning, nearly all Of
which comment upon the "olive branch"
which the German Chancellor, Count Won
Bulow, held out to Great Britain in his
speech in the Reichstag and upon the
difficulties in which the Chancellor. by
being obliged to defend his imperial
masters acts without being responsible
for them, becomes involved.
President Castro's demand that the
blockade be raised before the negotiations
are opened is regarded here as certain to
create further delays. and the belief has
been expressed that the second lombard
ment of the Maracaibo fort will greatly
increase the difficulties of the situation.
The Standard, referring to the previous
bombardment of Fort San Carlos SAYS:
ut is difficult to maintain a pacific
blockade, and in the long run Venezuela
must be the chief sufferer from such a
contretemps. 1t may be hoped that Pres
ident Castro will this and promptly
authorize Minister Bowen TO agree to the
very reasonable preliminary conditions
laid down by the aggrieved powers"

ELKINS INTRODUCES
AN ANTITRUST BILL
It's Provisions Are Drafted to Cover
Railroad Features of Proposed
Legislation.

WASHINGTON. Jan 21.-Senator Ell
kins to-day introduced a bill which COW
ers the features of antitrust legislation,
so far as 1t relates to railroads. 1t con-
tains the provisions which have been rec
commended by Attorney General Knox as
TO the punishment Of those who receive
as well as to those who give bribes. 1t
provides for the punishment of corpora
tions by fine instead of Imprisonment Of
the officials; also for injUnctions to pre-
vent determinations
The Elkins bill is the result of confer
ences among various Senators. most Of
them being members of the Interstate
Commerce Committee. Its. purpose is to
secure interstate commerce and railroads
from other legislation The Interstate
Commerce Committee has been unable to
agree upon measures which have been
pending before 1t relating to pooling and
fixing rates by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The new bill leaves these
contested questions out and covers fea-
lures which have been most conspicuous
in the preparation of antitrust legisla-
ton. The bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, of which
Senator Elkins is chairman. and it Is the
intention of the committee to take 1t up
at an early day.

COUP OF TELLER
FACTION FUTILE
Joint Session OF Col
orado Democrats
Lacks Votes.
Half-Dozen Members Refuse
to Take Part in the
Proceedings.

DENVER, jan H-A joint session OF
the two branches of the General Assem-
bly, for the election of a United States
Senator wax held to-day, but only Demo
cratic members participated and there
was no election. After concurring IN an
adjournment of the House until ? o'clock
Friday. the Democratic Representatives
proceeded TO the Senate chamber. where
the Joint session was called to order by
Senator Adams, President pro tenn or
the Senate. There were present twenty
six Senators and twenty-five Representa-
tives-total of fifty-One, which is the
number required to elect Senator Three
Republican Senators were in the cnam-
Der during the session, but withdrew be-
fore a ballot was taken Senator Theo-
dore Mcclure a Democrat, also retired
after the Joint session had refused to
excuse him from voting, leaving only fifty
members present. Several members OBJ
jected to the proceedings on the ground
that the joint session was irregular and
five Democrats besides Mcclure refused
to vote for Senator. On the joint ballot
forty-five votes were cast. all being for
Henry III. Teller. The joint session then
adjourned until noon tomorrow.
The Republican leaders claim that any
action the joint session may take is Illegal
and invalid as the House had ajourned.
They agreed to an adjournment of the
House until Friday in order to give the
two Senates a chance to make peace and
they did not anticipate the plan of the
Democrats TO hold a joint session.
All efforts TO bring the two Senates to-
gether have proved unavaiiing.
There We're rumors OF war and plenty
of warlike preparations at the State
House tonight. Early in the evening the
story gained currency that body OF
armed men was hidden somewhere in the
State House with the purpose of seizing
the chamber Of the House of Representa-
tives during the night and holding ii in
the interest Of one of the Senatorial can
didates. To guard against such contin-
gency ergeant-at-arms Plummer placed
thirty armed men. in charge of Assistant
Sergeant-at-arms Sherman Bell, who was
a member of Roosevelt's Rough Riders,

evening. They are protected by a score

commanded by Generals Her
mosillo and Teleria. General
Riera, who showed great per-
sonal bravery during the fight, is
reported to have been wounded
in the leg. He is now fleeing in
the direction of Paraguayana,
and he probably will embark for
Curacao. The Government lost
ten men killed. The houses in
Coro are riddled with bullets.
Details have been received Of
the encounter that took place
late Monday night at Coro.
Eleven hundred men, under
command of General Riera, the
revolutionary leader, made the
attack upon the city while the
Government troops were asleep
and entirely unprepared. The
latter quickly rallied and order
among them was soon restored.
The fighting lasted several hours
and resulted in the complete rout
of the revolutionists, who fled
from the field, leaving many OF
their number prisoners in the
hands of the Government forces.
Their flight was SO precipitate
that they left behind them guam
titles of baggage, many rifles and
much ammunition. The Gov
ernment loss was twelve killed
and wounded. The firing was
very heavy and great damage was
done to the city.

facture.
Even Peruna has not altogether escaped
such criticism. But people who have TAX
en- Peruna, who have known Of the bene-
fits Of Peruna by actual experience, know
how utterly unfounded such notions are
concerning Peruna. When the treasurer
of the National Prohibition Voters
League comes out In public statement
to the effect that words fail to express
his praise of Peruna, and for the manu-
facturers of Peruna, it must appear to
every candid mind how utterly irrational
it is to suppose that any objection could
be raised against Peruna from the stand
point of temperance
Every great success is sure to make
enemies. Peruna is a great success, and
through jealousy and envy much has been
said calculated to prejudice the public
against it.
But those who have taken Peruna know
better The vast multitude Of people who
have been cured of catarrh in some form
by Peruna will never cease to praise Pc
runa for the benefits received.
Hon. Geo. W. Mcbride. ex-United States
Senator from Oregon. from the Dewey
Hotel Washington, D. c., writes: 1.-The
