SUNDAY MEMORIAL SERVICE.
House of Representatives Meets to
Pay Tribute to the Life and Serv-
ices of Deceased Members.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The house of
representatives, Sunday, inaugurated
the experiment of holding memorial
services for deceased members upon
the Sabbath. 1t will be followed here
after during this session, and proba-
bly, will become the general practice
in the house in the future. Hereto
fore, except on very rare n~cc2sions,
the house has broken in on its execn-
tive work Friday and Saturday to lis
ten to eulogies on deceased members,
but the time has seldom been propiti-
Gus, and latterly the practice has
been meeting with growing disfavor.
On account of the pressure OF public
business at this session it was de-
cided to hold these memorial sessions
on Sunday this time.
At the session tribute was paid to
the life and public services of the ate
Representatives Russell, of Connecti-
cut, and Shepard and De Gratfenreid,
of Texas. each of whom died during
the congressional recess. The attend
ance in the galleries was quite large,
and there was a numerous aSsembiage
of friends of the deceased members on
the floor.

WHO FIRED FIRST SH0T?.
Investigations Going On to Deter
mine the Responsibility for
Fort San Carlos Affair.
EVIDENTLY THE WORK OF THE PANTHER.
The Venezuelan War Minister Says
the Report that the Fort Fired
First Is stupid, as the Guns Were
Inferior and Unable to Cope with
Those of the Cruiser.

Caracas, Jan. ga press GORE
spondent has been making inquiries
with a view to ascertaining whether
the German gunboat Panther or Fort
San Carlos fred the first shot.
The foreign minister said: 1.-The
Panther on January II attacked the
fort first without provocation. The
gunboat approached the fort and fired
on it. We can guarantee that the at
tack was premeditated and planned
in Berlin. The proof of this assertion
is a letter we received on the morn
ing of January 16 from Curacao, and
which President Castro retains in his
possession, notifying us that San Car
los would be attacked between Janu-
airy 16 and January is, that is to say,
before the arrival of United States
Minister Bowen at Washington. An
other proof that this attack was
premeditated is the circumstances
that Gen. Bello, who is in command of
the fortress, received no notification
as to the object of the Panther in APP
preaching the fortress similar to the
written ultimatum that the Germans
transmitted through the United States
consul to the Venezuelan representa-
tive at Puerto Cabello, when Fort Lib
ertador was shelled."
The correspondent also saw Dr..
Torres C%ardenas, President Castro's
secretary. DR.. Cardenas was at first
unwilling to discuss the matter, but
afterwards said:
1.-THE Panther attacked first. We
have proof of it. Germany may try
to explain her conduct by asserting
that the fort fired on the vessels first,
fortress, which is immovable, that
called on the Germans. No, it was the
Panther, which was enforcing the
blockade outside the bar six miles
from the fortress, which one morning
came and attacked the fortress. Why
should we attack? Have we tried,
since December 0, to trouble the Ger
mans, English n Italians, notwith-
standing their aggressive policy? Our
role was finished a fortnight ago. Mr..
Bowen, the United States minister,
represents our interests, and we were
patiently and silently awaiting the re-
suit of his mission, when this sad
event occurred. Compare the conduct
of England and Italy with Germany's
system of enforcing the blockade.
You will see that the latter alone has
interest in creating trouble"
The Venezuelan war minister said:
"'The report that we fired first on the
Panther is stupid. Venezuela, being
aware that the guns of the fortress
were inferior and of shorter range
than the German guns, had learned by
the experience of the Smelling of Puer-
to Cabello that if anyone suffered it
would be the fortress"

WOLCOTT
He Urges Colorado People to Ac-

cept Mr.. Teller's Election.
Denver, Col, Jan. 26.-The climax in
the senatorial fight in Colorado came
Sunday night when ex-senator E. o.
Wolcott, the candidate for the So
called "starlwart' wing of the repub-
lican party, announced his practical
withdrawal from any further contest,
and urged the people of Colorado to
accept the situation as it stands by
the election, Saturday, of Senator
Henry M. Teller to succeed himself at
the joint session of democratic sena-
tors and representatives. The an
nouncement was made in a signed
statement, in which Mr.. Wolcott
charges certain republican leaders as
ISOLATED with the anti-Wolcott forces
in tue Republican ranks with treach-
cry, deliberate and continuous, al
though he disposes of others of the
anti Wolcott crowd by characterizing
them as "dupes' of the main con-
spirators.
Mr.. Wolcott concludes his state
ment by saying that for himself he
has not the slightest n of personal
disappointment, nor does he cherish
n toward anybody. He declares
that he will Always be found in the

Health Before Wealth.

Nine out of ten ailments first show them
selves in constipation. Medical statistics
show that a greater number of people
suffer from constipation than from all other
diseases combined. A great talk is made
more people than consumption. Within
the last few years a medicine has been dis
covered of such merit in curing constipa-
ton and its consequences that now over
ten million boxes of CASCARETS are sold
every year, the greatest sale ever attained
by any one medicine in the world and this
is the strongest proof that it is the best
and will do all and more than claimed. If
you are a sufferer give CASCARETS a
trial, and right here we want to warn you
to get the genuine, because all great sue
cesses breed limitations. The genuine tablet
is put up in metal boxes and has the word
CASCARETS with the long-tailed &c" on
the cover. Every Cascaret tablet is stamped

THE PLAGUE AT MAZATLAN.
Money Pouring In from All Parts of
the COuntry-Deaths Continue

Mexico City, Jan. 26.-The charity
committee at MaZatlan has received
up to date 100000 for use in combat
ing the plague. Money is still pour
ing in from all parts of the country.
The official bulletin from Mazatlan re-
ports four deaths and four new cases
for Wednesday last, and for Thursday
reports five deaths and two new cases.

pital was "A, five of which were seri-
Gus. At the pavilions are housed $50

the matter, but will allow the fullest
time for the determination of all the
issues before he signs a certificate for
any person.
The Colorado senator's term does
not begin until March 4, and he is not
likely to need any certificate until
congress assemblies next November,
unless an extra session should be
called.
ID. b. Farley, chairman of the re-
publican state committee, whose res
ignation has been demanded by the
vote of a majority of the committee
on account of his opposition to the
candidacy of e. 0. Wolcott for the
senatorship, has given out a state
ment declaring that the republicans
will not recognize Teller's election.
I'm my opinion he said, "the cleo
ton was illegal and no attention will
be paid to it by the state central COM
mittee or either faction of the repub-
Leans in the house or senate. The
election is invalid for the reason that
the proper officers did not preside
owe the joint session."

THE TREATY WITH COLOMBIA.
The Subject Discussed at q Cabinet Meet
Ing and satisfaction Expressed at
Results Achieved.

Washington, Jan. Birthdays
meeting of the cabinet was one of the
most important held in several weeks,
Subjects of great moment were dis
cussed fully, the session continuing
for two hours. All the members of
the cabinet were present, Secretary
Hay leaving his home for the first
time in several days to attend the
meeting. He presented a draft of the
Panama canal treaty signed Thursday
evening, and both the president and
his associates in the cabinet ex-
pressed satisfaction with the results
achieved through the long and diff.
cult negotiations.
Differ as to the Annuity.
The treaty is identical with that
drawn by this government several
months ago, and at that time SUBJ
mitted to the Colombian government,
with the single exception of the
amount of annuity to be paid Colon
bia for the right of way of the canal.
This government proposed an annuity
of 100000 while Colombia demanded
$650,00O. The Colombian governments
demand was based, it is stated, upon
the asc~ertained returns from the
Panama Railroad Co. in port dues,
etc, which Colombia did not desire to
have reduced. During the several
months of negotiations Colombia
agreed to all points in the treaty pro-
posed by the United States with the
exception of the annuity.
The Amount Increased.
That has heen the point of differ
ence for many weeks, and at one
time it threatened to break off nego-
tiations entirely. Secretary Hay com
municated directly with the Colom-
bian government, intimating that
some agreement must be reached
soon, as the United States desired to
enter on the construction of the ca
nal, if it were to be constructed by
the Panama route. For several days
active efforts have been making to
secure an agreement, but not until
Thursday were they successful. The
Colombian government then, through
Mr.. Herran, the charge d'affaires
here, agreed to accept an annuity of
$250,000. This was entirely satisfac-
tory to the president and Secretary
Hay, and while it is a larger amount
than was offered at first, it is believed
by administration officials that the
senate undoubtedly will accept the
figure named in the treaty. particu-
larly after it is made clear shat a
lesser amount would deprive Colom-
bia of income which she is now actu-
ally receiving.
United States Will Control Canal.
All other points than this one of
money compensation remain as they
stood in the original draft of the
treaty and are completely satisfac-
tory to the United States. The Unit
ed States will have control of the
canal practically in perpetuity, as re-
CURED by the Spooner act; this re-
suit having been attained by the
adoption of a plan for n lease for 100
years, renewable at the pleasure of
the United States, and Colombia hav-
ing nothing to say about the extern
sion. The matters of police and iuri-
deal control is settled by a scheme
of joint action, although it especially
is assured that no citizen of the Unit
ed States will be tried by any other
than his own courts.
