The United States has a claim against
Venezuela which was allowed by a
commission appointed by both govern
ments.
Now here comes Great Britain and
Germany, whose claims have been
flouted by the>venezuelan government,
and they proceed to force a settlement

and the end of the trouble, which
looked in sight few days ago, is
somewhere in the dim future now.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The executive
branch of the government is not dis
posed to cease it's efforts to bring about
an adjustment of the ratio Of gold and
silver currency III the Orient, and in
other silver using countries, with the
mere presentation to congress Of the
Mexican and Chinese notes Thursday.
These notes urged that the United
States should join with silver-using
countries in all effort, as the president
puts it in his message, inclosing the
appeals Of China and Mexico: Ito
restore and maintain a fixed relation
ship between the moneys of the gold
standard countries and the silyer-using
countries"
The president recommends that "the
executive be given sufficient powers
to lend the support of the United States

as he may deem expedient to the pur-
poses of the two governments" Sec

particularly urgent in seeking to rem

Philippines caused in large part by
fiuctuating currency ratios, while Sec
rotary Hay is interested in the propo-
sition because it promises to at once
alleviate the friction now existing as
result Of the Chinese indemnity ques-
ton.
The secretary also is looking into
tie future toward the enlargement of
United States trade In South and Gen.
trail America, where silver is still the
standard of value. Therefore the propo-
sition win be laid before congress to

Payne Says They Have Been Paid.
Payne was particularly insistent in
his opposition to these bills, calling at
tention to the exposure of the fraud
ulent character Of many similar claims
In the Forty-fifth congress. He ex-
pressed the opinion that all these
claims had been paid before. The men,
bers interested stood together, how
ever. and voted him down every time
he demanded division. There were
several bills to reimburse postmasters
and internal revenue collectors for
stamps lost or stolen. One was to pay

George c. Ellison, an engineer at the
capital in the 70's, $1,000 for the cost
of defending himself against the charge
of murder; to pay $1,000 to the widow
of Samuel Muhleman, one Of the VIC
tins of the old Ford theater disaster,
when the building, in which were en-
ployed government clerks, collapsed,
and to refund the customers Of w. NJ.
Jacobs, of Lancaster, Pa, the amount
Of the counterfeit stamps purchased
from him.
Payne Fails to Stem the Tide.
When the committee Of the whole
reported the bills to the house Payne
blocked their final passage for the day
by making the point of no quorum.
But the friends Of the claims refused
to be baked. A motion was made to
recess until this morning at 1920
o'clock, in order 10 continue the legis-
lative day Of yesterday, and the SER
geant-at-arms and his deputies were
sent out to arrest and bring In alb
sentees. 1t was p. N. before the re-
quisite quorum was sec, led to carry
the motion and let the session go over
until 1920 a. m. today.

Reh's Show.
Correspondence of the Beacon.

Correspondence Of the Beacon.)
Reh, who with his entertaining
company. gave a six nights per-
Torrance in the Leonardtown Hall,
last week, can rightly call them
selves entertainers, as their show is
excellent in every respect. Shorty
Wilson, who is with the company as
an old man and tramp character, has
stepped into the shoes of Nat Wills.
Chris Sproesser, as a dancer can
easily be called the boy with the
educated feet. Prof. Paul Oliver is
also fine and his ragtime playing,
initiating the Southern darkey s
clog dancing and imitation OF a music
box on the Baby Grand Piano, which
Mr.. Reh carries with his company,
is one of the features never before
presented in the Town Hall. TWAS
highly appreciated by the large au-
dance and they never tired listen
ing TO the Professor. John L. Reh,
as an entertainer can easily be rank
ed with Sam Drane, Esqr., Kendall,
George f. Golden and others. and
when he makes his appearance on
the stage as black face comedian,
it is hard to tell II he is Macktie,
Heath or one OF the young Southern
darkeys or John L. Reh, in his char.
acter, and as coon singer he is
second to none. Miss Blanch Reh,
sister of Mr.. Reh, in her part of the
program as a singer and dancer
cannot be given too much praise.
All in oil the show was the best we
have Witnessed for some time, and
hope that we may again have the
pleasure of seeing Mr.. Reh's Com.
pany before many days to come.
