they are accomplished, the United
States will have taken brilliant revenge
upon Spanish America for the latter

SATISFACTION Demanded.

Buda Pesth, March 81. An enor-
nous deputation of students, citizens and
deputies, 5000 in all, marched to the
residence of Premier Sell and demand
ed from him satisfaction for the barbar-
ity of the police during the riot incident
to the celebration of the anniversary OF
the death of Louis Kossuth yesterday.
High words passed between the leaders
of the deputation and the premier. FL
nally, the latter turned on his heel, and
left the deputation without having given
them any satisfaction. Further trouble
is expected. When Sell enteted the
chamber he was greeted with cries OF
'cHangman, assassin" "Assassina-
tor of children" The latter epithet re-
ferred to the fact that two students who
we're dubbed by the police yesterday,
died of their wounds during the night.
The cries increased until the whole
chamber was in an uproar which despite
the efforts of the officials of the chamber,
could not be quoted.

Court in finding five large beef packing
companies guilty of maintaining an un-
lawful combination to control prices OF
meat in the State of Missouri and in
issuing an order Of custer, prohibiting
them from doing business in that State,
and to pay a fine of $4,000 each and to
bear the costs of the proceedings, will be
read with pleasure by people generally
throughout the entire country. 1t Is
hoped that the decision will have the
effect of not only breaking up the beef
trust but others whose grinding and
arbitrary methods have brought them
into just disrepute with a long suffering
people who have been and are being
robbed in most outrageous manner by
these monopOlies.

SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH q, 1905

THE VENEZUELAN TROUBLE, whlch
has lain dormant for several weeks,
and over which, it was hoped, tomb
stone would soon be erected, has broken
out in a fresh place and is again
matter of the utmost international I'M
portance. This state of affairs has been
superinduced by the introduction OF the
offer of the Seligmans to lend Venezuela
money to pay its debts, which may IN
volye the United States much more than
was ever contemplated. Minister Bowen
has received an answer from Sir Michael
Herbert. the British Ambassador, to his
recent communication asking why he
had not had a definite reply as to the
acceptability of his protocol sending the
question of preferential treatment for the
allied powers to The Hague. Sir
Michael simply states that in view OF
the fact that Minister Bowen's leave
had been extended he could see no
reason for haste. He added that he had
received certain instructions from the
London Foreign Office bearing upon
The Hague protocol, which he would
follow out next week unless in the
meantime they be oountermanded
The allied powers do not desire to see
the question of preferential treatment
submitted to The Hague, as they are
convinced that the decision would be
against them. 1t is apparent to oihclaIS
of this country that the acceptance oil
the Seligman proposition would transfer
the responsibility for the debt OF Vene-
zuela 10 the United States as Mr.. Sehg-
man demands that an American citizen
be appointed by this government to ad-
minister the customs dues OF the two
ports In case Venezuela should refuse
to live up to her agreement with the In
ternational firm of bankers it would not
fall upon either Great Britain or Ger
MANY to.see that she paid her debts, but
upon the United States, whose citizen was
administering the customs. 1t is there
fore apparent that instead of Minister
Bowen placing the allies at disadvan'
tage as was at first supposed the country
he represents has found itself about to
drop into trap.
