Fort San Carlos. At both places 1t was
declared no orders mad been given to

admit they knew the Vineta was pro-

ticipate a bombardrent. The foreign
office regrets extremely that 1t Is un-
able to publish report on the subject.
due to the fact that 1t Is wholly with
ont information. thru the deferred
means OF communication by way OF
Curacao and owing to the German con-
sul at Maracaibo being cut off from re-

Berlin. Ofncials admit the incident is
likely to renew anti German agitation
In the United States" and they say they
recognize the disayantage Germany Is
placed in thru the impossibility OF get
ting proper reports from Venezuela.
The foreign Office does not even know
what was the course of the Panther In

Philadelphia, Jan. %. Thomas
Thomas, district superintendent N the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company, testified
before the coal strike commission to-
day that in cases where contract min
ers bid for work the contract is given to
lowest bidder. In one Instance a sa-
loonkeeper who was not employed in
the mines was awarded a contract to
cut coal. He never entered the mine,
but had other men do the work for him..
r. S. Mercer district superintendent
of the Lehigh Valley, said in very cold

times seriously curtailed because of a
shut down of the breakers He thought
ten hours day was not too long for a
miner to work in the mines.

Ankeny Gains Two Votes.

Olympia, Wash, Jan. 22.-Levi An
keny gained two votes on the ballot
for United States senator. but he is
still nineteen short of an election.
Harold Preston, Ankeny's closest
competitor, gained one vote today, tho
these slight gains We're expected, and
consequently have but little signiti-
cance.
The election of senator is closely In
terwoven with the railroad commission
bill, and the impression prevails that
there will be no senator elected until
some agreement is reached whereby a
railroad commission bill can be passed.

The death of N. X. Fluke, Of Daven-
port, is regarded by tn Observation-Disclosures
of Iowa as distinct loss to the science
of pomology Thesstate society has for
several years maintained about a dozen
experiment stations in different parts
OF the state, and has divided among
the men in charge the different kinds Of
work to be done. Mr.. Fluke had charge
of one OF these stations and on farm
near the state orphans home he had
been carrying on experiments mainly in
the direction of developing new yarte-
ties Of apples and other fruits suitable
to Iowa. He had already originated a
number OF interesting varieties and had
large number of seedlings on his ex-
pertinent farm. The officials Of the
state society have decide that the work
he was doing was too valuable to be
allowed to drop. and have agreed to
carry on,tile work indefinitely. For the
present, and until someone can be Sc
cured to take up the work In Scott
county, the station will be in charge
OF Eugene Secor, Of Forest City, MEM
Der of the Iowa house and former
president of the horticultural society.
An interesting war is on in Des
Moines between the city park board and
the owners Of certain ice houses along
the Des Moines river. The park board
has been making an effort to secure
possession Of the. river front on both
sides of the river in the north part Of
the city adjacent to Union park, and
has purchased most of the land. But
there are several ice houses there and
the owners have refused to sell. The
board condemned the land but the jury
placed the price too high for the board.
Now another tack has been taken and
the board has established a skating
rink on the ice and is in court asking
that the companies be restrained from
cutting Ice. If they cannot cut the ice
they will have. to move their houses
and the land will be comparatively
worthless J. 1t is questionable whether
this can be done but the board has
employed good lawyers and is fighting
the case hard. while the Ice men con-
tinue cutting Ice.
