GERMAN FOREIGN SECRETARY
Explains Position and Why They Are
Now After Venezuela.

Berlin, Jan. 23-The first official report
of the bombardment of Fort San Carlos
arrived in the shape of dispatch from
the commander of the Fake dated Will
lefnstadt, Island of Curacao, Jan. q, say
ing he had received information from
Maracaibo that the Fort San Carlos had
been shelled and set on fire by the Vineta
and Panther and had ultimately been de-
StrOyed
The Lokal Anzeiger says that it has re-
ceived information to the effect that
San Carlos fired on the Panther first, as
the cruiser was feeling her way into the
inner harbor channel.
In the Reichstag, today Foreign Secre-
tary Won Richtoften expressed the hope
that the Venezuelan difficulties would
soon bet settled. He said:
1.-The negotiations at Washington, it is
hoped, will show an early result, render
ing it possible to raise the blockade. So
long as the blockade exists, however, re-
spect for it must be enforced. The ac-
ton against Maracaibo was undertaken
for this purpose
eign secretary, that we went into this
affair dashingly, with drums and trum-
pets Dashing' l admit, from the mo-
ment when we appealed to arms, But
with drums and trumpetS' / can by no
means admit. On the contrary, we went
to the extreme limit of patience and long
suffering. The Venezuelan government
not only refused to settle the debt con-
orally admitted, but at the same time
committed brutal acts of violence against
Germans and German property We
made complaint of these matters through
diplomatic channels but did not succeed
in making progress upon this basis. The
Venezuelan government declared that it
must exclude all these cases from diplo-
matte treatment In one memorandum,
communicated to us through a note, il
characterized our intended course in the
affair as insulting, inadmissible, outra-
geous and preposterous. We made pro-
posas to settle the controversy by arbi-
tration as early as July, 1901, as at time
when, by way of exception, no civil war
prevailed in Venezuela. and when the
President was fully able to satisfy our
claims.
I'm a note of our charge in the affairs
July 16, 1901, the following language was
used: The proposition which | have the
honor of submitting verbally to your eX-
cellency is the following: ""The Vene-
zuelan government on one part and the
imperial minister resident on the other

PATIENTLY WAITING.
Minister Bowen Still Hopes to Sue
cessful!y Negotiate Trouble.

Washington, JAM 23-Minister Bow
ems position is not one of patient wait
ing. As to his proposition to the allies
that the blockade be Immediately
raised, exchanges are still being made
between the London Berlin and Rome
foreign offices in an effort to prepare a
Joint reply. Much as he deplores the
action of Germany in bombarding the
San Carlos fort, Mr.. Bowen is disposed
to treat it as local and so far as he
is concerned he will not let it inter-
tere with his efforts to secure peace.
Mr.. Bowen is much pleased with the
attitude of the allies representatives
here, all.of whom have had conferences
with him and assured him that so far
as they may be able, the negotiations
shall proceed with dispatch. They OF
course decline to comment on the ac-
tivities in Venezuelan waters.
Reports from London that Mr.. Bow
en- came to Washington with docu-
mentary evidence of the collision OF
the German government with the rev.
olutionsts in Venezuela for the over
throw of Castro, are lacking confir-
nation here, Mr.. Bowen being unwilling
as yet to affirm or deny them. 1t is
stated however, that the revolutionists
are finding no trouble in securing am
munition and arms from some source
The United States government can
not at this moment see any proper ex-
cuse for entering into this quarrel be-
tween Germany and Venezuela. 1t is
again and emphatically stated that
when the United States exercised its
good offices to the extent of bringing
the allies and the Venezuelan govern
ment into negotiations it exhausted its
proper functions in that direction and
could do no more. Mr.. Bowen is again
declared to be not the representative
of the United States but of Venezuela
and the State department is very care
full to preserve the appearance of indie
pendence on Mr.. Bowens part by de-
clining to receive any reports from him
or even encouraging hf7 visits.

REAPING WHAT THEY SOWED.

Tie leading American industries now organized into
trusts have for long period CT years received under the
Republican protective theory the highest tariff against
foreign competition known tariff history ancient or
modern. Under the protection of this tariff wall the
trusts have been raised and grown by assessing upon
the American people the highest kind CT price dscrimna-
items OH The necessaries and comforts of life.
Finally, the time has when the American trust
is too big for simply domestic market and the mar
kets Of the world demanded. In ether words Alex
andcr seeks new worlds to conquer. Now comes the
hitch
Yesterday The Globe referred to the proposed
new German tariff, which is practically prohibitive
against The Importation Of American goods. The Amer
lean INVASION subject Of hostile legislation

getting its tariff wall in shape that the American
trust is completely barred cut.

stood with open hands and for some six or eight years

FROM A SECULAR STANDPOINT.

The address Of Gov. Cummins, Of Iowa, before the
annual convention of the Young Mems Christian
citation the secular mission of that organization
brings out some good practical ideas.
One IS that the demands Of modern business and
professional life, which force work under high
pressure, compel to be equipped for it mentally,
physically and in moral living and habits and that the
Y M. c. A. in this respect is strong factor in the
community. 1t fortifes young in each of these
respects 1t fits him stand the strain 1t capacates
him for important Positions. 1t helps him sustain
his energies and hold his place until the high rewards
come.
Another practical turn which Gov. Cummins gave
to the subject was that it is cheaper for community
to invest its money Y. NJ c. A than in police The
organization which teaches and helps young men to
obey both the moral laws and human statutes accom-
pshes to make laVH-abiding and lavv-resDec
than all of the states police and sherifs ja and
prisons.
The ST. Paul Y NJ c. A. is engaged in the worthy
of raising fund OF 100000 for the erection Of
permanent home Certainly few more worthy and val
liable institutions into community than this
and pubcspirited citizens regardless of the religious
side OF the subject will find first-class investment

WITHDRAWAL OF ADDICKs.

Because the gas magnate OF Delaware announces his
withdrawal from the senatorial race there is sign
that he is out of politics. Like Quay, Mr. j. Edward
AddiCks dead because he is quiet If he drops
out of the himself, is tC control of both
senatorial jobs for his appointees. If he extends the
olive branch to his enemies it is that he get them within
range IS smte them the thigh.
The fact is, the Republican party Of Delaware is
Mr.. Addcks. He is the type of Republican magnate
that represents the party principles and organized eff
cheney Addcks is to Delaware Republicansm what
Hanna is to Ohio, what Quay is Pennsy vania, what
Platt is to New York
AS Addcks himself modestly admits, there no
Republican party in Delaware until Addicks into
politics twelve years age Delaware until then Dem
ocratc The people unorganzed and had their
primitive ideas, and the Addicks doctrine which was
the essence of Republicanism unappied. He Re
publicaniZed the when he Addicksated it.
When Addcks leaves Delaware politics. Delaware
will cease to be Republican, and will drop back into
its old Democratic ways. This will not be permitted
long the gas franchise Of J. Edward Addcks holds
out to burn.

What the Religious World
Is Thinking About and Doing
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON AND YOUNG PEOPLES TOPIC
COMMENTS BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

light. To be or do the best when the
crowd is looking on and applauding
tests no mans nerve. The proof Of
ones character comes in the long
stretches of hard duty that are out of
sight, when no man appears to know
or care, and when it seems but a lit
tie thing, and an easy thing, to let
down a trifle. Paul's active life had
these long periods of difficult duty
when no man praised him. Here in
Corinth he was entering upon such an
experience, for he was settling down
to a year and a half of preaching
teaching and tent making. He knew
how to stick at a hard job. He was
pastor as well as an evangelist.
Evidently, though, he needed cheer
ing up, for one night the Lord appear
ed to him in vision. God knows that
the men who seem to their fellows to
be the strongest often have sore need
of the heartening word. That man is
doing the Lords work who goes
through the world reviving mems
courage. The message that came to
Paul was one that crowds the pages
of the Seriptures-"Be not afraid"
God has many words of courage to
speak to his servants, and they are
Strikingly alike, whether found in the
Old Testament or the New. Fear not
and fight on, said the Lord; and then
ne adQeQ Une pest reason Tor encOur-
agement, For I am with thee" There
is nothing else that so fits a man for
a brave, hard task as the conscious
ness that he is working with and for
the invincfble Jehovah. When a new
nation was needed in this Western
continent the men chosen for the work
were men who were so filled with the
fear of God that they had no room for
any other fear. Like Paul, they con-
quered because they believed God.
Fearlessness is a child of faith.
