President Presents Big
Tax Bill.

PORT OF SPAIN. Island of Trinidad.
Oct. 6.-Emissaries of President Castro.
of Venezuela, have arrived at Ciudad
Bolivar, Venezuela, with orders to col
lect. forcibly, not only the taxes, but
the custom house duties already paid
by importers from May, 1902. to August,
1903. That was the period during which
the revolutionists occupied that city as
a seat of government. The amount de-
manded is about $1,000. 900. The FOR
eigners, especially the firms of Blohm &
Co.. German; Palazzi & Co., French; Bo-
cardo & Co, Italian, and Dalon Co.,
American, have refused to pay, alleging
that the duties had already been legally
paid. Menaces and vexatious tactics
are employed against the foreigners.
President Castro's representative at
Ciudad Bolivar was quoted as saying:
Germany and the other foreign powers
Obliged the Venezuelan government to
pay millions. Now 1t is Venezuela who
forces the Germans and other foreigners
to reimburse her"

WOMEN TRY TO NAME
HERBERT'S SUCCESSOR
Fair Ones Interested in British AM
nasSadorship.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-While the govern
ment is endeavoring to maintain its re-
solve not to consider the question OF a
successor to Sir Michael Herbert at
the Washington embassy at present.
there is reason TO believe that much
pulling is already going on Sew
eral women, prominent on both sides OF
the Atlantic. are becoming interested in
the matter
1t is known that after the death or
Lord Pauncefote, the appointment OF Sir
Michael Herbert was opposed by several
well-known New Workers, and promi-
nent English woman, then visiting
America, and who, it was supposed, had
the ear of the King, was enlisted on
their side.
1t was only with great difficulty that
the Kings consent was obtained to Sir
Michael Herbert's appointment.
Now it is reported that Sir Henry
Howard. British minister at The Hague.
is the Kings choice for the post of
ambassador at Washington. Lady How
ard was formerly Cecilia Riggs, OF
Washington.
The next likeliest selection from the
service is said to be Sir Arthur Nicol-
son. British minister to Morocco.

.FEALIY TO LABOR IS
PUT ABOVE POLITICS
Central Labor Union Takes
Strong Action.
DUE TO WESTERN CIRCULAR
Resents Letter Calling on Employers
to Commend President for Miller
Case Action.

The Central Labor Union OF wash
ington adopted resolutions last night
pledging fealty to organized labor, above
that of political party, and declaring
that it will maintain and defend the
principles of trades unionism wherever
and by whomsoever attacked. regardless
of interests OF any faction or the politi-
cal advancement of any individual
The resolution was adopted in con-
sequence of a letter issued by Fred
Barmickel, vice president and general
manager of the indianapolis Drop Forge
Company. and addressed to e F. De
Trades Association. Cincinnati. which
has been circulated throughout the
country. This letter calls attention to
"the unexampled gall that organized
labor is again displaying through the
action of the central labor body at
Washington, in denouncing the Presi-
dent for his course in the Miller case"
The letter concludes as follows:
''Q9es II not strike you that this Mil
lerkhcident presents an opportunity for
employer and non-unionist to go on rec
ord and deluge the President with let
tiers indorsing his course. The National
Metal Trades Association ought to be-
come active in this, as should every
other similar body. A letter Of common
dalton will go to the President signed
by 100 of our non-union men, and 1
don't doubt that union men in every
one of our members shops will take
similar action II the matter is brought
to their attention. There is no Ques-
ton in my mind that the Presidents
course is largely responsible for the
reaction that has set in against the
abuses of organized labor, and he ought
to be encouraged, and the fact empha-
sized that the country is with him in
this question"

B. & o. CONFERENCE
ENDED AMICABlY

BALTIMORE, Oct. 6.-The conference
between the employees of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company and the Of
fcials of that company ended yesterday
in an amicable settlement by means Of
mutual concession. The men withdrew
the claim for the expenses of the confer
ence. which they estimated at $4,000.
This action wiped out the line OF divi-
sion between both sides and concluded
the conference. The final meeting was
held in the Office OF General Manager
Sims. and the railroad company was rep
resented by Vice President George l..
Potter, to whom the men appealed when
the conference with the other repre-
sentatives OF the Baltimore and Ohio last
week ended in disagreement.

RUSSIA MAY LOWER
DUTY ON RAW COTTON

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. cit is inti-
mated in the "Ofieial Messenger that
a reduction in the duty on raw cotton
may be expected in the autumn OF 1904.
This is the first prospective departure
from the prevailing protective system.
The purchasing power of the Russian
masses is SO low that the textile inter-
ests are threatened with ruin. notably
those in the ST. Petersburg district. The
duties on finished goods are sufficiently
high TO exclude foreign competition, but
the high prices cannot be maintained.
owing to the inability of the masses to
pay them.

REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING NOTES
Y. M. C. A. Building Plans.


The executive committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association will have
meeting next week. at which some
action is to be taken regarding the in
creased accommodation for boys. 1t is
question whether the present struc-
ture is TO be remodeled. or a new one
erected and devoted exclusively to the
Use Of the juniors.
On the occasion of the fftieth ami
yersary OF the association a pamphlet
was issued In which were set forth plans
having in view both contingencies. 1t
was there stated that the Street build
ing was to be extended at a cost Of
$4,000 and a building for boys erected
on the Eighteenth Street lot, belonging
TO the association. at a cost of SIS, 200.
While 1t is probable that these ideas Will
be adhered to, 1t is possible that the
plans may be changed so far as TO make
one continuous building of the sections
for adults and boys. respectively. This
is one OF the features Of the situation to
be discussed at the meeting next week.
