GERMAN CRUISER
DROPS A SHELL
Commodore Says UnauthOr-
ised Persons We're in
Venezuelan Port.

PUERTO CABELLO, Jan. 15.-The
German cruiser Vineta, at sunset last
night, fired a shell at La Vigia, the
fort browning the hills behind this
port. The she'll which was fired be-
cause men were believed to be in the
fort, exploded without causing dam
age.
The people of Puerto Cabello were
at loss to understand the action of
the cruiser. Early this morning, how
ever, Commodore Scheder sent the
following communication to the Vene-
zuelan authorities through William H.
Nolkmar, acting American consul
here:
Il fired a shell yesterday at Fort La
Nigia because, against my explicit
prohibition, the presence has been OBJ
served there of unauthorized persons.
Judging from reports those persons
were soldiers
The statement that there We're unau-
thorized persons in the fort is denied
by the authorities here
CARACAS, Jan. Is. - NJ. j. F. S.
Goffart, the Belgian vice consul and
charge d'affaires pro TEN here, has
obtained from President Castro the
concession of a settlement of all claims
of Belgians against Venezuela by
means of a mixed commission. One
member Will be a Belgian, another a
Venezuelan and the third will be
named by these two. Belgium is to
receive payment as the most impor-
tant nation.

porations the right to make pooling
contracts. The Elkins bill, embodying
these provisions, slept in the senate
committee until few days ago, when
Chairman Elkins hastily summoned
the committee together. Three meet
ings have been held during the past
six days, and it is announced by SEN
ator Elkins that his dill is nearly ready
for the consideration of the senate.
He says he hope to secure for it a
place on the calendar which will in
sure early consideration.
The purpose of this move is obvious.
Senators believe that this bill will be
less obnoxious to the railroads and
shippers than the Knox bill. The lat
ter covers much the same ground IN
the matter of penalties for discrim-
nations and the giving of rebates,
but the Knox bill does not cover pool
ing, nor does it invest the commission
with the rate-making power. On the
whole, Elkins argues, it will be bet
ter for the railroads to deal with the
present commission, known guam
tity, than to adopt the administra-
tons plan for creating a new commits
sion to enforce the rebate penalties.

CONTINUED ANXIETY
OVER THE ST. LOUIS
President of the Line Issues
a TranquilIizing
Statement.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Up to mid
night no news had been received of
the American line steamship st. Louis.
Throughout the day crowds of inquir-
Frs called at the offices of the COM
pany. where the agents maintained a
cheerful view and assured all that
there was no need for alarm.
To those who made inquiry a copy of
the following statement signed by
Clement A. GriscOm, the president of
the line, was given:
There is no apprehension whatever
felt about the ship, as several causes
have contributed to her delay. She did
not leave Cherbourg until Sunday
forenoon, nearly sixteen hours late,
and, according to her average speed
for the last few voyages, was not due
here until Tuesday. Furthermore, most
incoming ships are a day late and re-
port heavy weather. 1t is known that
the ships boilers are not in good con-
ditiOn, as she is to be withdrawn at
the end of the present voyage for re-
pairs. 1t is not even believed that she
met with any mishap, such as the
breaking of a shaft or loss Of propel-

DEATHS OF ADAY.

ROME, Jan. 15.-Cardinal Lucido
Mary Parocchi, subdean of the sacred
college and vice chancellor of the Ro-
man Catholic church, died today of
heart disease. He was born in 1888,
was of Italian nationality, and was ere
ated a cardinal in 1877. His death re-
moves one of the prelates considered
to be the most likely to succeed Pope
Leo. There was considerable friction
between the pope and Cardinal Pa
rocchi on this account, and it led to the
unprecedented step of the pontiff in re-
moving the cardinal from the post of
vicar of Rome because it was thought
that he, too, openly posed as the flu
tUre pope.
AMIGO. Wis, Jan. 15.--T. D. KEEL
logg, q wealthy lumberman and we'll
known throughout the state, died to-
day from heart disease, aged seventy
years.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Jan. 15.-Col.

commander of the Grand Army of

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Mertl Fran
cesco, one of the passengers, died of
fright during the twelfth day that the
Spanish steamship Montevideo was at
sea bound for New York The Monte
here last Sunday. She reached her
pier today.
Capt. Grau said 1t was the worst
passage he ever made from start to
finish. From the day she left the Span
ish coast until he reached Sandy Hook
it was one succession Of gales. At
times the sea ran seventy feet high,
burying the ship under tons of water
On the fifth day out the starboard
deckhouSe was stove in. The starboard
rail was crushed and the starboard life
boats were left aWash. The water
broke through every possible opening
and soon everything above and below
was a nasS1of ice. The ship had 242
passengers. most of whom were unac-
.customed to the rigors OF q northern
winter. They spent most of the time
on their knees before rudely construct
ed shrines which they placed in every
corner of the steerage.
On Jan. IL the ship encountered the
worst gales of the voyage. 1t broke
on the ship with high head seas which
carried away cOmpaniOnway on the
port side and the steerage bath room on
the after deck. Water poured below
deck into the steerage compartment.
Francesca, who was weakened by ter
ror and inability to eat, was unable to
leave his berth. The next morning he
was found dead.

CENTRAL COMMIT
TEES STRIKERS
HUNT TROUBLE
Second Attack on Babcock
Organization Through Its
Committee on Rules Re
suits in Another Whipping
for the Poor Losers.

The attempt to make trouble for
Babcock and his organization Of the
house through an attack on the COM
mittee on rules was renewed yesterday
morning, and again the administra-
ton insurgents were summarily sat
upon.
That element in the house which
purposed to encompass the defeat of
Babcock for speaker seems equally de-
termined to make trouble after being
whipped. The only apparent loop
hole for them Is through the report Of
the committee on rules providing for
the employment of clerks and other
house assistants.
Charge Extravaganza.
The original attack was made Tues
day by representative Rosenwald, who
trenchment. He claimed that the COM
mittee on rules was opening the way
to extravaganza by providing for ad-
ditional help at an increased cost
of $3.50 per day over the salary list
Of the last regular session.
representative Burns fairly fayed
Rosenwald with one of the bitterest
speeches delivered on the floor of the
house for years, and succeeded in hav-
ing the Rosenwald motion for recon-
sideration laid on the table by a prac-
tically unanimous vote. Yesterday
Rosenwald returned to the attack, but
when put to vote his motion to take
from the table was lost by So to 49.

OMAHA FINDS
IT HAS COAL
Another Case of COncealment
of Supply Sufficient for
Popular Needs.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. ia peculiar
condition was unearthed in the coal
situation today, when a newspaper
made public the working Of an alleged
coal combination. For some time the
price of bituminOus coal has been adj
vancing and the supply was thought to
have been materially decreased 1t de-
velops, however, that there is plenty of
soft coal in the city and sufficient an
thracite coal for immediate needs, with
large number of cars arriving daily
What is known as a coal exchange" is
operated 1t is alleged, by the principal
dealers, through which all retailers
agree on selling prices. One dealer,
who is said to be the only large dealer
out of the coal exchange" said he
had months supply, with more com
ing daily, and that he was quite sure
most of the dealers had a reasonable
supply for present needs.
