sHUBER ON THE SITUATION.
Young Democrats Looking to William Rar
dolph Hearst as Presidential Probability.

New York May 30.-Mr. Shaber, speak
ing on Presidential probabilities says:
ut is too early in the game to say any
thing definite as to the probabilities next
year. We in New York, however, feel
that the prospects for Democratic victory
in 1904 are exceedingly bright. Given a
platform broad, conservative and true to
Democratic principles, and candidate who
can unite the party east and west. there
will be no doubt DIS to the result

can be that man. His strength IN New
York lies in Wall street, which IS In itself

been truly said the prosperity OF our
country today is in a great measure due
to him. The people have only begun to
realize this and IN many quarters where
his name was formerly received with exc
crations it is now hailed with acclamatloAs
and he has lived to see the change.
doubt very much whether Mr.. Cleveland
would jeoparalze the proud position he
holds and will hold in history by engag-
ing in another political contest.
Mr. German is a veteran Scared in
many battle for Democracy and while
he is sincerity honest and greatly respect
ed, he lacks that magnetic quality calcu
lated to enthuse his followers. He seems
besides, whether right or wrong, to labor
under the charge which has condemned
Mr.. Hill, that of political trickery and
consequently fails to inspire with conf
dence which the party must have in its
candidate. To Mr.. Harmon and Mr.
Olney the same objections apply as per
tain to Mr.. Cleveland in principal being
too wholly favored by Wall street, the
mere suspicion of which it is needless to
say would drive from us the immense sup
port not only in the labor class OF the East
but in the South and Southwest also.
MANY New Workers and prominent
men throughout the country favor Judge
Parker. Of New York. The fact that he
has been so long a time on the bench and
in consequence has been freed from the
necessity of taking decided political
stand in the past, holding, as it were a
negative position, would make him in the
opinion of many strong candidate.
There is no doubt that he would poll a
large vote. especially in New York city,

VENEZUELAN Congress Requests Gen.

The Venezuelan congress, by
unanimous vote has declined to accept

The congressional hall was crowded
Saturday, and all the mepbers Of the

President Castro read his message to
congress. President Castro first
passed in review the terrible condi-
lions which prevailed in the country,
and denounced the tcrrors Of his coun.
trymen. But he continued, III 1t Is
painful to consider how much blood
has been shed. and how many tears.
II is a consolation to think that their
bitter stream, by the law Of compen-
sation, will bring something that
should correspond to present day as
pirations, since every struggle begets
an idea and every victorious idea jus.
titles the supposition that an onward
step has been taken on the road to
human perfection. Our victory, citi-
zen legislators, over the great adver-
stiles which have just oppressed us,
must terminate the tumults Of our
life; otherwise we shall reach a
shameful dissolution"
In closing his address, President
Castro said I now deliver my res,g-
nation In order that you may proceed
legally to call on him who should take
my place, so that there may remain to
no Venezuelan the slightest pretext
for any hostility to his country or for
connivance with the foreigners who,
without any grounds that have force,
fell upon unfortunate Venezuela, trod-
ding under foot reason and justice, to
the detriment Of civilization and right.
All the energies and possibilities of
my life are at your service should II
become necessary to arise and defend
our country against the attacks of the
foreigner. All the glory I ask Is to
contemplate Venezuela respected,
prosperous and happy"
