VENEZUELAN AFFAIRS.

Disclosure of secret alliance between
Germany and Italy constituted the I'M
portant development in the Venezuelan
situation. This fact has been made
known to the British Ambassador, and 1t
will put all of the negotiators more close
ly on their guard in drafting the protocols
which they hope to submit to Minister
Bowen during the next few days. The
German-Italian alliance was not news to
Mr.. Bowen, the fact having leaked out
in Caracas before he left there. Gener-
ally speaking, the alliance is intended to
secure to Italy the same treatment in the
allies settlement with Venezuela rs that
received by Germany and Great Britain.
The Venezuelan difficulties, so far as
Great Britain and Minister Herbert w.
Bowen, representing Venezuela, are con-
cerned have practically, been settled,
the only detail yet remaining being the
affixing by Sir Michael Herbert and
Minister Bowen of their signatures to the
protocol. There is some doubt as to the
protocols of Germany and Italy, but a
feeling ofoptimism regarding the ultimate
outcome of the negotiations still exists
in official circles.

FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE.

News of a terrible loss of life in a
storm that swept over the South Sea
Islands last month reached San Francisco
Yesterday by the steamer Mariposa,
direct from Tahiti. The loss of life is
estimated at | 900 persons. On January
10 last huge tidal wave, accompanied
by a terrific hurricane, attacked the
Society Islands and the Puamoto group
with fearful force, causing death and
devastation never before equaled IN
land of dreaded storms.
The storm ragged several days, reach
ing its maximum strength between
January IA and January Is. From the
meager news received at Tahiti up to
the time of the sailing of the Mariposa
it is estimated that |, 900 Of the islanders
lost their lives. 1t is feared that later
adyices will increase this number.
Eighty islands were devastated by the
wind and wave-Makeno and Hao were
completely depopulated-on Hikura
island, where 1000 were engaged in
pearl diving, nearly half the number
were drowned. French warships have
been dispatched with fresh water and
provisions for the suffering survivors.
Tons of pearls we're lost.
The Society and Puamotu islands form
a thickly dotted archipelago and belong
TO France. The inhabitants are much
like the native Hawaiians.

Pope,s Condition Causes Alarm.

Rome, Feb. 9.-Pope Leo, after the
function of the anniversary of Pope
Pius's death, on Saturday, was re-
duced to a state of extreme exhaustion,
and was obliged to go to bed, from
which he has not yet been moved. All
the receptions fixed for today have been
postponed. The prelate's doctors are
working hard to restore his strength so
that he may appear soon and allay the
uneasiness regarding him. The Vatican
generally fears that Leo will not long
survive the fatigues incident to his
silver jubilee in March.
The Pope today insisted on being
placed in a chair, and gave an audience
to Bishop Thomas d. Beaver, OF
Springfield, Mass. The audience had
lasted for few seconds, only, when the
Pope's doctors persuaded him to return to
his bed.
The Pope is fighting the weakness.
He declared, when requested to return
to bed: 81 am not i'll. i will show
myself so the world will see am not
ILL.,"
The Pope doctors deny the report that
the prelate is suffering from influenza.
They say his weakness is due entirely to
fatigue, and that there is no special
reason for alarm.

Death ofDuke of Tetuan.

Madrid, Feb. 9.-The Duke of
Tetuan is dead. The Duke was born
in 1884. His father was General O'Don-
nell, who won the title of Duke of
Tetuan by capturing Tetuan in Morocco,
in 1860. The present Duke held the
position of foreign minister until 1897,
when he resigned, as the result of quar-
rel with Senator Comas in the Spanish
Senate. The Duke became so enraged
at Comas during the quarrel that he
knocked the latter down. The Duke
was very proud of his Irish ancestry,
and asserted on several occasions that ne
was Lord of Donegal, Ireland, as rightly
as Duke of Tetuan.

Young Pleads Guilty.

New York, Feb. 9.-The trial OF
William Hooper Young, charged with
the killing of Mrs. Annie Pulitzer in
September last, was brought to sud
den termination this morning, when the
prisoner pleaded guilty to murder in the
second degree. The plea was accepted
by Justice Herrick who Immediately
sentenced the prisoner TO life imprison-
ment in Sing Sing prison. Young will
be Immediately removed to Sing Sing.
The entering of the plea came like a
bombshell. When court opened Lawyer
Hart said that his client was ready to
submit to a plea of homicide in les
ser degree than that of murder in the
first degree. District Attorney Jerome
insisted that if plea was entered IL
should be murder in the second degree.
Young was brought into court, pale and
haggard, and, entering his plea, JUS
tice Herrick sentenced him to life i'm
prisonment in the prison at Sing sing.
| The proceedings came as complete
surprise to the jury, who were excused,
and to the witnesses and spectators. 1t
is believed that Mrs. NJ. l.. Willard,
the mother of the prisoner, was RESPONSE
BILE for the entering of the plea which
will incarcerate her son for life unless
he is released by executive clemency.
Young's grandfather was Brigham
Young, the Mormon elder and leader OF
the Mormon church. Young pleaded
guilty to one of the bloodiest and most
brutal crimes perpetrated in this city.
Last September he lured Mrs. Annie
Pulitzer, with whom he was inloye, to
his fiat. There he struck her with some
blunt instrument and with fiendish pur-
pose slashed her with knife. Young
tanned the body Of the victim into q
trunk and carried it down stairs and piled
it into carriage waiting at the door.
Then followed a wild ride down Broad
way, the swaying carriage with its
CHASTITY load attracting the attention Of
many pedestrians. He took a ferry
boat to Jersey City and drove to the
Morris canal into which he dumped the
body. The remains were found later
and everything pointed to Young as the
murderer. When his apartments were
examined the mystery was cleared al
every evidence of the bloody attack wa
visible. Young had in the meantim,
disappeared but was later apprehendec
in Derby, Conn, where he was recog
nized by his pictures printed in tn
newspapers. His physical condition o
late has been that of a man completed.
overcome by remorse and nervousness
over his crime. His thin emaciateC
body and unkempt appearance CAV
every indication of man suffering from
insanity. Experts examined him ant
pronounced that he was shamming.

THE LITTLEFIELD BILL.

The Littlefeld antitrust bill as passed
by the House on Saturday provides that
corporations hereafter organized must file
returns with the interstate commerce
commission, and those now existing must
file these returns, if so requested by said
commission, giving full details bearing
on their organization and manner of car
rying on business along the lines of Lit
tlefeld's original publicity bill.
1t contains a strong prohibition of re-
bates of any character, with penalties for
violation against the corporations either
granting or receiving benefits of said
character.
Corporations which attempt to monopo-
lie production by controlling prices are
prohibited from the use of the instru-
mentalities of interstate commerce. Car
riers are prohibited from carrying the
products of such corporations.
The Sherman antitrust law is amended
so as to provide against excusing witness
es from testifying on the ground that
they might incriminate themselves, but
it gives witnesses immunity from prose
cution for anything to which they may
testify.
gives all Circuit Courts of the United
States additional jurisdiction in such
cases, and makes it the duty of district
attorneys to begin proceedings on petit
ton. The court is given authority to
summon witnesses beyond its jurisdic-
ton. Persons or corporations injured by
corporations declared unlawful are given
power to sue and recover three-fold dam
ages and costs.

A RuHDING OF GOLD.

If the government will lend Colorado
$40, 900, 900 in the precious metal, Col
orado will have house of pure gold in
its building at the st. Louis Exposition.
Ten million dollars worth of gold will
be sufficient to produce in miniature the
Capitol or White House at Washington.
Secretary Shaw has received from Sem
ator Teller letter asking for the $l0,-
100000 loan for exposition purposes,
and the Secretary says he sees no reason
why the gold should not be temporarily
put to the use desired under a proper
guarantee from Colorado. Ten million
dollars in gold weighs little over Is
tons, sufficient to reproduce quite a
miniature, even though of such a precious
and heavy metal
