HEADWAY is MADE
BY REV0LUTIONISTS.
Stand Excellent Chance for Success
in Venezuela.


in Venezuela.
Washington, May 1S.-Advices of a
thoroughly reliable character received
in Washington under date of May /
show that the Venezuelan revolution
lists are not only holding their own,
but are making considerable Roadway.
The advices say:
The districts of Coro Barquiste-
mento, Tucacas, on the west side. Ciu@
dad Bolivar, on the Orinoco, and it's
surrounding country. are still in the
power of revolutionlsts. Within sixty
miles of LaGuayra, in the Rio Chico
district, the revolutionists are holding
forth, and although the government
few weeks ago sent an expedition
there to drive them out, they succeed
ed only in making them retreat and
within a few days they were again
back there. A battle took place in
which the government lost over 1000
men and about 800 wounded were
brought back to LaGuayra after a two
days fight.
"On the other hand the revolution
lists have not succeeded in ousting the
government or in winning any partic-
ular fight, but they are decimating the
government troops, and the govern
ment has now no more than 5000 men
under arms.
An expedition went from LaGuay-
ra-about 1,500 men-to Tucacas, there
to meet the forces of the revolution
lists, but the result is very doubtful.
Two days ago the news came that
Gen. Matos had left Curacao and land

gressive campaign on his part is again

among these is the President of the
United States"

velt's recent speeches in the West, in
which he said that the country must
maintain and increase our armament

race has yet lacked the courage to die
Far greater and higher a courage is
required when the circuit attorney Of
st. Louis fearlessly attacks and con-
quers corruption.
The President of the United States
would show higher courage If he would
say to men like Plat or Quay, L have
no sympathy with your aims and
methods, and you may count on my
indexible opposition He would show
greater courage if he would administer
his office regardless of his political
future. That would be the kind of
strenuous life for him to lead"

London, May 1S.-Dr. Hermann Ad-
Ter, the chief rabbi, in the course of a
pastoral charge to his congregation to-
night, referred to the anti-Jewish riots
at Kischeneff. The accounts published
by the press, he said, had not exag-
gerated the extent of the barbarities
committed. He had to-day received a
letter sent by a number of leading citi-
Zens of Kischeneff, which fully cor
roborated what had been published.
The letter asked for help, for which he
made an appeal.
Dr. Adler declared that he was
pleased that the Americans were going
to make representation to the Russian
government regarding the massacres,
and that they were already collecting
subscriptions for the relief of victims.

Hebrews was held tonight. Many of
the spea kers were from Kischeneff:
and speaking in Yiddish. made pas
sionate protests against the authors of
the outrage. A committee was APP
pointed to collect subscriptions in Lon
don for the relief of the sufferers by

further representations of the United

again pointed out the impossibility of
including in the commercial treaties
the opening to trade of Manchurian
towns. on account of Russian opposi-
ton.

China open Mukden, Hardin and a
small port at the mouth of the Yalu
river.

sentative of the Southern cotton mills,
who has investigated the trade condi-
tions in Manchuria, reports that the
American cotton trade was increasing
enormously. until recently, when the
Russians began to exert pressure upon
the Chinese, amounting to coercion. for
second orders for Russian firms
amounting 20 S00dD0 bales of goods,
which otherwise WOULD have gone to
America.
Mr.. Baldwin says, the foreign firms
complain bitterly OF the difficulty of
conducting business under the Russian
administration. and ne believes that
unless Russian absorption of Man
ohuria is checked, the United States
will be deprived of a most promising
market for cottons within a few years.

Taken to Mean "A Speedy SettIem ent
OF VI. & o. Strike.
jackson, Tenn, May 1S.-When the
Federal court met here to-day to hear
the arguments in the injunction pro-
ceedings against the striking employees
of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, Judge
w. T. Irwin of Springfield, Mo, speak,
ing for the strikers, said that on the
face of the bill the judge would have
to grant the restraining order issued
by Judge Hammond, as it was the
same as that approved by the Supreme
