May Keen Gunboat.

There is a suspicion that the return
of the Venezuelan gunboat Restaur-
adOr is in some way dependent upon
the immediate payment of this pre-
liminary sum of S27, 800. The Restaur-
adCr was seized by the German navy.
and thus far it has not been returned,
although the protocol specified that
all captured ships should be returned
to Venezuela at once.
The Germans evaded the spirit if
not the letter of the protocol by in
sisting that the Nehezuelans should
go to the island of Trinidad to get
their captured ships. This was at
first supposed only to be a bit of petty
spite work on the part of the Ger
man naval commander. but it is now
supposed the emperor has instructed
him to hold on to the Restaurador as
security for the preliminary payment
to Germany. The German minister's
demand seems to bear out this view.
He did not make the return of the
g1nboat conditional on the payment,
but apparently left that to be infer
red.

CORNELL EPIDEMIC
Typhoid Outbeak Carries off Over

TRoU BILE is LAID TO THE WATER
Measures Taken to Secure That Puri
ty of the Fluid by Using
Big Filter.

ithaca, n. Y, Feb. 23.-Cornell uni
versity and the city of Ithaca are in
state of terror over an epidemic of
typhoid fever and it is feared the uni
versity will have to be closed, for
nearly LOCO students have left. With
more than 10e nurses fighting for the
lives of fever patients and doctors
working day and night, this little city
of 10000 inhabitants, $500 of whom
are students of Cornell university. is
in a state of panic. Every day brings
new victims to the fever and hardly
day passes without one or more
deaths. Students are fleeing from the
city by scores and the university
threatens to be left without a corpor-
ais guard
Authorities Moved Slowly.
The scourge has already caused
more than a score of deaths and it is
estimated that more than 200 persons
have been stricken. Most of the vic
tins have been Cornell students. Dur
ing the first few weeks of the fever
little attention was paid TO the epidem-
ic and hot until the absentees from
college classes became noticeable was
it considered seriously. Even then no
emphatic measures were taken by the
local health board.
Water Supply of the Town.
All this sickness and death is due
to the impurity of the water supply.
Ithaca is situated upon three hills,
known as West and South Hills. the
main city being located upon what is
known as the Flats The university
is on the brow of East HILL Down
the ravineS between the hills flow But
termilk, Six-AIile and Fall creeks,
which furnish the water supply to the
city. Fall creek furnishes the uni
versity with water and is supposed
to be pure, as only those students who
live or have been living in the city
proper have contracted the disease.
Six-MIIe Creek Causes the Trouble.
SiX-AIile and Buttermilk creeks are
the supplies tnat are looked upon with
suspicion, but to the impurity of the
former is charged the serious condi-
tion with which Ithaca is confronted.
SiX-AIile is the main feeder with But
termilk creek as an adjunct. The dis
ease is traceable to contamination of
SiX-NIile creek by laborerS who about
two months ago were working upon a
new dam for the Ithaca WaterworkS

DISREGARD PROTOCOL
Kaiser Declines to Re-

Washington, d. C., Feb. 23.-Ger-
many has made fresh demands on
Venezuela and apparently proposes to
retain possession of the Venezuelan
gunboat Restaurador and other ships
in spite of the protocol signed Feb.
Is.
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, the
German envoy, called on Minister
Bowen and demanded the immediate
payment of $27,5OO MIR. Bowen re-
fused the demand, pointing out that
the protocol specifically and inten-
tionally deferred this payment for "A
period of 80 days, and that it was not
due until March Is. Mr.. Bowen also
declared that he had no authority
whatever in the premises. because his
original powers were exhausted when
the protocol was signed. He express
ed surprise that the representative of
the German government should, af-
ter having signed the agreement, de
mand further concessions.

A Lesson From Minnesota.

When the jury declared former Mayor
Ameo. of Minneapolis. guilty of bribery.
an old man in the back part of the
court room calculated, Gosh. never
though they'd do it," says Eli in Mime
apoli- Commercial Bulletin.
There are too many people in the
world who work ON the theory that cv-
erything i, done by favor and that the
little fish suffer while the big ones c,-
cape. The carping critics of Justice. the
ignorant one, who fail to understand
the system of government under which
we are living. are always ready to cN-
press doubts about the possible triumph
of right. The Northwest has heard the
remark many times since the municipal
corruption trials began in Minneapolis
that the chief of the gang. the mayor
himself. would never be tried Later
they said he would never be convicted.
Later they said he would never wear
stripes. Enough has happened to prove
to these doubters that right and Justice
will make an example of the strong a.
well as the weak.
Doe Ame-' conviction is a good thing
IN many ways. 1t will strengthen the
backbone of a lot of weak knecd people,
for one. 1t will force some of the ,kep-
teal. who can see no good come out of
anything. to concede that they are
wrong. 1t will teach the young man
that there is more in being straight and
honest than in being a mayor like Ames.
There is a toll gate ON the road to
success called integrity. The toll col
lected of Doc Ames is heavy. Toll is
demanded of all men, but many pay it
before they will sacrifice their honor
