THE VENEZUELA AFFAIR.

The lifting of the Venezuela blockade
is still delayed while the details Of the
settlement are being arranged to the
satisfaction of all the allies.
Germany has asked what assurance
United States Minister Herbert w.
Bowen, representing Venezuela, can
give that the allied powers will receive
percentage of the customs receipts at La
Guayra and Puerto Cabello, in view of
the lien which France is said to have on
all the duties collected at Venezuelan
ports. Mr.. Bowen has replied that the
prior guarantee to France will not inter-
fere in the slightest degree with the
settlement he now offers.
Representatives of Germany. Great
Britain and Italy inquired whether the
allies would be given the preference over
other powers in the payment of the
claims and how the money would be
apportioned. Mr.. Bowen replied that
he would leave these questions to the
allies TO settle among themselves.
It is still expected that a full prelimi-
nary settlement will be made within
day or two aud the blockade lifted.

Nav Reject the AusgIiech,

Vienna, Jan. 28.-The question OF
the adoption or rejection of the Ausg-
liech, or dual agreement between the
countries of Austria and Hungary, is
reaching a crisis. Premier Won Koerber
introduced the Ausgleich in the Reichs-
rath today, with strong speech in its
behalf. 1t is doubtful, however, if the
Reichsrath will accept it, as the Czech
radicals declare they will obstruct it to
the utmost. A dispatch from Buda Pest
announces the introduction of the agree
ment in the Hungarian House of Depu-
ties also. The Magyar Independent
party has announced its opposition and
the leader of the party Kossuth has
given notice of an amendment, demand
ing the separation of the two countries
in the future. 1.-THE Ausgleich, expressed
in few words, embraces the regulations
of the fiscal and commercial affairs of the
two countries, on the quota paid by them
to the common expenses of the empire,
and the privileges of the Austro-Hun-
Qarian bank.

London, Jan. 2S.-A prominent Ger
man who has arrived in London from
Berlin states that DIR. Won Holleben,
the German Ambassador at Washington,
who is in Germany, ostensibly on sick
leave, had a stormy interview with the
Kaiser on his arrival at the German cap
ital. The Kaiser, the German says,
bluntly expressed his opinion of the oc-
currences in Washington which have
caused such criticism of the Ambassador $
actions. Holleben, it is expected will
be put on small pension, beginning
with last week.

FoyDSEss For HUGGING GIRLS
"Jack the Hugger," who has for some
time been annoying women in Jersey
City, is believed to have been caught
when Joseph Mills, so years old, was ar
rested for hugging and attempting to kiss
Miss Minnie Kloproth, of Arlington
avenue. Miss Kloproth was on her way
to visit her sister, Mrs. Marian Briege-
man, when she noticed she was being
followed by a man. When she reached
her sisters home the man followed her
into the area and, throwing one arm
around her neck, tried to kiss her. Miss
Kloproth screamed and struggled and got
away from the man. She ran into the
street. The stranger followed her, but
her cries brought to her assistance X. G..
Weaver, who lives nearby; Charles
Awart, a driver, who jumped from his
truck to aid her, and Excise Commission
err Lennon. The man made vigorous
resistance, and Weaver, who was the
first to seize him, was twice knocked
down. Lennon ran into neigbboring
drug store to telephone for the police and
found in the store Policeman Lockwood,
who was off duty. When Lockwood, heard
what the trouble was he arrested Mills.
Mills was arraigned before Judge Muir
ply yesterday afternoon and was identi-
fed by Miss Kloproth. The men who
went to Ms Kloproth's assistance also
identified the prisoner. Judge Murphy
sentenced Mills to six months imprison-
ment.

ATTENTION has several times been
called recently to the fact that northern
people, with all their professed love for
the colored race, have but little practical
use for Africans. They want them
foisted upon the south as federal office
holders and worked assiduously for
many years to bring about impossible
social conditions in this part of the coun-
try. The latest manifestation of their
antipathy for the negro race comes from
Brooklyn, where nearly half century
ago Henry Ward Beecher and others
were delivering abolition speeches anu
where 'Uncle Toms Cabin" was re-
garded as a classic. The residents of
Lafayette avenue, in that city, now
object to the establishment in that
neighborhood of colored branch of the
Young Women's Christian Association.
When it became noised about few ago
that a detached frame house on that
avenue was about to be purchased by
the Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton for a branch for the colored women
and girls of the borough the neighbor-
hood received shock. Informal meet
ings have been held and little else than
this one subject has been discussed in
the neighborhood for week. A few
nights ago petition was drawn up and
is now being circulated in the neighbor-
hood. 1t calls upon the association to
find another location for its home, and
points out that its proposed quarters will
be the means of decreasing the value of
abutting property, as well as clearing the
neighborhood of all its better class of
residents. Most all the white residents
say if the proposed colored branch of the
association is established in their neigh
borhood they will move. Further
comment on the above is unnecessary.

Do,,a,, v.g Col A. x. Mcclure was

DouBTLEss Col. A. X. Mcclure was
actuated by lofty motives when ne pro-
nosed to the Pennsylvania legislature
that statue of General Robert Il. LIE
he placed at Gettysburg, but the proPo-
sition has proven an unfortunate one as 1t
has given a number of "small bores" an
opportunity to exploit their hatred Tor
the South and to malign man whose
Christian character and noble deeds
will live in history as long as history
lasts. whereas his traducers are so small
that they are hardly noticeable while
alive. Col. Mcclure, in the Pennsyl-
yania House of Delegates in Harrisburg
last night, made strong speech in favor
of the proposition, but he was followed
by several others, including Ex-Governor
Bann, who bitterly opposed the measure
which the latter termed can attempt to
exalt treason and an effort to make the
rightly beaten as prominent as the VIC
torious." He said che regretted that
citizens of the North who never wore the
blue. and were never at the front, should
be the first to propose an I'M
deserved honor to one who did all that
lay in his power to disrupt the union,
who was the stay of the shareholders
rebellion. the staff of its support, the
hone and idol of the lost cause. " Con
tinuing Mr.. Bum said;
General Robert f. Lee was the brains
and sword of the shareholders and rebels
of the solid South, himself a traitor to
his oath-bound fealty to the United
States. There is wide difference, and
distinct one, between the champion OF
,,ountry and freedom and that OF section
and human slavery. lin inc

that in this Christian era Of human TEL
lowship bind all men in one elastic
brotherhood, | am willing that the man.
Robert +. Lee, shall repose in the
charity of merciful oblivion, l am not
willing to glorify the traitor, General
Lee and the arch treason he so ably up
held and served on the very field where
treason's desperate effort to carry the de-
vastations of war into the loyal north
was checked and rolled back in one
effective. victorious, bloody tide beyond
the Potomac finally and forever. Let
the ex-slave-holding elements q the
South canonize their great captain upon
any field of victory he won beyond the
line. but not in the loyal north; not on
the field of his defeat; not at Gettysburg,
where sleep the tens of thousands OF
heroes and patriots-martyrs to country,
duty and manhood. If it were to con
ciliate and break the solid South that
continues vet to vote as it shot in the
sixties, let the South remain solid
Israel is joined to his idols, let him
alone"
Mr.. Bunn's speech shows that he Is
as small as the ordinary bun, biscuit or
cracker, while his estimate of General
Lee is of no concern whatever to the
rest of the world; but really the true
friends of General Lee should not place
his memory in position to be assailed
by such characters, who are wise only
in their own conceit. The South only
is the place for statues of southern

Last Nights railroad Accident.

Plainfeld, n. j., Jan. 28.-It is
estimated here this morning that the
list of dead in the wreck of the New
Jersey Central Railway will reach 30.
An accurate estimate may never be
made, for as the ruins of the Easton
train were pulled out from under the
wrecked engine of the Philadelphia
flyer, parts Of bodies were discovered
and it is believed many were burned.
The flames, which added to the nights
terrors, had been extinguished, and the
tracks cleared so that traffic was re-
sumed, but there was no assurance
that all the dead had been found and
some of the bodies were still unidenti-
fed. The train which was run into
was known as the Easton train
No. 10; the train which ran into it as
Philadelphia flyer No. 1921. The flyer
was not Royal Blue train, but one of
the trains which run hourly be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.
Engineer w. Z. Davis, of the
Philadelphia train which crashed into
the Easton local, seems to have been
responsible for the terrible slaughter,
according to the railroad officials. Gen
eral Superintendent Huntington and
General Manager Besler say there was
no excuse for the wreck; that Davis
ran past his signals which were set
against him. This is shown conclusive
ly By the fact that the signals are still
set and will remain set until the track
has been cleared. This shows they
were working properly and that Davis
is responsible. He was new man and
was running "extra." He usually took
that engine when the regular engineer
was off. 1t is probable that Davis ex-
pected the local to side track as usual
and believed he had clear line, and
therefore was careless about watching
the signals and disregarded the block
signals. Engineer Davis is still alive
in the hospital. He is in dying con-
dition, however.
An authentic list made up this afternoon
shows the total number of dead in the
wreck to be twenty.
