ADMIRAL DOUGLAS cENsuRED.


Port Of Spain, Trinidad, Jan. g.
The special permit granted by Ad.
miral Douglas to the steamer Bolis
var, Of the Orinoco Steamship COM
pany, to pass the blockade and pro-
coed to Ciudad Bolivar has caused
much adverse criticism here, but
mostly from persons interested in To-
cal competition for 0rinoco river
freights. Admiral Douglas says that
he granted this permission to the
owners Of the Bolivar because Of the
time lost while she was rendering aid
to the British cruiser Fantomc,
aground in the 0rinoco river. He de-
clares that the Bolivar could have
made two trips to Cudad Bolivar
during the time she was engaged in
helping the Fantome. Disinterested
parties in Port Of Spain approve Adj
miral Douglas policy. The 0rinoco

from here on january Z on the Brit

the Venezuelan coast, returning to
this port about January IA.

consider the validity Of the seizures
of Venezuelan craft and to fix the
value Of the prizes. This step Is be-
ing taken irrespective Of future de-
velopments as to the possible re-

Lively DAseussisn Over Measure 70
Create 0ensrAl star In Army.


Washington, Jan. 6.-When the sem
ate reconvened Monday after the
holiday recess few senators were ab-
sent. Almost Immediately discus
sion began regarding the coal situa-
tion. Mr.. Lodge prefaced his intro
duction of q bill suspending for 90
days the duty ON coal with the state
ment that in New England there was
much distress owing to the scarcity
of coal, and that unless relief was
afforded at once q number of facto.
ries would have to shut down. Mr..
Culberson followed with % resolution
providing for the removal of the duty
on anthracite coal. Mr.. Platt OBJ
jected, saying it was his understand
ing that there was no duty on an
thracite coal. Mr.. Vest took excep.
ton to this statement and said that
the board Of general appraisers and
President Roosevelt had decided that
such duty is imposed. Mr.. Vest also
introduced resolution on the sub,
ject.
Another resolution bearing on the
subject of coal, introduced by Mr..
Jones, of Arkansas, recited the
charge of w. R. Hearst that there
was an illegal combination among
certain railroads to control the ship
ment of anthracite coal and called ON
the attorney general for the evidence
which it was alleged had been Sc
cured by him. 1t caused a lively de-
bate and the discussion continued un-
til two o'clock, when the resolution
went over, being displaced by the
omnibus statehood bill. Mr.. Nelson,
of Minnesota, addressed the senate
in opposition to the bill and favored
single statehood for Oklahoma and
Indian territory. Mr.. Nelson had not
concluded his remarks when at $3.50
p. m. the senate went into executive
session and shortly afterward ad-
journed.
The house resumed work after
recess of two weeks, but within two
hours the machinery broke down for
lack of a quorum. The bill to create
a general staff in The army was the
issue. Mr.. Hull said the measure
had the unanimous Endorsement Of
the military committee. In reply to
question by Mr.. Bartlett, of Geor-
gia, he said that the general of the
army at present was myth.
Mr.. Hay, of Virginia, Q member OF
the military committee, in support of
the bill detailed the chaotic condition
which existed during the Spanish war
owing to the conflict of authority.
This condition, he said, could not ex-
ist under the pending bill.
A lively discussion followed and an
attempt was made to pass under sus-
pension of the rules, which required
q two-thirds majority. The vote re-
suited 1Os to 59--not q quorum.
A call of the house developed the
presence of only 15O members, not a
quorum, and at two o'clock the house
adjourned.

Tobacco trust Won.

St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. Gin the case
Of Joseph P. Whitwell, a local cigar
and tobacco dealer, against the Con-
tinental Tobacco company, known as
the tobacco trust, Judge Lochren
in the federal court dismissed the
case on the motion Of the defend
ant, who demurred on the ground
that the complainant did not show
sufficient cause for action. Whitwell,
who had ordered 5000 worth of goods
of the Continental Tobacco company
and refused them for the reason that
the goods would be delivered only on
the condition that the buyer accept
other goods which he had not or
dered, sued the company for $500.
