President Olcott, Of the Orinoco Nav

The company has a number Of claims
against the Venezuelan government and
Mr.. Olcott, accompanied by an attorney
Of the United States, went to Caracas
to endeavor to secure q settlement. He
sought to appear before the regular ju-

It is feared here that the work Of the
various arbitrations now sitting in
Caracas will be rendered nugatory by
this attitude Of the Venezuelan govern
ment.

Cork, Aug. 3.-The firing Of royal
statutes and enthusiastic cheering well
coined King Edward. Queen Alexandra
and the royal party on their arrival at
Cork Saturday morning on board the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert from
Berehaven. The port was bright with
bunting, the whole town was well
decorated, and the streets were filled
with jubilant sightseers. The lord
mayor and corporation Of Cork well
coined the visitors when they landed.
Their majesties drove through the.
decorated streets, which were lined with
troops and bluejackets, to the race
course, where the king presented colors
to two Irish regiments
The Catholic bishop Of Cork was in
vited to assist at the ceremony Of bless
ing the colors, most of the men being
Catholics, but he refused to be ASSOC
ciated with the Protestant chaplain.
During the afternoon their majesties
visited the exhibition. The royal pro-
cession to the grounds was greeted
everywhere with the same warmth
which marked the previous functions
during the kings tour. Addresses were
presented by several local bodies, to-
which the king replied. saying that his
previous great interest in the welfare Of
Ireland had been further deepened by his.
present visit. He had gained clearer
insight into the conditions Of Irish life
and hoped that the legislation on which
parliament was engaged would power
fully contribute to the prosperity and
contentment of the, Irish people. But,
good laws alone would not secure that
end. There was need Of better indus
trial training for the young, keener
spirit Of cooperation among all classes
and the creation Of new and varied
sources of employment for the people.
Their majesties subsequently re-
turned to Queenstown where they re-
ceived further addresses. The king in
his farewell reply said that the people
could rest assured that he had the in
terest Of Ireland at heart. which remark
ELECTED vociferous cheering and much
waving of flags and hats. The royal visit
to Ireland was thus brought to sue
cessful close.

Counsel for August w. Machen Satur-
day filed in the criminal court of the
district demurrer to the former indict-
ments Of Machen. It alleges that every
count in the indictments is fatally de-
tective in that 1t fails to show that
Machen was an officer Of the government
at the time the ofenses alleged were
committed. Machen withdrew plea Of
not guilty.
The demurrer to indictment for
bribery against Diller B. and Samuel A.
Croft, in connection with Machen, also
was fled. Like Machen, the Croft broth
ers withdrew their plea of not guilty. and,
say every count of the indictment is de-
fective. The demurrer contends that the
indictment does not in legal manner
charge the defendants with the commits
sion Of any offense against the United
States, and that it does not charge any
act or promise which is crime or mis-
iemeanor under any law of the United
States.
